411 Void Soul Constitution (1/2)

His lips slightly rose into a smile as he felt the spatial elements pulled towards Darlene. It was her first time absorbing the spatial element, but Leon knew she could do it before even teaching her the standard breathing technique.

”That's it. You got it. Now, gather them towards a single point at the center of your stomach.” Leon continued to instruct.

Darlene gathered the spatial elements to her stomach as she was told. After she was done, she asks, ”I did it. What do I do now, hubby?”

Leon seat himself directly behind Darlene and place one of his palms on her back, causing her to be startled for a moment before quickly recovering her calm.

”Remember these routes within your body,” Leon said.

Shortly after, he seeped his divine sense into Darlene's body and took control of her spatial elements with Divine Will before driving them through a particular set of circulation routes, completely several cycles.

”When you circulate the spatial elements like this, the spatial elements will gradually be refined into Spatial Energy with your spiritual imprint on it, making it belong solely to you. Once you complete this step, you need to store it. Do you know where it is?”

”Um, I think so, but I'm not too sure,” Darlene answered hesitantly.

She vaguely felt a part of her mind that wants to devour the newly refined strands of Spatial Energy, but she was not confident that it was the right place to send the few strands of Spatial Energy.

Nevertheless, Leon was not planning to go easy on her and said, ”If you know where it is, just send the Spatial Energy there.”

”Are you sure? Will there be any problem if I send it to the wrong place?” Darlene asks nervously with unease.

”Don't worry. Trust yourself and have some confidence. Even if something goes wrong, I am still here.”

”Okay.”

Leon's words were not reassuring as it was supposed to be, but the words ”I am still here” was enough to calm down Darlene's nervousness. This showed the amount of trust she had in him.

After Leon returned control of the Spatial Energy to Darlene, she began sending it towards the Black Hole within the deepest parts of her sea of consciousness.

When the energy entered within a specific range, it was immediately pulled and devoured by the Black Hole's attraction force. Despite that, Darlene did not lose track of the Spatial Energy strands. Her senses were still locked onto it.

She felt the strands of Spatial Energy dropping an abyss like a drop of water falling into the ocean as it stirred ripples and seemed to have awakened something dormant inside her on a deeper level.

There was no Spatial Seed inside of the Black Hole. There was only the soul core at the center, enclosed in crystallized energy of unfathomable depth. Other than that, there was nothing else.

The Spatial Energy ripple resulted from it landing on the wall of crystallized energy surrounding the soul core.

Rather than there being no Spatial Seed, it could be said that the Black Hole itself was most likely the Spatial Seed.

However...

'This is so strange. This is the first time I've seen a soul core being inside of an elemental seed. This world sure has all sorts of peculiarities.' Leon thought before he shortly paused.

'No, I can't really say that my elemental seeds are normal either, now that they have fused with soul core and that the Black Vortex, this subspace formed around it.'

Leon quietly observed the inner space of Darlene's Spatial Seed like a leech attached to her consciousness. Nevertheless, he could not observe for long before Darlene's consciousness left the inner space and returned to the outside of it.

She did not leave on her own accord—Rather, she was kicked out, and him along with her.

A surge of power exploded from within Darlene's body and shot to the sky as if connecting heaven and earth. Like something elusive and almighty acknowledging's Darlene's spatial law, Leon began to sense her cultivation.

Not only did he sense it, but he also felt it rising rapidly! In a few breaths, Darlene's cultivation broke the first step and advanced to the third step without any sign of slowing down!

4th Step Awakener!

5th Step Awakener!

6th Step Awakener!

It was like a powder keg going off. Darlene's cultivation just kept rising with explosive momentum. The few strands of Spatial Energy that landed on the crystallized energy wall within her Spatial Seed was like an ember falling into a sea of oil, setting everything aflame.
