Chapter 4350 Superior Spirits
Chapter 4350 Superior Spirits
Isabella was shocked.
She knew the little Grand Geocrest Metal Spirit's prowess was originally eight levels higher. She guessed it had to do with the environment she grew up in while absorbing dense earth and metal energy. Still, after coming here, the little spirit's prowess was suppressed.
After all, this fragmented world was filled with light-attributed heaven and earth energy, becoming a hindrance to the little Grand Geocrest Metal Spirit's powers that was earth and metal attributed. This caused her prowess to drop to seven levels higher. She was suppressed here.
But now, it had increased to nine levels higher, making her confused as to how it happened.
There was no way the Goldimelt Jasmine Light Essence boosted her prowess by two levels higher. It wasn't a heavenly resource. This left Isabella contemplating and figuring out in moments that this treasure born from light and gold attributes helped the little Grand Geocrest Metal Spirit from being suppressed here, allowing her prowess to return to normal, and subsequently, it raised her prowess by one more level higher.
This allowed the little Grand Geocrest Metal Spirit to have a prowess of nine levels higher.
'How amazing… Heaven-Tier Spirits of Empyrean Grade are too powerful in the Elemental Dimension…'
Isabella could only wonder how unfair it was for the spirits in the true immortal world.
For example, the Celestial Descent Light Spirit is an Earth-Tier Spirit, ranked first in the Emperor Grade Light Elemental Charts. When it became an immortal spirit, its prowess shouldn't exceed five levels higher, even if it flipped the heavens.
The only way its prowess would increase was if it transformed into a Heaven-Tier Spirit.
That didn't happen here. Instead, the same Celestial Descent Light Spirit had a prowess that was seven or even eight levels higher. It elicited a minor reaction of shock from her but wasn't something huge since she could take them down with ease.
Still, the fact that a spirit grew in the Elemental Dimension or the true immortal world made the difference between heaven and earth. The latter couldn't compare to the former!
In the same way, she could only think how powerful this little Grand Geocrest Metal Spirit would grow to be in the future. After all, a mere Earth-Tier Spirit could have its prowess increased from the limit by three levels, so what about a Heaven-Tier Spirit?
Moreover, the Grand Geocrest Metal Spirit was a Heaven-Tier Spirit of the Empyrean Grade.
That was an entirely different chart from a Heaven-Tier Spirit of Immortal Grade, which comprises the three stages of Immortal Spirit Stage, Immortal King Spirit Stage, and Immortal Emperor Spirit Stage.
Then came the fabled tier above it but she hadn't even seen one spirit from it.
Even for Calypsea, who could compare to a Heaven-Tier Spirit of Empyrean Grade, this little Grand Geocrest Metal Spirit could make her flee at the same realm without even fully realizing her potential yet. It was a scary concept- where spirits from the Elemental Dimension were insanely powerful.
But clearly, it wasn't like all the Celestial Light Descent Spirits were as powerful as Lhasa and the other spirit warriors back in the settlement, so she relaxed. She guessed the spirits who spent the most time absorbing the elemental energy or consumed the most resources of the Elemental Dimension tended to gain power like in any other world.
She could also tell it was unfair for the supreme geniuses here. They would not be able to compare if they encountered an adult Heaven-Tier Spirit of Empyrean Grade that was as strong as the current little Grand Geocrest Metal Spirit.
"Amazing…" Shirley whispered, feeling the pulse of golden energy from the spirit ripple through the air.
Bylai gently patted the little spirit's head once more, and this time, she didn't flinch away.
"You're doing well," Bylai said, her tone kind, "Take your time."
After a short while, the little Grand Geocrest Metal Spirit finished consuming what she needed, leaving the rest untouched. Her aura was now noticeably steadier and dense like a rare ore just pulled from the depths of the world.
"… Thank you…" The little Grand Geocrest Metal Spirit murmured, her voice soft but no longer trembling, "I… I didn't think you I would be given some food that is greatly beneficial to me…"
Bylai giggled, "We're not so scary, right?"
