Chapter 1131: Jade Harmony Flute Secured

’Conditions to birth new spirits...’ Vaan frowned in thought.

Spirits were miraculous beings born between heaven and earth. Generally, their birth only occurred in areas with rich elemental energies. Moreover, it could take hundreds of years for a single instance to occur.

For higher-level spirits, their birth would take much longer.

With such an infrequent occurrence, the growth of the Spirits Path would be incredibly slow, taking eons for any significant progress.

Naturally, Vaan found that unacceptable.

Furthermore, if each bodily cell were its own independent spiritual world, not only would the power of elements be divided, but the power of his spirits also wouldn’t be unified, sacrificing much potential.

’The spiritual worlds of each microcosm cell need to be connected to form a single, universally large spiritual world. Only this way, the power of elements can become incredibly rich and concentrated, allowing the nurturing and birth of higher-level spirits...’ Vaan thought.

However, he also realized a problem.

Although his astral cells were all connected, it wasn’t in the same sense that was required for a unified Spirit Realm.

For example, to transfer power from Cell A to Cell D, it would have to pass through Cell B and Cell C; Cell A couldn’t send to Cell D directly, let alone all other cells, and vice versa.

’To create a unified Spirit Realm that allows me to draw its entire power from any given point...’ Vaan pondered.

No matter how he looked at the problem, he realized it couldn’t be resolved through ordinary evolution. His body would have to transcend its original human biological construct.

In fact, he had already transcended the original human biological construct to some extent when he transformed his cells into astral cells, forging the Astral God Divine Body. Even if he retained a human appearance, he was already different on a cellular level.

However, to create a unified Spiritual Heaven, he would have to go one step further, transforming his inner structure into a vast space that gathered and connected all the astral essences in his astral cells.

In other words, this vast space was the core and medium, while each astral cell became a gateway leading to it.

’But how can I transform my inner structure into a vast and boundless Spiritual Heaven without impacting my source of life?’ Vaan wondered.

After a moment, the Heaven-Swallowing Space came to mind.

Although this Heaven-Swallowing Space was born from the Heaven-Swallowing Physique and was considered a part of his body, it existed in a different subspace. Miraculously, any point of the body could become the entry point to this ever-growing space.

’Perhaps... I can strengthen the connection between the Heaven-Swallowing Space, integrating them and making the Heaven-Swallowing Space the core of my Spiritual Heaven...’

When Vaan thought of this idea and calculated its feasibility, he couldn’t help but marvel at how smoothly the process would seem, theoretically.

Without the existence of the Heaven-Swallowing Space and the establishment of the Astral God Divine Body, forging the Spiritual Body Path would have been much more difficult. Others might not even know where to begin.

However, it was precisely because Vaan possessed them that everything just seemed to fall into place.

’As I initially thought, the Body Path and Spirits Path are highly compatible, making the Spiritual Body Path possible,’ Vaan acknowledged pleasantly.

Even now, the Heaven-Swallowing Space was constantly expanding by absorbing the mana in the surrounding environment.

If he could truly make the Heaven-Swallowing Space the core of his Spiritual Heaven, greatly enhancing its physical connection, its absorption rate for expanding would also improve significantly. 𝖗åΝỘᛒΕȘ

’But to integrate the Heaven-Swallowing Space into my body... Perhaps the Soul Path will grant me better insights into the solution once I officially initiate Soul Master Cultivation,’ Vaan thought.

The Spiritual Body Path was still somewhat distant. Thus, there was no need to tackle the challenge now.

After all, he still needed to refine the Spirits Path and initiate the Soul Path.

As for the Magical Energy Path and Soul Law Path, these goals were even more distant. Without the success of the Spiritual Body Path, the Magical Energy Path shouldn’t even be considered.

Vaan knew that in order to control a powerful energy, an equally powerful vessel was needed to contain it.

Right now, his priority was to sort out the Spirits Path, then initiate the Soul Path.

After Vaan felt like he had accumulated enough knowledge from the Divine Arts Depository, he left, returning to the Outer Palace’s Whispering Pearl City in the Mermen Domain. Thanks to Galevyr’s help, he saved a lot of travel time.

Upon his return, countless gazes of respect and admiration followed him. He was no longer an unknown person of little status and feat. He was a True Sage who had enlightened countless disciples.

Unless they had a blood feud, no being or faction would take the initiative to offend, let alone oppress, him.

Nevertheless, True God Galevyr did not enter the city with Vaan, but hid his true self in the background, protecting him in secret. Otherwise, countless disciples would stiffen with fear and dread.

With a True God as a bodyguard, who would still dare to offend and oppress him?

That said, Galevyr had his own considerations.

If someone truly had the courage to make a move against Vaan, they wouldn’t just be his enemy; they would be the enemy of the entire mermen race.

"I want this Jade Harmony Flute. Are you willing to sell it to me?" Vaan asked with a meaningful smile after returning to the instrument store he had previously visited.

The store owner glanced at Vaan blankly for a moment before he shivered with a horrified expression, knowing Vaan’s status compared to weeks ago was akin to day and night.

"Lord Vaan surely jests. How can this Humble Servant refuse to sell something you fancy? Let me wrap it up for you," the instrument store owner replied subserviently with clasped hands, eager to serve.

A high-quality divine instrument like the Jade Harmony Flute naturally had its own protective case.

Once the Jade Harmony Flute was hastily yet respectfully returned to Vaan in a beautiful green case, he casually swiped his card, incurring the 10,000 CP reduction, and took the divine instrument away with a sigh.

Within a matter of weeks, something he couldn’t afford had become cheap beyond belief.

Alas, it was too easy for him to accumulate wealth.
