Chapter 795 Path To Origin (Part 3)

??"It will be difficult..." Evan said, gazing at a water pond that was around two kilometres in diameter.

In the middle of the pond, a small silver coloured lotus flower was blooming, radiating high spiritual power.

The name of the silver lotus was Soul Lotus, and it was a Mid Level Rank Three flower. Just by refining this flower, a normal beginner level Rank One Core Evolver can boost their spiritual power to the peak of Rank One.

Evan was currently a mid level Rank One Core Evolver, but his spiritual power was already slightly higher than that of a Peak Rank One Core Evolver. He was sure that by refining the Soul Lotus, he would be able to push his spiritual power to the Beginner Level of Rank Two.

But the problem was that it was not easy to collect the Soul Lotus, which was a Rank Three Treasure. The Soul Lotus was a spiritual flower with a high level of spirituality.

Besides spiritual power, it was highly sensitive to any other foreign energy, and if Evan tried to get close to it, the lotus would immediately release all of its stored spiritual power into the atmosphere and wither.

The only way to collect the Soul Lotus flower was to use your spiritual energy and form a bond with its spirituality. Once you form a bond with it using your spiritual power, it won't wither when you try to collect it.

But in order to form a bond with the Soul Lotus, you needed to have spiritual power equivalent to that of a mid level Rank Two Core Evolver. Evan's spiritual power was high—way higher than that of any other person in the same rank, but even then, it was impossible for him to collect the lotus with his current spiritual power.

He could collect the lotus by using the Shadow Possession skill, as his spiritual power would definitely reach mid level Rank Two if he merged himself with Brown or any other beginner level Rank Two Shadow Undead.

However, Evan wasn't willing to use the Shadow Possession skill here. It had been more than twenty-four hours since he left the plain grounds, and he already noticed that there were many individuals and monsters in the mountain range who were moving in the groups. He needed to keep the Shadow Possession skill just in case he found himself in a dangerous situation.

"Only if I had a mid-level Rank Two Shadow Undead..." Evan muttered in an annoyed voice, feeling frustrated that he couldn't create a mid-level Rank Two Shadow Undead because of his low rank.

As Evan looked at the silver lotus glowing in the middle of the pond, something clicked in his mind.

"Maybe... Just maybe," He said and took out a small bead sized triangle shaped object from his pocket.

The small triangle-shaped object was obviously the Soul Beacon that he had created using the fifty souls of the beginner-level Rank One monsters.

As Evan looked at the Beacon closely, he only felt concentrated spiritual power inside it.

"It should be doable," He said, looking at the Beacon and took a deep breath. He glanced at the silver-coloured lotus in the middle of the pond and threw the beacon towards it.

The moment Evan threw the beacon towards the lotus, the lotus reacted and started to shake. Evan's heart skipped a beat when he saw the lotus's reaction, but luckily, the lotus didn't immediately release its spiritual power into the atmosphere, thinking that the concentrated spiritual power that was approaching it wanted to form a bond with it.

In less than a second, the small beacon arrived in the proximity of the soul lotus, and the lotus finally realized something was wrong with the concentrated spiritual power approaching it.

When the beacon was just a meter away from the lotus, the flower sensed that the concentrated spiritual power approaching it was a mix of tens of different kinds of spiritual power, as if someone had merged many different kinds of souls into one.

Upon realizing something was amiss, the lotus wanted to release all of its power into the atmosphere and self-destruct, but before it could do so, the soul beacon flashed, and Evan appeared just above the lotus. His eyes were flashing with hazy white light, indicating he was using the Temporal Velocity skill, which increased his agility by 30%.

As Evan appeared above the lotus, he noticed how the lotus had already started to release its spiritual power into the atmosphere.

Because of the Temporal Velocity skill, Evan watched everything in slow motion, but even then, the speed at which the lotus was releasing its spiritual power was astonishing.

"Don't be such an asshole," Evan cursed when he saw how fast the lotus was releasing its spiritual power, and in one swift motion, he plucked it and threw it into his shadow storage.

From throwing the soul beacon to storing away the soul lotus, all of these events happened in just a second, but even then, when Evan looked at the Soul Lotus inside his shadow storage, he noticed it had successfully released nearly five percent of its spiritual power into the atmosphere.

"Although five percent is a lot, I should still be able to push my spiritual power to beginner Level Rank Two using its remaining power," Evan said to himself as he retrieved the soul beacon that had dropped into the pond.

After collecting the soul beacon, Evan returned to the shore and spoke in a cold voice while looking in a certain direction that was filled with trees.

"Now that I have already collected the lotus, why don't you guys come out?"

For the first few seconds, there was no movement in the direction Evan was looking, but soon, the trees in that area started to shake.

Evan's expression remained unchanged when he saw this, and after a few seconds, five individuals with pitch-black skin and tall bodies emerged from behind the trees.
