Chapter 32 - Chapter 32: Creation After Creation - 2

His eyes had permanently changed from brown to lightning blue, glowing with a strange intensity.

His irises seemed filled with blue and white stars, as if energy itself revolved around them, mesmerizing anyone who dared to look directly into his gaze.

Just as he deactivated his newly acquired ability, the one that allowed him to actively perceive the nature of everything within his field of vision, a system prompt appeared before him.

[You have Awakened the Unique Ability: Eyes of Truth]

---

[Unique Ability: Eyes of Truth]

[Type: Growth]

[Effects]

-Active Effect: Allows you to comprehend and understand the true nature of anything in its essence and existence, whether physical, non-physical, or spiritual, at a speed corresponding to your mental and comprehension capabilities.

{Note: You must be looking at the target to comprehend it, and the longer you focus on the target, the deeper the effectiveness of the ability becomes.}

-Passive Effect: Grants perfect vision even in the absence of light.

-Passive Effect: Significantly increases your charm and grants a persuasive aura.

-Passive Effect: Increases your perception by 10%

"Ha, my eyes feel heavy and sore," Ethan muttered as he rubbed the corners of his eyes.

"Yeah, I hope so," Ethan muttered.

His ability wasn't even active, yet the effects of merely possessing it caused such discomfort.

If it was like this when inactive, how bad would it be when he actively used it?

"That's good enough for now," Ethan muttered.

"Let's create more abilities... Begin creation."

"Telekinesis — the ability to influence, move, and control matter without physical contact, purely through mental capability. Make it a growth-type ability, and ensure its initial capabilities match my current level," Ethan stated.

"Yeah."

A few seconds passed as the codex secreted the ability.

Ethan felt his head grow heavy for a few moments before it returned to normal.

At the same time, a system prompt appeared before him.

[You have awakened the ability 'Telekinesis']

[You have awakened the special physical attribute 'Focus']

---

[Ability: Telekinesis]

[Type: Growth]

[Effects]

-Active Effect: The ability to move, manipulate, or control matter using only the power of the mind. The range of the ability depends on your 'Focus'.

-Passive Effect: Grants the ability to sense psionic fluctuations in your surroundings.

---

"Let's create two more Focus-related abilities, shall we?"

"Firstly, Telepathy — the ability to read, project, or communicate thoughts directly between minds regardless of race or species, including inhuman beings.

Secondly, Empathy — the ability to sense, read, and alter the emotions of any being, regardless of race or species, including inhuman beings.

Just like before, the range of capabilities for both Telepathy and Empathy will depend on the range of my own capabilities and my Focus attribute.

Both will be growth-type abilities, meaning they'll grow stronger the more I train them."

It costs 300,000,000 Karmic Energy to create both Telepathy and Empathy.

Just like before, a few seconds after the creation and integration processes were complete, Ethan felt slight discomfort during the integration.

The codex explained that it was because he was integrating more than one Psionic ability at the same time, which caused his head to ache slightly.

After a few minutes, the pain receded, though his head still felt somewhat heavy, as if a weight had been pressing on it for hours.

[Ability: Telepathy]

[Type: Growth]

[Effects]

-Active Effect: The ability to read, project, and communicate thoughts directly through the mind with any sentient being, whether human or non-human, regardless of species or race. The range of the ability depends on your 'Focus'.

---

[Ability: Empathy]

[Type: Growth]

[Effects]

-Active Effect: Grants the ability to sense, perceive, and influence the emotions of any being, human or non-human, regardless of species or nature. The range of the ability depends on your 'Focus'.

"This is great. These abilities will help in all sorts of situations, and telekinesis can even be used offensively once I increase my 'Focus' attribute," Ethan muttered.

He made his way to the Dome of Resources, where he stored all sorts of materials for his personal use.

He entered a large, wide hall labeled [Energy Crystals]. Inside, dozens of containers held tons of different types of energy crystals.

He approached one of the containers labeled [Mana Stones], which contained cobalt-blue crystals of various shapes and sizes.

Grabbing a palm-sized mana stone, he returned to the Dome of Energy and entered the room labeled [Mana].

Upon entering, he saw a mist of cobalt-blue energy permeating the entire room, with blue crystals growing in every corner, including the ceiling.

Dozens of small-dimensional gates were scattered throughout the room, each connecting to different locations from which Mana was being drawn into the Dome of Energy.

"Begin creation... create the attunement to the energy of Mana and integrate it with me," he commanded.

"Yeah, it's fine… for now, Mana is already more than enough," Ethan said.

In the next instant, the process of creation began.

A few minutes passed, and just seconds before he completed his attunement to Mana, he reached his limit.

To gain attunement to any additional energy, he would need to increase his power significantly.

He then sat down inside the Mana room and began using the [Boundless Sky Mind Sutra] as the surrounding mana gathered at the base of his dantian.

Once he had accumulated enough Mana, he activated the [Sacred Heart Lotus Formation] and began creating a Mana Core in the shape of a lotus.

Inside his inner world, beside the Shadow Essence Lotus, another cobalt-blue lotus began to manifest.

As soon as it appeared, the same phenomenon that occurred with the Shadow Essence Lotus happened with the Mana Lotus: an invisible connection was formed between the Mana Lotus and the Incomplete Domination Seed.

The system prompt appeared before him:

[You have formed the Mana Lotus]

[Your Mana Reserves Increased: 0 → 20]

Just like the Shadow Essence Lotus, the Mana Lotus also became a part of his cultivation.

Of course, he didn't cultivate it directly, but, just like the Shadow Essence, the mana also influenced him in ways other than direct cultivation.

In Mana's case, it manifested as magic.

Since both the Shadow Essence Lotus and the Mana Lotus had become part of his cultivation base, similar to the Qi Lotus, they became synchronized with each other.

As his cultivation level increased, their reserves also increased correspondingly.

"I should return and reassemble my cultivation," Ethan said.

He then placed his hand over Kagetsu's head as he spoke. "Can you teach me how to travel through shadows?"

He closed his eyes and let Kagetsu transmit information on how to traverse shadows and cross dimensions through the special connection they shared.

Since he had gained Shadow Essence, it was possible for him to travel through shadows just like Kagetsu.

In a few seconds, he learned how to move through shadows, but it was too complicated to perform like Kagetsu.

He would need practice. So he simply asked Kagetsu to return him to the sect's cultivation chambers.

He still had around five hours left in the day, which he used to reassemble his cultivation.

By the end of the day, he had restored his cultivation with much greater efficiency than before, experiencing a significant increase in his physical attributes.

[You have reassembled your cultivation base]

"This is amazing! My attributes have grown as if I had attained all nine Qi natures. Even my energy reserves have increased, and the power increase per cultivation level has doubled!" Ethan muttered as he opened his system status.
