Crystal In The Forest

Naturally they weren't yet qualified to fight in the battle, but naturally they were members of the family competing in the war, even leading it.

The families are ranked based on their strongest members, the Armstrong family is qualified to be an antique family which naturally means that they still have antiques alive.

As the current heir of the family, Dante will naturally be piled high with ancient medicines and countless pills, but none of this could allow him to cultivate into a fairy so quickly. The gap between a core building cultivator and the fairy state is huge.

If a core building cultivator was just an incredibly powerful warrior reaching the peak of their race, then the fairy state is like stepping into a completely new race. A fairy. A single swipe of a fairies hand could easily deal with hundreds of ordinary core building cultivators.

Dante stretched out his body and stood up. He slowly exited the small hut he was sitting in and headed out into the forbidden land. The only reason it was classed as a forbidden land in the Armstrong Family is because of the ancient beast that lives here.

The beast was a legend in the continent. A mighty dragon. Rumour has it that the ancestor of the Armstrong family was the only one who was ever able to tame a dragon. Now the dragon lives hidden in the private world of the family.

Every year the heir of the family will have one chance to travel through the forbidden forest to access countless rare resources. But the main chance here is the herbs that are bathed in dragon's blood.

It is said that the dragon once fought with the ancestor of another antique family. The battle lasted for hundreds of years and killed countless innocent bystanders, but the dragon finally executed the ancestor of the family causing it to drop to a saint family.

Even if the dragon finally won, the wounds it received were numerous. In order to heal it flew into the current forest. The blood falling from its wounds mutated countless plants giving them the bonus of an antique level dragon.

These were the targets of Dantes hunt. Naturally he achieved his goal and broke through the fairy state. However the main contributor to his success was his physique.

Each child born into this continent will have a physique provided to them at birth. This is the foundation to their cultivation.

The ranking of the physique is simple, from 1 to 9 with 1 being the best and 9 being the worst. The higher your physique the higher your speed of absorbing spiritual energy. Not only that, each physique can provide countless benefits to the cultivator.

This ranges from special affinities with certain skills or elements, all the way to unique magic and even the ability to leapfrog between levels.

Dantes physique however is unique, he was born with a rank 1 physique. The only recorded rank 1 physique in history, even his ancestors who led the team in the battle of the ancients were only a rank 2 physique.

His physique was named the Heavenly Disaster Physique. It entails countless benefits with unrivaled affinity with all elements in the continent and an inheritance unique to Dante.

It was this physique and these countless cultivation techniques inherited that allowed him to cultivate to his current state.

However the family has never revealed Dantes Physique to the public . For the single reason that anyone born with a Rank 1 physique will be hunted by all other factions out of fear that when they grow up they will unify the continent.

And while the Armstrong Family is unrivaled in the continent, they don't want to face the offensive of every strongman in the continent.

However, as if to predict this situation, Dante was born with multiple physiques. He also carries the Rank 2 Physique, Chaos Eyes. By manipulating Chaos energy, Dante can see through all things in the world including the physiques of those weaker than him.

Currently Mark has finished his expedition into the forbidden land. But as he was walking away a small crystal sitting under a tree caught his eye.

''What is that?'' Dante cautiously urged his Chaos Eyes to take no risks in this forest. According to the reminders of his father, the current patriarch, there was even saint level monsters roaming around who have developed under the influence of the dragon's blood.

''Arghhh'' Dante didn't have time to even look at it before he felt a searing in his eyes. Blood fell down his slightly chubby face out of his eyes.

This is the first time Dante had even had this kind of backlash when using his ability, keep in mind as the heir of a peak family what treasures hasn't he seen? But even if he can't see through some, at worst he only feels faint stinging in his eyes and can only see some mist.

But right now he couldn't even glance at the object before this happened.

Feeling the situation of his body, Dante not only didn't feel fear but was even excited. Something that can cause his body to react like this would definitely not be ordinary.

As he was cultivated to be the heir of the family from birth, Dante had an extremely mature mind compared to his peers. With the addition of his cultivation constantly increasing, his wisdom was already compared to an adult, he could easily think through the pros and cons of a situation.

Steadying his footsteps, Dante moved his tiny legs towards the strange crystal and reached out his chubby hand.
