568: Chapter 537: The Curse of Knowledge (2/3) 568: Chapter 537: The Curse of Knowledge (2/3) Of course, becoming a Rock Cast Knight was just the beginning.
Because, after that, Ian still had to deal with two Demi-Magic Potions.
But compared to the actual operation of the Rock Cast Knight Potion for the first ti, Ian had obtained the materials for the Demi-Magic Potions two months ago, which allowed him ample ti to plan out a perfect production process that wouldn’t even take more than five minutes.
The ‘Ensnaring Rock Hydra’ and ‘Nightmare Sea Slug’ both represent the ‘skill’ aspect within the Domain of Extres.
After studying for such a long period, Ian had discovered that, essentially, every Bloodline True Form and every level could construct a Domain of Extres—if not, it ant there were mistakes in the previous constructions, which could likely lead to deformities.
In other words, Demonic Beast Materials that could cause deformities were not suitable for the Domain of Extres, and this revelation significantly narrowed down Ian’s options for potential materials for the Domain.
Moreover, each True Form Bloodline Inheritance could support different Domains of Extres…
Although Ian had known this, he discovered that the Domains of Extres for each True Form Bloodline were actually fixed.
They either compensate for weaknesses or bolster strengths.
Each Domain of Extres was like elevating humans to sothing akin to ‘perfect-tier Magical Beasts,’ providing Sublimators with an additional ability and a side upgrade.
And the five Domains of Extres from the First to the Fifth Power Level were like turning Sublimators into perfectly upgraded beings in every aspect.
—— Reaching the Sixth Power Level absolutely shouldn’t be this complicated.
That was Ian’s thought.
He wasn’t outright dismissing his teacher’s approach, but since his teacher was a genius, it was possible he had fallen into a common pitfall of geniuses.
That is, not knowing how ‘non-geniuses’ would approach the problem.
In a sense, this was a kind of curse of knowledge…
Once a person learns sothing, they lose the ability to think in the way of soone who doesn’t know that thing.
It’s the sa with the talents of Sublimators—the ones who can quickly recognize and control Origin Quality are always more adapted to this type of thinking than those who can’t control it smoothly.
“Ordinary people, it seems, ought to need just one ‘Domain of Extres,’ and then cultivate it to the utmost limits, thereby breaking so sort of shackles or barrier at the Fifth Power Level to reach a realm beyond the imagination of all current Sublimators—this model is much more plausible than the teacher’s idea of ‘cultivating five Domains of Extres, pushing them all to their limits, and then advancing to the Sixth Power Level.’
“At least the forr has so feasibility, the latter…
even I find the latter preposterous, not to ntion I don’t quite grasp the thoughts of ordinary geniuses.”
As he pondered over these insights, Ian’s hands seed to move on their own, smoothly completing the potion configurations.
Soon, the Demi-Magic Potions for the ‘Ensnaring Rock Hydra’ and ‘Nightmare Sea Slug’ were ready.
In theory, Magic Potions should not be taken in succession…
It’s not that there’s anything wrong with doing so; it’s just that ordinarily, a person couldn’t possibly break through the First Power Level and imdiately thereafter, the Second Power Level, right?
That’s common sense.
But Ian had dual Inheritances, so he deliberately researched whether humans could take two Magic Potions in succession and if such action would have any adverse effects on the human body itself.
The answer was yes, it was possible, and indeed there were negative effects.
Taking Magic Potions in succession wouldn’t affect the effectiveness of the potions, but it would greatly increase the burden on the Sublimator’s control over their personal Origin Control Power— just think about it, a Sublimator who had been at the First Power Level for several years suddenly receiving the Origin Quality of two Second Power Level Magic Potions…
Forget about sublimation, even maintaining control would be impossible.
Such an outco naturally results in disordered Origin Structure, deford internal organs, and the body bursting apart, transforming directly into a grand firework and dying.
But Ian was different.
Since he was eight years old, the Primordial Seed he had been using was one of those with considerable power, and afterward, the Ancient Dragon Heart Core continued to train his Origin Control Power.
Not to ntion, he had already been at the Second Energy Level for almost half a year, having long adapted to the intensity of the Second Energy Level.
One bottle of Magic Potion and two bottles of Demi-Magic Potion were truly a breeze for him.
“That said, wouldn’t it be more effective to forge the Domain of Extres right after the Rock Cast Knight just took shape?”
With such an experintal mindset, Ian first drank the Ensnaring Rock Hydra’s Demi-Magic Potion.
For a mont, he felt an enormous Vitality.
The vitality of the hydra was second to none among Magical Beasts of its size at the Second Energy Level because it could produce all-purpose stem cells throughout its body.
Coupled with the Magical Beasts’ strong resistance to chanical damage, any ordinary attack could hardly inflict a fatal wound on it.
It was especially resistant to strong acids, implying that without special alchemical treatnt, even if one were to eat a piece of hydra flesh, it might not be digested at all but allow that small piece of hydra flesh to re-form into a mini-hydra.
This tenacious vitality, due to its overly low-grade life form, was very difficult to replicate in creatures with higher intelligence like Humans.
However, once at the Third Energy Level with a Heart Light Body, so inheritances could ignore brain damage, enabling complete control over the body, transforming it into a true biological weapon.
What Ian truly needed was its exquisitely fine Earth Origin Quality manipulation organ.
The hydra’s tentacles.
In a mont, after consuming the Magic Potion, Ian’s hair, which originally reflected a tallic sheen, suddenly beca alive — a clearly visible delicate Origin Structure began to course through the young man’s body and chose to converge at the most ‘lively’ part of the human body, the hair.
Then, Ian sensed that his hair had beco a series of fine ports for manipulating Origin Quality.
Often, he would not need to temporarily restore Inscription structures or Origin structures within his body using the Silver Chip to utilize certain Sublimation Skills.
Instead, he could inscribe them onto a certain amount of hair and activate them at critical monts to use directly.
The hydra itself could use this ability, but it really didn’t have much of a brain.
The Origin Structures it inscribed were mostly used for escaping, such as accelerating, spurting water, or burrowing stealthily…
But Humans could play with a much wider variety of patterns than Magical Beasts could.
As for the Demi-Magic Potion of Nightmare Sea Slug, it was even simpler.
A part of Ian’s nerves acquired the trait of ‘Spirit Substance transformation.’ His operation of Spirit Energy beca even more effortless, and the consumption also decreased.
Compared to this function, the fact that his nerve responses had beco more sensitive and the operations more refined was actually a minor matter.
However, the nerves transford by Spirit Substance combined with the more complex hair structure seed to produce a more miraculous reaction.
“Tanglestone Whiskers” and “Spirit Quality Nerve,” both being part of the technical Domain of Extres, one leaning more towards the physical body and the other towards Spirit Energy, complented each other.
At this mont, Ian felt a tamorphosis that reached deeper into his essence compared to when he advanced to Fairy Second Power Level.
Compared to the Sand Armor Apprentice, which only increased attributes and resistances, the Rock Cast Knight enhanced its original advantages in all aspects.
Moreover, it brought three entirely new Sublimation Organs.
“Eternal Physique,” “Silver Scale Firm Armor,” and “Clear Source Crystal.”
