460 Mystic Sumatra Art
When she entered the Body Stage and fused the first piece of Sumatra Gold in her Human Avatar, Yarsha Zahara made a calculation based on the volume of her Human Avatar.
600 Sumatra Gold!
That was the amount necessary for her to reach the peak of the Body Stage. It was unknown if she would ever manage to obtain that much Sumatra Gold.
After all, it was unknown where the Mystic Empyrean Tentacles had buried their stash of Sumatra Gold. Currently, the Boar King was only able to find one stash, and that was Renduldu's stash.
He was the Mystic Grade Pranic Beast that lived before the Boar King's era. So, his stash was the easiest to find for him as he didn't have to dig too deep.
The Boar King was there when Renduldu left for the Transcendent World. Therefore, by backtracking the regions visited by Renduldu and by referencing records kept by powerful colonies of Gold Grade Pranic Beasts, the Boar King managed to find it.
But he had no such luck finding the stashes of Mystic Tentacles preceding Renduldu. They lived tens of thousands of years ago. Even if they had placed their stash in some cave, it would have been buried deep under ground now thanks to the accumulation of dust, activities of Pranic Beasts, changing terrain due to environmental fluctuation across the eras, etc.
"Mother, I can feel that you've grown stronger." Barla peered out from behind a rocky pill and commented.
Currently, there existed two layers of defence in Varahan Mansion. First was the twenty-metre-tall wall—erected by the Rockatrice's Nature of Rocky Intimidation—around the Varahan Mansion's estate.
Second was the thirty-metre-wall erected around the house itself. Her children hid in the safety of the house while Yarsha Zahara stood outside and faced their attackers.
The inner wall was littered with Comets that she had been procuring, creating a robust defence. This way, no one could tress pass into the house without being bombarded by dozens of Comets.
"How are everyone?" Yarsha Zahara stared at her eldest daughter and asked.
"Yaha and Hara are asleep." Barla said and glared at the attackers with a mildly cold expression, "Baga and Braga wanted to fight, but I scolded them and put them in charge of Yaha and Hara."
"Good, and what about Brana." Yarsha Zahara asked.
"He's spewing nonsense." Barla said, expressing a headache, "He's saying he'll be beaten up by you for infiltrating your study."
"He said that?" Yarsha Zahara stared in shock, feeling as if a boulder had slammed into her heart, "Is he fine?"
"I'll take care of him, mom." Barla said and retreated, "Don't worry and just fight. If you're tired, tell me."
"I can fight too."
"This child…" Yarsha Zahara sighed and couldn't help but worry about Brana, 'So, that's how Loot infiltrated my study. He used my son's body to avoid alerting anyone.'
'For how long was he inside Brana?' Yarsha Zahara gritted her teeth, 'Dammit, I was too careless. If Wittral hadn't requested to meet me, I would have never realised something like this was happening.'
She wanted to rush towards Brana and check up on him. But she couldn't leave her spot, for that would allow the attackers to close in and make her Comets target them.
She didn't want to waste them. Most of all, she had no intention of killing anyone. As long as she only defended herself, the Brimgan Empire wouldn't use their everything to destroy her.
They'll be patient and build their strength until they were sure to raid to Boar King. She'll manage to buy time until then. 'It's not something that could be accomplished in a day or two. They prepare for months just to raid the surrounding regions that they had raided countless times in the past. To face husband, whose abilities they don't know about will take forever.'
'Since they know that husband can equip himself with multiple Natures, the variables at play are just too much. It'll take them years to make preparations for all possibilities and train accordingly.' She finished analysing and let out a sigh, 'They won't try to kill me until then.'
"By then," She grinned and stared at her mansion, 'My children will be strong enough to fight.'
Her six children were born with the Boar King's genes. They were part of his Ravaged Tribe. Hence, they were constantly being influenced by the Boar King.
This was why one of his bodies were buried under Varahan Mansion. From there, the Boar King was combusting himself and emitting influence generated by the combination of his three Natures of Voracious Nature, Astral Chart, and Cultivator.
As this influence seeps into his children, they'll continue to adapt to it and grow accordingly. As they do, their Empyrean Boar genetics will continue to mature until they eventually attain the equivalent of the Fragment Disease of the Mammoth Clan and the Buoyant Disease of the Cooter Clan.
Primary Nature—Empyrean Boar Transformation!
This was the Boar King's goal. Once his body is fully combusted, the influence on his Ravaged Tribe—Wean Tribe—would accumulate enough for his children to enter the Body Stage and obtain this Primary Nature.
With this, they'd be able to transform into Empyrean Boars, similar to how Mammoth Clansmen transform into different Pranic Beasts. But this transformation would only give them the body of an Empyrean Boar and not its abilities.
They won't have Voracious Nature, but that was part of plan.
The Primary Nature of Empyrean Boar Transformation would continue to influence their bodies and keep accumulating the genetics of an Empyrean Boar in them. Since they are the Boar King's children and could transform into an Empyrean Boar, as time passes, they'll attain a critical accumulation point, following which they would become Clansmen.
Originally, the Boar King had the guarantee in transforming his Wean Tribe into the Wean Clan within three generations. But that was when he planned to mate with regular Free Human women.
Yarsha Zahara was built different. And her children inherited her genetic traits too. Barla was born with 80 Prana. Her siblings were more or less similar to her and were all able to mould Prana just like Yarsha Zahara.
Prana obeyed them at a level inferior only to Yarsha Zahara. But unlike her, they were also blessed with the growth speed of an Empyrean Boar.
As a result, even though they didn't use a cultivation technique, just through natural accumulation by food consumption, Barla reached 100 Prana by the age of four. Currently, only Hara and Yaha had to reach the peak of the Spirit Stage. And it was only because they were two years old.
Mystic Sumatra Art!
Derived from the data of Mystic Bone Art and Mystic Mist Art, the cultivation technique of Mystic Sumatra Art was bloodline related.
When activated, it caused Prana and blood in the cultivator's body to interact with each other and imprint the characteristics of themselves on the other party. This strengthened the body, mind, and soul aspect of their Prana, allowing it to take action on its own without their conscious input.
Similarly, their blood gained characteristics of Prana and allowed them to control the flow of their blood, and in extension, their body, able to mould it as they please. It was why Barla proposed to take Yarsha Zahara's place and fight for a while.
Eight-year-old she might be, but possessing the traits of two of the most talented and ridiculous monsters, and equipped with an incomplete Mystic Grade cultivation technique, Barla was able to hold her ground for a while.
Mystic Sumatra Art gave her the necessary confidence to do so.
