Chapter 638: Chapter 291: Soul Monarch, Seal of the Suppressed Soul_2
Jack Clark cracked a slight smile, “Indeed, an inheritance of a cultivation method called the Illusion Meditation Scripture, which involves soul cultivation.”
Concerning the matter of cultivation methods, Jack Clark did not conceal anything, for there was no need to.
The cultivation methods, texts, and rune-related inheritances they obtained from the ruins needed to be translated and copied for the Federation upon their return, just like those strong men of former times had done.
If it had not been for their collation and continuous refinement of these inheritances, the True Martial Cultivation System would not have been able to develop so rapidly and produce so many powerful individuals.
Although a copy would be disseminated, without the inheritance mark and the matching soul instrument, it would be very difficult for the later generations to learn the Illusion Meditation Scripture.
Add to that the basic threshold of soul cultivation at five times that of peers at the same stage, there would likely be few individuals below the Ninth Heavens in the entire Federation capable of practicing it, let alone mastering it.
“To think it’s a cultivation method involving the soul.” Even Jane Aiken couldn’t help revealing a look of surprise in her eyes, for such cultivation methods were exceedingly rare.
Jack Clark, now interested as he looked at Jane Aiken, whose aura of sharpness enveloped her, queried, “Student Aiken, what’s inside that little sword you obtained?”
Jane Aiken replied softly, “A Sword Array Inheritance.”
“The core is to gather the Power of Heaven and Earth with Sword Intent to form a Sword Array that seals all directions. The more Sword Intents one comprehends and the stronger the Sword Intent, the more formidable the Sword Array’s might becomes.”
“…It’s actually a Sword Array, and why do I feel like it fits you so well?” Jack Clark paused.
Jane Aiken appeared not at all surprised, “This is a place of an Ancient Civilization’s Inheritance. If it’s about inheritance, it’s natural that the right person obtains the right cultivation method.”
“It’s what’s called fate.”
Jack Clark nodded, “That’s true.”
His soul was innately strong, and he happened to receive the Illusion Meditation Scripture, which required such a strong innate soul for cultivation. Now that he thought about it, it did seem quite a coincidence.
As the conversation reached this point, Jack Clark couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, “Student Aiken, may I ask what are the characteristics of the four types of Sword Intent you have condensed?”
After some thought, Jane Aiken responded, “The four types of Sword Intent I have named are Life and Death Illusion, Space Tear, Wind Spirit Instant Slash, and Soul Slaying and Spirit Destruction.”
“They involve Illusion, Space, Wind Speed, and Spiritual Will, respectively.”
“Quite comprehensive. It seems that you, Student Aiken, had a goal when you condensed the Sword Intent. Coupled with the Sword Array you obtained this time, once the Four Great Sword Intentions reach grand accomplishment…”
Jack Clark himself paused as he spoke.
With grand accomplishment of Sword Intent, not only does the amplification of gathering Heavenly Energy reach fivefold, but it also turns the intangible into tangible, enabling one to utilize the properties of Sword Intent to their utmost limits.
Although the Four Great Sword Intentions all belong to the realm of thought, and the amplification of gathered Power of Heaven and Earth does not stack, even when they overlap, they can still reach more than tenfold.
Combined with the special attributes contained in the four types of Sword Intent, coupled with the Sword Array she obtained this time, her strength will become extremely formidable.”
Considering this, even Jack Clark couldn’t help but be impressed.
Deservedly the top genius of South Sky Martial Height, her talent became increasingly terrifying the further she progressed.
Moreover, it could be seen from her condensation of attribute Sword Intent that, even without the Sword Array inheritance, Jane Aiken’s cultivation direction would likely involve Sword Arrays like Jack’s.
In the face of Jack Clark’s amazement, Jane Aiken shook her head, “Reaching the grand accomplishment of Sword Intent is not that simple, as comprehending too many Sword Intents makes my breakthrough quite challenging.”
“Indeed, reaching grand accomplishment in the realm of thought is extremely difficult,” Jack Clark acknowledged with a nod of understanding.
It took him almost three months to condense Prison Blood War Intent, and it was only recently that he achieved minor accomplishment by using the Endless Blood River in Akunus to slay ‘millions’ of Blood Demons.
Now, he was unsure how long it would take for him to achieve grand accomplishment.
The girl opposite him sighed and nodded, “Yes, it’s indeed difficult. I estimate that for my Four Great Sword Intentions to reach grand accomplishment, it will take at least another month.”
…Suddenly, Jack Clark paused, finding himself not wanting to speak with this person anymore.
However, the girl didn’t notice Jack Clark’s expression and continued, “Once the Sword Intent reaches grand accomplishment, I need to create my own Secret Manual. I wonder how long it will take me to break through to the Seventh Layer.”
Given Jane Aiken’s talent, she naturally would not follow the path of others. In the late stage of the Sixth Heavenly Stage, she would choose to create her own Secret Manual, just like Jack Clark.
Jack Clark smiled and said, “With your strong comprehension talent, Student Aiken, there’s definitely no problem in creating your own Secret Manual. Perhaps it can be completed in a month or two.”
“Moreover, this Ruins Continent is full of inheritances. Perhaps with a bit of luck, you’ll directly come across a Sword Scripture Inheritance that leads straight to a monarch-level.”
“I hope so,” she said.
With that, both of them laughed.
Having exchanged pleasantries, it was time to handle serious matters. Jack Clark was very satisfied with the might of the Void Double Pupils’ attack from the day before, which had instantly killed the Dark Angel.
Therefore, he needed to slay more Void Creatures to continue stacking the passive enhancement of the Void Double Pupils.
Besides, he intended to pay more attention to the ruins’ buildings.
The strength of the Illusion Meditation Scripture made it somewhat of a surprise for him, indicating that the inheritances within contained many treasures.
No wonder Emma Louise told him not to worry about cultivation resources but to pay more attention to these objects imbued with the essence of antiquity. There might well be inheritances or insights of a past strong man among them.
Whoosh, whoosh! Jack Clark and Jane Aiken leaped down from the sky.
In midair, Jack Clark burst through the air, transforming into a streak of golden light that shot out, causing the shockwaves to pulverize all the vegetation in its path.
Compared to Jack Clark, at this moment Jane Aiken was enveloped in swirling Sword Intent, moving in complete silence at Subsonic Speed like a streak of azure light.
Truthfully, Jack Clark could also move silently at Supersonic Speed, but such a mode of travel lacked forcefulness.
Where there was no need for stealth or concealment, there was no need to use True Strength unnecessarily. After all, his “strength” was endless and could be used at will.
