Chapter 840: Grandmist Energy



'Master, tell me more about you and Mister Vanitas,' Henrietta requested.

'How did you manage to find his reincarnations throughout the billion years you lived after his first death? It shouldn't have been easy, right? Did you ever stop to think it was too much and wanted to give up?'

'How were you able to keep going like that?' Henrietta asked.

'My dear disciple, we were dual cultivation partners for thousands of years with no one else but each other. It wasn't wrong to say that we were one part of each other. We were connected on a spiritual level,' Empyrean Scarletsea stated.

'When your soul is close to another person like that, you'll realize that you will have the ability to sense wherever they are, no matter where they are. I relied precisely on that vague sense to track down Vanitas's reincarnating soul throughout the cosmos.'

'Alas, even with this vague ability, it hadn't always been easy. Sometimes, it could take thousands of years. Other times, it could even take millions of years,' Empyrean Scarletsea sighed.

Shortly after, she mentioned, 'You asked me how I could keep searching even when I have to watch Vanitas die each time, but the right question should be-Why couldn't I stop searching?'

'What couldn't you stop, Master?' Henrietta asked.

'Because if I had stopped, Vanitas's reincarnations would die even more frequently. He was able to live close to a hundred years under my protection. But without it, he wouldn't even reach adulthood. Sometimes, maybe not even past infancy,' Empyrean Scarletsea stated.

She only knew because she had been slightly late at least a few dozen times. Those instances were the worst of all her search attempts.

Henrietta couldn't help but feel deeply shocked.

'How could such a cruel fate follow Mister Vanitas so persistently? Just what did he do to deserve such cruelty from the heavens? Even the most sinful beings in the world wouldn't be condemned to such short lives, right?' Henrietta wondered with doubt.

'There was a time when I wondered the same thing, my dear disciple,' Empyrean Scarletsea sighed before saying, 'However, one thing I don't doubt is Vanitas's inherently good nature.' 'I have seen it far too many times. Even without his past memories, his reincarnations would never sin without justifiable cause. As such, he couldn't possibly have such a sinful past life.' 'It can only be said that the heavens do not tolerate his existence. That must be why they trapped him in a cruel cycle of endless reincarnations,' Empyrean Scarletsea figured.

'Do you hate the heavens for that, Master?' Henrietta wondered.

'Hate? Hate might be an understatement. My hatred for the heavens ran deep as a bottomless abyss and more boundless than the vast cosmos itself!' Empyrean Scarletsea stated.

Suddenly, she thought of something and said, 'Maybe it was because of my deep hatred that the Outer Beings arrived and destroyed everything...'

'Surely not...' Henrietta didn't find it plausible.

However, she still couldn't help but wonder if it was actually true.

If her master's hatred for the heavens did summon the Outer Beings to destroy all of the heavens, how unbelievably deep could her hatred actually be?

Henrietta didn't dare to imagine it.

Nevertheless, after learning about Vanitas's history and fate from Empyrean Scarletsea, Henrietta felt more affectionate toward Vaan.

Even if he couldn't remember his past lives, she hoped he would be able to live well in this lifetime. In fact, she thought it would be for the best if he didn't remember any of his past life memories.VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)com for new novels

She feared the countless unfair and unjustly deaths would twist his mind and turn him towards evil.

...

Vaan was dumbfounded after looking at the effects of Grandmist Energy.

It was only a few wisps of Grandmist Energy refined from a small piece of rock, and yet their

effects were already so strong.

If he could refine an entire mountain into Grandmist Energy, how much could he improve his body or expand his Heaven-Swallowing Space?

What about a whole planet's worth of Grandmist Energy?

Vaan completely understood why nihility users were both the most desired and hated in

Chaos.

After all, they had the power to turn any matter into primal energy to strengthen their body cultivation to a terrifying degree and become extremely powerful body refiners.

At higher levels of body refining, the appetite of nihility users could extend to every celestial

body in existence. Everything under the heaven was practically fuel for their body refining. As such, all nihility users were seen as destroyers.

'Lady Hecate warned me not to use the Nihility Law carelessly, but it is also necessary to obtain Grandmist Energy if I want to improve my body refining greatly...' Vaan mused. Nevertheless, without a suitable body refining technique, he would only be strengthening his body primitively. It wouldn't be good if he created bottlenecks for himself at higher ranks. Furthermore, he had numerous areas to improve. Thus, he didn't need to focus on body

refining for the time being.

'I've successfully cultivated the Everlasting Blood Mantra, but I have yet to refine the divine

blood in Abaddon's left arm to acquire his vampiric bloodline... I wonder if I can still cultivate the Divine Blood Refining Art as well...' Vaan contemplated.

After studying both the Everlasting Blood Mantra and the Divine Blood Refining Art, he

quickly came to the conclusion that it should be possible.

One was a supplementary technique, and the other was a cultivation method. There was no

reason for the two to conflict.

In fact, practicing both might produce a synergizing effect.
