Chapter 1909: Enlightment

In the serene environment of the Bodhi temple, Emery chose to extend his stay, immersing himself in meditation in front of the Spirit Tree. This sacred space held the richest spirit energy on Earth, making it an ideal location for training and spiritual advancement.

Amidst the tranquility, Emery contemplated various paths to bolster his strength. Foremost on his list was the restoration of his broken Primal core, recognizing that its repair would significantly enhance his power. However, he grappled with the challenge of finding a solution, as the only method he currently knew involved devouring more souls.

Contemplating other avenues, Emery considered the role of an apothecary. This multifaceted pursuit could not only generate much-needed funds but also provide an opportunity to experiment with the newly devised recipes: the [Celestial Body Tempering Recipes] and [Celestial Spirit Enhancement Potions]. These alchemical creations held the promise of enhancing not just Emery's strength but also that of his companions. Additionally, Emery had the intriguing [Twin Sun Wolf] blood vial, a subject that fueled ongoing research and exploration.

However, the situation turned his attention to one that held the promise of further enhancing his spiritual mastery and comprehension of the law of light.

He took out the [Astral Awakening Manual], a coveted reward from the Spirit Master competition. This manual delved into techniques enabling Emery to imbue part of his soul, manifesting it as an astral form that could take any desired shape.

The manual guided him in solidifying these astral entities into tangible matter, transforming mere illusions into a tangible reality. Although this process shared some foundations with how Emery created his summons, the [Astral Awakening Manual] followed a distinct path, emphasizing the harnessing of mental strength.

Immersing himself in the manual for hours provided Emery with profound insights to further enhance his spirit-based spells—crafting a more effective spirit attack, fortifying his elusive defense, and expanding the number of his summons. The teachings within the manuals proved to be enlightening, and with his prior mastery of the spirit tempering manual and the knowledge of Katra gained from the elves, Emery successfully comprehended the beginner manual in just a week, achieving a significant breakthrough.

[You have successfully comprehended the law of Light]

[Soul force has increased by 5 points]

[Law of Light - 16 (17)%]

This newfound knowledge held great potential for Klea, especially given her natural talent in spirit reading. Unfortunately, like most scrolls, the content dissipated as soon as Emery finished reading it, leaving behind nothing but a blank piece of paper.

Understanding Emery's intention, Klea, who had been accompanying his training, playfully remarked, "Don't worry, even without learning it, I can still beat you," goading Emery into a spirit attack duel to test his newly acquired power. However, the gap between their abilities was so vast that Klea couldn't even leave a scratch on Emery's mental defense.

"Huh… this is no fun… this means you can keep secrets from me, and I can't keep anything from yours," Klea pouted, her playful demeanor slightly disappointed.

Emery calmly responded, "What do you want to know?" indicating his willingness to answer any of her questions. His reply prompted Klea to cheekily hold his arm, saying, "I am kidding, of course you have no secrets from me."

Curious about the newfound strength of his mental abilities, Emery sought a personal analysis from VIA.

[Emery Ambrose]

[Spirit Master - Rank 9]

This ranking resembled the one Emery had obtained in the Spirit Master competition, but VIA introduced an ancient ranking system with a total of 15 ranks instead of the known 12.

[Rank 2 - Magus level]

[Rank 8 - Grand Magus level]

[Rank 12 - Supreme Magus level]

Rank 9 indicated that Emery possessed a level of mental strength stronger than some grand magus. Moreover, when he employed his [Emperor Focus], Emery could elevate two ranks in defense, effectively reaching rank 11—a status comparable to the spirit defense of a peak grand magus.

In comparison, Klea, with her talent and over 430 soul force, only received rank 6. On the other hand, to their surprise, the Abbot, who had less than 300 soul force, was able to achieve the same rank of 6. Apparently, his centuries of meditation helped strengthen his mental defense.

Unfortunately, Emery's breakthrough, while impressive, didn't provide the clarity he sought in his communication with Gaia.

Just as he was contemplating continuing his training with the advanced manual, a message from Captain Terrador interrupted his thoughts. It conveyed the impending arrival of an envoy from the Magus Alliance to the Moon Base.

"Who could it be?" wondered Klea, her concern echoing Emery's own worry about the potential involvement of Kronos.

Ascending into the sky, they were soon picked up by the Nova ship. After a few hours, the anticipated envoy arrived—an official Magus Alliance officer, an older magus who came along with his staff.

"I am Nathan. My task here is to survey this base, and I hope for your cooperation," introduced the middle-aged Crescent Magus, showing proper identification and maintaining an unthreatening demeanor. He spent half a day meticulously taking notes before departing, assuring that he would return for another survey in a few months.

Captain Terrador clarified that such surveys were standard to ensure Emery, the new caretaker, fulfilled his responsibilities. Despite this explanation, the timing of the visit fueled Emery's suspicions that there might be more at play behind the scenes.

To add to his suspicions, just a day after the envoy's departure, the long-awaited message from the Kronos arrived, indicating their readiness and accepting his demand to trade with the captive..

Emery accepted the message with a calm determination, and, exuding confidence, he sent a reply.

"I will deliver her myself," he declares, intending to visit Kronos' home planet.
