Chapter 49: -49- Nebula

Chapter 49: -49- Nebula Soon, Silas was back in the main hall, ready to quickly go back to the inheritance realm to let his family know that they had made it and would soon be leaving for the outside world.

"Senior?" Silas called out, and a moment later, the old spirit was standing next to him.

"Senior, I'd like to ask you to allow me to enter the inheritance realm once again so that I can speak to my family. After that, I'll be ready to enter the outside world," Silas said.

The old man nodded his head, but before he could speak, Thea jumped into the conversation, "Silas, don't forget about the spatial lynx... She said that if I could bring her out of this place, she would become my beast companion, so I'd like to see if she still feels that way... An emperor beast as a beast companion would surely be helpful."

Silas nodded, "I'll go and ask her before I come back."

"Thanks," Thea said.

"Alright, is that it?" the old man asked.

"Yes, Senior... So how does this work?" Silas asked.

The old man then pulled out a small talisman and tossed it over to Silas.

"Bind this, and you will be able to enter and exit the inheritance realm at will," the old man said with a smile.

Silas then sent his qi into the talisman to bind it, and soon he discovered that he could sense the entire inheritance realm—every square inch of the place. He could see his Armstrong clan, Thea's Redstone clan, his parents, and everyone else inside the inheritance realm.

But that wasn't the most important part... He could see into the outside world. He could only see so far, but it was there. All he had to do was will it, and he would finally leave this small inheritance realm and enter the real world.

"Wow," Silas muttered in astonishment.

"But before you go, I want you to have this," the old man said as he handed Silas a large and thick manual.

"What is this?" Silas asked.

The old man just smiled.

Silas looked down at the manual and read the title:

'Heavenly Transformation'

"What... I thought we would only gain this after reaching Revolving Core in both qi and body cultivation?" Silas asked.

"Well, you've already got the ability, so I see no reason to hold it back from you... And while you're going to your clan, you can leave it there for them to learn and master... It should help protect them while you're away," the old man said.

"Really? I can share this divine ability with others?" Silas asked. He had figured that he and Kai wouldn't be able to share the three divine abilities with other people.

The small child then gave off a small laugh, "Ha! That is the most basic of divine abilities, so of course our late master wouldn't mind if you shared it with anyone. But the next two abilities you get? Hmph, don't expect the same..."

Silas nodded his head in understanding, "Thank you, Senior." He quickly thanked the old man. He knew that the old man didn't have to give him this manual, and he likely only did it because he had a good impression of Silas. So not only did he need to keep up that good impression, but he was genuinely grateful for everything the old spirit had done for him so far.

"It was nothing," the old man said.

Silas then turned his attention to Thea and Red, "Thea, Red, hurry and come learn this divine ability. Then I'll take my leave so we can enter the wider world."

"Thanks," they both quickly said.

***

Several hours later, both Thea and Red had memorized the divine ability, and now Silas was about to leave the pagoda.

He sent his mind into the inheritance realm and willed himself to teleport to his Armstrong clan.

A moment later, he was standing at the front door of his parents' house.

"Knock." "Knock."

He quickly knocked twice, then entered.

"Mom, Dad, I'm back..." he yelled.

***

After a very emotional reunion and several hours of talk where Silas first explained that he, Thea, and the rest had all made it and were perfectly fine, he gave his parents the divine ability manual 'Heavenly Transformation.'

Silas didn't explain how he got the ability, just saying he acquired it by luck, but he expressed how he wanted this to be given to his Armstrong clan and Thea's Redstone clan so that they would be stronger and able to better protect themselves.

Charles, upon seeing the divine ability manual, was so happy he even started to tear up. With this divine ability, his clan, along with the Redstone clan, who were linked by Silas and Thea, would be more than strong enough to protect themselves against even the strongest clans in this inheritance realm.

While they couldn't act as they pleased, they were more than capable of protecting themselves.

Soon, though, it was time to go, and after an emotional family hug, Silas was finally headed toward the spatial lynx.

Silas, now with the talisman, could easily find the spatial lynx and was able to teleport straight to her location. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Hmm?" The spatial lynx raised her head in confusion. How did this human appear right before her? Could he have mastered the art of teleportation?

"Hey," Silas said to his old friend.

"Can you teleport now?" the beast asked. The beast knew that Silas was talented for a human, but she didn't think that he could come close to touching her comprehensions when it came to space, so how could he have already comprehended a spatial dao?

"Nope," Silas said.

"Then how?" the beast asked.

"I'll explain that later, but first, do you remember what you told Thea? You said if she could lead you out of this place, you would be willing to be her beast companion..." Silas said.

The beast nodded, "Yes, I remember."

"Well, do you plan to stick to that statement?" Silas said with a smile.

The beast scoffed, "What... Do you two plan to challenge the battle pagoda? I have no interest in losing my life anytime soon... I might challenge it one day once I'm stronger, but now... I'm not fully confident."

"What if I told you we've already passed the trials... All you have to do is agree to be Thea's beast companion, and I promise I'll take you out of this realm," Silas said.

The beast was stunned and gave Silas a close look. Could he be telling the truth?

Not having anything to lose, she said, "Can you prove it?"

"So, is that a yes? Will you become Thea's beast companion?" Silas asked once again.

The beast quickly nodded, "Yes, if you can get me out of this small place, I'll agree to be her beast companion."

"Good, then don't resist." A moment later, Silas teleported himself and the spatial lynx into the main hall of the pagoda.

Silas and the spatial lynx now stood in the main hall next to Thea and Red.

The spatial lynx quickly put her guard up and began to look around.

"Where is this place?" she asked.

"This is the main hall of the pagoda," Silas explained.

"While you can't gain anything from this pagoda, you will be allowed to leave as long as you accept to be either mine or Thea's beast companion," Silas said.

The beast nodded her head, "Fine."

She then looked to Thea, "If you're still willing."

Thea quickly nodded her head.

A few moments later, they had completed the bond of equals, and Thea and the spatial lynx were officially spiritually connected.

"Can you hear me?" Thea sent to the spatial lynx.

"Yes, I can," the spatial lynx answered.

"Good," Thea said with a beaming smile.

"So, what's your name? Do you have one?" Thea asked.

"No, I've never been given a human name... I will pick one myself... Hmm... I think my name will be Nebula... Yes, Nebula," Nebula said.

Thea smiled, "Well, it's an honor to have you as my beast companion, Nebula."

Nebula then transformed into her human form. She was around Thea's height with long dirty blonde hair, and she wore a white robe.

"Here," Thea said as she handed Nebula a small bag.

"What's this?" she asked.

"This is a couple of spirit stones for you to rank up to Early Revolving Core... But make sure you don't go past that," Thea said.

"Really?" Nebula said with widened eyes. She had only been Thea's beast companion for a few moments, and she was already being given such a gift.

Thea nodded.

"Thank you," Nebula quickly sat down in a lotus position and started her rank up to a rank 3 Disciple.

A little while later, she had done it, and she was now an Early Revolving Core qi cultivator and a late Transcendent body cultivator.
