BXBX NOVEL Chapter 16
A projection of the whole realm was now present in his mind. Long Tao got to see the visualize every single corner of the world and had access to everything.
There were also places, which were specifically designed for the practice of the Ancient crimson arts.
He needed to talk with the manager and the puppet master for more verification. He came to understand that although he is the inheritor and the current young master of his realm, he didn’t have any authority on any of the members currently present in the domain.
Only after he becomes powerful enough will he be able to sit on the throne.
The throne itself was one of the biggest centers of comprehensions and memory storage, a vast sea of knowledge.
.........................................................
.....
Long Tao, if he wanted or needed to understand some complicated things, can come and gather comprehension and memories from the throne artifact. Long Tao complied with the wishes and went outside the throne room.
Seeing Long Tao coming out, both the figures approached him.” I suppose you were successful in obtaining the inheritance and have been briefed about the whole location.
You can summon both the person and me besides, if you need access to anything, or clear your doubt about anything. What do you desire to do next?”
.............................................................
Although Long Tao wished to move around the whole space first and look into all the pavilions, he suppressed it and asked the puppet to take him to a cultivation cave first.
The figure complied, and soon Long Tao was in- front of the cave. Long Tao had the whole place to himself. So, he decided first to cultivate the Origin avatar art and see how many avatars he can conjure.
Long Tao sat down in the cave, closed his eyes, and then began chanting the mantra enlisted in the origin avatar scripture.
According to the description, the first step was to build a powerful soul. Long Tao had long achieved it with the help of heaven pestle formula. The next part was to slash, tear, and divide your soul into a fine number of pieces.
One would know the number of parts and the limit of his soul division because, in the end, any further divide will lead the soul to get harmed.
................................................................
The next part was to create bodies, with the help of one’s blood essence, and hence required a considerable amount of resources.
Long Tao had already consulted about it with the figure, and the figure assured him that the Qi would be sufficiently provided by the formations present in the room. The treasury will provide the other resources for consumption and recreation of blood essence.
Soon lots of beast corpse of second-level beasts started pilling up beside Long Tao. He thanked the figure and noted that, even if space had an enormous amount of stacked resources that can support his cultivation ceaselessly, he will still start gathering his supplies and create and a new set of ware and storehouses of his own.
..............................................................
The realm, which was within an artifact whose level Long Tao was not able to gauge, can be utilized as a storage space. Also, one can even store living organisms in the area, like plants, demonic beast mounts, and other stuff.
The Qi here was far purer, concentrated, and mightier than the outside. Hence the quality of the beasts which will grow in these environments or the plants which are planted here will have a much higher quality than the outside (be it strength or the effectiveness).
The artifact was now a life source treasure that had bonded itself with Long Tao; he can quickly enter the space with just a thought and also bring with him other things.
The artifact grew alongside Long Tao, and his strength develops, more functions would be open. But he knew the fact that, unless he has invincible power, and even he has it, this world, the artifact will not be disclosed.
......................................................
Long Tao soon started cultivating, and as the chants proceeded, his soul begins to tear. The pain was incomparable to anything he ever had experienced.
Even the Heavenly Pestle was not this painful to bear. It was physically tearing his soul into pieces. But Long Tao knew he couldn’t stop now. If he wanted to achieve invincibility, he had to make sacrifices and go through the experience of hell.
He concentrated, clenching his teeth, biting his lips, blood started dropping out, but it kept him aware and conscious.
..............................................................
The process continued, unknown to Long Tao, the heaven Pestle present started glowing, and an invisible form of energy started flowing into the process. He persisted, and soon it came to an end.
Long Tao steadied himself and took a break. He soon slept for some time. Waking up and readying himself, he started to introspect and evaluate the results of the chants.
Inside Long Tao’s soul space, nine distinct parts of the soul were radiantly visible. The heaven Pestle as a result of this was glowing ceaselessly.
..............................................................
Long Tao saw the resplendent Pestle nearby he concluded his previous conjecture that both the arts, “Omnipotent soul formula” and “Origin avatar art,” were somehow connected.
He wanted to experiment on the co-relation between these two. He decided to set-up a trial where he will see the effectiveness of the Omnipotent soul art on the soul fractions.
The most desired result was that he could grow these souls to their original state soon.
But he didn’t go deeper into his thoughts, because he knew that he first had to gain enough amount of strength and only then will he be able to uncover the truths regarding his identity and the arts present in his mind.
..............................................................
Long then sat back, he was finally completed the first of the three sections of the Origin Avatar art.
The next part was to materialize them into reality, creating the bodies for each of the soul fragments. He proceeded, going according to the process, gathering Qi ad using his blood as the foundation started creating the bodies for the souls.
Just the first creation took out every ounce of essence strength of his body. Then he proceeded to circulate the heavenly glutton art and devouring the 2nd level beasts’ corpses.
After some time, he gained his peak form, and the process continued.
He went through the process with the contemporary practice of either of those arts, which proved to be effective.
There were still some tests remaining, which could prove the regulation of efficiency while creating the avatar.
He hypothesized that the creation of these avatars might help fasten his practice in Blood-Tempering art and also increase his resistance to a blood-essence drain.
.............................................................
After lots of time passed in the realm, finally one day, one could see nine figures sitting together within the cave.
Long Tao proceeded towards the second segment and started infusing the nine souls formed into each of the bodies.
Another ten days passed, and finally, all the nine figures opened their eyes for the first time. He was encouraged on the success of formation. Now he evaluated each of his newly created bodies and found out that the current body that he possessed was that of a mortal, the initial stage when he started cultivation.
.................................................................
Long Tao’s nine bodies now had to re-cultivate and achieve his realm. His ten consciousness gathered. One thing to notice was that all ten of Long Tao’s souls were now in the initial mortal stage.
Although his original body, sustained the cultivation level, his Soul strength was resettled back into the initial stage.
Long Tao again began his training of foundation forging (12 forges of hell and blood tempering art) and soul cultivation (Heavenly Pestle) of the nine new avatars of his and restarted his cultivation.
..............................................................
His true self started cultivating the Heavenly pestle art again, and he wanted to bring all his bodies to 1st stage of the Qi child realm, as he was before he accepted the inheritance.
One has to notice that all his nine additional avatars already had a nine decked grinder in their soul worlds. It was an unprecedented occurrence for Long Tao and further deepened his contemplation that the two sets of manuals were somehow connected.
..............................................................
Another incredible part was the Soul Nourisher formulas, which again helped Long Tao in his training. It was something that was not part of his memories and was obtained from somewhere else.
But Long Tao’s original body soon realized that after stepping into the qi child realm, the efficiency and amount of soul Nourisher formula have highly increased.
It was as if the soul Nourisher formula increased in power with each increase in soul power. The night fell as the training continued in the fixed pathway.
