Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1087 Light Element

After hearing the hour-long lecture in history from Magus Urix, Emery entered the Light Institute's origin stone room with a new understanding of the elements, which he would soon comprehend further.

"Three days," said Emery to the acolyte staff that was attending the front table of the room.

He was given one day of use for free for being a member of the Light Institute and add two more days, which he naturally paid for.

[2000 contribution points has been taken]

It had been a while since the last time Emery entered an origin stone room, hence there was a little feeling of anticipation brewing within him.

Just like all the origin stone room at the other Magus Academy's institutes, it was a dark room with only enough lighting to see the floating stone located in the middle. Something that Emery noticed immediately upon entering, compared to the origin stone room at the other institutes, was the lack of acolyte inside the room.

This was only to be expected though; as the rarest element affinity among the acolytes, such a sight was actually not unusual.

Emery continued heading deeper into the room walking closer to the floating stone. If previously in the past he had a difficult time approaching it, this time Emery could walk comfortably until he arrived right in front of it. Just a few feet from the floating pure white stone.

Within that distance, the heavy sensation that formed at the back of his head due to the energy emitted by the stone began to affect his mind, therefore Emery quickly sat down and took up the lotus position.

Just like any other origin stone, as soon as he closed his eyes and delved into his consciousness, a vision entered his mind.

Emery quickly felt a sensation of weightlessness and floating in endless space, as he found himself gradually approaching a bright light. As he drew near, he could sense foreign energy.

Something that gives both a sense of mystery and majesty at the same time, something unnatural.

It didn't take long for Emery to finally 'stand' before the energy. There were no trees, water, earth, wind; no forms at all, nothing. Just one foreign energy.

One so mysterious that he found it extremely hard to comprehend.

If it wasn't for the lecture given by Magus Urix earlier, Emery would definitely have thought that he had failed to comprehend whatever was in front of him right now.

Then, as time passed, he slowly yet surely began to understand.

It was different from the other elements that were constructed out of natural form. The light element was a foreign one.

The light element could both be found in the 8 elements except darkness and also absent in all. But the true source of the light element was a divine heritage of the said 'God' that could be found in divine artifacts or forms, like the God Stone in the center of the Light Institute or the origin stone in front of him.

Facing such foreign yet majestic existence, the way to understand was not to probe into it.

But to listen.

Emery stood still within the vision, his gaze staring at the bright light as he opened his mind letting anything enter him.

"I am ready.. Guide me… I will listen."

As if a child receiving permission to play, it was at that moment that a surge of energy started to channel slowly into him and make its way to his spirit core.

It was neither warm nor cold, it was a peaceful feeling. A complete opposite to the one energy he felt from the Khaos space. Light energy, the exact opposite of dark.

[You gained a new understanding of the light elements]

[Spirit force has increased]

Emery breathed a sigh of relief as he finally succeeded in making the connection with the origin stone. But then, at the same time, he realized that one day had unknowingly passed, meaning he only had two days more to spend in this place.

Apparently, he was in such a deep trance that it made him completely lose track of time.

With time literally at the essence, Emery didn't hesitate any longer and took out his stash of [Spirit Foundation Pill] as he planned to take this opportunity to improve his understanding productively.

He had 60 of them and decided to take a few while continuing his cultivation.

Once again the vision, the majestic feeling of serenity entered his mind and gave him depth to the light element.

[Spirit force has increased]

Another day passed, and Emery only managed to gain an increase of one spirit force even though he had consumed four pills. However, what concerned him more was that while his nature core was brimming with new energy, the same couldn't be said to his dark core. It seemed to be restless.

"I should push for another day, one more day will do"

Taking advantage of the fact the connection with the origin stone was still fresh in his mind, Emery consumed more pills and spent another day comprehending the foreign energy of the light element.

As expected, his dark core started to turn chaotic to the point that Emery was forced to start chanting the [Dao Divine Technique] to stop the pain and ease the symptom.

However, It was actually not just because of the balance between the two cores changing. Instead, the culprit was the devour pillar. The arrivals of the light energy from the origin stone apparently stir his devour pillars.

Emery quickly felt an itching sensation all over his body, sweat starting to drip from his skin. The sensation forced him to stop his cultivation altogether, as it became intense quickly in no time.

The urges build up and could unleash anytime.

"No... I cannot continue staying here. I should deal with the urge first and return again later." Emery thought to himself, realizing the severity of the situation he was in.

Taking a deep breath, Emery consolidated his newly-gained energy and quickly stood up. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately shot towards the entrance of the room.

As soon as he exited, he was greeted by Magus Urix who was already waiting there and stopped him.

"Emery, good timing… My master, Grand Magus Aurora, told me to take care of you.. So what do you think? Do you need some more guidance?"

Emery turned to his privileged bracelet to see the current time. Realizing that he still had half a day before the scheduled meeting with Magus Shena, Emery thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

"Yes."
