Chapter 20 Divine Physique

**********

"What do you mean?" Arthur asked in confusion.

"Well, how should I put this?... Hmm, for now, let's say that your Divine Physique is currently like a blank piece of paper, that is waiting for something to be written on it," Suo Hao said with a thoughtful expression.

"Wait, are you implying that I can just write on that piece of paper whatever I want, and then get it?" Arthur asked excitedly as he somewhat understood what Suo Hao was trying to imply.

"You got it right, but it isn't that simple. Certain conditions need to be met before you can achieve that effect."

"So I can't just create any ability I want..."

"Oh, it's not an ability you can create. Else I would not be so shocked. Rather, your physique can create Divine Physiques for you."

"Huh... Isn't that too OP?" Arthur was speechless.

"OP?"

"I meant overpowered," said Arthur.

"Oh, you are right. It is too OP," Suo Hao said, although he felt weird saying OP.

'Is that what youngsters call overpowered these days?' Suo Hao wondered.

'It seemed I still underestimated it,' Arthur thought.

"So you mean to say that, as long as certain conditions are met, I can create a Divine Physique for myself? That's my physique's ability."

"Yes, and by my inference, you might be able to create a good number of them, though I am not sure about that."

"Yes! This is awesome either way. I would just have to experiment a little and I would eventually know how this works!" Arthur couldn't help but shout in joy.

If things are like that, then he could have more than one Divine Physique!

"But that still doesn't explain the spirit power you have," Suo Hao suddenly said.

Arthur shrugged, saying nothing. He then stood up from his sitting position and asked, "So what next?"

"Now that you can cultivate, I can give you some resources that will help speed up your cultivation," Suo Hao said.

And then he threw a ring at Arthur.

"That's a spacial ring that can go invisible when bound to you. At the same time, it has a teleportation seal that you would be able to use when your cultivation is high enough. But not more than three times."

Suo Hao decided to stop asking Arthur about his soul power, as everyone has their secret. He was only curious, and getting Arthur to help his son is far more important.

Arthur grabbed the spacial ring and looked at it. He also found out that he could see the contents of the dimension in the ring contained, with his spirit power.

"You just have to bind the ring with a drop of blood and it will be yours. At the same time, you can use it with just your thoughts, unlike other spacial rings where you need spirit energy."

Arthur nodded and placed the ring in his pocket. He planned to go through the things later.

"I also added some manuals on sealing techniques if you are interested in learning them. And a teleportation plate that can only teleport you here in case you ever ran into trouble," Suo Hao said with a smile.

He can not let Arthur die, since that would be the same thing as letting his son die too.

Arthur nodded and asked, "Teleportation Runes, they have been lost since a long time ago. Do you have a way to create them?"

Suo Hao nodded, "Yes I can, I am an expert in Runes after all. And so was my entire clan, only that we specialize more in sealing runes."

Runes, the ability to draw runes and create formations was a highly sought-after one.

Those with such abilities are called Rune Masters.

Rune Masters are highly respected all over the world and have the same recognition as those on the path of Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Spirit Summoners.

All paths have their importance in the cultivation world. And those who walk these paths are valued and have a lot of prestige.

Among them, Rune Masters and Spirit Summoners are the rarest and had the harshest requirements to practice.

"With your spirit power awakened at such an early age, you have already met the requirements to practice Spirit Runes," said Suo Hao.

Arthur smiled, thinking, 'My future is looking quite promising if I must say.'

"In the spacial ring, there are instructions on getting started with runes. When you are done with that, you should be able to use the teleportation formation in the ring to come here for more."

Arthur nodded. One of the reasons he wanted to learn runes was so that he could have the ability to break the seal of the Heavenly Dao on his soul.

"You can leave now, I will teleport you to your friend. She has gotten very worried for you," Suo Hao said with a smile.

"Helia, that's right... Oh, she must be worried sick. I'll make it up to her when we leave," Arthur said, knowing that with how much that girl cares for him, she was probably dying of guilt or making assumptions.

"Wait, I just remembered. There are a few people who are trying to break into this place. What would you do about them?" Arthur asked as he recalled he wasn't the only one that wanted to come here.

"Oh them? I have already taken care of that."

"How?"

"I just erased their memory of this place and transported them away to somewhere closer to the nearby city. All except your friend of course."

"You can do that?" Arthur was surprised at such ability.

'I have to get powerful too,' he said in his heart.

"Yes, I can. They are all weaklings after all. Now you have to get going, as your friend is already on the verge of a breakdown, Arthur."

"Wait I never told you... Oh, you must have been watching."

Arthur wanted to ask to be teleported out, but he blinked and found himself in the forest where he entered the hole with Helia.

"Arthur!"

A voice said as a figure dived into Arthur's arms.

"Sorry, Helia. I know you must have been worried," Arthur said as he patted Helia's head softly.

Sobbing with tears in her eyes Helia said, "I... I thought something happened to you... I was afraid...I..."

"It's okay. I am here and looking okay, am I not? Sorry for making you cry."

"Whose crying, I just had something in my eyes," Helia said as she let go of Arthur and turned her head away.

"Hmph! I am not talking to you till we get back!" She said.

"But it's not like I am at fault here..."

"You are, you troll!"

"I wasn't trolling this time. I swear it!" Arthur said with a wry smile.

It seemed that he had trolled her too much in this life.
