《The Lonely Wanderer》Chapter 34: Cradle Of Souls
Advertisement
One month bitterly passes by, instead of cleansing the blackness over his mental state. Within the first week of being sandwiched by the two currents of separate elements, the blackness used both currents to evolve, gaining spirituality. Feeling the frustration build up in himself, every time Shenzi would try a new way to dispel it, it would just mock Shenzi for putting in the effort to cleanse it.
Recently having once again become "whole" again, the twin Shenzi laughs out loud "You moron, you spent one-month wasting your time. Trying to cleanse this, while not focusing on your cult...." Before the twin could finish his sentence, Shenzi had already punched him in the mouth."
Looking at each other with building anger, Twin Shenzi is the first to lash out. "Why you mother fucker, this thing could be a boon for you instead. Excellent want to put me in a foul mood?"
Throwing himself at the original, both Shenzi's get into a street brawl like two thugs fighting over turf. The blackness was sitting back and watching this laughing out mockingly. Just like two cats who had their tails stepped on, both Shenzi's combine their palms with the Equinox and Blazing Ice Heart.
Compressing the two different flames, forming into the shape of a dragon. Both Shenzi's fire the flame dragon at the blackness. With it easily dodging and getting away, both Shenzi's look at each other not knowing what to do.
Having wasted another thirty minutes, the twin Shenzi says to original "Get out of here and stop spending your time wastefully dumbass. While this thing won't harm you yet, I will think of a way to convert it. Or if you're not interested, I will use it to form myself a physical body."
Exiting his Spiritual World and leaving the cave. Shenzi begins sorting out all the loot he gained from eradicating multiple races and plundering their treasuries. Separating them into piles of Weapons, Armours, Manuals, Maps, Alchemy Plants and so forth.

Looking at one map with the most detail, Shenzi finds his location to be about 100,000 kilometres away from the city where his fight will be in just under 1 1/2 months away. Along the way, Shenzi will have to cross over a level 5 danger zone called Soul Cradle. A place where the souls of passed on cultivators with dreams unfulfilled. Many had become Ghouls, Spectres and various other evil entities.
What's most important about Cradle Of Souls, various clans are bunched up together. There was also a treasure chest drawn on the map, with a symbol of a crown. Without any knowledge, all Shenzi can do is assume the treasure will be something rare, but also extremely difficult to gain for his self. Moreover, with his Retribution Flames able to cleanse the impurities and his various other flames to purify the quality. It's the perfect place to gain treasure, as well as boosting his star rank by leaps and bounds.
With his fleshly body hugely upgraded after absorbing the essence of 12,500,000 life forms. Shenzi's previous speak speed of 350 metres a second has turned into 850. What usually would have taken him one week, Shenzi had managed to cross in two days, without stopping to rest at all. Still feeling hugely energetic and not one bit tired, Shenzi can't help but marvel at the change, in his fleshly might by more than two-fold.
Upon entering Cradle Of Souls, Shenzi feels the thick aura of death. To his surprise, the spiritual blackness joyfully begins absorbing the deathly aura in relish. Feeling the increase in its growth skyrocket, Shenzi can't help but feel a little at a loss. What troubles a person the most, is when their life is not in their hands. For example, being born with a naturally weak heart.

After walking for two hours killing tens of ghouls and spectres. Shenzi comes across the first group of humans so far. Walking up to the group around the bonfire roasting a mutant beast, Shenzi raises his hands while moving forward and speaks out. "Good evening friends, I mean no harm. I lost my way. And I was wondering if I could be shameless enough to look at your map?"
The leader of the group sizes Shenzi up and down. Then a stupefied expression comes across his face, taking out a sheet on it and hurrying his group to gather. After looking at the sheet and Shenzi a few times, a hint of greed flashes through the leader's eyes. "Brothers, lady luck seems to be hinting to us our windfall has arrived. This is the man wanted by the City Leader. If we manage to claim this mans head and bring it back, we will be awarded riches and freedom."
Seeing the situation turn into an unfavourable one. Shenzi pulls out a bow and compresses his Retribution Flames to form a miniature sun. Raising the bow and shooting the small sun. Arriving 750 metres high into the sky. The miniature sun absorbs the surrounding heat in four-kilometres. The sun reaching to an extreme level of heat ignites forming twenty-five, ten-metre blazing gold arrows.
The group looks on at Shenzi's act with playful eyes. The leader can't help but feel something amiss. But seeing the target aimlessly shoot a glob of energy into the sky for no apparent reason. The leader lets down his guard, contrary, the twenty-five blazing gold arrows rain down.
Looking up in shock to the large blazing gold arrows, the group leader shows his exceptional talent in controlling his men. Ordering his men to retreat but it was already too late. Just as the scattered group made it no further than 100 metres, with a lock-on feature each arrow meeting a target. Each arrow explodes forming thousands of mini arrows. Building a cage in an umbrella formation, the thousands of arrows pierce through each person sending them to a painful but quick death.
Looting the dead bodies then incinerating them. Shenzi mutters to himself. "It seems I will have to be more careful. There must be more groups like these guys, training here or looking for treasure."
Comparing his detailed map to the one he looted from this group. With less detail about the depths of the Cradle Of Souls, but more on the danger, traps and, various other places containing precious herbs and treasures.
After thoroughly looking over this map, a bright smile appears on Shenzi's face. "It seems like this place will be fun. With a humanoid peak third stage existence that is a master in Sabres. I look forward to fighting it. If I kill enough in its territory, I believe I will be able to lure it out. No existence can swallow the anger, of someone else challenging its authority."

The Ancient Tree's Journey
On a planet far away from Earth, an ancient tree lives inside a beautiful forest. When the tree realises that its life is coming to an end, it creates a seed without a soul. The seed begins a long journey, being passed from person to person, until it finally collides with the soul of a girl from Earth and sprouts. With her human knowledge, the girl tries to survive in this world... as a tree. Note: This is my first time writing a novel, so my writing style might be a little rough around the edges sometimes, especially the first twelve are still amateur style. I'll probably rewrite them at some point... later perhaps. Also, the MC will be introduced in chapter 13. The first twelve chapters are more of an introduction to the world, so they bear little significance to the main story. Still, I recommend reading it if you want to get a better view of the world. Chapter releases once every four days.
