Liang sat cross-legged in meditation, his eyes closed, as he began to organize his thoughts, browsing through the techniques that he inherited from his bloodline.
The first technique, known as Infernal Void Flame Art, is a complex and multifaceted skill that encompasses five distinct stages, each one building upon the previous stage in a progressive manner.
These stages allow practitioners to harness and manipulate the power of the Infernal Void Flames, a mystical and potent form of fire.
In the initial stage, known as Heat Control, practitioners learn to wield precise control over the temperature of the Infernal Void Flames. This mastery ensures that the wielder can utilize the flames without risking harm to their own body. By carefully managing the intensity and heat of the flames, practitioners can harness their destructive potential without suffering detrimental effects.
Moving on to the second stage, Flame Manifestation, practitioners develop the ability to shape the Infernal Void Flames into various forms, both offensive and defensive in nature. This grants them the power to project the flames as powerful projectiles, form defensive barriers, or even fashion weapons imbued with the fiery essence.
Mastery of this stage allows practitioners to unleash devastating attacks and fortify their defenses with remarkable versatility.
Upon reaching the third stage, Flame Fusion, practitioners delve into the realm of elemental manipulation. They learn to merge different types of flames with the Infernal Void Flames, thereby enhancing and augmenting their inherent properties.
Advancing further, the fourth stage, Flame Conversion, unlocks the ability to transform the Infernal Void Flames into alternative forms of energy. This enables practitioners to utilize the flames in ways beyond mere fire manipulation. By converting the flames into different types of energy, practitioners can unleash attacks that traverse elemental boundaries. This stage marks a significant expansion in the utility and versatility of the Infernal Void Flame Art.
Finally, the fifth and ultimate stage, Flame Mastery, represents the pinnacle of control and refinement.
It is worth noting that most of the Infernal Void Serpent race was born with a degree of mastery of this technique due to their natural affinity with fire, so they could master the first two stages after their bloodline awakening almost instantly. As a previous Nascent Soul Realm expert, it made it even easier for him.
The second technique, known as the Void-Space Manipulation Technique, holds immense power over the space and void.
Through this Void Dao cultivation technique, cultivators gain the extraordinary ability to manipulate and control their surroundings.
The technique is divided into two distinct sections, the first being space manipulation or the space section, which in turn consists of five progressive stages.
The initial stage, Spatial Perception, allows cultivators to develop a profound sense of the space surrounding them.
With this heightened awareness, they can discern even the subtlest shifts in the fabric of reality. This acute perception serves as the foundation for further mastery.
Moving on to the second stage, Space Shifting, cultivators learn to utilize the spatial energy at their disposal to move small objects within their line of sight. With a mere thought, they can redirect and manipulate physical matter, showcasing their growing control over the space around them.
Advancing to the third stage, Space Folding brings about the ability to fold space itself.
This remarkable power enables cultivators to shorten great distances and traverse vast expanses with unprecedented speed. By bending the very fabric of the space, they can travel effortlessly and accomplish feats that were once thought impossible.
Reaching the fourth stage, Space Warping, cultivators can now wield the power to create intricate traps or launch surprise attacks. By warping the space around their opponents, they can confine them within an enclosed area or instantaneously teleport them to a different location. This stage unlocks a myriad of strategic possibilities, allowing cultivators to gain the upper hand in battles.
Finally, at the pinnacle of mastery lies the fifth stage, Space Manipulation. Cultivators who reach this level possess an unparalleled command over space itself. With the power bestowed upon them, they can manipulate and compress space, harnessing its immense energy to launch devastating attacks.
Like the first technique, the first two stages are easy to master. The tricks begin with the third stage, but as a previous Nascent Soul Realm expert, he mastered the third stage almost instantly. Teleportation is one of the primary abilities that cultivators could acquire upon advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Fortunately for him, the phoenix blood essence that was consumed by the egg made his blood even more compatible with the void. In addition to that also the phoenix's ability to control the void could be considered as a top notch even if it couldn't be compared to the Infernal void serpent race, so when his bloodline awakened, he managed to achieve mastery over the five stages instantly.
The ability he used to kill the girl in the desert back then was exactly the space warping. He teleported the girl inside a volcano near him.
As for the blades he used when he was fighting Ling Tian, it was just him using space manipulation to condense them.
The second section, known as Void Manipulation, delves deeper into the intricacies of harnessing and harnessing the Void's power. It entails a series of 5 stages that progressively amplify one's control over the void.
In the first stage, Void Perception, practitioners are taught to hone their senses to perceive the subtle presence of emptiness in their surroundings. They learn to attune themselves to the void's energy, allowing them to instinctively detect its fluctuations and variations.
Moving onto the second stage, Void Manipulation, individuals delve into the art of manipulating the void around them.
They gain the ability to shape and alter the void, creating vacuums or distortions at will. They can condense emptiness into a concentrated form or stretch it out to expand the void's reach.
The third stage, Space-time Rifts, takes practitioners into the realm of interdimensional travel.
With their newfound understanding of the void's properties, they learn to create void rifts, ripping through the fabric of reality itself. These rifts act as gateways between worlds, enabling the transportation of objects across vast distances and connecting previously inaccessible realms.
As the cultivators progress to the fourth stage, Void Shielding, they harness the void's energy to create protective barriers. By manipulating the essence of the void, they generate a shield composed of pure void energy. This formidable shield repels opposing forces, rendering physical attacks futile in the face of their impenetrable defense.
The pinnacle of mastery lies in the fifth stage, Void Perfection. Here, individuals strive to achieve complete control over the spatial void energy.
At this level, their control over the void is unparalleled, empowering them with unrivaled authority and enabling them to manipulate the void on a truly cosmic scale.
Liang laughed as he thought about the Void section. "The real importance of this technique comes in the Void section, so it should be my primary focus alongside the cultivation technique."
His eyes flashed with excitement as he thought of the cultivation technique.
Eternal Void Ascension Technique - It's the main cultivation technique for the Infernal Void Serpent Race. After his bloodline's first awakening, he only gained seven stages, each one considered a special version of each cultivation major realm.
