Bladedance entered Alex's Soul Space and arrived at the new island. Her eyes widened in surprise at the size of what she saw.
'I really thought that kid was exaggerating. But this is seriously big' she thought. Even with her Divine Sense fully kept in, she could easily tell that there were a lot of new things added to the world.
She thought of flying to take a better look at everything, but sothing stopped her.
A blinding light appeared before her suddenly, and out of the bright yellow fire ford a bird.
Ray landed before her at a dium size and gave a small bow. "You must be my master's master," he said. "You are welco here."
Bladedance looked down at the fire bird before her, a little surprised. "What are you?" she asked, having not expected Alex to have sothing like this in his Soul Space. He hadn't told her anything about it until now either.
"His na is Ray," Alex's voice ca from the sky in that mont. "As for who he is, he is the spirit ford from the beast core of the
deceased Primordial, Three-Legged Crow."
Alex's explanation ca so suddenly that it took Bladedance a couple of seconds to process everything he had said. "Wait, what?" she asked, only now fully comprehending his words. "He is who?"
"The remnant of the Sun Crow," Alex said again. "Not dissimilar to the Guardian Tiger we t back in Hell."
Bladedance's eyes remained wide open for a while as she stared at the fiery beast before her. "Did I hear sothing wrong?" she asked. "He just called you master."
"Yes," Alex said quickly. "That's because I am his master. I ford a bond with him."
Bladedance didn't think her disciple could shock her anymore, and yet he continued proving her wrong each ti. "You ford a bond with the remnant of a Primordial? How the hell is that even possible? In the first place, is it possible to form bonds with spirits?"
Alex hadn't thought about that. "I'm not sure if it's possible or not. In my case, I happened to use the True God's energy to form the bond. It didn't even affect my soul because of that."
Bladedance continued looking at Ray, not sure how to feel about the presence of a Primordial before her. She gulped a little before giving it another nod in respect.
"Ray, leave her be for now. Let her see the place on her own," Alex commanded, and the beast acquiesced.
Ray disappeared suddenly, leaving Bladedance alone.
Bladedance finally seed to grab hold of herself. "He was the one guarding the trial you were on before?" she asked.
"Yes," Alex explained. "I thought of telling you that he was bonded to back then, but I decided to keep it a secret until now. I wanted to surprise you."
Bladedance rubbed her forehead. "I should know by now that every conversation I have with you has so surprise hiding within it," she said, before looking up. She flew slowly, trying not to place a burden on Alex's mind as much as she could.
Up in the air, she had a better vantage point over the entire island, and only then did she see its true size. She could not believe for a second that there was a place inside her disciple's Soul Space that was this big. And from the looks of it, he could accept so much more. Alex gave an account of how many islands he added, the size of it all, and what those islands previously held. The only islands worth talking about were the ones with the poison plants, which weren't that many to begin with. Alex also told her about the various rivers and lake systems they had later created, filled now with the water from the
Twin Scar realm, which contained so energy from the dead Flood Dragon and Qilin.
"You probably can't sense it right now, but the entire area around you is filled with the energy left behind by the two Primordials who sacrificed themselves," Alex explained.
"The Raindragon and the Phoenix?" she asked as she recalled what
Alex had told her.
"Yes. Do you want to sense it? I will try my best to hold on if you want
to release your Divine Sense," Alex said.
Bladedance was quite tempted. "Start counting. I will stop the
mont you stop counting"
Alex nodded and started. "1, 2, 3..."
Bladedance slowly released her Divine Sense as thin as she could. Little by little, she touched the air surrounding herself.
"8, 9, 10..."
Imdiately, she sensed the presence of a foreign energy that she had never truly sensed before. She could tell that it was a powerful energy, but beyond that, she hadn't the faintest clue as to what it was.
"14"
She tried to take a better look at the energy, but imdiately realized that Alex had stopped counting. Without hesitation, she took her Divine Sense back into her body.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Yes," Alex said in a weak voice. "I'm sorry. The pain ca out of nowhere. I couldn't even warn you."
"That's fine. You did well."
"Did you find anything about it?" Alex asked. "Have you ever sensed sothing like this before?"
"Never," Bladedance said. "But I also didn't get a closer look, so I can't
tell precisely."
"Hmm," Alex thought for a bit. "Oh, right. The water has a similar energy, so I can give you so to look over later."
Bladedance nodded. "That works. Does this energy do sothing, though? How do you use it?" she asked.
"The energy slowly turns into God Qi, which is so volatile currently
that it directly splits into Celestial Qi. Ray can then use the Celestial Qi to run all the functions of the various islands," Alex said. "Including the defense of the island. With the use of this energy, he is capable of
killing even Celestials."
Bladedance stared at nothing in particular with wide eyes.
"Are you serious?"
