I'll Surpass The MC

Mystic Bone Art!

Inala collected the bones of both the Rockatrice and the two Centingers, accumulating a hill-sized amount. He planned to use it for his next task.

There was a valid reason he stayed behind and sent Asaeya with baby Gannala first, despite the various risks involved. It was all for the Attribute!

Cure! Attribute! Weapon! Pet! Seat of Transcendence!

Among the five Major Treasures shown in Sumatra Chronicles, the Attribute was the most suitable for Inala. He failed to obtain the Cure, but even if he did, that would have been a waste in his possession.

Resha was the most suitable to possess it. The reason wasn't limited to their talent and specialisation, but also their mental tendencies.

Resha was someone who faced a situation head-on while Inala worked his way around and tackled it only after gaining enough leeway.

The Major Treasure of Weapon would be an absolute waste in Inala's hands. He knew it best. Therefore, even though he would fight for the Weapon's ownership, it wasn't his priority.

His Primary Nature would be elevated to a whole other level once he gains the Attribute. And with it, he'll stand on the same plane as Resha.

There existed two cultivation paths in Sumatra Continent. One was the path of Pranic Beasts while the second was the path of Human cultivators.

Human Cultivators could reach the Life Stage and possess many lives. And once they reach the peak of cultivation, they could become a Transcendent and ascend into a Transcendent World.

It was a necessity to reach the peak of cultivation to become a Transcendent.

In contrast, the Pranic Beasts could only grow until their maturity. The strength they had at maturity was equivalent to a Human cultivator at the peak of the Body Stage. That was their limit in the traditional sense.

But the Pranic Beast's path didn't end there. There were two ways to overcome their racial limitations.

First was Mutation!

As long as a Pranic Beast achieves certain conditions, it would mutate and become many times stronger than the rest of its brethren. A famous example was Asaeya's Grim Knell.

Its base form was the Death Knell, a Beginner Silver Grade Pranic Beast. Once it mutates, it becomes the Death Knell, a Mutated Expert Silver Grade Pranic Beast.

Not only did its strength experience a boom from the Beginner Silver Grade to the Expert Silver Grade, but it also gained its Secondary Nature. This was the first way in which a Pranic Beast escapes its racial limitation.

Second was Evolution!

When a Pranic Beast creates a Ravaged Tribe and nurtures said Tribe from one generation to another, there would eventually come a point when the Ravaged Tribe becomes Clansmen.

When this happens, it creates a synergetic effect on its master's Prana, causing the Pranic Beast to evolve. This was the method through which the Empyrean Tusks attained their Expert Gold Grade Pranic Beast status.

Maybe when Sumatra Continent formed, there only existed Iron Grade Pranic Beasts. Through countless variables, some of them gained intelligence, using it to create a Ravaged Tribe.

Eventually, when they succeeded, an Iron Grade Pranic Beast evolved to become a Silver Grade Pranic Beast. And through mating, they increased their numbers until eventually, the entirety of that particular Pranic Beast race advanced to the Silver Grade.

Step by step, some of them entered the Gold Grade until eventually, the Empyrean Tentacles created a path to reach the Mystic Grade, gaining Sumatra Continent's support to become its blessed race.

The peak of the Pranic Beast path was the Mystic Grade. Hence, Mystic Grade Pranic Beasts could become a Transcendent and ascend to the Transcendent World.

After obtaining the relevant information from the previous Gannala, Inala got to thinking. Currently, his strength was equivalent to a Silver Grade Pranic Beast.

And as a Human cultivator, if he reaches the 10-Life Stage and becomes a Transcendent, wouldn't his Grade as a Transcendent be the Silver Grade?

What about Resha? Currently, he had the power of an Empyrean Tusk, meaning a Gold Grade power. Therefore, when Resha becomes a Transcendent, wouldn't he be at the Gold Grade as a Transcendent?

What about Brangara then? Despite being a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast, he could also tread the cultivator path. Therefore, when he reaches the peak, he'll be at the peak of both paths, becoming a Mystic Grade Transcendent unlike any other.

If the Boar King gets his hands on the Seat of Transcendence, he would be able to become a Transcendent immediately after. In that case, he would head to the Transcendent World, and kill all the Mammoth Clansmen that had ascended until now.

And once he kills the Mammoth Ancestor, he might even figure out a way to return to Sumatra Continent. By then, a single thought from him and every single Empyrean Tusk and Mammoth Clansman would drop dead.

Maybe it might take time or maybe it will happen before Inala dies of old age. In any case, the danger existed.

Hence, the only way for Inala to elevate his potential and level the playing ground in response to all possibilities was to tread into the Pranic Beast's path of cultivation.

Through his immune system—the Empyrean Zingers—Inala would be able to create his own Ravaged Tribe. As long as his Ravaged Tribe continues to mature, a beneficial effect would happen to his Prana, since he was their master.

When that happens, once Inala obtains the Attribute, he will become a true Empyrean Zinger, instead of just being a cultivator with the power of an Empyrean Zinger.

With his Primary Nature of Royalty, there was a legit possibility. Moreover, he had all the information to make it a reality. Currently, the Empyrean Zinger was at the peak of its evolutionary path, as evidenced by the prefix 'Empyrean' to its name. Therefore, once Inala succeeds, he'll evolve into a whole new race. His Primary Nature would experience an evolution too.

The Mystic Skill Creator gave him a fighting chance, allowing him to plan and prepare himself to eventually make that possibility a reality. Obtaining the Empyrean Extraction Prime Skill only allowed him to shorten that path.

When he first saw the Rooster Tribe, Inala felt a spark of inspiration. But back then, he only thought of making the Rooster Tribe obedient to the Mammoth Clan. But over the three years of stay in the region and accumulating significant information regarding the Ravaged Tribes, the spark of inspiration condensed into a concrete idea.

Why should only the Boar King exercise the benefits of both cultivation paths? Since Inala was working hard to condense the Boar King's Tertiary Nature of Cultivator in baby Gannala, he might as well change his goals too.

Maybe his Primary Nature had a strong influence on his mental growth. He wasn't sure, but one thing was certain.

He was already a completely different individual from four years ago when he joined this race for Major Treasures.
