Naisha couldn’t help but smile at the strange comparison.
Aksai lowered his hand, and the two Spirit Cores floated gently in front of Jina and Naisha.
"So stop worrying," he said. "Calm your mind and focus."
His tone shifted, becoming firm. "I’m about to start."
Jina took a slow breath. The last traces of doubt in her eyes faded. She straightened her back, steadied her breathing, and closed her eyes.
This ti, she did not hesitate.
Seeing both the Experts were physically and ntally prepared, Aksai loosened his grip on the borrowed Cores with a single thought.
The two borrowed Spirit Cores slipped free from his hand and floated into the air. One drifted toward Naisha. The other moved toward Jina. They stopped a short distance in front of their lower abdons, hovering quietly.
Naisha and Jina both felt a heavy pressure settle over them. Their breathing slowed on its own. They could sense the power inside those cores, dense and deep, like small suns made of Spirit essence.
Aksai raised both hands.
His fingers moved in smooth patterns. One hand followed the other, forming strange signs that did not belong to any known sect. As his hands moved, he began to chant under his breath. The words were low and steady, carrying a strange rhythm that made the air tremble.
Around him, faint lights began to appear.
Rows of spectral runes ford in midair. They were sharp and clear, glowing with pale green and gray light. Each rune looked like part of a long equation, linked to the next. They circled Aksai in slow motion, layer after layer.
These were Essence Equation runes of the Heretic Dao.
The runes did not feel conventional or demonic. They felt cold, strict, and exact. Like rules that did not care about right or wrong.
This thod ca from Aksai’s own experience.
Just recently, he had created a second pseudo Dantian using the Verdant Elder’s Dantian. That process had been painful and dangerous. But it allowed him to look at the whole pseudo Core Formation Lordship in a different light.
After gaining the administrative rights of Verdant Elder’s Dantian, his Neural Link Fabric had studied that process again and again. It broke it apart and improved. Cleaned away flaws. Aksai then removed the prerequisite of having a Qi Shell and second Dantian, turning the thod even more complex and riskier than before.
At this point, the Neural Link could handle such tasks with ease. The conventional "risk factors" didn’t exist for sothing as precise as the artificial intelligence that had been leveled up even further after it ca into contact with the supernatural energies.
Of course, nobody could do what Aksai was doing to the two lady Experts. Why would the three Supres of Kalingoot kill their potential if that wasn’t the case?
Most Spirit cultivators stayed away from Heretic Dao thods.
They were too hard to understand. Too hard to control. One wrong step could ruin a Dantian or twist the mind. That was why almost no one practiced them.
Those who did often ended up half mad.
Aksai rembered Mao, the bloodthirsty demonic cultivator who had left behind this inheritance. That man had been strong, but his mind had clearly paid the price.
But Aksai was different.
He did not need to hold every step in his head.
The Neural Link Fabric worked like a silent helper. It handled countless lines of Heretic Dao runes at the sa ti. It broke the process into small, clean actions and linked them together. Aksai only needed to guide the flow and keep things stable.
If others were solving hard problems by counting on their fingers, Aksai was using a perfect tool.
As the chanting continued, the runes shifted. Two streams of light broke off from the formation and moved toward Naisha and Jina.
Naisha felt a cool sensation spread through her lower abdon. It did not hurt. Instead, it felt like gentle pressure, as if space itself was being stretched.
Inside her body, her Dantian reacted.
Aksai guided the runes with careful control. The Heretic Dao principles did their work. Naisha’s Dantian did not break. It did not tear. Instead, it slowly divided, forming two clear sections.
One remained pure and untouched. The second section took shape beside it, new and empty, waiting. The borrowed Spirit Core floated closer and slowly sank into that second space.
Jina experienced the sa process.
Her brows tightened as she felt the change inside her. It was strange and unsettling, like gaining a new limb she had never had before. But Aksai’s control was firm and steady.
The runes adjusted again.
Roots of light wrapped around each Spirit Core, fixing them in place. They did not rge. They did not fuse. They simply settled, like guests in a prepared room.
Sweat appeared on Aksai’s forehead, but his breathing remained even.
The chant reached its final rhythm. With a soft motion, Aksai lowered his hands.
The spectral runes trembled once, then shattered into countless points of light and faded into the air. The pressure vanished.
Naisha and Jina both gasped softly and opened their eyes. Inside their bodies, a second Dantian now existed. And within it rested the borrowed power of a Core Formation Lord.
Aksai let out a slow breath.
"It’s done," he said calmly.
Aksai then looked at Naisha and Jina for a long mont. He observed them with his own Spirit Sense, ready to assist them externally should the help required.
Both of them were still adjusting to the changes inside their bodies. Their breathing was a bit uneven, but their auras were already different from before. There was a new depth to them now, a hidden weight that only Core Formation power could bring.
Aksai smiled after confirming that things had gone his way and that there were no hidden risks in the future.
"Congratulations," he said in a calm voice. "Both of you succeeded."
Naisha’s eyes shone with quiet joy. Jina felt a steady warmth spread through her chest.
At this point, Erald Cove, or rather, the new Kalingoot had gained two new pseudo Lords.
