"How…what just happened?" The Boar King was in a state of fluster upon seeing the Iron Empyrean Tentacle's Nature disappear from his Astral Chart. 'Is it about to revive?'
"Did something happen?" Yarsha Zahara asked in concern.
"I lost the Iron Empyrean Tentacle's power." The Boar King explained the details, "I was saving it to prevent the Mystic Empyrean Tentacle's birth. But somehow, it disappeared from my Astral Chart."
While the concerned duo were butting heads about the cause, Orakha was jubilant, 'It's a success!'
Daily Checkpoint was a power that had an effect for a day. Orakha could select a location and place a checkpoint there. After that, as long as he's killed within the next 24 hours, he would revive at the checkpoint.
And while reviving, he could pick any state of being he was at during the 24 hours to revive. Maybe if he consumed a valuable Elixir, he could kill himself while fleeing and revive in a state of being where he had just consumed the Elixir.
Even though the effects lasted only for 24 hours, it was a valuable ability. Moreover, once the duration ends, Orakha could activate it once again.
It was also this ability that Renduldu fused with Prana Solidification and Thought Condensation to derive his future sight ability upon becoming a Mystic Empyrean Tentacle.
Orakha approached the location behind the boulder and spoke to Raaha, "Chief, I obtained the Iron Empyrean Tentacle's power as my Secondary Nature."
"You did?" Raaha's eyes lit up before he roared in laughter, "That's great! It's worth the time spent here!"
He knew about Sumatra Continent's bias towards the Empyrean Tentacles. The fact that Orakha obtained the Iron Empyrean Tentacle's power meant the Boar King lost it.
This also meant that currently, the Mammoth Clan held all three powers of the Empyrean Tentacle Race.
'As long as we take caution, we can pass on the powers of the Empyrean Tentacle through the Mammoth Clan generation after generation.' Raaha thought. He didn't just blindly believe it to be the case.
Rather, the Mammoth Clan possessed records left behind by Renduldu detailing the workings of the Empyrean Tentacle race. Through it, Raaha could take measures to ensure the Mammoth Clan would possess the powers of all three Empyrean Tentacles.
And if the need arises, they could work on the birth of a Mystic Tentacle. The initiative lay with them from henceforth.
He patted Orakha on the shoulder and disintegrated him, "Continue whatever you're doing."
While Orakha continued to die and revive, Yennda was sent to the Ennoudu Plains to live on a diet of Spirit Moss alone. He was accompanied by a team of talented Mammoth Clansmen, all of whom were evaluated to have enough potential to become masters in the future.
The goal of them all was to gain the Secondary Nature of Spirit Moss Cultivator. Since Raaha knew the value of that Nature, he had no plans to leave it be. Hence, he had already set things in motion.
Besides that, a panel had been established to research the environmental conditions in various regions along their route that could nurture a Nature in them, planning to use them to strengthen the Mammoth Clan by a whole other level.
Yennda was simply made to accompany the team already en route to Ennoudu Plains. Besides, if the team were to encounter any mishaps, Blola could revive Yennda. They'll be able to figure out the cause through him then.
Yes, that was Yennda's purpose. Since he lost his value, Raaha planned to use Yennda as a tester, the first one to be sacrificed to figure out the danger level of any place.
In his 45th Revival, Orakha sat cross-legged on the ground as he felt the changes in his body. Slowly, his eyes shot open as he smiled. He had officially entered the Body Stage.
Tertiary Nature—Mystic Eater!
Primary Nature—Human Avatar!
Mystic Eater was a derivative of a Transcendent Eater, limited to devouring resources, specifically the minerals necessary to build a Human Avatar.
Mystic Eater wasn't just limited to devouring resources. Rather, the moment Orakha devours a mineral resource through it, he'll instantly obtain the cultivation technique necessary to build the mineral into his Human Avatar. And this change would be done to his Mystic Bone Art.
Yes, Orakha was taking a Free Human's cultivation route while remaining a Mammoth Clansman. That was achieved through his Primary Nature of Human Avatar.
While he continued to die and revive, the various essences were absorbed in his body. Eventually, they condensed in his Spirit Container to birth another him, basically a mutated Pranic Beast version of himself that mimicked a Free Human.
But for a Free Human, the Primary Nature they obtained was based on the mineral used to build their Human Avatar. Orakha's was a bit different.
Through Mystic Eater, Orakha could consume any resource of his desire and incorporate it into his Human Avatar. His Mystic Bone Art would be modified accordingly.
And since his Primary Nature was the Human Avatar, he could rebuild his Human Avatar as he pleased, in conjunction with his Mystic Eater.
Suppose he chances upon a valuable mineral in the future, but by then, he's already at the 4-Life Stage. Then through Mystic Eater, he would devour the mineral. Following that, Mystic Eater would modify his Mystic Bone Art accordingly to integrate the mineral into his Human Avatar.
Thereby, he would split the mineral into four parts and integrate them into his four Human Avatars respectively. Moreover, if he chances upon more of the mineral in the future, he could modify his Human Avatar further.
And if he feels the current version is weaker, he could remove some minerals, make the necessary modifications, and change his power. For other Free Humans, this wasn't possible.
It took them a lifetime just to create a cultivation technique and generations upon generations to refine and increase its efficiency, eventually raising its Grade.
They'll have to carefully build their Human Avatar according to the cultivation technique, keeping the mineral pure. If their cultivation technique doesn't allow other minerals, having a purity of less than 100 percent could cause their Human Avatar to collapse. It was risky.
Thanks to his Primary and Tertiary Natures, Orakha would become the first in Sumatra to build a compound Human Avatar, able to optimise the effect according to his wishes until the power he could unleash surpasses what the strongest of pure mineral Human Avatars could unleash.
Since he succeeded, Orakha approached Raaha and bowed in response, "Chief, I have hit the limit to the information I can obtain from the Transcendent Eater. If I try to gain any more, the Transcendent Eater's will would start growing."
"Record everything in this." Saying so, Raaha pointed at a massive Bone Slip.
Nodding in response, Orakha recorded everything he wished to convey to Raaha, withholding sensitive information that only Resha and the reincarnates ought to know.
Raaha accessed the information in the Bone Slip and frowned in response, "The Boar King's planning to create his Clansmen?"
"That's worrying."
