Over the few hours, Aiden, Ace, and Linley waited whilst Jordon, Kaymin and the others went to round up Killian and the other Acolytes of the Yin-Yang Pavilion, including the pale-faced Amira.
In that time, Ace had already expined Amira’s dition to his master, so when he saw her weakened dition, Aiden wasn’t surprised. In fact, he agreed with her decision.
He uood that as Ace’s soulmate, her talent was in no way inferior to his. Still, it was only after seeing the abilities granted by her bloodline awakening that he uood how true it was.
With her current level of talent, he didn’t doubt for a sed that this adoptive niece of his would definitely be able to turn this disaster into a blessing; it was merely a matter of time.
When everyone had gathered, Aide away all of those with lesser talents, including Linley’s family and friends.
Although each of them were incredibly talented, being desdants of the four supreme warriors, that talent was only regarding the path of warriors.
It was on knowledge that aside from the Violetfme Warriors, whose bloodline boosted their prowess as mages – and thereby affinity to fire – the other three all suffered from poor affio the ws of nature.
It was exceedingly rare for a desdant of a supreme warrior to be blessed with det affinities, which was why, of the ten alive and present in this era, aside from Lauriel, who ure-blooded Violetfme Warrior, only Linley and Alissa were blessed with exceptional affinities.
After everyone else was dispersed, the only ones remaining were Ace, his fellow disciples from the Pavilion, Wukong, Leona, Linley, Bebe, and surprisingly, Ace’s mother, Milianna. Although, wheook the time to really think about it, her being allowed to stay made sense.
Not only had her pure soul pletely recovered, as a haki user, the power of her soul was especially powerful. It had to be said, of all those present, the only ones with talent surpassing hers were Ace, Amira, and Linley. Even Leona and Bebe – tex Divis – could only be said to be on her level.
“What’s this about?” Amira whispered to Ace whilst sitting on Leona’s back, leaning against Ace’s lean body for support.
“The old man pleted his breakthrough,” Ace said softly, gently holding Amira.
Even though, teically speaking, Ad Amira’s retionship hadn’t progressed siheir versation ba the Rohault Empire – Ace still wanting to wait until he had finished his business with O’Brien before taking things any further – unofficially, they appeared to be getting closer and closer by the day – that was especially true after Amira got injured.
Unless he was training, Ace would spend almost all of his free time by her side. To be fair, even when he was training, Amira would speime by his side, silently fog on her prehension of the Law of Light’s Profound Mystery of Purity, as though being by his side gave her strength.
At first, they would still be embarrassed ag so intimately when others were around, but after a month, they had long siteo it, as had everyone else. Even Amira’s ‘mother’, Empress Sharanthia, though still sceptical, didn’t say much else. She could see the joy being by Ace’s side brought Amira, and there was nothing she wanted more than the happiness of the daughter of her deceased, beloved older brother.
“He also somehow mao create a new path that allowed his strength to take a giant step forward.” Ace tinued with his expnation. “Now, he’s going to expin the specifics of this new path of his to each of us.”
Amira’s eyes widened in surprise when she heard that, but before she could ask anything else, the sound of her uncle’s voice caught the attention of everyone present.
“Now that all of you brats are here, let’s begin,” Aiden said zily. “As some of you already know, I left the Pavilion to enter seclusion over a year ago so that I could attempt to push my soul into the realms of a deity, and thankfully, I was successful in my breakthrough.”
As he said that, the eyes of Linley and the others all stricted into pinholes as they felt aremely tyrannical and overbearing energy surround them.
“Godrealm,” Alissa muttered, feeling the familiar energy surround her – It was identical trandpa Cesar’s after he broke through to the deity realm.
Though it had dohing to suppress them, it made each of them feel like they were mere ants standing before a deity.
“Show off,” Aorted, causing Aiden to give Ace’s soul a slight shock to teach him a lesson before tinuing as though nothing happened.
“It was after making my breakthrough iwin Horn Peak in the mountain range of death and using my newly enhanced soul to observe the unique aspects of the wind that I had an epiphany, leading to my discovery of this new path,” Aiden expined.
“Twin Horn Peaks?” Killian asked. “Mountain Range of death?”
