Chapter 66: Techniques
Divine Breath. It was only a supplementary technique as an Alchemist, but it can also be used in battle. Given that it was taught only to those practicing the Instruction of Divine Paradise, outsiders considered it to be their signature technique. Divine Breath is an interesting technique as its a combination of Body Training and a Qi Technique that can be used in battle or to help with Professions. As Sage read more he learned that it was a form of body hardening and muscle training that used a unique Qi circulation path along with opening specific Qi Pores. The training was focused on toughening the lungs, throat, tongue and mouth, along with increasing the power of the lungs. The Qi Technique requires the opened Qi Pores in the lungs to let large amounts of Qi flow in. The description in the manual covered all these areas, but Divine Breath was truly the name of the technique itself.
Divine Breath as a technique uses Qi to compress air as its drawn into the lungs. As the air was compressed more and more was drawn in. From the description and diagram, Sage had a guess it created a low pressure zone which acted like a vacuum. Otherwise there was no way so much air could be drawn in with a single breath, the volume of a persons lungs didnt increase after all. Once the air was drawn in and compressed, it could be used to assist an Alchemist, or Blacksmith, by acting as a bellows. Normally, the flames would be fed by large amounts of Qi, but with Divine Breath the heat was easier to control with a much lower expenditure of energy.
In combat the energy use was much higher as the air was released in high volume, releasing high pressure winds. At higher levels of mastery, Divine Breath users can even control the released air to form blades, walls, or other useful shapes. The most common use was to create flames and then imbue them into the Divine Breath. A Cultivator using a flame technique would be able to accomplish the same, but Divine Breath improved efficiency by many times, just like when used for Professions.
Whoa, fire breath! That is not what I was expecting when I read the name of it.
Sage found the Instruction of Divine Paradise was a far higher level of Alchemical techniques than what hed learned in the past. It was a shame that Alchemy required a lot of time and large amounts of resources to train in. At the moment he was eager to learn Seals and return to that cave dwelling, he didnt want to devote years to Alchemy right now. Unfortunately, the Instructions of Divine Paradise will have to wait for later. On the other hand, Divine Breath was useful as a combat technique so he put it into his planned training regimen.
From the description and methods for Cerulean Cloud, Sages guess was that it acted like an anaesthetic for Spirit Sense, numbing it when it entered the neon gas to create a blind spot. Just like when he was trying to find Twin Ringed Serpents Egg. He couldnt sense the egg, only that there was a space missing from his senses.
The last Ancestral technique of the Twin Ringed Serpent was simultaneously the most and least interesting. It was called Soul Spawn, the technique which made the Twin Ringed Soul Serpent its most fearsome. The Serpents eggs are all born inert, that is to say they never hatch on their own. They arent unfertilized as they dont require mating, instead the eggs are nearly a clone of the Serpent. When the Twin Ringed Serpent is facing death, it can choose to abandon its body. Just like when Sage was fighting it, the soul leaves and enters the egg. The egg then becomes active and will incubate and mature to match the characteristics of the Serpents soul. Once it hatches, the Serpent is born with a brand new body. It means a whole new lifespan, but it also means starting back over collecting energy and training muscles. The Serpent is reborn, but as a child once again.
True reproduction is performed by collecting an excess of soul energy with the Twin Soul. The Twin Ringed Soul Serpent splits off a permanent version of the Twin Soul, imparting its Ancestral Memories along with the traits and tendencies it hopes will make the next generation better. The new soul is no longer a twin, forming a unique identity as it enters one of the eggs. Unlike the normal Twin Soul this doesnt just split the soul in half, instead leaving the original Serpent with barely a fifth of its original strength. The Twin Ringed Soul Serpent can save itself from death in most cases so its no wonder their reproduction is so slow and difficult.
Sage planned on learning all the techniques from the Twin Ringed Soul Serpents memories as it provide a stealthy attack and defense. If he could hide from Spirit Sense he just needed a normal level technique to hide his appearance and sound. Mmm, someday I might just be a ninja!
