Chapter 109

When Yale reached Tar’s office, he found that a space-time portal was just behind Tar’s desktop.

“Follow me.”

Tar didn’t waste time and only said that before stepping into the portal, Yale just followed him.

The sensation Yale felt was similar to the one he had when he went to the special realm, but for Yale that sensation was nothing, he had used teleportation portals a lot of times to go to the merchant association’s headquarters. Traversing a space-time portal was a bit more hard to cross than a teleportation portal, but it was still nothing to him.

After traversing the portal, there was only a space with about a hundred square meters.

That dimension space was created by Tar to ensure Yale’s safety while advancing and hundred square meters were more than enough to set the formation.

Yale went to the center of the formation and sat there, waiting for Tar to tell him to start the breakthrough.

Tar would be using his energy through the formation to assist Yale, so Yale should start after Tar was ready.

Wyba remained on Yale’s head. Yale’s advance could influence her, so Yale wanted to have her near him to max the benefits she could obtain.

“Yale, go ahead and breakthrough. Take your time, this formation is the strongest I know, but the effects are quite slow compared to the normal ones.”

As Tar saw it, having a slow breakthrough wasn’t bad as long the benefits were enough as they weren’t in a hurry. Usually, the advance to the Novice Rank would finish in less than one day, but with that formation, it would take more time.

Yale closed his eyes and started to move his Origin Qi in order to breakthrough.

In the process, Yale felt that his soul was reacting. The soul also had a great strengthening while advancing to the Novice Rank and the effects were increased due to the formation.

After reaching the Novice Rank, it was possible to use the soul’s energy, also known as spiritual sense.

That was the main reason for reincarnated people to provoke some effects while advancing as their souls were far stronger than normal kids when advancing.

Powerful spiritual ripples appeared surrounding Yale, anyone who saw the scene would have been sure that Yale was a reincarnation of someone, but as only Tar was looking at the scene, Yale’s secret wasn’t discovered by others.

While Yale was advancing, he started to see some scenes from his past life, but those scenes were the fragmented ones he remembered since the start, especially those related to the pain before his death.

Yale’s body was suffering pain due to the formation effects, but that pain wasn’t able to do anything to him thanks to the high level of Pain Tolerance and his previous experience with the Origin Orb, the pain of advancing wasn’t even able to level up Pain Tolerance.

On the other hand, Yale’s mind was suffering from the pain in his memories, remembering the pain of having one’s soul dispersing wasn’t something pleasant. Furthermore, as he was only remembering it, Pain Tolerance wouldn’t level up or had any effect.

However, those fragmentary memories had started to change while he was replaying them in his mind, they were turning more complete, and even some new scenes appeared.

Yale remembered the moment when he gave the Space-time Judgment Sword to Tofesh, and also the moment when he deposited the Origin Orb with Zuatania’s help.

Those were memories of things that he knew had happened, but he wasn’t able to remember before starting the breakthrough.

Yale’s soul was damaged due to being reincarnated with the soul in the dispersion process, but that damage of the dispersion had healed a lot while being reincarnated and in the breakthrough to the Novice Rank, it would be completely healed.

Yale had the intuition that he would remember who was his killer and some more details from his past life before completing the breakthrough.

At that moment, Tar saw Yale’s spiritual ripples with a smile on his face; he was able to sense that Yale’s injured soul was restoring.

After a few minutes, a voice reached Tar’s ears.

“The soul is already healed, now you will help me to modify this formation’s effects.”

Tar was shocked when he heard those words because there shouldn’t be anyone else in that dimension he had created.

However, there was indeed the shape of a human who had spoken those words.

Tar couldn’t identify anything from the shape; he only was sure that it was an incarnation and not a real body.

That incarnation was stronger than him, Tar trembled thinking about how strong the original body should be. Furthermore, he had the feeling that he had met that expert before, but as even the voice was distorted, that feeling was only his intuition. However, the intuition of someone at his level was very precise.

Tar had met too many people in the past, including a lot of his master’s friends, so it wasn’t strange that he had some familiarity to an expert that appears in front of him, even if the expert hid its identity to avoid being recognized.

Tar had met experts from Zuatania’s generation with extremely cautious personalities, even some of her friends had refused to leave any token indicating that they were alive, which provoked that Tar wasn’t able to know if they had died like the others or just hide themselves like Revgen when the chain of deaths happened.

“May I know the senior’s identity?”

Tar felt that the Mysterious Expert wasn’t someone with bad intentions, given the disparity in power and the fact Tar didn’t notice anything before the Mysterious Expert spoken, killing them was an easy task.

Tar betted that the Mysterious Expert was Revgen or someone like him who had hidden since the expert’s deaths started to happen. That theory was supported by the fact that the expert only appeared as an incarnation and didn’t show its real body.

“I can, but you can’t say anything else from now on. Furthermore, you can’t speak to anyone about what happened or will happen in this dimension, including my existence.”

Tar nodded, he didn’t plan to say anything since the start, and the Mysterious Expert seemed extremely cautious with its own existence.

After Tar had nodded, the Mysterious Expert let him saw the face hidden by the cloak and the distortion spell for a moment before hiding its face again.

Tar indeed recognized the other party’s face and had a lot of questions to ask to clarify the current situation, but he didn’t dare to speak a word as that was part of what the other party had ordered to him in exchange.

In fact, even if Tar wanted to speak, he couldn’t. Some experts could force a verbal agreement as a contract, breaking it was impossible unless one party managed to surpass in power the other by a significant margin.

“Now you shall coordinate with me to use the soul-nourishing effects from the formation to seal the past life’s memories of his soul, he shouldn’t awake those memories no matter what.”

Tar didn’t dare to question the other party and simply coordinated with the Mysterious Expert to affect Yale’s soul and then started to seal the memories. However, with the modifications asked by the Mysterious Expert and its influence, the formation turned even better than before. Yale would lose the chance to awakening his memories, but his benefits from the formation increased tenfold.

Furthermore, the improved formation also sealed any effects provoked from the Origin Path; even Tar would be unable to detect anything strange besides the spiritual ripples Yale emanated due to being a reincarnated expert.

“I know that you have too many questions to ask me. However, knowing those answers would only put an early end to your life. Knowledge sometimes is dangerous, discovering some information that shouldn’t be learned will lead to a calamity like the one that happened in the past in this continent. You shouldn’t try to investigate anything about those matters like your master did. She managed to pick all the clues and discovered something that led to her death, don’t follow the same path, your death will be meaningless.”

The Mysterious Expert only spoke those words to Tar, saying anything more would be dangerous, the same danger Yale would face if he recovered all his past life’s memories.

The Mysterious Expert had already revealed its identity to Tar to ensure his cooperation. The mysterious Expert knew Tar’s personality; he would rather die than betray a friend, without revealing his identity there were no reasons for Tar to believe the Mysterious Expert and seal the memories of Yale’s past life.

They forcefully stopped the process of awakening from the memories of Yale’s past life.

Then, Yale started to feel that his memories were in a loop, he was almost ready to discover something else from his past life when the memories had turned into a mess again.

Three days later the effects of the formation finished, and Yale finally advanced to the Novice Rank.
