New Hegemon

Inside the cave of Ancestor Ki-Nam, Jong In-Su entered and immediately bowed down. The Ancestor was extremely pleased at how his disciple has grown as both a martial artist and a doctor.

"Disciple, my Earthmerge has arrived. When you enter the Hegemon Who Comprehends Earth you will enter a tribulation called the Earthmerge where it tests your ability to comprehend the laws of the world. In two days I will undergo the Earthmerge and if I don't succeed my soul will dissipate right here. If I succeed I will begin my journey of the myriad worlds to begin comprehending the secrets of the Heavens."

Jong In-Su nodded his head, he memorized all the knowledge Ancestor Ki-Nam taught him as they would be helpful when he reached that point of his ascension. 

Ancestor Ki-Nam continued "Whether I succeed with my Earthmerge or not. I want you to accept the deal on behalf of the Golden Flower Clan to become the Imperial Doctor for the Joseon Emperor. You need to explore the world and expand your knowledge. Also you can only get revenge when you reach the Martial Emperor Realm. The Tang Clan is old but their talents never lied in cultivation but in surprise attacks which is why your clan fell despite the strength of the Poison Dragon Clan."

Jong In-Su got on one knee and bowed "I will follow your orders master. You will succeed with the Earthmerge!"

Ancestor Ki-Nam laughed before waving his hand "Go. I must stabilize my mental state before the Earthmerge occurs."

The next 3 days were nerve racking. The entire valley shook continuously. The sky looked like it had a crack as the clouds split everytime it went above the valley. All the beasts that roamed the valley hid due to the terrifying aura from the Earthmerge.

There were some cities around the valley and so the spies within those cities reported the strange happenings to the various powers.

Inside the Joseon Palace, a man wearing a full red gown sighed. This was the Joseon Emperor, one of the few Martial Rebirth Experts in the empire. Enviously he looked into the palace's roof "When will I get to attempt my Earthmerge. If only my foolish sons could stop fighting. Only then can I leave to explore the universe without worry."

Within the valley, a light shone from the sky onto the cave of Ancestor Ki-Nam, Jong In-Su watched closely. The flourishing light shimmered before dulling in cycles. This represented the Ancestor's lifeforce during the Earthmerge. 

If he failed his lifeforce would be taken by the World and he would die. But if he succeeds he will be able to use the laws of the world to commit feats that no human can do like true flight and teleportation.

The light started to glow brighter and brighter, everyone looked with excitement as the Earthmerge drew closer to its end. 

With one last shake the light became as bright as the sun itself causing everyone to look away. They felt an aura they had never felt before. Strength far beyond even Martial Rebirth Experts. 

This was the strength of the Laws of the World. Ancestor Ki-Nam succeeded. All the clan members watched in complete awe as the figure of their centuries old ancestor flew through the air.

True flight, the ability to fly in the air without the need of Ki through manipulating the laws of the world underneath your feet. 

Ancestor Ki-Nam shouted "Clan! I must leave this world to explore the expanse beyond! But I will not leave without knowing the clan will survive long enough to produce another Hegemon! I shall give the clan these 3 Golem Puppets that are on the level of a Martial Rebirth Expert with a reconstructing foundation! I shall also set up a formation called the Heaven Defending Earth Destroying Formation. The Clan Leader shall wield the Formation Medallion allowing him to activate either the Heaven Defending Shield to hold out against even hegemon level beings or use the Earth Destroying power of the formation to easily kill Martial Rebirth Experts."

The clan was sad that they had lost a major expert that was basically the defending figure of the clan. But the treasures they received might be even more terrifying than just Ancestor Ki-Nam prior to becoming a Hegemon Who Comprehended Earth. 

Golem Puppets is one of the most popular constructs created by those who follow the path of constructs. Puppet Constructs are constructs that are autonomous and follow the instructions of the master. Golems Constructs are constructs that require a cultivator to enter, giving the cultivator greater power as they control the golem.

The Golem Puppet combines both of these concepts allowing it to be both autonomous and controlled directly by cultivators. The Clan Leader was a newly ascended Martial Rebirth Expert so with the Golem Puppet it was like the clan had 4 Martial Rebirth Experts.

Soon after getting all the clan's affairs in order he for one last time brought Jong In-Su to his cave "Congrats master in successfully completing your Earthmerge!"

The ancestor laughed "If I didn't succeed after preparing for so long I would be a laughingstock." 

His face became serious "I have never given you any treasure right? Well I have prepared a few before I leave." 

He waved his hands and multiple treasures appeared before him "The first thing I have for you is a Spatial Ring. For you to store all of your items in. Second, I will give you the 360 Golden Needle Set. These needles are my lifeblood treasures and were with me when I attempted the Earthmerge. As a result they ascended from the True Treasure State to the Spirit Treasure State as they gained consciousness through my understanding of the Law of Life and Death that allowed me to become an Earthmerge."

During the Earthmerge, the one undergoing the tribulation had to comprehend a law of the world. Whether it be the Law of Fire, Law of Water, Law of Swords, or in the case of The Ancestor, the Law of Life and Death.

Most experts had lifeblood treasures. The Ancestor was a low figure when he began cultivating so he binded with the common Silver Needle Set. But over the years he refined these needles with countless treasures from the Mortal Treasure State through the Ten-Steps Treasure States through the True Treasure State and finally gained consciousness during the Earthmerge to enter the Spirit Treasure State.

Jong In-Su quickly shook his head "Master, these needles have been with you for such a long time! You need a Spirit Treasure when you go out exploring."

The Ancestor shook his head "In the vast universe these Spirit Treasures are nothing. Also for you to carry my will you need the strength to do so. With the Spirit Treasure you are more likely to survive. Don't argue with your master."

The Ancestor unbounded from the needles and then spoke to the needles "You needles listen up. I am no longer your master. My disciple is even more talented than me so are you willing to follow him?"

The needles were actually all individual consciousnesses that were connected to each other. The needles began to float before flying around Jong In-Su. He was surprised when he heard a very soft voice enter his mind "He is sufficiently talented. We are willing to follow our new master!"

Jong In-Su followed Ancestor Ki-Nam's instructions in both how to bind treasures as well as how to reforge the Bloodveins inside the Treasures to truly make these treasures his Lifeblood Treasures. He then created a Lifeblood Bind with the 360 Golden Needles and a bind with the Spatial Ring.

The Ancestor then continued "I have taught you all the knowledge I possess except one that couldn't be cultivated until the Martial Adept Realm. It is the technique that allowed me to reach the Hegemon Realm." 

A painting appeared before Jong In-Su "It is called the Myriad Heaven Visualization Art!"
