BXBX NOVEL Chapter 817 Recovering
"Alright, I know where we can go now. If you guys have nothing to do here, we\'re going to leave straight away."
Krune and the others nodded at Soren\'s words. He was the only one with a power equivalent to a Nascent God, so they needed him to open the Spatial Gates.
After that, Soren opened the passage, and they left the planet. The next time they appeared again, they were somewhere close to the middle of the Godly Path Realm. Back where they ascended, no one knew where the Kalame Sect or Sky Shifting Sect was located. That being said, they could only go where they could find more information.
Fortunately, things became a lot easier from that point onwards. As the center of the Godly Path Realm, this place was packed with cultivators and demon beasts of all levels. Naturally, there was no lack of places to buy and sell information. Krune still had many Godly Energy Stones, so it made things faster.
"Okay. There are a total of 349 sects called Kalame."
"That many?"
Krune shrugged his shoulders as he said.
"It\'s because the Godly Path Realm isn\'t divided into many Universes. That means the information they have here encompasses everything. But that\'s fine. I already know which one is the real one. I just had to match the Kalame Sects\' locations with the Sky Shifting Sect. In the end, there\'s only a single Kalame Sect located close to a Sky Shifting Sect. That must be the right one."
"Where are we heading first, then? The Kalame Sect or the Sky Shifting Sect?"
Soren snorted in response.
"To the Kalame Sect, of course. That friend of yours has the Devil Flame God with him, right? I\'m sure he\'s fine. I don\'t want to wait to retrieve my Mental Energy Source. After all, I don\'t know what the Kalame Sect intends to do with it."
Krune couldn\'t help but ask.
"Senior Soren, can\'t you feel the presence of your Mental Energy Source from here? After all, the \'black water\' always pointed in the direction of the rest."
Soren shook his head as he replied.
"Whoever has my Mental Energy Source has probably put it in a Spatial Ring. As long as it isn\'t brought out, my Mental Energy Source is considered to be in another dimension. That being said, I can\'t feel its presence unless I\'m close enough. When you did that test of yours, my Mental Energy Source wasn\'t inside a Spatial Ring, right?"
Krune nodded.
"That\'s true."
Luvile didn\'t want to waste any more time, though.
"Enough with the shit chat, let\'s go take his Mental Energy back and visit the Sky Shifting Sect after."
Soren agreed with Luvile and immediately opened another Spatial Gate. This time, in the direction of the Kalame Sect.
Sure enough, as soon as Soren came out of the Spatial Gate, he immediately felt the presence of his Mental Energy Source. That connection showed the direction he should take. Krune also recognized the place they were in when they saw the planet in the distance.
"Oh! It\'s the Kalame Sect\'s Planet!"
Soren nodded.
"My Mental Energy Source is there as well."
He quickly spread his Mental Energy Scan and located Lila Kalame, the 7th Stage Nascent God Realm ancestor of their sect. Soren could tell that his Mental Energy Source was inside her Spatial Ring. That said, Soren immediately took action. However, he didn\'t want to waste time with pleasantries or anything, so he opened a Spatial Gate right in front of Lila. As one could imagine, the protection formations on the planet were useless in front of Mental Energy.
"What?!"
Lila was shocked to see a Spatial Gate appear in front of her and immediately stepped back. Following that, she activated all the seals in her palace, ready to attack at any moment.
However, she was taken aback when she saw who came out of the Spatial Gate. Naturally, she recognized Krune at first glance. Still, she kept her guard up since they shouldn\'t have been able to open a Spatial Gate into her quarters.
"Krune, what\'s the meaning of this?"
Krune bitterly smiled before saying.
"Sorry, Senior Lila. We need that Black Water back."
Lila narrowed her eyes as she looked at Soren. Somehow, she felt a big threat while looking at him.
"We had a deal, didn\'t we? This Black Water was supposed to be mine. However, I don\'t mind negotiating over it if the price is good enough."
Soren snorted as he released his power. In an instant, all the seals in the room were made useless as Lila was locked in place. Lila\'s expression then turned from suspicion to dread. It was obvious just how large of a power gap she had in relation to that person in front of her. She could just barely open her mouth as she asked.
