26 Transformation

Jana spoke of its plight but didn't go into as much detail as with Ming Ren. Lin Qiang and Lin Dong didn't completely understand the reasons behind its request. Small members of a sixth-ranked influence, how could they decide the fate of people from the Upper Realms?

Although general knowledge of the existence of the Upper Realms was available even to them, how to get there and details were away from their reach. Until today, many even considered them a myth, with the Heavenly Palace Realm being the apex of all existences. In the end, the Upper Realms were an unreachable place.

But Lin Dong was not a fool. Seeing how Ming Ren favored Lin Qiang and even persuaded this senior to help, this girl probably had a great secret. Her importance in his eyes rose once again.

"Do not hesitate!" Ming Ren couldn't help but yell, "How many people you know would kill for this opportunity?"

Ming Ren didn't even need to go far for examples. Lin Yin, Lin Shu, and Little Fu still laid there dormant. If they knew that a heaven-sent opportunity was lost, would they not rip out their own hair?

"I, Lin Dong of the Forest Clan, swear to the heavens, I will do my utmost to help save the Sacred Tree Clan descendants! If I go against this vow, may I be condemned by the Heavens!" Elder Lin Dong was a determined person. He spoke without wavering and took it further. Even Jana was impressed.

Lin Qiang also decided, "I, Lin Qiang of the Forest Clan, swear the same! If I go against this vow, may I be condemned by the Heavens!"

Jana smile grew behind the veil. Once again slas.h.i.+ng its body, several drops of blood flew in front of the humans.

"Lin Qiang, you need to focus on absorbing everything you can. Don't worry if it starts to burn and you think you can't handle the influx of power. If there's danger, I'll make a move!" Ming Ren rea.s.sured her, and the girl nodded, "But even if you can, don't break through right away. Tempering the body is important, but you can't skip this opportunity to find True Elements and Rare Energies. No matter what, don't break through before doing so!"

Lin Qiang was stunned. Breakthrough to the Spirit Sea Realm all the way from the 7th Layer of the Body Tempering Realm? Was that even possible?

Like Lin Dong's, Lin Qiang's Cultivation Law was already extremely powerful and needed large amounts of Spirit Energy to progress, although less than Ming Ren's. But the Beast G.o.d's Blessing meant she would also be able to absorb much more Spirit Energy than him from Jana's blood.

"Elder, you focus on tempering the body as much as possible, then breakthrough right away, reach as far as you can!" Elder Lin Dong stayed too long on the Body Tempering Realm Peak. Unlike Lin Qiang, after finis.h.i.+ng the tempering of his body he could go straight for the Spirit Sea Realm and as far as possible.

He already knew his True Element and hadn't felt any Rare Energy.

"Benefactor, you call me Lin Dong directly!" He then sat, ready to cultivate. Being called talentless, unable to go any higher, relegated to a small spot in a small clan. After meeting Ming Ren, everything changed.

Having experienced many things, Ming Ren had his own view of the Dao of Cultivation.

Talent? Even if you're talented, if you're unlucky, you'll die without reaching greater heights!

Talent? Even if you're talented, if your Dao Heart is weak, you won't be able to pa.s.s any challenges!

Talent? Even if you're talented, if your will isn't indomitable, you will give up right away!

This is why Ming Ren settled on Lin Dong. He might not have high comprehension but an extremely strong will and righteous disposition.

"Good!" At the same time, Ming Ren nodded, and Jana once again used his powers to dissipate the blood and send it to the cultivators. Both of them did their utmost to absorb everything.

The blood was powerful, overflowing with Spirit Energy. Lin Qiang had just grasped the improved Cultivation Law a bit before, but her talent was also far above a common cultivator, and she didn't have any problems adjusting to it. Slowly and precisely, spirit energy circulated through her body, tempering each important corner and organ.

She didn't feel any shackles when trying to break through this time. 8th Layer of the Body Tempering Realm!

And she also didn't stop there. A small cloud of impurities evaporated due to the extreme heat produced by the blood, muscles became much stronger and more flexible.

The peak of the 8th layer!

It only took Lin Qiang a few minutes to pa.s.s this bottleneck. 9th Layer!

Her body still brimmed with Spirit Energy, so it didn't stop there. The peak of the 9th Layer, then half-step into the Spirit Sea Realm. Lin Qiang had no problems condensing her complete Spirit Sea. Like Ming Ren reminded her, she didn't break through and instead focused on finding True Elements and Rare Energies.

The impact on Elder Lin Dong's body was much greater as he didn't have the Beast G.o.d's Blessing. The Holy Wood Spirit Energy of that place wouldn't cause harm because of his True Element, and Jana's blood also carried the Strength of Wood, but still was a heavy burden to bear, even more so to a wounded man.

