Since he already obtained the Primary and Secondary Natures, Inala's body was gradually changing even without his initiative.
'I see why I selected this build in the first place.' Inala thought in realisation as Prana continued to funnel into him through the orb. As the Prana circulated through his bloodstream, it was absorbed by the Spirit Container first and then was funnelled into the body, causing a second and third set of internal organs to form.
Inala's body didn't grow in size and remained the same. The individual size of his internal organs steadily shrunk to make up space for two more sets of the same. It felt weird, he felt out of breath, inhaling smaller packets of air as compared to before.
But slowly, that feeling vanished. The lungs and heart were part of the body's involuntary muscles. From birth until death, they worked nonstop. Their rate of work was different when the body was awake versus a state of rest.
That applied here too, but was slightly changed under the effect of Cyclic Recovery. The first pair of lungs were on fire, as if he was sprinting. The second set functioned normally while the third worked as if he was asleep.
As the first set worked extra hard, the overall intake of air became the same as usual. Moreover, with its expansion and contraction being faster, blood was circulated at a somewhat faster rate through the body.
Of course, there were three sets of lungs, all mixing different amounts of air with the blood. Therefore, Inala experienced difficulties in breathing until a set of regulators formed in his body that harmonised the workings of the three sets of organs until his body could function as a whole without issues.
Inala's situation was pretty strange, as the first Spirit Container had fallen to the Spirit Stage while the second and third were at the Body Stage. He was technically in the Spirit Stage and the Body Stage.
The difference indeed placed immense strain on his three hearts as their balance was sent out of whack. However, the Celestial Boar's Prana funnelling into him kept everything perfectly functional.
At the Body Stage, Inala consumed Nectar and activated Mystic Sumatra Art. As a Mammoth Clansman, using another cultivation technique caused him to lose Prana permanently. However, the effects of Mystic Sumatra Art were taking root properly.
Mystic Sumatra Art caused the Prana and blood of one's body to interact with each other and imprint their characteristics on the other party. Eventually, the user would be able to control their blood, similar to how they control Prana.
Over time, their genetics would also be strengthened, which was the biggest advantage. Mystic Sumatra Art was created for the Wean Clan, but was actually better suited for Pranic Beasts.
After transforming into an Empyrean Boar could the Wean Clansmen use the cultivation technique better. But even Brangara hardly used Mystic Sumatra Art other than for basic purposes like Information Slips.
It was because they could wield many Natures freely, so their need for a cultivation technique wasn't much beyond its basic functions. As a result, the cultivation technique wasn't developed much beyond what Yarsha Zahara had created and was finished by Brangara by tanking a Bolt of Transcendence.
The cultivation technique was complete but hadn't been developed in the slightest. It only had a few skills at most, a laughable matter for a Mystic Grade cultivation technique.
Mystic Bone Art had tens of thousands of Skills and hundreds of Prime Skills. Mystic Mist Art was pretty close in number too.
Inala had three reasons to focus on Mystic Sumatra Art. First of all, there was no Transcendent to wield authority over it, since the creator-Yarsha Zahara-was dead, and no Wean Clansman had become a Transcendent yet.
Second was the cultivation technique's property of increasing the potency of one's genetics. It was most effective on a Pranic Beast and when used for a long time, they could cleanse themselves of all genetic impurities, making them possess the perfect genetic makeup of their respective race.
Since it conflicted with Mystic Bone Art, the more Inala used it, the stronger it made the Brully's genes in his body. He drank Nectar to stabilise the process and integrate both the genes better. The stability was only for the initial run though.
After that, using Mystic Sumatra Art, Inala would make his Pranic Beast transformation into a Brully his original form and wholly become a Pranic Beast. That was his goal.
Third was the Body aspect. Mystic Sumatra Art's characteristics work on the body and stimulate it the most. Through it, Inala could shift his Primary Nature to conform to the Body Aspect.
Based on his rudimentary understanding from the Brimgan Founder's data, his research, and information gained from Torq, Body Aspect Nature was extremely rigid and couldn't be controlled. It would simply exist in a physical state within the body.
Cyclic Recovery was exactly that. However, it had one flaw, which made it fall within the Mind Aspect and not the Body Aspect.
The cycles were passive in terms of effect, but could be actively controlled and varied through psychokinesis. Theoretically, a Brully never had to sleep. However, thanks to Cyclic Recovery being part of Mind Aspect, Inala could just go to sleep now and forcefully shut all three cycles into a state of rest.
It shouldn't be controllable. 'In truth, if I were to run now, my body would secrete adrenaline to help with the task. It's a natural function of the body. But through Adrenaline Rush, I can control the process too. Technically, once Adrenaline Rush and Cyclic Frequency are combined, they'd result in a Body Aspect Nature.'
