Instinct to rise

"Now I don't even have a single inch of Thunder Essence but I managed to create Vitality Seed as well as reach Entry Realm of the Third Stage. This has certainly increased my defense by a lot. But I've only spent half a day to so, I still thirteen days and twelve hours left, which means I've twenty-seven days left in the black stone."

"Even if I am inside the black stone, I can use Chaos Bearing Elephant Art to absorb energy from outside but my other arts can't do so. It seems practicing Chaos Bearing Elephant Art is the right choice for now. Once I increase my strength to a certain level, I can start practicing sword. Wait a minute, instead of increasing my strength to a certain level, why don't I cultivate till it reaches the second stage."

"The second stage of Chaos Bearing Elephant Art can increase the length of a trunk to five-meter which can absorb ten centimeters of chaos energy from the surrounding per hour. One centimeter of chaos energy can increase my strength by ten centimeters of chaos energy would increase my strength by thousand pounds."

"To increase my strength by strength of a flood dragon, I need to increase my strength by a hundred thousand pounds. For now, it seems a little out of reach. But If I can reach the second stage, I can reach that strength within five days."

"Of course, I can't cultivate for five days straight even if I consume nutrient juice. I'll cultivate all time until I can reach the second stage, once I do, I'll start cultivating Chaos Bearing Elephant Art half a day while practicing sword for half a day."

"With the eye of space, I can be more proficient on Chaos Bearing Elephant Art and might even finish it within three days. Alright, then let's start my cultivation." Johnny mumbled while sitting on the futon. He had a confident expression on his face while thinking of this plan.

"Chaos Bearing Elephant Art" While sitting on the futon, he activated this art, and a meter long trunk sprout out of his head. It was straight, vertically upward. Then, it released powerful suction out of it.

"Whoosh" A large amount of energy entered the black space from Johnny's room. All of this energy was sucked at a single point, but most of it, almost ninety-nine percent of it was bursting out of Johnny's body.

All of this energy didn't escape the black space instead settled inside the space while the purest energy was getting refined by the trunk. But this process was long, just to refine a centimeter of chaos energy, it took an hour.

Of course, this process didn't make him bore because he was constantly using Eye of Space to understand the level of chaos energy inside the trunk more efficiently. He is using Eye of Space to gain more chaos energy while the trunk is sucking chaos energy from the normal energy.

Everything has chaos, everything is made of chaos, chaos is the origin of everything, but dao is the one who created chaos. Of course, Johnny didn't understand dao nor he understands chaos. He just knows what he learned from Chaos Bearing Elephant Art.

It is said, the chaos was created out of dao. The purest form of chaos is Primordial Chaos or Primal Chaos. This kind of chaos has no contact with other forms of energy, but everything still possesses it. Even from the atomic level, it is hard to find Primal Chaos.

But the chaos was a little easy to find, still, only a few races of the Universe found the way to absorb chaos. The elephant race was the first race to find the method for absorbing chaos, and this elephant was later called Chaos Elephant.

Still, even though Elephant was the first who found this method, not all elephants even no more than five or six elephants from the entire elephant race of million couldn't get that method. Later this method caused a bloodbath in the elephant race, but the one created this method was already strong enough to keep this art safe.

Later he left the race with his fellow members, went through different obstacles and opportunities to finally reach his goal. He wanted to create a race which can breathe chaos energy without using that method, or be exact breathe chaos from normal breathing.

It is said, that step was the hardest step to do. It took him fifty thousand years to complete it and finally create the race. He didn't write that method in Chaos Bearing Elephant Art and only left incomplete art to the universe.

Many tried to complete it but none succeed, none at least in a positive way. Some of them didn't succeed entirely, some succeed to a certain extent, and some completed it with certain side effects. But the population of Chaos Bearing Elephant was very less.

They lived in the most core area of the Universe, near the most powerful forbidden zone. This is all he learned about them. He cultivated regularly and took a break each day for an hour.

Like this four days passed,

"Finally, the second stage" Johnny clasped his fist and spoke. The trunk above him was ten-meter tall, and his increase made a huge leap too. Johnny murmured "I reached the second stage but I did it with my instinct, and the introduction from the first layer. Normally, I haven't gained the second stage of Chaos Bearing Elephant Art."

"I don't know if I did anything right, but I neither care about it. From the introduction, the final stage will have a hundred-meter long trunk which means that is not the final stage at all. So I can only cultivate until a hundred meters trunk which also indicates it is incomplete. Unfortunately, I can't cultivate the second stage of Nine Divine Dragon Battle Technique without instruction."

"Hmm! I think my second stage is also incomplete because if it was this easy then people wouldn't need the bloodbath in their family. Well, I can't do anything about it now." Johnny had a headache now because he forgets he didn't even have the right method to reach the second stage even though he is already there.

"Man, I got so curious and greedy for strength that I didn't even follow the procedure. Well, I need to wait till I reach the fifth grade of the warrior realm. Now, let's practice sword for a while then I can continue Chaos Bearing Elephant Art." Johnny mumbled while shaking his head.

"I want to reach the stage above the perfection but to reach there; I need to be sure about the conditions to reach that stage. Hmm! Currently, I think I can look at the Sword King Manual to learn about it. I don't if the sword king has recorded the realm above perfection." Johnny puts his hand on his chin and thought for a while.

He took out a silver book from the system space. It was thick, nearly three inches thick. He found the cover of this book was very hard, and it was even glowing in silver color. He found the heading in the cover 'Silver Sword King'.

"It seems his title was Silver Sword King. I don't if he was the one who wrote this." Johnny mumbled while turning on the first page. He began to read from the first sentence.

"My name is Andrew Maze. I was born in the west of the Milky-Way galaxy, from the planet of the Nitro Solar System. This planet might be poor on energy, but it had a healthy and sustainable environment. I was born with the Sword Light. I practiced sword from the age of four, reached the Sword Disciple at the age of six."

"Swordsman at the age of nine, Sword Master at the age of fifteen, Sword Grandmaster at the age of Twenty-five, Sword Lord at the age of forty, and finally Sword King at the seventy. I could've reached the Sword Saint Realm; unfortunately, I was locked in the Black-mist Devouring Formation."

"This place was the forbidden zone, and I was betrayed. I couldn't believe the woman I loved most in my life would betray me for the sake of my Sword Light. I thought she collided against someone and betrayed me but found she was all alone. At least, she didn't hook up with another man and chose to betray me by herself."

"She planned to make me enter the Black-mist Devouring Formation and use the sword light in exchange to take me out, but she didn't know the sword light in my body had already vanished when I reach Sword King Realm. She knew without sword light, she couldn't fight me so she left me inside the Black-mist Devouring Formation."

"On my own, I couldn't get out. So I wrote this manual to teach the fated person about the Way of Sword. I lived for thousands of years inside the formation, and finally died due to constant Black-mist Formation constantly devouring my lifespan. I don't want the fated one to take revenge for myself, because she did that for greed and when she was near to death and she came to me to beg for forgiveness before death."

"I don't blame her because humans are greedy. People's hearts can change at any moment, a swordsman tries to keep his heart free from most of the emotions, but I chose to keep one emotion for myself because of her, and that led me to my grave. But I don't regret it, because I was happy to find all those times that we spend together weren't lies."

"Having talent is a great thing but something it brings disaster to yourself. I didn't know my talent would bring such disaster for myself."

"This is all I wrote on the first page of this book which was about myself and now the fated one, from the next page I'll teach you the Path of Sword."
