Lu Yao and Xue Mo are still discovering the 'Heart Core' they possess. Not only can it cultivate other energies than True Qi (Arch) energy, it can even cultivate Mana and the distinct energies of Xue Mo and Lu Yao, respectively being SSP energy and Chaos energy.
Although Xue Mo and Lu Yao aren't sure of that possibility, the alternative pathway system in their bodies that lets Mana and the other energy pass through it confirms it somehow.
One benefit Xue Mo and Lu Yao discovered is that the energies being absorbed into the 'Heart Core' can be able to merge. Other than that, the 'Heart Core' can also purify the energies. Even though the process is slow, in the long run, it is better than nothing. The Chaos energy and SSP energy of Lu Yao and Xue Mo are high tier energies with high purity, for them to still have a way to get even purer is such a boon to them.
Xue Mo watched as Lu Yao injected her pure and strong combined energy into the vial of magma beast remains. Although dead, the magma beasts were still just Mana that has given pseudo-life to magma. Meaning it is still only magma that has Mana saturate it and provide it with life. If the process didn't stop, it could last for thousands or millions of years.
Lu Yao wasn't trying to make another magma beast but wanted to see what will happen if she saturated the dead magma infused Mana with purer Mana. Although the Mana Lu Yao had imbued into the magma beast remains is a mixture of two energies, the process is still the same. So even if Lu Yao wasn't injecting just Mana into the vial, she was still recreating their process.
After an hour of imbuing Mana filled Chaos energy into the remains, the magma beast's remains started reacting. The previously red fiery liquid of fire property mana started gaining the grey color of Chaos energy in it.
Although this wasn't Lu Yao's aim, she didn't mind it and continued pouring energy into it. This process proceeded without a hitch since no one other than Xue Mo and Lu Yao was in that area.
It took Lu Yao another three hours to finish saturating the magma beast remains. Lu Yao and Xue Mo stared at the half red, half grey liquid in the vial and sensed that it was enough. If Lu Yao tried over saturating it, she might have turned it unstable, making it explode.
After she did that, Lu Yao thought of how to make the runes be seen as objects to be cultivated. Even though Lu Yao knows how to make the counteract rune and has some ideas on how to improve it or upgrade it, she wants to make sure she misses nothing before doing anything.
Reviewing all she knows about the counteract rune, Lu Yao organized her thoughts, 'The counteract rune is a rune that can negate and return any attack that it senses, done according to the command of the caster. The counteract rune can also be fused with other runes to enhance its power. The most it can negate is someone at the weak Magic Master level (101-125). Countless people have tried to recreate it and make it work for higher levels, but it was all in vain since no one succeeded.'
After making sure she has reviewed all the known information about the counteract rune that Lu Yao learned from the Academy, she started pondering about her theories on how to improve it.
'People have tried combining counteract runes with other counteract runes before, but the result was unstable, and it almost killed the rune inscribed who tried it. Some others tried unconventional approaches, such as trying to combine the counteract runes with other runes hoping to make some progress, but it was still in vain. After other tries, people stopped and gave up on trying to experiment with counteracting runes.' Lu Yao pondered before opening Infinite Darkness to start her plan.
Although Lu Yao didn't need to organize or review what she knows, as Infinite Darkness can directly extract the required information, and even improve on the theoretical knowledge, she still liked to do it as it was a habit that she picked up since she was young.
Lu Yao opened Infinite Darkness as usual, but instead of the typically lengthy list that appears every time, what Lu Yao saw was a quick version of what she needs.
=======================
Infinite Darkness
Sub Tab*
Skills:
Runes: [Counteract rune level 1 (Ordinary)] {Level up}
========================
Lu Yao was again surprised, but she snapped out of her stunned state fast after all she started getting used to this happening.
Infinite Darkness was programmed to learn and improve, and that is what it has been doing since the start, it improves and learns all the time, although it has been a little more than a year the improvement is showing and both Lu Yao and Xue Mo are satisfied with it.
Lu Yao commanded Infinite Darkness to level up the counteract rune to the highest Level the SSP points she has can go.
Xue Mo was on the side, and he watched everything Lu Yao was doing from the beginning with a worried expression. He knows that Lu Yao will experiment using the Magma beasts beast's remains.
The reason they came here was because Lu Yao suggested doing that. After arriving, they directly fought the Magma beast that has now been put into a vial. If Lu Yao only experimented using the Magma beast as it is, Xue Mo would have been less worried. Still, Lu Yao went as fast as to use the combination energy skill that they discovered they can do and imbued that energy into the Magma beast's remains.
If the only part that she has done was her using the Magma beast as an experimental material, Xue Mo wouldn't have minded as Lu Yao can handle some explosions from it. Still, since Lu Yao had poured her energy into it, the Magma beast's remains were no longer just some Magma beast's remains. It became something powerful enough that an explosion from it can equal a power that is stronger than an ordinary Celestial Divine stage Cultivator.
=======================
Infinite Darkness
Sub Tab*
Skills:
Runes: [Counteract rune level 6 (can negate high-level attacks that reach the Magic Grandmaster level (301-400), return the attack unleashed with double its power, can be inscribed in anything] {Level up}
=======================
Staring at the screen in front of her, Lu Yao almost lost her composure and cried out happily; Her gamble worked out. Lu Yao had tried something that she had thought about for a very long time, ever since she learned runes in her previous Academy.
She tried to inscribe runes on ANYTHING, and she thought that maybe when Infinite Darkness upgrades the counteractive rune, the theory of it will be applied with it.
Luckily Lu Yao won the gamble and could get what she wanted to inscribe in anything.
The reason Lu Yao is happy is that many people have tried to inscribe in fresh materials, even other objects such as liquid, gas, or also tried engraving on living beings. None of these inscribers could succeed, and they always failed. Lu Yao had just created what they deemed impossible.
Xue Mo stared at the happy Lu Yao and also smiled lightly. Although he was tired from losing all that SSP energy, Xue Mo already got used to it by now, which is why he isn't unconscious or as exhausted as before.
Xue Mo would ask Lu Yo to continue her experiment later since they have just fought a beast, and she has been working nonstop without taking a rest after killing it.