Compared to the smoothness of Lin Qiang's cultivation, Lin Dong felt his whole body burn from the inside, as if entire organs would suddenly burst into flames.

"As expected, it was still too much for a common cultivator,' Jana admired his determination. The pain he was going through must be unbearable.

"It's not enough to stop him," Ming Ren smiled.

Lin Dong gritted his teeth. He felt like pa.s.sing out, but if he did, this opportunity would be gone. Revolving the [One With The Wood] Cultivation Law at its maximum power, Lin Dong diligently tempered the body to the limit. His formerly incomplete Spirit Sea became stronger, well-built, solid. Half-Step Spirit Sea Realm!

Suddenly, the True Element of Wood integrated with his consciousness, as if it was always there. He had no more steps to take at that level.

The world changed for him at that moment. The Spirit Energy in the air felt much clearer, capable of flying from the body with a mere thought. The Holy Wood element in the air resonated with his own element, and the small innate element connection within his Cultivation Law started to take effect.

Lin Dong's body healed at a quick pace, visible to the naked eye.

All the shackles of the Body Tempering Realm that plagued him for years were gone. Finally, he had stepped into the Spirit Sea Realm.

From the muscles to the marrow, everything changed.

Yet the Spirit Energy didn't end there. With the breakthrough, the small innate connection of his law and his own True Element of Wood, the pain was gone. His absorption rate soared.

Peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, 1st Layer!

Lin Dong seemed to have entered a trance and showed no signs of stopping.

Spirit Sea Realm, 2nd Layer!

"Acceptable!" Jana praised.

"Heh, he is not done yet, Senior!" Ming Ren said.

Lin Dong never felt like this before. The forest itself was part of him.

Peak of The Spirit Sea Realm, 2nd Layer!

By now, he already started to absorb the Spirit Energy in Jana's place.

"That side is interesting as well!" Ming Ren pointed to Lin Qiang.

The young woman cultivated diligently, trying to comprehend the mysteries of the world and her own body. Suddenly, it felt as if she became unmovable as a mountain.

"True Element of Earth!" Jana pointed out.

The air around Lin Qiang howled fiercely as if it got furious.

"True Element of Wind! Dual Elements!" Jana couldn't help but become excited once again.

From Lin Qiang's head, a purple streak of Rare Energy could be seen.

"This is… Mental Energy!"

From deep inside her Soul, the form of thousand of Spirit Beats floated.

"The mark of a Beast Summoner! Summoning Rare Energy!" Now Jana stared dumbfounded at her talent.

"Unexpectedly… even Mental Energy!" Ming Ren also didn't expect Lin Qiang to have dual-element and even Mental Energy, although Summoning was already certain.

Having felt all her True Elements and Rare Energies, Lin Qiang didn't hold back, consolidating the Spirit Sea and entering the Spirit Sea Realm.

Just like Ming Ren said, as soon as she reached the Spirit Sea Realm everything would change. The Beast G.o.d's Blessing awakened a little bit, capable of moving the hearts of Spirit Beasts easily. Jana felt an intense attraction to the girl.

Besides, the Summoning Rare Energy was an innate power. Although it could be improved, anyone that was able to invoke the energy was also able to Summon Spirit Beasts without learning any additional techniques, just like Mental Power.

Someone with Mental Power could directly attack someone's mind right away. However, it wouldn't be efficient or strong.

Rare Energies could be used instead of common Spirit Energy to fuel powers. Although mental Energy was considered a Rare Energy, it also had its own spot in the division (Spiritual Energy, Soul Power, Mental Energy) due to being the most common Rare Energy.

A few hours pa.s.sed, and both Ming Ren and Jana waited patiently. Ming Ren also used that time to absorb some Monster Cores, even if it still wouldn't be enough for the next layer. The final result left them extremely happy.

Lin Dong, Spirit Realm, 3rd Layer Peak!

Lin Qiang, Spirit Realm, 2nd Layer Peak!

"This…" Both Lin Qiang and Lin Dong could barely contain their excitement.

However, Jana reminded them, "You don't have much time left. People already started coming in from the outside."

Ming Ren nodded, "Lin Qiang, try to summon something. You shouldn't think too much about how, just focus on a creature."

Lin Qiang nodded, and a pinkish energy flew from her hands into the air. Soon, a pink version of Little Red appeared, cultivation base at the 2nd layer of the Spirit Sea Realm.

It was so effortless she couldn't help but be surprised as if she had done it many times in the past.

"...This!" Both Jana and Lin Dong felt the sudden surge of power, becoming perplexed. It was so natural, without effort, as easy as snapping one's fingers.

Lin Dong thought this was the might of a Beast Summoner, but Jana knew it was the power of a Spiritual Beast Oracle!