"… Maybe just a little," the little spirit muttered, puffing her cheeks with a shy smile.
That response made Shirley giggle in amusement, covering her mouth.
"So…" Bylai tilted her head, "Are you interested in joining us and perhaps entering a pact with me?"
The little Grand Geocrest Metal Spirit turned her gaze down for a moment. Then, surprisingly, she looked up again with a faint flicker of determination in her golden eyes.
"…I'll think about it."
Bylai and Shirley exchanged smiles.
"That's good enough," Bylai said warmly, "We'll be around."
With a nod of parting, the little Grand Geocrest Metal Spirit phased into the ground and disappeared. She phased away through the mountain like there was nothing.
"Ah, I forgot to ask her name…" Bylai grabbed her head.
She was so caught up in trying to act harmless that she failed to ask the important thing that would allow her to close the distance.
"She's sweet," Shirley said as she turned back toward the veil, "She'll come around."
"Hopefully," Bylai replied, holding the half-filled bottle close and returning to Shirley, "If only I had something like Emperor-Tier Golden Dragon Blood, then she might've been more willing to enter. Spirits tend to favor those who have special physiques or bloodlines, after all."
"Yeah. It's yours~" Shirley raised her hands, not grabbing the treasure, "Increase your law comprehension with it, allowing the quality of your Gold Laws to increase by leaps and bounds. Considering your prowess, it could be taken raw, but we have Dalila. Let her make a pill with it."
"Will do~"
Bylai nodded.
The three of them returned to the settlement and they decided that they should not stay for long since they were also in a race with the supreme geniuses in order to get the most amount of resources. Furthermore, they definitely didn't want to lose to Zenova Artoria.
With that- they left, but not without a guide.
Lhasa helped them move towards the next fragmented world.
Apparently, this fragmented world held the entrance to five other fragmented worlds.
One was the mountains where they came from, which were apparently called the fragmented earth world by these spirits.
The next few worlds were the fragmented flame world, the fragmented shadow world, the fragmented sky world, and the fragmented time world.
The supreme geniuses here managed to find the fragmented flame world, which was the next destination on most maps. The map they had gotten from that secretive guy in the town that was meant for Young Master Ragoon appeared to be the fragmented shadow world.
Isabella and the others wanted to go the the fragmented shadow world as they had initially planned. However, they took a detour and went to the fragmented time world.
Time Law Treasures!
How can they not obtain it!?
However, looking at the entrance that had a strange temporal aura, alarm bells rang in their mind. They froze near the entrance, looking at each other's faces.
"I don't think we should enter…" Isabella uttered.
"It's not really harmful if it's just the outer region." Lhasa explained with a tone of low confidence, "Some of our spirits have also entered inside, but when they return, they report not much time has passed for them even though thousands of years have passed outside… sometimes, they even report the opposite… so I think time flows there differently at different daytime or in different spaces… I don't know since I don't go there…"
"…"
Isabella and Shirley looked at each other.
They definitely didn't want to get stuck here for thousands of years when the time limit was just said to be approximately seventy years.
"Haha! You fairies might fear this place, but I don't!" Kennent broke out into a burst of laughter before he pointed towards the entrance.
"The greater the risk, the greater the rewards! Let's go, brothers!"
"Yes!"
Kennent rallied his group, and they walked into the entrance without waiting for a reply.
Isabella and Shirley could only blink, wondering if they were in their group all this time. They had been too silent before finally making a sound. Nonetheless, they felt it was a good riddance and didn't feel provoked at all.
They considered their safety above all else.
"Maybe we'll head there when Davis comes so we can stay together even if it's thousand years or millions of years…" Aila uttered in a joking tone.
"No, you're right. In fact, you're brilliant."
Shirley pointed at Aila and then unceremoniously left.
"Show us the way to the fragmented shadow world then~" She asked Lhasa.
"I don't recommend going there as it's too dangerous…"
Lhasa's expression changed. Her expression turned a bit fearful as she shook ever so lightly.
