Use Of Weak Physiques?

The Golden Aura once again flowed back into Dantes body and spread out through the golden ropes connecting him to his puppets.

All over the continent and the planes a variety of changes were taking place in the puppets. Many mortal puppets were promoted to actual cultivators or had their physiques increased.

Even unborn babies had their potential increase before they were even born!

As for Dante himself, he felt something snap as his Main Cultivation Base successfully broke through to the Ninth stage.

Dante even felt that he could break into the Spirit State within the next year. This is already an incredible record. It made Dante fully understand the horror of a Rank 1 Physique.

It also made Dante understand why all those with a Rank 1 Physique were hunted down before they could grow up.

Even if only one appears in each era they are a massive threat to everyone on the continent. Especially now that Dante learnt about the benefits of hunting Antiques planes.

You might think that the benefits of a high ranking Physique will lessen once you become an Antique. After all, you begin to rely on subordinates rather than force.

However that is far from being the case. Your Physique not only allows you to create a larger plane when you first promote to Antique, but it also allows your plane to have a special aura related to your Physique.

However the Ranking of your Physique also affects how abundant the energy is on your Plane. So in a way it affects the future cultivation of your subordinates on the plane.

Take the Ghost Physique as an example, if you manage to form a plane then any ghosts cultivating within it will receive a minimum of a 2x boost to cultivation speed. Not only this, it increases the chances of children being born with a Ghost Related Physique.

Moreover there is a high chance for Holy Places related to Ghosts to be formed.

As for what forms them? The Antique who owned the world tree clearly wasn't qualified for that intelligence.

Dante speculated that only a True God would be qualified to know. But after knowing this it also allowed Dante to focus on finding unique physiques. Eventually Dante should be earning enough energy to slowly cultivate an Antique no matter what Rank their Physique is.

And once they became an Antique, Dante could connect their Plane to his World Tree.

So Dante paid special attention to finding Physiques that are special and useful no matter what Rank they are. After all don't think that the Rank determines their usefulness when it comes to special abilities.

There are many special Physiques of a lower level. An example of this is the Cotton Physique. Typically it would be a Rank 8 Physique and it has the special ability to stop attacks like… well like they are hitting cotton.

Of course it only works against attacks at a lower level or equal level, but nonetheless it is a powerful ability. However it wasn't specifically what Dante was looking for. He wanted physiques that would be useful in an entire Plane.

One of which is the Green Physique, which is a rare Rank 7 Physique. This physique gives the holder a special affinity with nature. This means plants will be more likely to grow in the plane and the growth cycle of medicine would be sped up as well as their efficacy.

But Dante also knew about the unique buildings that can form on their Planes. According to the Antiques records there was previously an Antique who had cultivated with a mediocre Rank 7 Physique.

And when he formed his Plane he received a rare shrine which could create warriors out of whatever spiritual medicine that was placed there. The stronger the spiritual medicine, the stronger the warrior.

Unfortunately the Antique could only create those below the Saint Realm. After all, a Saint and an Antique would struggle to follow the lead of another Antique unless necessary.

Even if the Saint did decide to follow the Antique summoner under pressure, there is no guarantee that as soon as you release them they won't run. Or Won't fulfil their tasks to the full extent.

But naturally as a low Ranking Physique there are massive difficulties as well. Not to mention how difficult it is to grow high ranking herbs with limited abundance of aura, even a saint cultivator trying to cultivate within the plane could absorb all the energy.

So to make up for that flaw they would need to spend a massive amount of time and resources finding objects that increase aura intensity.

Naturally Dantes hunt was long and tedious and still ongoing. Although Dante had successfully captured a lot of rare physiques he was yet to reach the Antique realm, let alone having enough energy to cultivate a puppet to that realm.

If we were to use an estimate it would take enough energy for 100 fairy states to cultivate a Spirit State cultivator, 100,000 for an ancient, 10,000,000 for a saint and about a billion for an Antique.

And that is with a Physique higher than Rank 3. As for those with a Physique lower than that it would take many times more.

And where possible Dante doesn't want to forcibly improve high ranking physiques as they lack the experience in cultivating.

It's different for Dante, after all he has two cultivation bases and the technique allows him to not worry about his foundation. But when using it on the puppets it would take many years and a lot of luck to adapt fully to their strength.

After all, if you suddenly get a machine gun even if you are able to use it you would be far from the efficiency of a trained soldier. So there is no value in using it with high level physiques when he can just use it on another cultivator and let the others grow up naturally.

And this Golden Aura is different. As it goes into the cultivator it raises their level, while also filling up their foundation. Although they can't immediately adapt to their strength, after a couple of days or months they would easily be able to handle it.
