Is that a Wisp?

Heavin and Liriu could tell that the room was quite big, even with their low field of vision. However, the door to the room was still open, so the fused elemental energy continued to escape outside. Thanks to that, their fields of vision began to expand quite quickly. The room also had a lot of the faint blue crystal that radiated light, which helped them out.

However, Heavin and Liriu soon had to stop walking. Not because there was something barring them, but because of what appeared in the center of the room.

"There's a crystal large enough to transform into a crystal demon beast, be careful."

Heavin shook his head in response as he said.

"No, this one is different. It barely has any crystal spikes. It looks more like a sphere."

"Look at its bottom."

The base seemed to be supporting the crystal sphere in the middle of the room. As the room got clearer and clearer for the two of them, Heavin and Liriu noticed that the Sphere seemed to be constantly absorbing Spiritual Energy from the surroundings. In exchange, it was releasing the fused elemental energy.

"Is this thing alive like those Crystal Demon Beasts?"

"Probably. Take a look at the base with your Mental Energy. The five primary elements are passing through them and entering the crystal sphere. The sphere is also absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the surroundings. I think it's using Spiritual Energy to fuse the elements together, just like what Senior Lucio does."

Liriu noticed a problem, though.

"That may be the case. However, the amount of fused elemental energy that it releases doesn't match how much it's absorbing. Could it be..."

Heavin understood where Liriu was coming from.

"Yes. It's absorbing using the rest of the fused elements on itself. What we see coming out of the sphere is probably not up to the standard to be used."

Heavin then approached the crystal sphere. He tried to use his Divine Sense and Mental Energy on it before, but neither energies could see what was inside. He could only try and view it with his naked eye. Fortunately, the crystal was semi-transparent, so he could finally see after getting close enough. However...

"This... Is that what I think it is?"

Liriu became puzzled as he got close. Since there were no dangers around, he took the chance to return to his human form. Sure enough, he was taken aback.

"A female human?"

Their sight became even better as more fused elements escaped the room. Soon, they confirmed that it was really a human. Inside, a naked female body could be seen. Other than that, they could see that she was holding some kind of pitch-black sphere. In the end, what was absorbing the elements and Spiritual Energy from the surroundings was the sphere, not the woman. Instead, the woman seemed to be trapped inside for some reason.

Heavin pondered for a bit and then took his Dark Water out of the Spatial Ring. Sure enough, it immediately tried to break free from the glass and rush into the crystal where the black orb was located. Of course, Heavin held it back just like before.

"Hum... what should I do?"

Liriu then mentioned.

"Why don't we try to break her free from the crystal first? There's no point ogling at her forever, right?"

Heavin agreed with Liriu. He quickly put the Dark Water inside his Spatial Ring and used his Mental Energy to create several blades. Heavin did the same thing as the two of them began to slash the crystal sphere. However, they only had the chance to do it once. As soon as the first cut appeared in the crystal sphere, it began to shine with a powerful light.

Heavin and Liriu immediately retreated as they looked at what was happening.

*Crack, crack, crack...*

Several cracks began to appear on the surface. Soon, it spread through the entire crystal sphere.

*Shatter!*

Before they could do anything, the sphere shattered into thousands of pieces. Heavin and Liriu used their Spiritual Energy to hold the crystals back. The woman then floated in the middle of the room, not moving at all. If the Soren Ruins wasn't in the middle of outer space, she would have already fallen to the ground.

Heavin and Liriu looked at each other and nodded. Slowly, they approached the woman while keeping their guards high. However, nothing happened in the end. Liriu then helped her down as Heavin checked her body with Mental Energy.

"She seems to be unconscious. However, she's definitely alive."

Heavin then tried to take the Black Orb from her hands, but the woman seemed to be glued to it. It didn't matter how much he forced it. She didn't let it go. Heavin kept shaking the black orb until Liriu called his attention.

"Wait! She seems to be awakening."

Heavin immediately stopped as he looked at the girl. She opened her eyes slowly as her vision came back to her.

"I... Where am I?"

