”Grand Herculean Physique…” Yan Zaizen was seated in a lotus position floating atop a lake's surface. The intended plan was to wait for several months to consolidate his body cultivation and practice his arts before restarting their journey to the Presba Capital.
This was taking into consideration the time it took to refine an Origin Consolidating Pill for Bai Lufeng and Tao's own cultivation goals. Of course, a few months may not be much in the grand scheme of things, but it'll definitely be beneficial to perform ascetic cultivation after a breakthrough.
”Your foundation is astounding.” Pinaka softly admitted within Yan Zaizen's soul form. Oftentimes, they would communicate via the soul unless Yan Zaizen decided to take the initiative to enter his sea of consciousness in soul form. She continued, ”You possess a half-step Perfect Aurora Soul, a physique and vital energy that could rival the True Essence Realm, and a qi-cultivation that's been tempered by four world laws.”
If this was given to someone who was tens of thousands of years old, this wouldn't be impressive, but it was on someone who was twenty-two! Xiantu Realm may be weak in the overall scheme of things, but that didn't mean they were truly insignificant. The Xiantu Empire could control an entire realm after all, only those who've taken a step towards rivaling the heavens could accomplish such a feat.
How could anyone who could perform such a feat be considered weak? How could the people they govern be weak? Yet, Yan Zaizen could probably eclipse a majority of the realm's population at twenty-two.
”Uhm...thanks.” Yan Zaizen awkwardly said, rubbing his nose with eyes suffused with intense satisfaction. However, Pinaka's next words dumbed cold water on him.
”If it wasn't for the fact you are unbelievably bad at practicing arts, you would be the perfect cultivator!” She mentioned as if praising him, but it felt like rocks pelleting his confidence.
Yan Zaizen wanted to refuse but couldn't.
It was true; Yan Zaizen was terrible at practicing arts. He's made zero headway into the Grand Heavenly Zone and had to change the Violet Way of Spatial Shifting to something else. This wasn't some ingenious move that should be praised, the Violet Way of Spatial Shifting aligned perfectly with Yan Zaizen's Spatial Form of Infinite Stability, but he simply couldn't figure out how to enter the spatial void.
By all means, this was horrible.
It was like someone tried to solve a puzzle to input specific blocks into specific holes, but because they couldn't figure out how, they threw the puzzle away and made their own blocks and holes. Because of this, he could only use the cultivation art as a reference and had to devise this new Infinite Chaotic Immersion Art by himself.
Yan Zaizen had a dark expression on his face, his eyes filled with traces of reluctance and unyieldingness.
Wait.
Yan Zaizen had a miraculous memory pop into his head. ”Earlier, you mentioned that if I had a mental cultivation art, I could fix this issue!”
A mental cultivation art trains the psyche in a unique way which brings about a myriad of extraordinary effects, especially towards one's comprehension towards laws, arts, or even the dao, memory, processing of information, heightened physical senses, and far more. It was exceptionally beneficial to armament creators and alchemists.
However, it had its disadvantages. It could result in a split in personality, lack of impulse control, too much impulse control, emotional degradation, and in some cases, shattering of the psyche if cultivated improperly. One could even turn into a completely different individual mentally.
A majority of the myriad realms do not cultivate the mind and it has even been outlawed by some races. Even in the Xiantu Realm, the number of circulated mental arts could be counted on one's hand.
Pinaka couldn't help but be stunned for a second, ”Indeed, a mental cultivation art could help you fix this issue of your cognitive comprehension and perception. There is a major issue with that, however. Mental cultivation arts are very changing to your personality and for those who've comprehended a dao, if you cultivate the wrong art, your dao would automatically collapse.”
It's not like she wanted to keep things from Yan Zaizen, but she truly didn't have a mental art suitable for him. His tyrannical dao didn't fit the mental cultivation art she knew, which focuses on honing the mind with serenity and patience. Before she met Yan Zaizen, she was reserved and filled with gentle serenity, but Yan Zaizen's dao has already impacted her personality to an extraordinary degree. They were too opposing.
She could barely contain her contempt, her disdain, or her harsh words. She and Yan Zaizen were different by the core, so their reactions to his dao were different, but give that type of dao to someone who's lived for countless years, seen many things, and having to interact with someone with very little knowledge.
It was VERY hard to deal with.
If it wasn't for Yan Zaizen's understanding of her personality shift due to his dao, it's highly likely with Yan Zaizen's dao, he would've lashed out at her long ago. Fortunately, his dao was still in its nascent form which was evolving its characteristics and gained some warmth. Despite this, it didn't affect her enough to abate the distressing personality traits, but it did let her care more than before.
