The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 99: Can\'t Meditate, Five Beings.

After eating some food, Athan sat down and started thinking excitedly, \' I only lack two Mystic intents now. If I can comprehend Speed and vibration Intent to Master level, then I\'ll be able to form concept and have a chance to earn a spot in the top 10 or even top 3. \'

He is adamant about being in the top 10 or top 3 because of the reward of entering the legendary sector, which will help him progress faster.

Athan closed his eyes and entered deep meditation, but a second later, Sweat started to form all over his body as he opened his eyes which held panic.

He activated his Digiband and contacted Senior Rishen.

A few seconds later, A portal appeared under him as he arrived at the Senior Rishen\'s place.

...

Senior Rishen entered into deep thought after Athan described his situation to him.

After a while, Senior Rishen shook his head and said, " I don\'t know why that happened to you, but you should stop comprehending for now. Your brain and consciousness must still be in a very active state, and it is also possible that you acquired a trauma regarding it. For now, You should give rest to comprehending intents and focus on increasing your combat power by practicing spells and the flowing method. "

Athan\'s expression became dejected as even Senior Rishen couldn\'t find any way to solve his situation.

" Sorry for disturbing you. Guess I\'ll focus on practicing my combat abilities. "

Senior Rishen nodded and said with a smile, " It\'s ok. If you find any trouble during training, You can contact me. "

After which, He opened a portal near Athan.

...

Seeing Athan coming back from the portal with a dejected expression, Avelia asked in a soft voice, " did something bad happen? "

Sighing, Athan nodded, " After eating, I tried to enter a meditative state to comprehend Intents, and right after I started to comprehend Intent, An intense pain assaulted me as my mystic force was automatically consumed. "

Avelia was startled and asked, " Do you mean that you entered Fatal Cogitation State right after you tried to comprehend intents? "

"That seems to be the case, but I couldn\'t focus on training at all due to the pain experienced by my brain and consciousness when I tried to comprehend intent. "

Avelia worriedly said, " Don\'t push yourself too far. It would be best if you take things slowly from now on. The burden on your brain and consciousness for comprehending 5 intents to the Master level in a short time period and entering that high-level state must have caused some kind of trauma. "

" I think so too...sigh, Let\'s hope I can recover after a month so I can continue to comprehending because I only need to master two Mystic Intents to start forming my concept. "

Avelia nodded with a smile and asked, " I also hope that you recover, but what do we do now? "

Athan looked at her and smiled wryly before saying, " I\'ll just practice the new Flowing method I received from Senior Rishen. "

Avelia was overjoyed at the response because practicing with Athan means she could spend more time with him.

...

Athan started with the flowing method because he can\'t practice the spell as it requires him to comprehend Shadow Intent, Air Intent, and Space Intent to Master level.

Senior Rishen said that this spell would come in handy in many situations.

[ Shadow Transfer ]

- Requires Shadow, Air, and Space Intent at Master Level.

- User can form a shadow mark of any shape to bypass even in the smallest of holes or space before transferring himself to the mark\'s location.

- Maximum range is 100 meters after practicing this spell to peak-stage.

Athan wanted to practice this, but he needed to comprehend Shadow and Space intent to Master level even to start practicing, so he put this spell on hold and focused on the Flowing Method.

He was truly dumbfounded when he read the requirements of this Flowing Method for the first time.

Senior Rishen didn\'t tell Athan that he was the one who created this Flowing method.

[ Pentagon Spirit Flowing Method ]

- Requirements: Fire, Earth, Wood, Water, and Air Intents at Intermediate Level to start.

- Flowing Path: Full Body.

- Requirement of Body States---> Beginner Stage: 120 Strength, 150 Constitution.

- Spells:

Beginner Stage:- Berserk Grenade, Berserk Ray.

Advanced Stage:- Pentagon God\'s Sanctuary, Pentagon Demon\'s Grasp.

Peak-Stage:- Pentagon Spirit Armament. ( Requires Intents at Advanced Level. )

...

Athen started to practice the flowing method and grasped the basics of the Beginner Stage after two days.

Afterward, He started to practice with Avelia while running the Pentagon Spirit Flowing Method in his body.

