Is that a Wisp? Chapter 404 The Fourth Form

“As you know, the Myriad Energies Technique that you are using has different forms. The First Form is the one that is widely known, the Pseudo Meridians. They are necessary for the cultivators or demon beasts to understand the steps required to create the true ones.”

“The Second Form is the Spiritual Energy Meridians. They are the result of your training and the fusion of all Nine Pseudo Meridians into one. Unlike normal ones, the Meridians will make the Spiritual Energy compatible with the user straight away. It is also during the opening of the Energy Meridians that they will start to become one with the body.”

“The Third Form is the Elemental Meridians. It has the ability to convert Spiritual Energy into Elemental Source Energy straight away. At it’s maxed capability, it can convert 100% of the Spiritual Energy at once. It is also the moment when the Meridians will finish fusing with you. It will become an extension of the body, and as you know already, they can be passed down like a bloodline. Your kid just now had the Elemental Meridians as well, so I believe I don’t need to say more.”

“Finally, there is the Fourth Form, which I believe you can have an idea of how it works. From the Void Breaking Realm onwards, one needs to create Chaos Energy by using laws and Elemental Source Energy for cultivation. Usually, you could do it by yourself after taking in the Elemental Source Energy, but having the Meridians doing it is several times better. Simply put, it will cut part of the job necessary.”

Krune then asked.

“So, I will need to change them?”

Karine shook her head.

“No, you will need new ones specifically for this. That means you won’t have only Nine, but Eighteen Meridians from now on. The previous Nine are already in their complete form, so there is no need to do anything with them.”

Krune thought about something.

“Usually, I send the Elemental Source Energy directly to my Divine Soul for cultivation. Does that mean that I will need to redirect the Elemental Source Energy of the Elemental Meridians into the new ones?”

Cinty nodded.

“That is correct. Think about it as if you are connecting two tubes. The first half makes the Elemental Source Energy while the second makes the Chaos Energy.”

Feifei then asked.

“Does the Myriad Energies Technique have more forms? As far as I know, the Semi-Divinity and Divinity Realms also use a different type of Energy. Could it be that there is a Fifth Form that can create that type of Energy necessary?”

Karine nodded and shook her head.

Krune understood.

“That means if I want to create the Energy Necessary for the Semi-Divinity and Divinity Realms, I will need to create a new form of the Myriad Energies Technique myself. Is that correct?”

Karine then shrugged her shoulders.

“Well, it is not wrong. But it doesn’t mean that it has to be you. Who knows? Some of your friends here might be the one who thinks about it in the future.”

Krune didn’t mind, though. More heads think better than a single one after all.

“Can I teach the others about the Fourth Form later?”

Karine nodded.

“Sure. As long as you can comprehend it yourself, you should have no problem teaching the rest. It is just that they will need to wait until the Void Breaking Realm for that. But you must remember that the Fourth Form is different for everyone.”

Krune understood why.

“Chaos Energy is created through the use of Laws and Elemental Source Energy. Although the laws are the same, the way you comprehend them is different from others. That should also impact the way you fuse them to your new Meridians, correct?”

Karine smiled and nodded once more.

“It’s good that you understand. The new meridians need laws to be fused together with them. Oh, but don’t misunderstand, you don’t need to have comprehended a Law to create a Chaos Meridian. You can create all Nine Meridians even if there is a type of Law that you haven’t understood until now. Still, the more Laws you comprehend, the better the Meridians will be able to create Chaos Energy. Any Laws are welcome in this, even the uncommon ones. After all, there are a few cultivators and demon beasts that are better in those too. In the end, it is the interaction of Elemental Source Energy and Laws that creates Chaos Energy.”

Immediately, everyone looked at Ruik.

Ruik, too, had the same idea.

“Does that mean that I can use my Dream Laws for that?”

Karine nodded.

“Exactly. There isn’t really a limit to how many laws you can fuse with the Nine Chaos Meridians. So the more, the better.”

