Alex focused on the pulsing imdiately, trying to grab at it. But he was just a fraction too late. Had he left the Spiritual Sea even a second earlier, he would've found it.
'No matter, I'm ready for it now,' he thought.
Instead of waiting for it out here, he sent his spiritual sense into his Soul Space, where he could find the pulse much faster.
Alex tried checking how much his Soul Space had grown now that he was in here, but that was a fool's errand. It was not sothing that could be asured. So, he focused his attention on this Demon realm while he was looking around.
He quickly made sure everything was running fine with no issues. He hadn't fed the two trees a whole lot during these past two decades since the tournant began, but thankfully, they didn't seem to need it all that much.
Alex's Soul Space was filled with very weak but abundant Life energy, which helped the two trees grow even when they weren't being fed anything. It made their growth very slow, but they grew nonetheless.
Alex could feel the heat of the Nine Yang Divine Tree even with his spiritual sense at this point, understanding that it was becoming stronger. As for how strong, that was a bit difficult to answer.
Alex guessed it was at a level between a True rank plant and a Saint rank plant. It would take a while longer to reach Immortal rank, which was good.
The World Tree, on the other hand, still hadn't improved past the point of creating True Qi. No beast could cultivate around it either, as it actively consud all things that ca toward it, including spiritual senses. One couldn't yet make use of the World Tree as it was said to be used in the legends. It was still in its growing phase.
Alex checked through a few things with Whisker, such as the various plants and beasts, as well as the silkworms, when he sensed the pulsing once more.
Inside the Soul Space, the pulse was much stronger, and Alex imdiately tracked down the origin. His senses traveled faster than thought could, arriving at the location where many things floated in the void of his Soul Space.
A dozen different things were before Alex, but the thing that pulsed just then had been a talisman there.
"Hmm?" Alex thought, wondering what this talisman was. It took him but a mont to recall exactly where he had gotten this talisman.
"Oh, this is the talisman Bai Jingshen gave , right before I left the lower realm."
Alex rembered Bai Jingshen's words from back then. There was a technique written into the talisman, sothing that he could only use when he reached the Immortal Origin realm. Sothing given to him by his master.
Alex pulled the talisman out of his Soul Space so quickly that he was surprised it wasn't ripped to pieces when it landed in his hand. He felt his heart beat faster and faster while his entire body grew tense at what the technique could be.
A technique given to Bai Jingshen by Godkiller himself.
Alex took a deep breath and read the talisman.
The three words in the technique's title were enough to stun Alex to his core.
Provenance Duality: Transformation
"Huh?" Alex couldn't help but blurt out in confusion. He read the title twice, but there were no words there now. The words had already stripped themselves off the talisman after Alex had read it.
Then, a stream of information flowed into Alex, sothing that embedded itself into his mind without his permission. Alex dared not stop it now. He understood its importance.
Alex left himself vulnerable for the knowledge to imprint itself into him. It took only a few seconds at best, but in that ti, it was enough. He had now fully learned everything he needed to about the technique within the talisman.
As for the talisman itself, it was now completely blank.
Alex let go of the talisman, both his palms open as he failed to understand what he was supposed to do with his hands at the mont. His thoughts were entirely focused on the knowledge he had just received, focused on the familiar and yet sohow different technique he now possessed.
It was a technique that affected his Origin, similar to how the technique he had received from Reverend Sixghost did. However, this affected it differently.
Alex took a long mont to thoroughly understand this new technique, and sohow, he found it to be much better for him considering his situation.
Provenance Duality: Transformation made it possible for Alex to do one simple thing: Transform.
It allowed him to create an Origin that could change from one state to another, allowing for two separate auras to be placed into it to create different, interchangeable Creations.
That was, it allowed for a single person to have two Creations. It wasn't fundantally two Creations, but rather one that could change to another, but for all it mattered to Alex, it was two.
Alex was simply stunned by this knowledge, left speechless. Even then, his mind raced with this new opportunity, giving him an even greater feeling of shock and jubilation.
His dilemma, which would have plagued him for years to co, had suddenly been vanquished. Sun or Sword? That was no longer the choice. The answer was Sun AND Sword.
He didn't have to choose just one. He could have them both.
This was a godsent opportunity — though it was sent by the Godkiller.
'Replication and Transformation,' Alex thought suddenly, wondering how the two would interact.
Replication allowed him to separate the sa Origin into multiple ones, and Transformation allowed it to change between states. Could he make use of them together?
Alex would have to learn both techniques thoroughly and understand what they did very carefully before proceeding any further. If they contradicted each other, he might even have to give up on one of the techniques.
Alex planned on imdiately checking the two techniques' compatibility with each other, but he froze all of a sudden.
Once again, sothing else pulsed within his Soul Space.
