Chapter 1199: Transformation

Roan obviously didn’t understand what he meant by that. “I haven’t cultivated it, so I don’t know what could be wrong with the energy.”

Kihin nodded in response, telling him, “No problem. The technique I want you to test isn’t the one I showed anyway. Instead, it’s a modified version I created based on something I found during exploration at the Ruins of Yaz.”

“Yaz? Is it in the Huring Country?” Roan asked.

Kihin laughed in response. “Hahaha! Of course not! There shouldn’t be a single inch unexplored in our Huring Country anymore by now. The Ruins of Yaz is in another continent instead. The last time the portal to the Wesbin Continent opened, I was one of the lucky cultivators selected to go there.”

Roan knew about Wesbin. It was one of the continents neighboring Huring, just like Lanqueas and Jhiod.

Kihin continued, “As part of the activities allowed for us, self-exploration was one of them. We just had to be back at the portal before it closed. Of course, my group had already left the Sacred Land knowing exactly where we were going.” Kihin didn’t mind telling these things to Roan as Roan was restrained by the Soul Binding Contract...or so he thought.

Kihin ended his explanation there, though. “Anyway, all you need to know is that I was able to create a new version of the Starlight Body Cultivation Technique thanks to the findings we had there. I’ll give that for you to take a look.”

However, Roan immediately stopped Kihin, saying, “No need. I’ll cultivate the original version first.”

‘The Starlight within oneself? Does that mean everyone is born with Starlight already present in their bodies? Then again, it might be a characteristic of the Realm of God’s living beings. There’s no guarantee that I have it as well. The manual also says that it’s useless to ask others as everyone perceives their own Starlight in a different way.’

Roan decided to wipe out all thoughts from his mind. This was the first time since he started to cultivate that he didn’t have Spiritual or Divine Energy running in his body, so it somehow felt empty. However, that was exactly the feeling Roan was trying to achieve.

No thoughts, movements, Divine Energy, nor Soul Power, only his breathing and the beat of his heart. If there was anything else within his body, this would be the perfect state to feel its presence. If that didn’t work, then Roan’s first theory might be right.

Time passed without Roan even noticing. One minute, thirty minutes, one hour, two hours...the longer he stayed like that, the more he could feel his body. He was within his own mind world, and everything was dark. That didn’t bother him, though. Darkness had always been by his side, even in the other half of the universe.

*Tinkle...*

Suddenly, Roan felt like something shone in that world. It was there, and at the same, it wasn’t. It was something that no other person could tell other than Roan himself. It wasn’t exactly bright. If anything, the dark world in his mind was brighter than that. It was more like that shining point in his previously empty mind world was bending that light around it.

Roan knew that he had found what he was looking for. With that, he could ‘see’ and tried to reach out to it.

*Shua!*

When Roan touched that dark spot, the world around him transformed!
