"What did you just say?! did you enslave me?!"
"Relax, that is not true. Those dao marks are both of the transformation and enslavement path, there will be able to help you powerup and strengthen your body as well as enslavement dao marks to help you enslave a few beasts of your choice to leave this forest."
"Wait, what? then why didn't you help me use them when I was in mortal danger before?"
"They have always activated, you just didn't notice them, you think you could have survived 3 dangerous situations with peak rank 4 beasts just casually?"
Nameless was suprised, it seems he had overstimated his strength too much.
"Wait you said I can enslave beasts using them? why didn't you said that sooner?"
"You can't enslave rank 5 beasts and you will only be able to enslave a few rank 4 beasts and a dozen rank 3 beasts."
"I understand then teach me how to do it?"
"Not now, reach the place of your birth first, you have good instincts and you know you must go back there."
Nameless was suprised, he wasn't too familiar with this world. Such knowledge and these dao marks might become a life saver later on.
"My other questions is what were those dark clouds that hit me when I had just been born?" this question had bothered him but he had nearly forgotten about it.
"They are Heavenly tribulations. They are sent by Heaven and earth when its rules are violated. Being born from a magical treasure and other unnatural way is forbidden, let alone being born as an immortal using the immortal fetus. However the immortal fetus had been heavily damaged and went instable after the tribulations, so it is it's already a miracle that it gave birth to you."
Nameless was shocked.
"What do you mean?"
"You can take it as your birth was against the rules of this world. It may be linked to your origin from another world. You are from another world, of course the world would not welcome someone just barging in but I doubt that's what happened, the immortal fetus is a supreme unparalelled anima after all."
"Anima? what's that?"
"Leave it for later, you wouldn't understand it now even if I explained. Do ask more pressing questions first."
"Then how come I can speak your langage? I just instinctively spoke it when you talked to me back then, also do you know the full abilities of my body?"
"I do not particularly know the properties of your body but I can use the purple dao marks to analyse it and get some conclusions, I should be able to find something. As for the language, the immortal fetus creates your sea of consciousness, even if this was not the case, it is still a very easy matter to transfer a language attainment. In nations, one can buy mental attainments to memorise and know a language instinctively, requiring only a few weeks of practice to be fluent, the higher one's sea of consciousness, the easier it is."
"There was such a thing, do speak about the language matter first, I need to leave this forest, it's too dangerous. Then analyse my body and tell me what you find."
"There is no need to learn language to survive in the world."
"Why?"
"Because you have a rank 3 sea of consciousness, you can understand the intent meant by words, you don't need to speak a language, you can feel it. but of course if a person speaks while hiding their intent, you won't be able to, this includes very complicated languages or languages made by people who do not want their language spoken by others."
"There was such a thing. This world is truly vast and magical. What is the language we are speaking right now?"
"It's called the Luminara language. It's the official language of the Uraya ancient kingdom and it's one of the oldest and most spoken ones in this world. I can hide the intent and show you how its written if you are interested to see if you know the way the language is written."
"Then do show me."
Nameless felt a thought enter his mind with the image of a written line.
'Это язык Луминара'
"Do you understand its meaning?"
"Yes, it says 'This is the Luminara language', right?"
"Indeed, now look at this line."
'Կարմիր ժապավենով աղջիկը'
"Th- The gir- girl with th- the re- red flow- flower?
"The girl with the red flower?"
She spoke : "You are right, this is the Lelenia language. If you go outside the forest, the the safest destination, the Aether nation speaks this language, it is filled with tribes thus there is no strict border unlike the Uraya ancient kingdom and Hajar Al Qamar kingdom."
Nameless was listening with keen ears absorbing all the information while thinking of how to utilise it effienctly, it was impossible for him to stay in this forest."
'I will have to think of a way, its almost impossible for now, this forest is too vast if not endles while I'm still too weak to even survive in it.'
"Thanks for the information, do analyse my body then."
"I will be too precoccupied with the dao marks to be able to guarentee your safety, the dao marks will also most probably glow in a purple light which may or may not attract beasts, do not fear or resist the dao marks and stay on alert for predators, I won't be able to alert you. " she spoke.
Nameless thought for a bit before he soon began descend to the ground branch by branch.
The forest was bioluminescent, it glowed with magical blueish ethereal light.
He also moved before ruffling a few bushes before yellow and red fireflies glowed and scattered all around, it was the perfect location to hide the purple light that came from his dao marks.
As soon as he was ready, the purple dao marks lighted in a blinding light almost illuminating the dark part of the forest but the other lights as well as the bushes nonetheless still hid him well."
Purple dao lines shined and moved all around his body as Nameless felt pain whenever they lighted with intensity, the pain was much bigger than he had gone through before but he bore it without complaint.
"I have finished my investigation, weirdly enough it seems that your body is stuck in three transformations at the same time. It's very odd."
"What? what do you mean by that?"
"Wait, I will send you a mental image, follow the instructions, transform your body into that transformation while I use the dao marks to try and force a breathrough."
In his mind, Nameless received a few set of instructions on how to direct the energy in his body as well as a mental image to focus on shapeshift into.
The dao marks shone ever brighter, Nameless began to shapeshift as he felt even more intense pain than before.
His ribcage expanded while his legs grew as he slowly became slightly taller, his tail extended further as his hair grew, at some point the stripes on his back invaded the rest of his body before the colour of his body slowly turned into blue.
