The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 569 Earth Attunement in just two days

Cain frowned as he felt a hundred voices echoing simultaneously in his mind, all carrying deep and profound knowledge. Luckily, his willpower was already at the Peak of the Apotheosis Realm, so he was able to endure without a problem.

Just like Anark said, imparting the Inheritance of Spirit took a day. Once Anark stopped sending the stream of sky-blue lightning into Cainʼs mind, he was able to relax. It did not take long for Cainʼs relaxed expression to turn into shock and awe as he went through all the knowledge in his mind.

”¡Incredible!”

That was the only way Cain could describe the Primordial Path. The first level was more complicated and had dozens, or even hundreds, of times more information than the entire Void Crimson Cultivation Techniques!

ʼNo wonder he said even with talent, it would take me several years to just reach the first step of the first level.ʼ

As Cain comprehended just how complicated the Primordial Path was, he couldnʼt help but sigh as he understood that attaining the first level would be impossible in just two months. Still, there was no hesitation on his face, as that was the right path.

After exiting this place, it might take him a long time to attain the first level of the Primordial Path, but he could not leave Zamuel and the others to die after they put their trust in him.

Anark saw the determination and focus in Cainʼs eyes and softly nodded before continuing.

”As you already know, the Foundation Stage of the Primordial Path is Elemental Harmony. You must establish a deep, intrinsic harmony between your body and the basic elemental forces of nature, which are Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. Once you can harmonize with these elements, you will be able to perceive the natural energy and harness it into your body.

This will enhance your physical strength, agility, stamina, reflexes, perception, and durability, and upon higher levels, allow you to display the power of the Elemental Laws through your flesh and blood.”

If anyone in Aether were to hear that last part, they would be shocked, as the Laws and body refinement were by themselves different paths, one developing powerful spells and the other an immensely powerful body.

However, that was one of the keys behind the Primordial Raceʼs tremendous power, as they were able to generate synergy between different forces and deploy a power higher than the sum of its parts.

Cain had already understood the principles behind Anarkʼs words, so he silently nodded and allowed the Primordial to continue.

”To train the Foundation Stage, you would normally need to visit different embodiments where the Elemental Laws have reached an extreme and then carefully adapt to them. Luckily, I can use my power to generate those environments in this place and regulate them for your training.”

Anarkʼs eyes began to glow, and soon, a massive plane manifested beneath Cainʼs feet. It was a rocky terrain with no sense of vegetation or any other forms of life.

”You were born on the earth and have lived most of your life on its surface, so it will be the first element we will approach. Follow the Elemental Harmonyʼs principles, and erase the distinction between earth and your body, harnessing its power through your flesh and blood.”

Cain nodded, understanding what he needed to do. He descended into the arid terrain and adopted a meditative stance as he focused on the earth beneath him, following the principles of the Primordial Path.

Silence reigned as Anark focused on Cain, its gargantuan eyes full of excitement and with a flash of nervousness. He had indeed felt the soul aura of a Primordial in Cain, but there was a chance he could have been mistaken. Luckily, this training would help him learn the truth.

If Cain managed to train the Inheritance of Spirit, he would indeed have the Primordial Essence of a member of the Primordial Race.

Hours passed without any change, but Anark did not grow nervous. After all, even for a highly talented individual, it would take weeks before the first sign of Elemental Harmony was shown.

Thatʼs why the Primordialʼs eyes widened with pure shock when he felt how Cainʼs presence slowly began to fade and merge with the earth beneath him. That proved that Cian had the soul aura of a member of the Primordial Race, but that was not the important part.

The speed at which Cain was advancing was simply too fast!

ʼMaybe itʼs just a flux. Yeah, that must be it; after all, no one can be so talented.ʼ

Anark had no animosity against Cain; it was just that the speed of this one did not make sense, and he could not understand it. Unfortunately, his thoughts proved wrong as before the second day ended, the essence of the earth began to infuse into Cainʼs body. Visible changes occurred as Cainʼs skin became tougher, and the change rapidly spread across his body.

”Earth Attunement in just two days. Amazing!”

Even though Cain had just achieved the most basic state of Earth Attunement, the fact that it took him only two days was beyond shocking for the Primordial. Luckily, Cain was too immersed in his training and had shut down his sense of hearing, so he did not hear the exclamation of Anark and carried on training.

As the days passed, the earth essence flooded deeper and deeper into Cainʼs body, going through every part of him, until finally, on the tenth day, there was no difference between him and the ground beneath his feet.

It was at this point that Cain opened his eyes. The visual changes on his skin faded, but he could feel the ruggedness of it. But that was the least important thing as he felt as if he had become one with the earth and could perceive everything that came in contact with it.

ʼAmazing.ʼ

The feeling of being one with the earth was truly wondrous but also feeble as if it would break the moment he lost his concentration. Cain took a moment to relax as the connection with the earth broke, but he did not worry as he could regain that harmony by simply focusing.
