Arthur let out a deep breath, letting his long, dark green coloured strands of hair float aimlessly within the Origin Essence Liquid Pond. His physique had been fully submerged in the shallow waters, only letting his head stick up out of the top as he adjusted his breathing pattern.
Unlike before he possessed the Boundless Forest Yearning, Arthur's origin essence sea wasn't just larger in size, but also in purity and concentration.
He had been at the zero quartz origin essence stage for a little while, waiting for the right time to take the Sovereign Boundary Physique, in order to increase both his potential and future strength.
Sovereign Boundary Physiques were rare within the Thirty Three Heavens, and every power within them, regardless of whether they were Human powers or not, valued their strengths greatly.
Even though only Humans could possess them, members of the Myriad Races did not doubt their strength or potential. They were the ones who created them after all, most of them believed they were only taking back what was theirs.
Arthur felt his origin essence boil, freeze and constantly rotate, condensing to a degree far greater than anything he had experienced before in this lifetime.
The whole notion of ascending between Ranks as a Fae Master was to condense origin essence into an even higher stage of purity. The whole process of vapour, liquid, solid, hadron and zero was to allow the Fae Master to purify and condense their origin essence to a point where it could safely be transformed to a higher state.
In this instance, the transformation between quartz origin essence and ruby origin essence.
Not only was the colour different, but the entire quality of the origin essence far exceeded the previous stage by an enormous amount.
The Fae Masters that Arthur killed, whom belonged to the Marina Clan, and Randolf, whom was also a Rank 2 Fae Master, their origin essence was nowhere near as pure as Arthurs. Perhaps at the same stage, not even as pure as Niklos when he was younger.
Using origin essence stones in order to speed up cultivation was an option, although the impurities within origin essence stones were enough to cause problems in ones foundations.
Unless one was from a huge Clan, or was lucky enough to find a origin essence type Fae that dealt in purification, their future attainments would be harmed.
Arthur didn't stop there, and continued to cycle and condense his origin essence further and further, to the point where its originally crystalline colour could no longer be seen. Despite its size and shape, the amount of origin essence that Arthur had condensed into a single dot was the total amount of origin essence within his body.
His origin essence seas had been completely dried up, and appeared as though they were cracking from the lack of any sort of moisture.
Arthur smiled slightly before moving something else within his body towards the dried up origin essence seas.
The massive formless image of an Affection Tree Fae flickered within Arthur's origin essence sea, producing a miniscule amount of Law power from within. Only Arthur's Mind Origin Essence Sea was affected, while the others remained as dry as a barren landscape.
The tiny, glowing drop of green coloured Law power flickered within his origin essence sea, flowing down to the bottom before intensifying. If one looked closely, green coloured tendrils extended themselves outwards towards the rest of Arthur's origin essence sea.
They appeared similar to roots, but strangely bright green and pink in colour.
Arthur felt a small trail of blood leak out from his mouth before wiping it away and smiling.
"Nice", he muttered.
Turning his attention back towards the tiny ruby coloured dot of origin essence, Arthur let out an enormous grunt as he compressed the dot even further, pushing out a single tiny shard of impurities out before being unable to contain the power any further.
The Origin Essence Liquid Pond exploded as a formless green coloured power was unleashed within the Source Water, eventually subsiding as Arthur gasped for air.
His naked form laid down comfortably on the floor of the Origin Essence Liquid Pond, as a flash of ruby could be seen within Arthur's eyes.
His origin essence sea was now a veritable sea of ruby coloured fog. Despite not being as translucent as the vapour quartz origin essence sea, the amount of power that flowed through Arthur's body was more than ten times the original amount.
His three origin essence seas seemed slightly shaky, although a few hours worth of cultivation would allow Arthur to solidify his foundations.
His green coloured hair extended outwards, as Arthur summoned a Fae from within his origin essence sea.
It was one of two Fae that Arthur kept with him during his time inside the Pond itself.
Arthur's eyes gazed up at the Affection Tree Fae, noting that it was slightly larger than before.
Other than its size though, it hadn't changed in the slightest.
"It isn't ready to evolve yet.... although, since it has grown it means that that time is slowly approaching. Even with the new Restriction Fae, I can't be sure whether or not it will evolve normally.....".
Arthur was a little worried about the evolution of the Affection Tree Fae, knowing that it was too valuable of a Fae to evolve into something bad. Even if the Boundless Forest Yearnings innate ability was even better, he would rather have two useable Fae, rather than just one good and one bad.
Even if he had things planned in the future, they wouldn't matter if he couldn't factor in for the heavenly laws.
Since there were none, the chances of him creating exactly what he wants was higher, since he could use more varied Fae materials in order to do so. However, how that affected people around him was just as important.
Randolf's Crimson Graze Fae and Alina possessing another origin essence sea enlargement Fae was a sign of this.
Arthur sat up slightly, stretching his back and neck as his gaze flickered around him.
"If things all go according to plan, then I should be able to work with some of the new Fae Masters for this generation. The houses should be getting built soon and the spirit plants plan will be put into action in a large enough scale for me to control.....".
The Affection Tree Fae was an extremely valuable Fae since it could affect everything around Arthur.
Closing his eyes Arthur focused on the Affection Tree Fae image that had taken root within his Mind Origin Essence Sea. This wasn't so important for the time being, but "this" was similar to the "shadow" and "bone" existences within Arthur before he obtained the Boundless Forest Yearning.
It was a Law foundation that had yet to be nurtured.
The Thirty Three Sovereign Boundary Physiques made it easier for Humans to comprehend Laws. At least, those Laws that correspond to the Sovereign Boundary Physique.
In the near future, Arthur would be able to naturally comprehend Wood Laws and Emotions Laws through the Law foundation within his Mind Origin Essence Sea.
Shaking his head and taking in a deep breath, Arthur returned his focus back towards his origin essence seas.
It was time to cultivate again.
