Meanwhile, Uriah, Rainbow Glow Unicorn, and Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf surrounded Rocky and Rubygon under the old towering tree in the forest just outside the Myriad Beasts Ground. They were on high alert, looking around cautiously just like the guards.
Rocky placed his hand on Rubygon's forehead, and both of them started to glow. Countless light-spots whirled around the two, encasing them in a bright cocoon of spiritual power.
Rocky and Rubygon were performing the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill where the spiritual sense coursing through Rocky entered Rubygon's body. The last step in fulfilling the spiritual power connection was to carve a brand into Rubygon's spiritual source.
Because of this powerful spiritual bond, Rocky was able to enter a fantastic world created by Rubygon's body. His spiritual sense was presented in a tiny human form, just like a cell.
Flickering light-spots shuffled back and forth which made Rocky feel like he was in a high-tech psychedelic cosmos, the sphere of lights speeding around him. The luminescent macrocosm was from the spiritual source, which made spirit-manipulated beasts like Rubygon one of a kind.
The spiritual source gave spirit-manipulated beasts special abilities. The light-spots created by the spiritual source intricately connected the spirit-manipulated beasts to their power. This connection made spirit-manipulated beasts vulnerable whenever the light-spots or even the spiritual source was harmed.
The light-spots looked soft and inviting as they fully pulsated with strong spiritual power. Touching the light-spots would have made Rocky's spiritual sense shake, which could potentially hurt him fatally. It was also the most dangerous risk spirit manipulators took when using the spiritual power to connect with spirit-manipulated beasts.
One way of reaching the spiritual source was through Spirit Possession with a spirit-manipulated beast that had confirmed its owner. Another way was to use the spiritual power to build a bridge. The latter one was suited for any spirit-manipulated beast, but the process was very dangerous. There was a narrow and dire single-plank bridge visible through the dense light-spots under Rocky.
The single-plank bridge to the spiritual source was created by Rocky's spiritual power. He had a grim look on his face as he walked on the plank, for he knew it would be the end of him if the bridge broke. It was also the only thing obstructing Rocky from advancing the spiritual power connection.
In order not to break the bridge, spirit manipulators needed not only strong spiritual power, but skills and patience as well. Rushing would have made the bridge too thin while going too slow would have overburdened it. It required steadiness and the perfect balance.
Rocky spent two months practicing to enable himself to create the bridge towards the spiritual source and had been at risk several times before. 'No pain, no gain, ' he thought. The bridge created by Rocky's spiritual power now was extremely perfect. Unless he lost focus, he would succeed.
The only thing Rocky needed to concentrate on was creating the bridge patiently. Because he had never succeeded before, he did not know how long the process would take.
As time slowly ticked by, Rocky painstakingly realized that this was the longest waiting time he had ever experienced in his life.
Then, the light-spots around Rocky seemed to be denser and its spiritual power was becoming more and more strong as well, which even flickered like current.
'Maybe I am almost done.' Rocky thought to himself. As long as he reached the spiritual source and finished carving the brand, he could finish the first stage of Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill. Furthermore, Rubygon would confirm him as the owner, becoming Rocky's spirit-manipulated beast. It was the most fascinating thing that the ritual could achieve. However, carving a brand in the spiritual source of other spirit-manipulated beasts required a great deal of bravery. A task that even Sheridan failed at.
'Yes, Sheridan was more than eager to do so. He failed because it was extremely difficult to carve brand in the spiritual source of spirit-manipulated beasts without the owner.'
