章 486: Entering Shark Infested Waters

In the past millions of years, the study of the manipulation of the spirit had slowly and yet constantly evolved into becoming a full fledged science, more advanced than any other types of cultivation. This science included, amongst the most notorious topics, the merging of different amounts of one's spirit with an uncountable number of innate powers, splitting one's spirit into their own bodies, moving spirits from one species to another, and many more. 

All of this was possible thanks to the versatile nature of the spirit, but this versatility had never been something evident to the spiritual scholars. What was known of the spirit in the present, was the fruit of millions of years of testing, and had required countless experiments which, just like trying to guess a number between one and a million by starting from one and moving up, were conducted by using a constant stream of souls in a process of trial and error.
