This isn't just a Spirit Pond, its more than that

Talion walked out the door and Anna followed. The had arrived at the restaurant but before they could enter, a 7-foot tall bouncer blocked their way as he asked them to show their identity card. Talion showed his Black card and the bouncer immediately turned polite as he called a beautiful employee to guide them toward their seats.

When they entered the Restaurant, Talion was shocked at how exquisite it was. The restaurant had 4 floors, each corresponding on how important their guests were, however, all of them had one same perk, it was the stage where people would sing or perform something albeit a different view the higher floor you go.

Moments after they entered, they suddenly became the limelight because of Anna being very polite to him but mainly because of Silvana's Otherworldy beauty. Both of them seemed like a perfect couple as they were guided to their seats in the VIP room upstairs.

People kept eating at the same time chattering about them. Talion paid it no mind but Silvana not used to being in the limelight, looked down as she kept blushing and not wanting to look at the people. Talion saw this as he chuckled before whispering in her ear. "Is it the first time being in the limelight?"

She did not reply and just nodded her head slowly. Talion laughed and said no more. Later on, they had arrived at their seat on the highest floor and a female waitress was waiting at the table, holding 2 Tablets probably as a menu.

As they sat down, the waitress politely handed them the tablets as she said. "The tablets contain every full course menu that pre-designed and available and of course if Sir doesn't like the Full course menu, you can also order your own-made full course. You won't need to worry about ordering your food as all of our Chefs are considered World Class in their counties and has mastered many recipes both native and foreign."

He looked at the Menu and saw multitudes of Full course menu, after a while, Talion saw a Full course meal that peaks in spiciness as he said. "I'll have this "El Curso Completo Del Diablo" together with Moët Impérial." He then looked at Silvana had a confused because she does not understand the words in the tablet as he told the waitress. "Please wait for a while, my partner here does not understand the Chinese language, I'll have to translate it for her."

The waitress said. "We can change the language in the tablet to her preference." but Talion softly said, "Her language isn't accepted as an official language." before walking over at the side of Silvana before he asked in the Celestial Language. "What full course menu do you like? Pick any one of it that looks nice."

After a while of concentrated thinking, while pouting that made her look very cute, she told him while pointing at a certain dish called "Norweigian Special". "I'll take this one." He nodded as he pets her head and told the waitress who was confused because of their language and at the same time amused at the reaction of the beautiful girl. "She said that she would like the Scandinavian Special."

She wrote down their orders as she bowed down and excused herself. More than a minute later, Talion noticed a woman and 3 other guys holding instruments walked to the stage and the 3 men had started playing their instruments then the woman started singing.

Talion asked her a question. "Silvana, what do you think of the mortal world as of now?" Silvana looked warmer now unlike before as she replied. "The mortal world is not as special as Heaven but It is more cultured than Heaven."

Time slowly passed. They had eaten their food and Silvana was amazed at the combination of taste contained in her food. But in the middle of their dinner, Anna walked inside the room as she sat at the table and a waiter had arrived carrying another set of full course meals. Silvana pouted when she saw the woman eating at the table and didn't say anything. Talion chuckled at her expression and Anna asked about Silvana and kept trying many different kinds of approaches trying to start a conversation with Talion, he said that Silvana is a good friend of his as he replied at each of her tries but still kept their conversation at the minimal level trying not to give her a chance to do something.

Minutes later, they had finished their dinner and bid farewell to Anna as they walked to their Room. Anna felt like Talion was too dense and she asked a certain person to investigate the woman. While Talion and Silvana were walking to the Suite, She pouted as she asked. "Who was that woman and why does she keep trying so hard to get to you?"

"Her name is Anna and she is the manager of the hotel. As for why she tries so hard, I don't really know about it." Talion sighed at her attempts but it wasn't that he is dense or anything it's just that he wants to go back to Heaven Awaken World and rebuild his empire. Silvana felt the sadness in his sighed so she said nothing more.

When they arrived in the room, Talion turned serious as he said. "We need to conquer this world so we can easily conquer the Legacy land after the Heaven Awaken World senses this world. But the first step is building a superpower, the best place to build a superpower is in a game called God's Domain." Silvana was shocked at his knowledge as she asked. "Who are you, why do you know the Heaven Awaken world and the Legacy land?" He smiled as he mysteriously told her. "Let's just say I am a fallen prince. Let us go to that cliff."

He asked Silvana to lead the way as she jumped in the air and flew toward a mountain, Talion followed. Minutes later he arrived at a cliff 3 kilometers away from the city. He used his divine sense technique and used it on the cliff.

There was indeed a cave on it. He went deeper and saw a sping like what she said. He followed the opposite side where the spring was flowing but before he knew it his Divine Sense was suddenly cut off causing him to cough blood. He immediately asked Silvana. "Have you noticed something near the spring?" but she replied. "I have not noticed anything peculiar in the spring."

