First Meditation in the Spirit Realm

Nicos sat on the bed in his room in a meditation posture. At this moment, his hood has been pulled down allowing his pure silky white hair to fall freely to his back increasing his attractiveness by a few points. The three Spirit beasts sat quietly around the foot of them with their eyes close which make it look like they are taking a nap but in actuality, they are absorbing the Spirit Essence in the atmosphere.

Nicos has been in this position ever since he got into the room, he took no time to rest and immediately went into meditation to absorb the Spirit Essence in the atmosphere. Absorbing the Spirit Essence in the Spirit Realm result being easier for him to do, this is so because his mother has explained the process of doing it to him and after doing it ever since he was young, it has become second nature to him and come as easy as breathing.

But he discovered that the Essence in the Spirit Realm is so dense compared to Silversky city not to mention Forgotten Region. The moment he cleared his mind to absorb the Spirit Essence, he found out that his rate of absorption is very fast and easy as if his body has been calibrated to the optimal state for absorbing the Spirit Essence.

Knowing that there is someone who is already at Tier 3 Spirit Nebula Realm at the age of 16 got him more fired up, though he knows that he is starting late compared to others, which did not dampen his Spirit. He is sure that having his Spirit root revived his giving him another lease of life and for something to cause this level of change in him means there's a lot that is yet to be uncovered.

For one to start their journey of improving their Spirit Avatar strength, they have to make sure they form an Essence pond in their lower abdomen, the Essence pond serves as the foundation for further improvement of their Spirit Avatar, how deep and wide the Essence pond determine the Realm they will their Spirit Avatar will be able to reach.

Someone of an A rank might not be able to exhibit the strength associated with his Tier while someone with a C rank profession might be able to outclass someone with a higher profession rank, this is because the foundation of their Essence pond determines the improvement of the profession.

The higher the profession, the more demand for a deeper and strong Essence pond, which is why it is said that there is no weak profession rank. If someone with a stronger and deeper Essence pond, and only C rank profession, the person will be able to dive deeper into the development of their profession because they have a strong foundation that will allow them to do so.

Having a higher rank profession can be a burden if the foundation is not strong enough, they won't be able to unleash the full potential of their profession.

Nicos has been meditating for some time now, but if someone can see what is going on inside of him, they will be shocked out of their wit. The Spirit Essence has already formed a whirlpool around him on the outside, though gentle and didn't cause any disturbance, but on the inside, it is like pouring water into the abyss.

The creation of his Essence pond seems to be taking more time than expected, though forming the Essence pond is not usually something that is done in a day, but considering that Nicos is absorbing the Spirit Essence at a beyond reasonable rate, it is expected that his Essence pond should be taking shape by now.

Drifting above the place where his Essence pond should be, is a Spirit body sitting on a lotus platform with pure white petals flowing around the Spirit body. His condition is unprecedented – same as his decayed Spirit root.

For every beginner, what they have in their lower abdomen is their Spirit root which will then take root in the Essence pond they formed to further the journey of their Spirit Avatar. That's why the formation of the Essence pond is very crucial because the quality of the Essence pond determines the pathway for further development.

Having a Spirit body in place of the Spirit root is so outside the norms and no one will know if it is a blessing or a curse, but to Nicos, it doesn't really matter, as long as it is not a decayed root, then it's a blessing.

Nicos continue to absorb the Spirit Essence into his body to form his Essence pond, no matter how long it takes, he will make sure to accomplish it. Following the predetermined pathway in his body, the Spirit Essence continues to flow into his lower abdomen to form his Essence pond.

Unknowingly, patterns begin to form on his body everywhere the Spirit Essence passes through, lighting up his skin and forming nodes at specific places in his body that connect the patterns. What is happening to him now is similar to when someone at Tier 3 wants to advance to Tier 4.

To advance to Tier 4, Spirit Nodes must be formed in specific places in the Spirit Avatar body to be able to advance, the difference between someone advancing to Tier 4 and what's happening to Nicos now is that to advance to Tier 4, the Spirit Nodes are not must but just as big as the big toe and the minimum amount of node to form to advance to Tier 4 is 8 nodes, but the nodes forming on Nico's skins are multiple times more than the nodes need to advance to Tier 4, another thing is that the nodes are small and the light they emit is that of stardust, blinking in and out at random intervals.

This may be due to the change that occurs on his body in the Special pocket space and more is yet to be found out. As he continues to absorb the Spirit Essence, his body and hair begins to glow more in and out and more pattern continue to form making his body seem like a star field
