Among the billions of races in Sumatra, only two races were regarded as Deities—Empyrean Tusks and Empyrean Snappers.
Mystic Empyrean Tentacles too were regarded as Deities, but only the Mystic Grade variant. Ven the Gold Empyrean Tentacle, an Expert Gold Grade Pranic Beast wasn't considered a Deity.
This status was special, reserved only for two creatures. They were special, displaying pinnacle evolution potential in all fields. But the primary reason was simple—their capabilities exceeded Gold Grade.
An Empyrean Tusk was a walking reserve of resources, possessing multiple biomes in its body where life could exist. Mammoth Clansmen lived in its body while it accessed their thoughts to exist as an omniscient being.
Though Empyrean Tusks were killed by the Boar King, it took a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast to kill them. To date, no existence below Mystic Grade managed to kill an Empyrean Tusk in a one-on-one fight.
Swarm tactics on the level of a Minor Crisis was required at the very least to threaten an Empyrean Tusk. This was when it couldn't asshuman form.
But now, if a swarm were to target it, the Empyrean Tusk could flee in human form. After becoming a small target, it bechard to target the Empyrean Tusk like before. This single variable made killing an Empyrean Tusk incomprehensibly harder.
This was why Brangara didn't bother targeting the Empyrean Tusks in the Attributed Region, because he wasn't confident of killing them until he fully grasped his abilities. Besides, despite growing stronger and now possessing a Secondary Nature, all the Empyrean Tusks were afraid of him.
This meant that they would constantly focus on running away. In human form, with the aid of Internal Inertial Gravity, an Empyrean Tusk was annoying to catch up to. Even he would have to spend a considerable tto catch up to one.
"Then, what should we do?" Brana expressed his frustration, "When we face the Mammoth Clan again, I don't want to beca helpless target. I want to be strong enough to face an Empyrean Tusk and win!"
"You will," Brangara said in confidence, "Unlike an Empyrean Tusk, you can progress through the Life Stage. Once you reach the 6-Life Stage, you'll be able to fight on par with an Empyrean Tusk. And once you get the hang of using Voracious Nature, you can arm yourself with suitable Natures to counter your opponents."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBrana was already at the 2-Life Stage. With the growth speed of an Empyrean Boar, cultivating was never an issue for him. He could breeze through the Life Stage as long as he had sufficient food.
"That's our advantage," Brangara explained, "Currently, our Wean Clan is weaker, but that's only because we've begun our journey. The Mammoth Clan is nearing the end of its journey, so they're stronger than us by a large extent. However, it's just a matter of tbefore we reign supreme."
"Yes!" Brana was happy to hear it as he ran towards one of the rooms of the palace, intending to converse with his siblings.
Brangara stared at the back of his son with a faint smile, 'He's growing well. He has a good head above his shoulders. He's still young, and is controlled by his emotions. But once he overcomes that, he'll becstrong.'
"Let's see, what was I supposed to do now?" Brangara frowned a bit before recalling, "Ah, I've to catch sNatures."
Tertiary Nature—Major Treasure!
Major Treasure—Tangible Natures!
This was a ground-breaking power that broke all semblance of logic, because it was a Major Treasure. Just like every single Major Treasure, Tangible Natures was a power that exceeded the power system of Sumatra.
In the past eleven months, Brangara had been experimenting with it to learn the ins and outs of this power. In the end, he concluded that his Wean Clan would have unsurpassable potential. The reason was simple.
Through Voracious Nature, Brangara could consthe Primary Natures of all Pranic Beasts and condense them in his Astral World in the form of a Tangible Nature. Astral World was an evolved version of Astral Chart, but there was a large difference here.
Primary Natures were suppressed and stored in the Astral Chart. But in the Astral World, they could live as Tangible Natures and be influenced by Brangara. The longer they lived here, the stronger the influence on them, making it easier for Brangara to control them.
And as they lived, they'd develop Skills and PrSkills, allowing Brangara to use them all once he started to activate the respective Tangible Nature. But the greatest aspect of his abilities lay in his Primary Nature.
Voracious Cultivator was a fusion of Voracious Nature and Cultivator. It had two aspects to it. First of all, it allowed Brangara to cultivate through the Life Stage. The second aspect was what caused Transcendents to pay attention to him, making him a target for multiple Continents.
The effect of Cultivator could be unleashed upon all the Tangible Natures in his Astral World. Basically, if he had an Empyrean Tusk as a Tangible Nature, by roaming around the Astral World and consuming the resources there, the Empyrean Tusk would grow. And once its accumulations reach a certain point, it can enter the 2-Life Stage.