Even though it looked simple, everyone understood the difficulty behind it. Just how many laws will they need to fully comprehend to get a 100% conversion rate? What about the Elemental Source Energy that hasn’t been converted?

Karine understood what they were thinking and then said.

“Of course, it doesn’t mean that you can’t convert the rest of the Elemental Source Energy into Chaos Energy. For example, look at Cinty. She doesn’t have the Fourth Form of the Myriad Energies Technique. However, she can still use the conventional way of converting Elemental Source into Chaos Energy by herself. It is just that she needs time to do so.”

“Well, she does have the Blackhole Divine Soul, so her cultivation speed is still ridiculously fast. You probably won’t be able to reach the same rate. Nevertheless, that will be fast enough for you to achieve the Divine Path Realm several times over. In fact, even if Krune doesn’t have the Fourth Form, he should still be able to cultivate all the way to the Divine Path Realm. It is just that he will take a lot longer to do that than if he had the Fourth Form.”

Krune agreed with her.

“That is thanks to the Myriad Energies Technique. If I didn’t have those meridians, it would be practically impossible with the amount of lifespan that I have.”

Krune then decided to ask something else.

“Why did I have to wait until the Soul Forging Realm for it? I already understood Laws while I was still in the Core Formation Realm, you know?”

Karine then explained.

“That is because I needed your meridians to reach maturity. Since your Meridians are the main type, it should have happened once you entered the Soul Forging Realm. That is also the time when your conversion rate of Elemental Source Energy will reach 100%. I know that you got 100% conversion while you were still in the Divine Soul Realm by using Elemental Path Stones, but it was not a natural achievement. Only after the Soul Forging Realm did your Elemental Meridians finished their growth.”

Feifei also understood something else.

“I see, that’s why you said that in our case, we will need to wait until the Void Breaking Realm. That is because since our Meridians are no the Main Type, they can’t reach real maturity before the Void Breaking Realm.”

Karine nodded.

“That is correct.”

After she finished saying that, Karine’s hand started to draw some seals with Spiritual Energy in midair. Those seals eventually gathered together into an orb of light. Right after, that Orb of Light floated all the way to Krune.

“Everything you need for the process is inside.”

Krune then sent his Divine Sense inside, and immediately, an enormous amount of information started to pour inside his mind. The Fourth Form of the Myriad Energies Technique had several times more information than all the three previous forms together. But that was to be expected. After all, Laws are not as simple as controlling the elements.

The others also did the same, and the information poured inside their minds as well.

It was not after an entire minute that the whole information finished to appear in their minds. Krune and the others would probably take days just to go through everything. Let alone start using it to create the new Chaos Meridians.

“Take your time going through the Fourth Form information. After you finish comprehending everything, let me know so that I can send you to the next step.”

Everyone looked puzzled at Karine.

“What next step?”

Suddenly, the door behind Karine started to open. Back then, when it was only Krune and Feifei here, they noticed that there was a door that they couldn’t open inside the Yang Hall. Karine also said that it wasn’t of their concern at that time.

“Every Hall of the Elemental Path has a room like this one. Inside, you will need to cultivate the Fourth Form to create the specific meridian of that type. The Fourth Form of the Myriad Energies Technique uses Nine Meridians, each one of a single kind, just like the Nine Major Cores/Divine Souls. My Hall, obviously, will help you in creating the ‘Yang Chaos Meridian.'”

Krune understood the method.

“I see… Yin, Yang, Elemental, Blackhole, Life, Death, Time, Space, and Destiny. All the laws in the universe definitely have something to do with those nine types. That’s why we are going to create one Chaos Meridians for each one of them. Like this, it doesn’t matter what Laws we use, we can definitely fuse them with those Meridians.” 

Karine smiled, satisfied.

“Very good! I’m looking forward to seeing the creation of your Chaos Meridians.”
