The Eternal Eclipse Bird flew within constraints of the forest mountain region.
From the skies, it seed like this forest mountain pathway led to a precipice as it raced through a steady increase in altitude. At the end of the line, there appeared to be a ridiculously tall mountain that seed to even break through the clouds and reach greater heights.
However, within this mountain forest that was densely populated with bizarre pine trees and colored vines that hung down, it was difficult to traverse.
Travelers would have no choice but to pass through the forest since flying above would be similar to courting death, especially in an unfamiliar territory.
Davis, Fairy Thunderblaze, and Rioxys Plu were still on the Eternal Eclipse Bird as they flew past tree after tree. With its decreased size, it was nimble enough to weave through the dense forest. Regardless, he wasn't the one controlling the Eternal Eclipse Bird.
It was Rioxys Plu.
She had beco captivated with flying the bird, which she could command, and didn't want to let go, so after she asked, Davis had no choice but to relinquish the control to her.
Otherwise, if she waved her hand at them in a sudden fit of anger, their corpses wouldn't remain.
Standing behind Rioxys Plu, who joyfully controlled the Eternal Eclipse Bird with soul transmission commands and even was precise with it as she rode the bird skillfully, Davis had to admit that she was better since she could see farther ahead than him with her perception.
Nonetheless, he gazed at her, trying to figure out her true strength, but his perception wasn't enough.
If his perception wasn't enough, he liked to think the observed entity was above Mid-Level Exalt Stage.
However, Rioxys Plu was skilled in concealnt as a darkness spirit. It wasn't like every darkness spirit was an innate apprentice of concealnt, but most were, and Rioxys Plu wasn't any different. Therefore, he couldn't decide if Rioxys Plu's prowess allowed her to cross more than five levels and reach High-Level Exalt Stage, which ranged from Level Seven Exalt Stage to Level Nine Exalt Stage.
'Hmm… A spirit's prowess rarely ever changed when they broke through to the next stage. Bylai told Rioxys Plu's base prowess in the Empyrean Stage was on the low side due to her mixed bloodline as an Emperor Grade Spirit and possibly a Celestial Spirit. That's like missing two tiers in the middle.'
Davis inwardly exclaid as he thought about Heaven-Tier Spirit and Empyrean Grade Heaven-Tier Spirits.
'It's a miracle an Emperor Grade Spirit father managed to obtain a Celestial Spirit mother. Still, regardless of their history, Rioxys Plu inherited both of their spiritlines. As a half-Celestial Spirit, she could be powerful, but as a half-Emperor Grade Spirit, she would've found it difficult to excavate her potential without resources. Bylai took note of this point and thoroughly rectified this problem by feeding her compatible resources.'
'As a result, Rioxys Plu's battle prowess increased in the subsequent years until she entered the Empyrean Stage whereupon her prowess dropped. It makes sense since she only carries a half-Celestial Tier Spirit bloodline. Then it dropped again when entering the Exalt Stage. Therefore, it should be more or less seven levels. Nine levels in a compatible attribute region.'
Once he thought of it like this, Davis nearly sucked in a cold breath.
If Rioxys Plu entered a darkness region sowhere within the Shard Continent, then her prowess would most likely eclipse Level Nine Exalt Stage.
Fairy Thunderblaze noticed Davis's tremble, "What are you thinking?"
Davis turned to look at Fairy Thunderblaze.
She was indeed a beautiful, charming, and mature woman. Her elegant crimson-purple robe perfectly emphasized her flamboyant yet imperial aura, as well as her well-proportioned body.
Behind her crimson veil, he had no doubt she had an astonishingly beautiful face that could easily srize people. Of course, if that face didn't have dubious intentions toward him and his harem, it would've been even more perfect.
Davis wanted to reply, but Fairy Thunderblaze continued.
"I've been thinking. To excavate and extract all the resources in just this Shard Continent with over a few million Immortal Emperors, I estimate it might take hundreds and thousands of years, yet when the passage is granted, the secret realm will remain for no more than a hundred years, and it should have been the case in the past as well, making it difficult to even extract a few percent of the resources. Yet, it seems to be enough…? With how hungry the majority of the powers seem for Primarch Grade resources, I can't fathom how the human race survived against seven other galaxies."
Davis blinked, thinking great- no, bandit minds think alike since he also had this thought for the past few days.
"I didn't manage to find an answer for it. However, it is natural to assu that in the past, resources were gradually expended over ti. Without a Golden Era, perhaps resources at the Primarch Grade are hard to co by in the Greater Realm. If this is true, we shouldn't be in the Desolate Era but a Stable Era."
Fairy Thunderblaze nodded, "True, we're the harbingers of the Desolate Era, so it makes sense that we haven't arrived there to the Desolate Era yet."
"…" Davis went speechless.
By taking control of Realm Cores and using them repeatedly, he was indeed bringing the Desolate Era earlier.
Nevertheless, he continued, "Do you know the limitations of the spirits?"
"Limitations?" Fairy Thunderblaze looked at him with an inquisitive gaze, "Do you an their cultivation limit or decrease in prowess? Otherwise, they don't have much limitations like magical beasts."
"Both. So you know both. I will go through it once again." Davis smiled, still giving an explanation if she was just posing ignorantly or if he was wrong.
Earth Tier Spirits, which were mortal spirits ranging from Mortal to Emperor Grade, had different cultivation and prowess limitations, but particularly, Emperor Grade Spirits could reach the Ninth Stage upon adulthood if they were born wild and could reach the Immortal Stage. However, after reaching the Immortal Stage, if they didn't make the effort to increase their prowess, it would start to decrease until they hit the hard limit of the Immortal Emperor Stage. They wouldn't be able to cultivate more unless they mutated and stepped into the next tier.
Likewise, wild Heaven-Tier Spirits of Immortal Grade reached adulthood upon entering the Immortal or Immortal King Stage. However, after reaching the Immortal King Stage, if they didn't make the effort to increase their prowess, it would start to decrease until they hit the hard limit of Empyrean Stage, after which they need to mutate to beco a Heaven-Tier Spirit of Empyrean Grade.
For a wild Heaven-Tier Spirit of Empyrean Grade, it reaches adulthood at the Empyrean Stage or the Exalt Stage. The latter possessed higher ranking. Likewise, after reaching the Empyrean Stage, if they didn't make the effort to increase their prowess, it would start to decrease, after which they would need to mutate to beco a Celestial-Tier Spirit to improve vastly.
Davis argued that Rioxys Plu also experienced a drop in prowess due to her half-ordinary spiritline, but she had much more potential, wanting to place her in a particular tier.
"Indeed," Fairy Thunderblaze agreed with his explanation, "Spirits don't always fit into these constraints, so it becos difficult to rank them. Regardless, by process of elimination, we can fit her into being a Heaven-Tier Spirit of Empyrean Grade for now. If she does excavate her Celestial-Tier Spiritline, then she would be overpowered within the sa realm like an Alpha Exalt."
"…"
Davis's brows raised as he heard sothing new.
So Celestial-Tier Spirits at the Exalt Stage are comparable to Alpha Exalt.
It was not sothing even Awudan knew of since Celestial Spirits were extrely rare in the Greater Realms. For fear of being used as a resource, they would live in Lower Realms or random celestial bodies.
Seeing that the conversation was fruitful, Davis couldn't help but add, "It's just a matter of ti before I co to know about Divine Lightning. Why don't you tell what it is? We're helping each other out, aren't we?"
His lips curled while Fairy Thunderblaze stared at him with her lush black eyes that occasionally rippled with a crimson hue, displaying the ferocity of her unique physique.
Thanks Emross for the Magic Castle!
