Every time the cultivation of the Invisible King Torture Technique began, Cai was delighted. He realized that all techniques basically focused on cultivating energy and manifesting some attribute or form.
For example, the techniques that had words like Flame, Fire, Sun, and so on in their name would logically specialize in the fire attribute and its manifestations. An attribute didn't necessarily have to be elemental, there were strange attributes such as poison, or the same attribute of the Shadow Sect's shadow... In fact, the attribute displayed the laws by which you understood and expressed energy. This was where cultivation techniques helped. For example, in fire techniques, it was often said that the speed of energy moving against each other made the fire stronger. And in wind techniques, it was possible to make the energy more subtle, so that it was sharper and sharper. Each technique, each attribute and form, had its own philosophy, had its own conventional laws, but they were all built on a base of energy.
Sometimes a certain technique required an affinity. There were for example sects of righteous people who did not allow baseless killing, debauchery, and other things in their philosophy. To cultivate their main techniques, one had to live by justice and the laws of godliness, these principles had to be in your nature, in your subconscious. In contrast, there were evil sects where the legacy required constant killing, torture, and violence. For each of these you had to have a predisposition. A righteous person at heart, would not be able to kill innocents and conversely, a lecher would not take a vow of abstinence.
During his training with Master Mo, Kai had learned a lot of theory and understood the fundamental principles upon which the world of martial artists was based.
Only rarely were there techniques that besides energy, also required a strong body, they might focus on defense or strengthening the body. But when Kai thought about his technique, he realized that it was very strange....
Already at the Warrior stage, it forced him to harden his entire body and absorb a lot of energy into every cell of his body, and also the fifth Terror King had immersed him in an illusory world where he endlessly fought on the edge of life and death... It definitely hardened his mind and spirit, a weak willed person would probably just go insane from the Torture of the Terror King. Even now, he was constantly forced to fight in the illusory world and completely deplete his energy, and even now, his body felt real in Asura's Hell, he could feel every scratch and wound.
He was constantly improving his body control, his maneuverability, his endurance. Also, his practice of leaving bleeding in Asura's Hell, as it turned out when fighting the Ghost Halberd Gang worked well in reality as well. It could be said that he learned it in Asura's Hell.
And he had already mastered the basic Ghost Blade Technique perfectly. One could say that it had been deposited on his instincts.
Thinking about it, he realized that he was essentially tempering several aspects of his skill at once... At that moment, he immediately recalled the last three laws he had heard in that amazing space three years ago. Everything that had happened then had seemed like a dream to him, but he was completely sure that it was reality. And the proof of that was his ability to see the Essence of Energy.
In his head, he repeated them again:
"Law of the Flesh, there is a fifth law. Everything begins with flesh, flesh animate and inanimate, flesh material and spiritual, even the manifestations of nature have flesh.
The Law of Energy is the sixth law. The development and activity of everything gives birth to myriads of variations of energy, its combinations and kinds.
The Law of Spirit, is the seventh law. With sufficient time, everything receives its spirit, and its consciousness, which is the manifestation of the highest form of being."
It seemed that the Invisible King Torture Technique was trying to support all three aspects... He was becoming more and more eager to find out what the origin of this technique was. How could such a legacy simply get lost and not give birth to an incredible power capable of ruling an entire continent? Kai knew the Dance of the Shadow Marks, which was one of the main legacies of the incredible Shadow Sect, but this technique was not at all comparable to the Torture of the Invisible Kings....
But after thinking for a bit, Kai realized that this technique was incredibly tyrannical and overbearing, there were hardly many people in the world at all capable of enduring it. Plus, it had to be started cultivating from the very beginning stage of Body Training. Where else would one find one such child who could endure such a thing at will?
Plus it seemed that if it wasn't for the incredible speed of Kai's Energy absorption. Then after every cycle of battle in Asura's Hell, you would receive an incredible kickback that would force you to recover for days... A true torture!
Incredible Will and Unfathomable Luck, that was the symbiosis that helped Kai! Thinking about this Kai rushed into Asura's Hell and started a bloodbath with various creatures...
He began to notice that the more powerful he became, the more often the Kings joined in the slaughter. Previously, even for several cycles of slaughter, none of the Kings could appear. But now, about every 2-3 cycles, one of them appears. Alas, so far, every time they appeared, Kai could only defend himself as their power was incredible. Kai had no way of knowing if they were beings with consciousness, or just the fruits of this incredible technique? But for now... He decided that he would just fight until he defeated them. In the future, he would definitely have to figure out this mystery!
Each cycle of slaughter took him about three hours, but in Asura's world of Hell, it seemed much longer, he lost track of time... After each slaughter, he focused and began to absorb the energy, observing and studying its Essence, experimenting with how best to distribute it throughout his body. Sometimes his eyes would shine, as if he was realizing something, and his absorption would get a little better, though a very small percentage, but better! In such a hellish and unbelievable method, the speed of his development was monstrous!
In this way he sat up all night. In the morning, a knock was heard, and a fat man came into the room barely dragging himself.
- God, Brother Kai, what happened last night? Did we drink a fucking barrel of wine?! My head is killing me! We need to go to the hot springs right away! - Holding his head and laughing hard, Diso said.
- Brother Kai, I promised to help you with the ticket yesterday... - The fat man began to speak.
- Oh don't worry, I already got it! - Kai laughed and pulled it out.
- See? - Showing it in his hand he said.
- Where did you get it?! It would be hard for me to dig up another one myself! - shouted the fat man, but then he quickly grabbed his head, -Ayayah! - He whimpered.
- Oh, yeah, I found it on the street, I thought it might come in handy! - Smiling said Kai.
- Yeah, right! You could have told me yesterday that you already have it and not to tease me! - Diso was indignant.
- Okay, okay, don't be mad. Hehehe. - Kai interrupted. He didn't want to go into details and explain a lot of unnecessary information, and he didn't want to drag someone else into his squabbles.
- ''Brother Diso, to be honest, I haven't cultivated in a while, and I'd like to get in peak shape before the banquet. So I'll be cultivating all day, go without me today, but after the banquet we'll definitely go together! - Kai said calmly.
- Ehh, I see you're cheerful! All right, today I will go alone, but for this you must tell me the secret of how to drink like you! - The fat man laughed and left the room.
After making sure that no one was near the door, Kai locked it from the inside just in case, and further sat down to cultivate. He was obsessed with cultivation, and he incredibly enjoyed fighting. His inner voice was screaming that he hadn't cultivated enough in the past few days, and now he wanted to give himself completely to the carnage. Closing his eyes and starting to use the technique, a moment later, he was already in Asura's Hell.
- So let's go! - Smiling evilly, he rushed into the thick of the bony beasts.
