His trait— Mission Maker, works with initiative. Ja Sun has to actively recognize opportunities and anything related to the divine was currently his highest priority. Previously Ja Sun didn't know the sensation of observing Law or even understood the divine quality of energy. But now he knew and it was intoxicating, to say the least— to reach the peak in one aspect of his current cultivation.
"Set Mission." He whispered.
[Set Perimeters.]
Since he was just trying to understand the situation, he began with the most simple mission he could think of.
"Understand a law."
As he said so, Ja Sun silently waited but no mission was formed that made him try again. His Missions, sometimes, would require a bit of trial and error to get what he truly desired.
"Set Mission," he began again.
[Set Perimeters.]
"Understand the Law of Light."
Once again it came with nothing. This went on until a few times as Ja Sun began to understand the situation. Unlike the act of controlling spirit energy or the general direction of various activities like fighting, eating, and even cultivating, all Ja Sun knew about the 'Law' was the fact that it is a term to define an aspect of reality but he never truly understood what it really is. Even the vague sensation was useless in this fact. Unless he has some firm inkling or written notes on the term, he would probably fail to form an objective.
However, Ja Sun still wasn't disheartened. Not being able to form a mission now only meant he had something to look forward to in the future. After all, he had other things related to the divine.
Still within the strange space of the Evil Sage's Third Eye, Ja Sun gave the three eyes one last look. The possible law related to Evil Attribute, the Laws related to spirit, light, and space, and finally the largest of the eyes which wasn't connected to his martial soul but something form from the artifact itself. It was also the largest eyes and had two pupils within— one red and one blue. And Ja Sun had yet to understand anything related to this eye except for the fact that it was somehow similar to the sensation the White Tiger martial soul and its users carry.
Coming out, Ja Sun exhaled deeply and recollected his thoughts. Even with the ability to filter laws related to himself, he would need quite a bit of time to understand intricately what laws mean and once he does that, he'll be able to form missions regarding it because, through him, his trait will also understand the baseline requirements needed to achieve the objective. This cannot be rushed because there are no advantages in speeding through.
This left him with two other clues.
The first, of course, was the supposed souls sealed within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. According to the Yin-Yang Petals, she has been suppressing the souls of two divine beings instinctively because she sprouted from the fusion of their power. Ah Yin, clearly, wanted Yin-Yang Petals to be her Spirit Soul. After all, Yin-Yang Petals wanted to be free from her plight and Ah Yin also wanted to refrain from killing other spirit beasts and if there is a willing spirit beast to turn into a spirit soul then that is the best possible situation.
However, the duo was worried about how this may affect the Yin-Yang Well. Ja Sun had scouted the natural array and how the well is formed so he knew that now, instead of being powered by the two divine souls, the well suppressed them naturally and instead found its nourishment from nature instead. In fact, the souls being in that location meant that the bodies of two divine beasts would also be in that location itself and he felt that instead of the souls, it were the corpses that kickstarted the process of the formation of blessed land.
So, even if the Yin-Yang Well is secured after Yin-Yang Petals is safely turned into a Spirit Soul, they would have to possibly face against two divine intents. Possibly, stronger than the divine intents Ja Sun had already faced. And Ja Sun also had to assume the worst, meaning, that someone will have to protect Ah Yin during her breakthrough and it wouldn't be simple.
Firstly, the Yin-Yang Petals isn't a simple creature and its cultivation might surpass an ordinary 100000-year-old spirit beast. Secondly, Ah Yin also planned to form her first spirit core with the help of the remnant of Blue Silver Emperor's Core within her body and all of these require absolute peace. Slight distractions might cause dangerous problems. And, according to Qian Daoliu, the absorption of the seventh spirit ring is even more significant as it finally provides a positive feedback to the domain of a user to make it more optimal to the spirit master's current strength at the time.
And this is why, despite a willing Yin-Yang Petals waiting, the group decided to help Bibi Dong get her first spirit soul. Compared to all these factors, a 100000-year-old spirit beast seems almost too simple... even when it really wasn't.
Still, they would only leave after Tang Hao's engagement and by that time, everyone was given the task of preparing their subordinates to keep the situation under the control and if possible, not to leak their departure.
The other clue of the divine, just so happened to be near him.
Ja Sun took out the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. He was now in his personal residence which was fully secured so he didn't mind finally confirming his thoughts.
"Let's see," Ja Sun mumbled. His mental energy slowly condensed in front of him in the form of a thing golden tendril, a change brought by the final breakthrough of his mental energy. The golden thread reached into the sapphire Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud as Ja Sun began exploring, nay, violating the integrity of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
The inspection lasted a few minutes.
'Hmm,' a smile formed over Ja Sun's lips as he stopped inspecting the pyramid.
'My mental energy is the same as master's so I understand the level of inspection it can attain. He already knew everything about us from the get-go including Ah Yin's identity... and I can see it clearly, too. This means that the rule of a Spirit Emperor being able to hide its scent and true nature from other Titled Douluos is not applicable on those at rank 99 or with the same quality of energy.
And even with all that, I can't sneak through the defenses of the Cosmic Shroud.'
"Set Mission."
