Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 901: The 16th Path

The Perfect Vessel wasnʼt just in any chamber. It was a chamber that had come from the Celestial Prison Realm itself to perfectly preserve it.

Vale made his way to the hall after greeting Chad, Sreas, and the others...

Tap. Tap. Tap...

As he descended, the place grew colder, and the presence of the Dragons became a lot noticeable. Finally, he reached the Dragonʼs Chamber, where the Vessel was also being kept.

The body, or the Vessel, lay in a strange capsule. It was an advanced technology that only the Celestials could possess at that time.

Vale nodded at the two Dragons who were sleeping, and they acknowledged his presence for a brief moment. There was no need for conversation at all.

Seeing through the glass, Valeadmired the Vesselʼs features before he decided to open it up...

Whoosshhh~

With the release of the air from the capsule, Vale then used his Shadow Manipulation in order to carry the body and put it in the stone slab they had prepared initially.

”So, this is a body that Celestial Beings would desire...” Vale mused.

Its features were serene and almost ethereal.

It was indeed genderless, with smooth, unblemished skin and an aura of otherworldly purity. Vale approached it, his eyes studying the intricate details. This body was supposed to be his new form had Denise not cured him in time.

”Ughh...”

He then shuddered at the thought of living in a body without a nether region. Not having that specific physical sensations he had grown accustomed to might drive him insane.

”But... Can I still use this as my Avatar?” Vale murmured to himself, as he didnʼt really want to waste such an incredible physique.

He pondered for a moment as he considered his plan.

The Vessel could serve as a second life just in case an accident happened to him... By placing a part of his Spirit within it, he believed that he could create an Avatar that would act independently yet remain connected to him.

It was completely different from the Avatar Creation Spell that he obtained. It would cost an extreme amount of Divinity, Soul, and Spirit. Because of that, he wouldnʼt be completely weakened, just like what happened to the other Immortals he had met, including the Seven Sins, the Demon Lord, Halvor, the Eminence of the Sea, and others.

The idea was both intriguing and daunting.

With a deep breath, Vale decided to proceed.

He consulted Spirit Immortal Constance, the two Dragons, Jin, Aurion, and even Odessa, with her knowledge about Spirit about this matter, and they all confirmed that it was indeed possible.

Then, what he didnʼt expect was that it would be Lotus, who would actually help him know more about the plan that he wanted to happen.

Apparently, as a Dark Spirit, she was the one with the most experience when it came to possessing or using her Spirit to control another body.

Although what he would do was different, there were still some similarities from it.

”Iʼm ready...” Vale muttered to himself.

After several days of preparation, he finally began the ritual...

Indeed, he wasnʼt going to do this with a Spell but through a Ritual supported by Formation Art and Rune Arts.

Soon, he started to chant ancient incantations. To be exact, he used Ievada and not Oardic or Magic Language.

Soon, the Spiritual Runes on the floor glowed brighter as their light converged on the Vessel. Vale extended his hand, and a blade of pure energy formed in his grasp. With a slow but accurate movement, he cut a small part of his Spirit, feeling a sharp pain as the essence separated from him. The fragment of his Spirit hovered in the air, a glowing orb of energy.

Needless to say, the blade wasnʼt formed through his spell but through Divinity with the help of the runes just now.

Anyway, he guided the orb towards the Vessel...

Vale concentrated on this as his heart pounded with eagerness.

As the orb touched the body, it was absorbed instantly... However, nothing happened.

Vale wasnʼt in a hurry though... He remained calm as he stabilized the pain in his body...

Unlike the Avatar Creation Spell that uses a lot of his Spirit, this process only required him to use a fist-size Spirit Form.

ʼHis eyelidʼs moving...ʼ Valeʼs eyes lit up as he saw. This was the first time he saw the handsome or perhaps beautiful Vessel to move!

Suddenly, the Vesselʼs eyes snapped open with a flash of light. The chamber was filled with a

bright light as the energy of the ritual was absorbed by the body!

Vale also felt that some of his Divinity was taken away from him.

However, he wasnʼt too worried as Divinity could still be replenished. Furthermore, the

amount of Divinity didnʼt exceed 500 points after checking his status.

ʼIs it successful? Can it move now?ʼ Vale wasnʼt too sure, as their connection was still too weak. The link between them had just been established.

Thankfully, he didnʼt have to wait for long.

The Vessel soon sat up, and from Valeʼs perspective, this person looked really impressive...

It then turned to look at him, with its eyes reflecting his own.

Thud...

Just like that, Vale felt their connection grew stronger... It was a bond that linked him to this new form. The experiment had succeeded; he had created an exceptional Avatar that had flesh, organs, blood, and bones!

Though calling it an Avatar might be a stretch since it should be some sort of Possession, Vale still believed that it was an Avatar since it was made by Celestials for that sole purpose.

”Welcome,” Vale said softly, and relief could be heard from his voice...

The Avatar then blinked at Vale and nodded...

”I would like to celebrate this monumental achievement, but unfortunately, we made a huge mistake... This body shouldnʼt have woken up...” The Avatar said.

This confused Vale for a moment. He even felt worried that the body possessed some problem that could endanger the realm!

However, the Avatarʼs next words made him realize that it was finally his time to encounter these Practitioners of Void Arts, the sixteenth Arcane Path!
