"So you’re saying a Regalia of the Heavens is?" Yan Zaizen questioned, his mind somewhat feeling dizzy. Before him was Pinaka in her soul form, her eyes filled with slight hints of impatience and annoyance. Earlier, Yan Zaizen had asked her a question regarding the Immortal Herculean Method: "What’s a Regalia of the Heavens?"
Despite exining several times, Yan Zaizen found it hard toprehend due to the contradiction of the name. However, Pinaka only snorted softly and still proceeded to break down her exnation. "The Regalia of the Heavens is an object with its own concept. It is a part of the heavens, but also separate. They are exceptionally rare and aremonly used or created by those who’ve reached the peak of their conceptualws."
"..." Yan Zaizen still found this hard to understand. A part of but separate? It bewildered him to the point his brain hurt. However, Pinaka had already realized that Yan Zaizen mental intelligence was somewhat low. It was due to this that hisprehension of arts was considered the lowest possible but also why hisprehension and development speed of thews was exceptionally fast.
For those who try toprehend the heavens, typically their thoughts make constant incorrect conclusions leading to ack of advancement, but to those who don’t have suchplicated thoughts, they find it much easier to connect with and progress in theirws. To put it simply, those who had a simple outlook had heightened understanding of the world’s simplicity despite itsplexity. It was like a child looking at a riddle and figuring out the answer in a second while an adult would contemte it over and over yet still might get it wrong.
This didn’t mean Yan Zaizen was a stupid person, simply that he wasn’t educated enough to think inplex manners simr to a child. With proper teaching and time, it’s highly likely he could rival Tao and even exceed him in intelligence due to this mentality and dao.
"Think of it as a physical object that was originally a part of the Heavens but separated from it after. Therefore, it is no longer connected to the heavens. It’s why they’re exceptionally rare and incredibly difficult to obtain. If one reaches the peak of a concept, they can create these Regalia’s easily, but if not, they can only dream of obtaining one." Pinaka further exined.
Yan Zaizen finally seemed to have gotten something, but then he felt incredibly frustrated afterward. The Immortal Herculean Method required a Regalia of the Heavens to progress to the 2nd Level: Grand Herculean Physique. One has to refine it to determine the characteristics and attribute of their physique; therefore, no two herculean physiques were the same because all conceptualws have slight differences.
"You obtained the sub-dimensional ethereal ring from another, right?" Pinaka asked, her voice filled with curiosity.
"Hm? I don’t know. It just appeared on my finger after a meteor hit me." Yan Zaizenmented, but thinking about it, it was unlikely that the meteor was a meteor.
After a brief moment of silence, Pinaka responded, "You obtained that method from a book within the ring, so the previous owner should’ve had intentions to cultivate in it. If my guess is correct, that piece of ck wood with the white me should be a Regalia of the Heavens." She pointed out, entering the Meteor Ring’s space and arriving next to the inky ck wood with the small white me atop. One could tell from her words that she wasn’tpletely sure.
Yan Zaizen followed her inside, arriving next to the inky ck wood, and his eyes lit up in realization. The firstw heprehended was the Unyielding me of Life and it originated from the white me atop the ck wood.
"Not only that, thispass seems to be a trans-spatial divinepass." She pointed towards the six-arrowedpass with a missing double-sided arrow pointing east to west. It gave off faint traces of silver light yet still seemed ordinary in existence.
"Trans-spatial divinepass?"
"Mhm. It’s an object that is exceedingly rare in the myriad realms, but it’s also unreliable. If used, you’ll be sent to any ce beneath the heavens. You could end up dead or worse. If your luck isn’t exceptionally good, you’ll die in some random remote corner alone." Looking at thepass, she couldn’t help but wonder why this thing was here and how it was obtained.
From her knowledge, this object shouldn’t exist beneath this particr heaven. Even in the previous Era, this shouldn’t exist here. This item wasn’t just ouwed by the heavens but more so, it was too heaven-defying. This could be the only object that could travel to any corner of the heavens without restriction, even if the Lord of this Heaven blocked off an area personally, thispass could enter or exit from it.
She didn’t bother exining its background, as it wasn’t truly important to know nor was shepletely sure.
Picking up thepass, Yan Zaizen inspected it a little and felt that it contained a conceptualw that his Spatial Form of Infinite Stability was happy to see. The moment he touched it with his soul form, he could feel his spatial avatar twitch subtly in excitement as if it wanted to hold it dearly.
"Strange..." However, Yan Zaizen quickly put it down. If it could send someone to any ce and they could die, he didn’t want to use it. His luck had never been that good, and he had no intentions to gamble with his life.
"So, if I refine this inky ck wood, I could progress to the Grand Herculean Physique?" He inquired, picking up the inky ck wood and feeling the sensation of death and faint traces of unyielding life. Before, he was scared to even get close, but now, he felt incredibly familiar with it.
"I’m not sure, but if the Immortal Herculean Method you practice truly requires you to refine a Regalia, it must be one exceptional method. If you can refine it, I wonder what will happen." Shemented, her mind shing with interest. A Regalia could only be created by the heavens naturally or by those who’ve reached the peak ofws. The people who could reach the peak of their conceptualw would typically exceed or rival the heavens in power and status.
How could it be so easy to obtain?
The fact there was one here surprised her, but also made her curious as to who the previous owner of this ring was. From Yan Zaizen’s words, the resources were more than enough to build an extraordinary physique, a qi cultivation that exceeds the True Essence Realm, and recover or progress the soul.
Unfortunately, all of those resources were siphoned by the ck hole during Yan Zaizen’s soul transformation. Pinaka’s curiosity held no end. This person was the most likely one who’ve entered the Heavenly Genesis Realm or exceeded it! If so, this person was an absolute monster in the cultivation world and couldn’t be someone who wasn’t well-known in the myriad realms.
One must know, even the Xiantu Emperor who ruled over the Xiantu Realm, who possessed a Dao, was only at the initial-stages of the Heavenly Genesis Realm.
Yan Zaizen didn’t know about Pinaka’s turbulent thoughts. He looked at the inky ck wood with anticipation dominating his gaze. The method to develop a Grand Herculean Physique required one to refine a Regalia of the Heavens and finalizing one’s physique traits. If one could refine a regalia based off thunder, they would receive a physique based around thunder, simr to fire, space, sword, or blood.
Wouldn’t this mean his physique would be based off life and death? Would his physique contain specific characteristics of the Siphoning Shadow of Death and Unyielding me of Life? If so, how extraordinary would that be?!
He was excited beyond belief.
However, he was frustrated further after reading the requirements to progress the Grand Herculean Physique after reaching it. It stated that he needed something called Heavenly Law Liquid. When he asked Pinaka, she said it was essentially essence liquid to the highest form possible. There were no low-grade, mid-grade, or high-grade Heavenly Law Liquid, but simply a consistent quality per drop.
It seems the heavens produces it and it was typically found in areas where heavenly tribtions take ce. The stronger the heavenly tribtion, the greater the chance of its creation, but it was still fairly unlikely. It contains traces of exceptionally potent heavenly essence and is used by Heavenly Genesis Realm experts. He truly felt frustrated after hearing what Heavenly Genesis Realm was - the realm above True Essence and Crimson Star Realm.
He truly realized that his current cultivation was just the tip of the iceberg, there was still so much further to go!
Regardless, he’ll have to deal with that when the time came, for now, it was time to refine this inky ck wood and white me!
