Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 765 World Core (Part 1)

In the living room, Evan slowly opened his eyes. He looked out of the house from the glass window and saw the sun was already high in the sky, indicating it was already noon. He looked at the time and was surprised to see that he had slept for more than sixteen hours.

"It seems my mind was more exhausted than I thought after controlling that Clone..." Evan muttered and stood up from the couch he was sleeping on.

He first took a long bath and after eating something, he sat down in the garden of the house.

The beautiful flowers of the garden swayed in the air and their fragrance covered the surroundings. Evan inhaled the sweet fragrance of the flowers and thought about the next things that he needed to do.

He knew that the Tomb Of The Ancient would open in around three months and he was around ninety percent certain that he would be able to enter the Tomb with Cedar and the other Drayds.

Before the Tomb opens, Evan wanted to reach the mid-level Rank One and increase his understanding of the Void Energy so that he can make his Domain in the future. On top of that, he wanted to create some Rank Two shadow undeads as well.

But now that he knows he can only turn people who are two levels above him at most into the shadow undeads, he planned to break through to mid-level Rank One before thinking about making new shadow undeads.

After becoming a mid-level Rank One Core Evolver, he would be able to turn Beginner-level Rank Two core evolvers into shadow undeads.

In the Tomb Of The Ancient, only people who are peak Rank Two or below can enter, so Evan had enough confidence that he would be able to handle them without much problem after creating some beginner-level rank two shadow undeads.

"For the time being, I should cultivate in the Essence Formation Room to increase the Rank of my core to mid-level as soon as possible..." Evan muttered as he looked at the bright blue sky. "I can put aside my void energy for some time as I will use the Enlightenment Stone to increase its level once they complete the law formation."

"Although Evan didn't know much about Sylvan and others, he was at least certain that they would allow him to use the Law Formation with other Drayds after knowing how he helped Cedar escape from Lucian and others."

"If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to reach mid-level Rank One in one month using the essence gathering room..." Evan said and stretched his body.

He needs to train his body as well so that he can increase all of his stat points to their maximum limit, but Evan had a different plan in his mind to increase his stat points.

As Evan was thinking about things that he needed to do, he suddenly felt something and noticed Cedar's presence coming closer to his location. In just a few seconds, Cedar landed in the garden and walked towards him with a smile on his face.

Evan also smiled upon seeing Cedar, but a puzzled expression crossed his face when he noticed Cedar's waist.

"What's wrong with your lower body? How did your normal waist turn into a busty booty in just a single day?"

Cedar's entire body stiffened upon hearing Evan's question, and a bitter look flashed in his eyes.

'I will definitely spread the rumours about that old man...' Cedar thought inwardly and sat down beside Evan with a sore look on his face.

"Grandpa Sylvan punished me because of what I did in the Star City," He said after sitting down.

While whipping his butt, Sylvan had used a little bit of the power of laws. Because of the law power, even potions couldn't heal his butt instantly. It would take him at least ten days or more to heal his busty booty.

Evan looked at Cedar's overgrown waist and felt this punishment was a bit strange.

'Maybe Dryads have a strange concept of punishments,' he thought and decided to ignore it.

"I asked Grandpa Sylvan about the law formation. According to him, it should be ready in ten days at most."

"Ten days..." Evan raised an eyebrow upon hearing Cedar and looked at him in surprise. "Isn't the law formation a very high-level formation that can even help Rank Five and Rank Six core evolvers? I thought it would take at least one or two months to build such a high-level formation."

"I also thought the same," Cedar smiled upon hearing Evan. "But we already have the base of the law formation ready, and we just need to connect the Enlightenment Stone with it, so it wouldn't take long before we'll be able to use the law formation."

Hearing Cedar, Evan thought about the incomplete law formation that was in his house and nodded in understanding.

Suddenly, he thought about something and asked with interest. "Can multiple people use the law formation at the same time?"

"Generally, it's not recommended because the effect of the law formation will reduce if multiple people use it simultaneously, but..." Cedar said and showed a smug smile. "The Enlightenment Stone we stole is quite big, so it won't be a problem for ten people to use the formation at the same time without reducing its effect."

"Ten people..." Evan was greatly surprised upon hearing that ten people would be able to use the formation at the same time without reducing its effect. Honestly, he had thought that only one person would be able to use the law formation at a time.

"By the way, since we were the ones who brought the Enlightenment Stone, we will be able to use the formation without any problem," Cedar added in a delightful voice.

He was quite excited because he would be able to increase his power using the law formation before entering the Tomb of the Ancient.

Evan also smiled upon hearing Cedar, but he was still planning to increase the rank of his core to mid-level before thinking about using the law formation.

For other beginner-level rank one core evolvers, it might be more beneficial to increase their understanding of conceptual energy and create their Domain instead of increasing the rank of their core first, but for Evan, the rank of his core was more important.

By increasing the rank of his core, he would be able to create Rank Two shadow undeads, and they would be more helpful to him in the Tomb of the Ancient.

As Evan was thinking about his core, Cedar suddenly took out something from his storage ring and placed it in front of him.

"Grandpa Sylvan asked me to give this to you," He said after placing the item in front of Evan.

Evan looked at the object Cedar had placed in front of him and saw it was a palm-sized silver-coloured stone. When Evan saw the silver-coloured stone, his eyes opened wide in shock.

"This..." He picked up the stone, and its details appeared in front of him.

---) Space Stone (Mid-Level): A rare artefact refining material that can be found only in places filled with a high level of space energy.

"A mid-level space stone..." Evan said and looked at Cedar with a stunned expression.

The space stone that he had seen in the Star City was just a low-level space stone, but its price was still 50,000 high-level essence stones. However, the space stone that Cedar had just given him was a mid-level space stone, so he couldn't even fathom its price.

Space stones were already very rare, so he was sure that the value of a mid-level space stone was definitely very high.

"Did you tell him that I needed the space stone?" Evan asked after coming back to his senses.

Cedar shook his head upon hearing Evan and explained how Ashley had secretly followed them to the Star City in order to protect them.

Evan raised an eyebrow upon hearing that Ashley had followed them to the Star City, but he didn't care too much about it because he could already guess why she was following them.

'So she was the one who told Sylvan about it, huh,' Evan thought inwardly as he looked at the space stone in his hand.

"Now I only need blood soul crystals and the time liquid," He said to himself and put away the space stone.

"Please thank Grandpa Sylvan on my behalf," Evan said to Cedar after putting away the space stone.

"Sure," Cedar nodded his head upon hearing Evan and they talked for a few more hours. After some time, Cedar left, and Evan walked towards the Essence Formation Room.

During their conversation, he told Cedar that he is planning to try to reach mid-level Rank One in the following month, so he doesn't need to worry about him, and he can focus on his own cultivation.

Cedar was surprised when he heard Evan was planning to increase the rank of his core instead of using the law formation. He advised him to focus on creating his Domain first, but when Evan said he had his own reasons to prioritize the Rank of his core, Cedar did not ask anything and told him to contact him if he needed anything.

Soon Evan reached in front of Essence Formation room and took a deep breath.

"Let's try to reach mid-level in one month..." He muttered and entered the Essence Formation Room.

One month passed in the blink of an eye, and Evan spent most of his time in the Essence Formation Room, trying to reach mid-level Rank One. But even after giving his best, he wasn't able to reach mid-level in one month because he encountered an unexpected problem.
