BXBX NOVEL Chapter 311 - 'Cultivation Practice'
{The demons have somehow managed to get a tool of some sort that allows them to manipulate Space elements, allowing a few of those hidden in the spaces to slip out at a certain point in time…}
As the mental message inside the package played out, I took full notice of what this ancient powerhouse had to say, expectedly enough, the voice was completely different this time, having a much younger tone when compared to the voice that was attached with the \'Icy Fire Formula\'...
{This obviously means that needing a traitor to help them out wasn\'t necessary for a small number of demons to leave, which in reverse means that they could easily recruit more humans to their sides, thus making it easy for them to break out of their bases later quite easily, it simply means that our measures which we expected to stay foolproof when we were establishing the trials and tests are now only useable as a way to delay the inevitable.}
{If you didn\'t get to this gate too late, and if the domain didn\'t already fall in the hands of the demons, then I implore you young hero, if you plan to persist on the path of demon hunting, slaying, cleansing and suppression, you have to make haste and stay vigilant all the time, for it wouldn\'t be weird if you find that your old neighbour is actually one of the demons\' recruits…}
Hearing this unknown old powerhouse\'s report, I was a bit perplexed at the news that weren\'t really \'news\' to me, after all, I did already know that several demons slipped out from their bases even before I came to the Nature Domain.
However, the report opener was the main point that I didn\'t really have much knowledge about, until now, I only knew that demons have infiltrated the domains even before their bases were opened without knowing the method used to achieve that…
If what was mentioned was really the truth, which is quite likely, then the demons must have really found a way to gain mastery over Space elements even if it was for a limited time frame, meaning that other than just leaving the suppressed bases through the gaps, they might actually have other tricks to play when the time is right...
{I believe that you all be able to make the right choices when the time comes, now without further ado, your reward, a part of my legacy and also what I wish it would be a tool to help you on your quest will be unlocked!}
\'Cultivation Practice\'!
As I was still digesting the information transmitted by the Ancient powerhouse, these two bolded words surfaced in my mind as a long stream of words followed them…
\'This is…\'
Checking the mental manual that seemed to have a very generic name that would be often mentioned is most wuxia and xianxia novels, I was actually surprised to see that it\'s content was totally different than I expected!
It wasn\'t a manual that had the legendary practices of cultivating mythical Qi or practicing the body, it actually had contents that matched the original meaning of \'Cultivation\', simply said, it was a plant book!
Of course, it wasn\'t a gardening or farming book of some sort, but it had a deep rooted relation to plants.
The first part I had in mind about its nature was actually true, as it was really a water and earth linked elemental art, which similarly also worked if you only had one of the two elements to stimulate the other, just like the \'Icy Fire Formula\', but what surprised me was…
\'Another third element in the middle…?\'
Not only did it share the shell of a dual element elemental art but it also shared the core of it actually causing the stimulation of a third element!
This naturally meant that last time\'s dual Water & Ice awakening wasn\'t just a stroke of luck, but it was related to the nature of the legacies left by these Ancient powerhouses.
Other than the difference of the elements themselves the most apparent difference between both elemental arts was that \'Cultivation Practice\' actually mentioned the third element\'s involvement within the script of the elemental art as it was surprisingly the core of the art itself, unlike the water element which was a subtle improvement that came attached to the \'Icy Fire Formula\'...
As for the core element of \'Cultivation Practice\' that wouldn\'t be truly awakened as a complete element, it was just like I mentioned just now, a \'Cultivation\' element… something that could be described as the element of Vegetation if I were to be more accurate.
It\'s principle wasn\'t really that complicated, it just used both the water element and the earth element to stimulate the act of \'Cultivation\', nurturing seed in the earthly soil, and watering it with the water element particles, which I assume that it would give birth to a creation similar to the plants that I had to run from in the \'Trial of Vegetation\'!
Once again, much like how the \'Trial of Ice & Fire\' had a close connected with the \'Icy Fire Formula\', the connection between the \'Trial of Vegetation\' and the \'Cultivation Practice\' manual were also closely connected, it seemed that other than the initial test that takes place before the trial, like the \'Minotaur Siege\' or the item set collection test, the trials\'s system were almost the same, even have great similarities when it came to the rewards that are given at the end.
The system of legacies left behind by the Ancient powerhouses seemed to have been specially organized that way, just like how the mental package had special triggers that seemed to work according to the receiver\'s experience, which is why I received the message designed for those who cleared a trial before. Who knew? It might still have been the case if my clearing order was reversed, as it was likely that I would have received a different message after clearing the \'Trial of Ice & Fire\'...
