Chapter 2067 Origin, Spirit, and Creation
The Saint realm was a realm meant to prepare one to enter Immortality. It was a realm meant entirely to create a Nascent Soul within one's dantian and have it be merged with the body, thus making the person Immortal.
Similarly, the Immortal realm was also a realm of preparation. Instead of creating a Soul to become Immortal, in the Immortal realm, cultivators had to form their Divine Creation to become a Divinity.
A Creation was the first step of the Divine realm. A Creation could be anything, but more often than not, it was something that was intricately linked to a cultivator's cultivation techniques, experience, dao, and many other factors. As such, each one was unique to a person.
Alex had witnessed a few Creations up until this point. Three mainly had made him give some thought to it.
The dark fog created by Guild master Blackfrost in Alex's store had been the old man's Creation. The frost-colored eyes that Daoist Frosteyes, the Seer of the Blue Silk sect, used had been her Creation.
The last one had been something Alex had seen a long, long time ago, back when he returned to the Western Continent for the first time after becoming a king.
Down at the ravine behind the Broken Ravine sect in the Luminance empire, Alex had found a small idol of a cross-legged man. It had been the idol that had been held in the Death Aura that Alex fed Godslayer later on.
That had been a Creation as well.
To create a Creation, one had to first create a Spirit. A Spirit was nothing more than a seed from which the Creation flourished.
The illusory image of the flower and the tip of the spear that Alex had seen from the two sect masters of the Poison Fighters sect had been their Spirits. Had they continued to cultivate, the Spirit would've reached its final form, becoming a full Creation.
The flower may have ended up as a full plant. The tip of the spear was likely going to become a full Spear.
Spirits were the most important step in creating a Creation, but it was not the first step.
The first step came way before that. To create a Creation you needed a Spirit, but to create a Spirit, you needed an Origin.
He looked around, his gaze silencing the crowd. Alex turned to look at Pearl and reached out without a word. Pearl flashed into a streak of light, disappearing into his Soul Space.
Next, something appeared from his Soul Space at the same time. A talisman.
Alex crushed the talisman, and before anyone else could tell what was happening, he teleported out of the secret realm.
Alex arrived on top of the teleportation formation he had used to go into the secret realm. In his hand, he held the two Sabers still. He hadn't bothered to hide it.
People within the secret realm knew he had it. He didn't doubt people outside had noticed it either.
As expected, within seconds, he was surrounded by Divine realm cultivators or high-ranking Immortal realm cultivators, all of whom wanted to get their hands on those sabers.
Alex held onto those sabers, standing with his head held high. Staring at everyone who looked at him with either a surprised look or an envious gaze.
"Young man. Do you wish to sell those Sabers? My family is willing to pay you a million spirit stones."
"Don't listen to him. My family will give you a Divine treasure as well as anything you want from our treasury."
"We will make you our sect's prime disciple."
Everyone spoke all at once, which was fine. But they used their aura to put pressure on him too.
Alex stared at them, using his Intent to fight off that pressure, just like he had learned to do on those stairs. The sudden lack of impact from their aura, got the cultivators to be taken aback.
3 figures appeared at the front. The first one was the white-haired old man, who was the current sect leader of the Twin Saber sect. The other two were none other than Elder Shang, and surprisingly, the sect master of the Blue Silk sect. Their arrival caused the many cultivators to move back out of either fear or respect.
"Fellow Daoists, please do not try to use underhanded means to get what you want from our disciple," the sect master said. "Or this Thunderspine will be forced to retaliate on behalf of his disciple."
