Chapter 1252: New Body
Chapter 1252: New Body
Sivan really felt a tad bit anxious when he thought about it. But when he remembered the state of his body, before he gave it to Sam, he felt a little relieved.
It would take a miracle for Sam to even survive in that body for long if he fell into a dangerous situation. There was a time when he wanted Sam to survive and come back to see what he can do.
Now, he just wants him to fall into some danger and die right there along with his body.
But unlucky for him, Sam is not exactly in the most dangerous situation.
While Philip is working on the defense of the dusk organization and Sivan is getting to know the perks of what he gained with this new body and the new resources, Sam is still walking in the snow.
In this one week, Sam walked barefoot through the snow and finally made it to a mountain that looked relatively safer.
There is a small cafe at the foot of the mountain which he took as a temporary residence before he could get used to this body.
He stayed there for a night and rested before checking his new body. The first thing he did is check the meridian networks.
For cripples, the cultivation is a tad bit difficult as the meridian networks wouldn’t be complete. So, when they use a technique that is suitable for a normal person with all the limbs, they need to do some extra work to have a proper cultivation process and there is a need for some specific requirements to meet.
And one of those requirements which are also most important is the energy manipulation ability. One needs to have impeccable control over the energy to the point that they could replicate the cultivation process a bit. Just enough to simulate and modify the energy in the same way a cultivation circulation would do.
Even if they don’t have the ability to accurately replicate the process, as long as it is close enough, they would be able to go through the process and have a breakthrough.
This might limit their potential, but at least it works.
But some people will have some techniques tailor-made for the cripples and if they went through that process things would be much simpler. In this process, some of the meridian networks and nodes would be left unused.
So, Sam decided to check them to see what kind of cultivation technique the other party used and it seems like Sivan opted for the first case.
But there is something else that Sam noticed and he was stunned by that finding.
The meridian networks showed something that would alter his plans and calculations by a lot and that is the intentional destruction of cultivation.
He stopped the observation for a while and laid down on the cold stone floor so that he could rearrange his thoughts.
It seems like Sivan is not of his cultivation level from the start. He forcefully destroyed his cultivation a bit so that he would match Sam’s cultivation level.
From this observation, Sam could think of a few things and one of them is that the cultivation of both participants in the procedure should be the same.
And this is a troublesome thing.
One of the reasons that Sam decided to leave his body back without killing himself in that situation is because, he knew that Sivan would take great care of it and he also knew that Sivan would have access to more valuable cultivation resources, which would, in turn, help his cultivation grow.
Once he went back and took his body back, he would be able to have an excellent body with higher cultivation.
That is also the reason he decisively left the divine dimension to him.
For a person like Sivan who knows the true value of things and managed to survive this long in a high-level clan that is bound to have some politics, these things Sam left are way too valuable.
He is shrewd, calculating and he is smart enough to know what to do.
Sam is counting on the fact that these things would make him silent, even if he did reveal them, the beasts are far too valuable for them to use forceful measures.
Every record they have on these beasts, indicates one thing, if the beasts were to be forced, they would die and take the person with them than ever agreeing to make a contract with them.
And if something happens to the beasts, Sivan could say goodbye to his new body as the cultivation would definitely be destroyed.
So, he has to safeguard them properly. And if by any chance any exposure happened, their clan would get heat from all the rivals and they would be in deep trouble which would make things easier for Sam when he attacks them.
Now that he found out that the current body’s cultivation was forcefully destroyed, he needs to change the plans a bit.
Before he could think any further, he aligned his thoughts and continued with the inspection. He went to the spiritual core and Sam was once again surprised.
And this time the surprise was a bit pleasant.
The spiritual core that Sivan’s body has is a special one. He could now clearly understand why people got jealous and crippled him like this.
This spiritual core is one of the higher grade cores within the book that Ling Tian gave Sam. This one is on the same level as Sam’s original core and in fact, they have a lot of qualities in common.
Sam’s core has the ability to accommodate other elements with the addition of bloodline, but this one doesn’t.
But the rest of the abilities are similar.
The ability to observe and manipulate. In fact, they are a lot more powerful for this core than Sam’s own.
He clearly understood why Sivan has opted for the first method. His spiritual core’s nature allowed him to control energy to an impeccable level.
Unlike Sam who has to practice hundreds of hours, he can easily control energy and even condense it precisely into the form of a thread, and even the observation ability is way too overpowered.
Sam used the observation ability to see how different it is and he is really stunned.
If the ability of his original body can make him observe things at a molecular level, this one can let him see at an atomic level.
When used, he could even see the bonds between each atom closely.
He canceled the ability and then focused on the physical strength of the body.
Even though he is crippled and the meridians are damaged a bit, he is still strong. It seems like the other party didn’t just focus on spiritual energy cultivation. He is indeed a body cultivator and is a good one at that.
But the problem is, it seems like he only focused on the strength and flexibility of the body, he barely had any fights and from the muscle stiffness, he could guess that the other party barely had any physical activity.
The body was only toned because of the cultivation, not effort or anything else.
With two limbs absent, there is barely anything Sam could do, so first, he decided to practice the energy manipulation to see if he can make any offensive moves for himself.
Then the practice started.
The first thing he did is condense the energy into the palm of his hand into a small size.
In his first attempt, he managed to condense the energy inside the whole cave in a natural state the size of a football.
He diffused the energy and once again started condensing. As he practiced, again and again, the size of the condensed energy started lowering.
Soon, he managed to condense the energy of the cave into the size of a baseball.
He is playing with it in his hand as he leaned against the cave wall and looked outside of the entrance.
There is a dead withered tree covered in snow which he could see.
He looked at the condensed energy ball and threw it at the tree.
*BOOM*
A small explosion happened, but the ball of energy actually didn’t hit the tree. It exploded as soon as it crossed the mouth of the cave and a large pit of snow dispersed to its surroundings.
It is almost like a large pit appearing out of nowhere. Sam slowly stood up and walked forward with the support of the crutch as he looked at the pit.
The pit is not as large as he thought, but it is wide and the explosive power of the energy ball is also not small.
He can still feel the energy waves in the surroundings that are extremely chaotic.
And all of this happened with just condensed energy directly opening up and expanding to its original size.
Sam thought for a moment and went back into the cave.
He is getting tired, but he still has the recovery potions in the spatial ring, so he decided to feed on them for a while and increase his proficiency.
