Eye System

Lex after spending almost an hour to activate the Land Elemental Energy Form, had gathered that he was able to sustain it for 5 minutes without much strain and 10 minutes without any fatal or serious backlash.

However, this was with Lex not using the Land Elemental Energy Form much as he wasn't in the heat of battle where he would have to use much more energy, so he estimated that 5 minutes would be his limit if using it in battle.

Lex spent 8 minutes in the Land Elemental Energy Form and found that his movement speed underground was extremely quick to the point where he shocked himself and it wasn't much slower than his full speed on foot.

But he also found that travelling underground was very tiring and straining on his Land Elemental Energy Form that couldn't sustain itself for too long.

The final thing he tested was Geokinesis, the ability to manipulate land at will, and found that the land followed his will.

Geokinesis was another ability gained while in the Land Elemental Energy Form and was an Internal Cultivation Application that Lex felt had the most use and growth potential out of the other applications he had come across.

Instead of being forceful and commanding, Lex flowed his will through his energy and found the perfect balance, where he had control of the land around him, but also keep the link and synthesis between himself and the land elemental energy.

He formed a pillar out of the rock beneath him, that followed his will, and Lex felt as though it would be an incredibly useful ability to defend himself with while in battle or quickly build a shelter with while outside.

Deactivating the Land Elemental Energy Form, by slowly releasing the land elemental energy and releasing the link between himself and the land element, without using force, Lex sat on the ground.

He felt slightly mentally and physically strained, but his energy hadn't been used much as it was constantly being replenished by the abundant land elemental energy around him.

[This ability could become almost invincible if I train it to its limits and learn to use it for other elements, but for right now it is not ready to be used in battle. I need to lower the activation time to a few minutes or maybe even a few seconds, from almost taking an hour and I also need to become more proficient in the use of the elements and train my body to be able to sustain the strain that linking with the elements causes it] analysed Lex.

[For now, my priority is to train my Elemental Body and increase my cultivation, while also training in the Land Elemental Energy Form, that for now is the easiest to train in, because of the abundance of land elemental energy in the Underground Coves, and will be useful in future battles] decided Lex.

Despite the sight strain that Lex felt around his body, he also felt that he was more in tune with the land elemental energy after entering the Land Elemental Energy Form for the first time.

He also found absorbing the energy into his body much easier as he began to temper his Elemental Body and cultivate, while recovering his body's strain at the same time.

After an hour Lex felt he was in an optimum state, but still felt as though his training speed was too slow which reminded him of one of his Eye Powers, that he had which he hadn't used lately.

Lex didn't use the Self-Cloning Eye while recovering and forming his Third Eye as it would split his energy and would weaken him massively, making it impossible for him to achieve in the dire state he was in.

But now it was the perfect time to use the Self-Cloning Eye to increase his training speed and accomplish more than one thing at once.

Self-Cloning Eye

Forming 1 clone at a time, stopping to recover his energy back to its peak, Lex formed 3 clones, relaying an Eye Power to each of them.

"You two will cultivate the Elemental Ascension Method and temper your body both internally and externally" ordered Lex to the clones with the Spacial Eye and the Scouting Eye.

"While you will learn and contemplate more of the Elemental Ascension Method" ordered Lex to the third clone that had the Perceptive Eye relayed.

They were all given their tasks, while Lex himself would also be contemplating more of the Elemental Ascension Method and training his body in the use of the Land Elemental Energy Form, that he wanted his body to become more accustomed to.

With everything in motion, Lex was rapidly increasing his own strength, while his Fox Dominion was hunting all the Mortal beasts in the area.

Unit 1 and Unit 2 headed west, knowing that they were on the edge of the Underground Coves and Unit 3 and Unit 4 went east.

The two Units after burrowing out together, split up after finding their own areas and continued to take over Mortal areas and only returning back to their master after taking out their 5 Mortal beast areas.

After Lex and his clones cultivated for 3 days, Lex suddenly sensed the presence of nearly 80 fox beasts that were heading towards him.

"I wonder what Unit is the first to return" mumbled Lex as he quickly placed his palm on each of his clones, reabsorbing them back into his body and gaining what they had accomplished over the past 3 days.

It wasn't an amount large enough to shock and overwhelm Lex's main body, that was currently very powerful, but was surprised to see he much they had managed to accomplish.

He felt his strength and understanding of the Elemental Ascension Method rise quite significantly as his body settled and devoured what his clones had gained hungrily.

Rushing back to their master was Unit 1 who was the first to completely hunt 5 whole Mortal beast areas.

The beasts that numbered slightly below 80 had a qualitative change in power and aura as they returned to their master.

"Good job Unit 1" congratulated Lex as Unit 1 stood before him, led by the first red fox that Lex had come across and had a wide smile.

Observing their current power levels he estimated, that they had all within a few days went from starving and dying fox beasts to peak Mortal beasts that were all-powerful in their own rights.

The red fox beast leapt at Lex who placed out his palms to catch him and began to stroke his head, reminding him of Kano from his past reality.

[He seems to be attempting to communicate with me] noticed Lex who was staring deep into his eyes.

The red fox beast began to howl in different tones while staring deep into Lex's mesmerising eyes, that had now become tinted red after gaining the Dominant Eye and forming his Third Eye.

[It seems as though he is requesting to be given rest, but not because they are tired, but because their bodies need sleep to be able to completely absorb the energy and it seems to me from what he is trying to say, that these unique fox beasts cultivate in their sleep] read Lex.

"Okay you may all sleep and rest for as long as it takes you to break through to the Earth Mortal Rank" announced Lex, allowing them all to rest.

All the beasts had expressions of amazement and gratitude.

They were all shocked by how well he treated them, how he understood them and how much his power seemed to have improved while they had left.

[It seems their loyalty to me is growing with their power and intelligence, which is exactly what I was hoping for] observed Lex with a pleased expression as the red fox jumped out of his hand and huddled with the rest of Unit 1 that all within minutes fell fast asleep.

The rest of the Units were also competing for who would return first and after stroking the Unit Leaders and congratulating them, to make them feel comfortable and happy around him, Lex allowed them all to sleep and digest all the energy that had absorbed into their bodies.

Self-Cloning Eye

Lex formed a clone and relayed to it the Scouting Eye, then ordered it to hunt Earth Mortal Ranked beasts and store them within the inventory, so that Lex could feed the fox beasts when they awoke.

Lex had learnt that his inventory would also swallow the inventory of that of the clones, after he reabsorbed them, just like everything the clone had gained and experienced.

[I wonder what exactly these fox beasts are and I must be really lucky to have found these beasts straight away that grow so quickly] thought Lex to himself.

The amount of beast meat they ate was dozens of times the size of their actual bodies, but as soon as they ate the beast meat it seemed to be completely digested and turned into energy that was absorbed into their bodies.

And adding to that the fact that they seemed to cultivate in their sleep and completely digest and absorb the energy within their bodies and around them, they were wondrous and mysterious beasts.
