God Slayer Chronicles 90 Divine Flame

He'd made several observations; this was his first time cultivating the Yin-Yang Great Divide after all. The first thing he observed was the depth of his Qi Sea. The average cultivator would usually have a depth of twenty to thirty meters, with perhaps a few kilometres in circumference.

Sha Ku's Qi Sea was far different though, perhaps it was because of the colliding energies of the Ultra Yin-Yang that had excavated his Qi Rivers, or his new bloodline… but his Qi Sea was more than fifty times deeper than his peers! Let alone the width! Standing upon the sandy edge which would someday become the beach of his Qi Sea, he couldn't visibly see the other coast!

Witnessing the sight Sha Ku couldn't help taking a deep breath, he'd need to desperately cultivate his Qi like a man possessed to keep up with his fleshy body, let alone the Soul which automatically increases in power! Shaking his head slightly, there were some apparent positives though; once into the later stages of the Qi Sea, his stamina would be entirely undrainable! It may be a mountain compared to other's molehills and therefore harder to achieve any of his goals, but he would be a mighty mountain; none amongst his peers would dare to compete with him!

Taking a deep breath Sha Ku rose up, flying into the skies, untethered and unphased in the world which was his Dantian.

There, high in the sky, his violet eyes beamed down, like a mighty sun, gazing upon the land. There he let out a small grin at what he had made…

It is impressive, I have to admit." A small inkling of pride sept into the grounds below, as he was unable to mask his newfound nature. The ever-rebellious Soul in his body felt like roaring, roaring in the heavens and earth, letting it be known a new king had risen from the depths!

"Ha… it does feel good to once again feel this pride, even if it is just an illusion cast upon my Dao Heart." Sha Ku whispered as his newly refreshed eyes opened once more, gazing upon the charcoal room in which he inhabited.

"Tut, tut." Sha Ku spoke, seeing the state of the place. He couldn't help but be disappointed, it really needed a clean-up, a home more deserving of someone of his status! Not to mention the gifts he had yet to post to his siblings.

Slap!

A resounded slap echoed throughout the room as Sha Ku's palm slapped straight down upon his own forehead, sending it bright red. Shaking his head from side to side, he couldn't help but growl, "Fuck. Why am I becoming so bloody pretentious?"

Slap!

Slap!

That was rhetoric. He knew why he was so ostentatious! This bloody Demonic Soul! Sha Ku ground his teeth as he purple eyes, the windows to his Soul, flashed!

"Congratulations, young Master! I knew that you could sunder the status quo with but a single snap of your hand!" Yan Huang suddenly materialised out of nowhere, showering his Master with a consortium of praise!

"Oh, the heavens themselves cower in fear from your talent, young master, that was why you were reincarnated into the lower realms!"

"Young Master, he is so strong and brave! He could destroy the virginity of the Grand Yin Palace with a snap of his fingers!" Yan Huang praised Sha Ku endlessly.

"Yan Huang? Why… why are you being such a suck-up? What do you want?" Sha Ku interjected sharply, not having the patience to deal with this stream of false niceties when he knew the core of his personality was slowly being transformed by something that wasn't in his control!

"Ahem. You can see right through me, Young Master. I was wondering, you said you could bind souls to dead bodies, through Demonisis, without repercussion that is. I was wondering if you could split part of my Soul… so... so I may be of some help for you of course!" Yan Huang's honeyed words did him no good, his schemes and insincerities would be evident to a tortoise, let alone a man.

"I can make you a body, yes." Sha Ku gave an immediate reply, to which Yan Huang was naturally elated!

"But!" Yan Huang's smile froze, "But, Yan Huang, it will not be easy. I'm guessing you seek to cultivate and use a flame-based body?" Sha Ku questioned the Sprit.

"Yes." Yan Huang replied a puzzled look arose across his face as if Sha Ku was going to give him a catch.

"Hmm… I'll need to acquire a spark of divine flame at least. And an actual divine flame if you want a body that can actually cultivate." Sha Ku rubbed his chin, thinking about where he could possibly find such a thing.

"There should be a divine flame in the Vault!" Yan Huang spouted out, confident and convinced of its location.

"In the Heaven's Enigma? You realise there's probably an immortal guarding it?" Sha Ku's eyebrow's furrowed.

Yan Huang hung his head, disappointed in himself, he'd definitely jumped the gun on this matter.

"Huu," Sha Ku sighed, "I… if I find a divine flame, I vow upon the nine heavens that I'll reconstruct your body. Do not fear, Yan Huang."

"Really?" Yan Huang swirled about in the air, ecstatic about the situation.

"Yes…" Sha Ku rubbed his eyes, already tired of the charity he was providing. It occurred to him that it may be better to put a slave seal on Yan Huang's Soul, but he, for some strange reason, trusted the ghost, that seemed to be more haunting him, than aiding him…

This time Yan Huang stood to attention, a sincere voice arose from his lips; "Master, I thank you for your kindness. This Yan shall not forget your good nature, in this life, nor the next. I vow upon the heavens that I shall never betray you! My will is your will, my life is your life! I swear loyalty until my last breath!" Yan Huang clasped his hands, disappearing from the scene, as Sha Ku felt truly touched as a warm feeling spread through his chest.
