Three and half years passed like breathing. In these three and half years many changes happened.
Jin turned 17. He is now officially one step away from becoming a complete youth. The Galaxial genius ranking carried many geniuses of the soul lord realm peak and they were all around 18 to 20.
Jin was still a junior in front of them but in these years, his progress was not slow at all. His spiritual energy cultivation was already at the perfection of the soul born realm two and half years ago and his soul cultivation also recovered.
The Mortal Mill improved his cultivation as well as his soul quality. In these years, he already finished the 332 rounds of the Mortal Mill but he could take the next step no matter what. But he knew that there was no need for him to be impatient.
From what he understood, the Mortal Mill only increased the purity of his soul power not cultivation but the high purity led to an automatic increase in the soul power. And not just that, he can feel that his soul power is comparable to a soul lord.
During this ti, he also constantly monitored Aion but to his disappointnt, Aion never woke up. He was just like a stone statue but what made Jin sigh in relief was that Aion was breathing normally and he was continuously absorbing his soul power and spiritual power.
But Jin was most surprised because of Nox. In these years, Nox made the highest improvent. He followed a unique path which doesn’t suit his dragon race personality at all.
In his eyes, the strange creatures were the best test experints and, in these years, he discovered his own path. He even told Jin that there were yin and yang in everything but they are not in harmony. Yang faire can never coexist with yin fla.
And ice can’t rge with the steam. Jin continued but Nox just muttered this nonsense but one day Jin was stunned when he saw that Nox converted a strange creature in his original form of the vitality spiritual beast.
Nox then explained that those strange creatures are alive but not in vitality but in a different form. The dead beco the energy for others and they all rge their disrupted consciousness which lead to the birth of intelligence in these strange creatures.
But Nox was only able to do this to the spiritual adhering level of strange creatures. Above that his balance shifts and it fails. Nox explained that the yin and yang must be in harmony for the different applications to rge.
Not only that, Nox also created his own path like Aion. He calls this path the yin-yang path. It follows the spiritual energy and soul power but it is vastly different from what Jin knew. In these three years, Nox was already a yin-yang beast commander.
Jin didn’t know how but Nox can make both the yin and yang in harmony. The beast commander is equal to a soul born realm.
Nox was already at the peak of this realm. His progress was really fast but Jin also understood the reason behind that. Nox has a high talent but despite that, he was trapped in the egg for an unknown number of years and never hatched.
It may sound illogical but since life wasn’t born so how could it be destroyed when it carries the essence of two divine beings and protected from external threats.
Not just him and Nox. The entire village also improved its condition. Jin taught blacksmithing and cha engineering to the villagers and he was surprised that there are quite a few who have talent in these professions.
He also learned the basic cultivation technique that people from this galaxy cultivated and it was different but also the sa from the one he cultivated and every other also cultivated. It just follows the vitality and the life law as a core path.
Since there is a huge amount of vitality in this galaxy, the laws of life are undoubtedly the highest in the galaxy compared to others. And this caused the universal spiritual energy to fuse with the vitality and everyone cultivate this path.
Now Jin also understood why there are no divine beings in this galaxy. Since the life path is already taken then how can soone else follow that sa path?
He created many rank one and two weapons during this ti. And not just that, he also added the devouring and purification formation in that. It helped the villagers to increase their strength. But as ti passed, the formation wears out and Jin has to remould that entire weapon with the new formation.
From the past three and half years, the villagers have many foundation building level cultivators and there were three who also entered in the core realm but they never appeared outside the domain of the Ancient Tree.
Jin made them follow his instructions strictly and they indeed proceeded with precaution. The strange creature tide thus did not appear any more. But occasionally there were creatures with higher strength and this ti, they were easily dealt with.
The villagers used the weapons to attack in one chain and this gave Jinn a new idea. He worked on this and half a year ago, he achieved success. He called them the linked tools. They were linked to each other and one toll can increase its rank by rging with others.