Berserk Grenade spell was literally a grenade type spell that would explode upon contact, and Berserk Ray is a laser type, Penetrative attack.

It wasn\'t that hard for Athan to start the beginner stage, but it proved hard to master it.

The Five Active energies; Fire, Wood, Water, Air, and Earth, running inside his whole body while he was in rigorous movements like flying and using other spells was indeed a bit difficult.

" Damn, that was difficult. " Athan spoke as he slumped to the ground.

Avelia said with a smile, " But Those Spells are really powerful. Anyway, I\'ll cook some food while you take some rest. "

" Thanks for the delicious food. " Athan laughed and said.

...

Days passed as Athan moved to practice Space Ripple, Combusting Burst steps, Earth Golems and Hydro Blitz as he mastered them to peak-stage since he could not practice The Peak-stage of Pentagon spirit Flowing method because it required Intents at Master level.

He had tried to comprehend Intent, but he was still suffering from the same problem of automatically entering Fatal Cogitation State while feeling pain in his consciousness and brain.

With a sigh, Athan thought, \' Now only one month is left, and I still can\'t enter normal meditation state. \'

Avelia was currently out for the mission, and he was also bored as he had nothing to do.

\' Guess I\'ll visit the virtual world. \'

He first ate a white crystalline pill before entering the Virtual World.

Although he could not comprehend Intents, He still had Many Elemental Pills, so he ate Time Origin Pill to get Time Element.

...

A Space Fortress that was even bigger than a planet was actually suspended in space.

It was not round shape like a planet but truly a huge rectangle Fortress that had numerous Towers.

The grandiosity of it was truly...magnificent.

Giant Spaceships were traveling to and fro from that fortress.

A Place inside that fortress was connected to a separate space.

Five beings were sitting on five different thrones inside that pocket space while being suspended in this sky.

The surroundings were filled with White clouds with no land in sight.

These five beings had different appearances.

One being sat on a sparkling Black throne that was painted with blue and white patterns.

This being had a small height of only 1 ft, and his throne was also the smallest due to his size.

He had black skin with a light blue hue and two holes in his palm; his forehead had a silver-colored horn.

The being on his left sat on a Throne that seemed to be created from the bones. Dark mists surrounded him/her, which made it difficult to see his or her appearance.

But Instead of hands and feet like normal humans, This being instead had three long...tentacles that were red-colored, so his/her skin was also most likely red.

" Crisaly, What plans do you have for the Human race? It seems that you were pulling quite a few strings recently. "

The one who spoke was a being with two giant green wings on his back; His body was also the biggest among these 5 beings.

If someone saw from afar, His throne was actually completely white, just like the clouds around them, so it wouldn\'t seem like he was sitting on a throne, but there was a faint grey outline around his throne which was observable if one looked carefully.

His question was directed at the being that looked like a female. The reason for judging her as a female was due to the bust of her chest.

They were huge. According to human standards, it was a K-cup-nay, King cup size bust.

But she was not a human, She had four eyes, and a dark film covered her nose and below area.

Her skin color was purple as her hands didn\'t have fingers. It was just a long sharp purple pointy stick, same with her legs.

She snorted from her covered nose and said, " I am not pulling any strings. It\'s just my attempt to help them unlock their secret passage of the Legendary Sector. "

Another womanly voice rang out, which came from the tentacle being, " Don\'t go too far just because you lost against The Jade Empress. If you break the treaty between races, You and your race will directly suffer Lord\'s wrath. "

Annoyance could be seen in the eyes of Crisaly as she said, " I know what I am doing. Do you think I would put my Race and me in danger just because of losing against Aragaya, that bitch? "

" Then what were you doing in Human Race\'s Legendary Sector? "

Crisaly didn\'t want to answer at first, but the other four began to put pressure on her, so she raised her hands and said, " Fine, fine, I\'ll tell you why I went there. "

Pausing here, She said with an unnatural expression, " It\'s...because Aragaya made a bet with me in that fight, and I lost, so I went there to... fulfill it. "

A fat being that had Bronze skin with gold patterns asked, " What did you bet? " His throne was golden colored with dark patterns.

Crisaly snapped at that question and answered angrily, " What does it have to do you with? I will handle my own Race and affairs. Now can we already start the meeting about resource allocation? "
