Chapter 1150: Boundless Skysea Creator Visualization Technique’s Misrepresentation

With 10 SP, the completion progress only increased by 0.001%. It would take another 769,980 SP to raise the completion progress from 23.002% to 100%.

If Vaan were to rely on the system’s natural recovery of soul power, it would take over two thousand years of accumulation to deduce the Heaven-rank Everlasting Will Secret Art.

Two thousand years wasn’t actually considered a long time to Soul Masters and other Divine Beings. In fact, it was a very short time if that was all it took them to create a Heaven-rank True Soul Cultivation Method.

However, for Vaan, it was clearly far too long.

’Fortunately, 2109.5 years is not fixed. By supplying the system with my own soul power or relying on its ability to absorb soul power from other beings, I can accelerate the progress, shortening the time required.’

’Furthermore, if I learn more knowledge of Soul Master Cultivation within this timeframe, the completion progress would reach 100% even sooner.’

’There’ll definitely be more opportunities to acquire other Soul Master Cultivation knowledge. Dumping all my soul power into the progress bar would just delay me from completing other objectives.’

’It would be inefficient and wasteful.’

The Heaven-rank Everlasting Will Secret Art would be deduced with enough time and opportunities. It was a long-term project that didn’t require immediate attention.

Considering the Soul Path was part of Vaan’s third step to achieving True Divinity, even if he acquired the Heaven-rank Everlasting Will Secret Art for his own use, he wouldn’t be able to prioritize its practice.

As for the Soul Master Hall’s poor heritage, he had already created the Divine-rank Greater Soul Refining Art, the Divine-rank True Spirit Replenishment Art, and the Pinnacle Divine-rank Ninefold True Soul Refining Art.

These three True Soul Cultivation Methods were sufficient to enrich the Soul Master Hall’s heritage.

After imprinting three True Soul Cultivation Methods into Memory Crystals, Vaan had their information scanned and uploaded to the library’s database for validation and organization.

Next, Vaan intended to resolve the Soul Master Hall’s shortage of Soul Master talents.

Since the basic prerequisite for Soul Master Cultivation was to be a Prime Factor Bearer, the Soul Master Hall required better methods for screening talents.

Regarding this point, Vaan suddenly hesitated.

’Although Soul Masters are highly respected throughout Chaos, they are also targeted by the Outerworlders and the Corrupted Ones,’ Vaan contemplated with a frown.

If he designed a powerful tool for detecting Prime Factor Bearers, and the knowledge fell into the wrong hands, he would be harming countless generations of his descendants, great-nephews, and great-nieces.

After all, he was the eldest son of the Prime Originator.

Among all of the Soul Masters and unawakened Soul Masters, who could be part of the Prime Originator’s lineage, if they weren’t his descendants, then they were still his collateral relatives.

No matter how distant the lineage had spread, they were all related to him.

As such, it would be too great of sin if countless unawakened Soul Masters were harmed because of something he created, even if he had good intentions.

’Perhaps the Soul Master Hall avoided this for the same concern. Such a convenient detection tool was a double-edged sword, Vaan thought.

In that case, it was better not to have.

In any case, he had his fourth-dimensional sense. Even without such a tool, he could detect all of the Prime Factor Bearers, who have yet to discover their talent, in the Myriad Sea God Palace. ŖÀ𐌽ọꞖЕꞨ

While he was still around, he could hand-pick them out of the mass and send them all to the Soul Master Hall for early cultivation.

As for future generations of unawakened Soul Masters, they can only rely on their own fortune, fate, and destiny to enter the doors of Soul Master Cultivation early.

’Let’s go with that,’ Vaan decided.

Shortly after, Vaan contemplated what else he could do to assist the future generations of his relatives at the Soul Master Hall.

’Besides True Soul Cultivation Methods, there’s still the Visualization Techniques,’ Vaan considered.

True Soul Cultivation Methods could help a Soul Master increase the limit of their soul power, but it wouldn’t help them with their control over their power of thought.

However, Visualization Techniques could.

Moreover, there were no risks to practicing the Visualization Techniques. At the same time, mastering a good Visualization Technique would make the Nascent Soul Avatar easier to form.

