9 Myriad Limb (2/2)

'I have few choices for a cultivation technique. Jade Sovereign's Scripture, Golden Bodhisattva's Mantra, and Prime Emperor's Scripture. All of them are good, the first one specializes on absurd amounts of energy capacity to the point that it can blot the heavens. The second one focuses on body and virtue, and is a natural nemesis of evil, that being said, I don't think I'm fit to be a Buddhist. As for the third one, it strengthens body, energy and spirit all of the same time, that being said it is extremely hard to cultivate.'

Raven thought very hard. After a while of deliberation, his eyes flashed with a resolute light.

'I'll pick the [Prime Emperor's Scripture] , doesn't matter if it's hard I can bear it. The concept of strengthening my body along with my energy and spirit is too good to pass. Even though it's too profound for the current me, I'll just lose out on cultivation speed and that's it.'

Raven did not waste any more time and circulated the formula. The [Prime Emperor's Scripture] is divided into 3 paths or chapters: Mortal, God and Demon.

The Mortal Chapter represents his Energy, it attracts and refine energies. The God Chapter nourishes his Spirit and the Demon Chapter tempers his body.

His focus right now is the Demon Chapter of the cultivation technique since the beginning stages of knighthood focuses on one's body anyway. As for the Mortal Chapter he could start that when he reaches the Soldier Realm, the next stage after Marrow Cleansing Realm. As for the God Chapter, he could start it similarly at the Soldier Stage but he needs to experience the Righteous Bestowal Ritual first.

As he circulated the Demon Chapter, Raven felt the creeping itch on every fiber of his skin. Even though he felt like stopping for a while, he didn't do since this is a necessary process to temper his body.

Paul and Mark had already woken up from their initial processing of their new memories for the techniques Raven gave them. They wanted to express their gratitude but they saw the him cultivating seriously and decided to not interrupt him, they got into their positions and stabilized their cultivations since they've just broken through mid-stage Skin Toughening Realm

Raven was experiencing agony right now. Unlike what happened to Paul and Mark where there's a great suction of Qi, that didn't happen to him.

His was like a constant stream. Strings of Qi could be seen gathering around him and forming a layer before his skin. If one had a better eyesight, they would able to see that these Qi are vibrating in a ferocious manner, causing his old skin to be destroyed. Once they do so, the destroyed part of his body will absorb the Qi and regenerate a new and tougher layer of skin.

This process took an hour before a change occured on Raven's body. Each part of his skin emitted a brilliant light and his body shook. The shedding of old skin did not happen to him since the old skin of his was destroyed on a molecular level due to Qi vibrations. Like this he too stepped onto mid-stage Skin Toughening Realm.

He didn't end up his session, he decided to consolidate his new realm by letting his new skin greedily suck in Qi from his surroundings. He didn't wait too long before the skin got saturated, signifying the end of stabilization. Raven exhaled a mouth full of foul air. He stood up and heard his bones crack from staying in one position for too long.

He clenched his hand and felt the new found strength coursing through his body, he smiled and took out a needle from his spatial ring and attempted to poke his skin. He found out that he was met with strong resistance. This is due to his breakthrough, his skin is as tough as a leather hide now which increased his defence.

It also has an impressive elasticity and vigor. His strength also risen up to top everything off, sending him into jolly mood.

”Finished?” He turned around to see his brothers grinning at him. He smiled and nodded, he sat with them and said:

”You guys should have access to the foundational skill on your clan right?”

Both of them nodded which honestly didn't surprise him. He smiled and said: ”Good! Paul you get the Foundational Pole Arm Art and the Foundational Shield Interception Art as well. Mark you can choose between the pole arm art or Foundational Sword Art, anything's fine. Oh! And also grab the Foundational Movement Art as well. Tomorrow we will begin our intense training regimen.”
