Chapter 5: Indra Verma
At this moment, Aadi was looking at Asty with a speechless expression, while Asty peacefully lay on her cushion, completely ignoring Aadi\'s gaze.
"You used a spiritual attack, and as if that wasn\'t enough, you even mixed your thunder in it," Aadi said, turning his focus away from Asty and gently making the old man sit on the chair.
"Well, he\'s alive, right? What more do you need?" Asty responded, still closing her eyes.
Aadi sighed and asked, "Who\'s doing the interrogation? Do you want to?"
"Not interested," came an instant response from Asty.
As Aadi already expected this, he sat on the chair opposite the old man and began observing him.
"Oya oya, someone actually put Reve Mark in his spiritual sea, and it\'s a very strong one," Aadi was slightly surprised, as putting Reve Mark on someone\'s spiritual sea for a long time wasn\'t something anybody could do.
Anyone who has this Reve Mark will have utmost fear and reverence towards the one who put it.
He raised his hand and twisted his index and middle finger a little. The result was a small pocket dimension.
It was something Aadi made in his early days. This pocket dimension can store anything that has existence, be it physical or spiritual, or anything else.
Aadi then shifted the Reve Mark to the pocket dimension, also healed the damage Asty did to the old man, and created a little spiritual disturbance in the old man\'s spiritual sea to wake him up.
The old man groaned a little and became confused for a second, seeing unfamiliar surroundings. It was then he remembered how he became unconscious, and his body began to tremble just by remembering that terrifying Thunder.
"Oiiiiii, are you listening to me or not? Hello, hello, mic testing, hello 1….2….3? Nothing? Hey Asty, look, I told you he\'d become stupid. Now, what do we do? I was looking forward to the interrogation," seeing the old man in a daze, Aadi took this chance to berate Asty.
"But I held back, okay? Who knew this old man would be this weak," Asty snorted in response and said, "Just check his memories, and you\'ll find everything. Why are you doing these pointless things?"
"Who are you?" The old man asked after coming back to his senses and seeing Aadi sitting in front of him. His first thought was, of course, to use his cultivation, but he soon realized that he couldn\'t even feel his cultivation.
"Seriously, do you have a tape recorder in your throat or what?" Asty said in annoyance after hearing the same question from the old man.
Only after Asty spoke did the old man shift his focus from Aadi to Asty, and as soon as his gaze landed on Asty, a chill ran down his spine, and his body turned cold with fear.
He would never forget that thunder; it was even more terrifying than the divine Tribulation Thunder he experienced during his breakthrough at the Divine Tribulation Profound Stage.
"Oh my, looks like you traumatized him, little Asty," Aadi chuckled a little and said, observing the old man\'s state.
"Isn\'t it better then? Now he\'ll tell us everything easily," Asty said as she opened her eyes, walked towards Aadi, and jumped on his shoulder.
Aadi nodded in agreement and took out a pill from the pocket dimension and flicked it into the old man\'s mouth.
It was a Soul Calming Pill, a pill that helps in calming one\'s mind.
The pill\'s effect made the old man calm down, and he began analyzing his situation and finding a way to escape. But alas, all he could see was his death by that thunder, making him shiver.
"So tell us everything about yourself and that girl," Aadi asked, seeing the old man\'s \'relaxed\' expression.
The old man knew his situation, so he asked in hesitation, "I don\'t know what someone of your caliber is doing in this realm, but I\'m telling you that figure isn\'t something you can handle. Even in the Divine World, he\'s most likely standing at the top."
\'So he still fears him, quite understandable, as the Reve Mark has been in him for a long time, so even after removing it, it still left its effect,\' Aadi sighed, thinking about it.
"We\'ll handle ourselves, so just tell us everything. After all, even if you don\'t tell us, we have many methods for it," Aadi said.
The old man still hesitated, but he knew that he\'d die for sure if he didn\'t tell, so he began revealing everything. "My name is Indra Verma. I\'m from the Verma Clan of the Land of Starlight, one of the 5 Saint Lands. About seventeen years ago, I attained the Ninth Tier of Divine Tribulation Profound Stage and was going through the process of ascending to the Divine World."
"But someone stopped the process and suppressed me with just a wave of his hands. I had met beings from the Divine World, as my Land of Starlight has some connections there, but he….he was on a completely different level…"
Aadi and Asty completely ignored his ramblings about how great and powerful that man from the Divine World is. They only began listening when he got to the point.
".....so he gave me a little baby and told me to protect her till she reaches my level in secret and told me to name her Aurora Ashborn."
"So I brought her to a small clan named Ashborn in the Coralhelm Kingdom and settled her there as the daughter of the Patriarch of the Clan…"
\'Why didn\'t he just let her grow in the Land of Starlight?\' Asty asked Aadi through voice transmission, which allows one to speak in another mind using spiritual sense.
\'Maybe his IQ went low after all that Reve Mark is quite complex, and his spiritual sea has some cracks I noticed when I was healing him,\' Aadi replied through voice transmission.
As Indra continued speaking about his past, Aadi quickly interrupted, "Stop! Stop! We get it, now tell me how Aurora ended up in this situation under your protection?"
