Chapter 2040 Formation
Eska and Isemeine's aura continued to climb, surging by leaps and bounds. In fact, their talents seemed to be evolving so fast that their cultivation couldn't even keep up.
The light sway of their bodies came so naturally, so lightly. It didn't take them much effort at all, and yet they seemed to have just used one of the most profound movement techniques to ever exist.
Part of this was thanks to Ryu. After he fused with the complete Winds, he had no need of his Northern Heavenly Wind any longer. He thus made use of his Inner World to separate it from himself and gave it to his wives.
This comprehension of wind had allowed Eska's [Immortal Sakura] Visualization to step beyond a threshold that had once held it back.
She had spent so long refining the Runes that formed the Visualization that she had forgotten to consider what it might mean to infuse her Inheritances... her Dao into its very fabric.
Once she had this realization, everything changed, and she progressed by leaps and bounds.
And that was what triggered their third change.
The Heavenly Dew Soul was relatively weak. Unlike the Silver Touch Bloodline, there was no connection between Heavenly Dew and the soul, and no feedback to be formed.
However, after the Heavenly Zu Bloodline was forged between the two of them, this connection wasn't just established; it became like a gushing dam, allowing an explosion of Spiritual Quintessence to form that still had yet to settle down.
The Heavenly Dew Soul was thus hurriedly converted into a hybrid of the Heavenly Dew Soul and the Silver Touch Soul. Not only did they gain the ability to steal the Vital Qi of others and make it either their own or morph it into Spiritual Qi, or Quintessence, but...
The Heavenly Dew's ability to endlessly pump vitality into their user made their soul quite a lot like Ryu's Perfect Blackbody Soul, capable of self-healing.
But... this was only one aspect.
Not only was it extremely difficult to rebuild the foundation of a talent that was graded so high, but because it had so many paths, it was impossible to deal with.
It had to be remembered that in Sacrum, there was no "soul" pillar of talent. Most only thought of Bloodline, Meridians, Bone Structure, and Spiritual Foundation. They had no idea about Soul Talent and the Dao.
As such, most of her life, Eska had ignored her soul. Of course, she was still a Mental Realm expert, but she had believed that the difference in her soul only came down to how much Spiritual Qi she could consume and how large her Spiritual Sea was.
Even when she learned that her Soul Talent should exist, she had no idea what she was working with. That was because her Perfect Whitebody Soul was the perfect mirror image to any and everything. No matter what she threw it at, it would be able to replicate it perfectly.
Because of this, there was no looking for its strengths or weaknesses... because its strengths were endless and its weaknesses mostly didn't exist.
After a while, Eska gave up, turning her attention to other things. But she never realized that this was the best decision that she could have ever made.
As with all powerful talents, the Perfect Whitebody Soul was unruly and difficult to manage. Ryu was particularly unlucky with his batch of talents, but that didn't mean others didn't struggle as well.
What she never realized was that every time she and Isemeine progressed in another facet of laying their foundation, her Perfect. Whitebody would silently record these matters, building up a storage of understanding.
The Immortal Sakura pulsed in their eyes again.
And now, it was truly prepared to bloom.
They opened up their arms and the Immortal Sakura in their eyes shed its blossoms. Soon, the trunk of the tree vanished, replaced by fluttering petals that quickly formed into a complicated lotus pattern.
When these petals fused together to complete the structure, the Tribulation Clouds above became more infuriated.
The formation of Heavenly Pupils.