His three cycles would function nonstop, just like involuntary muscles. And similar to how his heart rate increases when he sprints and decreases when he sleeps, the body's cycles would follow suit. Whenever necessary, adrenaline would be secreted into the system as how the body perceives the situation.
Therefore, by combining the two, the result would be the Brully's actual Body Aspect Primary Nature. Inala planned to take advantage of the transformation properties of the Mammoth Clan build and Nectar and fuse them into one while he becomes a Pranic Beast with the help of Mystic Sumatra Art.
Of course, this was a very complex undertaking that couldn't be solved through this alone. The genetics of the Mammoth Clan and Brully were intermixed in him. And if he weren't careful in strengthening one and ejecting the other, his build would collapse.
That's where his preparations came into effect. Inala watched as a Biome Bomb enveloped him and used Perfect Biome Domination to get a complete understanding of his state. And then, through a Tangible Piezo Slip, it informed him of his state.
That allowed Inala to understand which cultivation technique he had to use more and when. There were a lot of trial and errors involved, but thanks to the Celestial Boar's Prana and Nectar, Inala had a lot of leeway for errors.
It allowed him to not worry about making a mistake and make as many corrections as required before slowly approaching his desired build.
It took months before any differences started to show on his body. All along, Grehha simply watched with a mildly sombre expression, feeling it was a pity that even during his second chance, Inala wanted to escape his status as a Mammoth Clansman.
'I was happy when you intended to retain your Fragment Disease, but I see now that it was only to make it easier for you to shatter your Spirit Container. Your brittle body makes it extremely easy for all sorts of changes to happen within your body, including the formation of multiple sets of organs and new body parts.' Grehha let out a sigh and closed his eyes, focusing on his activities through Pet.
The Spirit Weapon in the shape of a hammer existed to unleash the power of Spirit Smith on Inala's Spirit Containers. They gradually shaped the way for the fusion of the two Natures and pushed the Spirit Containers to influence the body in the direction of creating a Body Aspect
Nature.
Inala lost track of time and focused all his attention on his build, checking multiple times a day through the Biome Bomb on whether or not things were working according to plan. Six years passed in such a fashion before the changes tipped past the pivotal point and cemented a new set of power.
"He succeeded," Having come to terms with it long ago, Grehha only intended to see what Inala did. And now, he could wholeheartedly exclaim in joy, "Sumatra's first Body Aspect Nature!"
Seated at the farther corner from Grehha was a humanoid giant that reached a height of ten metres, having a mild resemblance to Inala's facial features. Its skin and physique were still changing, but the overall structure had been completed as its presence stabilised.
Beginner Gold Grade Pranic Beast-Brully!
With a Prana capacity of 4188 and a lifespan of 1100 years, Inala had reverted to the original form of the creature. However, there was one difference now, a major difference.
Primary Nature-Cyclic Stability!
The three sets of internal organs in his body would function like involuntary muscles without
his conscious input. If the first set was strained, it would automatically enter a state of rest while the second would pick up the slack. The third will operate at levels between the first and
second.
When a body engages in a strenuous activity, rest is necessary. The same concept would be applied to the Brully too. Of course, one set of organs would enter the strenuous state the moment Inala runs or engages in a fight, similar to how all bodies perform.
The two Natures of a Brully had been fused to result in this Body Aspect Primary Nature. In terms of effectiveness, Cyclic Stability was individually inferior to Cyclic Recovery and Adrenaline Rush. Its only advantage was that it was a Body Aspect Nature.
Since Inala had nothing else to do, he intended to experiment and figure out the builds of
other Continents. The Race of Brully was perfect for this because it already had its complete build mapped out thanks to Kanka's life choices.
Body Aspect Primary Nature resulted in Cyclic Stability. Mind Aspect Secondary Nature was
related to the Major Treasure of Weapon, since a Brully could reach the same level of power through the Billakin forming their Spirit Containers.
Finally, the Soul Aspect ought to be related to Armoury. Inala couldn't understand how they
could be related to his Secondary and Tertiary Natures, nor how he would figure out the means to obtain them.
Kanka had a guess and took the plunge. The Brimgan Founder researched and spent endless thousands of years thinking about the same. Now, it was Inala's task to connect the dots and figure out the power system.
His end goal wasn't to reach the State of Harmony. It was easier to attain it through the Mind
Aspect alone. And now that he had a Body Aspect Nature, Inala could state with assurance that a Mind Path State of Harmony was stronger.
Therefore, he wanted to reach the point that couldn't be stably reached with Sumatra's power
system-State of Unity!
'I have the Major Treasure of Weapon for reference. Using it, I can steadily figure out the
perfect build to unleash a state of Unity.' Thinking as such, Inala got up and waved at Grehha, "It's time I left, Grehha."
