Aksai let out a slow breath.
"I… can't believe it either," he said, more to himself than to Yelia.
"My Aether path was the weakest one. I barely knew anything about it before the ritual. And now… it's ahead of the others."
He looked down at his hands before checking the rest of his body using his Spirit Sense. He looked the same, but he could feel the difference.
The demon beast's soul slumbered within him now. His thoughts moved faster. His sense of the world felt deeper. The sea inside his soul had changed, and so had he.
Technically speaking, Aksai was the only Spirit practitioner in Dadangar with Spirit cultivation at the Foundation Building Realm and a soul powerful enough to rival that of a Core Formation Lord.
Even though there were many differences between the soul of a Core Formation Lord from Dadangar and the soul of an Aether practitioner at the Wisp Mastery Realm, they held roughly similar amounts of Aether essence.