Ja Sun whispered, his tone couldn't be more ominous. He wanted to know more about the divine and he didn't believe there is no written material on this aspect. The fact that he found the Spirit Bestowal Array that needed divine energy to be completed meant that he only needed to form the right missions and poke in the right direction to find out things of interest.
[Set Perimeters.]
"Interact with the divine intent hidden within the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
Additional Objectives:
1) Destroy the divine intent.
2) Capture the divine intent.
3) Enslave the divine intent."
Ja Sun wanted to try out the difficulties of his options.
[Objective: Explore the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and its divine mysteries.
Optional Objectives:
1) Destroy the possible divine intent within.
2) Capture the possible divine intent within.
Mission Rank: B-A/S
Mission Rewards: Bo Saixi's Staff— Spirit Bestowal Array/ Divine Grace Array.
Time Limit: 60/60/60 minutes.]
Ja Sun gazed at the last reward with a huge smile forming on his lips.
He only had the Spirit Bestowal Array as the final reward in the slaughter city but it was clear to him that the level of the array wasn't its final stage. There were many things left unstated with the aspect of Divine Energy being the most crucial. But now...
With a glinted gaze, Ja Sun began to chuckle softly. His voice gained a quality it didn't have before as he whispered, "Will you come out and talk to me?"
His voice now laced with his own divine intent reached the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud but nothing happened. However, Ja Sun knew what he had to do.
Explore the vast sea cosmic shroud and trap whatever that is within. It would be at the moment impossible to enslave whatever is inside but Ja Sun understood that he could be sly about it. Not all S-ranked missions need to be excruciatingly difficult, he now knew by experience. Sometimes, the mission is of the highest quality because of the background of the parties involved.
With a simple thought, Ja Sun separated his Death Astral Avatar from within.
He was clear. To trap someone, he must keep the opposite party unsuspecting. With a thought, the palm-sized half of his mental core, the Death Astral Combatant shot into the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
Meanwhile, the golden in Ja Sun's pupils glowed deeply and his already peak mental energy finally grew in intensity.
That's what Ja Sun would truly call divine.
The Life Astral Combatant within his world of consciousness let out a divine glow and more and more death mental energy was being generated from the Cauldron within. His mental core was neither the Life Astral Combatant nor the Death Astral Combatant. The two were a part of it, yes, but the core in itself was the death cauldron that housed the life gold which had become a part of him. From life came death. His mental core followed the same concept. A duality.
As long as the cauldron is safe, he wouldn't fear any loss to his mental world.
And that's why he could do what he was about to...
With a manic grin, Ja Sun began waving his hands as golden mental energy flooded out alongside his spirit energy. The Sigh of Immortal was used fully without restriction and even if no amount of spirit energy could match up to the divine quality, it could assist Ja Sun with the more mundane runes as he set up the core array based on his mental energy forcibly pushed past its limits by three more levels using the Fiery Golden Pupils!
---
"So this is the barrier," Ja Sun's vision and mind are shared with the Death Astral Combatant so even in this form, he wouldn't lose his wits. Right now, Ja Sun was submerged in an 'ocean.'
Whatever this space was, it mimicked the capabilities of 'water' perfectly down to the pressure of the element. Yet it barely affected the current him. Instead, he gazed at the shimmering golden wall formed from the connection of various triangular plates and touched its surface with a ponderous expression.
'The mission will be marked completed in an hour so I have to break through the surface in that time and find out the situation before things take for the worse. If I don't complete the main objective then the optional ones will fail, too, and by that time I would have trapped this half of myself for nothing...' Ja Sun thought for a moment before placing his index on the center of one of the many plates that formed the protective barrier as he remarked coldly, "Shatter!"
*Voom*
Vast mental energy abruptly escaped his form and condensed into a single point around the tip of his index finger. It barely impacted the surface of the barrier meaning that at least, this protective barrier was strong enough to repel the likes of him and Qian Daoliu...
Unless...
Seeing the slightly grey point on the surface of the barrier, Ja Sun narrowed his eyes, "The death attribute works, barely. The space is filled with a strange life force. However..."
Ja Sun quirked a grin.
He was well-versed with the qualities of life and death because of his core. Sure, life attribute was the best counter for the death attribute...
But.
Ja Sun looked around and seemed to be grabbing at nothing when cyan-colored light gathered around him and with a thought it rushed towards the grey point infected by death attribute.
Ordinarily, it would have snuffed the poison out.
However, Ja Sun knew that life fed death and death created space for life. Yes, they counter each other but in reality, there has been no other attribute suited to complement death more than life.
"I said shatter, didn't I?" He cackled as the grey grew over the golden barrier and unaffected by the attribute, Ja Sun touched the greyed-out region and felt it weakening with an increasing space.
*Crack*
He pressed harder with a light crack forming around the area of his palms when he felt the surrounding water surge violently, trying to suck him away.
*Crackle*
Ja Sun smiled, his fingers pressing into the crack until shards of golden broke out and dissipated for him to finally grab onto the barrier. The moment the first of the shards dissolved, a slow rumble echoed and a soft, and cold whisper filled the world, even stifling the raging water around Ja Sun.
"Who?"
It demanded.