He told her. "I tried to follow the place where the spring started to flow but even before I knew it my connection with my Divine sense was suddenly cut." Silvana was shocked because she knew the power of his Divine sense like how it had subdued her. "Let's investigate the place because a spiritual pool won't suddenly happen without an external object or natural treasure to attract spiritual energy. Spiritual Water would never occur without sufficient density and abundance of Spirit Qi."

He flew toward the cave as he waved his hand and the rocks blocking the cave flew to every direction. He entered the cave and Silvana followed. They had soon arrived at the pool, Talion felt abundant Spirit Qi due to the Spiritual Pool lying close.

He dipped his hand in the pool to feel the concentration of Spirit Qi, he thought that it was at a passable grade as he used his divine sense to get a single drop for him to drink, he put the drop in his mouth and felt that a portion of his spirit qi was immediately replenished and that the potency of a bottle of A-class nutrient fluid was not even at a hundredth of the single drop of Spiritual Water after this he then followed the path where his Divine Sense went.

The higher they went the narrower the path, this forced him to widen the path, and rocks fall as they created ripples on the Spiritual Water. They continued to walk for around 3 kilometers until Silvana felt an aura of death looming around her. Talion upon seeing this gritted his teeth as he ordered her to retreat.

Talion continued to move onward until he saw a light and soon he was outside the cave but he was near the peak of the mountain where there was a lake where the water had flowed from and there island in the middle of the lake with floating rocks that lined toward the island. The island had standing rocks with runes and encryptions on it. He looked at the surroundings and found that the whole peak was covered with layers of both Qi Gathering array and Heaven Concealing Array.

"No Wonder I cannot use Divine Sense here. A Heaven Concealing Array is put in place here." He concluded that an Expert from Heaven Awaken World had once visited this planet as both of these arrays only usable within the Heaven Awaken Universe.

He walked over to the Island and when he saw the runes and encryptions on it. Talion immediately knew that it was an array but it didn't have an energy source slot that most arrays have, it needed a person to power it up using their own spirit qi. Luckily he had broken through stage 1 and his Dantain can contain at least double of Spirit Qi of what his Dantian could contain back when he first cultivated to stage 1 many many years ago.

The second he filled the array with Spirit Qi, it was as if it been sleeping beforehand as it devoured his Spirit Qi like a hungry wolf. Talion cursed at the rate that the array is draining his Spirit Qi, he used his Divine sense and got a handful of Spiritual water and pour it on his mouth, replenishing his almost depleted Spirit Qi.

Talion repeated this process until the Array was filled to the brim. "Fuck! The energy that I have imbued was more than enough to drain a Saint Realm cultivator dry." He cursed and suddenly the array glowed as it created more than a dozen magic circles and soon it had created a portal.

"I thought I was powering up a Spirit Gathering Array but I was a gateway array instead?" Talion was shocked for a while before he regained his composure. The thought that the other side of the portal could be dangerous so he sat down and cultivated for a while. Then a series of pressure outbreaks were noticed by Silvana, she thought that Talion was battling someone.

Stage 2

Stage 3

Stage 4

Stage 4-3

After he meditated and broke through a couple of stages due to the abundant Spirit Qi in here and because of his absorption of Spirit Qi is at unbelievable levels and due to the powerr contain in the blood of their race his requirements for increasing his stages is higher than most people caused him to absorb most of the Spirit Qi causing it to temporarily become thinner.

Cultivators on Heaven Awaken World upon reaching Stage 4 can learn how to fly depending on their mastery over spirit qi, some geniuses, however, can utilize flight even before they reached rank 4.

Talion back then had even flown at rank 1 but it was mostly due to his extreme control over Spirit Qi, Using the least spirit qi while utilizing the maximum capabilities of the Spirit Qi.

Talion looked at the portal and felt that his intuition who would always remind him of danger stayed silent as well as his gut feeling tells him that there lie unimaginable benefits in entering the portal but he cannot wrap his head around the fact that Silvana had the aura of death looming over her when she was near the peak.

Talion steeled his heart as he walked over the portal, he gasped some air and closed his eyes before entering. Moments later, he expected that he would be transported to someplace terrifying but when he opened his eyes he still saw beautiful surroundings but it had a monochrome skies, he looked at the surroundings and he was still in an island in the center of the lake but when he felt the space he immediately turned excited as he knew that this place is a priceless treasure even back home in the empire. It was a separate space, an independent world of its own.

He immediately used his Divine sense as he hoped to find the World Core and bind it to himself but after a while, he still hasn't found the World core but he instead found a place where his Divine Sense could not enter. He went there with the utmost care, even if he had used Divine Sense he still needed to be careful because there might be traps that have an anti detection rune on it.

He arrived at the place where his Divine Sense couldn't even pass through, it was a Palace. Talion slowly walked toward the palace and felt Ancientness from the Palace as he slowly grows near. He soon arrived at the palace doors, he touched them as it slowly opened and revealed a glorious hall that still had ghost remnants of both Generals and Kings drinking mead and wine even when the door suddenly opened they didn't care one bit as they continued to drink and laugh.

