Chapter 902: Explorer Inala’s New Goal
"This is your home." Shuwrak Zahara said as he pointed Inala to a large stone boulder atop which a Decodus Tree was growing. The roots of the tree had spread across the boulder's surface, at places digging into it.
A section of roots had dug into one side and excavated a large, open space within. It was the home meant for Inala.
"That's nice," Inala walked in through the entrance and observed the ground had been dug up to create more space within. In terms of height, there was around 200 metres between the ground and ceiling, enough for even an adult Brully to move about freely.
There was a small corner where a thin waterfall cascaded down, forming a pool wide enough for a Brully to dip inside. There was another spot nearby to take a shit, obviously veiled behind a curtain of roots.
Moss grew on the walls, purifying the interior and keeping it fresh. In the centre, there was a large stone table that could act as an anvil or the Brully. The arrangements were simple and satisfied Inala, "It's a good place."
"Most of the effort had been done to increase the robustness of this dwelling." Shuwrak Zahara said with a tinge of pride, "Even if you were to bash into the walls, it will withstand over a couple dozen attacks."
"That's pretty tough," Inala nodded as he felt the walls, observing that the boulder was artificially created by compressing a tough mineral resembling granite and strengthened to the limit. The roots spreading within it acted as shock absorbers, able to increase the structural strength.
'It can withstand a couple dozen attacks not from me, but from an adult Brully. That's awesome.' Inala thought as he analysed the structure, 'A Clumped Finger's Nature of Imprison had been used. But there are also a few other Natures involved in its creation. The Wean Clan has been experimenting and growing at an excellent pace too, it seems.'
"Well, we have quite a few competent architects." Shuwrak Zahara grinned and then stared at Inala, "It has been a day since your arrival. So, how is it?"
"The Gold Varahan Library, I mean."
"You'll be making the Pranic Beasts more dominant than at present." Inala stared at Shuwrak Zahara and expressed in all seriousness, "Are you alright with it?"
"Just the information in the Gold Varahan Library currently can raise the strength of all Pranic Beasts by at least a quarter."
"Currently, which force do you think is the strongest?" Shuwrak Zahara turned silent in response to Inala's question and asked after a few minutes of consideration.
"Clansmen, obviously." Inala said, "Overall, the Pranic Beasts occupy most of Sumatra. However, in terms of individual strength, the Clansmen stand at the peak."
"Mammoth Clan, Cooter Clan, Quip Clan, Wean Clan..." Shuwrak Zahara nodded,
"Individually, they are the strongest force. Currently, the fastest growing among them are the Wean and Quip Clans."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"But just like how the Wean Clan is kept in check by the Varahan Empire, the Quip Clan is also being targeted by various forces that haven't received their support." He continued, "So, even if they continue to grow in strength, they'll never dominate Sumatra."
"That's exactly my point." Inala nodded, "Whatever you're doing will only benefit us Pranic Beasts."
"Your gains won't be all that much."
"You're right, but it is what it is." Shuwrak Zahara shook his head, "If the Pranic Beasts grow stronger, let them. Sumatra needs all the strength it can muster to face an invasion from other Continents."
"I see," Shuwrak Zahara stared at Inala with a knowing gaze, "It seems you're aware of it too, considering how you're not in a state of shock."
"How did you figure it out?"
"I learnt it from the Quip Clan," Inala scratched his cheek, "I encountered some of them and beat them up."
"Hah! As expected of a Brully." Shuwrak Zahara burst into laughter. Once he had calmed down, he observed Inala and nodded, "Mystic Sumatra Art is the strongest cultivation technique, even among all the Mystic Grade cultivation techniques. Its potential is limitless, since it's versatilely applicable to all Pranic Beasts."
'Even then, it won't make complete sense...unless!' Inala's eyes widened as he observed Shuwrak Zahara and uttered solemnly, "You're preparing for Transcendence."
