BXBX NOVEL Chapter 75 Harbinger Of Calamity
"Then do you mean by telling me all of this?" Hilda couldn't help but question as she knew it would be pointless just to explain all this without any reason.
Although it was her first time hearing about unique physiques, she wasn't a fool to believe that Cyrus was telling her just because it was important to cultivation. She also remembered the way Cyrus approached her. It was not a coincidence.
Cyrus impassively answered, "Do you know, according to ancient scriptures, there are 99,999,999 ranks of Mortal Unique Physiques, 9,999,999 Ascension Unique Physiques, 999,999 Deity Unique Physiques, 99,999 Immortal Unique Physiques, 9,999 Supreme Unique Physiques, 999 Divine Unique Physiques, 99 Divine Supreme Unique Physiques, and 9 Origin Supreme Unique Physiques.
"However, in the traceable history of this universe, these numbers were never verified, especially the mortal rank physiques since they are simply too many variants. Or the physiques of Supreme ranks or above because they are too rare."
Hilda was completely speechless when Cyrus revealed this fact and didn't know how to react at all.
Cyrus's lips curled up slightly at this moment as he said, "But somehow, one person kept track of these physiques and found all of them and recorded them in an ancient book called Cosmic Wonders of Universal Physiques. Even the fabled Origin Supreme Unique Physique. He even found a way to identify all these physiques with pinpoint accuracy.
"And I happened to be one of a handful of people alive who know about cosmic wonders of universal physiques and that method. And you guessed correctly, you have a Unique Physique, and it is related to the element of destruction.
"If you have encountered anyone else, they might not even know what kind of physique it was, and you would've died while taking all of your bloodlines with you when you turn over 25!"
Hilda felt a chill in her spine when she heard this and blurted, "Why? What's wrong with me?" She wasn't calm anymore as she remembered that the temple priest had also warned her about some calamity, but his warning was never about her dying with her entire bloodline.
That's why Cyrus's revelation brought fear to her, no doubt.
"Didn't I say if you have encountered someone else, in that case, you would've died with everyone with the same bloodline as yours? But you encountered me. I guess we both got lucky." Cyrus couldn't help but smile while looking at Hilda's anxious eyes as he revealed, "You not only have Deity Unique Physique, but your Physique is ranked 1st among 999,999 Deity Physiques called Evil Destruction Physique, and it's at Pristine level no less!"
However, Hilda didn't show any happiness as she was still worried about the first thing Cyrus revealed. Having such physiques brought no joy if it could kill her together with her family. It was more of a calamity.
Cyrus also sensed her anxiety and said, "Don't worry, the Evil Destruction Physique might pose a threat to even deity lineage and those who are ignorant to this physique traits. But to me, it's nothing that can't be solved.
"The Evil Destruction Physique can cause bright calamity to not only the owner and its bloodline once the owner lives for twenty-five years. But it would only happen in case the Owner remained a mortal."
Hilda's eyes narrowed, and she quickly asked, "So, if I was dead before the age of twenty-five, then this calamity can be resolved?"
Cyrus looked into her determined eyes as he knew what she was thinking, "I must say, you have a really kind heart for someone who enjoys destruction. But you don't have to go to such extremes. As long as you break the mortal shackle before the age of 25, you can turn this calamity into your fortune. Your current bone age is 19 years, so you have six years to alleviate your problem by breaking the mortal realm."
"You want me to become a God?" Hilda asked with a hint of derision as for her above mortal mean Godhood.
Cyrus couldn't help but snickered, "Little girl, Godhood is not something just anyone can achieve. What I'm implying is you need to cultivate above the nine realms of the cultivation system that Rita told you about."
Hilda then finally understands her mistake, "Please forgive me for jumping the gun so soon. But is it possible to achieve it?" She asked with a somewhat forlorn tone.
Rita had already explained to her the cultivation realms, and she knew even as long as someone managed to break into a seventh or eighth realm, they would be invincible in this world.
