Chapter 910: Heaven Forging Dragon Art



The power of bloodline and blood energy from the Everlasting Blood Refining Art was impossible to move elsewhere as it could only exist within the blood and wherever it flowed.

If it left the body for too long, it would die.

On the other hand, the aura power of the Heavenly Formless Dragon Art was intangible and could be moved anywhere. The heart and blood vessels were where it was created but not necessarily where it needed to be stored.

As long as the aura power was still within Vaan's body, logically, its potency shouldn't decline and dissipate.

It didn't take much time for Vaan to come up with two possible solutions.

The first solution was to merge the Heavenly Formless Dragon Art and Everlasting Blood Refining Art, thereby transforming the two competing powers into one.

Once they became the same source of power, they would naturally no longer wrestle for blood energy and space.

However, this solution came with two main challenges.

Merging the Heavenly Formless Dragon Art and Everlasting Blood Refining Art in itself was an impossibly difficult idea to realize.

It was not the same as merging the Everlasting Blood Mantra and Divine Blood Refining Art, these two blood cultivation methods. It was trying to fuse the divine arts of two different cultivation systems.

Although heaven and earth shared the same sky, they did not meet. The sky was the connection between heaven and earth, but it also separated the two. As such, heaven and earth could not become one.

However, if it was made possible by a powerful will, a miraculous new power would be born. Furthermore, the Heavenly Formless Dragon Art wouldn't need to be developed further to pave the way to the divine.

Vaan didn't doubt the fusion power of aura and bloodline would be incredibly powerful.

Still, it did not change the fact that the idea was difficult to realize.

As such, Vaan leaned towards the second possible solution - To fuse the aura power back into his body and become one with it instead. While this method was also not an easy task, the difficulty was much lower than the first option.

After all, the Heavenly Formless Dragon Art, in essence, was a body cultivation method. Although it had incorporated aura cultivation into it, it was also undeniable that a crucial aspect of the cultivation method was to strengthen the body to the limit.

It was a mixed aura and body cultivation method designed to maximize the body's physical potential. When human muscles could not exert the desired physical power, aura power was there to augment what was lacking and surpass the human limit.

In retrospect, aura power was the manifestation of mankind's desire for physical power that would allow men to stand head-to-head with the magic of witches.

That was how aura was created-born from men's will and manifested in their blood by their body's innate mana. It was a power that mimicked magic but wasn't magic; granted physical power but wasn't physical power either.

Aura power existed in the physical body but was also separate from it.

When Vaan pondered on the origins of aura power, he gained great insights and understood the desired direction of his body cultivation.

Recalling some fragmented memories of Varuna, Vaan had also come to realize that the present Divine Beings were not as powerful as the Divine Beings from the primordial era.

Immortality was easier to obtain in the present era, but the associated power with the realm was a far cry from the past.

However, if he could fuse aura and body to become what should have originally been one, he felt like he might gain some insights into the secret strength of the primordial body refiners.

For that purpose, Vaan began to dig deep into all the memories of his past life, salvaging whatever knowledge he could find on body refining.

No matter how trivial the information seemed, he would still collect it and organize it all into a mental folder for body cultivation.

Time slowly passed as Vaan entered deep meditation.

One hour became two, and two hours became four... After eight hours had gone by, Vaan's eyes suddenly snapped open with a bright gleam.

He had finished organizing the information on primordial body cultivation. He infused its essence into the Heavenly Formless Dragon Art to create a more powerful body cultivation method.

<You have successfully created the Heaven Forging Dragon Art (Divine rank)>

<Warning! You have created a body cultivation method the current heaven cannot tolerate!>

<Warning! Cultivating the Heaven Forging Dragon Art may attract heavenly tribulation of punishment, Divine Damnation!>

...

Vaan couldn't help but smile with anticipation and eagerness.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The warnings from the system could not make his heart waver; it only served to strengthen his conviction.

He was going to cultivate the Heaven Forging Dragon Art regardless.

The meaning behind its name was also quite simple - to use the power of heaven to forge a body comparable to the dragons.

Although dragons were no longer as impressive as they were in the present era of Chaos, they used to be the symbol of absolute strength and authority in the primordial age.

The power of heaven also referred to the boundless life energy within the unborn universe of the Profound Pearl of Life.

As such, the Heaven Forging Dragon Art was actually more imposing than what others might give it credit for.

The first step Vaan had devised for the Heaven Forging Dragon Art was to form an aura avatar with his accumulated dragon aura.

While this step in itself wasn't difficult to achieve, the challenge lay in the fact that it had to be perfectly superimposed on his body; he needed enough aura to align and match every cell. The second step required a perfect fusion of the body and aura avatar. Every fiber of his physical being had to incorporate the properties of his dragon aura.

Not only would this step be excruciatingly painful, akin to breaking down every part of his body, but it also required a tremendous amount of life energy to force the fusion process. Without an iron will, a temporary lapse in judgment during the process could result in death. It was a dangerous step that every mortal being had to go through when forging their divine body.

Nevertheless, the spiritualization process was bound to be quite different for Vaan.

While others would acquire a lighter divine body that could accept the powers of the heavenly laws more easily, he would have a heavier and denser body that could resist them.

Vaan did not know that in the current era of Chaos, the number of beings that achieved the divine way through body cultivation was almost non-existent.

It was just too difficult since almost everyone in Chaos was born with a semi-spiritualized

body.

As such, body cultivation was also uncommon, while energy cultivation and soul cultivation were mainstream.
