"Hmm, this needs a few more days....".
Arthur went silent before turning around and leaping over a large, constantly flowing stream. Several large rocks lay scattered about over the surface of the stream allowing Arthur to nimbly cross over without even getting a drop of water of his clothes.
He moved towards a group of mangrove trees which had started to sprout due to the increased essence in the heavens and the earth, smiling slightly as he reached into the water, pulling out a crimson coloured beetle.
"This Body Sea Fae is complete. All I have to do now is get rid of all the other "seeds" of the other Body Sea Fae....".
Arthur glanced around a couple times before sending a few moonslices into the water. Several crimson coloured beetles exploded under the power of Arthur's moonslice fae, becoming nothing but faint wisps of essence from the heavens and the earth.
Once these fae returned to their origins, they would nourish the surrounding areas.
In the coming days, and the following weeks, the flora and fauna residing here would experience a drastic increase in growth.
Not many Fae Masters would willingly destroy Fae, seeing as though they could usually sell them if they didn't them, but those demonic Fae Masters would sometimes destroy the Fae they have stolen or captured, if they couldn't be used for whatever reason.
They would normally only do this near places where they want to form fae, in order to increase the chances of other fae forming. But some large Clans and Sects often destroyed large amounts of Rank 1, and sometimes Rank 2 Fae in order to focus more and more essence from the heavens and the earth in this single location.
Of course, a small Clan like the Kovacs Clan wouldn't even dream of doing such a thing.
Arthur sat down on top of a group of mangrove trees, holding the Body Fae in his hands while refining it.
Body Sea Fae was one of the core components of his plan.
Body Sea Fae resembled a large crimson coloured beetle, and only possessed the ability to absorb origin essence from the Body Origin Essence Sea.
It could only hold the maximum of the Fae Master, so considering that Arthur's Body origin essence sea contained 79% of the maximum 100%, this Body Sea Fae could only hold 79% as well.
Arthur gazed up glancing in two different directions.
"The Mind Sea Fae and the Soul Sea Fae will be ready within the next few days. While the other one's will be complete in the coming weeks. Once the beast tide comes, the Parachenko Village will enter a state of panic, focusing on protecting themselves, rather than the new immigrants that seek shelter".
"They would have to focus on fighting off the spirit beasts as well as these new immigrants who won't have access to shelter or protection. No-one would notice two Rank 1 Fae Masters vanish during such a time, not when they think they both are already hidden and under protection....".
Arthur needed to prepare his own set of techniques.
He had only scratched the surface during his small "teachings" during the martial arts lessons, giving those in his generation the notion of using "martial arts to compliment fae".
This was some of the most basic of comprehensions that Fae Masters can draw from the
Fae Masters use their own abilities to maximise the abilities of Fae, but learning martial arts or killing moves which could potentially amplify a Fae's ability.
The next step was to use "fae to compliment fae".
This could only be done by Fae Masters who have touched upon the world of Laws, and can "see" the connection between different Fae, and make usage of these connections in order to strength one, or weaken one to make use of a plethora of different abilities.
This ritual that Arthur was preparing for, was one that needed "fae to compliment fae".
In order to take a Sovereign Boundary Physique, special means must be used. Since Andrea would at most, be Rank 2 during that time, Arthur wouldn't have to worry about too many external problems occurring during this time.
Arthur let out a small breath, pulling the Body Sea Fae back into his Body origin essence sea.
Despite his origin essence sea being relatively low due to the refinement, under the influence of the bloodseeker leaf fae, Arthur's origin essence quickly regenerated, even though the Body Sea Fae was absorbing it rapidly.
Arthur didn't have any sort of Physique, Bloodline or Laws influencing his current self, so the Body Sea Fae happily drank up his origin essence sea without changing, or being influenced in any sort of way.
Once it got closer to the actual date, he would need to completely destroy his "shadow" and "bone", allowing him to take in the Boundless Forest Yearning.
It would be the same as destroying his foundations, but since he was replacing it with something better, it would be considered as an improvement.
Arthur sat up and quickly moved throughout the waterlogged forest, leaping through trees and over wide streams before coming to another location.
This one, unlike all the previous water related environments Arthur had been too before, was a large rocky cliff, near the rear of Parachenko Village.
It was also relatively close to where the Sleipnir visits every year, but still at least an hour by a mortals walk.
Arthur grabbed a few vines hanging off the side of the cliff before climbing down, not at all worried by the height or the strong winds.
Arthur saw a number of large butterflies gathered around a specific area and grabbed one before immediately destroying the rest of them.
"Forest Reverse Fae.....".
This was one of, if not the most important Fae that Arthur needed during this ritual.
When trying to take one of the Thirty Three Sovereign Boundary Physiques, different Fae were needed depending on the strength and abilities of the Fae Master who possessed the Physique.
Since Arthur was dealing with the Boundless Forest Yearning Sovereign Boundary Physique, he needed the Forest Reverse Fae in addition to the Emotion Reverse Fae.
While their abilities weren't normally used to take Sovereign Boundary Physiques, both of these Fae belonged to the Inverse Attribute and were used to "reverse" something within nature.
The Forest Reverse Fae could reverse the growth of a piece of flora, making it age in reverse so that it "grow" in reverse. This Fae also hadn't been discovered yet, and would be used to reverse those existences whose age is near the end, in an attempt to extend their lifespan.
However, Inverse Attribute Fae do not reverse something to its original state.
They do allow something to return to a younger version of itself, however, their lifespan is still expended the same.
If a Fae Immortal with a thousand years of life, had only ten years remaining and used the Human Reverse Fae, he would suddenly appear much younger. His appearance would "grow" in reverse, but he would still grow nonetheless.
For Emotion Fae, it would make one experience the emotions they had when they were younger. It was normally used to test dao hearts and one's firmness on the path of cultivation, so that they could rid themselves of heart demons and cleanse themselves of mental impurities.
Not to mention, Inverse Attributed Fae were usually one time use Fae. They couldn't be used again once they were used.
Arthur nodded for a moment before turning back to the top of the cliff, refining this fae as well before sitting down and letting his origin essence recover.
His eyes slowly closed as he felt the faint breeze ruffle his hair.
Things.... were finally starting to progress.
