Aksai's eyebrows raised slightly.
He didn't interrupt, looking at the demon beast with pondering expressions.
Yelia spoke further.
"You are already planning to turn the Verdant Elder's soul into your Aether Wisp by using the Aether Beast ritual. That will give you control over its soul. You'll be able to use it to cast Aether Spells through your command.
The beast's soul would also help you make significant strides in your Aether cultivation."
She paused and glanced down at the beast's unmoving body.
"But the body of the Verdant Elder is still intact… strong… filled with vitality. And more importantly, it is still alive. So instead of simply killing it to extract the soul, you can take a different path. You can form a bond not just with its soul… but also with its body."
Aksai looked thoughtful but stayed silent. He was still waiting for her to explain some more. Thankfully, Yelia didn't make him wait for long.
