"Huh, you can absorb and store the power of 'authority,' inside of yourself. But how I thought that only the 'divine crystal fragment' sealed inside of the 'Selfless Scripture' could hold the power of 'authority,' inside of it."
Shao Sheng Kai asked in a surprised manner after hearing what Zhi Xiang had said.
To this, Zhi Xiang replied formally.
"Yes, 'Host,' you are right; only the 'divine crystal fragment' could hold the power of 'authority,' inside of it. But during the activation of the regression protocol, I had to absorb the power of 'authority;' to make the soul of 'Host' regress.
But at that time, the 'Host' soul also absorbed some of the 'divine crystal fragments' and 'Selfless Scripture' fragments that merged with me and the 'Host' soul making the 'Host' soul into a living divine crystal fragment. Thus, using me and 'Host' soul, 'Host' can absorb and store the power of 'authority' inside of his soul and comprehend it later on."
Shao Sheng Kai was once again surprised by Zhi Xiang's answer. He pondered for a moment and said.
"then the power of 'authority;' In the 'divine crystal fragment' sealed inside of the 'Selfless Scripture' in this timeline can be absorbed and stored inside of my soul to comprehend later on. Well, does it not render 'Selfless Scripture' into anything but a useless piece of a scroll; with no value or power at all."
To this, Zhi Xiang leisurely nodded in acknowledgment of Shao Sheng Kai's word and replied;
"Yes, 'Host' once the power of 'authority;' In the 'divine crystal fragment' sealed inside of the 'Selfless Scripture' absorbed it is nothing but a useless piece of a scroll."
"Hmmm"
After confirming that his prognostication was correct, Shao Sheng Kai hummed and started to think about something on his mind.
"Knock, knock."
But before he could even think about anything, he heard a knock on the door. A familiar, gentle, sweet yet smooth voice came from the outside of the door.
"Elder martial brother, I am coming in to wake you up; today is the day of your coronation as the new 'Patriarch.'
the voice belongs to Shao Sheng Kai's only younger martial sister, 'Bai Ying Hua.'
"Zhi, Quickly hide."
Hearing Bai Ying Hua's voice, Shao Sheng Kai panicked and commanded Zhi Xiang to hide.
To this, Zhi Xiang responded.
"Don't worry 'Host,' I am part of your consciousness and soul; except for you, no one else can see or hear me."
Hearing Zhi Xiang's word Shao Sheng Kai heaved a mouthful of air in relief and stood up to open the door.
He opened the door and saw a young girl 18 years old with jade-like white skin, long black hair combed like a cut rope braided ponytail, and blue phoenix-like eyes; was standing in front of him.
This girl is none other than 'Bai Ying Hua.' Just as Shao Sheng Kai saw her, he remembered how she died fighting and protecting a few girls of the inner sect from being molested by those 'Black Demon Sect' bastard. Even though she managed to save those girls, she didn't manage to save herself; Her body had multiple stabs wound.
Shao Sheng Kai smiled at her with a warm smile and patted her head while feeling emotional.
She was a bit startled by Shao Sheng Kai's action and asked in a worrisome face and voice;
"Elder brother, why are you crying; is everything alright?"
Shao Sheng Kai quickly responded to her words while smiling;
"Yes, everything is alright; just a nightmare, but why are you here."
Bai Ying Hua nodded and replied.
" I came here to wake you up; today is your coronation, and you are not ready yet. Also, 'Foster Father' is calling you for daily morning spar as you are late; By the way, why are you late; you were never late before."
Hearing this, Shao Sheng Kai was surprised and spoke in a timid tone;
"W...WHAT! I am late for daily morning spar practice. 'Foster Father' will kill me for sure today; come on, let's hurry up to the training ground."
Even though Shao Sheng Kai had spoken with a timid tone, but in his heart, he was glad and smiling brightly.
Shao Sheng Kai hurried back to his room, took a white robe with peach flower embroidery on its sleeve, and rushed out with Bai Ying Hua towards the training ground as fast as he could.
In just a couple of seconds, both Shao Sheng Kai and Bai Ying Hua arrived at the training ground.
At the training ground, a gorgeous woman with jade-like white skin, red hairs combed in a simple braided bun, and red phoenix-like eyes; in her mid-30s was sitting on a recliner chair watching the spar. The spar was between a pair of twin young men and a middle-aged man in his early 40s.
The twins had a slightly darker color skin tone, ink-like black disordered hair, and both of them had phoenix-like eyes, which were purple like amethyst in color. Both of them were wielding a wooden version of 'Horse-chopping saber' in both of their hands.
