Chains Of Heaven

Chapter 32 - 31

I could only look as the tournament finally ended. I had gained a lot, especially cultivation resources and gold.

The rewards for first place for each competition were quite hefty and even with me spending cash to buy the materials for my spear I still had more in hand than I could properly use. It doesn't help that the reward for the first place in the fighting competition was considerable and I won the overall competition as well, meaning that I won the right to learn and cultivate the Divine Might technique from the Association.

To do so I was led into the Association's library.

It was gigantic inside, rolls after rolls of books and jades containing more information than I ever thought possible for one place to contain. It was very well illuminated since there were many mirrors to reflect the light inside, making it more natural and as if a paradise for knowledge.

As I moved I put my hands in the book stands, more and more books were acc.u.mulated inside my library. We moved towards the section for battle techniques, as I look up there ought to be at least a few million books in this place alone. Any and all profound arts created or found in this continent for thousands upon thousands of years were all here. However, this was not my final destination, my guide took me to a closed-door at the back. There were clear signs of multiple defensive measures all across it and I could feel that if anyone tried to barge in they would not find a good end at all.

My guide put a hand in it and chanted something before taking out a key and opening the door.

He signaled for me to follow and I entered it behind him.

He pointed at a blue jade and said.

"This is the Divine Might technique from our Master Teacher Association, it is named Limit Sublimation Profound Art. I will leave you here so that you can study it and the other books in the room before or in the entire library as much as you d.e.s.i.r.e, when you wish to leave this place we only want you to pour some energy into this" He gave me a small talisman. "And I will come to pick you up. Don't bother trying to leave on your own, there are many protection arrays in this place. Also, here-" He gave me another thing, this one a simple necklace that had the word 'Guest' in it. "With this, you are considered an honored guest to our Master Teacher Association no matter where you go. Also, don't worry about the time spent here. Long ago, the Divine Being that descended to create our Master Teacher Association set up a formation that partially copies the effect of the greatest treasure of the Master Teacher Association Absolute Headquarters in the Realm of the gods. As such the time here moves much faster than in the outside world, 15 times faster to be exact, so take your time learning. I will leave you to your studies then."

After he said his piece he left the place and I stood there for a little while before taking out the said jade where the information regarding the technique is. As I took it in my hands I could see it reappear in the library of heaven's path. With it there I decided to take a look and was surprised.

"Does this still counts as a precious technique?!" I asked as I saw that it was at least 60% wrong. Seriously, the f.u.c.k is wrong with this technique!?

Breath Enkidu, breath. Let's try and join as many techniques that could fix it.

I put this into motion, and it improved but it was still at least 40% wrong.

The hell? How defective is this?

Well, there is a way to fix this yet. I move to the previous room where there were all those techniques from across the entire continent's history.

It took me the better part of five hours to store all of them in my library but I manage it and I united it all again.

... There was still 20% wrong.

Seriously, how hard it is to get this technique to not suck?!

Well, let's go and take a look at all the other books in this library. Perhaps knowledge of other places can help on this one to not utterly suck a.s.s.

7 days later

Seriously, just how many books are even IN this place? I spent an entire week running at my fastest speed all over this place, touching as many bookcases and jades as I could and it was only now that I finished it all.

At least, let's try this again. I concentrate on the Limit Sublimation Divine Might technique and focus on fixing its mistakes.

.

..

...

... There were still 3% of mistakes in it.

You know what? F.u.c.k it, I will learn it now anyway. It shouldn't be that bad and if all this knowledge can only take this technique so far then it ought to be spectacular.

.

Limit Sublimation Profound Art is a special Profound Art that has no offensive, defensive, or support ability. It centers, instead, on the evolution of a person's talent. One can only activate this profound art when in a fight where one goes to his/hers limit, it forces the body to bring forth more power and urge the hidden potential in one's bloodline.

Every living being has their own bloodline, we all are descendants to some degree to someone from the Age of the Gods, by using this one can continuously approach your bloodline to the peak and even suppress it. By evolving one's bloodline one can improve his talents and-

.

Yep, let's NOT study this.

Yup, that sounds about right. I have zero intention to ever improve my own bloodline, I do not wish to have any relation with the Heaven Smithing clan. If I do that, wouldn't I be improving upon it?

No, wait a second. There was something on my own book, wasn't it?

Let's take a look.

.

Enkidu

Defects:

- Too trusting

- Body transformation into weapon unavailable (to fix this visit page 157 to 170)

- No current practiced Profound Cultivation

- Devil Blood contaminated by nature energy, making it unique in that it can't handle Darkness Profound Energy as it is. To be able to master Darkness Profound Energy it will be needed to receive the bloodline inheritance of at least one God-level member of the Heaven Smiting Devil Clan (locations and ways to obtain it are on pages 20 to 25).

