Chapter 89 - One Man Army (1/2)
While all the commotion was going on in the spider clan, Hao Xuan's body was floating inside the cocoon. His entire body was being broken down and reconfigured according to the physique scripture.
From every single muscle, blood vessel, and bone fragment down to the very cell, it was all coming apart and then getting put back together. If anyone could see his current condition they would be horrified.
When the cocoon was initially formed, Hao Xuan had already passed out. And who could blame him, half his body had exploded to form the cocoon.
And although his body was still in the cocoon, his mind was elsewhere. Right now his consciousness was in the Mind Palace. This would be where all the cultivated manuals and techniques would be kept. They were each in the form of different books.
-Wrath of Deimos
-Infernal Rapture
-Demonic steps
These three were the only ones there. 'The Last Strike of Samsara' which was gifted to him by the unknown person that was caring for Zhurong and the Physique scripture were absent.
This was so because he had obtained the others through normal means, whereas these two were directly implanted into his brain by foreign powers.
They were gifts that could only be used by him and him alone. Even if he wanted to teach the techniques to others it would not be possible.
Meaning he could use them normally, but he could not pass them along to anyone else.
This method was used in many places when it came to buying and selling of secret manuals and scriptures.
It was like leaving a single copy for the user which would disappear when it was learned by them.
Other than these three books there was a small blob of light floating next to them.
”Is this it?” Hao Xuan thought and touched it with his hand. All of a sudden a massive amount of information appeared in his mind. This was the explanation Meng had left behind for Hao Xuan.
It explained everything from Physiques to constitutions and several things about cultivation and the world.
A normal person was born with one soul and one physique. In some rare cases, people with an extra something would be born. That was the constitution.
A physique was the type of physical body. Normal human beings would have mortal physiques but there were some that were born with special ones as well.
These people would have some abilities like extra toughness, elasticity, elemental bodies where they could turn themselves into one of the elements, beast bodies where a person would have the appearance and abilities of other beasts etc.
The variations were endless. A lot of powerful cultivators and clans had their own physiques like the infamous Yin Yang Physique, Poison physique, Heavenly Jade Physique, Black Ice Physique etc.
