BXBX NOVEL Chapter 290 No Change
"Am I that amazing to look at" Seth\'s words fluttered straight into only the ears of the two sisters who were watching him from a distance, the cave and the crystal around them none the wiser about this conversation.
A smile graced Irene\'s face and she was just about to give an excited reply before she caught herself and snorted.
"At least I don\'t have to worry about carrying you," she said, broadcasting her words to the whole cave.
"Will there still be more breakthroughs?" Irene asked.
"I don\'t know "Seth replied his answer startling both sisters.
"Well in that case we\'ll leave you be. Don\'t rush things and be careful, you just crossed a major cultivation barrier, take your time to consolidate your cultivation." Irene said, this time her voice a lot softer and caring.
"I\'ll do as you said" Seth replied.
Knowing full well that Seth could now see despite not looking in her direction, she nodded to his words, and then turned around, pulling Aimy with her.
"No wait, I want to talk with Seth" Aimy cried out as Irene firmly took her by the right arm.
"Let him be, for now, he has to cultivate."
"No fair, you got to talk with him" Aimy complained but Irene wasn\'t listening as she kept moving, but a second later Aimy stopped struggling, and a second later, Irene also let her go and faced her.
"What did he tell you," Irene asked Aimy with narrowed eyes having felt the wave of soulsense that had just hit Aimy.
"Well he said ….," and just as Iren was expecting to hear what Seth had told her, Aimy bolted.
This action caught Irene by surprise, but she didn\'t waste time following after her naughty sister.
With a smile, Seth watched the sisters run off, and then with a shake of his head, focused his mind back on himself.
He had spent the large part of the past days absorbing the pure qi in the atmosphere and had felt no repercussions, a surprising and very welcomed development for him.
Were Seth to have been using the normal qi stones, it would have taken him nearly a week to complete all these breakthroughs, but with the pure qi in the cave, he easily filled his dantian like he was filling a bottle of water.
Seth closed his eyes once more as he entered into another round of cultivation.
….
About four hours later, Seth opened his eyes and let out a deep breath.
Within those four hours, Seth had been thoroughly entrenched in cultivation and now he had filled his dantian.
He waited and waited, but that immaculate feeling that begged him to trigger another breakthrough did not come.
Seeing as he could no longer breakthrough for now, Seth floated up slowly, and with a bit of concentration moved began moving till he came before another huge unused crystal.
The Crystal toward above Seth with its tip reaching the high ceiling of the cave, and it was at the bottom of the crystal that Seth sat.
He slowly placed himself at its bottom, stretched out his hand, and with practiced ease, began to drain its beautiful soul-healing energy.
.....
An hour later and Seth\'s body trembled, but this movement had no effect on the surrounding.
His body kept shaking for close to 10 minutes it finally regained his calm, and then Seth opened his eyes and silently stared at the crystal before him.
At the moment, Seth\'s soul was completely healed, and he could feel its fullness from deep within.
He thought of returning to his soul space, but decide to prolong his visit a little bit longer.
Sure his soul was healed, but he saw no reason to not keep on strengthening it now that he was in such a paradise.
With a new short-term goal, Seth closed his eyes and went back to absorbing the soul energy from the crystal.
Several times Seth had to change crystals after sucking them dry, yet he felt no end to his soul\'s greediness.
Like this Seth found himself spending hours absorbing soul energy, wondering when his soul would finally be satisfied and why none of the sisters had come to check on him.
By Seth\'s estimation, he had already spent close to 7 hours on the crystals, yet he couldn\'t feel even the slightest of changes.
A minute later and Seth\'s decided to call it quits, deciding to now check on his soul space and know the situation there.
Without delay, Seth closed, his eyes, and the next time he opened them he was in his very familiar and unfamiliar world.
Seth was currently standing in his default entry location which was the red sea, but this time the red sea was thicker and darker than the last time he was here.
Though Seth frowned at the likely difficulty this would present to him contacting the slumbering entity, the thought about how robust his soul had now became excited him.
Seth\'s excitement over the sea didn\'t last long as soon a large shadow was cast over him, and when he looked up, he was greeted to the sight of a gigantic piece of land floating over him.
With a thought, Seth found himself now above it and looking down at the island which floated in his soul space.
"Perhaps one day you\'ll become the size of a continent," Seth thought, his gaze moving over the island till it landed on an excited girl who kept on waving at him.
"How do you feel" was the first thing Seth said immediately after he appeared in front of Alexia.
"Good," Alexia said with a smile," and from the look of your soul space I\'m sure we can both agree that you\'re doing great too.
"True, but how is the black portal, any changes."
"No, none at all."
"Good, then let\'s…" Seth started saying but paused, he looked around at his soul space and then spoke again.
"I want you to return the black portal, but before that, I want you to ask if you have any idea why I haven\'t felt a change in my soul despite having absorbed soul energy for the last 7 hours."
