29 Chapter 28: Prime Phase and Arrival of Preys

'The Laws are all set and with their framework, they could easily Quintessence Laws as long as my cultivation reaches Nirvana. The principles supporting my laws are based on all my knowledge up till present...

They are vague and contain multiple meanings,

Neither perfect nor flawed

Touching both Serenity and Insanity

Trending between Thought and Essence

This ambiguousness is the true nature of my laws.'

With a simple intent, Raizel fell into deep cultivation mode. Aeon, Neon, Mana, and Aura, all four energies we're automatically being siphoned from the endless realities and gathering around Raizel at an extremely rapid pace.

With all the Laws in place, Raizel planned directly entering the peak of 1st stage Innate Rank; the titled 10th Grand phase. Normally, the Expert phase is already the peak of a stage but according to the recently uncovered info-- 5 more phases reigned above the Expert phases.

The Titled Phases... born form infusing Law cultivation and Energy Cultivation.

Raizel grinned foolishly as he thought about those hidden phases, thinking how right he was in naming the 5th normal phase. He remembers his thoughts when named the 5th phase as Expert and not Master.

'The peak we pursue might not be the peak, but only the limit of our discovery. In these countless realities, who claim that they know it all. And if you can't grasp it all, how can you claim to be a master of it.'

'There is no such thing as an absolute peak, only a new beginning. Therefore, there are too many experts and almost no masters. If you wish to be a master, then find your own unique way.' Raizel reminisced.

He was right, the expert phase is not the end of the road. In a way, the titled phases were the actual master phases as they belong uniquely to you. Because, every cultivator's perspective of the Laws is different, regardless if it is a Dao or a Tao.

Otherwise, Raizel would never be able to build his own Taos that represents his knowledge and the purest form of energy in Cosmos. Tao Laws were like a house, every house was constructed by the same materials but the design is varied in accordance with the cultivator.

Mana and Aura circulated around him like two revolving mobius rings, creating a special force field gathering massive lumps of energy with Raizel as the center. With every breath, his two dantians were continuously expanding themselves.

Meanwhile, Aeon and Neon rapidly refined Raizel's gene and psyc. Like a vicious cycle of natural selection, Raizel's cells were being eroded and grown continuously. His mind and body were reinforcing themselves with every cycle.

Raizel could feel the changes in himself as the process continued. With the system providing an endless source of energy from pseudo realities, he easily reached the Limit-Expert phase in all four; Psitic, Biotic, Animic, and Anumic cultivation.

As the creator of the cultivation systems, Raizel devised every step very carefully. If cultivation was like building a house then the phases determined it's quality, the stages were upgrades, and ranks were complete renovations.

For instance, in the 1st stage of Innate Rank; Acolyte and Squire stages, it was opening and expanding dantians. This stage determines how much Mana or Aura you can hold within the mortal body.

On the other hand, 1st stage Innate rank for Hunters and Shamans brought chemical reactions within the cultivator to simulate genetic and psychic evolution. This process unlocked one's true capabilities in the mortal being.

Thus, the 1st stage of Innate rank was infinitely critical for further development in cultivation. However, as Raizel passed through the Expert phase into titled Elder phase, he felt his Laws entering his body and making a few changes of their own.

A complex equilibrium formed between all four of his energies with the help of his laws, bringing forth an astounding effect within Raizel.

Mana and Aura helped accelerate chemical production which in turn boosted Neon and Aeon in efficient tempering Raizel's gene and psyc. In return, Neon and Aeon opened Raizel's acupoints and veins for Aura and Mana.

Not only this, with their full cooperation, the energies even unlocked a part of Raizel's lineages and attuned them to fit Raizel's situation. Raizel estimated that by the end of this night he would reach the peak of the Titled Phases, the 10th phase 'Prime', he was very optimistic about the end results of these changes.

The night passed and the light of the third day arrived...

'The humans are supposed to invade today according to their general patterns.' Raizel thought still sitting in the same posture as last night.

'All preparations are finished, as long as there isn't an army knocking on my doors I should be able to take down up to two hundred adventures with my current forces. I will know if they enter 5 kilometers of the base. So let's focus on the changes in myself first.' With this thought, Raizel throws the matter of humans to the back of the head.

He just reached the Prime phase of the 1st Innate stage, naturally, his utmost priority right now is to inspect the changes in himself.

'Interesting, my veins and acupoints have been transformed into an exclusive mana and aura circulation cycle. Though incomplete, the process turned a total of 248 acupoints into energy storage points.

If this pattern is correct then in cosmic cultivation, I already have 124x more mana and aura then a normal expert phase, 1st stage Innate rank cultivator.'

'On the other side, my origin cultivation is even more extravagant. It refined and synthesized my lineages, even revived a few forgotten lineages. The Seraphim and Nephilim lineages are still locked but the goblin and imp lineages have been synthesized with two new ones.'

'The new lineage completion rate is 25%, it will probably reach 100% in the fourth stage.

I knew that the goblin blood had too many extra strands but this is damn overwhelming...

Oh! They are here...' Raizel thought as he detected groups of humans entering the forest through the reconnaissance spells.
