From a distance a beam of light could be seen racing over the clouds , this figured was Elder Cane she had been traveling for a few hours towards the largest know landmass in this world yet largest than the exiting continent.
The First inhabitants name it the endless forest simply for it vast ness the first mortals who had brave and push forward just the sake of finding something new and interesting in the world back then.
These same mortal where those who sold information to cartographer's who drew the first maps of this massive landscape known as the 10 thousand meter fall cartographer not for it width but for in comparable height, unmatched of any natural land scape, back then with the height reaching t=so far explores though it was a new world beyond the clouds
They weren't wrong at tall, as they did, for exploring and returning with news for a new world.
Soon after the Age of Cultivation began.
From them on the true history of this place has been hidden, and those who could dig up its history are though with either power or status or both.
Elder Cane was one such person, this world many call Earth had its name given by those who could view it as a whole would see this world had a light and dark side and each ….. Through observation the Ancient Saint and Sages dubbed it Gemini.
This land many cultivators even to this day dream of crossing , but as the world evolved to hold cultivators the dangers face to reach so far are incomprehensible.
Many die getting too this location and many die other there never to return , the blood are nutriments for spiritual plants and herbs to grow , without sufficient luck and fate going too far was a in some case's a death sentence.
Her current situation as proof.
She had entered the inner area in her young days as a mean to search for a way to breakthrough, she did though but it came at a cost, one she spent the last 1500 years regretting.
Elder Cane eyes with had long focused reminiscing her past cleared up and such though diapered.
During her though she lock in on the general area of the some lingering aura remains how compared to a few hour ago it was too fain for her senses.
Within a few minutes Elder Cane in pure white long-sleeved robes, arrived at a massive landscape the water fall.
It's color a deep blue and silver with a width stretching for kilometers.
It was the source of all the spiritual water on this planet, current no one controls it as everyone kept each other at bay, but have coming to agreement to split the profits.
The 3 Major Continent All have Claims to it, as rights are decided every 100 years.
Elder Cain took one look at the magnificent The Water fall and stated her search.
The sight was beyond anything any mortal has seen, it was anything but magnificent.
Elder Cain however ignored the sight and started looking around.
Now all the had to do it find signs of said phenomenon ,since the plants and creatures here were the closest , at long would be affected she only need to search to find should with highest and biggest cluster of improvement .
Then search in-depth from there.
Soon an hour past and dozens of kilometers search the water-fall she found the signs she was looking for and narrowed down here area from the few hundred kilometer fall.
To a few dozen.
Soon her narrowed as she found something, staring at the water screen in font with an intently as if her eyes could see beyond the fall.
The aura for the previous felt from Hundreds of thousands of kilometers away currently had all but disappeared.
Here instinct lead here to believe that she was getting close
Spreading out soul sense, the woman eyes widen a bit for most many would have missed it
Her soul sense had all diminished from 200 down to measly 2km current state and she still couldn't maintain it for long either.
With a few seconds she was found what she was looking for, an entrance.
Located a kilometer left behind the water screen.
A moment later she disappeared, passing though the screen and arriving on the other side, her clothes were pristine as they were before.
Soon she fades out of sight, the next instance she arrives at the cave entrance, seen that the area around the cave have not been disturbed even for a long time , the few pant and insects showed signs of improvements some even had slight mutation .
With a flick she removed then and created her path though the weeds and moss growing.
Still continued floating, she moves in the cave, spreading the soul sense a view of the vast expanse of cave systems, she continued the main path not turning off.
Soon after a few kilometers she saw the sight of an aftermath with her range.
This time, she faded and appeared a few kilometers, looking the rocks and other debris, and black …. Scales, of a draconic or serpent like creature.
The aura of spiritual energy was faint, but she sensed it, other would miss it but not her.
With her soul sense should could pick up the residue energy signature, everything an anything in this world that can absorbed or bathed in spiritual energy long enough will leave some tiny aspect that makes their energy different from others even if they should use the same element, as such each person has their own sentient or not.
Fading in and out a few time's she arrived at the location of the battle the remnant of fire spiritual energy could be detected by those who looked hard enough or had specific tool to assist the burn mark however made it obvious.
Looking said burn marks, scattered scales and rocks, she could conclude the battle was short but intense.
She could directly feel the fire water and wind elements in the area , beckoning with her had she memorized the aura signature , she found no body of those in combat meaning that one lost , she was unsure who the victor was moving one.
Elder Cane then found something shocking, further along about a kilometer from where she was, a weapon mark a few dozen meters in length and few centimeter thick.
