Chapter 837
Daniel followed Noah as they flew back to the central territories where the army had momentarily decided to set an encampment .
During the travel, Daniel had never stopped heating the cauldron with his white light, which kept on exuding that gray smoke full of impurities . He would often pour "Breath" in the solid stage of the fourth rank inside it and add other materials until small whiffs of rank 5 "Breath" came out and entered his body .
Daniel had become a complete rank 5 cultivator in those years, and he had developed a peculiar cultivation technique, even if it seemed just an enhancement of his old one . The purification process expressed his individuality and made use of his expertise in the alchemy field, which made it quite suitable for him .
However, he had just experienced a breakthrough . The level of his mental sphere barely met the standards of the fifth rank and put him at the bottom of that level .
Yet, even with all his setbacks and poor level, Daniel was there, in the world where only elites could stand .
"I never thought that losing everything could bring such clarity," Daniel said as they flew . "But I can't be like you . I won't give up on my humanity just to pursue power . "
"Who decides what's human?" Noah asked . "A fixed morality doesn't exist, just as there isn't a fixed path . We just elevate ourselves as we walk through the cultivation journey, and the world doesn't care if we are monsters or heroes . Also, you didn't lose anything . You have more now than you ever did in the past . "
Noah's words managed to surprise Daniel, who revealed a weak smile . He wouldn't admit it openly, but Noah's mentality was still better than his when it came to his approach to the cultivation journey .
Daniel noticed how Noah's character had changed after all those years . There was a time where he would have barely spoken to anyone, but now he didn't seem to mind having a casual conversation that expressed part of their mindsets .
It wasn't a radical change . The violent and sharp aura that usually surrounded Noah was still there, but there was also a sort of calmness that enveloped it .
That was a feeling caused by the steadiness of his individuality and his conviction that he was on the right path . He appeared to Daniel as if nothing could sway him away from the road that he had chosen .
"I know that the Hive needs the magical beasts in the fifth rank in this period," Daniel said as he changed the topic, "But I should be able to make an improved version of the pills now . "
Noah's interest rose at his words . The magical beasts' pills were quite useful in dire situations when he didn't have time to refill the nutrients inside his body quickly . They weren't life-saving items, but they could help to increase his already high stamina and stabilize specific critical injuries if needed .
Noah thought for a while before deciding on a solution that would benefit both him and the Hive . "You can go to the new world after the war is over . The hunting team will need an alchemist, but you need to take a few students too . The Hive needs more experts . "
Daniel nodded, and their conversation ended . They didn't have much to talk about to begin with . Still, Daniel wanted to at least speak to the man that had indirectly rekindled his will to cultivate .
