Chapter 76 - When they meet.

Annoyance was all over Long Sha's face. He didn't understand the woman in front of him; she was right; they got a very precious piece of information, the power to manipulate or control space. A rare and scary ability, if they faced him without knowing that, then they would have been at a massive disadvantage.

"At first, I used to think that the swords he used in battle were too fast for me to notice. Now I am sure; it wasn't that they were too quick. But they teleported."

Gui Sha widened his eyes for a second, "When I fought him, the swords appeared inside the gate; I thought it was weird, it true he can teleport them."

A worried look flashed in Long Sha's eyes; everything was out of control. It didn't matter that Glory City was fighting against Abyss Demon Realm, as long as that guy was alive. They might not be able to invade Glory City again.

Shen Xiu glanced at them, "I want you to start collecting poison, all types of poison, the strongest, the weakest."

Gui Sha glared at her, "do you want to poison him?"

Shen Xiu shrugged, "the only way that I can think of killing him."

"Why weak poisons?" Long Sha asked; if she wanted to poison him, then the strongest would do.

Shen Xiu knew he was suspicious, she smiled widely, "Unlike you, I will be the one to poison him. With that demon spirit of his, I don't want to take a risk. I will make sure to push all those poisons down his throat. One of them will kill him."

Nearly the walls,

Miyuki was giggling, "She is so mad at you."

'I can't really blame her.'

"You should stop treating her like that, or she will break down." Miyuki could tell that Shen Xiu was reaching her limits. If things went on like this, she would break.

'Don't worry about that. I'll think of something.'

At this moment, Ziyun started moving around.

Everyone looked at her as she slowly opened her eyes; Miyuki flew and sat down next to her, "Awake sleepyhead?"

Ziyun moved around for a bit before taking a deep breath, "Miyuki-jiemie?"

Miyuki pushed the hair away from her forehead, stroking it, "Yeah!"

"What happened?" she remembered last she was fighting the enemy when everything turned black.

"You fainted," Miyuki said, when everyone else started retreating when they got tired, they made Ziyun fight more. They wanted to draw out every last bit of her demon spirits powers. As a result, she fought till she fainted.

Miyuki wanted to keep her close, so they put her bed on Tatsuya's shoulder. Earning her a strange reputation.

Ziyun raised her body, looking around. She was startled after she noticed where she was. A blush appeared on her face, "I...I."

Miyuki smiled, "It's all right, don't worry."

Ziyun tightly closed her eyes. It was so embarrassing, sleeping in front of everyone. Especially; when there was a war going on.

Soon, she got the hang of reality and looked towards the battlefield with confusion, "what is going on?"

"let me explain," Ning'Er started explaining.

Yu Yan was frowning for a while now.

'Why are you so worried?' Tatsuya's voice echoed in her ears.

Yu Yan had restored around 30% of her strength; the power she wielded was far higher than any legend of demigod around. Her spiritual sense was also that much more powerful. She asked, "there is a demon beast that seems to have awakened spiritual wisdom, but it is not attacking."

'It is probably waiting for my stamina to run out; now, it has another reason to wait.' He looked towards the Legend Rank Abyss Demon, which was trapped by the swords.

'It will probably wait for another day or two before his patience runs out. Then either it will launch an all-out attack or run away.'

In Alchemy Association,

The whole place was bustling; because of the beast tide, demand for pills had drastically increased. Even Yang Xin herself was busy making pills. Although because of her rank, she could create far more than anyone else, it wasn't enough, "How much stock do we have left?" she asked her attendant.

"Two days, we might barely survive two days."

Yang Xin looked glum; they didn't keep many pills in storage. With the increase in the cultivation of citizens. The number that joined the dojo and became a food hunter also increased. They also decreased the price by ten times, making it a viable option for such people to purchase.

They were barely able to keep up with the demands on an ordinary day, now the situation was even worse.

"Inform Tatsuya that we can't hold on for two days."

