A burst of blue light covered Vather in the next second before disappearing, Vather gone with it disappearance.
The blue light flashed in a dark room made with rocks, like some type of ancient cave. In the middle of the cave was a circular pool of lava. But strangely the lava wasn't the usual red,but completely blue in colour.
The light dropped Vather in the middle of the pool as his body made a sizzling sound before sinking into it. Nothing happened after that, not a single ripple was observed for almost an hour before a green light suddenly began to pulse. It started out as a gentle flicker beneath the blue pool before suddenly flaring out powerfully illuminating the cave with a mixture of green and blue lights.

Deep within the blue lava
A dried husk of a human could be seen deep within the lava as his body lied down at the end in a straight position. A gaping hole was on his neck with three more on his body.
It layed there motionless when suddenly the green crystal on his forehead suddenly began to pulse once again. Slowly, then started pulsing regularly before picking up speed.
The green crystal on Vather's forehead began pulsing with green light, as a suction force was created causing a whirlpool to suddenly form at the top of the pool. All the blue lava suddenly began to pour into Vather's body as directed by the green light.
Pure energy present in the lava flood into Vather's body with speed as all the injuries on him began to close up. The gaping hole on his neck suddenly began to close up and there was not a single sign of injury on him in the next hour. All the injuries present on him were no more as Vather's body was back to normal in the next second but there was still some lava left.
The crystal suddenly flared brightly with power as the blue lava were absorbed into his bones and skin. Vather's body that was a dried up husk suddenly began to expand as the lava entered into his bones making them immediately shatter into pieces but the green light flared with more light causing the shattered bone to reform. The blue lava once again flooded into the bones strengthening it but after a stage it once again shattered causing the green light to also reform it.
A cycle was of destruction and creation was formed as Vather's bone continued to get stronger while golden coloured runes appeared on them. The runes flared with occasional golden light as the blue lava were suddenly absorbed into it causing them to brighten up and the energy present in the lava to be properly absorbed into his bones as they didn't shatter from the energy and were slowly being reformed.
The blue lava was starting to turn into pure white water as all the energy present were being sucked away.
With trying to reform Vather's bones out of the way, the green crystal continued pulsing with it's green light as it directed all the energy remaining in his spine. Vather's spine immediately also shattered when the blue energy were passed into them but immediately reformed by the green light of the crystal as another cycle of destruction and creation began.
The golden runes began to appear in his spine too as the blue wave of energy were absorbed into them causing the runes to brighten up while sending all the energy to his spine in order to strengthen it.
The remaining blue light were passed into his skin making the impurities present in them to be removed as blue coloured scales suddenly began appearing on Vather's skin.
Small blackhole were present on his every scales as all the remaining blue wave of energy were absorbed into those blackhole strengthening the scales to unbelievable levels.

5 days later
A humanoid being of about 2 metres tall could be seen lying at the end of the blue colored pool that has been reduced to water.
Beautiful blue scales lined intricately covered every part of his body revealing burst of blue light occasionally. A golden coloured light flared from deep within him as the runes present in his bones occasionally flared with golden light.
His blood was a strange blue colour with not a hint of red but strangely in him, there was no heart. In the location of the heart were three dried up cores which has been reduced to pebbles.
This new humanoid being was Vather.
Suddenly the apple fruit Vather obtained from the wolf and other items containing dimensional energy were suddenly removed out of his spatial ring and floated above him.
It should be noted that only the person who had the spatial ring could remove the content by directing their consciousness into it but strangely the crystal can access Vather's storage ring by just letting it's green light flare on it.
About ten items radiating a great deal of dimensional energy enough to make the a late core formation stage break into the divine assimilation stage suddenly appeared in the air as they drew closer and entered into Vather's body.
All the dimensional energy were directed by the green light into the core as the dried up cores suddenly began to increase in size.
As the size of the tree cores rose, Vather's cultivation also began to climb.
Early body tempering stage
Late body tempering stage
Early meridian forging stage
Late meridian forging stage
His cultivation stage suddenly stopped when it reached the late meridian forging stage as the dimensional energy present were unable to move him back to the stage he was present in before,the early core formation stage.
But even though the he had regressed back to the late meridian forging stage. The size of his cores were twice larger than what they were at the early core formation stage.
Formerly,when he broke through to the core formation stage his heart was divided into three causing the True Astral light core to be twice the size of the other cores but now they were all at the same size and even more bigger than before.
The green crystal suddenly stopped flaring with green light as it occasionally pulse on Vather's forehead but it pulse was now more than five times slower than before as it only produced a small flickering light now.
It seems trying to bring Vather out of his death door had caused most of the energy present in it to dry up.
All that was left in the cave was a completely still pool that has been reduced from the thick blue lava into normal water as all the energy present had been drained.
The cave was once again plunged into silence when suddenly a ripple emerged from deep within causing the stillness of the water to be broken.
