Chapter 736: Soldier of War, Astral Idols

Guan Yu exhibited caution, slowing down his pace as Wei Wuyin was a few paces ahead. While they remained a few meters apart at all times, neither truly trusting the other in this Battlefield, his actions were indicative of the developing situation's increasing intensity.

"What's this?" The spiritual aura permeating the air induced a strange reaction from Wei Wuyin's Astral Souls. All four, without fail, started to pulsate with astral force. Something within this spiritual aura was stimulating them.

"You...don't know?" Guan Yu was astonished by Wei Wuyin's question, very curious why a Soldier of War was asking such an easily understood phenomenon. Almost immediately after his bout of doubt, it dawned on him that Wei Wuyin likely thought the Nexus Battlefield had the exact restrictions of the original Battlefield.

"In the original Battlefield, there's a severe restriction on spirituality, astral force, intense gravitational forces, pure essence, and turbid light energies. However, the Nexus Battlefield is quite different. You've noticed the refined physique and Astral Cores?

Wei Wuyin nodded as he touched his fingers together, feeling the aura within the air.

"This is to facilitate the difference: The invoking of your Astral Idol!"

Wei Wuyin was startled, "Astral Idol?" He was deeply unfamiliar with this term. He had only known of Soul Idols, not these so-called Astral Idols.

Guan Yu was becoming increasingly uncertain. "You don't know? You really don't know what an Astral Idol is? How could...you not?" Guan Yu slowly descended into the abyss of disbelief, but as he continued speaking, his scarlet eyes fixated itself on Wei Wuyin's body for a long, long moment before his eyes bulged outwards.

Wei Wuyin couldn't sense Guan Yu's emotions or see his facial expression, but he could hear the racing heart beat of realization dawning on Guan Yu. Clearly his ignorance had betrayed a certain fact about himself. He couldn't help but wryly smile.

He really needed to find sometime to properly learn about cultivation in detail, simply read up on the intricacies of each. Unfortunately, even Jing Jiu's memories were of little help. It seemed the War Blessed of the Battlefield was similarly unaware of what an Astral Idol was, so he was just left plain ignorant.

"Im-Impossible!" Guan Yu shook his head, vehemently rejecting this possibility. Yet the gaze at which he looked at Wei Wuyin became more and more peculiar as time passed. Before they could continue, a sound erupted from the distance.

"No, no. Only those who've reached the limits of their physique." Guan Yu elaborated, but Wei Wuyin frowned. He didn't understand that explanation entirely.

Guan Yu wryly smiled, realizing that Wei Wuyin wasn't getting it. This was why cultivation details were difficult to disseminate, that inability to convey their meanings. Trying to explain any detail of it was outrageously difficult.

Step.

Guan Yu refocused, his tone grew more severe. "There's different levels of physique, and these physiques have different needs to reach the limits of refinement via starforce or other means to gain this ability. The stronger it is, the more difficult it is to achieve." He tried to push his understanding to the limits and simplify it.

Wei Wuyin's mind stirred. He faintly understood.

"So there's two?" A fragrance dispersed into the world alongside the vocal soundwaves of this voice. It was female. It sounded like the hymn of the heavens, beautiful and elegant.

Guan Yu's stance grew unsteady. "Oh my god, you're..." His tone became ghastly, as if he just saw a ghost of hell. There wasn't just fear, but a quiver to his voice. He halted his sentence, and Wei Wuyin could sense the shifting of his feet, almost as if entering a defensive posture.

"What did you do to that person who screamed?" Guan Yu asked, yet his tone firmed. There wasn't any fear any longer.

Wei Wuyin merely stood still, uncertain what was happening. However, his head was slightly lowered and his thoughts were circulating at a rapid pace, communicating with his Astral Souls.

"Death is delicious, isn't it?" The voice asked instead of answering, a smile bleeding through it. Whether that smile was sick and twisted or gorgeous and enchanting was anybody's guess.

"..." Guan Yu gripped his bident firmer.

At this time, Wei Wuyin's head faintly lifted towards the sound of the female voice. He smilingly said, "I don't know; I haven't tried it."

The female seemed to have been caught off-guard by Wei Wuyin's answer. Her voice grew sweeter, more heavenly, saying: "Oh...you will... You will."
