Chapter 48 - GRAVITY SPACE AND LILY VINE

"Hey Tresse, long time no see" Wesley looked at the skeleton and felt happy inside Tresse was as close to a family as it could get. Tresse was the first person or being who had treated him as if he mattered.

They were standing in the inheritance space with the origin stele. But Wesley found it weird that it was the same size and yet before his body had grown to almost sixty meters in height. " why are you the same size. I thought you would be smaller?" He questioned tresse in wonder.

"Hmm, you would think so but but this space changes to accommodate your size that means you are still big but me and this ....." tresse waved to mean the space they were in.

"It and me grew and changed to fit you. Now enough of that"

"How did you awaken your bloodline." It stared at him and questioned. Wesley still felt creeper out sometimes when Tresse looked at him with those empty sockets.

"I don't know but this is what happened" Wesley then went on to explain hi entire adventure to Tresse.

"Marvelous" exclaimed the skeleton when Wesley had finished his story. " you were not supposed to be able to awaken your bloodline as eally as this. This changes things but not by much."

Tresse snapped his finger and Wesly found himself in the gravity space. It waved it's hand towards the stele and the gravity increased but Wesley felt nothing. This was totally different from when he first came in.

"You will train from here until you get used to your body. You also have access to the arena if you want but first I want you to train until you reach your limits. I want to know what your bloodline gave you and it's connection with a rule or element."

"Wait, what happened to those two I was with?"

"Oh, those mortals are still alive. They will stay in the bubble until you get out"

"Huh huh" Wesley let out a sound in surprise. "Won't they die if we let them stay in bubble for a long time?" He asked in a worried tone. He still wanted answers from Grog but overall he did want their deaths to be caused by him. 

"That depends on how your train. One of the perks you got by reaching this stage in your body technique is time dilation. Time in this space is faster than the outside. If you spend a week inside then a day will have passed outside. So please if you want to save them then hurry up and control your strength."

"When you are done, I will tell you of your other benefits and it's also time you start training your divine sense" it snapped it's finger and disappeared from the space.

"There are very many things I need to do". He started walking towards the stele with conviction. "I need to control my strength as soon as possible" As he walked towards the stele, he could feel a heavy imposing aura start acting on his body. His blood started flowing faster and muscles contracted to mitigate the pressure. He could feel that some parts of his body were bloated and some were stiff.

Wesley used his divine sense and noticed that these parts were not tempered well. That meant he had progressed very fast and his foundation was not stable. "I need a stronger pressure." He muttered and increased his speed . After a while he reached a point where he could not longer move forward.

"This is the place" he thought. He sat down cross-legged and ran the starry body technique. The pressure he was experiencing could not even let him utter a sound but he could feel himself progressing.

......

As for the seed Wesley had thrown out, it was still flying downwards at this moment without a sign of stopping. There was no sign of the bottom in this dark space, the only good thing for the seed right now was aura of the heavenly soil that was becoming richer as it went down farther.

The lily vine once sprouted has limited intelligence and only lives by instinct. By this time, it had sensed the aura of the Heavenly soil. It quickly absorbed the aura around it and a Crack appeared on it.

"Whoosh" a tendril with a small leaf broke out of the seed shell. Like a new born, it sensed it's surrounding and felt the rich aura around it.

In excitement, it used one of uts natural talent of devouring, within a few minutes, there was nothing left of the heavenly soil spiritual aura around for around a hundred meters surrounding the vine.

If someone would observe from above, wherever the vine passed, there was a vacuum left behind and the remaining would come to fill up the gap the vine left behind.

Two tendrils, three, four until it reached six tendrils with six small leaves. It stopped absorbing the spiritual aura and formed a cocoon of leaves and with pop, it entered a spiritual pool that was way down underground.

This spiritual pool was near the entrance of the cavern where Frost kept his mutant beasts and by a lucky chance, all the beasts had gone out of the cavern because of the tremors they felt above them.

It gave the seed a chance to enter unnoticed. Frost had gone through pain staking efforts to change this pool into a heavenly soil pool which was used to serve his beasts but now it was going to be Wesley's first pot of gold concerning the Lily vine. This was the best resource for the infant vine.

As it reached the bottom, the seed unfurled itself and with a wave of excitement, it absorbed the liquid like man parched with thirst.

The vine quickly changed its color from a vibrant green to a deep black as roots and other vines shot out from the main one and creeped under the pool looking for better sources of the heavenly soil and by luck, Frost had left a piece of the core of the heavenly soil in the pool in order to maintain it.

This was his mistake. The roots of the vine had latched onto its aura and were hurriedly creeping towards it.