“The mountain range of death is one of the tis forbidden areas of the ti. It’s said that all who enter will find themselves uo leave – or at least that’s the case for mortals.” Joel expined. “But to saints and experts on the level of Grand Elder Aiden, it’s just another slightly unique location in our ti.”
“The truth is the Twin Horn Peaks were formed in such a way that when the winds travel through It, it makes a howling sound that affects the soul of those who hear it,” Aiden expined. “But like Joel said, it’ll only really affect the souls of mortals and those saints with weaker souls.
But anyway, whilst the wind, I realised that even though I ’t prehend the ws directly, there’s no reason I ’t prehend the abstract cepts of the wind and apply them to my givesmanship.”
As Aiden said to there, he began to dispy his new and improved givesmanship.
Although he had no oppo, it didn’t stop Ad the others from marvelling at the dispy. It was truly enting.
“It’s as though both Uncle and his give have fused with the wind, essentially being a force of nature,” Amira’s eyes sparkled the more she watched.
As someoh an exceptional affinity to the ws of the wind, she was able to take away more from this dispy than Ace was.
It wasn’t just her either. Be it Alissa, Kannal, or Linley, each of them had exceptional affio the ws of wind; as such, this dispy was especially mesmerising to them.
“As I’ve already said, this path is still very mu its embryonic stages, and although my experience ’t pare to those supreme experts in the universe, I genuinely believe that this is the true path of utilising the ws or at least half of it,” Aiden said, a gentle smile pying his lips as his give dahrough the air with an undeniable charm. “I believe that when you utilise the profound mysteries, they should be used as the basis for your supreme and finishing attacks, but what about when you’re just attag normally?
My wife’s family heirlooms include videos of supreme experts from the various higher realms who have dotle in our pne in the past. Although their supreme attacks are something I ’t even begin to fathom, when attag normally, their attacks tend to be brutish at best, simply relying on raw strength and speed.
Some were skilled enough to create supreme attacks that could be used repeatedly over extended periods of time, but it was still a waste of their energy. They should focus on using their divine energy for their supreme attacks to kill their enemy when the right time arises.
A feat that bees entirely possible by infusing the cept of a w into your on handling. Doing so wastes not an ounce of your divine energy. Instead, it relies solely on the body’s stamina and endurance, which, fet the deity realm, even at the saint stage, bees virtually limitless.”
The reason why saints no longer use [impose] is that [Impose] is merely a way for mortals to bee oh nature, using the forother nature tthen their attacks. But upon being saints, the body goes through an evolution, preparing them fodhood. This evolution essentially makes their body oh nature, meaning that without having to actively do anything, their attacks hold the same effed power of [impose].
This evolution allows them to the need for food or sleep; it also gives them a limitless amount of physical stamina.
“Unfortunately, there is one prerequisite for truly starting upon this path,” Aiden said as he gradually came to a stop. “And that is for you to bee a deity, or at least your soul must reach that level.”
Everyone’s eyes were sparkling as they hung on Aiden’ every word, but when they heard the prerequisite, their expressions couldn’t help but drop.
Among them, the closest among them to the Deity realm was Wukong. After initially fusing two profound mysteries, his prehension had already stepped into the deity realm, meaning that he would fao bottlenecks when increasing his realm until he reached the Demi-God realm.
Still, even if he stopped fog on his prehension and focused all his time and energy on increasing his realm, it would still take the better part of a decade to bee a Demi-God.
It had to be remembered that prehension, whilst the part that slowed most oh to godhood was only one of two things needed when being a deity. The other was the accumution of energy.
Although the process of abs energy was simple, it was still a gradual process, especially as the amount of energy needed was simply astronomical.
As such, it was no surprise that each of them was so disappointed by Aiden’s revetion.
“As I said before, this path is still very mu its infancy stage, plus I’m merely a cripple who ’t sehe ws of nature, so I don’t know if there’s another way, but as it stands, the only way to truly ihe cepts of the ws into your on art, is via the use of a divine on,” Aiden expined, going back to his usual zy and ued demeanour.
As he did, the eyes of all those present widened as they stared at him, or more specifically, his on.
“Yive…” Ace said incredulously. “It’s a Demi-God Artifact?”