So, Hilda was not sure if she could do it in six years.
Cyrus smilingly explained, "As long as you are willing, nothing is impossible, especially when you have deity-grade talent in the destruction element."
"Then please teach me. I'm willing to do anything and forever be in debt to you!" Hilda's tone contains a hint of begging, as Cyrus was her only way.
Even if it was all but bullshit, she still didn't want to take any chances, especially when it came to the life of her parents and uncle.
"Why are you sounding so distant? Didn't I say you are my Dao companion, and you will be forever by my side, no matter what! There's no need to treat me like a stranger. From the moment I bought you here, I was never planning on holding back on you." Cyrus gently stated.
Hilda, for the first time, felt warmth in her heart when she heard Cyrus's words and didn't know how to feel. It was the first time someone was treating her so sincerely, especially a man who wanted to have an intimate relationship with her.
If he wanted, he could've easily told her to give up her body and exploit her, but it seemed she was overthinking things, and Cyrus was not just a womanizer who forced himself on any woman.
"T-thank you." Hilda gently said as her voice sounded no longer cold.
Cyrus brushed it off with a chuckle as he said, "Alright, I'm going to teach you an Immortal Grade Cultivation Technique related to destruction element. It will last you quite a while before I find you a higher-grade technique. Still, this technique is enough for you to awaken your deity physique 100%!"
A hint of nostalgia flashed past Cyrus's eyes as he said, "The name of this technique is Harbinger of Calamity, and this technique was created by a peak immortal realm cultivator named Calamity Immortal. I'll teach you the verses of the mortal realm manual and the breathing techniques. Listen carefully and remember them by heart…"
Cyrus solemnly started to teach her the Harbinger of Calamity Cultivation Technique while Hilda listened attentively without missing a word.
Although Cyrus told her the origin of this technique, he didn't tell her how he acquired it. If she knew the Calamity Immortal was once a great adversary of Cyrus, and he killed the guy and acquired this technique from his belongings, no one would know what she thought.
Nevertheless, Cyrus also respected and admired this person because he almost killed him and brought him to his knees. That's why he decided to pass this legacy to Hilda since only she could bring it to justice.
If he wanted, he could've taught her the Devil's Spouse technique which was superior to the Harbinger of Calamity technique. It would've wasted Hilda's talent and her Evil Destruction Physique.
Furthermore, Cyrus was fully confident that Hilda won't betray him after learning about just how dangerous her physique was and that only he could help her. Besides, he was confident of conquering her heart before any of this came to pass.
With her high level of IQ, she quickly remembered the manual word by word in an hour, and only then Cyrus started to teach her breathing techniques. This took another two hours.
"Alright, now, try to gather Qi by using the Qi gathering technique of Harbinger of Calamity. Since you were able to use the destruction Qi without any help, it shouldn't be too difficult for you now." Cyrus nodded with a smile as he was quite confident in her.
On the other hand, Hilda was feeling somewhat apprehensive since she was afraid to get failed. Still, she followed Cyrus's instruction, and just as she remembered, she started to recite the Harbinger of Calamity's Qi gathering chants and controlling her breathing.
Just when less than five minutes, Hilda felt a strange tyrannical energy seeping into her body pours. Still, for some strange reason, she felt warmth and familiarity from this tyrannical energy.
Suddenly, realization dawned upon her, as she remembered that it was the same energy she always felt whenever she used her magic, and she felt it even more clearly when Cyrus used it this evening.
It was the Qi of Destruction, and her absorption speed kept getting faster as she circulated the Harbinger of Calamity technique, and she was feeling like she was drunk.
Cyrus looked at Hilda, who almost instantly fell into a cultivation state, and the Qi gathering around her became denser with each passing second.
His lips curled, 'With this speed. She should be at the peak of the Qi gathering realm by morning. I should not disturb her anymore and harvest LXP in the meanwhile.'
With a glint of lust, he left toward Rita!