Basically, when Brangara activates that Tangible Nature, he isn't using a Nature of Internal Inertial Gravity, but a stacked Internal Inertial Gravity. The power would be on par with a 2-
Life Stage Empyrean Tusk.
Voracious Cultivator, Astral World, and Major Treasure worked harmoniously as one to create Tangible Natures that Brangara could employ for his use.
Astral World was only able to store 100 Natures, the sas Astral Chart. But this was for unique Natures. If an Empyrean Tusk Tangible Nature reaches the 2-Life Stage or beyond, it would still be considered as one unique Nature, occupying only one slot of a hundred.
After all, this Empyrean Tusk Tangible Nature lived as a stacked body. Secondly, the size of Astral World wasn't fixed. It varied depending on the size of the Tangible Natures.
Basically, if Brangara had multiple Tangible Natures of Empyrean Tusks in his Astral World, to accommodate such massive creatures, his Astral World would becmassive, spanning dozens of kilometres to allow the Empyrean Tusk Tangible Natures to graze around and live similar to their lives on Sumatra.
If the Natures all belonged to Iron Grade Pranic Beasts, the Tangible Natures would be small, not requiring much space. Astral World would shrink in that scenario.
Currently, Astral World was small as Brangara had already used up all his Natures of Internal Inertial Gravity. He would have to consat least one Empyrean Tusk to rapidly expand the size of his Astral World.
After all, a bigger Astral World meant more resources for the Tangible Natures to consand use. These resources were condensed by Brangara's Prana, but they could only be used by the Tangible Natures. He wouldn't be able to use the Prana stored in the Astral World.
It didn't matter much as once Brangara enters the Life Stage once again, he'd have more than enough Prana to use even powerful Gold Grade Natures.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm Tangible Natures were the product of a Major Treasure. Brangara could fuse a Tangible Nature in the body of another creature. This had a limitation in that the Grade of the Tangible Nature cannot exceed the target's Grade.Brangara could place an Iron or Silver Grade Tangible Nature in the body of a Centinger, as it was a Silver Grade Pranic Beast. But he cannot place a Gold Grade Tangible Nature on a Centinger. Doing so would overburden the Centinger's body and cause it to explode.
The second limitation was that he could only place one Tangible Nature in the body of a third party. Through his experiments, Brangara figured out that only individuals capable of fusing with a Minor Treasure can handle holding a Tangible Nature.
This Tangible Nature will exist as their trump card. Of course, once it takes action, it would dissipate. Similar to the Natures in Astral Chart, all Tangible Natures were one-tuse abilities, whether it was Brangara or someone else using them.
But when Brangara uses all of his three Natures synchronously, the Tangible Natures could stack bodies and progress through the Life Stage. And when they reach the 10-Life Stage, there is a nonzero chance they could fuse into a singular entity.
Tangible Treasure!
When it becomes a Tangible Treasure, it won't dissipate, no matter how many times it is used. It was this that gave Brangara the confidence of strengthening the Wean Clan. He planned to cultivate Iron Grade Tangible Natures into a Tangible Treasure.
Even this would cost an astronomical sum of resources. And obviously, as the Tangible Natures were stacking bodies, they suffered from the srisk as a Life Stage cultivator. If there was the slightest defect in their stack, they'd implode.
This risk increased exponentially the higher the stacked bodies became. Following that, the success rate of a 10-Life Stage Tangible Nature becoming a Tangible Treasure was a mirror of a 10-Life Stage cultivator becoming a Transcendent.
Hence, even Brangara could only afford to experiment with Iron Grade Tangible Natures. No, not just Iron Grade Natures. He would be targeting Natures from Beginner Iron Grade Pranic Beasts or at most Intermediate Iron Grade.
Similar to how the Royal Zinger didn't dare spawn a Zinger Aristocrat or the Gold Grade variants, the Celestial Boar too didn't dare experiment with stronger Natures. After all, the production costs would bankrupt them into despondency.
However, as long as Brangara focused on Iron Grade Tangible Natures, once he creates a Tangible Treasure, he could give a permanent power to his children that would give them an edge over others.
He himself could use these Tangible Treasures to avoid wasting precious Tangible Natures. This way, the Wean Clansmen would becsignificantly powerful individuals.
Their starting point was already Gold Grade, with rapid growth and the capability to enter the Life Stage. With a suitable Tangible Treasure, they'll becunstoppable. It was why Brangara didn't target the Mammoth Clan.
After all, if he stays put for enough time, his Wean Clan would becstrong enough to face the Mammoth Clan. Following that, Brangara only needed to bother with pinnacle existences like the Royal Zinger.
No one else would be able to harm his family.
