Absolute In/Existence

Chapter 82: Jumping into The Well



The body changed right before his eyes.

Using his spirit, Heaven went into the body and actively felt the changes. He could feel the structure of the body change, the blood and flesh changing. The drop of blood was absorbed and analyzed, changing every corresponding part of his body.

His skin turned fair, an indescribable charm flowed out, and something within his body was born.

Seeping his mind into his body, Heaven found a weird set of ethereal veins within his body.

Different from the nerves or blood veins and vessels, these ethereal veins weren't connected to anything. Yet after these mysterious veins formed, he felt a wisp of something in the air.

"Is this… Qi?"

Heaven felt the thin amount of Qi in the air and realized that his 'main' body didn't have any spiritual channels.

Drawing away his spirit and returning it to his original body, Heaven continued to watch his change. His new body was changing right before his eyes, it looked like him, but it now held a certain indescribable charm to it. He nodded, realizing that this new body of his has attain a similar state to Cai Ling's.

Cai Ling's Physique, the Soul Bewitching Physique, had been reproduced by Heaven's new body through the analysis of the blood.

Once the new body was formed, it replicated all the unique qualities of Cai Ling's body. Whatever that made her strong was replicated by the Carefree Origin Art and the weaknesses were discarded.

Once the body was formed, Heaven felt as a shackle fell from the void and fell on his new body. Paradise had sealed it, keeping it from leaving this world.

"Amazing…" muttered Heaven, his golden eyes flashing after seeing the seal happen before him.

Rolling his eyes, Heaven approached his new body and ran the Carefree Origin Art. His Qi and Blood ran potently within his body and the connection with his new body grew stronger.

Suddenly, the new body was absorbed by the main body and all the new properties of the new body was gained by the main body. The Soul Bewitching Physique and the spirit channels were absorbed and adapted to the new body.

In that instant, Heaven's mind was taken elsewhere.

In the space deep within his body, where his body and soul were separated and only touching by a small centimeter, Heaven watched as they both began to move once more. They were overlapping closer, overlapping a whole inch before stopping.

At that moment, Heaven realized how to fix the synchronization between his soul and body.

What he once thought was a problem of having no talent, Heaven had realized that he always had talent. The true problem lied within the synchronization between his soul and body that affected his control over his body.

The stronger the synchronization, the more he can better control his body.

Before, it was like the layout of his control's buttons changed every second, but now it changed less frequently. It allowed Heaven to move his body more precisely and in accordance to what he wanted.

Paired along with his comprehension that allowed him to increase the efficiency of his training by multiple folds, Heaven wasn't too worried about the synchronization.

It would help, however, to increase the synchronization.

Days later, Heaven was finishing the last touches on his Carefree Origin Art, adding some small details to it and some support techniques.

Cai Ling had left to train with her master and receive some pointers, whilst he remained at the abode with Zhu, the little tiger cub.

Standing around, Heaven had already begun to circulate his Carefree Origin Art. He cut off his arm and watched as it transformed into another him, in a blank state.

This time, he had set limitations on his 'clone'. He had blocked every technique and cultivation knowledge from his clone. Everything aside from comprehension, foundational knowledge, formulas, and theories.

It was a plan he had prepared for when he went to travel to other worlds. To keep the knowledge and techniques of the other worlds and realities 'pure' and increase his strength through those same techniques.

Once he has gathered those techniques and brought them back in their peak state, Heaven can absorb them and combine them with the other techniques and knowledge he has.

It was his goal, and his ideology, as a scholar and a martial artist.

A greedy goal.

The only technique he had access to, was the support technique of his Carefree Origin Art, the Origin Link. It allowed his bodies to communicate between each other as long as the distance wasn't too vast.

After a second, Heaven had already created his new body. Grabbing some clothes and wearing them, he sent his body out of Yin Desires.

Due to its special state it was in whisky 'blank', the 'clone' managed to leave Yin Desires without much trouble.

Whilst Heaven's 'main' body stayed at Cai Ling's abode imprisoned, his spirit descended onto the body that had left Yin Desires.

Crossing the large bride that led him to the surface, Heaven kept himself hidden from view.

Using the single unit of inner force maintaining his body's structure, Heaven had turned into a slime temporarily. Hidden from view at a low altitude and in the shadows, Heaven eventually made it off the bridge and out of the ravine, away from Yin Desires.

With no one else nearby, he used his inner force and transformed back into his human state. Then, began his exploration of this world, Paradise.

