Before the prepared materials lost their effects, Yuan swiftly started the process of combining them together to craft Kulas' vessel.
When Yuan combined the first materials, a profound ripple appeared, sweeping the entire world. As he continued combining them, the ripple grew stronger, and eventually the entire world began trembling from the imnse aura emanating from the vessel.
If Kulas could swallow, he'd be swallowing nervously at this mont, his eyes glued to the process. "This phenonon! It's as if a treasure is being born!" Yu Ning stopped her cultivation to watch, her pretty face full of awe.
One month… three months… six months…
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. Yet, Yuan was still nowhere near finished with the vessel.
"Hey, Kulas, I need you to enter the incomplete vessel."
Yuan suddenly said to him.
"What? Now? Even though it's still incomplete?"
"Hurry! I'll explain later!"
Hearing the urgency in Yuan's voice, Kulas entered the incomplete vessel without hesitation, his trust in Yuan evident.
"Wow! This feels amazing!" Kulas' surprised voice resounded a mont later. "If it's already this comfortable, I cannot imagine how much better the complete vessel will feel!"
"Since this vessel is incomparably more durable than the average body, I need you to start forming your shape before it's completed, as it'd be impossible once the vessel finishes and hardens."
"I understand. Then I'll start forming my body now."
Soon, limbs began to sprout from the incomplete vessel, but at a far slower pace than when Yu Ning ford her body. In fact, the process was so gradual it resembled the growth of a plant, so slow that it appeared motionless even when watched for a long ti.
Days passed. Then weeks. Then months.
After unceasing effort from both Yuan and Kulas, the vessel was finally finished.
"HAHAHA! I AM FINALLY REBORN!" Kulas bellowed, standing tall in a dominant pose as he stood completely naked, proudly displaying his perfectly refined body to the empty world.
Despite his ancient age, Kulas chose the appearance of a young man, with short golden hair, resembling how he looked when he first t Yuan. He was tall, with a lean yet slightly larger-than-average physique—a stark contrast to his days as the Giant Emperor, when his body had been as massive as a mountain and bulging with muscle.
"Put this on," Yuan said as he tossed a pair of white robes at Kulas.
As Kulas adjusted his appearance, Yuan said, "Because you remained in soul form for so long—and considering everything that happened—your entire cultivation base is gone. However, your new vessel is powerful enough to contend with Immortals on its own, so you won't be completely helpless."
"Is that so? I want to test the limits of my new body, so if you don't mind, spar with ."
"Why am I not surprised that's the first thing you want to do after regaining a new body after countless years?" Yuan remarked with a smile.
"I've been without a body and unable to stretch for far too long, after all."
"I can give you a few days to adjust to your body if you—" Yuan had to stop his speech midway when Kulas abruptly lunged his fists at him.
Despite the sudden ambush, Yuan blocked Kulas effortlessly, even catching his fist mid-strike.
Without pause, Kulas hurled his other hand forward. Yuan caught it as well, but this blow was noticeably stronger than the first.
Kulas imdiately launched himself off the ground and dropped-kicked into Yuan's stomach.
Yuan absorbed the strike without flinching. He barely felt the impact, but the sheer force still forced him back a single step.
Kulas continued his relentless assault for several days, never once pausing to catch his breath. Yuan spent the first day on the defensive, letting Kulas grow accustod to his new body. After that, he began to fight back.
Despite having no cultivation at all, Kulas's strikes continued to intensify, each blow fiercer than the last, as though his power were being drawn from thin air.
"Hahaha! This is it! I finally feel alive again!" Kulas laughed with excitent.
A week later, Kulas finally stopped.
"Although I am not satisfied with this little amount of warm-up, I'll end it here," he said.
Yuan nodded and then asked, "What about your cultivation technique?"
Kulas fell silent to ponder for a mont before responding, "I am considering training Great Mammoth Body Refinent again."
Yuan raised an eyebrow at his answer.
"Even after everything you went through because of that technique?"
"It's the strongest technique I know, and I have already mastered it. Moveover, I have no intention of giving up the path of a body refiner, either," he explained.
"The Great Mammoth Body Refinent technique may be powerful, but it's no longer the strongest technique out there. And since you already mastered it, you can simply learn and master another one."
Kulas pondered for another mont before nodding, "You're right. Since I already mastered it, there's no reason not to try out other techniques, especially if they're better. And if anything goes wrong, I can always just go back to my original technique."
Yuan then said, "I don't have any body refining techniques better than the Great Mammoth Body Refinent technique at hand, but I'll help you find one."
"Thanks, brother."
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice resounded.
"I was wondering why this place slled so bad despite my frequent cleaning," the voice said coldly. "Turns out soone brought trash ho."
"Who?!"
Both Yuan and Kulas were startled by the new voice, even shocked, as neither had been able to sense their presence until they spoke aloud. Hell, even now, they couldn't sense them and had to follow the sound of their voice to locate them.
When they turned their heads and saw a slender figure slowly approaching them from afar, their eyes widened with disbelief.
"Y-You! You're still alive?!" Kulas cried out, his voice trembling with shock.
Yuan also recognized their face instantly and swallowed nervously before muttering in a dazed voice, "Ren Xia?"
