Path of the Dual Cultivation

33 Wood and Ice Spirit!

After the tiger disappeared from their sight, Sahil turn towards the corpses of the people and got an interesting idea in his head.

All three girls were waiting for him to decide, what to do next. Even though Lust had the most experience in this group, she had already accepted her fate being a woman of Sahil and she didn't want to steal his spotlight when his other women's were with him, so she also followed others and waited for him to decide.

But when they saw him staring at the corpses of the humans, they got scared and same thought appeared inside their heads as if knowing their thoughts, he explained "They died just a moment ago, I was wondering if we could extract and devour their legacies?"

First girls were surprised and then Adhira's excited cry resounded "If we are able to take their legacies, then it will be a huge boon to our forces, even if we don't have any use for them, we always can give it to our trusted subordinates"

"Adhira is right, it might be a small matter for you but for those people, it is a big deal and their trust will increase tremendously in you" Lust who was at the side as well praised him for his critical thinking.

"Ok, let's do then, first will be the leader" Sahil turned towards the corpse of the leader of the party and appeared in his soul world.

What they saw surprised them, in front of them was lying a nine-tailed fox on the ground but its body seems to be fading away slowly.

Sahil cried out in excitement "Fucking hell! it is the nine-tailed fox, if I have its disguise and illusion legacy, then I will be able to infiltrate our enemies very easily and kill them without letting them realise, how and who killed them"

Girls who were at the side as well smiled and didn't comment on his childlike behaviour.

Actually, in the party of those humans, everyone was from a different place and they have just formed this party only for this expedition, this leader seems to be Korean.

Sahil didn't wait for any further and attacked the fox. Spirits strength depend on their hosts and when their host dies, they have to search for another one but during this period of time, they will be weakened to the half of their original strength.

Actually, Gods left their legacies, so humans could become strong, prosper and roam in this vast universe without any fear like their progenitors but as time passed the will of gods become corrupted by the vicious nature of human beings and when the time came to the legacies to be obtained by the humans, the spirits only gave the portions of the legacy, which was essential for their survival.

Spirits didn't let humans become stronger than emperor realm, and spirits were at least at the sage realm, so there wasn't any chance to defeat them but everything changed when a unique individual like a Sahil appeared.

Sahil defeated the nine-tailed fox in few moves, which was already weakened by losing its host and after that he devoured it.

After waiting for half a minute new knowledge appeared inside his head, which was related to illusion and disguise techniques.

"Nine-Tailed Illusion Art"

It was the cultivation technique, he got from the nine-tailed fox and there were other disguise techniques, which he obtained as well.

After devouring the spirit of the leader, he turned towards the other member, who seems to be from India as well but after devouring his spirit, he realised that it was just the low-class legacy from some Rishi(Saint) from ancient times.

Sahil was able to obtain three legacies from the corpses and when he reached the fourth one, the spirit was already gone.

After that, he turned towards the ladies and asked the most important question, which was bugging him this entire time "Why do you think those two sage realm magical beasts were fighting with each other until one of them died in their fight?"

"Isn't it normal for beasts to fight with each other?" Adhira asked with a confused face.

"If I say, two humans started to fight with each other without any reason and one of them killed the other one, will you believe it?" He didn't answer her question but instead, asked back.

"How can this be, why would anyone fight without reason to the death?" Adhira became even more confused but after contemplating for some time, she realised that she had missed something very important and widen her eyes in surprised.

Lust who was at the side cleared her doubts "Magical beasts at the sage realm have the intelligence equal to the human beings, why would they fight each other to death without reason, maybe there is something hidden in this lake?"

Everyone turned towards the lake, which was ten meters away from them, while Sahil activated his god's eyes and was surprised by what he saw.

Inside the lake was a huge lotus-like plant which was white in colour and its petals were swaying in all directions.

Lust who was most powerful in the group as well was able to see inside the lake and gasped in amazement "It is a Wood and Ice spirit, it is not uncommon to see something like this in God world but to appear something this amazing in this backwater land..."

Lust was speechless and didn't know what to say anymore.

"Umm... what is the wood and ice spirit anyways?" Sahil was at the side asked in confusion.

"It can be anything like plants or trees, stone, lightning, fire, or any other element related thing, which has developed its own consciousness" After hearing her explanation, he understood that it was same as the spirits.

"So, what is the use of these elemental spirits, they aren't holding any legacy, are they?" Sahil asked her with a smile.

Lust laughed at his stupid question "Of course not, elemental spirits can be controlled completely, unlike your legacies, which just give you cultivation arts and from which element, the elemental spirit is formed, you will be able to use that element as well.