Suddenly, her dizzy eyes opened wide as she immediately tried to increase her distance from Heavin and Liriu. However, she immediately noticed that her cultivation was sealed.

"Hmph! Do you think that just because you sealed my cultivation, I won't be able to do anything to you?"

All of a sudden, a powerful Mental Energy spread in the room as several Mental Attacks came at Liriu and Heavin. The two, obviously, were shocked to see that.

However...

"Shatter!"

Heavin used a far stronger Mental Energy wave and shattered the woman's Mental Energy in a single go!

"Yo-You! Who are you?! How can you use Soul Manifestation?!"

Liriu and Heavin were as lost as the woman.

"Soul Manifestation, what's that? Are you talking about my Mental Energy?"

"Mental Energy?"

Liriu then looked at the woman, who was still being held by him. Heavin's Mental Energy was a lot more refined than her, so he wasn't afraid of her using it against him.

"Listen, woman. We have just arrived here. Also, it was us who saved you from that crystal sphere. I have no idea how your cultivation got sealed, but that wasn't us."

The woman narrowed her eyes as she looked at the two.

"Crystal sphere? What are you talking about?"

Heavin then compiled the entire event into a Divine Sense Message and sent it to her. The woman quickly paid attention to it and finally understood the situation she was in.

"This... Are you being serious?"

Heavin and Liriu nodded.

"Yes. Could it be that you don't remember being locked inside it?"

The woman shook her head.

"No... The last thing I can remember is the time when I grabbed this Black Sphere... Ah!"

She immediately let go of the Black Sphere as soon as she thought about it. Heavin, of course, didn't let the chance slip and grabbed it with his Spiritual Energy.

"Can you explain what this thing is? This Black Sphere was what was absorbing the Elements and Spiritual Energy from the surroundings while creating the fused elemental energy."

The woman didn't know what to think about the two. However, she was indeed powerless against them. If she didn't answer their questions, she might really die here.

"I found this Black Sphere here by coincidence. However, as soon as I touched it, I lost my consciousness. The next thing I knew, you two were in front of me. Trust me, I'm not hiding anything from you two."

Heavin nodded. He didn't completely trust her, but he didn't have a reason to doubt her either. The entire situation was just that weird.

"Also, how come you can use Mental Energy? This is something that I made myself. I'm sure that it was not spread around without my permission either."

In fact, Heavin was shocked by the woman's Mental Energy power. That's because her own Mental Energy was a lot stronger than his own. The reason why he could overwhelm her was that he was simply a lot more experienced with it.

'The way she used it was just like when I first discovered Mental Energy. It's obvious that she got this power not long ago. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to shatter her attack that easily.'

The woman pondered for a bit about the question when all of a sudden, her eyes opened wide.

"Wait! How's that possible...?"

Heavin and Liriu became puzzled as they looked at her shocked face.

"Is something wrong?"

The woman nodded.

"I can't understand. I know how to use Soul Manifestat- Oh, right. You call it Mental Energy. Anyway, I know how to use Mental Energy. However, I'm sure I didn't even know about its existence before finding the Black Orb. It's as if the knowledge suddenly appeared in my mind out of nowhere."

Heavin was taken aback after hearing that.

"Wait! You have a higher level of Soul Cultivation than me, and you don't even know how you got it?"

"Soul Cultivation?"

The woman pondered for a bit before nodding.

"I don't remember having cultivated anything. However, I can feel a new power inside my mind. It is just like the power in my dantian. Is it related to my Soul Cultivation Realm then?"

"Ah! That's why my cultivation is sealed. No, that's not the right way to put it. It's just that I shouldn't use Spiritual Energy the same way as before. Wait, how come I know that as well?"

Liriu noticed that this situation was going to take some time to resolve, so he offered.

"What about an introduction first? We can discuss it more after knowing each other. My name is Liriu."

Heavin nodded and followed.

"That's true. I'm called Heavin."

The woman looked at the two. Her cultivation was sealed, and her Mental Energy was useless against them, so she could only comply with their wishes.

"I'm Fura Mian."
