After Sister Orb calmed herself, she continued with her explanation.
[Anyway, the Death Style thing gave you another 15 points of Destiny Energy, that's it.]
'It seems like Sister Orb doesn't even want to pretend to be a machine anymore.'
"Cough, cough. So we have 65 points now. My beloved Sister Orb, would you mind to upgrade the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm for us, please?"
[Sure. It's done.]
"It's... done?"
Rean and Roan looked around and couldn't see any difference what so ever.
"This was quite disappointing."
[What were you expecting? Fireworks? Shining Effects? I just lifted a restriction, that's all. However, it was not possible before I got that Azure Spiritual Flower. So I guess I will thank you for this, at least.]
In the end, Rean couldn't help but laugh out loud.
[What is so funny?]
"Oh, nothing much. It's just that this Sister Orb is a lot easier to talk with. That machine pretense was really annoying."
Suddenly, Rean and Roan were sent outside the Dimensional Realm, which took them by surprise. They then quickly put their clothes back before commenting.
"It seems like Sister Orb can feel embarrassed too."
Still, Rean and Roan could now feel a different type of connection between them and the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Rean took his back of Spirit Stones and focused on it and the Dimensional Realm at the same time.
*Vup!*
Right in front of his eyes, the bag disappeared. However, he could feel its presence inside the Dimensional Realm. Roan also tried the same thing and sent his bag inside. Seeing that, they couldn't help but feel delighted by it.
"Very well, half of the dimensional realm is mine, and the other half is yours, agreed?"
Rean quickly nodded.
"Agreed. Also, no touching without the other's permission."
They quickly shook their hands and nodded at each other.
"Another thing. Keep an empty bag with you all time. This way, we can pretend to take the stuff from inside. As for the Sword, it obviously wouldn't fit inside the bag, so let's keep it with us outside. It would be annoying to explain from where we took our weapons out."
Rean nodded once more.
"Alright."
Suddenly, Light Element started to gather around Rean and Roan's body. The marks left behind by Sister Orb then quickly disappeared. Sister Orb's attacks were basically painful but didn't leave any real damage. With his Control of the Light Element, Rean could heal them in just a minute or so.
"How should we go with this Foundation Establishment Breakthrough?"
"It is written in the Dark and Light Element Cultivation Manuals. It seems like we need to build some kind of pillars that will support a future Core inside our Dantians."
[Correct.]
Sister Orb suddenly intervened.
[Also, the number of pillars will determine your future accomplishments. That Juri and Alanda, for example, have three pillars each.]
Rean and Roan were taken aback by Sister Orb's voice, but they quickly calmed down.
"How many pillars are possible to be built?"
[Usually, nine. But in your case, it has to be ten]
"Ten?"
[Yes. The nine standard ones, and one extra for Dark and Light Elements. This will put you far above others concerning aptitude and cultivation speed. The cultivation of a Foundation Establishment is given through the absorption of the Spiritual Energy through the Pillars. The more you have, the faster it will be.]
"I see, so Rean will need to make the Light Pillar while I will create the Dark one."
[The opposite. The Light Pillar goes to Roan, and the Dark Pillar goes to Rean. Doing that will allow you two to exchange even more Light and Dark Element between each other. Did you forget, Roan? You already have an affinity with the Dark Element, and it is at the highest level. A Dark Element Pillar would make no difference for you. The same goes for Rean and his Light Element.]
[What you two need is balance, which is why you will build one pillar with the opposite element.]
"Wouldn't it generate a conflict between the two?"
[In someone else's case, probably. But you two already have the connection between your elements. It has already become a natural thing to have the other's element at your control. Your Foundations won't find anything strange to have an opposite element pillar there.]
"What about the other nine pillars? What do they represent them? Do they have elements?"
[No, they are just neutral pillars. That way, they would be able to absorb any other type of element. You can build them with Spiritual Energy. Of course, the more you build, the harder it becomes. So make sure to have a lot of Spirit Stones available.]
The twins nodded. At least it made things easier.
[When the time comes to build the tenth pillar, I will give you my support the same way I did when you created your light and dark dantains.]
After finishing explaining everything, the twins immediately took out their Spirit Stones. They had a lot of free time and nothing better to do at the moment, so they might as well go ahead with it.
[Concentrate the Spiritual Energy inside your Dantians. Each pillar has to be aligned around the Spiritual Energy Pool. Remember that these pillars will grow and breakthrough the Dantian Shell, arriving on the outside. It is because they have contact with the outside world that they can absorb so much more Spiritual Energy.]
Rean and Roan nodded and followed Sister Orb's order. Suddenly, they felt like something like a lock was open in their Dantians. It was quite a magical feeling.
[That is the proof that you can enter the Foundation Establishment. The acknowledgment of heaven and earth, which allows you to build the pillars. Without that, there would be nothing you could do. That is also why you can't create a foundation the moment you enter the Energy Gathering Realm either.]
The twins nodded. Spiritual Energy started to gather into a single point inside their Spiritual Energy Pool. That is Rean and Roan's Spiritual Energy Reserves. The place where they and all the other Energy Gathering Realm cultivators take Spiritual Energy from. Sure enough, the pillars would be built inside Rean and Roan's pools.