The mark giving off extremely deep profoundness but its energy signature was comparable to the strength of a middle stage foundation user however it seem a bit sort however considering it was from a blade user the intent must have amplified it energy.
Remerging the scene of battle this should be then energy from the creatures scales was comparable to a peak stage rank 3 beast killing with spiritual energy no matter it attributes, blade intent or not.
'Interesting'
Executing her movement technique elder cane faded and in again she arrived at the long gash in the mounted rock a few meters deep.
She detected now sword or blade intent this was much more over bearing and does not match any sword technique or blade technique she is aware or have encountered.
Hence she could perceive any information of its origin, other than it was very new, very new.
Deciding to observe closer elder cane focused her soul sense of the blade gash.
Focusing on it soon she found herself in daze,
'Blood'
She detected a fain intent from it far from even being in its embryo form meaning the techniques used was that profound.
Still ,its pull on her was faint this much considering her strong her soul was , even in its shattered and deplorable state , what may be faint for her would be an intense compulsion for anyone else.
Elder Cane still had the scale in her hand from before, throwing it into the gash to test it.
Its gave off a compelling feeling want her to come close , let's see what happened , this scale was organic material even though its hardness was comparable to some ores of the same rank the creature that produce it , it should still suffice for the test.
Throwing it at the mark, as soon as it hits it was quickly absorbed, her eyes gleamed a bit, the aura out putted increased so did the faint pull the felt on her soul.
However her eyes soon widen in saucers and mouth opened a bit.
Disbelief she be seen on her face.
Not because the aura strengthen or the pulling feeling on her soul increased, there were many such thing in this world of cultivation that could do the same.
What surprising she detected that in this blade contained and ethereal aspects of Law's, the next moment however the aura faded again no matter how she observed the gash it would not reveal its secrets.
But she was sure she detected the faint presence of law specifically , blood and slaughter , she had condensed law fragments of those same elements in her younger days , even if this was someone else's law comprehension , recognizing would not be difficult.
However seeing this it gave rise to hope she had been searching for but with her declining strength she could not.
Levitating she sat on meditative position.
Concentrated for a few moments.
She then removes 14 circular disk-shaped objects a few inches in dimeter and about an inch thick, each completed in inscription lines and patterns, when all the inscription caved on each were activated the combined inscriptions marking created a miniature array.
Pushing her energy from her core then 14 disks each of different color and each radiated a different aura, the Rune at the centered of the inscription was the symbol of the various elements the 14 disks hummed as she injected soul and spiritual energy.
These were her greatest accumulation in her life , condensed from her life experience and her few bout of enlightenment of some nonlogical insights which countless treasured resources she had gather or encountered by luck which them allowed her to condense worldly law fragments then lead to her comprehension of Heavens law.
Even though pushing herself to the extreme cultivation like this depleted her power faster she was still able to use some of her strength from when she was at her peak, along wither vitality that should have been injured was patched up ensuring her long life.
This was a backup mechanism for utilizing her dwindling power, but for everyone she cultivated her soul which had fractured the injury she had received needed rare herbs and extremely high alchemy skill to produce, both of which were not possible in her time and it was still the same almost two thousand years later.
Over the years because over exhaustion and her physical body cracks and fracture with her soul gate and mental place along with serving of her spiritual roots on her body over the hundreds of years .
However if her thoughts were true this would change everything for her
This this crimson gash in font is the result of an extremely profound technique, was a unique Nonlogical incite, how even the insight was very stronger, even combine that with whatever grade martial technique.
Such remnants Energies in recent times were just no possible many rank 7 don't even have the nological insight for the realm there are in much less a young cultivators having them .
Just seem to be on the side of being not possible, at least based on her current knowledge on the situation. Perhaps that phenomena earlier was the grand sign that a change is come, the early of decile was finial coming to an end.
Furthermore, if she is not wrong this gash contained nonlogical insights of death, a unique view as well.
This was a great remnant energy, if used properly it had the characteristics of aiding someone's comprehension of nonlogical meaning if there are of similar attributes or the opposite of it.
Such things these days were not just rare but, pretty much nonexistent whither beast or humans it makes no difference as long as one had spirit or was sentient it was valuable.
Especially the aspect of death.
While treasure for the predominant elements were still being born today the time between births were extremely long and would only benefit rank 4 maybe rank 5 cultivation the most.
The last time an Erath rank Spiritual Fire was born was over 100 thousand years ago!
