Chapter 104 - Tyrannical Martial Art (2/2)
”I see...so, no art? Even amongst the books?” Yan Zaizen inquired, unwilling to give up.
”None that wouldn't cause your dao to shatter almost instantly.”
Yan Zaizen softly sighed with sadness, but not defeat! If he didn't have one on hand, that didn't mean a mental cultivation art suitable for him didn't exist! One day, he'll find one to properly cultivate his mental cognitive functions and improve his talent in arts.
As for his intelligence, it wasn't horrible, but he was simply inexperienced, like a child. The more he learned, the greater he'd progress. Unfortunately, his childhood wasn't filled with many lessons and scholar studies.
Taking a deep breath, he put his mind elsewhere, recalling the Immortal Herculean Method branded into his soul. ”Now that I've reached the Grand Herculean Physique, I can practice the Herculean Avatar Art.” He decided.
The Herculean Avatar Art was a manifestation-based martial art that wasn't really a unique art within its category. Pretty much all cultivation methods from qi, body, or soul would have an avatar art with slight variations in form and execution. It's because of this that it didn't have a specific grade or level of successes. The moment you cultivate it, it'll progress alongside the progression of your cultivation.
”Use your vital energies to manifest a Herculean Avatar. Eclipse the world with your palm, crush mountains with your feet, and conquer all with your gaze.” He recited the basic synopsis. The Immortal Herculean Method truly had domineering descriptions for everything and he couldn't help but feel excited. Unfortunately, besides this Herculean Avatar Art, the Immortal Herculean Method had no other arts.
”If I can cultivate this, I'll be able to manifest a herculean avatar out of my vital energy and fight with others!”
Pinaka intervened, ”You should be careful when you cultivate this art.” She calmly reminded with traces of wary in her tone.
Huh?
”What do you mean?”
”Avatar Arts are basic, but this cultivation method is beyond domineering and heaven-defying. You refined a Regalia of the Heavens simply to reach the second level, and there's still three more. There's no way this art is ordinary, and it may elicit odd consequences if you cultivate improperly.” She warned, obviously fearing him improperly cultivating the art and causing a cultivation deviation moment that could take his life. Normally, she wouldn't warn anyone of something so basic, but Yan Zaizen had poor art comprehension talent. If something went wrong during cultivation, it's likely he'll suffer miserably.
”...” He understood what she meant. However, how could he just run away with those words? He had to cultivate it regardless!
Four months later, Tao and Bai Lufeng had finished their respective cultivation. They stood beside the lake Yan Zaizen was cultivating above. However, their expressions were filled with extreme fear and backs drenched with cold sweat. As Origin Core Cultivators, they would've never imagined an aura would cause them to feel such a reaction.
It wasn't as intense as before when they were huddled like babies in a corner, but it wasn't that far off. It was like they'd just saw a god before them in its full glory. Both of their mouths felt horrendously dry and their heartbeats were uncontrollably erratic.
”HAHAHAHAHA!!!” Yan Zaizen was laughing at the center of the lake, his eyes filled with an amber-gold luster that felt heaven-defying. His body gave off a strong sensation of vital energy that could put all the True Essence Realm cultivators he'd met thus far deep into the dirt with shame.
”I did it! Hehe!” He was beyond excited. Pinaka, on the other hand, was silent as night within his soul form. Currently, she was hurdled within his soul form absorbing his soul energy like a baby sucking a pacifier. Every now and then, one could see her bow form inside Yan Zaizen's soul quiver slightly.
Yan Zaizen ignored her lack of reaction, clenched his fists and felt like he was drenched in gold. The Herculean Avatar Art truly was domineering and his first true Martial Art that he felt proud to possess. Initially, he had his assumptions about the art, but its true form surprised him.
Normally, Avatar Arts would simply manifest a larger version of oneself, but this art was fundamentally different, just like Pinaka said, but it was spectacular in its difference. This was because of one of its core differences: It was easy to cultivate for Yan Zaizen.
Unlike normal arts which were filled with complexities, this art focused on instinctual feelings for progression, it was very well suited for those with his mentality. Despite this art not having any defined mastery levels, he felt like he reached the very peak in just a few months.
He landed softly beside the uncomfortable Tao and Bai Lufeng. As he was laughing softly, the fear in their eyes lessened unconsciously. After regaining their breaths and composure, they both said, ”Congratulations, Young Lord Zai.”
”Mhm. We're ready to go?” He inquired. They both nodded in assent. Now that they've finished their respective cultivation, they could depart.
