Chapter 410: Training Plans
“Oh? You’re finally out?”
Raven heard Albert say this as soon as he exited the Sect Treasury. Raven smiled and nodded. He then replied: “Sorry to keep you waiting. I got good harvest though.”
“How many items did you manage to get?” Albert asked as they walked away from the place.
“Only two.” Raven replied, “An auxiliary treasure and a pair of gloves.”
“What? You should’ve taken more! I remember telling you that you’re only permitted inside once right?”
‘Should I tell him?’ Raven pondered inwardly for a bit before rejecting the thought. ‘Forget it, let it be a surprise then.’
“It’s fine. I’m rather satisfied with only two.” Raven replied modestly. “Plus, if I did that then the disciples of your sect might resent me. After all, I’m just an outsider. Forget about taking treasures from you, just merely staying inside this place is already treating me excessively.”
“If that truly happens then we could just directly expel them.” Albert replied domineeringly, “We have too many disciples and many more who wanted to join our sect, it would be a blessing for the sect of we get rid of those narrow-minded fools. You shouldn’t worry about that, sigh.”
Raven laughed and said: “I appreciate it. But like I said, this is already enough for me.”
‘I wonder how would this father and son react if they knew that I have taken something from the top floor of their treasury?’ Raven couldn’t help but to ask himself.
His harvest truly wasn’t bad this time around. He managed to get the Soul Attunement Praying Mat from the fourth floor and the Crimson Dragon Emperor’s Gloves on the fifth floor. If any of the disciples knew about this, their eyes would probably turn red from jealousy and envy.
It had to known that everyone in the sect greatly coveted the treasures from the 3rd floor of the treasury and up. Sadly, the spiritual pressure they have too endure was far too fierce that majority of them weren’t able to even ascend to these floors.
This is why, in order to prevent headaches for himself, Raven decided to keep this matter as a secret for now.
Raven and Albert chatted for a bit. Albert, out of respect, didn’t ask Raven to take out the treasures he got which was greatly appreciated by the latter.
Later on, Raven then began his preparations to seclude himself in order to prepare for the recruitment.
Raul was generous enough to have some build a private room for Raven. Additionally, this room is also located near the Heaven-grade Spiritual Vein which would definitely allow Raven’s cultivation speed skyrocket.
The room was simple. It was made out of Profound Obsidian Stones, which boasts incredible toughness. Within here, even Knight Kings could only dream about disturbing Raven. The interior of the room was simple. All he had is a set of wooden table and chairs, a stone bed and a pillow. The room also has an array that could filter and siphon energies from the outside, greatly helping Raven with his training. There is also a separate space inside the room, created solely to test out skills and battle arts.
After entering the room, Raven sat by the stone bed and began to plan out his next actions.
“I’ve basically retrained myself with the basics of Palm and Fist Techniques during my free time back in the lower realms. I’ve thoroughly mastered the basics and started transition from Simplicity to Complexity. Even my Hammer Intent before had also transformed into a Fist Intent, but its still too hollow – this needs work.”
Raven could’ve easily mastered the many types of fist techniques if he wanted to, but he insisted to train to re-attune with basics of fist techniques, making sure to build and steady and solid foundation on his skills. Right now, a simple fist strike from him could directly punch a hole on a mountain. If he gave it his all, he could shatter a mountain with a single palm strike.
If the Archaic Thousand Armed Wheel was aiding him, he could flatten dozens of mountains all at once. So far, his control of this Growth Type Treasure of his could allow him to manifest a hundred Golden Arms all at once. This is enough to overwhelm most of his enemies but Raven’s goal is to control all one thousand arms.
Now that he thoroughly grasped the profundity of the basics, Raven could now begin learning some fist techniques or gain inspiration from them. Right now, he created one move that simply converges every insight he gained into a single palm. He calls this move: ‘Heaven Suppression Palm’.
So far, the Heaven Suppression Palm is his most strongest attack. During his sparring with the Demonic Servants, he used this technique in tandem with all three of his laws and caused mayhem against their ranks.
Albert himself admitted that he might not be able to defend against this palm of his, and this is coming from a Knight Saint with an Immortal Champion Physique. Additionally, this is also during the time when Raven still didn’t have the Crimson Dragon Emperor’s Gloves. Now that he has it, then the strength of his techniques will be boosted greatly.
“I’ve also managed to gain profound insights on the mysterious momentum that I’ve been using before. I could now gather this momentum but its quite hard.”
This mysterious momentum is something that Raven accidentally grasped back in the lower realms. Once he tapped on this source, it allows his attacks to turn more explosive and domineering. He often uses this along with his Destruction Laws, causing his power to easily topple mountains and seas.
Due to the mysterious feeling it gives him, for now Raven labelled this as ‘Wavefolding Insight’ – cause whenever he uses it, his power surges forth like a devastating tsunami.
“I also think that Leg Techniques would be useful for me. But techniques like that are hard to come by. I’ve encountered many palm and fist techniques in my previous life but for leg techniques? The amount wouldn’t even exceed ten. Still, even though its a bit risky, I should practice some, just in case someone had a way to deal with my numerous hands.”
This couldn’t be helped, Leg Techniques which could be used offensively are just too rare. Most of the leg techniques are considered as Movement Techniques not offensive techniques but Raven had little to no use for any Movement Techniques. If anything, he’ll just use them as a reference, there’s no need for him to train it since he’s got his Space and Time Laws.
Even back when Raven was still on the lower realms, he could already use ‘Lesser Teleportation’, and with this no one could even dream of getting close to him. The distance of the Lesser Teleportation became even more greater now that he experienced Space Laws Baptism. This technique could allow him to travel 10,000 miles in a blink of an eye currently. Once his expertise on Space Laws deepens? Then he’ll be able to use ‘Greater Teleportation’, allowing him to cross one plane to another in just a blink of an eye.
With this alone, is there really an need for him to learn movement techniques. If anything, he only need to fear those who could lock down space.
“Destruction, Space and Time. None of the Laws I have are easy to understand. Still, I have gain as many insights as I could. It would even be better if I could start fusing one concept after another but I don’t think I have the time for that…”
“Overall, the current me could probably fight evenly against Champion Knights with Golden or Platinum Physiques. Anyone beyond that might be problematic. Then again, this only works on those ordinary Knights. The one’s joining the recruitment would probably be geniuses who had a more solid foundations and also those with huge backgrounds. I don’t have any idea how I would fare against them. The Divine Realm is just too vast, I might be impressive for some but to those who are standing at a top, I wouldn’t amount to nothing in their eyes.”
“In terms of background, I’m inferior. In terms of wealth, I’m also inferior. In terms of talent, if it weren’t for the fact that I experienced Soul Rebirth, I wouldn’t even dare to think about competing with them. My starting point is just too low. Damn, if only I have more time…”
As Raven began lamenting on his fate, flash of inspiration struck him, causing him to widen his eyes in realization.
“Wait!” Raven’s eyes flashed. “That’s right! Time! How could I forget about this!”
He laughed and said: “Now that I could somehow control time, adjusting its flow shouldn’t be too hard for me! With the help of Formations, I could simply adjust the time around me!”
“Although the laws of the Divine Realm are quite different and more firm compared to the lower realms, I bet I could still adjust the time with a 5:1! That’s plenty! I could achieve many things within that time frame!”
“I better ask Uncle for some materials!”
