--- Chapter 118 ---

A month later, Behemoth Paradise's Time

Sage Kingdom, or what people lived in it, known as the Behemoth Paradise, started to develop into a better high.

Under Baek Ain's drastic reformation, he broke apart the previous system to grade serials and make them undergo an immense yet effective training plan.

Thanks to Fan Gu's research on Gene Manipulation, Baek Ain created a new breathing technique and energy circulation method with continuous synthesis.

By Synthesizing several techniques countless times, Baek Ain reduced the errors and unproductive sequences of breathing and finalized a Dou Technique specializing in Tempering One's Body inside and outside called Star Gathering Breath.

Star Gathering Breath is outstanding for breaking one's physical limitations but needs a massive amount of medicinal intake every week or two. Thankfully, Baek Ain solved this problem by creating pills with great nutrition packs. It also promotes one's body to have minor healing factors and antibodies against the disease.

Fun fact, Baek Ain and his companions don't need such a technique because they possess Parasites that could do the same things automatically.

He could have done the same for his new subordinates, but parasites needed the care to be made and shared with others. Until Baek Ain was satisfied enough with the serials' improvement, that is.

As for the Energy Circulation Method, Baek Ain created a new one with Fan Gu's original cultivation method called the "Breaking Sky Technique." and synthesized it into the "Sacred Heaven Method." that allowed serials to open their gene locks slowly through activation of meridian points.

Since this is tailor-made for serials, only they could cultivate this Sacred Heaven Method. And it is not inferior to cultivation methods that powerful sects and ancient clans kept as their legacy.

Unfortunately, Baek Ain and his companion don't need such a technique because their Dou Qi Method(Cultivation Technique) already included the essence of breaking genes.

After all, he created these techniques to make Behemoth Paradies grow bigger and stronger. And his focus is to cultivate the Record of Burning World to the highest level possible, which means he couldn't change it midway.

Maybe in his next life, Baek Ain will perfect both techniques.

On the other hand, Behemoth Paradise's time dilation effect worked wonderfully for its people's growth. According to Eden's data, they could nurture several thousand Dou Emperor Experts, six hundred Dou Ancestor Experts, and one hundred Dou Venerate Experts in three months.

Many would question just how the Sage Kingdom possesses resources that many experts do, but the answer is pretty simple. Fan Gu has made perfect preparations for this place to grow and thrive in any condition.

Besides the Primal White Dimension, some smaller pocket dimensions are "actually." connected to Behemoth Paradise(Sage Kingdom), designed to grow resources like medicinal herbs, rare minerals, and nutritional foods.

Fan Gu made automatons to tend to these smaller pocket dimensions, which Baek Ain took control of with his inheritor's privilege. These automatons are "surprisingly." created through Array and Refining methods, so no high-end technology is involved.

In a way, this is sorcery and magecraft.

At first glance, Fan Gu might look like a horny bastard, but he really is a genuine brainiac with mastery over countless fields. Baek Ain hated to admit this, but he needed several years to catch up to Fan Gu's level.

Fan Gu is, without a doubt, a terrifying genius.

...

Behemoth Paradise, Core's Energy Zone.

In a training ground, Baek Ain faced the Beast Tribe's Elder Yao Ling with a grin. Even though he had killed a half-saint before, that was using the power of his soul.

After testing, the power of Soul Force is risky because it could damage Baek Ain and the enemy's soul. If Baek Ain used too much of it, he could suffer mentally and fall asleep for a few days.

"Deep Ground's Tail Strike." Yao Ling rushed toward Baek Ain. She has sealed her cultivation realm to 3-Star Dou Venerate Realm to make it fair for Baek Ain.

Baek Ain watched an illusionary tail descend from the sky and dodged it without using his skills. His eyes were still the normal hazel-gold, observing Yao Ling's movement.

There is a massive difference between the body of Dou Venerate and Half-Saint. Even though the difference is only one big realm, Half-Saint is still a Saint, albeit imperfect in their progress to truly obtain Sage's Body.

