Chapter 53 - Spiritual Dimension
"On your bodies, I can vaguely perceive tremendous destines. Such destines that even greatly shock me to my core. Talents like you can\'t afford to be wasted away. So I will help aid on your first step."
The ghost explained in a resolute tone. With his mind finally made up, he had no more hesitation. His hands then begin to dig into his ghostly body, seemingly pulling something out.
And at this time, Cain and Kali tossed a look between each other. They both simultaneously mutter in a puzzling tone,
"Destines?"
When Kali recalls everything she was taught, nothing significant about destiny came up.
The most her grandmother taught was how a cultivator\'s destiny is one of the mysterious abilities a person is born with. There were many deciding factors that were used to attempt to determine one destiny.
And even then, those methods cannot be said to be a hundred percent accurate.
Beyond this superficial information, Kali had no other thoughts on the so-called destiny of a Martial cultivator.
Moreover, Kali didn\'t really care enough to think too deeply about it. Her fate was quite literally permanently reversed all in a day. She considers something like destiny fleeting at best if it could be changed in just a snap.
As for Cain, he remarked destiny in the same tier as fate. Both were mysterious terms that are certainly hard to define in simple words.
Furthermore, both can heavily play a part in people\'s life.
Whether or not this was a good thing, Cain couldn\'t say for sure. But he is certainly sure to always keep his guard about mysterious abilities like fate or destiny.
Within the short moment Cain and Kali contemplated to themselves, the ghost had pulled out two bright color beads.
The light from the beads brightly twinkled even among the boundless blue space, attracting Cain and Kali\'s attention over to it.
"In my hands are two peak quality 1st class Spiritual Beads. This will tremendously help with forming the energy link. All you need to do is pull the energy from here and absorb it into your Spirit Core."
The ghost explained while tossing the Spiritual Beads towards Cain and Kali.
And though the sibling duo was still curious about that \'tremendous destiny\' comment, they had no real reason to refuse this generous offering.
In that instance, Cain and Kali caught the Spiritual Beads and promptly sat cross-legged.
Then, they began to quickly pull out the pure Spirit Energy from the bead, transferring it directly through internal bodies towards their Spirit Cores.
An incomparably refreshing sensation calmed Cain and Kali\'s minds as they absorbed the Spiritual Bead.
Any and all other concerning thoughts quickly cleared away. Slowly, their minds fell into a completely serene state.
Cain wasn\'t entirely sure what was happening. But he didn\'t put any thought into it. He was too immersed in the incredible mental effects of absorbing Spiritual Energy.
Time seemed to slow to a crawl. From seconds to minutes to hours, Cain didn\'t know how much time had passed.
It wasn\'t until what seemed like hours that Cain finally saw something within his mental psyche.
A bright rainbow color line split across the eternal darkness of his mental psyche, looking like a radiant stream from the heavens.
In Cain\'s completely serene state, his senses were sharp to a near-perfected degree. He focused all of his perception on this rainbow color line, comprehending the mysterious properties behind it.
The energy, the sensation behind this rainbow color line, Cain immediately recognized what it was.
\'This isn\'t just regular Spirit Energy; it\'s Spirit Energy of the highest order! Even compared to the ghost\'s Spirit Energy, it is completely superior in every way. This… .it\'s almost like the origin of all Spirit Energy. No doubt, this has to be my connection to the Spiritual Dimension.\'
As Cain came down this enlightening road, he felt his senses shift.
Now he didn\'t feel like he was in the boundless blue space or even the Heaven Sky Planet.
He truly felt like he was only a thin line away from entering a whole new world. All Cain needed to do was take that final push.
Calming and adjusting himself to his most focused state, Cain slowly pushed forward.
At this time, his soul energy began to stimulate on its own.
Whenever Cain would achieve a breakthrough in cultivation, his soul energy would always connect to his mental psyche, allowing to him easily shattered the mental blocks that Qi Energy gives out.
And this exact same phenomenon was occurring right now.
Like it was taking a simple step forward, Cain easily broke right through the first Spiritual Energy mental block!
\'Ka-Cha!\'
A resounding shattered violently shook Cain\'s mind and body.
At that moment, Cain truly entered into the Spiritual Dimension!
