Chapter 878: Trained

The Adjutors werent without weaknesses. The most glaring of which was that they couldnt have any other Linked Insect for combat purposes if they were linked to one. This wasnt really wasnt much of a detriment considering there were still other methods to tame insects to use them as minions. They simply couldnt operate them with extreme precision, and they also couldnt use them as transportation. Without being linked there was no way to hide inside an Insect. This basically stopped the use of a Warp Worm as a method to travel underground, but it was still possible to ride on the back of a large landbound or aerial insect.

There were also a few who might find it weird to have the Adjutor stored inside their own Hive Body, which then made the butler following them around something of a liability. The Adjutors have next to no combat power and besides their capability as a computer, they can only perform simple activities that a servant, or butler, could handle.

With the help of the researchers on the Inner World, Sage rapidly figured out a method to cheat. The Timeless Eyes allowed him to view the Crux of a subject very quickly, showing him all the different transformations required for the Essence Seal. Then he entered all of these into the Adjutor and used its computing power to track the pattern of change. Once the timing and series of change was deciphered, then he could use the Adjutor as a reference so he could focus on properly forming the Essence Seal. In a way the Timeless Eyes told him what buttons to push and the biocomputer told him what order to press them and when. The analogy sort of falls apart at the end as the actual creation of the Essence Seal is more like carving a sculpture completely within ones own minds eye and then using Qi to create it in the real world.

It took some practice to get the hang of it, but soon enough he mastered the creation of Essence Seals and moved on to learning to properly use them. This took a bit longer, but he eventually mastered the technique Release the Masterpiece. Even so, he didnt end the trial yet. Once he completed it with cheats, he spent the time in practice to learn how to do it without any help. It turns out his estimate was wrong. Even after having already perfected the technique with assistance it still took him two centuries to finally master the technique. He only trained with it a few hours each day, but even if he spent more time he probably wouldnt have finished in half the time.

After spending so much time, he still finished the trial before even reaching the halfway point. He wasted three hundred years to fully study and master the technique in every way, yet that still wasnt half of the seven hundred he had to finish the task.

Its just my luck that I worry about something for so long and it turns out to be way too simple to complete.

Thinking over it further, he realized that perhaps it was only so simple because hed put so much effort into worrying and planning to tackle it. Instead of feeling cheated he should feel validated by all the effort he put into it. Even if he could go back in time and had a perfect prediction of how it would go, he still wouldnt dare to take the trial lightly. Once his Nascent Soul was drawn inside, he had immediately recognized that he was trapped and the Stone Tablet really did have the power to destroy him.

After succeeding at the trial, he walked out to greet Lang Feiyan and she was ecstatic. None of them had to enact the contingency plan and they were all eager to get back home. Theyd been away for more than three hundred years, but it was still better than being gone for seven hundred. Many of their friends and family had passed on, but they could reunite with all who were Cultivators.

It might seem like the whole of the Lang Clan were Cultivators, but that wasnt true. Many enjoyed living a relaxed life as a member of a powerful clan. Even if they didnt cultivate there were plenty of other ways for them to make a living, especially since they got plenty of free handouts from the clan. Of course, even the weakest of them still had a Jade Sky Mantis body. Well, to be more specific they had a similar variation. Just like his two wives had slightly different bodies than himself and hed also made changes to it since then, the Lang Clan members had also modified themselves. Those who reached a high rank in the clan were given permission to learn the true Merge technique and could make their own changes for their own personal families. There were also those who married normal humans or demi-humans and created various hybrids. Human Seals prevented any excessive prejudices or bullying to happen and if they were unhappy with their body with enough achievements they could also get the right to Merge and Mutate one more to their liking.

In fact, the new technique that Sage, as well as some of the researchers had mastered, was very extraordinary in these regards.
