Chapter 4046: Code
Step!
I stepped into the abode and sat down on the couch.
It was the second night I had been following Yantis, and it was tiring.
Especially since I have to focus only on him and can't even work, which is worse. That is why I brought my last clone into the library to focus on the inheritance.
By tomorrow, we should be able to reach our destination.
I rested for a few minutes before going to freshen up and ate what my clone had cooked.
I had brought one out for the cooking. It went back to the library as he finished it, while I ate the dinner he cooked.
Click.
I finished it within fifteen minutes, and I wanted to go to sleep, instead, I went to the practice
room.
I reached the center, and for a while tile appeared. I sat on it and began the practice of Garsonath's Transformation.
I usually do not practice when I am this tired, but there are only three sessions more before I will complete the practice of it.
So, I took the risk.
Forty minutes passed, and the session had been the most painful of this method.
I didn't have the energy to even walk, but somehow slowly got up after a minute of rest and stepped into the shower.
The ice-cold water made me feel good, but I didn't stay for over ten minutes.
I came out and dried myself and laid down on the bed, without wearing any clothes. That didn't stop me from falling into a deep sleep within seconds.
I woke up exactly three hours later.
The first thing I did was to check on Yantis. I know he is still in his abode. If he had moved, my clones would have informed me about it.
I quickly freshened up and ate the breakfast that my clone had cooked before lying on the couch.
A few seconds later, I was in the library, while the soul method circulated through my body. I have become so good at it; that didn't even need to consciously focus on it.
I would automatically start practicing, the moment I closed my eyes.
Still dispute practicing with such zeal, I had made no breakthrough since coming from Avros. Even in the soul challenge of the castle, where I thought it would break through, but it didn't.
It's more of my fault than of the methods. The forbidden power had made everything complicated.
Hun!
It was nearly, one and a half an hour later, I had opened my eyes before closing it.
Opening it, forty-five minutes later, when I got up and walked out of my abode.
There are now forty-five minutes of distance between us. At the speed he is moving; it is a massive distance.
I felt, things getting dangerous and listened to my instinct.
While he might be forty-five meters away. I am getting information from the seed inside him, only a minute difference.
I made a few changes to the seed inside him after analyzing the data. Now, the data packet uses markers as the jump points.
Every minute, a packet would be released, and it would use markers to reach me.
So, it will only take a minute to reach me. This way, I could act much faster, despite the distance between us.
I could make the data come faster, like every three seconds, but that is too dangerous. I cannot take a risk of discovery when my instincts are telling me things are going to be dangerous.
A few hours passed, and it was a late morning. He is about two hours away from his destination.
The temperature is getting colder. It's so cold right now that even Peak Sky Sovereigns would freeze to death within seconds.
Still, there are Sky Sovereigns. Aside from Yantis, there is one more I am sensing in here. She is practicing under a load of elemental crystal. Under powerful stealthy protection, I wouldn't have been able to discover her, if my soul sense had been normal.
Even Yantis didn't discover her, despite flying only a few miles away from her.
It is cold, colder, and colder with every mile.
Soon, he reached close to the lilies and landed on the ground. I landed too.
The lilies are in the lake. That lake has a powerful monster, who seemed to be at the limit of Sky Sovereign.
It's very dangerous to harvest, resources from such monsters.
Finally, he reached the lake and activated his stealth at full power, before walking into the
lake.
A moment later, the monster's soul sense had reached him, and his lips quirked.
Hun!
Nothing else happened. The monster had sensed him, but there was no reaction to it.
'What is happening?' I couldn't help, but ask myself, seeing the strange thing happening. If it had not discovered him, I wouldn't have been so confused.
The monster discovered him and discovered him as a person. He is not using a clock-type stealth, that makes him feel like an object.
There are a few guesses on my mind, but I didn't want to make them without proof.
I am writing to them in a report though. If I find the proof, I will erase them. if I didn't, I will submit them as they are.
He reached the frost dance lilies and began to harvest them carefully.
The lake is filled with them, but not many dared to harvest them.
The monster there is too powerful; one needs a very good stealth method or needs to be really powerful to deal with it.
Hun!
A minute passed and another data packet came. Reading it, my eyes couldn't help but widen. There is a code in the lilies. So faint and random that even I wouldn't have been able to
discover them. He could because he knew it was there.
The code is in front of me, but without a key, I can not decipher it.
Around an hour passed, and when he had finally finished harvesting, before coming out of the
lake.
There is nothing suspicious about him. Even the code, which even the person looking at him, wouldn't have been able to discover.
I did it because of my seed and now I want to know, what it means.
