Establishing the Wind Foundation

Not the first time that I got tongued by a spirit – that comes out wrong. I meant to say getting French-kissed by a spirit.

And I have certainly given my fair share of tonguing in the past (now that comes out right).

Of course, it is not quite like this, as I prefer the other lips.

Much more tastier down there with all the rich dripping nectars.

It is all about the taste, and every-body has a different taste. As a glutton myself, I take great pleasure in enjoying new sensation wherever they could be found. It is more or less the same reason as to why I am interested in the dishes of this era.

Delicious new tastes? Yes please. Just thinking about all the bounties waiting to be harvested out there while having a party on my tongue is just way too damn irresistible.

Once Li Zhu pulls away from my lips and swallows my gift, her aura shifts into a shade of deep red – a deeper shade than Kumo from just before. This is likely due to her will being weaker than Kumo even though she has much higher spiritual power.

While weaker will is good for me, it is somewhat of a disappointment. Having such incredible spiritual potential but not the experience or the knowledge to full use of it, is considered a waste.

And honestly, if Li Zhu and Kumo were to merge, their overall combat prowess is far greater than them combining.

I rather not reach them Spiritual Polymerization. At least not until I have completely dominated their will to the point that they cannot refuse me regardless of whatever I want.

"This is what you want, isn't it, my master?" An unpleasant memory surfaces in my mind, and I quickly dismiss it. It will not be the same as before, for I was young and tend to overdo thing. Dominating their will to the point of breaking is not a good idea.

In any case, my attention turns towards Zhao Yao. More correctly to say, I am currently interested in the pendant around her neck. The greatest prize is there. Although, I would consider Zhao Yao a great prize too.

Kumo and Li Zhu as well. I have plenty of love to give. Just not the time to give it to them all. Not right now, anyway.

"You are curious," I comment and glance at Kumo. I can feel what she is feeling thanked to the contract between us. Our connection is far greater than a simple contract. For one, she cannot lie to me. Well, she could, but I would know instantly without resorting to other methods and means.

The Eyes of the Beholder can also detect lies through subtle body changes and micro expressions.

"Yes… master," Kumo answers, as she understands her place. She is far more mature than Li Zhu, who is still immersed within the blood aura, and she would be for a while. "How are you able to touch me?"

Kumo is a spirit, and because of that, I should not be able to touch her, at least not why my body. I can touch her with my spirit, but since I have not reached Spiritual Realm, I cannot manifest my spirit.

And if I did, everyone will be scared shitless.

Not just everyone. And it will create quite a shitstorm for the Mortal Coil if I wandered about with just my spiritual form. There is a reason that even Divine Emperors do not throw away their original body even if they can create new ones at will.

"Let's just say that I have magic hands," I answer Kumo and grope her chest with the hand around her waist. In spite of that, Kumo expresses no emotion whatsoever. She is not very impressed, at my action and my answer.

"But you will find that out for yourself," I add with a smile. "Not now though, as I have more important things than the enjoyment of sinful pleasure. You may possess Zhao Yao again, but you are not allowed to suppress her mind anymore."

Kumo is surprised. "You would allow me to possess her?"

"Yes. It saves me the trouble of creating a perfect shell for your spirit, but I will in the future since I do want to experience the real you in every position," I answer, surprising Kumo once more.

If creating a physical form with proper cultivation physiques for a spirit was that easy, everyone would be doing it. And for a spirit to form a real body, it has reached maturity. Having a body will allow them to interact with the realms outside the Spiritual World.

More than that, it allows them to cultivate beyond the Spiritual Phrase.

While there is no limit to the spiritual power a spirit can gather, the quality of their spiritual energy is also important. Reaching higher cultivation realms allows those who were originally spirits, to become more than what the Heaven decides for them at birth.

Cultivation is all about defying the Will of the Heaven, and Heaven will reward those who manages to do so.

"You can create a –?

"You are asking too much questions, Kumo," I interrupt. "Questions that you should not now the real answers to. It is not because I want you to remain ignorance. It is simply for your own good, as those knowledges are beyond your comprehension. Now, do what you are told. Or shall I take out my rod?"

"I apologize, master," Kumo responses and removes herself from my lap when I remove my hand. She then flies towards Zhao Yao and disappears into the girl's body.

It takes a moment for Kumo to take control of Zhao Yao once more, and she pulls herself off the ground with one smooth motion.

And while that is happening, the blood aura around Li Zhu diminishes and fades away. As her natural aura returns, she snaps out of it and blinks repeatedly. "Master?"

I pat my lap, telling Li Zhu to sit so I can examine briefly my newest acquisition, and Li Zhu understands without my saying it out loud. This is due to the connection we share.

Zhao Yao bows and removes the pendant around her neck, handing it over to me with both hands. As one of my hands is busy, I accept it with my other hand.

"Do you know what this is, Kumo?" I question as I remove the wind stone from the pendant and place it between two fingers for the spider spirit to see.

"Please forgive me my lack of knowledge, master. I am not exactly sure. I do sense some natural energy radiating from the item, but it is very miniscule. Perhaps is a fragment of a Spirit Stone?"

Spirit Stones are basically currency. It has more uses to cultivator than just currency, however.

I chuckle. "Even with all the Spirit Stone in the world, you cannot buy this. It is called a Wind Stone. It is a primordial stone, and there is only one in all the realm."

And that is because only one can truly transcend beyond the God Phrase, entering Primordial Phrase.

Once that happens, all the Primordial Stones will reform into the world for the next person to find and break through the Heaven.

Kumo gasps faintly. She does not fully understand my explanation, but she understands that the Wind Stone is one of a kind. It is as valuable as a Sacred Treasure. No. Even more so since there are actually quite a lot of Sacred Treasures lying around.

Perhaps, it is as valuable as Diviners. True Weapons of the Gods. But no spirit has ever seen a Diviner and lives to tell the tales.

"I cannot fathom something like that, master," Kumo utters.

"Never do I, at least until I was told they exists. Only then, I could find them, and it took me a very long time to acquire all the elementary elemental stones. The rest still alludes me," I mutter as one of rings shimmers.

The blood stone within has heard me.

"Zhao Yao. You are to defend me until I awaken," I tell Zhao Yao and then pay attention to Li Zhu who is gasping. She is very sensitive since I have used my will to make her reacts to my touch. I allow Li Zhu to enjoy my magic hands a bit longer before letting her of my lap. "You too, Li Zhu."

I note the wet patch on my lap with a sheepish grin before ingesting the Wind Stone without hesitation. It is long overdue to establish my first foundation.

A billion years late, but it is better late than never!
