The string moved sneakily and took the small crystal.
A few seconds later, it was inside my storage. I walked without any change, while three Prime's close to me remained oblivious to it.
It had been two and a half weeks since I had entered this small region and at that time, I had found a lot of forbidden power crystals.
If people know the number. They will move to hunt me down for it.
Twenty days may not seem like a lot of time, but it is. Especially in time dilation, where my clones experiment and study this forbidden power.
Unearthing such data had started to change everything.
The formulas of my practice began to change. So, has the formations in my inheritance and the strings.
Most importantly, the tool I had designed to look for the forbidden power had also been thoroughly changed. Compared to the first day, it had become a lot more sensitive, and its range had also increased.
Helped me sense the forbidden power crystals from a distance, which directly reduced the risks.
Another change happened in the past two and a half weeks. The storms are more frequent in small regions; I have come across six.
I had practiced with the energy of all six of them. Gaining bigger and bigger advancement.
Each storm would provide me with more data, and that, in turn, help me modify the process. Helping me gain more strength in return.
A lot of things happened in this one. The most notable is that the number of Primes has increased further.
Some of the fossils that hadn't been seen in ages have appeared.
Over an hour passed, and I sensed another forbidden crystal, but I didn't even look at it.
In the past week, a lot of primes have started setting up a trap. To identify people with tools and methods to sense the forbidden power.
Till now, I have seen four Primes doing that and these Primes are a little more focused on me than others.
Being strange has its benefits, but it is not without a drawback. There is a lot.
So, I acted like I didn't sense it at all.
To be honest, I wanted to look at the man and smirk, but it would bring more trouble than I liked. So, I simply walked ahead.
Another hour passed, and I found another tiny crystal.
Most of them are tiny, but now and then, I would find a little bigger one. Containing more forbidden power inside it.
A few minutes passed, and I sensed the battle in front of me.
'Fuck,' I cursed and took the turn. I don't like it when the fights are on my route.
The route I walk has the maximum chance of finding forbidden crystals, but because of these fights, I will have to deviate from it for some time.
My days hadn't been too peaceful. I had to fight some people.
Some, I only defended, while a few I had dominated. Only one I dominated.
Most of those who come to fight me are strong. They wouldn't go against the strange person like without having some confidence in their strength.
I moved around it while keeping an eye on it.
Most of the battles are about the forbidden crystals. If one finds even a tiny bit of it and others sense it, then there will be a battle for it
People are willing to go quite far to get the forbidden power. Even a bit of it. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveIＦire.net
That is why I am very careful. I have found enough of it to make these Prime tear my flesh apart. Thankfully, I had stored it in my core.
So, even their tools that could sense through the storage rings wouldn't be able to discover it.
I kept moving, collecting the forbidden power crystals as they came.
A few more hours passed, and I sensed the storm.
Learning from the past, I kept moving, and soon others sensed it. Seeing them, I moved. Choosing the opposite direction and kept moving till I was out of their range soul sense.
After that, I entered my abode.
Directly into the practice room where my clothes have disappeared, and the paste begins to cover my body.
As it did, the formation activated, and the rings spewed out the energies that the formation absorbed.
The energy entered the paste through the formation and went through the process before finally entering my body and filling it.
What had entered my body was denser than the second first time, the energy entered inside the small region.
It isn't just denser, but purer. In a sense now, there are fewer harmful elements in the energy, that could kill me. It is still dangerous, but not as much as before.
Minutes passed as my body absorbed the thick energy contaminating energies of a storm, forbidden power, honey, and many precious things.
Finally, when I reached near the limit. Formation closed the tap.
A few minutes later, I lay down and fell asleep for eight hours. When I woke up, I was fully rested and stronger.
I practiced my methods and rested a few more hours, ate, before coming out.
A few minutes passed, and a surprise appeared on my face. I had sensed no soul sense around me.
Usually, I could come across after a few minutes, but there are none.
I didn't think too much about it at first, but as time passed. I didn't sense any soul sense. I began to get suspicious that something happened.
I thought that when I sense the soul sense of Prime. She is flying at a very high speed toward the north.
I thought for a moment before I flew into the sky and moved toward the Prime.
"Prime Yrana, I didn't mean any harm," I said to the woman. Not that I could do any harm to her. She is a High-Prime and has comprehended the law.
She relaxed a little and lowered her speed.
"What happened? Where are all the Primes?" I asked the woman as I reached her. Immediately, her eyes become a little suspicious.
"The last storm had injured. I have been healing till a few minutes ago," I explained. Which made a relaxed, but she was still cautious.
"A new building appeared after a storm. It is giving off visible signals of the forbidden power," she replied.
It would be an understatement to say. I am not shocked.
Till now, we have been using a precise tool to find forbidden crystals and, given the amount of forbidden.
One would need to be very close to sense it, but here she is saying, that a building is giving off visible forbidden power signals.
It excited me, but also terrified me when I thought about the consequences of that.
"That's what I heard," she replied. It is clear by her words that even though she didn't believe it, like most primes, she is going toward it.
While I was flying with her, I also scanned with my soul sense, and I barely sensed any people.
By now, I should have sensed many. So, it is likely that she is telling the truth.
