Primordial Lotus - Chapter 4 Chaotic Human Path And Holy Yang Blood Method.
Everlasting opened his eyes as he heard the chirping of the birds.
He did some basic stretching exercises to properly awaken his muscles. Feeling the blood rushing into his muscles and warming it up Everlasting smiled.
After he understood his father’s intention in giving the Blood sea Source Crystal, Everlasting decided to sleep for the night.
But now in the morning, his mind is a bit clearer, he did feel a bit apprehensive about this idea.
‘Still, on the plus side, it’s my first time sleeping,’ since his last body was that of a plant he did not have the need to sleep, now that he experienced sleep he found it very comfortable.
Everlasting opened the door of his small house to see that his breakfast was placed at the doorstep. Taking into the house and placing it on the small table he went to the nearby well, drank some water.
Suddenly he felt an unpleasant feeling in his lower abdomen.
Browsing through Wei Jin’s memories, Everlasting immediately found out the cause for this.
‘This feeling means I have to poop.’
Everlasting frowned, as his previous body was a lotus, he never had to poop. For a moment he was confused, but he remembered what actions to take from Wei Jin’s memories. So he refilled a bucket of water from the well and bolted to the small bathroom at the back of his house.
After doing the deed, Everlasting came out of the bathroom with a frown on his face.
He hated the unpleasant smell.
‘I have to create a Merit Law that will eliminate the need for pooping,’ he vowed as he walked back into his home and took a wooden stick which had a strong the smell of medicinal herbs.
This stick was Wei Jin’s toothbrush. Form Wei Jin’s memories, Everlasting knew that brushing the teeth was a ritual of all humans in the mortal domains.
After brushing, Everlasting took a bath near well, since this was an isolated corner of the Wei families compound, no one came here except for the servant that delivers Wei Jin his food. So it was safe for him to be naked near the well.
After drying off Everlasting ate the now cold food. To others, the food might seem bland but to Everlasting, it was a new adventure. He lacked the sense of taste before so he was flabbergasted by the new sensation he was feeling.
From Wei Jin’s memories, he used to get food much more delicious than the one he was eating currently before it was concluded that he couldn’t cultivate.
Everlasting vowed to eat all types of delicious food in this mortal domain.
After having his fill, Everlasting once again began planing his cultivation.
Unlike Everlasting, his 8 brothers were born with a Merit Law perfect for them engraved into their mind. Such Merite Law is called Genetic Merite Law.
Genetic Merite Law was not a rare thing, in fact, all Demon beasts are born with a Genetic Merite Law that is most suitable for them.
And even human have a Genetic Merite Law, it is the same Merite Law that is that the Primordial Human of Chaos uses.
This is because the Primordial Human of Chaos is the progenitor of all humans.
But sadly Primordial Human of Chaos chose to seal this Genetic Merite Law in his children as they were incapable of cultivation it due to their weak blood essence.
This seal was a special genetic seal which is passed down from generation to generation without weakening, just like how a hereditary genetic traits are passed down.
And this special seal was made by Everlasting himself under the request of his elder brother Primordial Human.
Only Everlasting knows the key to opening this seal, not even Primordial knows it.
One cannot destroy it as the seal is a quintessential part of the human soul. Destroying will cause the soul to shatter. And the seal is hidden deep in the soul. It is impossible to find them unless you know the special method to find it.
Everlasting found the first seal and bought it to the junction of the body and soul.
He slowly opened the seal using a series of hand seals, time flew by and 6 hours passed, and finally, he opened the first seal, but just as it opened it released a strange worm made of soul energy. This worm literally at the speed light burrowed into Everlasting’s soul. This was a soul-destroying worm that Everlasting put as a fail-safe for the first seal just in case someone accidentally opens the first seal.
Once the first seal was opened the soul-destroying worm will burrow into your soul and destroy it. The soul-destroying worm is designed in such a way that when the seal is closed your soul energy nourishes it, this meant that the stronger your soul grows the stronger the soul-destroying worm is.
Since it burrows into your soul at the speed of light and since the seal is at the junction between the soul and the body, you don’t have enough time to react and stop it.
Once it burrows into the soul, since you can’t circulate your Qi into your soul, so Qi is basically useless at this point.
Soul energy is also useless as the soul-destroying worm feeds on soul energy. You might think that worm could be over feed to death but that is exactly the worms aim, it eats and eats till it explodes and causes your soul to collapse.
At this point even if your body survives you with a fragment of your soul you will be a retard.
Everlasting was not worried about the soul-destroying worm as it was his own creation and he knew how to kill it.
He quickly made another series of hand seals and the energy around him was sucked into his soul and the soul-destroying worm was killed by this influx of energy.
This energy had a special frequency specific to the soul-destroying worm once this energy touches it, the worm dissolves into normal soul energy.
After the soul-destroying worm was dealt with a series of information flooded.
‘So this elder brother Primordial’s Merit Law, the Chaotic Human Path.’
Everlasting smiled he felt a profound sense of achievement but he quickly sighed.
This was only the first stage of the Chaotic Human Path, called the Path of Mortal Man. There are still more 20 more seals for him to unlock to get the full Chaotic Human Path.
Although he knew how to open them all he decided against it.
One reason is that all 21 seals have 21 different fail-safes, each one of them more troublesome than the last.
To open the second seal he needs to collect several mystical materials to counteract the fail-safe.
Another reason is that the Path of Mortal Man is enough to keep him busy for a while.
