After agreeing to venture a little further, Nero and Venix immediately set off.
For Venix's safety, Nero first walked in front of Venix, and made a distance of 2 kilometers between him and Venix. Behind him, Venix followed Nero's back carefully, observing the entire area he passed by.
Perhaps because Nero's premonition was wrong, Venix and Nero didn't really find the threat after exploring the surrounding area.
As this is uncertain, Nero and Venix are patient.
Therefore, the two explored the surrounding area for a full six hours. But there is no result they are getting at the moment.
Taps!
Venix's body landed on the ground with his feet. In front of him was Nero who was currently frowning.
"No need to be discouraged. Maybe you're wrong, or maybe you're right. We can continue exploring this area for a few days before making a decision." Venix.
"All right." Nero sighed and agreed with Venix.
As if recalling something, Venix said: "Do you remember my soul core having the address of my Summoner Rune? I tried to activate it. But nothing happened. I thought, That rune is just a decoration as my identity as a Summoner."
"Is it like that? If so, very dear. But as long as it doesn't give you a loss, that's okay." Said Nero.
Venix nodded and changed the topic: "Since you've thrown a lot of detection threads as we explore the region around us, what if we rest now and cultivate together?"
Ever since Venix accepted this task, he had not been cultivating with Nero again with the Summoner cultivation technique.
In fact, the cultivation technique that Venix and Nero used when cultivating alone, was the same as the Summoner Cultivation Technique. But the effect is pretty bad. If they wanted better effects and increased their synchronization rate, the two of them would have to cultivate together in close quarters and become one.
"Sure, let's go back." Said Nero.
After which, Venix and Nero returned to the trap formation Venix had set up earlier.
Looking for a comfortable spot, Venix immediately sat down cross-legged and Nero sat on Venix's shoulder. The two closed their eyes, and immediately entered a state of cultivation.
"Eh? Our synchronization rate is up 76%?" Venix said confusedly with telepathy.
"Perhaps after reaching Purple Level, the synchronization rate will increase as time goes by without us doing anything?" Nero guess.
"No. In Senior Summoner's records, no one recorded such a thing. If we want to improve Synchronization, we must diligently cultivate together." Venix said and added: "Forget it, whatever it is, this is a good thing."
Nero nodded, and the two immediately focused on cultivating.
Time passed quickly, an hour later.
Nero who was cultivating suddenly telepathically sent Venix: "By the way, let me see the core of your soul. Maybe I found something after seeing the core of your soul directly."
In the Summoner cultivation technique, the Contract Beast and the Master became one. So Nero could also enter into Venix's soul core if Venix directed him there. And also vice versa, Nero could also bring Venix to see the cultivation core of his original body.
Even Nero could help Venix to draw a rune at the soul core if it was necessary.
"certain." Venix.
Soon Venix entered the condition of wanting to Transform his soul core.
Soon two human beings and a small black cat appear on a large blue planet in the depths of Venix's soul.
After being in front of his soul core, Venix guided Nero to head into the soul core. Spending quite a bit of time, Venix showed a small rune encircling his soul core.
"This is the rune you said? Indeed, this rune contains your address as a Summoner." Nero said while looking at the rune in a close distance.
"However it looks like this rune isn't working." Venix said sighing.
"Better not to work. Rather than it working, but harming your own." Said Nero.
Painting runes on the soul core was not arbitrary. If it was not suitable for Martial Masters, the abilities expended would only be detrimental to Martial Masters themselves.
Every Martial Master was extremely cautious in this stage.
All runes can be overhauled and foxed if they have not permanently united in the soul core.
However the Address Rune that existed in Venix's soul from the very beginning had already become a permanent entity. So Venix couldn't remodel it or even remove it.
"Try activating this rune. Maybe I found something." Said Nero.
Venix nodded and immediately sent out his energy into the rune lines that were at the core of his soul.
As the rune lines shone brightly, Venix at the side looked at the shining rune and said: "Rune runs and is normally active. An ability should be active. However as you can see, the rune was active, yet nothing happened to my body. If you look at it more closely... Eh? Nero's? What the hell is going on with you?"
As Venix wanted to explain further, Venix realized that the illusory form of the black cat that was inside his soul right now had an ugly face.
Was a group of enemies detected by Nero? Venix immediately guessed this and instantly became wary.
"It's this for real." Nero said with an ugly face.
"Did you find an enemy with your thread detection?" Ask Venix seriously.
"No. Now I can confirm that I was wrong before." Nero said as he shook his head and continued: "Remember what happened to me not too long ago? I think it has something to do with these runes that are at the core of your soul."
Hearing this, Venix was dumbfounded!
Aye! Since it is my Summoner address rune, why don't I think that Nero is also related to this? Venix felt himself a fool when he thought about that.
"But, what is the function of this rune?" Nero said while frowning.
Right now, his soul was trembling like before, yet at once different.
Perhaps because Nero was far from Venix, the previous soul tremor was like calling Nero to come over to Venix's side.
But when Nero was within close proximity of Venix, and in a state of being one with the Summoner technique, the vibrations present in Nero's soul were different at the moment.
The vibration present in his soul was like it was resonating with Venix's soul, as if it wanted to fill the void of each of the souls of both sides.
"It looks like my soul and yours are resonating." Nero said to Venix.
Hearing that, Venix frowned. All this time, Venix had not felt anything at all in his soul.
"Wait, let me do something first." Said Nero.
After that, Nero made a hand seal. After the hand seal, Nero relinquished his entire control of his soul and allowed it to move following his natural instincts.
For a Purple Level Martial Master, they would guard their souls and would not be easily damaged and changed by others. Nero did the same. So the vibrations caused earlier because his soul wanted to resonate with Venix, and reform his soul. Because of the soul seal that Nero placed, his soul was like being tied up in a chair as his soul wanted to break away from that bond.
That was why Nero felt the soul tremor earlier might be due to the enemy. Nero did not expect that his soul was panicking just because he had bound his soul to be unable to move.
After Nero released his soul seal, Venix felt something on his soul.
His soul trembled at this moment, and finally Venix knew Nero's feelings back then.
"Take it off. It relates to the runes that are at the core of your soul. Let your soul move according to its natural instinct." Said Nero.
With that, Venix released his soul seal as well, and allowed his soul to move freely in his sea of souls.
After the two of them released the soul seal, Nero and Venix sensed something.
They both felt their souls were very fresh and slowly nourished their souls.