This was the ideal resource for alchemist to make certain pills as fire with cultivators' energy, could not melt or purify some herbs or beast remains the fire was just not hot enough.
With this remnant energy she would be able to recover to her former peak and beyond.
Her current comprehension of law were too powerful to wield and her soul can't take the pressure needed to from another she could cultivate with while not impossible she did have the resources needed to do so hence she had not make much improvement in the aspect of comprehension of new laws .
If she has the time the other aspect contained within this energy, she could try to obtain insights.
After all, while the death energy contain within the blade energy was o their elements compacted in there to make this blade energy so terrifying its it could kill and devours rank 5 beasts.
She was thankful to whoever left the slash, deliberate or not she would repay them in the future.
A short time passed, she then focused her soul energy to cut around the cave wall and remove the black energy as a while still whole.
Soon it was removed from the cave wall , she immediate executed her technique , all she had to do was seal the energy then using it as a foundation slowing absorbing he current law fragments , along with using them to heal and recover her cultivation
Activating her fractured core , along though it grade had recovered majority still had cracks running along it surface , if anyone else was in her position they would live out their day as mortals trying not to draw too much energy to exaggerate the damage further .
After feeling the connection, the energy supply was just a bit lacking remembering she had the body of the crow she quickly removed its core.
Purify the remnant will she then used the core as an energy source to stabilize the output reducing pressure off her core..
After infusion of enough spiritual energy, she started manipulating he soul energy,
"14 Extremities seal – Internal Banishment."
The law plated rotated slowly whilst getting in to a formation the law disk that represented space as at its center.
A crack slowly spread in the world current spatial structure, serving as both a supporting and anchor soon a void like split appeared, silently.
Soft humming could be heard from the elemental law disk constantly exchanging positions.
Soon their presence was affecting the natural elements in the surrounding.
The elements of various natures was condensing rapidly the five main one's along with wood and metal.
The more exotic nature such as life and death ,blood and time would need to be gather in sepfics locations under certain conditions, here such such forces we weak and seemly none existing , even though they exist.
Still she already had the law fragment hence they can be used a substitute even though it would be partially completed.
Still was no concern for her , the beast catalyst was right in front of her, its potential to grow was similar to the Omi law Infinity .
Though blood slaughter was far inferior, she would just have to comprehend that aspect at a later date.
As for the life she would have to take current she had plenty of still living enamines, her sect has plenty too, not forgetting, inhuman cultivators. She had more than enough sustenance until 'they 'awaken.
Soon her earth and metal law fragment condensed chains surrounding the blade energy etched in to the earthen block.
Physical chains seal the area around the blade energy, the ruffling sound of the chains could be herd though the cave thick black chains, dark colored inscription manifesting around the areas where the chains entered, further spreading out.
Then ethereal chains Yin soul and death short for their respective disk, she was going to pull into the void she created while easing the remnant will replacing with her own.
Not long the energy was suppressed after the energy artifact began absorbed the energy pulling from the crevice, a spatial gash opens the area where the physical seals were slowing revolving, humming each seal give of their perspective aura based on the elements.
Aura radiant at times strength and weakening, it was like it was trying to find the right combination to a 128-character pass.
An hour past , then 2.
While the artifacts power was limited by her cultivation their process continued, however the process was terrible slow.
She had time
This was just how strong the technique was.
While begin about to produce combat power above the cultivation was based on factors of both participants.
Currently, the strongest combat manuals are not higher than Star grade combat techniques and weapon techniques and almost all are incomplete.
Even then they were inaccessible to almost everyone.
While techniques are created every now and the, their ranks are not high and are mostly suited for their creator or person with set affinities, the rare the affinities the harder to acquire.
The technique is at least Heavenly Star grade to be this difficult to absorbed, this this was also partially due to her current cultivation and readiness, this result was expected.
However, she didn't mind.
She was at the final step closer to her goal.
Suddenly her detecting the barrier she set on a whim was triggered the entrance of the cave.
Looking the artifact absorbing she estimates she would need another sometime to be completed.
The individuals number 3 persons who passed though the barrier was earlier rank 6 and early rank 4.
Perhaps was just curious and decided to look.
They were approaching quickly no about sense the energy floating of her own energy and her treasure.
She made a decision after a quick contemplation to lock the area around perhaps she could get rid of them without a fight, while she would make an effort, with only a year life span she would not want to over draw herself.
Extremities seal – Dimension lock
A small barrier a few meters in diameter surrounded the mark then brimming energy signatures of her artifact and the blade energy disappeared as if it wasn't there.
Turning around she went to meet her guest.