Talion slowly walked through the hall because when he opened the door, he felt something calling him at the end of the hall. He kept walking down the hall and he looked at the ghost's face and felt that it was familiar, he racked his brains out and finally, he remembered that this was the Famous General of their Bloody Heavens Empire, A person that was of the same generation of his Ancestor. The more he walked the more he saw familiar faces, each of those faces had legends of their own.

When finally arrived at the end of the hall, there was a ghost seated on the Blood-Red throne that looked at him while smiling but when Talion saw this man, he immediately bowed down and clasped his hands "Descendant Talion Lux greets the Ancestor."

But the Ghost in the bloody throne looked at him for a while as it slowly said. "You appearing here with low cultivation must have meant that our empire that I had painstakingly built has already fallen?" Talion wept as he told the ghost. "Yes, It was the Shattering Heavens Sect and Moon God Empire that destroyed our Bloody Soul Empire."

The ghost was silent for a while before it sighed. "Those arrogant pricks wouldn't even have the chance to rise up if it weren't for the fact that we were called to participate in the great war. Their Sect master at that time was too weak to participate in the war. He was at Celestial Lord at that time when the drafting of soldiers begun and luckily for him the minimum cultivation rank was at Celestial King while I just had broken through the Celestial King rank. If he too had participate in the war, our Empire would've easily eaten their sect."

"The Moon God Empire was known for being the only empire that does not give help to others nor receive help from others. Boy, how did those Sect idiots convince the Moon God Empire?"

"Those Sect bastards proposed marrying one of his daughters to the Emperor but the Moon God Empire first refused this forced the sect master to give up one the Eternal Light Sword. The Emperor still refused until the Sect Master finally told him that his Daughter had an unique constitution called Heavenly Body of Ice and Sword." Talion said this as he further explained the situation.

"That constitution? It seems that the Queen of Luck isn't beside us. If only the Ultimate Constitution of our race would appear once more, we wouldn't be in this precarious situation."

"Ancestor, do you mean the Chaotic Blood soul Constitution?"

"Indeed, That Constitution would appear once every Dozen millennia."

After saying this, the ghost stood up and asked Talion to follow. Talion followed the ghost to a wall then suddenly the wall split opened as it revealed a set of stairs that leads to the top. After they arrive at the top, Talion a single orb floating at the center and a silver stele on each side.

"The World Core!" Talion screamed in his heart as he shivered in excitement. The Ghost chuckled as if he read his mind as he said. "Ho Ho, The core can wait, there are more things we need to talk about."

The Ghost walked toward the eastern stele and when he arrived, he chanted something that unlocked the stele while it split open and a book floated toward the ghost before he continued on to another stele and repeated the process, each stele had a book. After he collected the books from each of the corners, spiritual energy around him suddenly turned dense as he whipped out a golden book from his clothes and chanted a mantra.

The 5 books floated as the 4 of them revolved around the golden book before turning into golden essence and merged into the book. The book floated as it returned toward the ghost's hand as the latter said. "Talion, This world will be detected by the Heaven Awaken World in about 30 years. I will give you this Cultivation Technique for you to quickly grow strong when you enter the legacy land."

"The Cultivation Technique consists of 5 Legacies each having 9 stages. The cultivation technique I have told you is the combination of the legacies, The Five Qi Origin Technique. The Cultivation method has 10 stages, each stage is a dozen times stronger than the last."

"The Legacies are The Legacy of Fire, The Legacy of Water, The Legacy of Wood, The Legacy of Gold, and the Legacy of Earth."

"Anyone can cultivate a Legacy and Cultivating another requires Talent but Cultivating the third and fourth wouldn't suffice with just talent alone. You can cultivate the Legacies up to the 3rd stage in this mortal world.

He stretched his arm toward the World Core as it flew toward him at high speed and landed on his hand. "I will also give you another gift as both meeting and departing gift. This Separate Space is my last gift to you. I have already placed a 16-Fold Qi Gathering Array and 8-Fold Qi Purifier. The Arrays will fully activate the moment you step foot into the Legacy Land.

He gave the World Core to Talion and when the core left his hands, he as well as the entire palace and it's inhabitants turned into white particles that slowly ascended to heaven. "I will leave the Burning Blood Empire in your hands. Remember Talion, our empire fell once but never let it happen twice."

A tear slid through his eyes as he became determined and resolute to build the Empire once more. He bit his thumb and dripped his blood unto the World Core, blood continues to drop until the World Core was saturated, suddenly it floated and entered his glabella as it created a connection between the two of them.

After the connection was made, he felt as if he was omniscient inside the Separate Space. The Monochrome sky instantly showed color as the Arrays in the sky started to work and the spirit qi In the area was slowly increasing in both quantity and quality. He thought that the arrays would only activate the moment he stepped into the Legacy Land.

He looked at the arrays and saw the two arrays only a fourth of both the 16-fold and 8-fold arrays are currently working. It was still better than nothing. He can now create a portal to the separate space without using the array at the top of the mountain.
