Chapter 1771 Personalized Path to Progress
?Practicing a customized Tantra offered numerous advantages:
Firstly, it reduced obstacles in the Practitioners' Paths, enabling quicker progress compared to their peers. The impact of this progress would gradually increase the longer one kept practicing their personalized Tantra.
Secondly, a personalized Tantra enhanced the chances of breaking through Rank barriers, allowing practitioners to exceed their inherent limits. For instance, someone who could only become a Grandmaster with their talent might have discovered the potential to become a Sage with access to a personalized Tantra.
Thirdly, the tailored Tantra empowered Practitioners to excel in their strengths while addressing weaknesses and maintaining a balanced approach to their Paths. This prevented deviations in their journeys and mitigated additional consequences.
For example, a Practitioner weak in Spiritual Force could focus on maximizing it while enhancing their natural talents. On the other hand, someone with a weak constitution would take a different approach and still obtain similar benefits.
Lastly, a personalized Tantra granted independence from any single organization. It established a robust foundation that wasn't reliant on external factors. Diligent practice ensured a continual pathway for progression in their respective Paths.
For example, a Grandmaster with a personalized Tantra didn't need to rely on their organization for an S-Rank Tantra after reaching Sage status. They could modify existing Tantras over time or instantly with the Mesh's assistance, albeit at a cost.
However, not everyone could afford to use the Mesh to do this job for themselves. Not everyone had access to Origin Force points after all. And paying through Menaka's Runes was almost impossible for an average Practitioner no matter how hard they tried.
Usually, the Practitioners would choose the Tantra that they thought best suited them and their respective Paths. They would then customize the Tantra on their own as they progressed further in their respective Paths.
Not to mention, the continuous requirement to concoct personalized potions and create Yantra demanded significant time, effort, and resources from the practitioner.

"Hmm, despite its complexities, I've finally secured a suitable Tantra for myself," Eren mused, closing the additional Spectral Screens and Notifications as he reflected on his progress.
"Plus, aligning with a neutral organization that wields influence across a significant portion of Labh Salem will surely work in my favor. I can use the Corps and its resources until Hvergelmir Springs surfaces. I can use its channels to travel almost anywhere I want.
Utilizing the intelligence gathered by Demon Slayers throughout Labh Salem will also play to my advantage, allowing me to strategize accordingly. I can also ask other Demon Slayers to help me in case any emergency arrives. Plus, I can keep on refining the demons for their Faustian rune fragments as a bonafide Demon Slayer.
I can bet Argo's right nut that the Immortals who oppose me will likely intensify their efforts to find me in the coming years. They have probably started already.
The Immortals who are friendly to me have no way to contact me.
I could probably ask Goddess Great Mother for help with the thing she gave me in advance. But this is not the best time to ask her. In the worst-case scenario, I might get detected by enemies the moment I try to contact her.
On the other hand, those who want to play neutral would not help me. They would rather watch as mute spectators as the game of cat and mouse is played in front of them.
Though I haven't seen it yet with my own eyes, a wildfire has already been lit around me. A trap that will only progress inwards so that it can finally catch me.
If... If only I had a few people to count on—"
