Chapter 200 - Birthday

After Arthur ascended from vapour ruby origin essence to liquid ruby origin essence, he spent the next few hours consolidating his foundations, making sure that their wasn't any large amounts of impurities remaining in his origin essence sea, and that his origin essence sea itself wasn't damaged in any sort of way.

Origin essence seas, perhaps even before Origin Fae, were the most important existences to Fae Masters. If they were injured, damaged or even destroyed, it was extremely difficult to repair them.

The Twin Sea Fae was considered mythological to some Fae Masters, so perhaps only just below that were Fae that specialized in healing the origin essence sea. They were even more valuable than a first born son, or even a Immortal Fae to some degree.

Arthur continued his days within Parachenko Village, refining more green powder catalysts and training the nine Fae Masters he considered as his "property".

In the past few weeks alone, Henrik and Helga had broken through to liquid quartz origin essence, while the entirety of Iryna, Zlatanna, Parvan and Milena were all now hadron quartz origin essence Fae Masters.

So long as they were all Rank 2 Fae Masters by the time Arthur's plan came into action, everything would be perfectly fine. What was most important, as a group was their collective combat strengths.

Their Combined Control Skill was a step in the right direction, but Arthur assisted in the fine tuning of the "Verdant Corpse Garden".

They had one fake Combined Attribute Control Skill, but as a group, having just one wasn't enough. Theoretically speaking, if they were from large Clans or Sects, they should have at least one Combined Attribute Control Skill using one member in particular for the Core Fae.

That meant a total of nine Combined Control Skills. Even with Arthur's experience and knowledge, such a thing was pushing the boundaries of his comprehension and understanding.

If he was well versed in any of the Far they specialized; Blood, Earth, Corpse, Wind, Spider Transformation or even just Wood, he would be more than capable of helping out. Unfortunately, Arthur's comprehensions extended towards Shadow Laws and Bone Laws.

In this current life, Arthur had the Boundless Forest Yearning, which allowed him to use both Wood Attributed and Emotion Attributed Laws, in addition to two more.

He had.... ideas for the time being regarding what other Laws he should try and perceive, but for the time being he didn't even try and perceive any other Laws. Now that he was a Rank 2 Fae Master, in addition to being someone who possesses a Sovereign Boundary Physique, he was slightly qualified to perceive Laws.

Members of the Myriad Races could perceive Laws at Rank 2 as well, which also extended towards Sovereign Boundary Physiques as well.

It was possible, emphasis on the possible for Humans to perceive Laws at Rank 2, or even Rank 1, but in the entire Thirty Three Heavens, such Human Race geniuses could be counted on one hand.

The only one that Arthur knew of, was Twilight Obscurity Demonic Sovereign. The first Human Rank 9 Fae Master.

If Arthur could perceive the first level of Wood Laws, the strength of his Wood Attributed Fae would increase dramatically.

For the uninitiated, like Elder Vova and Elder Anatol, their comprehensions of Laws were pseudo-Rank 1 Wood Laws and pseudo-Rank 1 Fire Laws. It allowed them to exert the tiniest of influences on mortal plants and flames. The influence was so minute, it barely had any affect at all on mortals, let alone Fae Masters.

Once a Fae Master, or Fae Immortal reaches Rank 1 in their specific area of Laws, then can they influence the power of Fae through the usage of their own Laws.

A particular Law will gather within an origin essence sea. Over time, and as comprehension over the Law increases, the Law will form an "image". This image, is formless, shadowy, almost non-existent at times, and can only be detected by another Fae Master who has comprehended a Law.

Fae Masters that haven't can't see them at all.

The benefits of Laws don't just extend towards increasing the strength of Fae either. It allows Fae Masters, and Fae Immortals to gradually comprehend the World around them. Once their comprehension reaches a certain point, they can affect the world around them to some degree.

Create flames, cause plants to grow, make water spurt out of sand, turn dirt into gold.... doesn't matter. The only difference is, is that using Laws, one can only create something. Create water, wind, lava, emotions, desires, it doesn't particularly matter.

You could create death, or create life as well, but not in the way that one might think.

Laws cannot kill. It is possible to indirectly kill someone, say with flames, but it is impossible to set someone alight, or cause the flames to move according to ones wishes.

The "image" is intangible after all, sometimes existing, sometimes non-existent....

The main usage of this "Creation" is to lower the number of Fae that Fae Masters need to use. Being able to create an Attribute, lessens the need for the Fae Master to use Fae. Laws don't use origin essence either, but draw upon themselves in order to work.

Very complicated, but all that anyone that was a Fae Master needs to know is that the first level of Laws, also known as Rank 1, is commonly referred to as "Law Creation". There were other names and higher levels but reaching them as a Fae Master is well.... more difficult to say the least.

"If I had some special resources from a large Sect or Clan, I might be able to reach Wood Law Creation before I become a Rank 3 Fae Master. It's not impossible considering I possess the Boundless Forest Yearning....".

Arthur already possessed an "image" within his origin essence sea. The hard part was already done for him. All he needed to do, was bridge the gap between himself and the World around him. He didn't need to form a Law since that was already done.

This is why Sovereign Boundary Physiques are so powerful. Fae Masters could spend years, decades, even lifetimes trying to form an "image" within their origin essence seas. Those like Arthur, or Andrea rather, only needed to connect with the Heavens and the Earth in order to perceive those Laws.

"I could do it myself, but that would take time away from my cultivation. If I could just obtain some Wood Attributed Source Water, or even some Wood Attributed spirit cores I would be more than fine....".

Alas, such a thing within Winter Rain Mountain, was more than just "hard" to come by.

Arthur glanced at the nine Fae Masters in front of him, noticing that they had stopped sparring, and were staring at him with a strange look on their faces.

The seventeen year old narrowed his eyes, and looked at Arthur strangely for a second, before Iryna spoke up.

"Is it actually your birthday today Arthur?!"

The young man blinked a couple times, before raising an eyebrow and nodding slightly.

"Yeah.... I think it is actually".

Another year had passed, and the reincarnate had spent gone through two birthdays in the blink of an eye.

Somewhere on the other side of the Village, a once comatose young man opened his eyes, an expression of hatred flashing through them.
