Child of Destiny

The entire place fell into complete silence as Nathan and the Golden Dragon Division continued to release their suffocating auras.

No one dared to open their mouth until Tristan Green did so, maintaining a stiff smile. “It is fine Commander Nathan. We can stay here and help you guard the place since we all are already here.”

It would be impossible to go back empty-handed right now when they were already here. Since the ongoing phenomenon was still up in the sky and covering the entire mountain, whatever happening inside Springfields’ territory must still be in process.

And since Nathan had to come out to ward off any ill intentions, it would only mean that it was something of utmost importance.

He was sure that the Springfield Family was hiding something. It was very obvious already and everyone here knew about it. But they could not demand anything from the Springfields since it was not their territory.

Nathan knew that these people were stubborn, especially when they were greedy. The Springfield Family was staying too much in the spotlight and taking almost all the benefits, which made a lot of functions look at them in envy.

It was unavoidable as those with power would be targeted by jealousy.

Nathan scoffed at them before returning to the entrance of the mountain while his subordinates set up a blockade in a disciplined and uniform manner.

He sat on a chair that came out of nowhere before resting, ignoring everyone.

He did not have any reason to demand them to leave since they did not do anything yet. All he could do was to do was to wait for their little troublemaker to finish whatever he was doing.

…

Back in the Springfield Household, Uno had finally overcome the most critical period. He had successfully transformed and fused the two permanent Qi Reinforcement Skills, creating a new one.

This new permanent Qi Reinforcement Skill was much more powerful and more efficient than the previous two versions since he would no longer need to switch between them when fighting.

This newly formed Qi Reinforcement Skill complimented both his advanced Sacred Qi and Primal Demonic Energy as it was created based on the two of them.

With all of these, his body returned to its former balance. His dantian was also filled with both of the energies while swirling around one another along with their respective cores.

What was left to do now was consolidate everything and ensure he did not overlook anything.

On the surface, he looked like a complete mess due to his bloody face and clothes due to the earlier process. But that was all into it since he was far from being in danger.

Evangeline, who was closely observing everything from start to finish, heaved a sigh of relief after making sure that everything was fine.

She then nodded her head and walked out of the room, leaving everything to Uno. She did not disable the Gathering Array since Uno still required quite a lot of energy to stabilize everything, so she just put it on the minimum faction, but let the absorption rate be on the same level.

Right after walking out of the room and closing the door behind her, she quickly informed the two waiting outside. “He survived the most dangerous stage, so there is no need to worry.”

“You stay here and guard him just in case,” she said to David before turning to Old Samuel. “Uncle Sam, you can look for others to use these rooms.”

“I have adjusted the energy distribution of the array and divided it into four more rooms, transforming the rooms into temporary cultivation rooms. After all, it will be a huge waste if we don’t use all the excess Force of Nature,” she added along with a meaningful smile.

Old Samuel immediately understood her intention and nodded. “I will arrange everything. You can rest for now, Little Eve.”

Evangeline smiled. “Thank you, Uncle Sam.”

…

Later that day, Uno had finally finished consolidating his new strength. He had already adjusted to the new ‘body’ and fully enhanced dantian without exercising.

He innately knew how to adjust his new strength and utilized the empowered energies to their fullest potential, so there was no need to train them straightaway.

With all of this, he had already perfected the Yin-Yang Cultivation Arts. He now had both the flawless martial vessel and the perfect energies to match it.

Along with his innate talents and special physique, which were the Foresight and Thinking Reed talents and the Heavenly Martial Body respectively.

He could not help but feel an itch to fight someone in his current state.

But for now, he had to first clean himself from the mixture of impurities and dry blood that had solidified on his body for quite a while now.

But as he was trying to stand, he suddenly sensed a ripple inside his Sea of Consciousness.

He could not help but pause momentarily before saying. “You’re finally back, huh.”

He seemed to be talking to himself, but his word was clearly directed to someone else.

There was no immediate response, which made him frown a little. He was about to sit on the floor once again, planning to meditate and enter the Sea of Consciousness, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

“Tsk! You went too far ahead once again.”

Uno smirked as he heard those words and the familiar tone that he had almost forgotten. “Heh! You’re not that bad either for diving too deep into that place. And almost reaching its greatest depths.”

“I still failed to touch that power though,” responded Shin inside Uno’s head.

“But I gained something different,” he added immediately after, which somewhat surprised Uno.

Uno smiled for a moment before taking the initiative to hand over the vessel to Shin. “Since you are already here, take over of the body and let me rest.”

Swoosh!

He did not even wait for Shin to respond as his consciousness sank deep, which pushed Shin’s consciousness to take over.

Right after his consciousness went to ‘sleep’, the structure of the body followed suit. All his talents and special abilities went to a dormant state. The dantian housing the two higher forms of energies was temporarily sealed along with the Heavenly Martial Body and the newly formed permanent Qi Reinforcement Skill.

Then, taking over, the Spiritual Embryo resurfaced along with its special abilities while the Divinity Grade Mental Energy was fully unlocked alongside the Spirit Pagoda inside Shin’s mind.

(Special version of Niwan Palace).

As the vessel’s Martial Arts were sealed, the Mentalism was fully awakened.

Shin was slightly taken aback when he took over the body as he became somewhat unfamiliar with it for not possessing it for quite a long time.

“Are you sure that you don’t want to test your new abilities first?” asked Shin as he tried to adjust himself, adapting to his body, which sounded a little weird.

“Heh! You should tell yourself about it,” responded Uno mockingly before adding. “I don’t need it. And you should know it better than anyone.”

Shin shrugged his shoulder as he stood up. It was at that moment that he noticed something strange. The foul stench coming from his body started to assault his nose, making it twitch uncomfortably.

“What have you done for being this stinky?” complained Shin as he swept his eyes around the room. He noticed that the Force of Nature filling the entire room was strangely high and pure.

Spreading his Spiritual Sense and activating his True Sight ocular technique, he instantly noticed the Gathering Array set up inside his room.

“What happened here?” he mumbled before ‘turning’ to Uno. “Hey, share your memory with me. Let me see what happened.”

“You try finding it yourself,” refused Uno as he went to sleep for real this time. “I need to rest and recover. I have pushed myself a little too much this time. I also have to keep an eye on the seed since it is left unattended for quite a while.”

Uno was about to sink deep in the Sea of Consciousness when Shin suddenly said. “I’m sorry.”

Uno paused for a moment, confused at the sudden apology. But he quickly realized what happened when Shin suddenly did that. It was not just because of what happened right now, but this apology also included that time when Shin erased everything from his memory, which also included his existence.

“Heh! You have always been a coward,” mocked Uno before his consciousness slowly ‘disappeared’. “Let’s talk about it next time.”

When Uno ‘left’, Shin swept his gaze the entire room before sighing. He then walked toward the bathroom for a shower. He was stinking a little too much that even himself could not withstand the smell.

At the same time, he snapped his fingers, turning off the Gathering Array set up within his room. It would be a waste if he would leave it active when he was not using the energy that it was supplying.

He was unsure why, but he seemed to be quite familiar with this array despite seeing it for the first time. He knew how to manipulate it naturally as if he was the one who had created it.

But he quickly threw that thought at the back of his head as he noticed David’s presence right outside his room. He then shook his head when he realized that David was sleeping while standing.

“Senior Brother never misses a chance. He still loves to slack off whenever he finds the opportunity for it.”

He then proceeded to the bathroom while a certain glint flashed in his eyes as he turned.
