Path of Absolute Transcendence

The consequences are losing one\'s sanity, a sudden mutation on a certain part of the body, or the body might collapse entirely.

Kai\'s transcendent foundational ability was Self Sovereignty. With this ability, everything inside Kai\'s body completely belongs to himself.

Only by using this ability did Kai remove the poison that Anna used on him. At the start, due to a severe injury, he wasn\'t in the right condition to use it.

But after getting a little better, he used Self Sovereignty to remove the poison.

\'Now, it\'s time for the second test.\'

Kai took a drop of blood from each and fused them using his Will Power. The blood drops began merging and didn\'t resist each other, but after a few moments, Kai\'s blood collapsed.

\'Somethings always won\'t go as expected.\'

Kai already figured out the reason for the incident. His bloodline or his body wasn\'t strong enough to accept higher-tier blood.

The Dark Dragon is a peak Tier 4 realm beast. Its strength is equal to that of a Saint Emperor realm cultivator, and Kai\'s body isn\'t strong enough to withstand the power contained in it.

\'Now, it is a serious problem. I need to extract the excess energy from the bloodline and only leave enough for me to acquire a bloodline ability.\'

Kai also thought of a solution. But he didn\'t have a means to extract power.

\'Although I could use that method, doing it here may be impossible.\'

There is only one way left for Kai to learn formation. He acquired knowledge about formation in the scripture pavilion.

He didn\'t have enough time to practice, so he put that aside. But Kai needs to extract the excess energy from the dragon\'s blood using a formation.

He isn\'t capable of extracting it by himself and doesn\'t have the assistance of any treasures to help. The only viable is formation, and he knows the basics of it.

\'I should have spent some time learning these paths before cultivation.\'

Kai regretted not learning about such things during his childhood. He spent most of his time training and reading books.

But most of those books only talk about common sense and don\'t provide him with any useful information.

If he spent his time on either formation or alchemy, he would have had an easier time learning now.

\'With my learning talent, I shouldn\'t take a long time.\' Kai encouraged himself.

Formations are intricate arrays that harness the natural energies of the world. They are the embodiment of the universe\'s hidden laws, a tangible manifestation of the profound principles that govern all existence. To the untrained eye, formations may appear as mere symbols or patterns on the ground, but to a cultivator, they represent the pinnacle of strategic prowess and control.

These arrays necessitate meticulous arrangement of symbols and a balanced interplay among various elements to initiate and maintain their operation. Far from being mere static barriers, formations are dynamic systems, capable of adapting to diverse scenarios and exhibiting formidable power when expertly wielded.

The formations are classified according to their uses. They are,

Killing formation,

Defensive formation,

Illusion formation,

Auxiliary formation,

Transportation formation.

Kai already used all the formations, except the killing formation and the defensive formation.

The illusion type formation was used for his trial, and an auxiliary type formation called the spirit gathering formation was used to awaken his innate talent.

He used teleportation formation, which was a type of transportation, to travel into the secret realm.

The defense formation was used during the war with Slaughter Palace by the Nine Star Sect.

Kai needs to use an auxiliary formation to successfully obtain his bloodline ability.

Kai checked his memory and summarized everything he learned about the formation.

He needs to draw formation lines to harness the energy of his surroundings. These lines are the foundation of formation; they maintain stability and control the flow of energy.

The formation lines must be drawn by a single cultivator. Getting help from others to draw a formation line will not help, since the formation won\'t work unless it is drawn by a single cultivator.

Kai sat on the ground and began to draw lines for the spirit-gathering formation. It was a Tier 1 formation without much complexity.

Kai took three hours to draw the entire formation, and after that, he took a spirit stone and placed it at the center.

A formation needs a source to operate or function. It is called a formation eye. Most of the formations use spirit stones as their eyes, but some special formations use special treasures.

The spirit stones that he used as a formation eye were obtained from Yang Wudi\'s storage ring. He only had ten thousand peak-grade spirit stones, so he saved them for any emergency, but now he had to use them.

\'Fuc*! I\'m wasting a peak-grade spirit stone for such a basic formation.\' Kai cursed his situation.

A peak-grade spirit stone can be used for a Tier 3 formation, but he wasted that for his practice.

Enduring the discomfort, Kai activated the formation, which failed successfully.

\'Ahhh! I wasted a peak-grade spirit stone.\' Kai screamed in agony.

The formation eye is a single-use item. It will crumble whether the formation is activated successfully or not. So, Kai has now wasted ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Kai again drew a formation line, but this time he drew with more precision.

He didn\'t care about time and drew every line more accurately without any errors.

After five hours, Kai completed the entire formation.

\'I hope this formation activates successfully.\'

Kai placed another peak-grade spirit stone inside the formation and activated it by channeling his Will Power.

The formation lines lit up, but they didn\'t activate, and the spirit stone turned into dust.

\'What did go wrong this time?\'

Kai checked the mistakes that he made this time.
