The stele started vibrating and the characters lit up while floating off the stele. They then flowed into the the purple crystal .
After absorbing all the characters, its color changed gradually from dark purple to mottled brown.
The brown ate up the purple until the entire crystal turned brown.
'Hmm, the earth element' Wesley heard Tresse murmur out.
His eyes were glued onto the crystal that had now stopped absorbing. Everything stopped at this moment like there were a pause button. It detached itself from the stele and floated towards Wesley. Wesley took a cautious step back.
Whoosh the crystal shot up towards his fore head at a speed that he could not dodge even if he tried. It entered his forehead miraculously without killing him.
'Aaah' he shouted out as he touched his forehead but found nothing, just smooth skin.
While he was still worried over what had happened, the crystal had entered his mind palace where the soul resided.
Wesley's soul was still in its primordial form and had not yet in a condensed physical form. It was just a mass of greenish cloud floating in his consciousness.
The crystal started melting and combining with the green cloud drop by drop. Wesley's eyes glazed over as the soul began fusing with the inheritance crystal.
When the crystal had shot into Wesley's head , the space he was standing in began to have a gradual change. The green lights changed from green to brown and the stele changed color from green to brown as the lights kept on infusing themselves into it.
Tresse had an improvement. It grew an inch and became five inches.
'Finally, I can leave this place and roam the cosmos' it laughed out.
To Wesley, it felt years had gone by since he started fusing with the crystal. When the last drop fused with with his soul, there was a loud bang like the beginning of the universe in his head. The soul that had turned into a brown cloud started expanding and contracting like a beating heart. After s few seconds, it came together and formed a singularity.
With a boom the singularity exploded and a brown two inch infant looking being with closed eyes stood out. It opened its mouth and sucked. All Wesley's consciousness and bits of his soul were dragged in to the being's mouth. The mind palace became very dark.
The being then sat cross legged, held out its right palm and uttered tow words.
'star form''
Brownish Elemental energy flowed from every where in the inheritance space into Wesley's body. It aggregated on the small beings palm and started to swirl in spiral form as it formed a small brown bead.
The bead was not smooth, it had small bulges and as it continued to rotate, it kept on growing in size as the bulges were smoothed out. Once all the bulges were smoothed out, it stopped attracting energy. The energy storm that had surrounded Wesley also dissipated.
The bead that was half an inch in size started rotating around the small being like a moon around a planet.
Wesley heard a majestic and magnetic voice in his head,
'My child congratulations on accepting this inheritance, I will be waiting for you at the top' the voice came through.
The characters appeared again and shot into the small being and information that he could now understand flooded hi his mind.
'So the small being is my soul'. the energy in the crystal had helped him grow his soul into a physical entity. That is the only way he could receive the mast amounts of information contained sin the inheritance.
The inheritance he got was named STARRY BODY. It was divided into twelve parts corresponding to the twelve source elements that made up the universe.
He got the part that corresponded to the earth element. The Earth element chapter.
It was divided into six levels with each stage having four small stages, the entrance, essence, completion and grand completion.
From the first level to the last level, one had to come into contact with the rules that made up the earth element at planetary level and at each level he had to create a earth source star in his mind palace, a total of six stars. The six earth stars had to contain a particular rule of the earth element that he had an affinity with.
The small stages entailed him to choose a rule, understand its essence, create spells accordingly and then combine all that he understood to create a source earth star.
This cultivation method trained ones body until it was like a celestial body or a star .
At at the end of it all, if one joined all chapters into one, it would create body that could hold a universe.
'huh'. Wesley sighed out in worry.
The inheritance he got only had mnemonics on how to attract the elements, form the source stars and train both his soul and body in to a celestial body of the earth element. It had no fighting spells.
'May be Tresse has them.' he pondered
