Temporal Pearls

What he now held was a glowing red ball. It was eye-catching and red. Not only that, the red light basks the surroundings in red.

He looked down, there was a lot of grey matter scattered around. They looked like burnt bones that were brittle and easy to shatter. What he was holding was almost 45% pure aura and red.

Is it enough, Seth thought that if he kept removing the impurities he might overdo it. Because he was feeling the aura of blood more than ever as if it was his aura, and he could condense it to solid, perhaps?

He doesn\'t also want to continue because it may seem that the Aura and Red were becoming one. Wouldn\'t that taint the aura?

"Red is neutral, right? As long as it has no attribute but just red colour to eyes it will not contaminate it, right!"

Seth activated Aura Sight and pushed forward, he kept pushing out impurities until he couldn\'t anymore. And by then he had achieved his maximum purification capability.

Seth sighed with relief and then turned off Red Manipulation to concentrate on the Aura; however, Seth was overwhelmed. The blood aura expanded and filled the house and even more, it encased it in the aura.

Ding!

"Seth was struggling to breathe as the Aura was a bit overwhelming. He has to turn off his Aura sense to come back to normal.

"It\'s like the first time I connect with Living Forest Aura. But this one is worse!"

It\'s worse not in the sense of its power but in the sense of negativity and aggressiveness. Living Roots is a forest that nurtures life and thus its aura is positive and nourishing.

Bear Blood, on the other hand, was an aggressive animal. In its Aura, there was information such as Memories, Emotions and habits. Its emotion was anger and frustration and also fear as it was killed by Little Cub. So, Seth has to combat those emotions before he turned his aura sense off.

He then emitted his aura from his hand into the Blood aura and made it float above, leaving the ground.

Seth can control the levitation of things and he levitated it just above the mansion. He came out and he was flabbergasted. By doing this he knew the Aura tome had some information but he had no time to check.

He floated above and stared at the sphere of red that was more than 60m in diameter. And this represented the amount of Aura the blood of the bear contained.

"The impurities are the actual cells in the blood that contained the Aura. As I removed them, the Aura somewhat became independent and with no container. And without a container the aura is vast" Seth reasoned.

In the Yellow city, when Seth was fighting for his life, he had assumed that if he got a hold of Aura from his head he might be able to influence his body to heal. But his head was a protected dome that was impregnable.

However, as he had attacked the head many times, a bit of his pure mental force leaked into his Aura control ability and the moment he grabbed the so-called 0.9% Aura remains, he was able to feel its magnitude and with it, alone he was able to influence his body healing factor.

It was also stated, even in death, Aura never reduced beyond 0.1%. This indicated the aura from the bear was less than 0.1% as it\'s just one part of the dead body. Yet, it was bigger than Seth\'s mansion.

"Aura held so much mystery that I can\'t begin to fathom. Perhaps I can just learn what I can and leave the rest!"

An Aura is a representation of all a person, being, or even an object is. That means it contained the information and a bit of energy from all that made a human being, animal and an object.

And that was exactly what Aura Tome said.

"It can be bigger. If I can 100% purify it, I believe it will be bigger… no, I think it will dissipate. How the hell will I get 100% then!"

Seth realized without anything to support the aura, it might exist no more. It will dissipate and be part of nature.

"Aura Trace didn\'t!"

After some thought, he realized the nature of Aura Trace was different. The trace was a result of the living being and his environment due to their intrinsic relationship of coexisting together.

Seth shook his head and tried to keep his head where he could understand. He has to activate Red Manipulation and then manipulate the blood aura to shrink in. There was no resistance at all.

And this time, Seth compressed it intending to make the Aura solid. And he failed.

[Quest]

[Solid Aura is hard to make and very hard to maintain.]

~Condensed 9 more Solid Aura!

~Aura Grab

Looking at the quest again, he sighed miserably. It said Solid Aura is hard to make.

"Do I need to make it 100% pure?" He shook his head, "How did I make the first Solid Aura?"

He was able to make it when his body discarded green liquid impurities after he absorbed nature\'s energy. And it said that was his body fluid.

"Do I need to put in my aura through liquid!" Seth carefully spits into the compressed aura. And puff, it exploded and disappeared.

Seth stood there wondering what happened. "Why the hell am I wasting my time doing this? I need to do something productive before my show-off with the next dragons."

Nevertheless, Seth wanted to try something, so he grabbed another blood and began purification.

The problem with starting something was that it became a bit addictive and one will feel inclined to test all the ideas that pop into their head.

Seth isn\'t going to make Solid Aura but 100% pure and see how that\'s gonna be. The purification went smoothly to 71% but Seth stopped bulldozing his power rather he opened his hand apart and allowed the 71% Aura to enlarge to ball size.

At the same time, using the Red Manipulation, he made the Blood Aura rotate like a spiral, from the edges toward the centre. After a minute, he stopped and then condensed the Blood aura to a small, that was when he saw his hypothesis.

But by rotating the Blood Aura, he made all the impurities meet each other and then merged. He then removed them.

It was a success, and Seth was about to continue when Little Cub came back covered in bleeding wounds

"Why did you leave the forest!" Seth shouted but he regretted it the next moment. The Little Cub lunged at him with fury and anger and right before Seth\'s head snapped, it stopped.

Seth felt for the first time Killing Intent.

[You are subjected to a Killing Intent, you enter state if confusion]

[Killing Intent Effect reduced to 10% due to Pure Stone Will]

Seth recovered a bit but the fear was already there. He stared at the creature\'s bloody body and limping leg with fear. He knew now he didn\'t own the Little Cub and how vulnerable he was against it.

The Little cub disappeared in the Womb, leaving him stunned. A minute later.

[Killing Intent Effect Vanished]

He breathed deeply and looked at himself, he didn\'t just sweat but he peed himself. Instead of feeling embarrassed, he laughed.

But the aura he was holding was smaller than it was. And when he opened his palm, he saw condensed impurities. He quickly removed and then...

Seth stared at the new Quest in wonder. One thing leads to another. "It seems that the amount of Quest I will gain while training with Aura might be endless!" Seth thought. But then he focused on the reward aspect.

"Aura Projection! Hmm. Aura Grab is an advanced form of Aura Touch but this projection means what? Or is it that I can project my pure aura outside my body with ease due to me making a pure aura now?"

Seth shook his head and then focused on something else. Hoping he will not forget about the Quest.
