Chapter 1001 Soul Improvement
Seeing Faelyn was still soundly asleep in Leon"s arms, he had more time to ponder about the Astral Soul Realm.
Leon didn"t doubt that he had a much more fruitful gain on the second trip to the Astral Soul Realm. But no matter how much his soul had improved, he still couldn"t resist the realm guardian"s powerful will.
"The realm guardian was incredibly stronger in the first experience. However, I was certain that I had grown much stronger during the second experience. Even so, I was still powerless against the realm guardian…"
Leon mused with a frown.
Despite his improvement, Leon didn"t get a chance to resist the realm guardian at all.
"The realm guardian"s soul power completely suppressed me like it was… a higher level of existence," Leon thought.
It was like a mortal trying to resist the power of a cultivator in the Divine Realm; it was utterly hopeless and futile.
While thinking back on his second experience in the Astral Soul Realm, Leon recalled the feeling of lighting up a star when he was absorbing the pure soul energy.
"Although it was just a vague feeling, I wonder what would have happened if I had lit up that star completely... Would it be a sign of my soul advancing to a higher realm? Or my existence upgrading to a higher level?"
Leon mused.
Regardless of the truth, the second experience in the Astral Soul Realm had been a fruitful harvest. He made large improvements in his soul and even learned more about the Astral Soul Realm.
Even so, Leon wasn"t satisfied; he wanted to learn more.
"I look forward to my next trip," Leon thought.
Shortly after, Leon s.h.i.+fted his focus to his soul improvement. He was pleasantly surprised by his gain immediately.
Although Leon lacked information to cla.s.sify his soul level, he could tell how much his soul had grown from the second experience in the Astral Soul Realm.
"As expected, my harvest this time around is far greater than the first time," Leon thought.
His soul power had grown almost twofold. He could now divide his consciousness to operate up to four parallel thoughts at 100% efficiency.
If Leon wanted, he could comprehend a single law with 400% efficiency by concentrating his complete consciousness on it.
Alternatively, he could also comprehend four different laws at 100% efficiency.
Furthermore, it wasn"t limited to laws; it could be anything.
Leon designated his three divine consciousnesses into comprehending alchemy, runes, and the Destruction Law and used his last divine consciousness to check the rest of his improvement.
The Wood Law had risen to the Preliminary Accession-stage Transcendent Realm without surprise, thanks to his three-day dual cultivation with Faelyn.
On the other hand, Faelyn"s awakening cultivation didn"t receive any benefit from their three-day dual cultivation.
However, her untrained body had undergone a minor transformation due to the circulation of yang essence and wood energy during the three-day dual cultivation.
At that moment, her elvish body had a stronger wood affinity than it did three days ago.
It was one step closer to resembling the Wood Spirit Body that the Wood Spirit Race was said to possess in the primordial era.
Leon could understand how, but he couldn"t understand why it happened.
However, it was a good change, nonetheless. It would allow Faelyn to reap greater benefits from cultivating the Heavenly Fairy G.o.d Scripture.
Although Faelyn"s body was still weak without a body forging method, she didn"t need any other cultivation method besides the Heavenly Fairy G.o.d Scripture.
It was an overall balanced cultivation technique that would also enhance Faelyn"s physique as she advanced through the stages of the technique.
Wood Spirit Body was just the start.
Even though the natural energy defenses of a Fairy King Body and Fairy G.o.d Physique couldn"t compare to body cultivators of the same realm, they didn"t fall too far off.
"Uwh…" Faelyn softly groaned.
She adjusted her sleeping position and rubbed her cheeks against Leon"s chest comfortably without opening her eyes.
However, Leon knew that Faelyn had already woken up.
"How are you feeling?"
Leon softly asked with a warm smile, but he didn"t receive a response even after waiting for a few breaths. His lips quickly curled with amus.e.m.e.nt.
"Pretending to be asleep, huh? Are you feeling the shame and embarra.s.sment from what you did in the past three days now?"
Shortly after Leon asked, he felt Faelyn"s cheeks growing hot on his chest.
"Who knew that you could be so wild?" Leon teased.
Faelyn"s face flushed with a deeper shade of red before she couldn"t endure the embarra.s.sment any further. She ended her pretend-sleep and softly hammered Leon"s chest with annoyance.
"So hateful!" Faelyn pouted grudgingly with a red face.
"Hahaha, what"s there to be shy about? In any case, we have already spent three days going at it together. What haven"t we seen of each other during this period?"
Leon softly chuckled with a lackadaisical att.i.tude.
Shortly after, Leon suddenly pulled Faelyn closer and stole her lips with a forceful kiss.
"Mm…"
Faelyn slightly struggled before the familiar feeling came rus.h.i.+ng back into her body and was.h.i.+ng away her shyness.
Soon, her resistance against Leon"s kiss dropped before she started fighting back with her tongue, turning the forceful kiss into a pa.s.sionate one.
After some time, their lips finally separated.
However, Faelyn was no longer nervous and shy as she was before. She rested her head on Leon"s chest and tightened her arms around his body with a content smile, feeling blessed and relaxed.
If she could, she didn"t mind staying like that forever.
"Feeling calm now?" Leon asked with a smile. "It"s time to get up."
"No, I want to stay like this for a bit longer," Faelyn shook her head and whined.
Despite Faelyn"s wish, Leon raised his upper body and picked her up with both hands under the armpits like a baby.
Then, he got up and placed her on her feet, causing her to grumble slightly.
However, she couldn"t put any strength into her legs after Leon released her. As such, she quickly fell back onto the broken white bed.
"Ah!" Faelyn gave a startled cry due to the fall.
Shortly after, Leon felt a warm breath on his little brother before it grew and poked Faelyn in the cheeks strong enough to turn her head.
Faelyn"s eyes widened at once, feeling appalled.
"Haven"t we done it enough? Why is it s-so big again?!" Faelyn cried.
"This… it"s a natural reaction…"
Leon scratched his head wryly with distress.
