Chapter 878: Body Aspect Nature
Since he already obtained the Primary and Secondary Natures, Inala's body was gradually changing even without his initiative.
'I see why I selected this build in the first place.' Inala thought in realisation as Prana continued to funnel into him through the orb. As the Prana circulated through his bloodstream, it was absorbed by the Spirit Container first and then was funnelled into the body, causing a second and third set of internal organs to form.
Inala's body didn't grow in size and remained the same. The individual size of his internal organs steadily shrunk to make up space for two more sets of the same. It felt weird, he felt out of breath, inhaling smaller packets of air as compared to before.
But slowly, that feeling vanished. The lungs and heart were part of the body's involuntary muscles. From birth until death, they worked nonstop. Their rate of work was different when the body was awake versus a state of rest.
That applied here too, but was slightly changed under the effect of Cyclic Recovery. The first pair of lungs were on fire, as if he was sprinting. The second set functioned normally while the third worked as if he was asleep.
As the first set worked extra hard, the overall intake of air became the same as usual. Moreover, with its expansion and contraction being faster, blood was circulated at a somewhat faster rate through the body.
Of course, there were three sets of lungs, all mixing different amounts of air with the blood. Therefore, Inala experienced difficulties in breathing until a set of regulators formed in his body that harmonised the workings of the three sets of organs until his body could function as a whole without issues.
Inala's situation was pretty strange, as the first Spirit Container had fallen to the Spirit Stage while the second and third were at the Body Stage. He was technically in the Spirit Stage and the Body Stage.
The difference indeed placed immense strain on his three hearts as their balance was sent out of whack. However, the Celestial Boar's Prana funnelling into him kept everything perfectly functional.
At the Body Stage, Inala consumed Nectar and activated Mystic Sumatra Art. As a Mammoth Clansman, using another cultivation technique caused him to lose Prana permanently. However, the effects of Mystic Sumatra Art were taking root properly.
Mystic Sumatra Art caused the Prana and blood of one's body to interact with each other and imprint their characteristics on the other party. Eventually, the user would be able to control their blood, similar to how they control Prana.
Over time, their genetics would also be strengthened, which was the biggest advantage. Mystic Sumatra Art was created for the Wean Clan, but was actually better suited for Pranic Beasts.
After transforming into an Empyrean Boar could the Wean Clansmen use the cultivation technique better. But even Brangara hardly used Mystic Sumatra Art other than for basic purposes like Information Slips.
It was because they could wield many Natures freely, so their need for a cultivation technique wasn't much beyond its basic functions. As a result, the cultivation technique wasn't developed much beyond what Yarsha Zahara had created and was finished by Brangara by tanking a Bolt of Transcendence.
The cultivation technique was complete but hadn't been developed in the slightest. It only had a few skills at most, a laughable matter for a Mystic Grade cultivation technique.
Mystic Bone Art had tens of thousands of Skills and hundreds of Prime Skills. Mystic Mist Art was pretty close in number too.
Inala had three reasons to focus on Mystic Sumatra Art. First of all, there was no Transcendent to wield authority over it, since the creator-Yarsha Zahara-was dead, and no Wean Clansman had become a Transcendent yet.
Second was the cultivation technique's property of increasing the potency of one's genetics. It was most effective on a Pranic Beast and when used for a long time, they could cleanse themselves of all genetic impurities, making them possess the perfect genetic makeup of their respective race.