As he went through the path of Mortal man, he crosschecked to see if it is compactable with Eclipsing Hydronic Chart.
He did some mental simulation and concluded that no problems will arise if both of these are cultivated simultaneously.
The Chaotic Human Path is Body tempering Merit Law, while the Eclipsing Hydronic Chart is Qi Merit Law. Since the path of the Body and path of the Qi can be cultivated simultaneously, there shouldn’t be any issue in cultivating the Chaotic Human Path and the Eclipsing Hydronic Chart at the same time.
Everlasting believes that Chaotic Human Path is the best Body tempering Merit Law in creation.
Even his father, the God-Emperor complimented and said that Chaotic Human Path is slightly better than the Emperor’s own Genetic Body tempering Merit Law. The Emperor continued to say that if he was a human he would have changed his Body tempering Merit Law to the Chaotic Human Path.
Due to this, the 8 brothers had always been envious of the Primordial Human of Chaos.
So Everlasting was very eager to cultivate this Merit Law.
But he could not cultivate it right now, as his blood essence quantity and quality, is too low.
Unlike most other Body tempering Merit Law, that uses external stimulus like radiations, pills, mystical materials, cream, etc. The Chaotic Human Path uses the blood essence inside our body.
If the if quantity and quality of your blood essence is too low then it will cause a cultivation rebound. If the rebound is small you can get away with a few internal bleeding, if it is strong you will directly explode into a bloody mist.
The very sad thing is that the amount of blood essence need for Chaotic Human Path is absurdly high.
But there are a few ways to increase your blood essence quantity, such as some demonic Merit Laws which involves killing and absorbing the blood essence of others or by eating mystical materials like Dragon blood fruit can increase the quantity of blood essence.
But it is almost impossible to find a Merit Law to increase your blood essence quality.
Not even the God Domain or any of the other major domains in the Holy Alliance have a Merit Law to increase blood essence quality. Even though a lot of research had been done none of them had any positive results.
But there is a mysterious domain at the junction of both the Holy Alliance and the Dark Alliance called Endless Blood Sea Domain. This domain produces mysterious energy called Pure Blood Energy.
Continuous exposure to Pure Blood Energy has shown to increase both the quality and quantity of the blood essence.
And the Source Crystal that the God-Emperor gave Everlasting is connected to the Dao Source of the Endless Blood Sea Domain, giving him access to a ridiculous amount of Pure Blood Energy.
But sadly the rate at which the blood essence increases under the nourishment of the Pure Blood Energy is excruciatingly slow. It is so slow that it will take at least a million years to show a visible difference.
And this is where one of Everlasting’s adventure comes to play.
Although Everlasting was very weak compared to his brothers. There is one thing that he takes pride in is his espionage ability.
Under the order of his father, he infiltrated the Dark Alliance several times. One such mission, his avatar was passing through the Endless Blood Sea Domain, and it took over the body of a person form a humanoid intelligent species that was local to the Endless Blood Sea Domain, that call them self Majin.
From the memories of the Majin, he understood that this race where10 feet tall on average and have snake-like blue scales on their body and sharp back claws. They lived a primitive and peaceful life by hunting and farming. But when the time comes they can be a warlike race.
But the thing that interested Everlasting is that Majin did not have a dantain or meridians. Instead of meridians, they used their strong blood circulatory system to circulate Qi and store most of the Qi in their intercellular space.
This truly intrigued Everlasting. The reason why Qi is not circulated through the blood circulatory system for other species is that the collision between the fast-moving Qi and blood cells will destroy the blood cells and slow down the Qi circulation.
Some have proposed to circulate Qi like how oxygen is circulated but the rate at with blood circulates is far too slow, to support an intense fight.
After kidnapping a few Majin and examining and experimenting on them Everlasting conclude their blood cells have evolved a special coating on them which protect the blood cells from the collision with Qi.
Another thing that Everlasting noticed one of the Majin that he had captured, had higher quality and quantity of blood essence. He searched the memories of this Majin and found out that this he was a high ranking Majin that had access to higher ranking Majin Merit Laws. One of the Merit Law that he cultivates is called was a special Merit Law called Surging Blood Method that can increase the quality and quantity of blood essence.
Everlasting was obsessed with Merit Laws, so of course, he wanted to find out about this Merit Law that none in the Holy Alliance could make. He himself had done some experiments in the blood essence field but none of them were fruitful.
He infiltrated the Majin race and got his hands on the Surging Blood method. (Complex information like Merit Law’s cannot be retrieved from searching memories)
He looked through all the other cultivation method they had but nothing else caught his eye.
He eventually discovers that the Surging Blood Method is the Genetic Merit Law of the Progenitor of the Majin.
This meant that this method can only be cultivated by Majin.
But that did not stop Everlasting, now that he had a direction he was sure to create a Blood essence Merit Law that everyone(that had blood) could cultivate.
After millions of years in research and with over 30 million assistants/ Lab rats dead. He finally succeeded in creating it.
He called it the Holy Yang Blood Method.
A Merit law that can increase the blood essence quality and quantity. He never shared this law with anyone else, he does not know how his father found out but that was irrelevant.
But there was one flaw that this Merit Law had it was that it could only be cultivated with Pure Blood Energy. Which is only found inside Endless Blood Sea Domain.
His previous was that of a plant so he did not have blood, so this Merit Law was useless to him but now things are different.
With the Endless Blood Sea Source Crystal, he had the ability to increase his blood essence to the level of his elder brother Primordial.
