Chapter 10 - Heavenly Yin Profound Veins

Currently, Tatsuya only has a single innate ability that works using profound energy, and that is the innate ability, Eidos Manipulation. This ability is based on profound chants, thus it is fully compatible with the usage of profound energy.

It fully edits and rewrites the Eidos of an entity, which means that this ability could change an entity's physical structure. However, Tatsuya has another innate ability which is the Decomposition.

Decomposition is a godlike ability that allows Tatsuya to perform a decomposition reaction on the target, ultimately resulting into targets decomposing into atoms. However, this ability is heavily relying on Tatsuya's Elemental Sight, as this ability allows Tatsuya to view an entity's molecular structure. Without Elemental Sight, Tatsuya's Decomposition and Eidos Manipulation will be rendered unusable.

(The only reason why I was able to defeat those 8 thieves is because of my innate ability Decomposition. Since, I myself, have Elementary Profound Realm cultivation base, I was familiar with the molecular structure of entities at this level. However, decomposing someone at higher cultivation level is a different matter. )

Tatsuya inwardly thought to himself, as he pondered inwardly. He currently sat on the floor of an average looking room. A bed could be seen on the corner, while the window located at the side is opened.

After fetching the horse on the Floating Cloud City, Tatsuya immediately decided to leave, as to avoid any further troubles. Tatsuya is currently residing within a small backwater town called Cyan Forest Town. This town is located two hundred kilometers west of the Floating Cloud City.

(When someone advances into higher cultivation level, their molecular structure is slightly altered, to the point that it's completely hidden from normal eyes. However, since I possess the Elemental Sight, I could detect that changes, also I got this vital information from the Information Dimension which I accessed a while ago.)

(The problematic thing is that, my Elemental Sight usually prioritizes to analyze huge changes, and as such instantly analyzing someone of higher cultivation level is currently not possible. But, if I could somehow encounter someone of Nascent Profound Realm in this town, I would be able to take my time at analyzing their molecular structure.)

Now that Tatsuya is on the verge of completing the recreation of his innate ability, Decomposition, and making it fully compatible on profound energy, Tatsuya is already considering the plans and moves he must make.

(The recreation will be done in about 5 minutes, eh. I didn't think that I will spend so much time in recreating abilities.)

Tatsuya lifted his chin upwards, as he gazed at the sky outside of the window. Seeing that starry skies filled with stars, Tatsuya felt a calming energy enter his room. He felt satisfied and relieved that he was still able to enjoy a life such as this, simply gazing into the sky and such.

…

The night had already ended, as the sun bloomed and shimmered the whole world with its light. Within a certain tavern located at the town, a young man leisurely emerged from the tavern's door. He had unordinary clothes that resembled a uniform, a pitch-black ring could be seen on his ring-finger, as his striking pure-blue eyes gazed its surroundings.

(Let's see if we could find someone of Nascent Profound Realm today.)

With his strongest ability finally becoming usable, Tatsuya felt a sense of security remain within his heart. His innate ability, Decomposition, now fully functions using profound energy. Since Tatsuya is still at 2nd stage of Elementary Profound Realm, he could at most use this ability 10 times.

Tatsuya already adapted a new style, and that is maintaining the usage of Elemental Sight at all times. Although, he could only maintain it at 50% of its capacity, it was more than enough to completely receive all the information he needed. He wasn't scared because this ability still sustains itself using his psions reserves.

"Hey, did you hear?"

"What now, man? Do you have some recent scoops?"

"Ahaha, you won't believe what I'm going to say. I heard that the Xiao Clan is marrying off their cripple with 'her'!"

"Her? D-don't tell me!"

"Yes, it's the genius of Xia Clan, Xia Qingyue. The goddess of many, including me! And now, that cripple Xiao Che is actually marrying her…"

Hearing the loud voice, Tatsuya felt interested when he heard the name Xia Qingyue. He sneakily leaned against a random building wall, as he pretended to not care, while listening carefully on their conversation.

"So, when are they going to get married?"

"Well, I only heard rumors but it should take place within this month!"

After hearing that the cold-woman was going to get married to some guy, Tatsuya smirked. He stood straight, as he opted himself to continue his objective for today. Although, he felt quite interested about Xia Qingyue's matters, it wasn't to the point of neglecting his own goals.

(Oh, finally someone at Nascent Profound Realm entered my sight.)

