16 I have a brilliant memory you know!

Lucas stretched his limbs and stood up. Glancing around, it felt like only a moment had passed, although he knew it had been months. He helped Felicity to her feet and noticed her tattered clothes. Without hesitation, he produced a luxurious robe from his storage magic and offered it to her.

Felicity gasped in awe, staring at him in disbelief. Such an action was not possible for someone at a lower cultivation base.

"Lucas, may I ask what your cultivation base is?" she asked, wondering if her eyes were playing tricks on her or if her cultivation base had regressed after being reset.

Lucas realized he had made a mistake by revealing his true power. He smacked his forehead in frustration and replied with a hint of nervousness in his voice, "I'm at the third level of the Warrior Spirit Realm. Why do you ask?"

Felicity was left speechless for a moment, processing this information. "Did you just use mystical arts? How is that possible at the Warrior Spirit Realm?"

Lucas looked down and hesitated, "I've already told you, I'm not from here. I'm not normal, you know." He couldn't meet her gaze as he spoke, his thoughts racing with confusion about the different terminology and practices in this world.

Felicity studied Lucas for a moment, then nodded in understanding. "I see. That explains your aura of power. Sorry for asking." She paused, then continued, "So, where should we go now? And thank you for the clothes, by the way."

Lucas thought for a moment. He hadn't given much thought to their destination. "How about you decide?" he said with a smile. "I'm just going with the flow. I don't have a plan, to be honest."

Felicity was taken aback. "You're one of those rogue cultivators who just drift along, aren't you? Can you tell me when you started cultivating, so I can figure out what you need to do next? After all, I did offer to help you ascend."

Lucas rubbed his chin, trying to remember. "I think it's been about a month and a week now..."

Felicity's eyebrows furrowed as she tried to calculate his progress, but then her expression changed to one of disbelief. "What? That quickly? You're not lying, are you?"

Lucas chuckled, shrugging his shoulders. "I guess you could call it a talent?" He feigned ignorance, but inside he was ecstatic. The rapid progress he was making was due to his absorption body, which allowed him to utilize everything he gained in his previous world.

"Wow, amazing!" Felicity exclaimed, but inside she felt inferior to Lucas. It took her months to reach the peak of the first stage, but Lucas had casually mentioned that it only took him a week and a month. 'How could he achieve that so quickly? I was sleeping right next to him!'

Lucas raised an eyebrow and gazed at Felicity, who was lost in thought. He snapped his fingers in front of her and asked, "Hey, are you okay?"

Felicity jolted and replied, "Oh! Yes, I'm fine. Let's focus on finding some resources. There are some monsters in this area, but they're not at your level since they're only near the peak of the Apprentice stage. So, hunting them wouldn't benefit your cultivation."

Lucas was shocked. Did all his efforts go to waste? He asked in disbelief, "So, you're saying that all my effort was for nothing? What should I do with these 'trash' monsters?"

"Even though they're not useful for your cultivation, we can sell them in exchange for some coins," Felicity explained. "And you don't have any martial techniques yet, so we'll buy one or I'll teach you one."

Lucas was surprised. "How do you know that I don't have any martial techniques?"

Felicity smiled, "I'm currently at the peak of the Emperor Spirit Realm. That's the least I could achieve by reducing my cultivation base. However, I still know a person who has a martial technique. I hope I am not judging you, but I know you don't have one."

Lucas was speechless. Felicity was the strongest cultivator in the Mortal Realm and the most knowledgeable expert in this realm.

"You are right about that. But let me ask you. What are your plans for ascending in the next ten years?" Lucas asked.

"I have a plan, but it's not really a plan," Felicity replied with a warm smile. "We'll ascend together. That's all. There's not much to worry about in this realm. It will be easy for you to ascend, we just need resources."

Lucas raised an eyebrow in excitement. "That's reasonable, but at the same time, not. So, let's sell this 'trash' first?"

Felicity nodded confidently. "Yes. From what I remember, there's a famous city for trading here in this Heaven."

Lucas was surprised by Felicity's knowledge. Though he knew that she had visited here during her training days, he wondered how long ago that was.

He stared at her, deep in thought. "How old are you?"

Felicity stiffened and her voice became tight. "That's a rude question to ask!"

"I'm sorry," Lucas said, holding up his hands in surrender. "I was just curious about when the last time you visited here was, and how you still remember such information."

Felicity relaxed a bit. "I-I have a brilliant memory, you know! Who said I can't remember even if this place is two heavens below my home?"

Lucas chuckled. "Well, forgive me then. So, where's that city?"

Felicity shot him a mock-irritated look. "Are you in a hurry?"

Lucas shrugged. "Not at all. I just wanted to test your memory." He grinned.

Felicity couldn't help but smile at his easy-going personality. She didn't expect someone with a noble aura to be so playful.

"It's called Morning Sun City," she said.

"Are you sure it still exists?" Lucas asked skeptically, considering the possibility that the information was outdated.

"I'm not sure," Felicity replied. "But it depends on the cultivation world. Not much has changed geographically since cultivators have long lifetimes."

"That makes sense," Lucas said. "So, should we head there right away?"

"Not yet," Felicity replied. "You need to have some monster cores to aid your cultivation first."

Lucas's lip twitched as he nodded in agreement. "Got it. You're a great teacher, thanks."

"It's my job," Felicity said with a shrug. "I'll go scout the area to locate where the Warrior Stages reside."

As Felicity spoke, Lucas pondered how she could accomplish such a task. He figured there must be a method for it, but since he was unfamiliar, he thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

"How do you plan on doing that? I mean, with scouting the area?"

"I'll use Celestial Sense," Felicity explained. "Once you reach a certain level of cultivation, you can try learning it. It allows me to see everything within a 10,000 km radius."

"The distance that Felicity could survey was bewildering, but for Lucas, it was within his reach as well. If he hadn't sealed his core for preservation, he might have been able to see the entire world with ease by utilizing his abilities.

Despite his tendency to play it safe, Lucas had taken a few risks that turned out to be worthwhile.

A few minutes later, Felicity finished examining the area within her range. She turned to Lucas and asked, "Can you fly? I bet you can, and I wouldn't be surprised if you do. Saving me was quite a daring feat."

Lucas nodded in response to her question, and when Felicity confirmed his ability, she sighed.

"You have some tricks up your sleeve. Let's go. I know where the area is, follow me." She said, before soaring into the air.

Lucas followed her willingly, using his flight magic powered by his "third energy." Although he didn't have a specific name for it, he referred to it as "third energy" because it wasn't necessary to give it a label for now.
