Eye System

Chapter 25: Conversing Part 1

"Noooooo" he screams as he gets up inside a large open golden room onto a comfortable cloud-like bed.

Thinking that he may be in a dream or it might be an illusion by the Eye Demon and is not in control of his own body. Pinching himself he felt pain which made him almost jump in joy thinking that he lost to the Eye Demon.

Instantly seemingly forming from the air, a beautiful figure was formed. She had long black hair and was wearing a long white and green silk dress that was quite tight revealing her slender waist and beautiful figure and her most eye-catching feature was the purple gem in her forehead.

Seeing her instantly, Lex was shocked, but as he looked closer, he was mesmerised by her beauty and the glistening gem in her forehead. Gaining composure after a few seconds realising how weird it is to stare at her he coughs clearing his throat.

"Where am I and how am I no longer injured," he asks respectfully, feeling inferiority as he looked at the gem in her forehead which released an aura of superiority.

"I am the spirit left behind in this temple in this Mortal Beast Dimension and seeing your power, potential and heroic nature, I found it a waste for you to die here," she says to him with her light yet powerful voice.

Hearing this for everything he has been through since high school he was not massively surprised and was, in turn, curious and his thirst for information was awoken.

"What are spirits, how did I get healed, what is this temple, how did you control the corpse beasts, what is that crystal in your head and what is the Lower Plains" he blurts out feeling that there was more here than she was letting on and had a very deep past and identity.

Hearing this, the seemingly sentient fairy-like woman was slightly dazed by the sudden change in behaviour.

[He knows about the Lower Plains and has so many questions, this child is not normal and seemed to be in a battle with another entity within his mind as I withdrew his consciousness] she analysed from him as she thought to herself.

However, hearing the final question, he surprised himself after hearing the Originator Eye Demon say that he was 'being kicked around in the lower plains', but he seemed not to be able to recollect what else he said.

{Ding, some information from the Eye Demon is distorted due to you not being at an LVL to handle the information}.

This caused him to be slightly frustrated and upset, but seeing that the slightly dazed woman gained her composure and was about to answer and forgets about that and diligently listens.

"You are an interesting child and already know quite a bit, but your humanity is still too segregated so will never succeed and don't even cultivate and rely on beast cores to improve yourselves from what I can tell from your body, but despite that, you as a race despite your ignorance have done quite well," she says to him as she scans his body.

As the information resounded within his mind his jaw dropped.

"So, so, there are other humans out there and you don't need beasts' cores for energy" he mumbles, thinking out loud.

Seeing Lex in shock she realised just how stupid the humans here are.

"What is the highest cultivation there is," she asks trying to figure out just how secluded and ignorant they were of the wide world.

"Well, the strongest human currently is nearly a complete Sky Mortal" he answers.

After this she couldn't help but chuckle slightly, "Well what I can tell you is that don't let what these people tell you restrict you and the world is much wider than you believe and there are much larger places out there full of energy in the air and atmosphere and you won't need to rely on beast cores for energy" she says to him.

"So, there are other places but aren't planets like ours and there is energy in the air and people don't need beast cores, and we are just ants in the grand scheme of things and a Sky Mortal doesn't seem to be a high cultivation" he mumbles again thinking out loud.

As the information streamed through his mind, he has begun to align he found that what he thought was the wide universe is a speck of dust in the entire universe. However, he didn't let that put him down but was excited to explore.

"But you still haven't answered some of my questions like what are spirits, how you healed me, what is this place and how do I reach the outer world where there is energy in the air," he asks trying to draw out as much information from her as he could knowing that knowledgeable people like her don't come back every day.

"You humans so weak yet so greedy for everything, well spirits are souls of people sealed in items or are items, plants or weapons that gain consciousness after many years through absorbing energy in the air" she explains to him.

"And I healed you by directing some of your friends healing power into your body and to reach the rest of the world you must leave this sub-dimension and reach the Lower Plains and can happen through someone in your sub-dimension breaking through to the Heaven Mortal rank which will break through your realm limit connecting you to the Lower Plains" she declares to him.

Digesting all the information he received he now knew and aligning it with what he previously he realised just how small, insignificant and weak he is and now knew that the Heaven Mortal rank was above the Sky Mortal rank.

"You have told me so much yet you have been avoiding the same question I have asked twice, what is this place and how come there is a golden temple in the middle of the jungle," he asks still trying to get as much as he can from her.

"This is an inheritance temple left behind by a cultivator in the Lower Plains, myself before I died, the Jade Empress" she announces proudly yet angrily.
