Chapter 1090: A Bit of Self-Improvement



Whoosh!

Shifting his senses towards the depths of his psyche, Valyr went ahead and brought out all of the Intents he had into the void as he decided to familiarize himself with the Truth Weaver

Scripture once more.

Swoosh!

Going through the various stages of the Truth Weaver Scripture, the young man nodded in satisfaction after finding out that he still knew the trick necessary to achieve the Tetrad stage. Thinking about the things he'd done ever since he last worked on improving his knowledge of the scripture, Valyr eventually decided to try his hand at forming a Pentad.

'I did improve my control over energy, after all,' inwardly muttered Valyr to himself, though he reminded himself that it was just a side effect of evolving to a better race.

Not only that, but the improved control that had been given to him mostly revolved around Prime Azure Energy, which had nothing to do with the control of Intent whatsoever.

Nevertheless, that did not stop him from using it as a source of motivation, deciding to focus the Truth Weaver Scripture on the Intent of Shadow Energy once again as he aimed to form a Pentad.

Whoosh!

Coaxing the energy of five Intents together before weaving them together in an abstruse way, Valyr's eyes widened in surprise when he realized that he'd progressed further than he ever did before in forming a Pentad.

Not wanting to mess up what he considered as a good opportunity to finally reach the next stage of the Truth Weaver Scripture, the young man swiftly suppressed his emotions as he focused all of his attention on making the entire thing click.

"...Haah." Unfortunately, just before the four Intents could take that final step to empower the Intent of Shadow Energy, the entire construct crumbled into pieces before Valyr could salvage the situation.

Though, just as he was about to get angry at messing up the opportunity he'd given himself, it did not take much self-introspection for him to realize that he was still a bit lacking in terms of control.

With that, he decided to focus on refining his control a bit more, experimenting a bit with his newly obtained Intent Seed while doing so.

Turning his Intent Seed of Mystic Energy into the target of the Truth Weaver Scripture, it went without saying that it easily surpassed the level of a 9th Grade Intent with just the Tetrad.

On the other hand, when he tried to use the Intent Seed to empower another Intent instead, he discovered that the boost the target Intent got from the scripture was considerably less than what the stage usually gave.

'Hmm...' Mulling over this discovery, Valyr soon realized that he could extend his current train of thought even further. 'If using Intent Seeds to empower an Intent weakens the effect of the scripture, would using Forces to empower an Intent do the opposite?'

'Now that I think about it, if the latter were true, would it be possible to boost an Intent's strength to the level of a Force? What about a Concept?'

'What if I used Concepts to empower an Intent using the Truth Weaver Scripture?'

Though Valyr wanted to find out the answers to his questions as soon as possible, the young man ultimately stopped himself, reminding himself that he currently did not have the means to verify his theories.

Feeling a bit of concern towards the young man that suddenly appeared, the man was left at a loss for words once more after seeing the young man catch himself at the very last second, conjuring a gust of wind that immediately negated most of the speed he'd accumulated.

Thud.

"Been a while since I used that movement skill." Swiping off the dust from his clothes, Valyr had a satisfied smile on his face as he took a look at his current surroundings. Though, before the young man could continue admiring his surroundings for a bit longer, a man eventually came up to him with a slightly vigilant expression.

"G-greetings, sir," said the man to Valyr after mustering up the courage. "Y-you're currently within the lands owned by Ylvar of the Blacksmith Guild."

"W-would it be alright for me to know your identity and purpose in this place?"

"But of course." Listening to the man's words, the young man could not help but smile as he

took out the parchment Julian gave him from his spatial bracelet.

Showing the parchment to the man, he then began to grin. "Ylvar of the Blacksmith Guild, at

your service."

"You won't mind if I take a look around, right?"

"S-Sir Ylvar!"

Realizing that the person that appeared within the plot of land he was guarding was none

other than the owner himself, the man's attitude underwent a quick 180 as he became somewhat subservient. "B-by all means!"

With that, Valyr went ahead and thanked the man for keeping an eye on his land while he was

away.

Telling the man after that to keep doing his thing, he also went ahead and asked for the man's name before parting his way, heading deeper into the land he bought after doing so. "Jacques has a nice ring to it," muttered the young man as he activated [Azure Dragon Soaring Skies] once more, knowing fully well that he wouldn't be able to cover the entire plot of land

on foot.

"If I remember correctly, he said he was one of the newer blacksmiths that entered the Blacksmith Guild recently."

"Hmm... I should probably make a forging hammer for him when I stop by the guild some

time."

"For now, though... it's time to figure out what goes where before I bring Ryvrthe and the others out of the inheritance."
