Chapter 22

While Friend Theo investigated the possibility of carving a new path through the mountains, Fiyu realized that the best thing she could do to assist was to focus on herself. She had always known the steps necessary to become a stronger Authority, but now she could take them comfortably, knowing that doing so would help Friend Nauda.

She had finally completed her work on two rooms of her fourth floor: the first strengthened her darkness technique and the second was an enhancement chamber that increased her stamina. Normally, she would have begun crafting her second pair of rooms, either of light stone or ice.

That plan had changed, with the possibility of this fascinating new mortar.

Though she would continue to craft bricks, she now worked on fewer at once, only enough to finish her central heart chamber. Instead, she returned to her first three floors and began working on the plans her relative had left for her Immortality Conduit. She had set them aside, in part because they were less immediately helpful and in part because she didn't want to follow one of his last directions for her. Now, however, she set about making the preparations.

Her triple staircases spiraling through her soulhome, which had seemed so unnecessarily bulky to Friend Theo, now showed their true purpose. She carefully carved a circular tunnel out of the center of each staircase, creating a perfectly spiraling channel throughout her first three floors. Spiritual techniques could let her reach through the stone to do the work, but she still needed mathematics and absolute concentration to keep the curve steady so that everything would be aligned. That was why she could only work on her preparations gradually.

Once she had finished making the tunnels, she possessed a secondary sublime material to coat the interior surface. It would prepare the channel to handle immense amounts of power and the coating would only be strengthened if she ascended. Thus she had the framework for her Immortality Conduit prepared.

That was where her relative's guidance left her. She needed to unite the three tunnels at some point and complete her Immortality Conduit, which was still a major project. Relative Guchiro had united his Conduit on his Authority floor, but after learning about all Five Transcendent Monuments, Fiyu intended to unite the tunnels within her basement for increased flexibility.

As she understood it, the Conduit would sustain her body in perpetuity. It was the culmination of her blueprint that flowed into and from her Corporeal Floor: the channels intersected with everything and would fuse their benefits into her. Not only would her body be enhanced, it would retain that youthful vigor forever. All of her techniques would require less cantae and flow from her more naturally.

Or so she hoped. Relative Guchiro was the only relative she knew with a perfect Conduit.

With her Immortality Conduit requiring no more space, Fiyu had great freedom in the design of her fourth floor. She hoped to combine three enhancement chambers and three technique improvements to truly forge herself into a soulcrafter who could help all her companions.