This caused the foundation level cultivator to exchange moves with strange creatures comparable to core realm and they both were fighting to a draw. In the end, a core realm from the village secretly finished the battle.
In the past three and half years, Jin also discovered the main horror of the Ancient Apricot tree. Any race called ’ancient’ in this galaxy held a very high place in the clans and the different mini planes and domains.
The ancient tree did not share the reason but he told Jin the reason why the Ancient Apricot Trees are called ancient. Each year they harvest a hundred fruits which can enlighten anyone and according to age there are different functions of the fruit.
A mortal with old age can increase their life span by a dozen years, a middle-aged man can enter into the cultivation path with no cultivation technique.
The youth can also get the sa benefit but there is another thing that they gain, that is the increase in talent. According to Jin, if Tren or Elvy ate the fruits, their talent can compare to those in the last 200 of the genius rankings from the Solvaris galaxy. The chances are slim but one thing is sure that is the increase in talent.
The other thing that made it the most dangerous is the Ancient Apricot fruit. It is condensed once in a thousand years and the Ancient Apricot Tree will suit essence and cultivation to condense one. This fruit has the ability to increase the talent compared to the top ten of the galaxies.
It must be noted that Jin, Aurora, Rachel and Yang Xu were abnormal. Otherwise, it is difficult to defeat soone from the high galaxy. So, this fruit can increase that talent comparable to Yan Yichen.
Jin sucked a cold breath when he learnt that. He asked the ancient tree the price it has to pay for that.
The tree rely responded to none. It is the natural cycle for a tree to grow from a plant to a tree and bear a flower and then fruit. There are exceptions but it is still the sa for all the trees.
The tree also handed the three fruits that it had preserved from all his past years and asked Jin to use them properly. Other fruits equally beca nourishnt for the tree to maintain.
Jin handed this fruit to Elvy, Tren and a new kid who was just eight years old called Verlyn. This little girl was already talented and with the thousand-year-old Apricot Fruit, her talent will definitely compare to yan Yichen if not suppress him.
During his free ti, Jin also focused on sothing which he was not able to achieve all along. The rging of his soul power and spiritual energy and the rging of his soul born with his soul avatar.
No matter how hard he tries, he can’t achieve success no matter what. He was able to do that when he was fighting with the Vane clan youths but now, he was not able to do that. At that ti, he just thought that his soul avatar and his soul born might have a chance to rge and he succeeded but now the chances looked slim or not at all.
Jin also has no attack techniques. He just uses what Aion and his grandpa told him. Since his path is so difficult, he can’t find any inspiration. He rembered that his grandpa once told him that devouring doesn’t need to be a technique at all.
it can be anything at will. If he wants, it can beco water or fire. It can also beco a cultivation art of technique. It can be anything as long as it is controlled and looked at in that way. But Jin can’t understand at all.
His grandpa told him that he will understand this in the future.
_______________
Nox also spent his three years with Jin and he started to feel so positive feelings for this child. But he can’t na them. Unlike Aion, Nox was falling for Jin very slowly as he has many things to achieve and he can’t focus just on Jin.
Aion was different from Nox. After being freed himself from the shackles, Aion only had one thing to do and that was to recover but he was only able to do that because of Jin and this also caused him to establish a contract with Jin and spend his ti with Jin.
In all these years, Nox understood Jin completely but he didn’t dare to say that he knew Jin more than Aion because there is a fundantal relation between Aion and Jin which is not present between Jin and Nox.
They are more like best friends and Nox believes that. Nox looked at Jin who was sitting under the Ancient Tree with his eyes closed and he was serious. Jin already told him that he was going to contact his grandfather.
Nox was confused because Aion never told him the true background of Jin and he never asked Jin about his true background at all. He simply looked at Jin and sighed. He dared not to admit it but with Jin’s pure heart and innocence, Nox knew sowhere in his heart that he was falling for Jin.