- Soul has no defense besides the Magic Cube, thus no defense against charm and illusions (to fix that examine page 26 to 32 of the book for possible solutions).;

- Has great hate against current society;

- Don't know how to interact with people normally;

- Heaven Smything bloodline is not compatible with the Dongfang bloodline due to a difference in purity;

- Only knows how to use the Devil half of his bloodline powers, mutated as it may be;

- Has yet to activate his second bloodline secret ability (to learn more on how to activate bloodline abilities, visit page 95 to 121);

- Due to losing **** not long after birth his body's natural potential decreased (to fix that visit pages 134 to 138 for suggestions);

Positives:

- Capable of empathy with others;

- Pure Heart;

- Due to body being in contact with extremely pure Nature Energy from the start, has a great affinity to Earth, Water, and Wood types of Profound Arts and the Laws of Earth, Water, and Wood to the point it could be considered more talented than even a Creation God who focuses in those three aspects, especially in the Earth he can be considered the most talented being regarding Earth laws in existence;

- Capable of generating chains that can seal the profound strength of someone up to two whole realms above him, physical strength can still be used but the stronger Enkidu becomes the sturdier the chains also become. That also makes Enkidu able to cultivate Metal Profound Arts and weapons profound arts;

- As the body is based on a weapon of the Gods, Enkidu can take in any and all Divine Bloodlines without them canceling each other or backlashing on him;

- Due to being from the Heaven Smithing Devil Clan Enkidu can cultivate Darkness Profound Arts perfectly without the backlash other mortals would have from it;

- As was born under contact with extremely pure Nature Energy Enkidu has the adequate talent to all elements, even those he is not particularly talented at he still can compare with those who can be called geniuses in the lower realms in them;

.

From what this say, doesn't it means I have a second bloodline? I don't remember much of this Dongfang clan, but it must be interesting anyway. And, even if it is just some regular bloodline, I may still find other bloodlines to add to my own. It still gives a bad taste to my mouth to improve in this, but my objective is likely the hardest one there is, if I am not willing to do my best how can I hope to succeed?

Still, I really don't wish to improve this Heaven Smithing bloodline of mine.

///---///

After swallowing this hard pill I moved to improve all the Heaven's Path books in my possession. As I now have a much greater number of books in my disposition I can cultivate to a much higher realm quickly.

Sitting down I take out the cultivation resources I have in hand, I create the best formation I possibly can around me to purify and absorb these cultivation resources. This helps me absorb the cultivation resources as I enter it.

But, before I cultivate, I take out some of my rewards from this competition, mainly the pills and other strange things that can help one's body to improve. Chief amongst them are three herbs that I received by winning the Pill Forging and physician competitions, these herbs are three of the so-called Immortal Herbs.

The first is called Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, a neutral immortal treasure herb, when eaten the energy will spread through the four limbs, blood clearing the eight meridians, and you can practice Vajra Strength Body. Although 'Vajra Strength Body' is a bit exaggerated, this herb is most compatible with purely improving one's physical strength. I think people around here don't understand fully how to utilize it since it was given away so easily, but when consumed right one's body would not only improve the future path in physical cultivation would be even smoother than before.

The second is called Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone. Its function is to soften the muscle and mend bone, the clearing the eight extraordinary meridians and thus increasing one's flexibility while also helping clean the body from most impurities. It may not seem that impressive at first glance, but higher flexibility also means higher mobility and speed. Besides that, the simple fact is that this also helps clean and improve my meridians just like the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum can. I expect my meridians to become all tougher and more flexible with this, thus being able to handle more energy and increasing my cultivation rate and speed with each I can release my energy during attacks.

The third is, however, not focused in my body as much. I am actually curious how this one will react with me, it is called an Eight Petal Immortal Orchid. Among all the immortal treasure herbs I have here with me, it's the one with the gentlest nature, one of the most mellow. Absorbing it is easy, but requires a very long time. Its effect is to strengthen foundations and drive out impurities, it focuses in the profound veins and the profound energy making it even purer and helping in future cultivation of profound energy.

I am especially surprised that this one was given to me, but I suspect that the Master Teacher Association might be trying to win me over so it isn't that strange they'd be willing to let go of such an herb. I suspect they must have even more herbs of all sorts in some medicinal garden somewhere so this is still barely acceptable a loss for them.

Not that I am complaining, these herbs are far too precious to just pass up.

Sitting down I start the process of taking in all these herbs, I expected them to be hard but as soon as I took them in they were all absorbed by the Grandmist Spirit Bead. One after another they were all taken in by it, I was just about to cry when the Grandmist Spirit Bead released a single pill from them. I look at it curiously and eat it.

A flush of energy explodes across my entire body, it is simply too much and I have no choice but start cultivation here and now. I use the Heaven's Path Cultivation Art and Heaven's Path Body Cultivation Art, and yet it is not enough. Clenching my teeth I start circulating the Limit Sublimation Profound Art that I just obtained and improved a whole lot. It surprisingly enough worked perfectly well and for very little I could sense a disaster was avoided.

Suddenly I could sense that the cultivation resources I put around me to slowly cultivate were all taken in by my body way too fast, the Purple Card forcefully taking them all in as it forced this energy into my profound veins with extreme purity but also vigor.

Do these items inside me want me to drop dead?! The f.u.c.k is wrong with this?!

I can only take it in, I cannot control them at all and even if these items suddenly want me dead I will not simply die, I refuse to do so!
