Chapter 320 - needle technique

Showcasing his sword technique and instantly felt his body grow heavy by trying to perform the technique. It was an extremely powerful technique that allowed his purest essence to be gathered then condensed in one point. 

This included the accumulated blade technique and its three aspects; Soul, body, and energy. It made it difficult to concentrate without the three aspects.

He only had one and it was a frail mortal body that was unable to bring out a 1% of his Myriad Blade Style.  

Regardless, it was a profound skill and represents the origin of blade techniques. This is the same as his Firmament Paragon Art but represents the Origin of all Unarmed Martial Art Techniques.

He took the movement to let his muscles and tendons to before turning his head towards the two Grandmasters.

"Any critiques?"

The two of them deeply thought they had never seen a near-perfect execution of piercing technique that penetrates a two-meter thick metal door. 

It was simply too unrealistic to perform by anyone yielding the power of an endless weapon that can manifest. 

Caelum's first-ever skill in fighting that he created was the Breath of Hell that induced as much suffering to an opponent but he changed his weapon style that is preferably focused on control and precision.

Naturally, it was assisted by the system that took him a while to create but now he had grown and slowly nurtured a new generation of his Blade style. 

Generally, he is still capable of using the breathing technique even now that he's in constant control. 

In other words, Caelum's strongest suit in fighting style was the Blade and only a genius would be able to create the Breathing technique that surpasses the Sun's breathing.

'Perhaps it's best to start with basic breathing techniques and blade style. I might be able to make a revised version of Limbo.'

He lost his thoughts waiting for the two grandmasters to recall the 1st form from Breath of Hell. It was a technique that does not create severe injuries rather inflicts pain as much as possible. 

This form focuses on speed and precision instead of concentrated power like his Singularity technique. 

Caelum gazes intently at the weapon before nodding to himself, deciding to recreate his Breath of Hell and revise it. He understood the importance of returning to the basics to see the flaws of the advance. 

"I don't have much to say, you surpass me in wielding a weapon. A would love to see you complete both your weapon mastery and Martial art."

"Thank you, I will try to do my best."

Caelum is gaining realization left and right as if by stepping back you would be able to see the bigger picture. He returned the weapon and was about to head home when Doppo stopped him.

"Wait kid, Tokugawa had called and he said that the things about his medicine had been gathered. I'll bring you there."

"Is that so? Then let's go. It would ruin the herbs if we wait for too long."

The two quickly headed their way to Tokugawa residence leaving Motobe who headed to his own business to attend. Along the way, Caelum gave his phone number to Doppo by chance he'll ever want to call him. 

After exchanging numbers, Caelum was taken into an old traditional Japanese wooden gate then headed inside with Doppo. They were led by a young bodyguard who was curious to see the young man who had been told by Tokugawa to be a formidable warrior. 

Their gaze met that flinched looking at him and instantly felt as though boundless darkness swallowed him. He was not a monster nor a demon, the young man represented the purest of everything which was nothing, the Void. 

"Is Tokugawa-Dono here?"

Hearing the voice of Doppo made him escape the hell that was before him. Caelum is bored and scares him a bit but realizes how the essence of his intent had grown significantly. 

"Y-Yes, come follow me."

The young bodyguard turned his head relief to escape that boundless darkness. It didn't take him a while to see Tokugawa at a Koi pond feeding them.

"Tokugawa-Sama, you have guests."

"Hmm? Oh, Young man, it's you!? Good, I have everything you wanted me to buy for you."

Tokugawa excitedly got closer, discerning that he had won something akin to a lottery. Caelum was unsure but his instincts and divination tell him that Tokugawa is connected to the heartbeat that kept growing.

Despite losing his most useful ability, the Omniscience is still capable of discerning the future with other methods. Though it may not be as potent, it is still able to guide him on a desirable path.

'The most likely reason is that they are cloning him and planning to summon his soul then transfer it to the clone.'

The Spirit and third eye such as the young girl Miko was an indication that it's possible for summoning the spirit of the dead to the living world. 

He kept it to himself and planned to visit this place once Tokugawa succeeded in reviving Miyamoto Musashi. 

"It's quite difficult to find some of them but we managed to gather all of them. Hope you succeed in whatever methods you're going to use."

It didn't take much time for them to arrive at the center of the room where a wide variety of herbs and materials ranging from Siberian tiger's hearts and needles made out of mercury.  

He went closer, finding a few jaded stones and a cauldron. It was not for Tokugawa rather only for Caelum himself as his dire need of these things. 

The only thing he needed was the needle itself. He used him to be his errand boy to gather the things in creating body strengthening baths using the herbs.  

"Great, to be honest, the only thing I need is this needle and the rest is for myself. I only did it so you would believe me."

Tokugawa was slightly surprised but understood as it was true that even without the added items then he would never trust his words. However, now he did mind and the ways he spoke knew he would be able to heal him.

"I don't mind but are you planning to heal with acupuncture?"

"Yes, I acquired this method when I was still training."

He inspected the needle before nodding, gesturing for Tokugawa to get closer and sat down.

"Remove the upper part of your yukata. I'll need you to expose your back for me."

Tokugawa did as instructed while Caelum slowly scanned his body to see the damages and how it would be healed. He found a few cancerous tumors and a failing liver with the other being due to his age.  

Meanwhile, Doppo observed him to see what kind of miracle he was going to pull off. He saw the young man take one of the needles then poke it into the old man's body, perplexed when he was able to see the flow of Tokugawa's body grow significantly from the first needle. 

Doppo are able to discern it by intently looking at the air around a person and after meeting countless opponents knew how to see person strength and Tokugawa had an explosive growth that slowly died down yet it was far better than before. 

To describe what was seeing then it was nothing more than a miracle as Tokugawa seemed younger and gaining his vitality back. 

Tokugawa could feel the flow of his blood and air in his lungs, finding himself a sense of euphoria after a long time. 

"Tokugawa, once I insert this last needle, you feel unbearable pain but likely pass out. After this, your body would naturally heal itself."

He nodded as Caelum slowly pierced the last point that connected to the other needles letting the flow of blood and his body to spat the damages in a form of impurities causing the old man to puke mouthful of blood and mucus along with the cancer itself.

Doppo's remaining eyes widen seeing the blood and mucus on the floor before seeing the rapid healing for Tokugawa appearing 30 years younger than before. 

Caelum finished carrying the Old man where the bodyguard helped him send him to his room to rest while Caelum took the things that Tokugawa gathered for him.

He decided to stay in the residence to ensure that he was fully healed while Doppo finally took the opportunity to ask him the technique he just used.

"That acupuncture you did. Where did you learn it?"

"It's an ancient technique that I've found. Call it luck but anyway I can't tell the name of the technique."

Doppo respected his decision and said his farewells leaving Caelum to do his business while the latter frowned at the result of healing Tokugawa.

'It's difficult using the Primal Chaotic Divine Needle Technique without its key components.'