He only had a single week to find a drop of blood before his body disappeared.

Zhu's blood could have worked the same, but turning into a beast wasn't in his plans as of right now. At least not until he understands them more.

Walking, Heaven entered the plains nearby. His eyes lit up when he noticed the graveyard that had been erected a couple weeks ago. Where all those that died during the demonic beast raid were burried.

Approaching it, and apologizing in advance, Heaven got to digging.

Lucky for him, there didn't seem to be anyone guarding the graveyard.

Soon, a grave was uncovered and Heaven saw a poor headless corpse.

With a heavy feeling in the heart, Heaven carefully took a tiny piece of flesh before letting his body absorb it.

Instantly, he felt his body changing.

His body developed veins, nerves, a beating heart, spirit channels… it all happened rapidly. The inner force rapidly disappears as it aids in the creation process.

Soon, his body was completed and the seal of Paradise landed on his body and soul.

But before Heaven could let out a sigh of relief at having constructed his body, he felt his heart begin to slow down. His rosy skin was turning deathly pale and even his body heat was falling.

Frowning, Heaven realized what was happening.

The body he had received the flesh from had been dead for so long already. It has been decomposing and rotting, meaning his body was now in a death state.

Strangely, he wasn't dying.

Maybe because of how his body was created in the first place and it's mystical nature.

Soon, the changes came to a halt and Heaven felt it himself.

Aside from the deathly pale skin and low body heat, his heart was still beating and he was still capable of movement. However, his heart was beating too slow, allowing anyone to mistake him for a corpse should he remain still for long periods of time.

Seeing how his body won't be a problem, Heaven covered up the hole once more before apologizing once more. He cleaned up the place before leaving and beginning his journey.

He had nothing but his feet and hands. With no food, ability, techniques, or weapons, Heaven was faring for himself.

Not even his regeneration or the newly acquired physique was with him. It was the best method to train and prove the efficacy of his stronger control over his body.

After the assimilation of the spiritual channels and Soul Bewitching Physique, Heaven's soul and body were now more in sync compared to before. It increased the control of his body and the proficiency of his martial arts and techniques instantly rose to the Zenith Realm.

The realm where's one's control of force and movements is impeccable. Their weapons might and efficiency increase countless folds.

When an iron sword could cut through another iron sword before, in the Zenith Realm, it could now cut through it like butter. All through precision, speed, technique, control, efficiency, and force.

But that was in his other body.

This new traveling body was in a blank state, not knowing any martial arts or techniques. Starting from zero once more.

This was an ideal state. Especially when he can now hold more than one body.

Whilst one body trained in one technique, his other bodies will train in other techniques. Increasing his proficiencies and training efficiency to another level.

For now, the goal of this new body was to find another sect and join them. Take the knowledge and techniques they offer whilst growing stronger before eventually fusing with his other body.

With no General direction to heat to, Heaven tossed a small stick he found on the ground high into the air. It twirled a single time before it fell back down.

Seeing the direction the smaller end of the stick was pointing to, Heaven began walking towards there.

Thinking there, Heaven split his soul, leaving a portion in this body before sending his spirit back to his other body.

***

Whilst he had sent his other body to travel and explore Paradise, Heaven held his fishing rod in one hand and a knife in the other.

Slash!

With one swift motion, Heaven easily cut off one leg of his whilst circulating his Carefree Origin Art. Within seconds, a new body was formed.

He now had three bodies to care for, the one traveling, the one he was in, and the one before him. It caused his soul to feel weak and feeble.

A problem getting stronger would fix, a core part of the Carefree Origin Art.

When his fhree bodies fuse after they have grown stronger, his soul would be strengthened. This will increase various capabilities of his, not including comprehension as that is at an incomprehensible level.

Nodding his head, Heaven smiled and was finally ready to begin.

Walking over to the well, Heaven began to close his eyes and pour his thoughts into his fishing rod. He wanted a place that can strengthen his foundation and a technique that will purify more golden blood within his body.

As he poured his thoughts, Heaven moved the fishing rod and the silver hook flew through the air before it dipped into the well. With a small ripple, the silver hook entered through space and time.

Plop!

The silver hook arrived at another place and that's when Heaven split a small portion of his soul once more. Sending his main spirit over to the new body, Heaven jumped into the fishing well whilst holding the silk string.

The body disappeared into the fishing well and easily passed through the portal within the well. It wasn't stopped at all by Paradise and exited this void it was in.