"T-This... A-Are you a g-god?"
Soren smiled and nodded.
"I am. Also, the Black Water you have in your Spatial Ring. That thing is mine to start with."
Lila wasn\'t an idiot. Without the power to fight back, it would be suicidal to defy this person. She was absolutely sure. No one she knew of could contend against this guy.
"So-Sorry for my impertinence, senior. I\'ll g-give you the Black Water s-s-straight away."
Finally, Soren nodded with a satisfied expression.
"That\'s more like it."
He stopped using his Mental Energy to suppress Lila, leaving her free to do whatever she wanted. Of course, Lila didn\'t waste time and brought out the rest of the Black Water, which was Soren\'s Mental Energy Source.
The entire thing then moved in Soren\'s direction before entering his head. It was quite a weird sight since the amount of \'Black Water\' was several times the size of Soren\'s head. Nevertheless, all of it disappeared inside as if Soren\'s head was a black hole.
Seeing that, Heavin couldn\'t help but ask.
"Master, is it okay to absorb it now? Won\'t you be forced to ascend to the God Realm because of that?"
Soren shook his head as he replied.
"It\'s fine. Now that I have much higher control over my Mental Energy Source, I can suppress the absorption entirely."
Feifei then asked something else.
"Does that mean that you\'ve recovered your full power now, Senior Soren?"
Soren shook his head as he said.
"No. Some of my Mental Energy Source was lost over time. Fortunately, the seal that kept my Mental Energy Source inside has slowed down this process. Otherwise, it would have been much worse. Then again, I have the power of a weak god now, which is already a good start."
"The good thing is that I now have more than 50% of my Mental Energy Source back. With that, I now have the ability to remake the rest of it. Of course, it\'ll take a long time before I finish."
Krune, Feifei, and Heavin were happy for him.
"Congratulations, Senior Soren/Master."
Soren faintly smiled as he looked at Luvile.
"What about you? Where are my congratulations?"
Luvile\'s expression turned dark.
"Fuck you!"
Soren laughed out loud, gladly accepting Luvile\'s indignation.
Lila, on the other hand, couldn\'t help but feel like she had been forgotten.
\'What should I do now?\'
Of course, Soren and the others knew that she was still there. With that, Soren looked in her direction with a solemn expression.
"Well, even though you wanted to negotiate something that was already mine, it is a fact that you\'ve helped me. After all, if you haven\'t called Krune and Iem back then, my Mental Energy Source would never be released, and I would still be in the Mortal Realm."
Lila was taken aback for a moment but smiled in the end.
"It\'s my pleasure to help a god like you, senior. I\'m probably one of the very few cultivators or demon beasts in the Godly Path Realm who has talked with three real gods already."
Soren didn\'t care whether she was telling the truth or not. After that, he looked at Krune before sending him a message through Mental Energy. Krune then pondered for a moment and nodded in the end.
"Sure. We aren\'t losing anything with that anyway. I also don\'t feel like it\'s right to take the Black Water from Senior Lila without giving anything back."
Lila had a puzzled expression on her face as they talked about her. However, she wouldn\'t dare to intervene.
Finally, Soren looked in her direction before offering.
"You\'re already in the 7th Stage of the Nascent God Realm, so it should be more than enough for you to easily resist the Godly Energy in the God Realm. As thanks for helping me recover my Mental Energy Source, I\'ll bring you to the God Realm. You don\'t have to be afraid of the God Ascension Tribulation."
Lila was taken aback for a moment before she began to feel excited. The ascension tribulation of the Godly Path Realm wasn\'t any easier than the Mortal Realm one. It also had the same chances for those who could pass it, being less than 1 percent. Naturally, no treasure in the Godly Path Realm could be more tempting than what Soren had just offered her.
"Thank you, Senior. This humble one will be eternally grateful."
Soren nodded, not minding it too much.
"However. Be aware that once we arrive there, you\'ll be on your own. Alright, I\'m leaving now. I\'ll come back to take you once the time comes."
Lila nodded and fervently replied.
"Yes, Senior!"