Baek Ain possessed powerful otherworldly physiques due to his system and lucky encounters for almost two years, becoming strong enough to fight a Half-Saint.

Well, he's lacking a bit.

Bam!

Baek Ain hardened his limbs and deflected Yao Ling's attack, moving gently like a water flow.

Yao Ling frowned and lashed her kick to counter Baek Ain's counter.

SWOOSH! BAM!

They looked at each other with an excited grin.

"Not bad, Ain." Yao Ling commented straightforwardly. "It seems our Saintess picked the right mate."

Baek Ain smirked and returned, "I have to show you more then."

Yao Ling's eyes blinked as her senses suddenly couldn't locate Baek Ain's presence. Three tiger shadows surrounded her and opened their mouths.

"Nine Serene Whirlwind."

Yao Ling rotated and did a 360 roundhouse kick, creating this turbulent wave that pushed anything upward.

Yet Baek Ain didn't expose himself.

A second felt like an hour, granting Yao Ling an extremely dynamic vision of the training field. Her slitted eyes focused and noticed a faint change in the atmosphere.

Roar!

A roar of tiger appeared and charged at Yao Ling from behind.

BAM!

She turned around and slammed her palm against the incoming tiger but found nothing.

A puff of wind blew into her face.

"Silent Trail Steps."

Baek Ain's movement speed burst in the shadows as he created several afterimages without creating much sound. Combining the Shadow Tiger Steps and Spatial Strength allows Baek Ain to reach the speed he couldn't do in the past.

Even though Shadow Tiger Steps aren't efficient for a long distance, in combat, it is invincible.

Yao Ling was overwhelmed by Baek Ain's movement technique and felt a light tap on her vital area. If Baek Ain is serious, she could have gotten killed right now.

Of course, this was nothing when her cultivation returned to normal.

Yao Ling pursed her lips, revealing a faint layer of snake scales on her fair skin. "Python's Reverse Scale." She whispered and clenched her hand.

A blinding light came out of her scales as the surrounding area exploded alongside a brown pillar of energy.

Smokes rose from the ground.

Yao Ling extended her finger and pointed at Baek Ain's neck, "Finally, this is my victory."

"An escape technique used for offensive manner? Senior sure become crafty." Baek Ain smiled at her.

"Unfortunately, out of six hundred and ninety matches. I'm still the winner."

Baek Ain's body faded and left Yao Ling speechless.

A finger coated with faint dou qi reached Yao Ling's neck as she slowly turned around, seeing the white-haired young man in disbelief.

"Y-You, how?"

"I'm pretty sure I've locked my senses on you."

Baek Ain shook his head and answered, "People who trust their instincts are good fighters, but sometimes you can't just rely on them."

"There are countless ways to fake one's presence."

"And my afterimages aren't just a shadow. They are tangible as I moved so fast before they could fade. Spatial Strength enhances this technique by a large realm, so even Spatial Sense will confuse you."

"Tsk, what a monster." Yao Ling was dissatisfied. Even if she used her full power, she wasn't confident in defeating this monstrous young man.

Baek Ain threw a water bottle to Yao Ling and asked, "How is the Tribe? Are they going to send the new members?"

Yao Ling caught the bottle and answered, "I sent the message around one week ago of the outside world's time, so they should have sent another elder to escort our tribe's talents."

"Xue Rongrong's tribe should do the same."

"By the way, where is she?"

Hearing Yao Ling's question, Baek Ain pointed at another arena.

Yao Ling tilted her head and glanced at the other arena, seeing Xue Rongrong bully Baek Ain's companions despite lowering her cultivation realm to 3-Star Dou Venerate.

Only Lan Rou and Cai Lin can compete with Xue Rongrong directly, while Yafei and Yi Xian confront her more indirectly. Xue Rongrong's mastery of aerial martial arts and dou qi is impressive, even more than Baek Ain's energy mastery.

Baek Ain finished his water bottle to quench his thirst, thinking about the current progress of Behemoth Paradise.

"It's time to fetch the fiery brat." He smiled while recalling the Fallen Heart Flame.
