80 Secrets of a fae immortal
Arthur left his older brother and father to sort out the details regarding when they were going to release the information about the Ocean Vein Tree to the rest of the Elders.
Releasing the information right now would be stupid.
They themselves held all the cards, and could play this particular trap whenever they needed to reverse a situation, or gain some sort of leverage over some of the other Elders.
Gaining benefits from these Elders might've interested the previous Arthur, but now that an existence like Andrea had suddenly come about, these small benefits meant nothing in comparison.
Reaching Rank 2 before the beast tide was his first priority.
Acquiring the Boundless Forest Yearning Sovereign Boundary Physique was the second.
He needed the strength to fight through the beast tide in order to "protect" Andrea.
Some of the Fae that he needed for the process weren't ready yet either.
These were all Fae whose Fae Formula and existence hadn't yet been discovered in this world yet. The notion of stealing a Sovereign Boundary Physique was nothing but a dream for the current era.
Only in 700 years, when the Immortal Sovereign War breaks out would the creator of these Fae become known throughout the Thirty Three Heavens.
Arthur smirked.
'Seven hundred years is a long time.... I'll make good use of these Fae before "he" can even come about'.
The consequences of introducing these Fae were dangerous, especially to Arthur who was still only a Rank 1 Fae Master. If he accidentally released the existence of these Fae to the world then no doubt countless geniuses from numerous Sects and Clans all across Human Heaven would come after him.
Thus, Arthur had to take care in order to eliminate anybody, or anything who even tried to peer into his secrets.
Leon was the easiest one. After playing the "cold, yet caring young brother" his second brother ate it up and completely and utterly trusted the words of his younger sibling.
Dominic and Niklos were also played in similar fashions, while those "classmates" of his, Ratimir, Alina, Borik and even Andrea were all fooled by varying different facades.
Only Randolf suspected him of being something other than his "normal" self, but he was a foreigner, someone who possessed two lifetimes worth of memories and experiences.
It was only natural for someone of his nature to be cautious, and more aware of those around them.
Elder Stas on the other hand, was someone who needed to be disposed of.
Luring him into a trap and killing him using borrowed means.
The little fly was blinded by the sight of Arthur's "diary" and completely ignored all of his surroundings.
Arthur didn't know this, but Elder Stas possessed the wolf nose Fae at the time. After sniffing the inside of the massive ancient tree, he immediately deactivated this Fae, less the smell dulls his combat senses.
If he kept it active, he might've been able to discern that he wasn't alone inside the tree. But still, his green blinded him from seeing the truth.
Even if the details of that "diary" were real, Stas would never leave the tree with those secrets in tact.
Arthur smiled gently as he laid down in his underground room. The Fae that Dominic would exchange for the Ocean Vein Limit Fae were specifically used to enhance his combat strength.
He would need them when the beast tide comes.
Sitting up in his bed, Arthur immediately went cross legged, entering a meditative state.
His thoughts and ideas were moving and progressing steadily within his mind.
Arthur might not have the cultivation, the physical body, or the Fae of a true Fae Immortal.
However, his senses, his knowledge, and his comprehension on the myriad Truths about Fae, and their existence in the World still remained.
He couldn't exert over 90% of this power, due to the lacking Fae, and his lacking cultivation, but still, as his cultivation progressed further, his former abilities would gradually show themselves.
Within the vast reaches of his origin essence seas, Arthur could "see" the faint runes, and heavenly laws within the very depths of his origin essence seas.
Within the Body origin essence sea, the faint image of a heavenly bone could be discerned. It was covered in myriad texts and ancient symbols, reminiscent of the bone of a heavenly demon, or some sort of archaic beast.
Within his Mind origin essence sea, the formless expansion and contraction of a shadow could be faintly seen. It constantly fluxed, sometimes appearing as the size of a bean, while other times expanding rapidly, appearing as though a giant shadowy sea which could engulf the sun and moon.
Arthur sighed, as if recalling a distant memory.
It had taken Arthur over a thousand years to refine his Fae Immortal powers to such a state. And even though they weren't enough to reach the apex, it was enough for Arthur to dominate an entire region.
Two of his origin essence seas had completed their Law and Bloodline refinements, all that was needed was to complete his Soul origin essence sea and his cultivation would experience a drastic increase in power and strength.
He smiled before glancing towards the Winter Solstice Salamander.
Arthur had been planning on using that for the basis of his Soul origin essence sea, but things were cut short and its other ability had been activated.
Arthur had fully intending on dying that day, but still, with the assistance of the Winter Solstice Salamander, his fate had been reversed along with all of his "time".
He had fully intended on reaching even greater heights in this life than his previous, but with the addition of the Boundless Forest Yearning added into the mix, Arthur's plans had changed significantly.
The existence of the "bone" and "shadow" in his origin essence seas were now hindering his ability to progress.
If Arthur had the Boundless Forest Yearning in his hands right now, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from imploding, due to the conflicting natures of his powers.
Arthur needed to get rid of this two existences within him if he wanted to progress further.
He sighed before shaking his head.
"Not right now. I might need them in the short term. Not to mention what will happen after I detonate them".
Even if Niklos, the strongest expert in the Clan were to examine these two existences within Arthur's origin essence sea, he would shake his head and sigh, not knowing what they were.
How could a measly Rank 4 Fae Master, even compare to the might of the weakest Fae Immortal?
How could they comprehend the mysteries that these existences had uncovered?
If Niklos wanted to understand what was inside Arthur's origin essence sea, he would at least need to become a Rank 6 Fae Immortal. Or find someone who was a Fae Immortal.
Arthur's mind floated towards the places around the Kovacs Clan, where he had planted the "seeds" necessary for his future.
A large map appeared within his mind, and numerous locations doted this large map, some indicating Fae materials, while other indicating "seeds" or other dangerous locations.
One place in particular, directly next to Parachenko Village was marked, and a large, slightly oblong circle had been placed around it.
This weirdly shaped circle wasn't an indication of Arthur's carelessness, it was an indication of a boundary.
"That's where I'll do it. That's where I'll kill Andrea".
