BXBX NOVEL Chapter 211 - Illusive Woman
Looking from a distance, everyone would have the feeling this place was very mysterious, always being surrounded in a hazy fog. However, the outside of the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary could be considered as normal, compared on how the environment inside was.
The Sanctuary Master slowly walked in the midst of all that mist, reaching the entrance of the cathedral, where he instantly knelt down.
"Goddess, your servant has returned to receive your guidance. I managed to discover the name of the chosen one living outside, but all the information I have, is that name..."
The Sanctuary Master suddenly heard the sound of the cathedral doors opening, from where a female form suddenly emerged.
She was totally made of a purple Ethereal Mist and there were no eyes, mouth and nose, just the torso with its limbs. However, each step she took seemed illusory.
The Sanctuary Master, a Mana Sovereign cultivator couldn\'t sense anything from her. She was just like an eternal layer of mysterious mist.
The woman stopped in front of him, making the Sanctuary Master feel like his body and soul was totally exposed before her. He had the impression that there was nothing he could hide from her. After a few seconds, an ancient voice suddenly started to say some words.
"Chun Meiyi... As long as she is in this world, I will find her."
After saying those words, the woman lifted her left hand made of ethereal mist slowly. That mist suddenly dispersed in the air, vanishing, turning illusory and invisible.
The Sanctuary Master felt a bit of dread. She was able to read the name of the chosen one from his memories without him even noticing the beginning and the end of the process. He; a Mana Sovereign cultivator, wasn\'t even able to feel how she had done it.
"Goddess..."
"Remember..." The woman turned her back towards him, moving back inside the cathedral. While going back her words remained behind for the Sanctuary Master.
"Do not forget the prophecy that gave birth to the customs, else we may suffer the Crimson Annihilation." Her voice was ethereal and illusive, but they were still able to transmit the weight those two words contained.
\'Crimson Annihilation!\' The Sanctuary Master didn\'t know what it was, but he was able to feel fear by just hearing its name.
That prophecy was something ancient left behind by the Illusive Ethereal Goddess. It said that a leaked offspring, would be the catalyst for the Crimson Annihilation.
The real Illusive Ethereal Goddess was already dead and the one living inside the cathedral, was a tiny fragment of her soul, preserved in the form of Ethereal Mist. She still had some divine abilities and mystical powers she was able to use when still alive, but they were nothing like they used to be.
At the time she created the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary, she had used her divination to see how the future of her descendants would be. However, all she was able to see was everything being engulfed in a crimson sea of light that annihilated all things. And that was what she feared the most.
That divination was related to her descendants, so she instantly connected it to her bloodline. Whoever the person that brought the Crimson Annihilation was, he or she would need to have relations with the Illusive Ethereal bloodline.
That\'s why that cruel rule was created. Destroying the lives of many people that didn\'t want to stay chained to the sect.
The Sanctuary Master didn\'t know what the Crimson Annihilation was, but he was a blind follower of the goddess and did everything according to her rules.
Now that she had used her powers to track Meiyi down, it was just a matter of time until they were able to find her.

Pant! Pant! Pant!
Rina and Seth were out of breath after spend hours on their new favorite hobby, but now that their bodies had exchanged many hormones and many other things, it was time for Seth to test what his new soul cultivation was capable of.
He concentrated on the soul energy both of them were unconsciously releasing due to the Soul Link and amplified their frequency using his new clean control over his soul. Like that, he manually stimulated their Soul link to produce the Soul Resonance.
Rina realized she was receiving a lot of Mana from Seth and wasn\'t able to understand what was happening. Since this was a completely new experience for her, Seth had to guide her.
"Rina, close your eyes and try to cultivate with everything you\'ve got."
Rina was really tired, but somehow, she started to get energy from that mystical link connection she had with Seth, enabling her body to sit up and start cultivating.
She did as Seth told, closing her eyes and concentrating on her cultivation, but she was getting difficulty on handling the huge quantity of Mana he was transmitting her.
Seth noticed that and instead of using his time to cultivate the energy he was receiving from her; he gave up on that and concentrated on regulating the Mana stream leaving from his body towards her.
The greatest part on this exchange, was that Seth or Rina\'s energy veins would not suffer any damage, retaining the shape and quantity of Mana it was able to circulate and produce. At the same time, they would be able to absorb the energy coming from their partner and use it to expand their energy veins, consecutively advancing their Realm of power and getting stronger.
Since Seth gave up cultivating to help Rina, all the energy she was transmitting was lost, but at least Seth would be able to get familiarized with his new abilities and improve Rina\'s condition as well.