After the attendant disappeared, Yang Xin looked at the furnace in front of her and whispered, "I hope you know what you are doing."

On the battlefield,

Ziyun created massive icicles in the air before throwing them towards the abyss lava demons and snow wind demonic beasts in front of her.

Tens of icicles pierced the numerous demon beasts running towards her.

Ziyun, who saw this scene bit her lips unsatisfied; she used even more soul force in hopes to strengthen icicles, but it was useless.

No matter how hard she tried, nothing changed.

Sweat started to cover her body; she started breathing heavily. Her eyes began to become hazy.

'Come back.'

She heard him, this was the third time he was asking her to go back, but she didn't want to.

She didn't want to admit it, but she was weak when compared to others.

She was weaker than Nie Li, than Ning'Er, and too weak to compare to Miyuki, let alone Tatsuya.

When Miyuki taught her, she showed her how to control the power of ice, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't do it.

She knew she had reached her limits; she wanted to try harder. She hoped to break these limits. Maybe then...

A hand wrapped around her from behind; she was startled; when she looked back, she saw Miyuki hugging her from behind.

"!!"

"Doing this won't help; come back."

"But, I..." want to get stronger. That is what Ziyun wanted to say, but no words came out. She looked down, dejected.

When they came back, Ning'Er was on the bed half-awake, yawning. It had been nearly a day; not doing anything was hard. Now she was bored and sleepy, and some part of her wanted to go there and fight too.

When she saw the discouraged look on Ziyun's face, she couldn't help but be curious, "what happened?"

Ziyun glanced at her, meekly shook her head.

She didn't want to acknowledge that she was jealous. She had seen Miyuki control Shiva's powers and Ning'Er control Garuda's.

She wanted to use her powers the same way, but she couldn't.

She lay down on the bed, covering her head with a blanket.

Miyuki looked at her with a smile before looking at Yu Yan, "do you know why Ziyun can't use her powers more freely?"

Yu Yan looked at them exasperated as if she didn't believe Miyuki was asking that, "that is how things normally are. You are the weird one who can use their powers so freely."

Ziyun's body twitched inside the blanket.

Ning'Er glanced at them curiously; "I can also use them freely?"

Yu Yan nodded in agreement, "that is what I am saying; you three are weird ones that could use your power freely. My guess is that it has something to do with a small amount of divinity in your demon spirit. You can use your abilities like a demigod or spiritual gods would. Those demon spirits aren't just demon spirits; they are part of the law from other subsidiary realms. Once you come in contact with enough Law Energy, I suspect that there might be some big changes in that demon spirit of yours."

Inside the blanket, Ziyun pouted before closing her eyes. She knew how precious was such a demon spirit. She couldn't just ask for one, but that didn't stop her from sulking since she wasn't the first choice.

Ning'Er, on the other hand, had tightened her fist, trying to hide her happiness and excitement.

Miyuki blinked her eyes; she glanced at Ziyun under hiding in the blanket and sighed. She didn't think Yu Yan would have the answer to her question. Usually, she never knew anything; and always said I don't know.

It seems she underestimated a spiritual god.

'Does that mean, if we become a spiritual god through the elements of our demon spirits, then it won't be one of the thirty-six spiritual gods of Main Plane?' Tatsuya asked. He felt this was troublesome in other ways.

Yu Yan confidently replied, "Yes!"

Miyuki knit her brows in worry, "That might make things troublesome."

Ziyun pulled the blanket down just below her eyes and gazed at Miyuki curiously. Ning'Er tilted her head, "what trouble?"

"There are only 72 positions for the spiritual gods; every subsidiary plane has a unique element. Like the abyss demon in front of you, they are from the Abyss realm, which is filled with the Law of Abyss, and only an Abyss Spiritual God could be born in that realm." She saw everyone following her before continuing.

"Now I will be able to master, Fire, Ice, Water, maybe weather or storm, if laws like that exist. But, what would happen if I meet the Spiritual Gods of these elements?"