Nameless opened his eyes as the purple light faded, he took a look at his hands and he was flabbergasted.
They looked grippy even more grippy than the monkey he had seen before. He looked at his arm and his chest, it was all blue with stripes all over. He turned back, his tail was taller and more powerful than before. His body felt even more native to the forest, his blueish colour could easily blend with the surroundings bushes and the biolumenescent forest.
"What is this?!"
"What you're body was supposed to be."
"What do you mean?!"
"It is not complicated, simply put, because of the lack energy and the tribulations, it seems the immortal fetus had been stuck in-between transformations, that's why it appeared in a unique way, the eyes you had previously are eyes exclusive to the Keiya tribe, the stripes on your back, the Naaya tribe, your body was a dysfunctional transformation of a human being with other humanoid species but now that you fully transformed and broke through the barrier, the three transformation are available to you seperately."
"What do you mean? I can turn into another form?"
Nameless tried imagining what types of beast it would be before he remembered the time he was being chased by the peak rank 4 dark abyssal hyenah at some point he had turned green.
He attempted this transformation, his chest and ribcage slightly expanded, his eye became vertical pupils, his hands grew a bit taller while his back widened, even his tail expanded becoming bigger and stronger, his hands changed too, they were still grippy but they were of a different composition.
He thought before he put his hand on the nearest tree to him, the tree was covered with green moss, as he put his hand on the tree, he felt a weird traction before his hand was pulled to the fungi sticking to it like a magnet.
"What is this?"
"It's the Keiya's innate ability, with training and a technique it can even become more powerful. The Keiya species is a wood path variant human after all. This forest isn't just its element, it is almost one with the forest, it even cooperates with the divine trees."
Nameless looked very weird in this Keiya transformation, this specie looked like the farthest you can take a human body before you no longer could distinguish wheter it was human or beast.
The Naaya transformation on the other hand still looked like a human overrall.
"I wonder what path is the Naaya specie?"
"Enslavement path. While the Keiya specie fully hunt themselves, the Naaya tribes enslave beasts to hunt with them, they even have domesticated beasts as livestocks. Both tribes do use beasts to fight. The Naaya enslaves its beasts to hunt while the Keiya use them as partners to hunt for food."
"I wonder what beast they use?" Nameless's interest was piqued.
"Haha, they use a different subspecie of same beast that ate you, the Keiya use the green hazel hyenah while the Naaya use the blue mangrove hyenah."
"Why not the dark abyssal hyenah, it looked very powerful?"
"No specie dares to enslave the dark abyssal hyenahs. Not only are they are wild and untamed, they can easily escape in the darkness, pass through objects as well as threaten the safety of the tribe by luring other beasts or tribes to the camps and secret shelters. This is why they the Keiya tribes never considered having them as companions. They are a very intelligent specie. As for the Naaya tribe, the harder the beast's will, the harder it is to enslave it, if once forcefully tries to enslave it, they would suffer backlash and get injured, if you pull too hard on a rope, the moment it is released, you will fall, it is a similar concept."
"No wonder I nearly died at its hands, it was terrifying, I should move from here, the purple light has probably already attracted a few beasts, I can't have the same dark abyssal hyenah come for me for a second round."
Nameless jumped to a branch, he was still in the Keiya tribe transformation, just by jumping, he could go upwards three giant branches.
The divine trees were hundreds of meters talls, their branches were gigantic yet it seemed the Keiya specie was well suited for this environment.
Nameless jumped from branch to branch, his speed was fast! really fast!
His arm not only attached to the fungus that covered the branches, the fungus even seemed to help him increase his speed.
His giant tail was even more impressive, it helped him do extreme maneuvers as well change directions midair.
Nameless felt true freedom similar to the first time had been transmigrated, this feeling made a special feeling arise in him.
As he was swinging at an insane speed, he suddenly slowly closed his eyes feeling his heartbeart before his awareness expanded from feeling his body to feeling the entire surrounding trees!
He swinged without looking, he didn't even need to see the branches.
In the middle of the froest, a figure moved at high speed doing incredible maneveurs, flips, sammersaults, swinged and impossible movements all coordinated to perfection.
Nameless inevitably reached the highest branches of one of the biggest trees.
He looked up gazing at the big white moon with planetary rings, it looked breathtaking.
He breathed deeply taking in the view as well as expanding his senses, he didn't even need to use the sensory quills for now.
'Woah, what an amazing feeling. I feel so free and to think that cultivator could even fly in the sky, I wish I could do the same!'
In Nameless's vertical eye pupils there seemed a small fire was burning, the fire of ambition.
Human in this world could even fly in the sky!
Nameless didn't care about worthless delicacies, wealth or pleasure but freedom, power, a higher pursuit was something that put fire in his being.
He breathed out before breathing again, his entire body felt pumped, he had never had this much muscle in his body, his eyes could "see" with absolute precision, nothing escaped his mind.
"Impressive, you can already use some of the innate abilities of the Keiya tribe or perhaps it is better to say what an impressive immortal fetus."
"Couldn't you have revealed this transformation sooner, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble before, I nearly died multiple times."
"Look at you haha, you already act as if you own the transformation, you should be thankful you even have it. As for why, it simply takes time for the purple dao marks to seep deeply into your body for me to be able to analyse it. It's also your fault for rejecting Mother's and my main body's offer."
Nameless was slightly irritated but he still moved, he couldn't stay at the same place at the same time for a long time.
