Guild Wars-Novel

Of course, that was just one aspect to it. There were a lot more benefits to having Spiritual Energy around, as it was more directly beneficial to living species, nourishing their bodies and genetics from birth.

Worldly Energy unfortunately did not do as much. It was certainly easier to absorb and use, and also did most of what Spiritual Energy did, bit it was not as proactive.

Worldly Energy was more for inanimate objects and the planet itself to benefit from rather than the living beings, while Spiritual Energy was the opposite. Of course, both could do the work of the other, but not as good.

For example, Spiritual Energy could nourish inanimate objects with special characteristics and create Heavenly Treasures, or enough Spiritual Energy could be gathered to create a Spirit Stone, or Spirit Stone mine.

However, it was nowhere as good as Worldly Energy in this regard, because Worldly Energy could easily turn inanimate objects to treasures. Look at how Blacksmithing and Alchemy worked, every step used Worldly Energy to purify and assist, causing the final product to be so powerful.

Aside from that, Spiritual Energy was hard to convert upwards. When a cultivator reached Ascension stage and began converting their Spirit Energy into Immortal Energy, it took the average fellow with mid talent hundreds of years to achieve it.

Even those Heaven's Chosen young masters and the protagonists with systems took a few months to achieve it with plenty of nonsensical events in between. Where as for Worldly Energy, just gather enough of it in one are and it would automatically convert upwards to Aetheric.

Dragons did nothing but breathe in lots of Worldly Energy to sustain their massive power and lifeforce, causing Aether Crystals to be produced. There were no such things as Worldly Energy mines because once something like was created, it would upgrade to an Aether Crystal mine due to the density of Worldly Energy in one place.

Lets take the most common Spirit Gathering Array used by cultivators to gather Spirit Energy for whatever purpose. It gathers Spirit Energy just like that and doesn't turn it into Immortal Energy.

But replicate something like that here, and you'd be drowning in Aetheric Energy you could barely even control.

However, the presence of Spiritual Energy here was just as the AI said, the fellows in the Inner Universe would have to deduce cultivations techniques and ways to use to themselves

Well, they would if they didn't have Tianzi and Xue'er, the two ancestors of the Dragon and Phoenix Sect. Not to mention there was Nakiu who was from the genuine Eastern Fantasy universe which was far more developed than anything Tianzi and Xue'er could imagine.

Of course, Nakiu did not have the authority to enter the inner universe because he only had Draco's basic trust right now, so everything was up to Tianzi and Xue'er.

Anyway, now that Draco was done with the Eternal Tree, he now moved onto to working on the Dragorugio set, as well as the Dragoira set. They had both been stuck at the Legendary stage all this while despite being evolvable.

At first, Draco did not know what was necessary to upgrade it, but he knew that it depended on the quality of his bloodline. When he first got his, he was still at his base 95% and it was at the Epic stage.

After he got Refinement and absorbed Norma's Source Origin and added his upgraded bloodline, he knew that it required energy and purer bloodline source to upgrade.

Luckily, he had both of those in abundance right now and so did Eva.

The two gathered with Shuangtian in the special area Draco reserved for crafting in the castle. Draco and Eva removed her bloodline formed robes which covered their sets and returned to their normal look in the game.

Draco was with his cape and his black set that looked like dragon scales with a lions medallion in the center, which was the Seal of Camelot.

Eva was with her own cape, the Celestial Coronet Draco made for her, and her white colored medium armor that was spiky and scaly, forming a full upper body defense and a skirt below her waist, exposing her sumptuous glowing thighs that were squeezed by her boots which reached above her knees that looked like a dragonoid's feet.

As for Shuangtian, she was still wearing her eastern style empress robes that were golden-brown and had the sigil of a five clawed Dragon. Draco and Eva had always wanted to ask why she was so fixated on the Jade Empress roleplay thing, but she glanced at them sharply and they didn't dare to bring it up.

Naturally, the two hypocrites didn't realize that they were also roleplaying as a Devil and a Goddess which was the reals reason Shaungtian looked at them like that.

Did these two even put in any effort to be shameless anymore?

Anyway, the two of them began to infuse their bloodline source and energy into the sets, feeling no strain. At 100%, their only problem was with efficiency, never with quantity or necessarily quality.

In fact after 30 minutes, the sets felt like they were 'stuffed' and Draco and Eva were barely even getting into the groove. They could only share a look and sigh.

The sets on their bodies glowing with a resplendent light and shifted a little, but remained around 90% the same after the light died down 20 minutes later.

Draco and Eva shared a look and decided to check the upgraded details.
