Chapter 564 Map
564 Map
The Greater Nature Spirit reached Mid Tier-3 after merging with the Legendary Artifact, Domain of Natura. It was a great surprise, especially after Michael found out that the Greater Nature Spirit integrated the Legendary Artifact's domain into one of its main abilities.
The domain's range and full effect was applicable all over the Michael's territory and extended even further, nourishing the Untamed Jungle's soil, flora, and fauna. The origin energy in the surroundings was pulled to the Greater Nature Spirit, creating a highly densified energy zone around the Greater Nature Spirit.
The energy zone was energy-dense and would allow Tierless Summons to advance to Tier-1 in no time as long as their talent and understanding of their energy absorption technique was high enough.
"I guess High Beasts will be even more interested in my territory now that the Nature Spirit evolved. The Domain of Natura is amazing," Michael mumbled to himself while giving his utmost to ignore the clingy Forest Pixies and their lethal cuddle attacks.
He could only shake his head and smile lightly.
The Greater Nature Spirit's branches rustled and it was not long after that a flood of emotions and images flashed through Michael's mind. The Greater Nature Spirit was trying to communicate with Michael.
"You're trying to talk to me?" Michael asked, only to sense more emotions and images reach him through his Link of Loyalty with the Greater Nature Spirit.
"You are talking to me. Okay. But why are you showing me pictures of monsters? Wait. I know this place! I remember this monster habitat near the cavern system!"
Hundreds of images of monster habitats reached Michael. Most of them were already known and reported, but he didn't recall seeing some habitats in the reports, yet the Greater Nature Spirit was aware of them.
"You can sense the presence of all monsters within your domain's range. Is that it?" Michael scratched his chin. He could instinctively tell that the answer was a solid yes, but he had to ask, nonetheless.
Therefore, without thinking much about what he should do now, Michael retrieved the Sacred Charm of Detection and the Pillar of Territorial Awareness.
"If I place the Pillar of Territorial Awareness nearby, do you think you can connect to it and keep it updated?"
A flood of emotions, indicating an affirmation, reached him a moment later.
Michael broke into a smile, "Great!"
Being able to live-update the Pillar of Territorial Awareness' map would be a great advantage against all spies and unwelcome intruders. They would appear on the Pillar's map the moment they entered the Greater Nature Spirit's domain and could be exterminated on the spot.
He turned around to see Rebecca Zauber staring at the Pillar Map. Her gaze traveled to the ginormous main body of the Greater Nature Spirit, her eyes quivering in excitement.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were busy studying the Soul Techniques that I've manufactured," he smiled lightly at the young Descendant.
"I finished that a few days ago already. I came looking for you and I noticed that you were busy with this huge Nature Spirit. I saw you sitting in front of it and thought that you were busy refining your War Rune, or practicing your mind refinement technique," Rebecca shrugged lightly.
"I didn't want to bother you, so I came to check on you every now and then."
Michael gave Rebecca a curt nod. He patted the Pillar of Territorial Awareness lightly before he walked up to Rebecca Zauber.
"You're still interested in Soul Techniques, right?"
Rebecca's eyes shimmered brightly, "Of course!"
"In that case, you can take these Memory Crystals. They contain all the information I have about Soul Techniques and my creations. Since you signed an NDA forbidding you to tell anyone about the things you learn from me, there is no need for me to hide my knowledge of Soul Techniques from you," he retrieved a few Memory Crystals and handed them to the young Descendant.
Rebecca Zauber was extremely intrigued about Soul Techniques. Therefore, Michael hoped that she would start experimenting with Soul Techniques soon. If Rebecca turned into a Soul Technique Creator, Michael wouldn't have to invest much time doing the same. He could focus on creating his own Soul Techniques and customized Soul Techniques. Meanwhile, Rebecca would focus on the creation of Neutral Common Class Soul Techniques for all types of Soultraits and specifications.
That sounded the most feasible to Michael. In exchange for knowledge, nobody else in the Trilance Alliance could procure much without betraying humanity while Rebecca would create all kinds of Soul Techniques, earning him a fortune in return.
"You are really going to give them to me...just like that?" Rebecca's eyes widened, but her hands lunged forward to take the Memory Crystals before he could change his mind.
"By the way, did you hear the news about the Sacred Desert?" Rebecca asked, trying her best to silently stash the Memory Crystals away while changing the topic.
The Sacred Desert was one of Michael's sore spots. His brother died in a hidden region within the Sacred Desert. It was not nice to be reminded about something like that. However, since it might be possible to resurrect his brother, it didn't hurt him that much anymore.
"What happened in the Sacred Desert? Did the Undead problem worsen?"
"Worsen? Well..you could say that. It's just a little bit more disastrous than that," Rebecca shifted her weight from one leg to the other, clearly feeling a bit uncomfortable. She felt like she shouldn't have mentioned the Sacred Desert just to distract Michael.
"It's a nightmare!"
