”They give off strange vibrations…its a little scary, ” Ori said. Its voice wasn ’t filled with fear but curiosity and desire. Clearly, out of the four, it tested these runes in an even more reckless manner. 

Wei Wuyin felt that they were mostly observing Ori. His expression somewhat darkened after realizing she was acting as their test subject. Fortunately, they could share their thoughts and energies so if one of them faced trouble, the others could act as if they were suffering it together. They might be independent, but they weren ’t ever alone. 

This caused his expression to ease. But he had to find the time to talk down Ori ’s habit of rushing forward. 

”Strange vibrations? Eden and Kraros, can you feel the strange fluctuation coursing through my physical and mental energies? ” Wei Wuyun had his own theories.

”Yes! ” Kratos answered. ”I can feel it. I think its why I ’m far stronger now. ” The fluctuation was enhancing its physical energies, increasing its power by a large margin 

”I feel the same, ” Eden concurred. The Sea of Consciousness and its vast mental energies was similarly affected, experiencing a drastic increase. This wasn ’t abnormal after consuming an Astral World-Deluge Pill, but this fluctuation was new, so were the mystic runes.

Wei Wuyin nodded, ”I need to ask Wu Yu to be sure, but I think these Mystic Runes are condensed Mystic Intent. ”

”You think? ” Kratos chimed skeptically. It wasn ’t that they weren ’t aware of breaking norms and conventions, but Mystic Intent was something that only those that have touched the limits of the Mortal Dao, the Star Core Phase of the Astral Core Realm, could comprehend.

Eden ’s roots trembled, ”Mystic Intent Seeds?! ” 

”Seeds? ” Ori asked.

Wei Wuyin nodded again, echoing with Eden ’s conclusion. ”I was wondering how Mystic Intent forms and where, if it was like standard Intent where its housed in the Sea of Consciousness, but it seems it might manifest inside the World Sea. From a cultivation standpoint, this makes sense.

”Intent comes in three forms, at least to our current knowledge: Seed, Awakened, and World Heart. The Seed of Intent has potential, but its mostly inactive. I think the transcendent Astral World-Deluge Pills ’ effects aren ’t to elevate the Astral Core, but to flood the World Sea with Mystic Essence or Energy to either nourish the seed or strengthen Mystic Intent, maybe expand it? Since I haven ’t formed Seeds of Mystic Intent yet, the essence or energy formed into seeds themselves? ” Wei Wuyin theorized, but he left himself some room for error.

Regardless, the existence of these runes and the explosive growth of his Astral Cores as if they had consumed hundreds of Astral World-Deluge Pills at once suggested that its effects had changed. This was a fact. And what changed was the traces of Mystic Intent coursing through his innate energies, amplifying their quality. 

”If they ’re seeds of Mystic Intent, why are there six different ones? ” King asked. This once again shook the four, sometimes forgetting King had a voice and was quite astute. It should certainly speak more! Yet its question pinpointed both a flaw and a peculiarity in Wei Wuyin ’s theory. 

Why were there six?

As they were Spirits of Cultivation who comprehended and experienced the growth of Intents personally, they were well-aware of the Seed of Intent ’s aspects. For example, Ori had comprehended multiple Fire Intents but only established a single Seed of Fire Intent once. 

”I…don ’t know… ” Wei Wuyin answered honestly. He was as baffled as they were. He felt that these runes were actually Seeds of Mystic Intent, he would be willing to bet ten thousand Mystic Stones on it, but he didn ’t know why there were six and only six or why each were different. 

”I can ’t interact with it at all, ” Eden also added his thoughts. The so-called Seeds of Mystic Intent were just there, lingering and releasing that strange vibration.

”You can barely interact with anything mystic-graded, ” Wei Wuyin shrugged. They were still nestled firmly within the Mortal Dao. Even Starlords can only comprehend Mystic Intent, not use Mystic Power that exceeds Mortal Limits. 

Eden didn ’t retort. It was the truth, so what more could it say? While it was dissatisfied, the mystic-graded materials were mostly melted by Bai Lin ’s nirvanic flames ’s embers and they just mixed it into the product. 

A silence soon formed. This development was outside of their expectations. They were just mortals playing with things that exceed Mortal Limits. How could they fathom these changes? It was fairly foolish to try, like a kindergarten student who only knew basic arithmetic trying to solve quadratic equations. 

To them, they ’ll be stumped as to why letters are even introduced! This was math! 

”Let ’s test this out, ” Wei Wuyin might not be able to solve or answer these questions, but the Seeds of Mystic Intent were currently affecting his innate energies, thereby introducing changes into his astral force. Perhaps with this infusion, he might be able to produce transcendent products by himself or perform feats limited to Mystic Ascendants.

With those exciting thoughts, he stood up, kept his cauldron, and left the room. After checking on Yao Houyi who was still cultivating diligently, firming his foundation, and Bai Lin who was still sound asleep, he made his way to the top deck. ”I should check the course, ensure we ’re still going in the right direction. ”

But much to his surprise, when he reached the top deck, he discovered that there were no scenes of endless stars littering the vision or distant planets outside his saber formation, but solid dark-brown walls. There were white stones that were emitting solar light and warmth.

”…What? ”
