Weapon seller in the world of magic

For the time being, you will be staying here. Once he returns, we will start leaving for Lunaris City. Until then, you can do whatever you want."

"When will he return?" asked Sylvandria without any fear on her face.

Before Zheng answered her, Shen Ling spoke, "I just want to know whether we are at Western Moon or not."

The Zheng first looked at Sylvandria to clear her doubt, "I'm not sure either. But, I can communicate with him and provide you updates once in a while."

The scarlet leopard then turned its head to look at the princess, "Yes, we are not far away from Lunaris City. However, you cannot leave right now. If Lu Zhen hadn't told you anything, then, you can only wait for his return and question him directly."

"I understand," Shen Ling elegantly bowed to the beast as she grabbed her skirt, "Thank you."

Meanwhile, Song Yue was staring at the beast in silence as if she had fallen into deep thought.

The Zheng sensed her gaze and asked, "Lady Song, is there anything you want to say?"

Sylvandria was startled a bit due to the difference in how the demigod realm beast was addressing them, "Lady?"

Shen Ling, on the other hand, didn't think too much.

Song Yue came out of her stupor and said, "Mr. Lan, if I remember correctly, the dots on your body are black. They now appeared white."

"Oh, an excellent observation," The Zheng praised the most probable eldest wife of its master. "The change is due to our connection, Lady Song. Every beast that forms a contract will eventually gain additional abilities. I, on the other hand, acquired an entirely elemental attribute.

I have yet to master the Ice element but once I complete it, I will proceed to create my avatar and make my preparations for the breakthrough."

"Ice Element? Breakthrough?" The three ladies couldn't help but look at each other in a mix of surprise and confusion.

At the moment, all three of them generated the same question in their minds.

As Song Yue and Sheng Ling hesitated to ask, due to the fact that it is useless for someone like them with mediocre talent, and Sylvandria who was uncomfortable around the presence of a beast emperor like the zheng, they fell silent and merely accepted its explanation.

Song Yue's attention was then shifted to the teenage girl, who was walking toward her with Meng Tao.

Soon, all of them started preparing to set up a camp and rest in the middle of nowhere.

Sylvandria's attention was on the demigod beast that was simply lying on the ground and had its gaze fixed in the east.

She excused herself from the rest and walked toward the beast emperor.

The Zheng sensed her presence and spared a glance at her, opening its mouth as she neared him, "Do you need anything, miss?"

Sylvandria didn't mince her words and directly questioned the beast, "How does creating an avatar help the breakthrough? Isn't it just a waste of ether energy?"

The Zheng didn't answer her question at first and simply responded, "Why do you want to know? With such pure divine energy and the blessings of a deity, you shouldn't have any problems with a breakthrough, anyway."

"You can also see that I have the blessings of a deity?" Sylvandria appeared to be impressed.

Lan Ju slowly turned its head to look at the woman far older than himself, "Isn't it something common when one reaches the demigod realm?"

"Maybe," Sylvandria shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. I'm not a demigod and I cannot become one either."

Lan Ju was forced to take another look at Sylvandria and shook his head, "I don't sense any curses though. You could make a breakthrough."

"Without an order from our lord, if I do that, my body will break down," Sylvandria let out a sigh. "I betrayed Lord Auri-El and joined Lu Zhen's side. Any further actions of raising my cultivation is considered selfish and this will result in losing not only his blessing but also his blessing. Anyway, it is a complicated story. You won't understand."

Lan Ju stared at her for a couple of seconds and asked, "Then, are you asking simply out of curiosity or do you have a wish to escape this Auri-El's control over your fate?"

Sylvandria couldn't help but sigh once again as she remembered certain memories, "As I no longer hold any purpose to live, I have decided to dedicate my life to Lu Zhen, who gave me this new life. Turning into a demigod would probably ease his major worry but I cannot just go against our deity."

"Then, this technique would be perfect for you," said the Zheng as it got up in a bit of excitement. "Our Ancient Lan's avatar creation is different from the rest. Here, our avatars won't be born, but instead, they are merely created as our mirror selves. It's like a clone but with your soul.

Using an ancient technique of Lan Sect, we will split our soul into two equal parts. Along with your soul, your ether energy will also be halved. However, the basic requirement is that you should possess multiple attributes so that you can give one to your avatar.

Unlike Beasts like me that have such privilege, it is incredibly rare for humanoid races to be born with multiple elements. You can use an elemental seed as a replacement in that case in the creation of the avatar.

Anyways, after splitting yourself into two parts, both of you then resume your training to reach the peak before merging back into oneself, forcefully breaking through to the next realm.

This way, you won't go against your lord because you aren't actually making a breakthrough but the breakthrough will happen by force when you merely merge with your otherself."

"Hmm… splitting one's soul, huh," The former high priestess of the Ixitus Empire grabbed her chin and thought about it seriously.
