Seed Hole

After a long battle in the forest had ended, Luu's group had emerged victorious!

But the prices they paid were enormous, from the forty members initially, the only ones left were twenty now.

They were all covered in blood and injuries and those that had remained weren't ordinary people anymore; including Luu.

The leader bought out a bottle of healing liquid, mixed it into water, and divided it among the group of twenty; making their injuries heal magically faster.

In a place, Luu, Ruu, and Leiju, along with the grey-robed girl and bulky youth sat in one place.

"Meili, thank you for the warning before, or else I would've suffered greatly," said Luu to the grey-robed girl.

The grey-robe girl's name was Meili and the bluky youth was Yeti.

"Sister Luu, no need for thanks, we are now in the same group, helping each other is only natural," replied Meili, with the bulky youth Yeti nodding heavily in agreement.

"It's true, but if you haven't, I'm afraid Luu would've been…" Ruu didn't dare to continue as she tightly clenched Luu's hands.

"Sigh, If only our group had one of the godly people you mentioned," Leiju joined in on the conversation with a sigh. 

They all had heard of their previous story of why they had to escape their previous group because two powerful people with unexplainable power started to fight, bringing destruction everywhere.

Their leader was strong but not to the point of the two people Meili and Yeti mentioned.

Meili fell silent seeming to regret leaving that group, although they were treated like servants there, they could still feel safe under that person. But if they hadn't left at that time, their life couldn't be guaranteed now.

"Let's pray our group won't meet such people in the future, or else…" Yeti voiced out his biggest fear as well as Meili's.

The five of them fell silent and quiet.

'If they meet such people, not to mention resisting, they would surrender without a doubt.' This was the thought going through their minds, as they didn't want to die after coming this far.

…

The night had passed, it was almost noon with the sunlight shining down from high up in the sky.

White had been traveling through the lands and reached deep into the outer layers of the Other Side.

They had only a little rest yesterday night and were forced to continue because of Golden's sense of urgency. Although White has no problem because his aim aligns perfectly with hers, the other people on the other hand are a little dissatisfied, as they are tired.

"So he really came from the Desolate Plane, I didn't expect that," Jade said with some disbelief, she originally thought he was saying it to disclose his identity but after talking with Aizu from the morning, she realized that it wasn't just a lie.

Jade and Aizu both looked at White who was currently with Golden, discussing something with her.

White had been asking bit of information from Golden, Aizu, Greenleaf, and Jade, so as to not expose the drastic changes in him.

Because, of all the information he had gathered, he somehow realized that some of the things that happened to him weren't normal; like his level of control over the primal energy and the enchantment of his senses.

White had also come to a possible reason responsible for it.

From the beginning, he knew his soul wasn't in any way normal; as he wasn't an ordinary being. That abnormality seemed to his body to have some drastic changes when he broke through; allowing him to have a terrifying level of control over the primal energy, not to mention his experiences were also mixed into it.

White also came to know why masters were different from those who were in the Unity phase.

Different from him and Golden, other normal people could control primal energy only after achieving the Major Changes.

But even though they could all control the primal energy, including himself and Golden, they still couldn't perform a key process that a master could. 

That key process was to refine the primal energies into oneself.

Yes, refined!

Master refined the primal energy of heaven and earth into different energies that could cause maricle or destruction. These energies were extremely violent in nature, even for them and they needed to store them in a special space, and this special space could only be possessed after one entered the second phase of the second trial. He knew nothing else about this special space and Golden only said it was mysterious and special.

Right now, they were only a few kilometers away from their destination. 

"White, here you lunch," as they were resting, Aizu came up to him with some bread she had bought after the two fled away.

While others had to get their own lunch, Aizu was always there for White when it came to things like this. It was the same for Frez and Golden.

Nodding his head, White ate the bread looking far into the distance with a solemn look.

Golden glanced at his visage for a moment and went back to doing what seemed to be calculating something.

Aizu was in a good mood as well as Jade, their Unity had increased through the night and over the morning as they came across some primal seeds on their way. The same goes for White and Golden, even Frez.

The only people who didn't get a share were the seven members and the recently 'recruited' two men with an emblem of an old mirror; they were as miserable as ever.

"White, we shall set out in five minutes. Remember what I said, no matter what, we cannot spare a single one even if they surrendered." Golden said with a determined seriousness which she hadn't shown before.

"You don't need to worry," White responded calmly, not diverting his gaze from the skies.

Golden fell silent.

Frez who overheard the things they discussed could not help but take a few steps back in fear and consternation, he looked at the two, not knowing his thoughts or feelings, 'Truly a match made in heaven.'

Some time passed and they all set out toward their goal.

…

The Seed Hole.

This was a plane land where numerous skeletons covered the grounds and further in the distance were also the usually dried trees but these trees were different from normal. They looked ominous and had the blood of the dead climbing from the roots and spreading to all parts of the trees.

This place also had an aura of evil and slaughter permitting in the air, and the centermost of this ominous place was a hole as large as a pond that led to the abyssal underground.

But that was not all, the abyssal hole was illuminated by green colored hue as numerous floating balls played and danced near it and inside.

If people were here, they would immediately identify them as the primal seeds!

Heavens!

There were thousands of them if not more, not to mention there were numerous to the point it was uncountable inside the hole!

This was one of the rare places that existed on the Other Side called the Seed Hole; a place where the primal seeds originate!

Currently, in this place, there were three groups standing against each other on the bone-covered fields. The three groups were anything but friendly looking at each other and behind their back there were also about sixty to seventy people dressed with the uniform of their own factions.

In front of each group stood three individuals who were the leaders of the factions.

One was a man dressed in a black dress with gold patterns holding onto a black spear and on his chest was an emblem of a black spear.

The people behind him also wore a similar dress, indicating they were from the same group.

The other one was also a male with a blue and white dress and an emblem of a blue sword on his chest, his eyes were sharp and had a sense of righteousness in them.

The last one was a stunning girl with a black robe and long purple skirt, she had the emblem of a sword but the sword was very thin and resembled a reaper but still had its edges. She was beautiful and had features to make any man go crazy from infatuation.

"Blue Sword Family, before things get ugly you should run with your tails between your legs, the Black Spear Family and Fairy Sword Family forces are not something you can stand against." The youth in a black dress with a spear emblem said to the blue dress youth.

The girl with a long purple skirt didn't say anything when her Family name was mentioned, they both had agreed to team up against the Blue Sword Family. But they wanted to avoid the fight if possible or else, even if they won, the casualties would be enormous.

The youth in the blue dress looked at the two people and their group with concealed hatred in his eyes and clenched hands. But breathing a few deep breaths, he calmed down his anger and looked calmly at the groups before turning to leave.

"Black Spear Fran, I shall remember today's events and, you!" he turns to the girl with a long purple skirt, "Fairy Sword Xu, I shall remember this betrayal!" Saying this, he turned and left along with his faction. But, as he just steps out of their premises, something unexpected happened.

The environment turned chilly and an aura of a black spear pierced his whole body, causing his face to turn ugly, "Fran, you.."