And upon arriving, Cain felt his breathing hitched. He was in complete and total awe at the magical scenery laid out before him.
In the Spiritual Dimension, everything looked utterly perfect. Above everything, what Cain assumed to be the sky, it was all a brilliant rainbow radiance!
Just from gazing upon it, Cain felt as if he was looking into the mysteries of the world itself. It was all so incredibly unfathomable, almost like a true ethereal sensation.
Below the skies was an equally breathtaking landscape.
Divine mountains floated majestically in the air, expanding out for thousands of miles. And on these mountains were beautiful starry rivers that seemed to have no end.
\'Truly worthy of its name of being the Spiritual Dimension, it\'s all just so grand. And this energy….I can feel my soul greatly increasing as well!\' Cain was feeling a multitude of emotions.
Curiosity, excitement, awe, and even slight reverence. All of these emotions clashed inside Cain\'s mind, nearly confusing him.
But instead of getting drowned in confusion, Cain forcefully pushed down these emotions. He subconsciously gripped his fists, not even realizing he had a new type of body while being in the Spiritual Dimension.
All Cain focused on was his soul and spirit energy increasing.
In just a few breaths of time, Cain\'s soul and Spirit Core strengthened at sonic speed.
Cain nearly felt as if he was going to reach a new boundary in both powers. However, before he even got close to that border, everything abruptly stopped.
Cain experienced a tremendous whiplash at that moment. One second he was in the Spiritual Dimension, and in the next, everything shattered before his eyes.
A sharp pain struck Cain\'s mind, forcing him to fling his eyes open.
"Nng!....That was….something."
No matter his pain tolerance, Cain couldn\'t suppress groaning from that abrupt mind pain. His eyes began to quickly readjust to the boundless blue space as he rubbed his head.
"No kidding something. But, how come you woke up later than me?" Kali\'s voice sounded slightly weary.
She, too, experienced a sharp, sudden pain before getting forcefully ejected out from the Spiritual Dimension. But even among the pain, she was still aware enough to know that Cai took a full forty seconds after her to wake up.
Even though she didn\'t want to think about it, she couldn\'t stop herself from comparing her results to him.
And once again, it seems like Cain has better talent.
Kali wasn\'t sure what to think about this, nor did she want to deeply contemplate it. She forced down this thought as soon as she felt something odd from thinking about it.
"You-you two….that Spiritual pressure!"
At this time, the ghost finally spoke up. His voice was of complete awe and surprise, not even daring to believe what he just witnessed.
Cain and Kali wearily looked over at the ghost. Even under their slightly groggy state, the sibling duo could tell they did something amazing once again just from his reaction.
"To think, on your very first try, you want beyond all reasonable expectations. Without even any trouble, you successfully entered right into the Spiritual Dimension!"
This only made Cain and Kali raise their brows.
As she finally came to, Kali curiously tilted her head, asking, "Wasn\'t that what we supposed to do?"
The ghost could only sigh at that question. He quickly calmed himself and then explained,
"Normal or even talented World Spirit Force Master can only create the energy link to the Spiritual Dimension, not explore it. Only when one reaches the Royal Class level could they go beyond simply pulling Spirit Energy and enter the Spiritual Dimension for a short amount of time. With what you two achieve, you can pull far more Spirit Energy than any other World Spirit Force Master within these starting Class levels. Your rate of advancement simply can\'t be compared. And I fear it will only grow in the future."
When taking in this news, Cain and Kali had no significant reactions. At this point, the sibling duo only gave a casual shrug.
After everything they experienced so far, performing impossible feats seems like the norm for them. At this point, Cain and Kali were simply numb to it.
Although, what they won\'t get over is the incredible rush of seeing people\'s bewildered expression over their extraordinary talent.
For prideful Dragons like Cain and Kali, this was another joy that fuels their determination to only become stronger to shock even more experts.
Shaking their heads and moving past this point, Cain suddenly asked, "So if it\'s like this, I\'ll assume that when our comprehension of one class level reaches its peak, we gathered enough energy and our body is strong enough, we can advance?"
"Yes. You\'re completely right." The ghost robotically nodded.
He then went silent for only a moment before asking, "You two, if it\'s no trouble, can I request something from you? I\'m sure I can make my request entirely worth your while."
