Frost-Yin Maboroshi and Nine-Headed Spirit Snake
'Frost-Yin Maboroshi and Nine-Headed Spirit Snake, wait for me…'
…
Aya was walking to the direction Chuantong had pointed while being concealed by her Darkness Absolute Protection.
She past countless beast corpse that she didn't bother to possess since they've already died. According to the inheritance she can only possess living being or those on there death bed. The best would be the others consent,while worst is force submission of the soul's body. But a corpse body would be useless to her unless she had a beast companion that feast on those bodies. When she thought about this part, she suddenly have a flash of an idea. 'It might be possible!'
[Chuantong you said before that Devouring Seijō can devour anything and everything, right?]
[Yes, Master.]
[But you can live inside it. How can you be safe then?]
[Eh. That's because we Legacy Ancestry Spirits are Dao itself born and nourished from different mind space. Making our body suitable for it. The same goes for Master. Although not everyone who opened and cultivates their mind space, there are two exceptions, the Shíkōng mind space and your Devouring Seijō. Because both mind space have special functions and ability as well as having a strong connection with the one inborn with it. Actually, Master once your Devouring Seijō Rank up and became stable enough, you can treat it as your secret cultivation space. It is very useful in your current state, Master.]
[En. How about corpses that I died before I could even posses them? Can those corses be truly devoured? Or would it be just a useless action?]
[According to my data… as long as there's something of value then Devouring Seijō can absorb those to be purified and store.]
[Good. Then I'll be sending corpses over there. Help me feed Seijō.]
[Yes, Master.]
Aya did some more probing while gathering corpses near and tossing them next to her mind space. She doesn't want to miss any information and opportunities to strengthen herself. As of now, she may be considered safe except for those Shinigami that were hunting her. But her strengths too weak. She doesn't want to be in that situation were she was weak and defenseless that her had easily tortured and killed her. She wants to be strong. No, she wants to be stronger in every aspects.
'Witch (Dark Association) Inheritance? Okay. I'll accept all of it! I'll awaken more too. As long as I get stronger then so be it.'
…
While was getting near her destinations, the corpses of beasts disappeared one after another without the battling beasts.
After half a minute more, Aya arrive right in front of the two beasts. The Frost-Yin Maboroshi and Nine-Headed Spirit Snake.
They were just like what Chuantong had described. They were at their death's door. But despite that they were vigilant and have a quite sharp sense and good intuition. They felt danger even without seeing anything amiss. They decided to self-detonate if an enemy attack them.
But Aya saw through them. And in a soft and calm voice she said, "I mean no harm. I made a Soul-Heaven Vow with the Yang Illuminati Beast earlier to help your newborn in exchange for what I want from you."
"What do you want?" A soft and gentle voice was heard from the Frost-Yin Maboroshi. It was hesitating.
"Where is she?" The Nine-Headed Spirit Snake asked. She was vigilant.
"Here is not a good place. Please don't resist my Darkness Devourer Art. Don't worry. It will only isolate us so that no one know where we are and what we're talking about. But I'm not strong yet so I can only do it one at a time."
The two beasts look at each other. Both of them won't be able to last long and wouldn't be able to resist if this being use force to get her way. But they don't know why but hearing this beings voice they felt at peace, as if this being wouldn't do them harm. It might be them who wants to believe that way, like a drowning person finding a log right in front of them. So they decided to trust her. The Yang Illuminati Beast did, so why can't they? And they with that thought they answered at the same time.
"En."
"Okay."
When Aya heard them agree. She didn't waste any more time and began multitasking. She gave her orders to Chuantong while surrounding the two beasts with her aura, she began chanting and muttering mantras of the Darkness Devourer Art as her fingers continuously move into different signs and form in accordance to the chants and the muttered mantras.
[Chuantong prepare to restrain the Frost-Yin Maboroshi and watch out for Nine-Headed Spirit Snake while I possess them one by one.]
[Yes, Master.] Chuantong was happily obeying Aya's order. She had been very busy carrying beasts corpse inside the Devouring Seijō. But she felt her Master was doing a great, and quite a lucky person to be able to met three dying divine beasts on her first attempt, and then, there were these beasts corpses just waiting for her to collect. With such luck, wouldn't she have a fast progress in cultivation? In her long years of living, she only met few beings who were as lucky as her Master.
Slowly, from the space between Aya's brows, there was a little black light flickering while, all the tips of her fingers have different colorful lights that was mixing one finger tip to another until a small vortex was formed.
When the Frost-Yin Maboroshi was fully enveloped by the small black vortex, Aya took nine careful steps began possessing the body of the Frost-Yin Maboroshi.
…
Inside the black vortex…
Aya can see the soul of the Frost-Yin Maboroshi.
"Human?" The Frost-Yin Maboroshi was stunned at first. She didn't expect that the owner of that voice was a human.
"Yes." Aya was calm as usual and exudes inborn confidence in herself.
"What do you want from Us?" The Frost-Yin Maboroshi is the same with the Yang Illuminati Beast and the Nine-Headed Spirit Snake, they are divine beasts royalty in their own kingdom and are close friends.
Today, they were planning to do a secret bonding ceremony for their newborn and brought only a few subordinates and one close confidant each, but was then ambushed by packs of Flame Tiger and Water-spotted Leaf Tortoise.
Normally, this kinds of beasts does not move with packs and move individually but once a king was born they would be united. Thus, this ambushed happened.
Even with a king they are in no match with them normally, but after the newborn bonding ceremony they were weakened. They were outnumbered. And the kings knew it.
The royalties fought hard with them but the all of their subordinates and close confidants were killed and they were heavily injured despite taking down more of their enemies.
In a last attempt to save their newborn, they left the newborns to the Yang Illuminati Beast while they create a distraction. They succeeded at first but the two king beasts of the Fire Tiger and Water-spotted Leaf Tortoise soon realize it. They caught up and had a fierce battle.
They managed to kill both king beasts but they were also rendered mortally in danger of losing their life. They can't be healed anymore. And so was the Yang Illuminati Beast who fought while protecting the newborns.
When they thought there was no-saving of their situation the headless packs were confused and maddened by anger. They started to fight amongst each other, leaving a leeway for them. The Yang Illuminati Beast decided to find them help while carrying the newborns in her heavily injured state. They couldn't argue because they were all desperate to save their child.
But…
They never expected that the 'help' the Yang Illuminati Beast could find in her state was a human. Amongst them, the Yang Illuminati Beast was the one most untrusting with the humans. And this very 'human' is telling them the Yang Illuminati Beast made Soul-Heaven Vow with her?
She can't believe at first but thinking about it… they were all desperate, so if the Yang Illuminati Beast find this human worth gambling for then, they would also…
But first, she needs to make sure that this human wouldn't betray their trust. After all, they were entrusting the future of their newborns to this human.
"Human, where is my friend? The Yang Illuminati Beast."
"She died. Her wounds were fatal and I can't heal hear in my current state, as so the two of you."
"How can you prove that you were telling Us the truth?"
"We can do the Soul-Heaven Vow and include my previous vow with your friend." Aya suggested calmly.
Aya can see through the heart of the beast. It was worried entrusting everything to a stranger. Especially a human. Sometimes a human's heart can be more treacherous than a beast so she can't argue with her and chose to compromise instead.
And so, they made their Soul-Heaven Vow and Aya do the same thing to she did with the Yangs Illuminati Beast to the Frost-Yin Maboroshi. After that she send the unconscious Nine-Headed Spirit Snake inside the vortex and do the same thing with her.
