42 The Young Wolfs Pilgrimage 1 (1/2)
Two nights later, the wind blew gently under the starlight, carrying white snowflakes and cherry blossoms through the air. The trees in the surrounding swayed gently back in forth as insects made noises within the swamplands. The first lady Isis of House Trilleck stood quietly at the still frozen lake on the tip of her toes, staring into the eyes of her son in a deep state of shock. She was totally speechless.
In front of the lady Isis dressed in skin-tight black armor, Jodye Trill was wearing snow-white robes with [Pharaoh's Law] equipped on his head, calmly explaining to his mother what he had experienced in the universal ripple. He didn't bother leaving out any details, as he had nothing to hide from this mother who was also both of his lifetimes' very first master. After he finished, his mother was looking at him silently for about 15 minutes, without any ripples in her eyes, driving Jodye nearly insane due to his impatience.
Of course, even if Jodye only had the patience of a five-year-old, he still wouldn't allow himself to act impulsively. His current mental strength was far too overbearing for such a slip-up. After these 15 minutes passed, his mother finally spoke.
”Little Joe ah…” lady Isis let out a heavy sigh. She didn't even have the energy left to marvel over the talent of this baby boy of hers, ”Have you comprehended anything? Can you use a force?”
”Hehe,” Jodye Trill rubbed his little nose and felt embarrassed. After he woke up from his second baptism of law forces, Jodye noticed those four concept bubbles from the bottom of the pool in his host space were now ever-present floating in his conscious mind. All he had to do was focus on them, and he felt them connect with the force genesis in his origin pool! ”I have four, but I can only use three!”
”Show me!” Lady Isis wore a cold countenance and hid her excitement as she demanded a demonstration. ”First release your aura, then absorb the force of heaven backed by your own origin energy, and then fuel your heavenly aura with your concept!”
”Okay ma, watch, ack!” Jodye's hand was popped by a magical fluctuation before he could even show his excitement, and instantly he switched his method of delivery, ”Master! This disciple will now demonstrate my ability!”
A silver aura burst out Jodye's body as the original phenomenon manifested in the air above the white-robed lad. Nine white spheres of light, the size of marbles, floated in the air like little star dots and connected with his aura. Following this, Jodye released his first concept, Eternal Stillness, the Everest! His atmosphere became steady like hundred thousand-year-old mountain, and 15 spheres of pink and blue light spheres the size of marbles manifested next to the 9 original lights. This made a total of 24 marble sized lights, which seem to group together into a star chart. If one were to look from afar, it would look like a small mountain.
Jodye's aura then changed into one that seemed mystical and vibrant, making him appear full of abundant life and energy. The 15 pink and blue spheres of light vanished in an instant, as 10 more white lights replaced them. Then, Jodye's aura changed once more to feel dark and deadly. The 10 white spheres vanished like before, as 10 dark violet spheres took their place. This left Jodye Trill pondering in silence as he had just discovered a problem.
He could only utilize one concept at a time! He found it impossible to even think about another while he focused on one, and this was with [Pharaoh's Law active]! However, before Jodye could ponder more on this, he heard his mother's excited voice.
”Divine Pharaoh! Joseph, this is absolutely amazing! These concepts, although they aren't very developed, I've never felt nascent concepts so deep and unfathomable. What exactly did you manage to comprehend, boy? This is much too fierce,” Isis Trilleck was suddenly hugging her son and flying and spinning around in the air, like an excited little girl.
Jodye was tickled and pleased with his own effort, as he had never seen his mother so excited and happy. He quite enjoyed this feeling of watching her world-ending smile light up this dark forest. Jodye then briefly told his mother what inspired his concepts. After all, he naturally couldn't tell her that the inspiration came mainly from his last life's theoretical knowledge.
”Okay Jodye, listen closely. The nascent level concept has four levels of completion. Namely: Initial, Basic, Advanced, and Perfected. Your serenity force comprehension is at the first and lowest tier, Yin Force!”Isis Trilleck resumed her stern voice and demeanor as she earnestly instructed her son. ”Your yin force will become serenity force when you evolve your concept into something else. This is a matter far in the future, and by then you will be approaching my level.”
These last few words shocked Jodye, as he was familiar with how terrifying his mother could be. How long would it take him to reach that state? He honestly didn't know, but he knew he definitely would reach it faster than his parents had! Otherwise, he would really consider himself a waste. Therefore he definitely would achieve this!
”However, your yin force nascent concept is already at the second level of this rank, Basic Nascent Concept. This very impressive! I'm am quite pleased, Joseph, you have made me proud. However, both your magic and voodoo force are merely at the Initial level. Your second goal should be to focus on upgrading these concepts to match with your serenity force,” said lady Isis in her trademark cold tone, devoid of any recognizable emotion. She reminded Jodye a little of Sylvester when she spoke like this. They also both used the power of serenity. Would this be a coincidence or would he end up with this character trait too if he cultivated his yin force into serenity?
”A moment, sensei! If that's only the second thing, then what's the first thing I should do?” internally Jodye Trill wondered what his mother would say if she knew he could also use initial level nascent calamity force. It's not that Jodye suddenly wanted to hide things from his mother, it was just that he genuinely didn't see how this information could benefit her.
However, keeping it secret could benefit Jodye in plenty of ways. Anyway, his mother would naturally come to know of it eventually. He was confident that the sleeping Sylvester would likely insist upon this route if he could. Thus, he shut his mouth about it.
”The first thing you will do is the breakthrough from the Freshman rank straight into the Sophomore rank! Or is there any reason to wait further?” responded Isis Trilleck indifferently. Jodye's sapphire eyes brightened as he shook his head fiercely.
Rank Up!!
He could finally rank up!
He had almost forgotten.
'Let's see that mutt's face when he wakes up to witness my accomplishment, hmph,' thought Jodye, which was accompanied by a snicker from Xavier.
”Sensei!” shouted Jodye Trill suddenly.
”Yes?”
”Why can I only use one concept at a time?” Jodye was actually somewhat worried about this point. It was far less intimidating if he couldn't combine the might of his forces! However, if he could, then his origin energy's strength would already surpass his astral might! How could he not desire such a result?
