Chapter 63 The Reason for Not Allowing Daglas to Awaken His Martial Soul

Not long after Miguel and Daglas returned to their room, they received a notification from Bibi Dong that the location of the Temple of Light had been decided.

“Go back and tell His Holiness the Pope that the inauguration ceremony of the Temple of Light will be held tomorrow… um, the day after tomorrow,” Miguel said to the knight who came to deliver the message.

Miguel had originally planned to hold the ceremony the next day, but considering that everything still needed to be prepared, he postponed it by another day.

"Yes, I will report this to His Holiness the Pope," the knight replied. After confirming that Miguel had no further instructions, the knight took his leave.

After the knight left, Miguel prepared to continue his training. At this moment, Daglas asked, "Brother, I'm old enough to awaken my martial soul, but why won't you let me? Do I have to wait until I'm six years old to awaken my martial soul?"

Upon hearing Daglas's words, Miguel immediately understood that Daglas envied him for being able to cultivate while he couldn't. However, there was a reason why he wasn't allowed to awaken his martial soul. Miguel didn't want Daglas to misunderstand him, so he asked, "Why do you want to awaken your martial soul?"

“To strengthen myself, I don’t want to die at the hands of others like my father and Uncle Jesse,” Daglas explained.

"Don't you even think about avenging your father and Jesse?" Miguel asked with a serious expression.

"I do have the desire to avenge them, but my main goal is to become stronger, strong enough to protect the people I love and keep them safe forever!" Daglas said confidently.

"Dagles, you're so young, and you already have someone you like? Come on, tell your big brother who it is!" Miguel teased.

“Brother…” Daglas said shyly.

“Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. I’m not letting you awaken your martial soul yet because we’re not fully prepared. If I were to awaken it for you now, I would be harming you,” Miguel explained.

"Brother, is there still danger in awakening a martial soul?" Daglas asked after thinking for a moment.

“I don’t know if others will be in danger, but you definitely will. Do you know what kind of constitution I have?” Miguel asked.

Daglas, of course, didn't know, so he shook his head. Miguel didn't press Daglas and took the initiative to explain, "I am the Holy Body of Light, and you are the Holy Body of Darkness. That's why we are attracted to each other and connected to one another."

"But brother, are light and darkness mutually exclusive?" Daglas asked with a puzzled look.

“Light and darkness are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. The end of light is darkness, and the end of darkness is light. Without darkness, where would light come from? Without darkness, light would become meaningless,” Miguel replied.

"I understand, but what does this have to do with my martial soul awakening?" Daglas still didn't understand why it would be dangerous not to awaken his martial soul, so he asked again.

"The Holy Body of Light represents the ultimate light, while the Holy Body of Darkness represents the ultimate darkness. Therefore, people who possess these two constitutions will have excellent talent for cultivation."

But nothing in this world is perfect. That is why both the possessors of the Holy Body of Light and the Holy Body of Darkness have their nemesis. For example, I am afraid of the aura of the mortal world. If I am not cleansed of the aura of the mortal world after being tainted by it, it will not only slow down my cultivation speed, but also make me extremely prone to going into demonic possession during cultivation.

At the same time, if I want to rid myself of the worldly air, I need to endure excruciating pain; that feeling is incredibly intense.

"Brother, how can you avoid being tainted by worldly desires?" Daglas asked anxiously.
