The Guardian and Mira soon appeared in front of a large black altar. On top of that altar sat a purplish-black orb. The orb wasn't very big, only slightly larger than an adult's palm, but one didn't even need to look at it to know that this orb was far from normal.
Quickly, Mira's eyes gravitated toward this orb and as soon as she got a good look at it, she almost lost her mind, her soul was nearly destroyed, and she almost died. She instinctively knew that this death would be the worst kind of death. Not only would she not be granted reincarnation, but her entire existence would be wiped from the river of time! Her past, present, and future would be gone and anyone who ever knew her would have forgotten she ever existed.
If not for her being the True Successor of the Firmament of Limitless Death and Infinite Life (F.L.D.I.L for short) then that would've been her fate.
Mira was already drenched in sweat at this point and just hoped that she would get through this encounter alive. Consequently, she failed to notice that even The Guardian dared not look directly at the orb.
"This is the last reward that I told you about. The Orb of Limitless Death and Infinite Life! I told you before that this thing not only gives you control over this space and all of its functions and is proof that you are the true successor, but once it enters your body it will provide countless benefits to you. Go ahead and take it. Once you put your hands on it, the orb will do the rest for you."
The Guardian smiled and urged Mira to start walking towards it. Mira, who was barely in her right state of mind, found herself walking towards it subconsciously. She didn't need the Guardian to tell her because after looking at the orb, she felt like it was a part of her body that she's been missing all this time. Like a limb, she never thought she had or maybe a second brain that was taken away from her.
The closer she got the stronger this feeling became and even the orb started to vibrate in her presence as if it was excited.
It didn't take long before she reached the altar. She stared at the orb for a few seconds before slowly raising both her arms and grasping the orb with her hands.
As soon as she touched the orb, new information was pouring into her mind, but she was unable to focus on that at the moment because as soon as she touched the orb it started melting as she actually started absorbing it into her body!
She felt some pain, but it wasn't nearly enough to put so much as a frown on her face.
She just focused on what was going on inside her body at the moment and was a bit surprised to see the melted orb taking shape around her dantian, almost like an eggshell. And her conjecture wasn't wrong based on the information that appeared in her mind about the orb.
One of its functions is to enhance her core, but since her Core hasn't been formed yet, it's now going to act as something akin to an incubator for her core until she finally makes a breakthrough. It'll also help in refining the items she needs to form a perfect Core for herself. Now, Mira understood why there were so many ingredients in the recipe and why there were plenty of items that even if she had gotten she wouldn't be able to use them, either due to the strength of the item or the energy contained within them.
Take the Immemorial Dao Comprehension Ice as an example. Even if she were to sit there and hack at it with her scythe, she might not be able to leave a scratch on it even if she kept at it for a hundred years! How could she possibly use such a high-level ingredient for her core if she can't even damage it much less absorb it?
The orb forming around her dantian will take care of everything for her while using everything at its maximum potential. Truthfully, Mira wouldn't have been able to form a 'perfect core' without this orb, however, Mira wasn't surprised by this. How can something made by a Foundation Realm ant like her be considered 'perfect'? If she were to form her Core by herself there would've been some flaws and she would've had to compromise a bit simply because she neither has the resources, wealth, or background to collect everything she would've wanted.
Even if she did, it's not like she's ever formed a Core before and it's simply impossible for her to make a perfect one on the first try.
However, things are different with the orb in her body. Not only that, but she received a recipe that the orb itself created for her so she could form the perfect Core that held unlimited potential. She also knew from the knowledge she received that the recipe was created based on the items she currently holds in her possession.
Somehow, it knew all of the things Mira had gathered in the Secret Realm and used that as a baseline. Apparently, she's gotten a few really good things like the Immemorial Dao Comprehension Ice. Not only that but having the blood of a Frost-Fire Phoenix and a Golden Empyrean Winged Wolf are priceless items that hold immense power and unlimited potential, even if they are incredibly weak right now for their respective races. Those three, along with a few other rare items she's obtained had really made things a lot easier for Mira in terms of items needed for her to form a perfect Core.
Honestly, just the blood of either one of those beasts is more than enough for most people to form a top-notch core that might not show up in a moral cultivation world for millions of years.
It was only now that Mira understood how heaven-defying the blood of those beasts was. However, her thoughts slowly drifted in a weird direction as she thought of draining a bit of Rhydian's blood and giving it to her companions.
They wouldn't need anything else and could just use that to create an almost unparalleled Core. If they go out and find their own unique items then they can create a Core that would only be below hers in the entire mortal cultivation world.
Back to the process of her body absorbing the orb, Mira saw that it might take a few minutes for the orb to finish forming around her dantian, so she started sorting through the new knowledge she obtained.
Surprisingly, she received a bunch of knowledge from the orb that went into a bit more detail about what exactly she's inheriting. She also received knowledge on all the items that are currently in the 'store' that can either be bought with points from the Abyssal Battle Ladder or that she can redeem by going through whatever bullshit trials this place has to offer.
However, she was only limited to every item that has a prerequisite of reaching Step 999 or below on the Abyssal Torment Steps. Anything above that was sealed and will only be unlocked when she reaches the required steps.
Aside from that, Mira actually learned that this entire place including the Infinite Garden, the Storage Space, Abyssal Battle Ladder, and even the Abyssal Torment Steps will be directly transported to her Soul Sea when she leaves this place.
Though from her understanding, that's just where it'll be 'anchored' because it won't really be in her Soul Sea. It'll be in a different dimension that only the Firmament of Limitless Death and Infinite Life has access to. So whenever she wants to use its functions, her physical body will actually be sent to that different dimension so she can do whatever she needs to do in this place.
There are a few exceptions though. She can access the storage room and Infinite Garden through her Soul Sea without having to actually be teleported inside this place.
However, with pretty much everything else, she'll need to teleport her physical body here in order to access the rest of the functions.
As for the functions of the orb itself and the benefits it can bring to Mira other than helping her form the perfect Core, all she knows is that once she breaks through to the Core Formation Realm is when she'll start receiving those benefits. For now though, she has no idea what they actually are, but she has high expectations.
A few minutes passed by in a flash and the orb was now fully formed around her dantian. As soon as that was completed, the room around her started to tremble, but it wasn't because she did anything. No, it was from the Guardians booming laughter that was so loud it caused the room to shake!
