Chapter 119

An indescribably chilling sensation burst out from within my mana core as I activated Realha way out of in to forid skin as an to achrolimpse of what your runes looked like earlier, but it truly is fascinating,” Myreseated and s on my body, I couldn’t help but beco This was the first ties inthe different particles oal in ic was more accurately described as “ out a hunch I had in er Sure enough, the red particles around h what I had used was the refined mana from my core, there was a definitive response to the particles aroundspells from different elements to see the response in the particles, but no ed

“Having fun, are we?” The asura was still in her Realh es of her lips curled upward in amusement

“How is it that I’ve never noticed this?” I asked, more to myself than to her

“It’s understandable that you would assume that this form was some power-up rather than a means to observe and study what cannot noro of , Myre took a few steps back “I’ you’re able to stay in this fore where you can sense aether, but there are a few things I want you to see before you release Realmheart”

The asura raised a hand in front of her for me to see, her eyes narrowed in concentration Suddenly, the purple particles around us that had refused to coan to drift towards Myre The limmer of purple see ion of tiny fireflies toward her hand

“As I mentioned earlier, aether behaves fundamentally different from mana You will be met with only failure if you try to manipulate aether as you have done with mana Let y since it has worked so well for us until now You can drink, gargle, and spit out water as long as you kno, but you would be a fool if you tried the sa with the cup Aether is present all around us, yet it is the very boundary that confines us to the limits you and I have,” she explained as the particles of aether began drifting around the hand that she held up until it was co coether your shattered legs”

The silver mist that Myre had shot out at me in de her hand while I was in Realmheart However, when she released her influence over the aether, the tiny particles dispersed back to their original space

“I saw the aether gathering in your hand, but how does that fors?” A hable to witness and perceive this spectacle was truly a good fortune, but seeing this just filled me with frustration atout that my affinity lied toward the branch of life, I studied vivum for centuries However, even then, I am unconfident that I would be able to explain to you what you truly wish to know,” she confessed solemnly “What I can explain with certainty is limited”

“I want to learn” I stared at her, deterrasp what I could

While her eyes re you need to know is that, unlikeits presence and influence to reality”

“Does that mean a core isn’t needed to be able to influence aether?”

“An individual’s core is what connects the body to the physical realm, so while aether isn’t directly manipulated in the way that mana is, the mana core is crucial,” she responded While Myre’s words were sih, they reflected a deep wisdom that couldn’t be compared to mine

“You will realize your path when the ties of your cultivation, it is best not to overwhele that is unnecessary for now,” she continued, sently at me “For now, just know that after a certain extent, your cultivation will cease to depend on the rote ability to refine e that cannot be passed down”

I pondered over her cryptic words My brain was itching with questions but I kneasn’t the ti them

She nodded in contentment as I waited for her to continue “I’m not sure if this is mere coincidence or fate, but there is a reason why you can—as liuess what it is?”

“I thought it was because of Sylvia’s will?” I answered

<hr>

“It is partly because of Sylvia’s will that you are able to bear the burden of aether, but not the reason you are able to manipulate it”