Retrieving the information that contained the necessary things required for his objective, Tatsuya immediately began walking towards the target who is supposedly has Nascent Profound Realm cultivation base.

After walking for a few minutes, Tatsuya finally spotted a confident-looking tall guy sitting on a bench that is located beside a simple decorated fountain. He stood away from the guy, separating them with an appropriate distance.

He began analyzing the target's atomic structure, as he just calmly stood on the park while pretending to wait for someone. He hadn't even once engaged in eye-contact with the target, but only viewed the target through his special sight.

(Done.)

Tatsuya finally had the atomic structure of cultivators that has Nascent Profound Realm cultivation base. He opted himself to leave, but was immediately halted by someone's hand. The hand itself felt unusually soft yet rough, it was a weird combination.

He slowly turned his gaze behind him, as he felt confused that he can't see someone within his sight. He involuntarily looked downwards, as he saw a pitiful little lady tugging his sleeves.

"Big brother, can you give me some coins?"

"…"

The little lady looked dirty, as her clothes were in tatters. She wasn't even wearing a pair of shoes to protect her little toes from harm. She looked really pitiful; as Tatsuya could instantly sense that someone was abusing and hurting this little girl.

"Little girl, why are you out here begging for coins?"

"Uhm, so I could get myself some buns for today?"

"How about I accompany you to the stall and I'll buy buns for you?"

"U-uhm…"

Tatsuya crouched downwards, as he looked at the girl. Once he said his last statement, the little girl started fidgeting for some reason. Tatsuya instantly saw through the reason, and it was obviously because she was scared.

(Well, it's not my business…)

"Here, I'll just give you 1 yellow profound coin."

"Thank you, thank you big brother!"

The little girl smiled at Tatsuya, spite of the fear that was clearly bothering her. Tatsuya slowly stood up from his crouching position, as he opted himself to leave now. However, before he even thread a single step forward…

(Eh? This girl actually possesses the Heavenly Yin Profound Veins?)

When Tatsuya accessed the Information Dimension last time, he basically became the most knowledgeable individual within this planet. Every single thing that exists within this planet, at least on surface level, was already committed on his memory. And that includes the different profound veins.

Heavenly Yin Profound Veins is a type of profound veins that allows an entity to seamlessly absorb Yin energy from the surroundings. Yin energy contains water, ice, and darkness energies. It is extremely fundamental for women to absorb this kind of energy. But, it's also great nourishment for men, as the Yin energy would make the Yang energy on their body more stable.

(Who in the world is this girl? Someone of this talent should be out there experiencing the world… This profound veins will allow myself to advance my own profound veins to another level. Although, it wouldn't make me invincible, it would make me resistant against Yin energies on a certain level.)

The little girl just waited for Tatsuya to leave, as she stared at the slender back of Tatsuya. A flash of emotions bounced on the girl's eyes, as she found herself unable to utter the words she wanted to say. She wanted to ask the big brother before her to save her from the bad guys who was abusing her. But, she didn't dare to state her wish, as she knew that the bad guys were watching her every movements.

"Hey little girl, how about I ask you to tour me around the city? I'll give you profound coins for this work."

"Really?!"

"Yes, I will."

Tatsuya suddenly offered the little girl a short-term job, as his indifferent eyes still remained. The little girl didn't knew Tatsuya's intention, as she just felt happy that she would be able to stay outside for a little longer. She was only allowed to stay outside to gather and beg for coins, after that, she would be locked up again.

"Then, what's your name little girl?"

"Me? My name is Chu Xin! Big brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Shiba Tatsuya."

"Big brother Tatsuya, ehehehe."

"Let's go…"

Tatsuya offered his clean hand on the little girl, as the latter widened her eyes in surprise and shock. Turbulent emotions flashed within the little girl's eyes, as she reluctantly clasped Tatsuya's hand. Warmth flowed into her body, as she involuntarily stared at Tatsuya.

Tatsuya didn't looked at her and just stared in front of him. He was monitoring the men who was watching their movements, most specifically Chu Xin's movements. Right now, his goal is to copy the little girl's genetic modification. But, with the things as is now, that is impossible.

(Thankfully, you guys are Nascent Profound Realm cultivators.)

Tatsuya inwardly heaved a sigh of relief, as he found out that the men were people that he could demolish. He clasped Chu Xin's hand tighter, as he walked forward. He smiled at Chu Xin, as he talked to her.

"First, let's go there…"

"Okay, big brother Tatsuya. So, this place is…"
