Chapter 725 - 724 - Solid Realm
Lind's Eyes showed the beings in front of him were from each of the Heaven Realm tiers.
A Star, Moon, and Sun Tier were in front of him based on aura but he could see each rise was able to hold a form longer than before.
If he concentrated, he might make out the stars inside the one but the moon and sun were not visible to him at all. He was curious to study them but the words confused his wives.
"I would be happy to do so but I am afraid I have not heard of your lands in the greater world here." It was true. The records had mentioned the same Desolate Song but Elementals were rarely recorded out here.
The Sun Tier Elemental bowed and then a slip of pure crystal formed in front of them! Incredible!
[Permission for you alone. Please do not break hope.]
Some would think their words were not correct but Lind suspected hope was correct. The Immortal Elemental wanted something from him.
"I have to discuss this with my wives at least. Do I have your permission to let them know where I am going?" Lind did not take the slip as it was a deal breaker if he could not tell his wives where he was going.
There was a long pause but he did not feel disappointment from what he could tell.
[May we know why?]
The question came from the Moon Tier but Lind nodded before raising his hand. The Emerald Souls bowed and retreated from the room. Annabelle isolated the hall instantly from any spying but would allow anyone to leave.
The Elementals flickered but then settled as they no doubt figured that out.
"I recently overcame a heart demon. A risk we face in our cultivation path if we obsess over part of our lives. It is not something simple and while I am approved to resume cultivating, I am still under observation." His wives stared at him but they did not understand that Elementals did not grasp things unless you explained them.
More silence followed but he felt pressure on his dantian! Lind nearly reacted but felt no malice so he let them do what they wanted. Ethry's aura spiked but she held it in while Kora's eyes became daggers.
Lind was curious but Qing was ready to protect him yet they had no idea how terrifying Elementals could be if they wanted to be.
After a while the feeling pulled back.
[Traces of poison are in your pathways. You are indeed recovering, expert help applied. We can help, but your status would require a Solid Realm.]
Lind was intrigued but Qing was the one that spoke up.
"You can cure heart demons?" She was curious and the 3 beings looked at him but Lind smiled and held up his hands.
"All the women you see are my wives. I hide nothing from them, or as little as I can. One more is currently pregnant and unable to attend." All 3 bowed at each of them before proceeding.
[Many well wishes on expansion of bloodline, Progenitor. Yes, we can remove the poison but only as it is in the Progenitor. A living poison is dangerous to all. It can be overcome but leave pieces behind to return.]
It was clearly similar to how heart demons could be overcome but then a cultivator relapses and it can return very quickly.
It was easy to see why Elementals saw them as 'poison.'
"How?" Qing was truly curious but the long pause meant the 3 were having difficulty finding the words. Yet Lind had an idea.
"The Qi that flows from the soul is part of the body and vice versa. A heart demon is something that dominates and eliminates all competition. It kills what it cannot use and takes the body. Elementals create their bodies as they advance. The 3 here are Heaven Realms." His words got nods from the 3 visitors.
Sparks of understanding entered his wives' eyes and they grasped the answer to another question.
"Then a Solid Realm is an Immortal Realm?" Lind nodded as did the 3 Elementals.
Qing seemed to digest what they revealed as it seemed similar to what many powers had tried to achieve with artifacts like the mirror once used by the Heavenly Maiden Sect.
[Progenitor, is soul singer a healer?]
Lind was curious about their wording. Soul singer? He looked at Qing and recalled her primary care was indeed healing broken cultivators.
"She is the best so far as I am concerned." His words made Qing blush while Kora pinched him but he only smiled wider. The 3 Elementals bowed low.
[Your soul bonds may know where you go, but still only you are allowed to come. Divine ones, no offense meant.]
The 3 bowed to Kora and Ethry which surprised the rest but Lind simply smiled again. Elementals were damned perceptive.
He took the slip but saw the 3 look behind him before Annabelle slowly looked around the thrones.
[Cousin, you are shining. We are happy for you.]
Any doubts LInd had about manifested aether children and beasts was confirmed at that moment. Elementals were everywhere but mortal worlds could not support them. They adapted into the new races with manifestations like that.
The 3 bowed before seeming to vanish but Lind's Eyes saw them simply leave into the sky as streams of coherent Qi. It was fascinating to watch but he looked at the crystal slip.
Unlike jade slips, he felt it was damned fragile and also heavily restricted. They had keyed it to his aura somehow which was a better layer of security than anything he could think of.
"Lind, what was that all about?" Annabelle was confused but Lind was looking at them back in confusion. How did they now know?
"Did I never talk about the Desolate Song and the Elementals in detail?" All of them shook their heads and Lind tried hard to remember but his memory was foggy on it. A shocking thought came to him as he turned to Qing.
"Could the heart demon know the threat Elementals pose to it?" She looked intrigued by the thought but there were no records at all about the subject.
"This Solid Realm may have answers. If you could get permission, I would love to know more!" Qing was on board, obviously.
"Their cultivation is a little different from ours but a Solid Realm is their Immortal Realm for us. They actually have a body from what I saw before but it is a little odd." He then relayed all he had experienced.
They were all curious about how the core essence of each Elemental would be shed to create a new generation of Elementals with all their comprehension included. The newly advanced being would then become more solid than before as they created a new core essence.
"How do they have an identity?" Lind shrugged his shoulders at Shoti's question.
"Honestly, I am unsure. I did not have a deep connection with their everyday life. I helped with their deceased moving on as they normally would if not contained by the Law Binding." They all nodded but then looked at the crystal slip in his hand.
They all knew he had not examined it yet but before he did, he wanted to go see Lysanna.
"Come on, we need to make sure Lysanna is not left out." More than one pair of eyes narrowed but Lind was not simply looking for an excuse, he was honest!
"Since no one knows where they are right now, it could be a very long journey." Lind knew Cyntilla had a point but he suspected the home was closer than any knew. If it was like the Desolate Song, there could be a public area and then a hidden one.
Still, he moved deeper into the palace as his wives tailed him. He was deeply curious about several things but the biggest thing was why? Wny now and not earlier?
The last Immortal Realm he met had a better grasp of the world cultivators lived in but they had just been newly formed.
Lind began to examine the slip as they moved and he was stunned at some of it but also noticed cracks form very easily in the slip. Even just a single use nearly destroyed it.
He sighed and then focused on how he would explain what was to come to his family.

Far in the air, the 3 Elementals continued to discuss the recent encounter.
[He is like they said. He feels like a spirit.]
The excited voice was not something Lind would recognize. While speaking to cultivators had several hurdles, talking to each other had no such problem.
[Agreed but I was more impressed with his honesty. He let me examine him too!] A female voice spoke up but the last one cut them off.
[Enough, we must return and report. Prepare for the Originator's arrival. Hopefully he can help Soltara before time runs out.]
The other 2 became quiet and sped up as they headed off towards their home. Even they sent up a prayer to the spirits that the powerful Lind Frey could give them hope.
