"Spirit Entity? What's that?" Balmung asked curiously, it was evident that this six children knew something that others don't know.
Well, it might more accurate to say that it was Raven who knows things that others don't, as the rest being his good friends, he must've let them know.
"Oh that?" Raven replied, "Hmm, let's do it this way to make it simple. Don't resist."
As they were confused what Raven was talking about, they saw him lift his hand and suddenly, multiple streaks of light flew towards their head. No one had their guard up, and even if they did Raven already told them to not resist. Due to his recent actions, it was safe to say that everyone inside this room could vouch for his character, he is someone that they could trust and they knew that he won't do something that will harm them.
The streaks of light merged with their consciousness. They were stunned to find out that there some foreign information on their memory. As they curiously viewed the new set of information, shock began to grow on their hearts.
What Raven gave them is a detailed information about the three known Cultivation Paths. Previously, it was only him and his close friends who knew this critical information. Back then, Raven didn't want to spread this information due to the fact that he hadn't proved anything yet, if he went around revealing this, chances are that people will ridicule him or even suspect his identity.
However, it's entirely different this time. Raven was pushed into the limelight multiple times, he had proven himself enough to provide himself a steady background even without the support of his father. This is even more pronounced due to the recent events against the Black Curtain Guild. He is no longer afraid to allow more people to know about this, he knew that this had to eventually come out.
Those who received the information had been in a trance for a while. Raven and his friends patiently waited for them adjust and digest the knew information they received. Once they recovered, there is a trace of surprise and delight in their eyes.
"So that's how it is…" Old Lee sighed in spite of himself, "The way we identify talents, had been wrong all along."
"Spirit Entities, beings that are too formidable that even the skies remember them." Leona sighed, lost in a melancholic mood.Despite having their horizons broadened, the adults couldn't help but to feel slightly lost and regretful. How they wished that they've known this before they stepped into cultivation, who knows just what heights they could reach? But it's too late now, their foundations had been stabilized and there's no way that they could restart their cultivations even if they want to, that would just result in their deaths.
Raven of course understood the plight of the adults. He had been in the same situation during his previous life, although since he cultivation was weak in the first place, he had no qualms restarting his cultivation, he wasn't too old either that's why he was able to correct his ways. But these adults are different, one might be able to switch their cultivations if they hadn't stepped into Knight Realm just yet, otherwise it's no longer possible.
"Girls, help me out." Raven called the girls.
Anne, Ellen and Luna was confused but once they felt the spiritual energy fluctuations from Raven, they instantly understood what he was planning to do.
Raven placed his hands before him, the girls stepped forward and formed a circle while imitating Raven's actions. They closed their eyes and with Raven as the lead, an invisible pressure started rising up the room.
The adults were alarmed, they felt a foreign force present but couldn't place a finger on it. Spiritual Energy is a type of energy that none of them were aware of. If it wasn't for the formidable pressure that's rising around them, they might never notice this.
All of a sudden, Raven's body started emitting a bright light. His eyes flashed open, his pupils abruptly turned golden and he raised his head to gaze onto the ceiling.
Out of nowhere, dense clouds started to appear above the room. The adults were alarmed, clearly unnerved by this scene, if it weren't for the fact that Paul and Mark told them that everything was fine, they might've done something about this clouds.magic
Taken by surprise, two blinding lights shot out of Raven's eyes and pierced the clouds. At the instant this happened, the clouds parted and revealed a clear, vast and ancient sky full of heavenly bodies.
Starlight lit up the room. The Starry Skies of the Spirit World brought an archaic atmosphere in the room. The adults could only look up and stare in awe at the ancient sky above their heads. All sorts of doubts vanished in their minds, there's no way that one could fake this aura at all.
Once the Starry Skies of the Spirit World appeared, Raven, Luna, Anne, and Ellen broke formation. The girls felt slightly drained out of Spiritual Energy while Raven was almost emptied. Summoning the Starry Skies isn't a simple feat, he might've been able to do it while he was in his own Spiritual Sea but summoning it in reality for many people too see required the aid of the girls temporarily.
"This is the Starry Skies of the Spirit World." Raven said, though he actually didn't need to since even without him saying it, the rest already knew because of the information he gave them earlier.
Raven lifted his arm to reach out towards the starry skies and suddenly a fierce reaction occurred. One specific constellation shone brightly. Under the shocked faces of the adults, vague outlines covered the constellation, allowing them to see the true figure behind the said formation of stars.
The constellation descended and shone brightly behind Raven. The outlines around it became even clearer. They saw a humanoid sitting in a meditative position. Its face was slightly blurred but what's impressive is that this humanoid had too many arms. If one counted every single one, it would eventually reach a total of a Thousand Hands. It was then that Raven spoke…"This is my Spirit Entity, its name is Gracious Thousand Arm Deity."
Raven then nodded towards his friends who nodded back at him. They too reached out towards the starry skies and when they did, the sky rumbled as five constellations started emitting brilliant lights.
Behind Paul, an outline of a humongous tortoise emerged. Its shell seemed to be as big as an island, its jaw was massive and it had a long tail that appears to take form of a long black snake.
"Mine's the Snake-tailed Black Tortoise, a ancient Divine Beast."
A silhouette of a velvet snake coiled around Mark's body appeared. It has a smooth and glossy skin, a pair of preying eyes and a singular horn on top of it's head. One could see faint traces of lightning dancing around it's entire body.
"Primal Lightning Snake." Mark uttered with pride.
A huge flaming bird appeared behind Ellen. It had a slender body and a elegant feathers that pulsed with life, it also has nine tails and it appeared to be basking in fire.
Ellen puffed her chest out and said: "Vermillion Bird. A Divine Beast as well." Bradley who was listening on the side stood frozen on spot.
Anne stood out amongst the rest, instead of the silhouette behind her forming a beast or resemble a humanoid, it instead appeared to be a weapon. A bow that is made out of an exquisite crystal adorned by colorful lights and stunning edges. Anne flashed a sweet smile and said…
"Mine's an inherited one from my grandmother, Matriarch Victoria. Its name is Annarosa's Bow." The adults were stunned upon hearing that name.
Lastly was Luna's turn. Behind her, an elegant female stood with a dignified expression. Her face was also slightly buried but no one could deny her peerless beauty. She was dressed with a long white dress that was adorned by yellow lights. Her halo appeared like a crown which sits perfectly on her head, her arms were covered with an ethereal looking cloth.
On her back, four pairs of massive wings could be seen. Each wing emitted a warm and gentle light that calmed a person's heart and could cause their worries to go away.
"Heavenly Deity, Seraphim Jubileus." Luna introduced with a calm smile.
The adults stood there, clearly in awe upon witnessing this scene. It was completely unbelievable how such a miracle could exist. It was like these kids were genuine Heaven's Child as they stood there with their Spirit Entities.
Raven's voice sounded at this point.
"I didn't show this to brag." He paused for a bit and continued, "Well, kind of. But that's not the point."
Glares were sent on his way but Raven only chuckled. "All kidding aside, I showed this to you as proof that what I revealed to you is the truth and a sign of trust."
"Ten years is not a short time, but not a long one either. With a great threat looming over our heads, of course I want to help.. And with my help you all will be acknowledged by your Spirit Entities."
