The Enigmatic Orbs: Li Wei's Forest Dilemma

Li Wei was filled with fear and nervousness, not knowing what to do. His voice sounded so different that it was difficult for him to accept that it was his.

"It can't be," he thought, imagining all the problems he could face if this were real.

Time passed and when I least expected it everything returned to normal. His skin regained its blue tone and his eyes returned to their usual color.

"Thank God," he sighed in relief.

But then an idea occurred to him. "What if I can control it my way?"

He felt afraid thinking about it and thought, "I don't have the courage, I don't have the courage," like a child throwing a tantrum.

Minutes passed and nothing happened.

"So, that's not the way. This only happened when I used spiritual energy, so maybe I should try it with normal energy," he said to himself.

As he tried to use his energy, he took a deep breath and felt it absorbed into his skin, penetrating his body and reaching his soul.

As he cultivated, his skin and eyes once again gained a purple glow.

He opened his eyes slowly, and to his surprise (although not much), his assumption was correct.

"It can't be," he thought, with a mixture of astonishment and despair. "Will I have to become a woman every time I cultivate?"

He burst into an internal tantrum, like a child who refuses to accept a disturbing reality.

This made him think about what had happened. He didn't want to become a woman every time he cultivated, and that's exactly what had happened.

"It can't be," he lamented to himself, feeling trapped in a situation he hadn't sought. "How can I control this? Is it possible to maintain my male form without it changing every time I cultivate?"

Uncertainty plagued him as he tried to understand the nature of his strange transformation. Would it be possible to find a way to prevent his appearance from constantly changing?

Li Wei continued to explore his ability to change, and an hour later he realized that he could change at will by accessing his soul.

With the ability to maintain his female or male form as he desired while cultivating, Li Wei began to deepen his connection to the Soul, the beginning and end of every being, and what sustains existence itself. As he delved deeper into his understanding, he began to speculate that in one of his past lives he had been a woman.

This revelation shed light on his strange transformation, and Li Wei realized that he might have inherited fragments of past experiences through his soul. This would explain why he could change gender when cultivating, since his soul housed those memories and traits.

Li Wei realized that he could maintain the female form without the need to cultivate.

While this raised more questions about his mysterious reincarnation and the nature of his soul, it also gave him a unique perspective on his own identity. Li Wei knew that he would have to further explore his connection to the Soul to fully understand his past and unlock his potential in the present.

With this new understanding, Li Wei began to ponder what to do.

He continued to cultivate until he felt a sensation he had not felt in a long time: advancement in cultivation.

He had reached the level of "Starting Monster", where monsters had enhanced strength and heightened senses. He also noticed that he had grown a little more.

He suppressed the urge to scream but was internally ecstatic. He placed his hands on the bars and the spiritual energy that had previously tried to keep him captive was powerless against him. His enhanced strength easily separated the two bars.

He suddenly felt a sense of absorption, the energy from the bars being absorbed into his Soul.

If this was true as he had demonstrated, it would be great, why could he quickly advance in cultivation level?

Looking out a window, he jumped out and scanned his surroundings. He was in a mansion surrounded by a forest, with a road leading to a lively looking city.

"I could have stayed with that girl," he thought. "But if there is someone more powerful who can see through me easily, they would be suspicious."

The window was high and he couldn't jump out directly.

Li Wei jumped towards a second sale that was lower and it was from there that he jumped directly. He landed gracefully on the ground. It was located on the outskirts of an imposing mansion surrounded by a dense forest. He looked toward the city in the distance, but knew he couldn't head there without attracting unwanted attention.

He decided to venture into the forest, distancing himself from civilization and humans who might consider him a threat or a cultivation target. As he moved through the trees, he began to explore his new surroundings.

The forest was full of life and Li Wei encountered several creatures, some of which were lower level monsters. They weren't a threat to him, but they represented opportunities for him to grow stronger.

Li Wei fought against some of these monsters, using his newly acquired skills to defeat them efficiently. Upon defeating these creatures, he noticed that they were emitting small orbs of spiritual energy. He remembered what he had learned about spiritual energy during his time in captivity.

He decided to absorb these orbs to become even stronger. He took his time to learn how to do it efficiently, as his soul had the ability to absorb spiritual energy and purify it.

As his adventure in the forest continued, Li Wei realized that his journey was far from over. As he explored this unknown world, he wondered about the challenges and mysteries that awaited him. Where would his search for answers and power take him?

But he soon realized that it was not a good idea to be absorbing the orbs in the middle of the forest, so he took some time to find shelter. It took him a while, but he finally found something.

He found a small cave that was quite spacious, larger than a 5'10" human but not much larger. Inside he found a wolf that was at an Elemental level, in a deplorable state and with wounds all over its body. He seemed to have been attacked by several beasts at once.

He did not think twice; I could take this opportunity to kill him and collect his orb.
