Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

"Grandmaster, we're done," a middle aged woman said as she came up to Ning and Ely who were staying at the center of the island.

"Oh, good job Sonya. You took quite a bit less time than Tanya did," Ning said. "Anyway, just wait her for a bit, after the rest are done, we'll leave."

Sonya nodded and sat down next to them and started understanding what had changed after she broke through to the other realm.

After a while, an older man arrived next to them as well. "Inikaka, we're done," he said.

"Oh, good job Junior," Ning said.

"I can't thank you enough, Inikaka. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't break through this time around," Junior said.

"You would do nothing of course. You still had quite a few years before you needed to desperately look for other measures," Ning said. "I would have given you guys pills that would have increased your longevity, but that would have come at the cost of your cultivation."

"Either way, Inikaka, thank you."

Junior went back to check on his wife and son who were finally done consolidating as well.

"You never do call him with his name do you?" Ely asked from the side with a slight chuckle in her voice.

"Come on," Ning whispered a little. "I can't go around calling him Ning too. It just feels wrong using my own name for other people. I will just call him Junior like I've been for a while now."

Sonya laughed a little when she heard Ning.

"Alright, I'll start taking these people back. I will come back to take your niece back later," Ning said.

"Okay," Ely said. "The little girl should still need a bit more time to breakthrough," Ely said.

Ning nodded and stood up before flying with Sonya to meet the other people. Once he was there, he got the people back to their home and came back.

"She's done. She only needs to consolidate now," Ely said after Ning returned.

"I see," Ning said. "Well that helps."

"Are there anyone else left to bring back to cultivate?" Ely asked.

"Uhh… no, not really. Oh right, I should probably get back the three that have been chilling with their kind. They will be the next one then," Ning said.

"Alright, go get them."

Ning nodded and teleported away to the Central continent where he entered the tomb once more.

"You're back. Who did you find this time?" the beasts excitedly asked him when he entered the tomb.

"Oh, sorry. I don't have anyone this time. I'm only here to get my beasts for a few days. After that I will go find someon and bring them back together," Ning said.

"Oh, okay," the beasts said. "You've already found so many of them, that we will be thankful even if you don't wish to do this anymore."

"It's alright. I have nothing else to do these days anyway," Ning said. He left the place and went to the stone door to enter the secret realm.

However, just before he entered the door, he felt something pulse from behind him. "Huh?" he thought as he turned around.

The beasts saw him turn around and asked, "What is it, human?"

"That… did I just feel an aura right now?" he asked. "I think I felt something."

"I didn't feel anyhting," one of the beasts said.

"Me neither," another one said.

Every other beast said the same thing.

"Weird. I was sure that i—" he stopped speaking and looked at the coffin in the middle of the tomb. 'Did that aura come from there?' he wondered and send out his divine sense to check. However, there was nothing coming from there.

'What am I thinking? The Primordial Holy Jade should stop all aura from escaping even if there was something happening inside,' Ning thought. 'Let's not waste more time."

Ning walked up to the door and entered. After flying down from the cliff, he could easily see all the beasts, including his 3.

The beasts were used to him returning every few months, so they didn't show any real surprise, although they did come up to welcome him.

"Master!" Blue shouted as he flew up to him. Aegis and Night flew behind him as well.

"Hey, you all. How are you guys?" he asked.

"You didn't come with someone this time, master?" Aegis asked.

"No, I'm here for something else this time," Ning said. "I'm here to get your guys actually."

"Oh, you're taking us?" Blue said with a weird tone. He wasn't sure if he should be happy or sad that he was going have to leave this place.

"Why? Do you like this place so much?" Ning asked.

"Truth be told master, I really do like this place. I like this place way more than the darkness you keep us in," Blue said. "I don't know what that darkness is, and it is comfortable, but it's also very… lonely."

"I feel the same too. It wasn't until I lived here that I realized what I was missing, master," Aegis said.

"I'm fine staying in darkness, but… I have someone I care about now, master. If possible I would like to stay here for a little longer," Night finally spoke.

"Sigh, I know. I know all 3 of you have people you care for now, and I'm not here to take that away from you guys," Ning said.

"Oh," Blue said with surprise. "What are you here for then, master?"

"I found the Origin," Ning said. "I found it a few months ago. I've been taking people there to cultivate for a while now, and everyone has broken through to the next realm."

"Now, it's your turn," Ning said. "I came to take you guys to the place so that you can break through to the other realm. After you are done, you can decide whatever you want."

"Really?" Blue asked excitedly.

"Of course," Ning said.. "Let's leave now."
