Chapter 931: Chapter 455: Deep Meditation (Part 2)

These stone chambers are mainly cultivation and storage rooms, with a plethora of cultivated items from fungi to spirituality-filled herbal tubers, while the stored items are gemstones and precious metals.

Given Inanna’s personality, these should be freely accessible to her followers, as they are nothing more than snacks to her.

Unfortunately, these items can’t be collected like the Divine Crimson Gold generously given by All Spirits previously.

Li Ang walked through the stone chambers and eventually saw a room with light shining through, with the sound of water faintly audible and the subtle scent of spices emerging.

A bathroom or a washroom? In any case, let’s take a look first.

Li Ang approached the door and saw Diao.

This was a bathroom, the young girl wrapped only in a thin bath towel, her honey-gold skin forming a sharp contrast with the pure white towel, sitting cross-legged on a platform in the middle of the water, her back to Li Ang.

Li Ang was truly surprised; he hadn’t expected Diao to still be in the bathroom this late.

Although his footsteps upon entering were undisguised, Diao seemed oblivious to his presence, sitting there unmoving.

He thought of apologizing awkwardly at first, but as the young girl remained motionless, Li Ang hesitated.

Asleep?

That can’t be right, given Diao’s ability to reach the level of an Excellence Realm at such a young age, she must be able to perceive his arrival; she couldn’t possibly fall asleep halfway through a bath.

Releasing his perception, Li Ang immediately noticed the difference.

Around the young girl, spirits were exceedingly active, merely not summoned and formed by magic power, but rather moving around her with a lively rhythm.

She’s cultivating, Li Ang realized.

The stone platform beneath the young girl was constructed by her using Druid Magic, originally useless in the bathing pool.

The Gilded Grand Hall, the abode of the Earth Dragon supporting the world, its bathing pool was not an ordinary cleansing place. In ancient times, when the Power of Creation had not dispersed, even ordinary building materials possessed extraordinary power, not to mention the changes brought by Inanna’s life here and the force she radiated.

Though constructed as a bathhouse, it can now be regarded as a ritual site, possibly containing more power than some Sanctuaries of the later generations.

Though the Illusion Realm of All Spirits selectively presents, it still recreates what once existed with near-real authenticity.

Li Ang stood for a moment, certain that even if she had noticed him, Diao wouldn’t mind his presence, as she was immersed in a deep meditative state.

Li Ang had seen the Great Witch Priest and other Ancient Witches enter such a state before, with some even needing suspicious herbs to assist them, which he outright resisted.

However, Diao seemed to merely require a pure place like this due to her extraordinary talent, coordinating with All Spirits without needing material assistance to transform like this.

Amongst All Spirits, the young girl raised her arms, moving gracefully like a dance, following a certain rhythm.

Moonlight, akin to liquid, illuminated her sleek brown arms, creating a phantom-like illusion with her moving arms, starting to become indistinct.

This was a dance of spirit and magic power, causing an exceptional change in the Material World, like moonlight dust being swept up, her body began to transform.

Feathers grew from the ends of her elbows, expanding into wings, conjuring a breeze with her dance, as her bare feet trod upon the shallow water-submerged stone platform, splashing water was accompanied by silver scales covering her calves, her paws sometimes nimble like a beast, sharp-tipped, and sometimes transforming into light hooves like a Female Deer, tapping the stone board with crisp sounds.

No wonder she can transform so freely, Li Ang thought to himself.

The Secret Technique displayed on the panel showed Diao can perform a [Multiple Beast Form Assault], having previously shown the ability to continuously transform, but seeing this partial beast-like form, Li Ang better understood her capabilities.

Now he was more puzzled why this young girl was so insistent on himself.

In the moonlight dust, the young girl like a wild elf opened her eyes, her divine brown pupils shining with Spiritual Light, warm and bright like Jade, resonating with the mysterious power.

Her eyes glimpsed Li Ang, yet she didn’t stop her dance; she merely lifted off her bath towel.

Elegant like a beautiful young deer, fluttering like a vividly feathered bird, wild like a poised mountain cat, transcending mortal ethics, reaching the sensory extreme.

From her collarbone, white lines depicted Curse Runes over brown-gold hills, following the abdomen’s most splendid curve downwards.

"This body has long awaited the moment of the Great Witch’s ascension to the Transcendent Divine Realm, and I’ve waited too long for you to regain balance."

"I, I truly don’t understand why you and your kind insist on..."

"You’ll know eventually."

Diao was straightforward, bending to pick up the bath towel and wrap it around herself again.

Compared to the previous petty jealousy, she was evidently more excited now; the surging spirituality and magic power testified to this, yet she was rational to the point of seeming emotionless.

"I’ve come to realize, perhaps it’s not yet the time."

A beast-shaped spirit appeared beside the young girl, guarding her as she walked out of the bathroom, disappearing into the dark hallway.

"These Ancient Witches truly..."

Li Ang rubbed his head vigorously; they couldn’t possibly know some of his extreme preferences, but rather, this tribe itself was simply unconventional, rebellious.

Uh, and there’s no established canon, they’re even heirs to some of the earliest classics.

Returning to the stone chamber bed, Li Ang pondered past events until dawn, still unable to make sense of it all.

When daylight fell upon the Earth, Zosia arrived again.

Li Ang increasingly felt this Primordial Being was the type obsessed with research, selecting a target and focusing entirely on it, not stopping until a phase is complete.

He could understand the feeling, having been that way on Earth, only objective reality wouldn’t allow him to be like that all the time, while Primordial Beings, their innate powerful abilities enable them to do as they please.

"A night has passed, your essence should also be accumulated now." Seeing Inanna, Zosia instantly said, his companion Freyia’s gaze filled with meaning as she studied the Earth Dragon and Li Ang.

"It’s ready."

Inanna simply stepped forward, grabbing the conglomerated Primordial Power on the Earth’s pillar, handing the orb brimming with Dragon and Power of Earth to Zosia.

The Star of Dawn contentedly stored it within the Transcendent Treasure Vault, raising his chin confidently, "It shouldn’t take long to gather the essence of various dragons; you can visit my Holy Sanctuary in advance."

He was confident, having no doubts about collecting the Essence of the Dragon God.

"Visit?"

Li Ang and the two women beside him glanced at each other; this could likely be the next step of the Illusion Realm.

"Yes, the moment of forming the final servant I’ve chosen requires your witness, as they’re also your offspring, and I did it according to your suggestions."

I take back what I said earlier, Li Ang thought, this person isn’t confident, but excessively arrogant.

If such a temperament is manageable in a Primordial Being, what might Esauo Shalem be like?

"We will go," said Inanna.

"Then no delay, let’s set off immediately."

Zosia took a step and strode out of the Gilded Grand Hall, followed by Li Ang and the two women.

As they ascended to the sky, Li Ang was stunned by the Ancient World presented by All Spirits. Perhaps because All Spirits were just part of Nebis and the world had shattered, they could not fully recreate the Ancient World.

Thus, it adopted an abstract form—the entire world divided into the four major domains of earth, fire, water, and wind, the body and visage of the Great Spirit displayed completely, the world where all beings lived, just a tiny reflection upon their gigantic bodies.
