Ning walked back into the room in the tomb with his 3 beasts inside his beast space.
"Oh human, you're leaving?" they asked.
"Yes, I'll be back in a few days probably with one of your descendants," Ning said.
"Okay, take as much time as you want," the beasts said.
Ning nodded and walked away to leave. But just then, he felt another pulse of an aura coming from behind him. He turned around and saw that the location the aura came from was definitely the coffin.
"Did you guys feel that again?" Ning said. "Something is up with the coffin."
"With Jha'Akim? We can't feel anything. You shouldn't be able to either, human," the beasts said.
Ning didn't believe them and walked over to the coffin to check it properly this time around. He spent a good chunk of time looking at every corner of the coffin, making sure there was no aura coming out from the coffin.
"That's so weird," he thought. With no result, he decided to go back to the island. When he reappeared out of the tomb, he arrived in a forest over the southern continent.
"Damn that man who made this seal," Ning thought. "Why the hell did he put a teleportation formation in it anyway?"
He then teleported back to the Origin.
Ely was with her niece next to the pond. They were both a bit far away from the pond in fear of what would happen to them if they accidentally touched it.
Ning had made sure everyone learned about that.
"Go say hi," Ning said and let his 3 beasts out.
However, the moment they were out, they could immediately feel the need to break through.
"Master, I can't hold it. I need to breakthrough," Blue said.
"Oh right, go on. Go down to the mountains and freely breakthrough," Ning said. "You can talk with her later."
All 3 of them flew down to one of the mountain peaks and started breaking through. It would just be a day at most before they were done with their breakthrough.
'I am getting closer to my breakthrough too,' he thought. It had been half a year since he had found the Origin and had been staying inside collecting as much energy as he could.
At the same time, his cultivation was also progressing at a terrifyingly fast speed. In the first 2 months, he wasn't sure if staying on the island was a good idea or not, but afterward, he threw caution to the wind and started staying there as much as he wanted.
As such, by now his cultivation base was getting close to the next realm, and he could breakthrough if he wanted.
"Well, it's not like I have much use for this body anyway, so why not?" Ning thought and went over to Ely.
He quickly took Ely's niece back to the Central continent and returned back.
"I'm going to breakthrough too," he said and started his breakthrough near the pond as well.
"So fast?" Ely asked in surprise.
"Yeah, it is. I don't know if that's a good thing or not, but I don't really have to care now," Ning said.
Ely understood what he meant and let him breakthrough. Since it was not a breakthrough to a major realm, it only took him an hour at most to break through. Once he was done, he was now in the 2nd Spirit Transformation realm.
"Hmm… I don't feel anything bad. So maybe I'm okay?" Ning thought.
"If it's fine then it's fine. No need to worry," Ely said.
"Yeah," Ning said as he moved around a little.
The beasts were still in the early phase of their breakthrough and they still needed a lot of time to finish their breakthrough.
"I think it's time," Ning said.
"Are you sure?" Ely asked. "You said you paused it right?"
"Yeah, but it's time now. Let me think if I want to change anything," Ning said.
"You're making yourself young right?" Ely asked.
"Of course. Around 18-20 years old. Although, I won't need to worry about that. I've made it possible to freely change my body and age as I want. I know the human body inside out, and can easily do that," Ning said.
"What, you can be a girl too?" Ely asked with surprise.
"That I don't know. The male and female bodies are too different and I probably won't be able to change between each other. If I need to, I can add that ability afterward too," Ning said.
"Well, if you can change what you want later on, then there's no point in contemplating now, right?" Ely asked.
"I guess. I'm more so confirming stuff," Ning said. "Let's see. It's a very durable body, with high pain threshold, fully assimilated to every form of Qi, Aether, Mana, whatever energy a planet might have, and finally, the most expensive stuff that is the constant regeneration."
"After I get this body, I won't have to worry about spending energy to heal myself," Ning said.
"Right, do it then," Ely said.
Ning nodded. "System, make my body."
<Confirmed>
A bright white light appeared in front of Ning as they start to take the shape of a human silhouette. Slowly, the light started making masses and signs of a physical body started appearing in front of him.
Ning felt his whole body drain as all the energy he had gathered up to this point was being siphoned off out of him.
Soon, the body was complete.
The body fell to the ground as soon as it was made, but Ning caught it with his telekinesis and hovered it in front of him.
The new body looked exactly like the old one, except this one had much fairer skin and the hair wasn't as long. The new body also looked quite young compared to how he looked now.
If they were together, the two of them would surely be mistaken as siblings instead of twins.
Ely walked over to Ning and looked at the new body from top to bottom.
"Hmm, not bad," she said. "But, you should probably get it to wear something."
