The Peak Sovereign Bone Relic continued to grow, while the soul within it advanced alongside its body.
Yet the nascent being could do nothing except passively accept John's modifications.
Now that John possessed mastery over myriad arts, he accelerated the growth of the bone relic while engraving powerful restrictions into it.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the Peak Sovereign Bone Relic grew half a body.
Its form continued to develop and perfect itself until a complete physical body finally emerged.
As the body neared completion, the soul within it also began to mature.
Gradually, a nameless and unknown Origin Venerable was born.
A faint spark of awareness appeared in its eyes, though they remained filled primarily with confusion.
At that moment, John's hands abruptly formed a seal.
The instant the imprint manifested, the unknown Origin Venerable's body collapsed inward, while its soul was forcibly bound to John's brand.
