Birth of the Demonic Sword - Chapter 786

Chapter 786
The Elders wanted to discuss the matter further, but Noah had already made his mind . Of course, their doubts didn't concern Noah . Instead, they were worried that pointing out inevitable mistakes could put him in danger .

However, Noah knew far too well how troublesome it was to obtain the advantages of a magical beast . Imitating wasn't enough . Only a complete fusion could create a being similar to the ancestors of the natives .

That was merely impossible for entities that had already started to discover their individuality . The personalities of the cultivators would become something more than unique at that point, making it impossible to find a suitable match for a fusion .

Also, there was the issue of the instincts, which couldn't be ignored . After all, that problem had been the reason why they had managed to defeat the natives rather easily .

There wasn't a solution to those problems . For example, Noah had been able to find a match with the Cursed Dragon because he could use his personality as a standard . Yet, he couldn't find any species that suited his individuality .

As for the instincts, only a powerful mind could control and wield them . There wasn't a way around them .

There were also problems concerning the inscription method to use and the various calculations to make before proceeding with the fusion . Noah had managed to complete the testing phase rather quickly due to the Divine Deduction technique . Instead, the other forces would have to sacrifice a lot of assets just to obtain acceptable results .

The way Noah saw it, fusing with a magical beast once walking the path of the individuality was just impossible, which meant that no heroic asset would be able to obtain that power .



The only method that he could think of was to trigger the transformation and then return to a human form . There would be other issues connected with that procedure, and the outcome would be a bit weaker than him, but there didn't seem to be any other solution .

The Elders left the tent after deciding with Noah how the trades would work . The three factions could only send one envoy at the time and have private discussions with him at a price that had to be agreed beforehand .

Of course, the powerhouses weren't allowed in the meetings . Only cultivators with a similar or lower level to Noah could be envoys .

Noah resumed his meditation as he waited for the first envoy to arrive .

It took a while for the organizations to prepare questions and set a price with the Elders . Many even expressed complaints about how the Hive wanted to handle the situation . Nevertheless, that was the power of a monopoly, and a few resources were a small investment if they helped to avoid issues in the upcoming experiments .

A few days later, the Shandal Empire decided to send its envoy .

Noah lowered the defenses of his tent only to find a tall man at the peak of the fourth rank crossing the entrance while failing to keep a proud expression . Even the citizens of the Empire felt lacking when in front of a monster like Noah .




The idea of the Empire was quite crude . Its experts wanted to purify the compound and turn it into a core material for a body-nourishing method .

Noah listed a series of issues after he thought about that approach for a while . The biggest problem was that the cultivators training in that method would remain human beings, which meant giving up to the devouring properties of the beasts .

"You can't hope to obtain huge results with a non-invasive approach . Also, the quantity of compound necessary in the fifth rank would be immense . " Noah explained, trying not to reveal more than he should .

The envoy left after his answer . It seemed that the Empire had paid a small price just to test if it was going in the right direction . Its experts would gather again now and request a meeting after they thought about something different .

A week later, Noah found himself lowering the defenses of his tent for Faith .

"I know . Even my superiors think that something is going on between us . " Faith said as she sat on his same mat and revealed a playful smirk .



Noah put that matter in the back of his mind and focused on Faith's explanation .

The Council wanted to use the hybrids as a material to create formations on the bodies of its cultivators . Such formations would grow alongside them and feed on magical beasts as if they were some sort of parasites giving strength to its hosts in exchange for food .

Noah had to admit that the idea was interesting, even if it seemed impossible to accomplish due to various issues . However, he wasn't an expert when it came to formations, so he simply listed the problems that the Council could encounter if it used that approach .

First of all, a formation able to grow was akin to a living being, even if only in a form reliant on its host . Something like that was bound to have a will, and it could act against the cultivator in a desperate attempt for freedom .

Also, it appeared unstable as a method . The Council would need to develop a second formation to contain the parasite and force it to work according to the host's will . When considering the fact that the cultivators would still need a different body-nourishing method to improve, that approach seemed feasible only by a small number of elites .

Faith left after his answers, and Noah had to wait a month before another envoy knocked at his tent . The Empire had sent someone again, but it had a more precise idea at that time . Its experts wanted to create organic inscribed items from the hybrids and transplant them in their cultivators .

Noah felt shocked to hear that . He didn't even know that such inscription methods existed . Yet, there was a problem with the rejection of foreign tissues . Also, the hybrids weren't an infinite resource, which made that approach elitist .

After that meeting, the Elbas family finally decided to send someone, and Noah stood up when he saw June crossing the entrance of his tent .

"They said that you would just trick anyone belonging to the Royal family," June said .

Noah sealed the tent, and June pushed him on one of the couches available there when she sensed that they were finally divided from the outside world .

The two of them didn't have the chance to say goodbye when they returned from their mission due to the battle between the rank 6 existences . Yet, they made sure to fix that in that fortuitous moment of intimacy .

"Noah," June said as she turned to face her lover laying under her, "They want to use the Elemental Forging method . You knew that they would have made that connection . "

Noah nodded and couldn't help but caress her cheek when he saw her worried expression .

Then, he abided to the terms of the meeting by pointing out the flaw of that method . "It's impossible to find suitable creatures for heroic cultivators . "
