While the Divine Elental Soul underwent its qualitative transformation, Wei Wuyin cleaned himself up, replaced his pants, and pondered about the events that had just transpired. With his Celestial Eyes, he had observed it all from beginning to the end and realized what the Mortal Star Formation Tribulation truly was, and why his Natal Souls were capable of overcoming them with ease.
When the Divine Elental Soul entered the illusory star, that was actually the condensed form of energies and so profound laws of cultivation related specifically to his Divine Elental Soul, it had directly absorbed and refined all of it. This elicited an extraordinarily peculiar response from it, and therefore him, but it enlightened it regarding the intricacies of elental energies which was similarly sent to him.
Not only did he obtain the quintessential key to unlocking Elental Origin Intent, but he even obtained the designs to construct the Elental Heart Intent.
Lifting his hand up, palm facing the sky, his elental qi was conjured. It floated as a small orb of undefined power, but with a single thought, it beca solidified with tallic properties and exuded tal energies. The orb of Elental tal Qi was quite normal, and even contained a silver sheen to it. He plunged his thoughts into his sea of consciousness as he brought forth the Elental Origin Intent from his mind into action.
He simply exerted a hint of will: "tal to liquid." This was a basic thought, and normally, his Elental tal Qi would simply change to Elental Water Qi, but as he watched it liquify into a silver liquid form of tal Qi, still exuding tal energies, his eyes narrowed.
"It still has the inherent abilities of tal...but has beco a liquid?" With another thought, the liquid tal qi beca like a flowing stream that circled around him several tis like water until it returned to his palm, solidifying once more until it beca the solidified tallic orb.
He was stuck in thought for several minutes. This might seem useless to the basic-minded individual, but this ability was fundantally magical! It defied the basic limits of certain elental qi. If he was to execute a trapping art with tal Qi in the form of water, then encapsulate and solidify an individual, it would be a thousand tis harder to escape than water qi due to its inherent durability and properties.
Retrieving his qi, he created a spark which was ignited into an animated fla that flickered beautifully between his palms. He breathed out slightly and frosty cold air, visible to himself, was expelled. This fla wasn’t a normal fla, but an icy-blue fla with ice qualities.
Instead of emitting heat, it emitted a frighteningly cold chill, consuming heat.
He tested more, such as wind that froze, burned, or shocked. This wasn’t a simple application of rging elents, this was the inherent change of elental property, fusing it with another one entirely. While he realized that there were so limitations, like how advanced elents were more difficult to gain the qualities of other advanced elents, the possibilities were essentially boundless.
After all this, he finally cald down and focused. Since the Mortal Star Formation Tribulation was not an inherently destructive tribulation, and his Natal Souls had the unique ability of directly bypassing its difficulties, it was ti to have his other Natal Souls experience this.
He interacted with the Divine Saber Natal Soul and asked if it was ready, and while it responded with just ’Tch’, he felt its excited emotions. With a nod, he initiated the second tribulation!
Once more, the speck within the bright sky mysteriously manifested within the sky, and all of his senses seed to unnaturally fixate on its existence. While it wasn’t noticeable by any ans, and so insignificant that it could be largely ignored, he couldn’t help but notice it.
His Divine Saber Natal Soul started to condense, gathering its lifeti of cultivation whilst simultaneously receiving energies from its fellow brethren. The only difference was that the transforming Divine Elental Soul hadn’t given it any type of support. It seed to enter a similar state as an insect pupa within a chrysalis.
This speck within the sky continued to enlarge before it once more overtook his senses. While he knew that he, the cultivator facing this tribulation, was the only one who could visually observe this illusory phenona, it still felt surreal to the extre.
This Mortal Star was wildly different than the one before. It was a star with a translucent surface and the shadow of an ever-moving saber constantly twisted and turned, slicing and gliding within. It seed this saber was its core and stabilized its existence. However, unlike before, he didn’t feel the elental energies of the world gather. Instead, it was converting the worldly essence and mana to establish saber qualities within.
As he observed the surface, he realized that there were a near infinite amount of saber light as thin as gossars as they crisscrossed, collided, and ford all sorts of miraculous arcs and shapes. His heart raced as he witnessed this with his Celestial Eyes.