Essentially, a good Visualization Technique was even more important than a good True Soul Cultivation Method in the early stage of Soul Master Cultivation.

Unfortunately, the Soul Master Hall only had a single Visualization Technique: the Boundless Skysea Creator Visualization.

’Hold on a second... Isn’t this supposed to be me?’

Vaan suddenly realized that the Boundless Skysea Creator Visualization Technique depicted the Lord of Boundless Seas and Skies. Surprisingly, he had overlooked this detail despite the obvious sign.

However, no matter how many times Vaan reviewed the Boundless Skysea Creator Visualization Technique, he couldn’t find any Varuna’s resemblance in the image.

A dashing, handsome young man with soft brows and deep eyes, containing boundless benevolence and kindness and capable of accommodating all of heaven and earth, was turned into a decrepit, hunched-back old man full of wrinkles and a weary gaze.

’Holy crap! No wonder this Visualization Technique is so shit. My image has been completely twisted!’ Vaan remained composed on the surface, but his mind was practically screaming.

The interpretation of his appearance wasn’t just completely wrong; it was an insult.

Could an ageless immortal look like this?

The old man was full of wrinkles and weariness, practically elderly and nearing the end of his life. With a limitless lifespan, a person’s cells would never decline to achieve such an appearance unless they purposely chose to.

Even if that were the case, how could such an appearance be considered handsome?

Was the standard of handsomeness so common among ageless immortals that everyone’s aesthetics changed?

Moreover, Varuna was described as an almighty figure, capable of upholding heaven and earth.

Yet, what was he seeing?

With a slightly hunched back, he looked more like someone burdened and weighed down by heaven and earth. No trace of his almightiness could be found in such a posture.

Did the original description of Varuna seem too exaggerated, so the creator of the Visualization Technique reimagined his appearance in a form that made more sense to them?

’Why do I feel like the creator of this Visualization Technique is messing with me? With such a detailed description, it shouldn’t be possible to come up with this kind of severe misrepresentation.’

’What’s even more infuriating is that the image in this Visualization Technique actually possesses some charm of law.’

’Dammit, what part is this even remotely resembles me?’

Regardless of Vaan’s original intention, he felt he needed to restore his image—or at least improve it. Otherwise, people would eventually believe this misrepresentation was his true form.

The essence of Visualization Techniques lies in the power of language and art.

Through the recitation of a systematic set of law-empowered words, an image could be drawn within one’s mind. Through repeated practice, one would gradually master drawing the virtual image without any recitation.

However, without a powerful art for reference, the practice of the Visualization Technique would become much more difficult.

After all, without an example, one could only rely on their comprehension of language and draw up their own interpretation of the intended image that was supposed to form in their mind.

’Visualization Techniques... Can’t say I am proficient in this area...’ Vaan pondered for a moment.

In fact, he wasn’t very familiar with Visualization Techniques even after browsing through the Soul Master Hall’s library. After all, it only had a single Boundless Skysea Creator Visualization Technique.

There weren’t many references to draw on for insights.

’However, I know the true image of Varuna, and I am proficient with runes, which are naturally law-empowered words. If I add the power of thought, creating a superior Visualization Technique shouldn’t be difficult,’ Vaan contemplated.

Now that he had settled down and given to think, he suspected the severe misrepresentation of Varuna’s true image was not an act to insult him but to protect him.

After all, his enemies wouldn’t be able to recognize him if they didn’t know what he looked like.

That said, Varuna had been around Chaos for over a hundred Chaos Cycles and only disappeared in the last couple of Chaos Cycles. Countless beings would have seen and known what his true appearance looked like.

As such, this kind of blatant misrepresentation wasn’t effective unless his true image had been wiped from everyone’s memories.

’Although I don’t intend to record my true image in this new Visualization Technique, it still needs improvement. This severe misrepresentation is simply unacceptable. Those who don’t know me will think I am ugly, while those who actually know me might suspect I am adopted.’

Vaan complained in his mind.

’It was fine if they made me a little less handsome. Why did they have to make me so hideous? What if there was actually someone who looked like this? Wouldn’t it be an undeserved calamity? As if they weren’t born with enough disadvantages,’ Vaan thought with righteous indignation.

Ding!
