Chapter 77: Just Ridiculous
Fifteen Days Later;
The entire structure of the mana circuit had completely changed. It was no longer a structure with intricate lines but rather a dark vacuum.
The outer layer of this space was the complete exterior of the circuit. That’s why the size of the mana circuit was so important.
The inner space was accumulated to create a vacuum, while the lines and materials on those lines were used to create the barrier around the vacuum.
This process consumed a large amount of mana. At least, just to pull together all of the space inside the lines took nearly fifty percent of the energy from the Yin Essence Stone.
That meant he had to rest for at least a day every three days just to recover his Yang Energy and proceed to create mana.
Normally, a treasure of this level would be more than enough to support his progress.
But his mana was exceptionally high-level, so a little bit of energy wasn’t enough.
Thankfully, it only consumed fifty percent. But that wasn’t the end. He still had to collect the exterior of the circuit to make a barrier.
The texture of the barrier was similar to a muscle fiber, and its growth was also similar to the muscles of the human body.
But it required him to infuse an extraordinary amount of energy, consuming another thirty-six percent.
This meant he had already consumed ninety percent of the Yin Essence Stone just to reach the Treasured Body Realm.
If it continued like this, dual cultivation might be the only choice for him to make any progress.
But he knew this was also due to the grade of the technique.
The grade not only presented the speed of absorption but also the quantity of refinement.
The process of refining spirit energy into mana was completely dependent on the technique. So, its grade would affect the overall result.
Even if Harmony of Nine Phoenixes was a powerful technique, it was only powerful for dual cultivation.
For normal cultivation, it was still just a B-Grade Mortal Rank Technique.
With the remaining ten percent, Tyler planned to start refining the mana veins.
But he was so engrossed in the feedback from the mana space that he almost forgot about forming the mana vein.
The Mana Space was one of the most important parts of the cultivator for one reason.
It could extract the vitality from the mana and feed it to the body. This was the secret of a cultivator’s longevity.
Without the Mana Space, it would be impossible to increase the lifespan.
That’s why reaching this realm was so important. But this feedback was very limited.
In fact, if his mana was so high quality that it required him energy enough for normal person to cross several levels, this feedback would’ve been small.
Even so, he could feel his life force growing by twenty percent. That meant his lifespan had increased from one hundred to one hundred and twenty years.
More importantly, he hadn’t even reached the first level of Treasured Body Realm.
To reach the first level, he had to transform nine meridians into mana veins.
But he didn’t think about the mana veins for now. Instead, he thought about his current strength.
After all, he had already reached the Two-Star Mortal Body Realm before. That happened when he unlocked fifty-four dragon scales.
Although his body tempering technique hadn’t made any progress, his body did improve. His overall strength had doubled.
That meant his body cultivation had improved for sure.
If his previous strength was ten thousand kilograms without using mana, then his current strength was twenty thousand kilograms.
More importantly, he could directly reach the Four-Star Mortal Body if he simply just reached the first level.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t start with that.
Because he had something else to confirm or even start with.
His original technique was called the Void Creation Technique. It was the highest-level technique of the space attribute.
More importantly, it was directly connected to the void itself.
The energy of the void was something that humans couldn’t bear. If his body produced void mana, it would literally tear his body apart.
To withstand the side effects of the void mana, he had to unlock a physique.
That’s the problem his tower created.
Originally, his technique was just a space technique, and it was still a very high-level technique.
But to turn him into a dual cultivator, the tower improved his technique somehow.
That improvement was so powerful that it turned the space technique into a void technique.
The void mana was so domineering that his normal physique would never be able to hold it.
So, the instructions were given to his brain when he awakened his techniques.
First, he had to reach the Treasured Body Realm and enter the first floor of the Immemorial Paragon Tower.
Then, he had to take a bath in the pond of Primordial Chaos Water where his body would be refined and strengthened by the primordial chaos energy.
If he wasn’t wrong, he did have a powerful physique related to the space attribute, but since he hadn’t awakened it, he didn’t know what it was.
But upon taking a bath in the pond of Primordial Chaos Water, he would be able to improve that physique into Supreme Void Body.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know what the effects and side effects of this physique were. So, before anything, he had to take a dip in that water.
Thinking about it, with his eyes closed, he thought about the Immemorial Paragon Tower.
Suddenly, his body flickered and disappeared from the room.
In an instant, he appeared in a large garden, next to the pond. When he appeared there, he sensed an incredible heat coming from afar.
He ignored that heat and looked at the pond.
Taking a deep breath, he took off his clothes and walked into the pond. As he took a dip, he felt an irresistible energy in the pond.
He tried to move away, but he felt he couldn’t.
As if his mind was telling him to move, but his body wasn’t moving at all.
He slowly lowered himself and sat cross-legged in the pond.
He could feel the tingling in his body as the energy from the pond began merging with him.
’I see! The energy from the pond is constantly attacking my cells, transforming them, but the process isn’t instantaneous.’
’Considering that I haven’t awakened a physique, I should awaken it first, right?’
He wasn’t wrong.
After nearly an hour, he found a new piece of information in his mind.
[Ancient Space Body]
It was a body inherited not from a bloodline but rather a technique. That meant it was a physique that could be acquired through a specific technique.
But in his case, things were a bit different.
Due to one of his parent reaching a certain level of strength, that physique was recorded in his genes.
So, without even practicing that technique, Tyler was able to awaken it.
Of course, while he did awaken the technique, it wasn’t exactly useful, as it didn’t have any technique.
At best, it increased his affinity towards space attributes.
The true changes occurred after nearly three hours.
His Ancient Space Body slowly transformed into a new kind of physique. Not only that, but his normal body also changed completely.
Not only that, but his bloodline also changed.
From an ordinary body, he transformed into a Primordial Sacred Dragon Body.
His bloodline changed from normal to a unique [Great Void Bloodline]. He also gained a Primordial Sacred Dragon Bloodline.
On top of that, his original Ancient Space Body transformed into a Supreme Void Body.
That wasn’t the end.
His two inherent techniques improved as well.
First of all, his original technique went from Void Creation Technique to [Great Dao of Void Technique].
Although Harmony of Nine Phoenixes didn’t change, it did improve from B-Grade to the peak of Mortal Grade.
That meant that by simply dual cultivating with Jennifer Crimson, he could improve to the Spirit Grade.
Just when he thought his changes had finished, a new change occurred in his mind.
His second original inherent technique awakened.
Yes, his second original inherent technique, not the dual cultivation technique that he acquired from the tower.
It was a technique that he received from his parents, only it wasn’t awakened due to the burdens placed on his body.
When his physique improved, he was finally qualified to inherit both of these techniques.
And it just happened to evolve as well.
From Hourglass Creation Technique to the [Great Dao of Time Technique]
At this moment, he didn’t even know if he should be speechless or not.
Because all of these evolutions completely emptied the primordial energy in the pond.
Of course, he wasn’t sure if this was temporary or not.
But he did feel bad about this.
Because after all of these improvements, one thing didn’t seem to change.
His body cultivation did not improve from the Three-Star Mortal Body Realm to the Four-Star Mortal Body Realm.
