The Innkeeper

Moon continued to sleep even after an entire day had gone by, and showed no signs of waking up. If Lex hadn't been monitoring her with his spirit sense the entire time, making sure she was fine, he would have been extremely concerned. As it was, he was only concerned a regular amount.

Upon reaching thirty hours without her waking up, Lex, however, could no longer control himself. He fed her some extremely mild yet effective natural treasures meant for rehabilitation, and while that worked, it did not rouse her. Lex even fed her a drop of his blood, but it did nothing. There was no injury to heal.

By now, however, Lex had learned a lot about medicine. He began using various Glyphs, abilities and formations to heal and supplement Moon's body, and while that did not wake her up, she looked happier in her sleep.

Fortunately, at that point, the system linked the planet to the Inn. Lex immediately teleported away. He first went to the Emporium and placed an order that both horrified and excited Powell.

Lex wanted a spatial treasure that could be used to carry a planet, or basically any other way that could allow a person to carry a planet with them. He admitted frankly that he had no idea how to fulfill such an order, but considering that Lex had the highest rank that the Emporium awarded to its patrons, he would look into various ways of making that happen.

So, while dreaming of his commission, Powell busied himself as he searched for solutions.

Then Lex teleported to the Temple of Fasting. He was not looking for ways to train. Instead, he wanted to know how Moon's situation could be remedied. Cassandra was busy with her cultivation, so Lex could only approach Mateo, the projection that had originally tried to teach Lex before giving up.

"What kind of a ridiculous question is that?" Mateo said, looking at Lex like a freak. "How can I guide you on how to train someone who is fusing with a planet without looking at her or analyzing her?"

"I told you, she cannot leave her planet or her soul will get messed up, so there's no way to bring her to the temple unless I bring the planet here too. That's not the easiest thing in the world."

Mateo took his hat and slammed it on the floor in frustration.

"I am a teacher not a miracle worker. How can I even begin to understand her situation just from word of mouth? It's impossible. I need to, at the very least, see her first."

Mateo was not upset because Lex was making unreasonable demands. He was upset because he was frustrated he could not teach Moon! A human in the Golden core capable of fusing with a planet was incredible. If he could teach her, his name would go down in the annals of history. But this opportunity was out of reach!

This was the kind of situation they did not even have records for. Yes, there were humans who cultivated by absorbing planets, but that only came after they became immortals. For the Golden core level he dared not prescribe anything unless he understood the situation completely.

Unable to find a proper answer, Lex teleported back to Moon and waited for her to wake up while he thought of other solutions. The tavern had already returned to the planet it had come from, and the World Eater and parked Yildrim Utopia near another star and used its power to forcibly insert it into the stars orbit, so the planet regained some semblance of normality, besides the fact that the star was much bigger and they had no moon yet could see three planet in the sky above them at all times.

Lex asked Mary for help, but she had no solution, so he even ended up bringing Dr. Best to see Moon. The usually very confident man was thoroughly stumped when he heard her condition.

But he was not as helpless as everyone else. Although he could not expedite her fusion with the planet, nor did he have any means to allow her to carry it with her. But he was able to identify what her body was experiencing.

Basically, her body could not bear the burden that her physique was exerting on her, which should have actually killed her. But, ironically, it was also her physique that was keeping her alive.

There were a lot more complexities involved but that was the basic gist of it. The only aid he could offer was to strengthen her soul as well as her body. Raising her cultivation would also, obviously, be of great help.

But that was the second issue he identified. She could no longer cultivate in a normal way. For her to cultivate, both her bodies would have to cultivate simultaneously. Basically, the planet would also need to cultivate as well! Or, at the very least, raise its star level in a natural and organic way.

Lex's eyes flashed. If he were anyone else, this would have been an impossible demand. But as it happened, Lex had actually allowed a planet to rise in star levels before. But that was a reward he gave using the event panel for the Midnight games. It seemed like he needed to speed up the return of the games. At the same time, he summoned Harry to the planet.

Harry was not a Nascent realm cultivator. Instead, he was a level 6 Glamour Sorcerer now, and his powers were both bizarre and amazing. But most importantly, he could affect the soul on a level not even Lex himself could, despite being able to enter the soul state.

"Sorry to pull you away from Pete," Lex said as he recalled Harry's four year old son. The kid had a mohawk half as big as his body, and the energy of a level 5 hurricane. He was a walking natural disaster, but he was a cute kid.
