Chapter 88 - CHAPTER 88 - THE MYSTERY OF TRANSCENDENT ENTITY LEVEL (2)

Solanky passed through the entrance of the cave, and the path of the cave was illuminated by several jade slips that contained notes of concepts of the venerable saint. Solanky turned back to look at the entrance, but he saw complete darkness as if the outside world didn't exist. He tapped his forehead with a finger, and a wisp of his consciousness shot out like a streak of light into the distance, moving past the venerable saint jades until it came to a halt. Solanky, using his connection with the streak of light, felt his consciousness had been blocked by an invisible barrier. He then redirected the streak of light to hover over the jade slips and crystals on the path, and he found out that all the notes and techniques here were suitable for saint emperor transcendent beings, and some techniques elaborated on how weaker entities could use these techniques perfectly. Solanky walked towards the invisible barrier while comprehending the saint emperor's notes and techniques. After an hour, he had fully grasped the fundamentals of these techniques, and he had already upgraded most of his techniques to the saint emperor level. Solanky felt good because this time his control of the laws of the realm and concepts was sharp enough to rival the second venerable Goldie, one of the transcendent entities he personally knew. During this time, his strength had soared to 980,000 times the strength of an infinite source god, and Commander Hanks wasn't his match anymore. But Solanky felt that he had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation, and to cross to the transcendent entity (saint) level was like a snake wanting to become a lung dragon to stand at the apex of the mythical beast, comparable to the dragon and phoenix. Solanky, with his vast knowledge of transcendent beings and their power and techniques, was now confident of facing venerable saint transcendent entities, but he wasn't sure of facing saint emperors yet, because saint emperors were a tier above the venerable saint level. And over the years, only the first venerable one had reached such a level, and Elisa, the ancestral beast, was also at this level, and their methods and power were something he couldn't contend with. Solanky withdrew his wisp of consciousness into his eyebrow and gently touched the invisible barrier, which quickly dissipated and allowed him to enter. The moment he entered, instead of jade slips containing techniques and notes, he saw several statues, all in a different pose, with some radiating a golden light and the others radiating crimson red light. The moment Solanky saw these statues, he was shocked because these statues were all techniques above the saint emperor level, and these statues resembled two figures who were differentiated by the light they radiated. The statue radiating a crimson red light looked exactly like the forsaken god, and the statue bathed in a golden radiance was a little bit obscured from his senses, so he couldn't deduce the figure, but he felt some familiarity with it. Not thinking of it, he walked towards the forsaken god's statue, which was separated from the golden, radiant statues. He sat down before the first forsaken god statue, which was in a kicking pose. From this pose alone, Solanky got to know that in order for any being to practice this technique, if they weren't a transcendent entity yet, they had to have a firm understanding of the spiritual realm and how they could access it. Luckily for Solanky, he could access the spiritual realm freely and cultivated spiritual energies in his previous life when he was a perfect source god, meaning he was qualified to learn this technique above the saint emperor level and half a step into the nine peak turns level. During his practice, Solanky got to know that transcendent entities, regardless of tier, could comprehend and practice techniques at this level, given that they also cultivated a spiritual body or spiritual energies and understood the laws of the spiritual realm. As a saint-level transcendent mastering this technique, one would be invincible at the transcendent entity level. This is due to the half-step Nine Peak Turns technique granting power even slightly above emperor beings like the first venerable one. The spiritual realm open to entity-level beings is far more mysterious than for mere infinite source gods or half-step entity-level beings. A transcendent entity with spiritual higher law recognition can exist anywhere within the infinite source space; they use this ability to form sects, cults, and religions across the scattered infinite source worlds, some kept secret as backup in case of elimination. With belief and hope placed in them via the spiritual world, they can revive themselves, making it difficult to truly get rid of them in the worlds they visited. "This I know," Solanky said to himself. To address this hidden danger, one must learn or create a half-step nine-peak turns technique capable of dealing with such enemies. By consuming or absorbing their energies and refining them, one can progress to the next tier, enhance law manipulation, improve combat prowess, or attempt to convert all their believers—though the last approach is nearly impossible. While practicing the crimson red radiant techniques, the information and mysteries were transmitted to Solanky to help him grasp the half-step nine peak turns techniques. Solanky, grasping 30% of the technique, felt his power soar, and his internal energies became purer and purer each time he comprehended the technique. While comprehending, he, Solanky, got to know that transcendent entities were the absolute powerhouses of the beyond realm and collective realms because these worlds could not withstand a battle between true nine-peak-turn beings, as the bodies and spiritual power alone could overwhelm the entire beyond realm. or a Nine Peak Turns being in action in the beyond realm, they have to tone down their attacks to the level of a half-step nine-peak-turns being. If not, and parts of the beyond realm are broken, they will be taxed by the collective mind and higher beings to maintain that region of the beyond realm for ten samsaras. To a being of that caliber, that time wasn't long, but what deterred them was the flock of transcendent beings visiting and worrying them to vouch for them to reach their level, which is insane. So in order not to attract attention to themselves, they stay hidden from entity-level beings and lower for their peace of mind. Solanky finally comprehended the first technique, and he got to know that the technique wasn't all about kicking, as it involved some leg work movement techniques, which were unparalleled under the nine peak turns level. Solanky became ecstatic because he now had a movement technique he could use to save his own life whenever he faced a powerful saint emperor transcendent entity. Solanky stood up and practiced the movement technique, trying to integrate it with his void shadow steps. Suddenly he felt someone looking at him in the distance behind the crimson red statues; he turned, but he saw no one in the direction he felt the gaze coming from. He continued with his practice as he moved to the next statue, who had two fingers pointed towards the cave's ceiling, and one could see that those fingers were charred black. Solanky was elated because, seeing the statue, he instantly knew it was the Finger of Terror technique, the complete unfiltered technique. Solanky began to diligently practice it, as he could use it as a hidden trump card against powerful opponents. The finger of terror relied on the combination of the collective realms' energies and one's spiritual energy to produce a focused beam attack, which could instantly shatter the armors of beings in the saint emperor level and deal a devastating blow to them. Any being hit by this focused beam is doomed for annihilation, as no being below the nine peak turns can resolve being hit with such an attack. Olanky began practicing it, and he found out that the technique barely used his spiritual energies, and he could barely feel a loss in spiritual energy. But the most difficult part was the pain that accompanied it for beings using it for the first time, as they would feel the finger burn intensely. Solanky, being the owner of the source, defying flames barely felt the burning pain, as he was used to it. Solanky's fingers became charred black, indicating that he had successfully practiced the technique. A clap resounded behind crimson statues, where he felt the gaze coming from earlier. Solanky was a little startled because he never sensed this mysterious being when he entered until the gaze of the being landed on him, and it seemed to show interest in him before he noticed. He said, "Just at the peak entity stage, and you have comprehended this many techniques and mastered two of the crimson red statues in just two years while receiving the information on transcendent entities and half-step nine-peak-turns beings. I must say I am very impressed."
