Weak

"Don't worry, there's no use regretting the past. The most important thing is to deal with the matter that is in front of me."

After venting his depression, Ars slowly recovered his composure and thought of a solution to the problem that had befallen him.

"Think, what can I do in this situation?" How can I escape this seal?"

Ars squeezed all his brain cells. He really was reluctant to be sealed here forever.

"All of my abilities are unusable, my options are very limited, and it is impossible to rely on outside help. Even though I had left 'that' before I was completely sealed. It's best to wait a few days before using 'that'. If it's too hasty, I'm afraid Hagoromo and Hamura might detect 'that' presence."

The absolute silence had allowed Ars to use all of his brain capacity, and an idea appeared in his mind.

"That's right! How could I forget the Void Imperfection Physique cultivation method. The primary function of this physique is to allow the user to become stainless and untouchable by the Dao."

"Although the Dao and Ninshu systems are different, the basic concept is still the same. It's all in each world's unique power system. As long as I can cultivate the Void Imperfection Physique all the way to the Grand Completion stage, I believe the [Chibaku Tensei] won't be able to seal me."

Ars recalled the battle against Lin Fan, where his magical attacks were neutralized by the Void Imperfection Physique cultivated by the other party.

In his opinion, the reason Lin Fan was defeated by him so easily was because the other party had not yet cultivated the Void Imperfection Physique to the Minor Completion stage. Otherwise, Ars would have a much harder time dealing with Lin Fan.

"Damn it, even the [Storage Magic] was also sealed."

Ars couldn't help but curse when he wanted to take the Void Imperfection Physique scroll stored in [Storage Magic], but couldn't retrieve it.

"Forget it, I have memorized the cultivation method in my mind."

He was grateful to have read the Void Imperfection Physique cultivation method when he had some free time.

Closing his eyes, he started cultivating according to the instructions written on the scroll.

In the Emperor's Domination universe. Physique is one of the three main attributes of cultivation. Everyone is born with a Physique, Life Wheel, and Fate Palace.

Unfortunately, Ars didn't have the Life Wheel and Fate Palace. But he didn't need to worry, it seemed that the Void Imperfection Physique's cultivation method had been modified by the Invincible Martial System, so that one could cultivate without having to possess either of the above.

Physical is classified into six tiers. Namely, Mortal Physique, Houtian Physique, Xiantian Physique, Monarch Physique, Saint Physique, and Immortal Physique.

And the Void Imperfection Physique was of the Immortal Physique tier!

To cultivate Physique, there are three stages of completion. Namely, Minor Completion, Half Complete, and Grand Completion.

Ars estimated that he should at least cultivate the Void Imperfection Physique to the Half-Complete stage in order to break free from [Chibaku Tensei].

"Generally, cultivators need a lot of resources like medicine, pills, and other precious treasures to cultivate a Physique, but there's no such thing in this godforsaken place. I can only rely on my vitality (lifespan) and boundless energy as my cultivation resources."

If cultivators in the Emperor's Domination universe knew of the way Ars used to cultivate, they would consider him insane.

What he did was tantamount to suicide!

Sacrificing life essence for the advancement of Physical cultivation was self-defeating, and no one would resort to such a method.

However, Ars felt that it was the way that suited him the most. Apart from not having any resources to cultivate, he was not lacking in life essence. On the other hand, it was his only resource to be able to cultivate the Void Imperfection Physique.

About a week later, he was used to it, and his body could cultivate itself automatically even without his control.

"It is time..."

After all his preparations were in place, Ars started using 'that', which was the backup he had prepared.

...

A hand stretched out from the ground, then a black-haired youth with crimson eyes, and without wearing clothes took out his body, which was buried in the ground.

That young man was none other than Ars, or rather a clone.

"I have to get out of here soon."

Looking at the battlefield where he fought against Hagoromo and Hamura before, his naked body suddenly wore clothes, and he hurriedly left.

As he dashed away from the battlefield, he frowned as he sensed his speed.

"This is much worse than I anticipated. This clone body can only exert 30% of my main body's strength."

Ars estimates its speed is only equivalent to Mach 0.2, or at the subsonic level (faster than the eye).

After an hour of running, standing on a hill, he found a small village of only 30 houses.

"I have to analyze the limits of this clone."

He jumped onto a tree branch, then sat down and closed his eyes. After all, this was his first time using a clone, and the technique wasn't perfect as it only duplicated his main body's strength, besides it had another flaw.

Rather than the Clone Technique, it was more correct to think of this as a puppet body technique. When he uses this technique, his consciousness switches to that of the clone, and his main body fell into a trance.

Therefore, when gathering resources in [Dr. Stone] world, Ars didn't use this technique to help him. It was useless for him to make clones if in the end only one body was active.

Now his main body was in his second moon, and he was cultivating the Void Imperfection Physique.

"I see... I have become weak. With my current condition, I had to hide myself from Hagoromo and Hamura. Looks like I'll have to keep a low profile for a while."

There are some facts that Ars knows.

Firstly, this clone only had 30% of his main body's strength.

Second, these clones are not immortal. The clone's death meant the end of everything, and he had to cultivate obediently on the moon until the Void Imperfection Physique broke through to the Half-Complete stage.

Third, the energy in these clones is no longer boundless. If Ars doesn't eat to replenish his energy sources, or doesn't sleep to maintain his body's condition, then this clone will die.

Fourthly, although Ars could still use Idaten's innate talents, [Heavy Manipulation], and [Weapon Manipulation], those two abilities weren't as strong as the original.

"Haaa... The Clone Technique isn't perfect yet, but I was forced to use this kind of half-baked technique. Damn you two, Hagoromo, Hamura! Even though I only want to stay temporarily, you guys are so cruel."

Taking a deep breath, Ars cursed the two people who had caused him to be in this miserable state.

*Groooo*

Suddenly the sound of a hungry stomach that Ars had never heard of appeared.

"Ugh... Hunger, huh... I haven't felt that in a long time."

Touching his protesting stomach and asking for food. He took some bread out of [Storage Magic] and started to eat.

"At least I can still use my magic."

With a complicated mood, Ars ate while observing the villagers' clothes through [Far Sight].

His modern clothes are too eye-catching, and it's easy to attract the attention of others.

So that Hagoromo and Hamura would not find his whereabouts. Ars had to act extra carefully. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the ability to change his appearance like [Henge no Jutsu].

Without a foundation, it was difficult for him to create new abilities.

For example, in the Limitless Technique, Ars used [Teleportation] magic as the basis for creating the technique.

And the Clone Technique was deemed flawed because he lacked any ability he could use as a basis for perfecting it.

The Shinobi World has many Ninjutsu that caught Ars' attention, and that was also the reason he wanted to stay in this world even though Hagoromo and Hamura had been expelled.
