playing with threads and nature
ken was sitting on the ground casually now and thinking about his newly gained powers .
first power was the ability to produce strong thin threads which were made of silk or something like that . he could control the thickness from 1 cm wide till too small that were not visible even with divine sense of average cultivators.
his control over the strenght of threads was at the level of instinct. he could make them strong enough to break tier 2 materials now or sharp enough to cut them easily. this was much stronger than the spider because simply Ken's purity and density of qi was different. he could also use strings like a spider net which are sticky in nature .
he also gained poison resistance and ability to create poison mist and wield the poison freely . ken really wanted this bloodline because the abilities were too good . Ken's every ability would become stronger with his rise in purity and density of qi in future .
other abilities were night vision and bone manipulation . night vision aside , this bone manipulation was appealing to ken because he could freely change his bone structure and disguise his appearance. the spider could shrink its body till one fifth of its size so ken could do so now too .
ken now started playing with strings and tried many things . he used his sword comprehension and the thin string easily cut the pillar of the palace and the ingredient was tier 3 ironwood . his sword comprehension really improved the effect. looks like ken will have to focus on the way of sword sometime in future .
like this he tried many things and played with strings for almost an hour . the qi lost wasn't much which made ken more satisfied with his new ability . the palace was in ruins now and ken didnt even stood up from the ground . but ken didnt touch the library and main room because the formations set up there were formidable and ken simply didn't want to destroy the library . after all he was planning to leave it for someone who could arrive here in the future. well it was difficult because of the formations outside but still maybe .
the sound proofing and shock absorption formations were was perfect so nothing must be heard or felt outside when ken destroyed the palace slowly . ken decided that it was time to leave and look around the nature that filled the island except the city .
ken casually walked out from the spell formations and spread his divine sense to cover kilometers of radius around him . ken only took seconds to recognize the somewhat high tier herbs scattered around but he was disappointed as he didnt find them much useful . of course ken could eat them now and his cultivation would advance somewhat too but he immediately discarded that idea . it's because it's best to not unnecessarily pluck those herbs as they need decades or even centuries to grow. as for selling some ? ken wont take them because he doesn't have any boxes or bottles specially made to preserve the herbs and the sect would take away his loot anyway and he wasn't interested in some points either .
ken went down the mountain slowly with his eyes closed because there were no disciples in some kilometers vicinity around him . he didnt find any corpses either which made him relieved a little . the beautiful nature enveloped ken so his surroundings were really colorful as low tier herbs of various qualities were growing here and there .
maybe due to the fear of killing formation, there were no beasts in several kilometers so the area was peaceful and ken could enjoy the beautiful scenery fully . as ken was walking , the trees that were huge and sturdy were seen which meant that the next are was the forest . as expected finally ken spotted many disciples and beasts scattered around .
soon it would be night time when the beasts became more active so the disciples were hiding in some caves or trees while some even had hidden themselves in underground small caves . blood had dried on some locations but there were no corpses anywhere. the beasts ones must have been taken away as food by both beasts and disciples while the corpses of disciples by beasts or buried by some other disciples .
ken spotted zhao inside a small cave cultivating. the spiritual energy in this area was naturally dense so many disciples were cultivating diligently to advance faster .
like this days passed and ken either meditated or toured the area leisurely . the competition was finally over and the red identity jades of disciples reminded them . the beautiful voice of elder samantha sounded and told them to arrive at the entrance till night . ken was sitting cross legged in the same underground cave where he found the blue inferno fruit , opened his eyes . he smiled a little because the time he spent in meditation was fruitful as his comprehension of space element improved very much and he could communicate with it much easily now.
