Chapter 29 - Mortal Shedding 3

Vesper sat down and waved his hands as two fruits appeared, one was the blood ginseng and the other was the space attribute mana fruit.

Then he waved his hands again as other herbs scattered around the space around him, looking at then he shared them into different portions and ratios, before storing the herbs left.

"It is time to shed the mortal body to an immortal body."

Vesper planned to do a very dangerous body refinement, from a body refinement technique he had seen in his previous life.

After comparing it with the knowledge he had gained after meeting his 'God' father, he found out that is was a divine level body refinement technique that would elevate his body to the level of a deity.

Taking all the herbs he put them in his bath indie his room and made the water bubble hot, not too hot to burn his skin but hotter than what he could bear.

Then he mixed the herbs in it and let them soak, after a few hours he walked into the medicinal bath naked and laid in it then started the breathing technique that followed.

A few seconds later pain coursed through Vespers body as he grit his teeth and endured, time passed and he could feel his bones breaking down and regenerating and becoming stronger then he took the blood ginseng in his mouth, but unfortunately he misjudged its potency.

As soon as the fruit entered his mouth it was like he had swallowed liquid fire, the heat spread into his heart and his bones as his marrow cleansed and his heart pumped faster and harder that he could hear his heartbeat sounding like a drum.

Vesper screamed as the pain spread, but the barrier he placed, was a high level inscription that prevented sound and energy from coming out of his room.

As the refinement continued he maintained his breathing technique, causing the herbal bath and the blood ginseng to cleanse his body in and out, as the body formation kept going the pain did not lessen, soon after his bones, his muscles started tearing and regenerating, then his tendons, then his organs then his heart, his lungs, and the rest, then his five senses, this was the second to last stage and the pain was tremendous, he felt his eyes being stabbed by tiny needles, and his skin being flayed, his ears dripped with black liquid that came out from his orifices and skin, his vocal cord crumbled and reforged itself, it was like he was being forged again, into a perfect human, after his five senses then his brain splintered, he held his head as he soaked deeper, he kept himself sane all through not passing out for one moment as it would damage him beyond reason.

Vesper felt his cells shatter and new ones form the cycle repeated over and over, and then after an hour his voice faded and the once clear medicinal bathe was filled with black sticky liquid, like blood and it smelled horribly.

He came out and flushed it out and replaced it, then placed another set of herbs inside and sat down in the water that filled the bath getting to his neck then he started a breathing technique, a final part that he found, if he wanted to attain godhood, he couldn't rely on mortal cultivation.

Vesper swallowed the mana fruit and channelled the mana around his body network system, not only increasing his cultivation, but attuning his body to sense and contain mana.

After eating the fruit, Vesper closed his eyes and began to sense the space around him, the second medicinal bath was not a refinement one, rather it was a healing one, to completely heal any strain or tear that might have not regenerated.

Sitting in the bath Vesper drifted off as he comprehended the element of space, space was encompassing all but it was more to that, it could also restrict and hold.

His eyes closed as he sensed the movement of the space around him, then a thought struck him, since space is everywhere and in everything I can cause vibrations my manipulating space to move at high speed in a small area, even inside things, I can also do more than that.

As he spoke he subconsciously raised his hand causing the space in front of him to quiver, then he controlled the space around a glass to vibrate and ended up shattering the glass.

He then opened his eyes only to see that it was dark, he got of the bath and his skin, glowed under the moonlight, his hair was glossy black and his eyes had a deep black shine to them, his body was more defined but still slender, but the power and vigour they carried were beyond belief.

'It seems I should train my second element soon.'

As he stepped out of his room he noticed his sense of hearing had increased by a large margin, even his sense of smell and sight were improved.

'Seems they are all at the main dinning hall, I better stay off the family line, I don't exactly belong here anymore.'

Vesper walked and stayed in the shadows feeling the comfort of the darkness.

"If you want to stalk me, your illusions a pretty much see through now Prince Amon." He said quietly.

Amon walked out of the shadows and said nothing, but when he looked at Vesper he felt he had changed a lot, right now he looked so perfect, yet the same, but like he had been reborn.

"It seems you have been sensing me all this while, so why speak now?" Amon asked.

"Well, your smell is unpleasant to me right now, and you are making so much noise, also I want to be alone so be gone with your fox pet." Vesper said as he walked away without caring.

Amon stood there and let out a smile, and vanished in mist.

Vesper walked around and then got to the open grounds of the Palace, here he was alone and then he levitated, getting to a height of 50 metres above the ground, then he made the space around his feet static and solid, like an invisible podium and stared at the kingdom in front of it.

'I guess I should visit the city again, maybe I can gain more knowledge this time.'

In the dining room all the members of the royal family, Amon walked in and sat down.

"So did you finally see him?" Diane asked suddenly.

"Yes mother, but he seems different, much stronger and more perceptive and he also looks better." Amon replied while his gaze fell on Catherine as he ended.

"What do you mean by looks better?" Anna asked.

"Well…."

The doors opened and he walked in.