Almost imdiately, his eyes beca dazed and glossy. He was plunged into a mysteriously profound state of enlightennt. Within his sea of consciousness was tracings of each line, arc, and movent of that saber. In monts, he felt different. The puzzle pieces that were scattered were gathered to him as natural as thought itself.
Raising his right index finger, the essence of the world gathered with rely his will towards its tip. It ford a swirling mass of dense astral essence and then with a swipe of his finger, that astral essence transford into highly concentrated saber essence. It contained an innate sharpness and splitting oppressive force, seeking to slice through the world and bring all things beneath its sharp edge to a clean end.
Woo!
His eyes soon regained their normalcy and he realized that the strike he had done was based purely on Intent. His eyes beca slightly dignified as he observed within his heart the various changes within his mind. Saber Intent was exceptionally potent, capable of being used to refine essence into saber essence, but that essence was refined by his ridians and beca his own.
Never had he experienced sothing like this; this experience of controlling the world’s essence and externally converting it into sothing else. It was as if the world’s essence was subjugated to his will, and Intent had beco his ridians. Was this the potentiality of Intent?
Heart of the World, World of the Saber Intent!
"Hm!" Wei Wuyin smirked slightly as he regarded the Mortal Star above that seed to possess boundless might. With a wave of his hand, he felt a profound connection to it that seed to eclipse all things currently present, and this illusory manifestation that size seed to be larger than his visual perception could gauge was shaken. It trembled ceaselessly as its inherent saber energies started to twist and turn, its size began to rapidly shrink as if under the orders of its god.
"So I can!" He exclaid as he slowly clenched his hands into a tight fist and the Mortal Star shrunk abruptly until it beca the size of a child’s marble. With a soft wrenching motion of his hand, this marble flashed before him and his Celestial Eyes could see it clearly. Its energies were influenced by his Intent, under his complete and utter control.
"I see. I see! The Mortal Star Formation Tribulation’s purpose is to help cultivators. It’s not only to facilitate the growth of an Astral Soul, but to help develop and deepen one’s understanding of Intent and energies." Considering his Divine Elental Soul had grasped the principles of Elental Origin Intent, then this made sense.
"If that’s the case, Intent has to be incredibly vital for future cultivation. I wonder when it’ll play a part." His eyebrows furrowed as he recalled the Nine Phases of the Astral Core Realm. None of these phases required Intent to advance, causing him to be slightly confused as to when it’ll matter.
"The realm after?" Upon further thought, it seed like the purpose was to assimilate what one could and slowly develop their Intent. Fortunately, he obtained one Intent via absorption and the other by his own talents.
However, he was still sowhat confused. From what he could recall, amongst the five million Astral Core Cultivators, very, very, very, very few developed Intent. While he felt he was talented in regards to comprehension, he wasn’t so arrogant to believe his talent would exceed the hundreds of trillions of cultivators that have existed for the last millennia.
"Could it be the Zenith Mortal State? Could the 4th Mortal State, the minimum, have incomplete information about Intent? This and them fighting it instead of accepting it would...it’ll make sense." As he thought more and more about it, he ca to this realization. Those of a lesser Mortal State ford less helpful Mortal Stars, severely hindering them from comprehending Intent. In his heart, he felt sowhat lancholic, reminded of the phrase: Cultivation is difficult.
Inhaling and exhaling out all of his emotions, he realized that Intent was definitely vital to his and everyone’s future cultivation path. His plan to focus on recruiting those with Intent for his faction was definitely the correct choice.
"Tch!" - Divine Saber Natal Soul.
He heard a harsh sound before his Divine Saber Natal Soul externalized and directly devoured the marble. In a huff, it returned back to his dantian. It was obviously in a bad mood as its opportunity to venture into that star was robbed from it.
Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you see it, when it returned to his dantian, Wei Wuyin’s eyes widened. Spontaneously, he felt a wave of euphoric and orgasmic pleasure that sent his entire body into overdrive.
He viciously stifled his moan, but couldn’t halt his body’s involuntary reaction as his legs shook and his lips twitched.
"..."
Another perfectly clean pair of pants...ruined.
