461 Wean Clan’s Specialty
When Barla achieves the critical point of her growth and accumulates enough genetic influence while at the peak of the Body Stage, she'll breakthrough to the 2-Life Stage and at the same time, become a Clansman.
The Boar King's goal in creating a Clan was to revive his race. But even he was aware that no matter how careful he was, the Empyrean Boar race was bound to a life of torture.
Even if he ensured the Empyrean Boars reached maturity without consuming a single Pranic Beast, and as a result, weren't influenced by any external Natures, the moment an Empyrean Boar consumes a Pranic Beast, things would derail quickly.
Voracious Nature influenced the Empyrean Boar to consume other Pranic Beasts. in Sumatra Chronicles, this influenced the Boar King to consume more Empyrean Tusks once the number of Internal Inertial Gravity in his Astral Chart reached fifty.
The influence from Internal Inertial Gravity made him things of himself as an Empyrean Tusk while Voracious Nature made him consume more Empyrean Tusks.
Suppose an Empyrean Boar consumes a large number of Shock Lizards to the extent the number of Natures of Prana Shock in their body trumps all other Natures, it would influence the Empyrean Boar through Voracious Nature to hunt more Shock Lizards and consume them.
Eventually, the Empyrean Boar would assume itself to be a Shock Lizard and actually try its best to integrate itself in their society, all while chomping upon their population.
The degradation of its mind progressed exponentially. If even a single Nature was consumed, this process would start. Only thanks to Astral Chart did the Boar King manage to stay sane. It ensured that he couldn't accumulate more than hundred Natures through his Primary Nature of Voracious Nature.
But even then, he'll remain sane only when he limits himself to Iron and Silver Grade Natures. When he accumulates enough Gold Grade Natures, he too would go mad eventually, as how he did in Sumatra Chronicles.
And the only way to gain Astral Chart was to attain the Mystic Grade, with the process being what Brangara had to go through—devouring his entire race.
Therefore, reviving the Empyrean Boar race as is was just laying down a feast for disaster. Hence, the Boar King and Yarsha Zahara pooled their resources to create Mystic Sumatra Art in such a way by capitalising on their respective abilities that it prevented such a grim future.
When Barla becomes a Clansman, her Primary Nature wouldn't change. Rather, it would remain as Empyrean Boar Transformation, allowing her to transform and put to use the massive body of an Empyrean Boar.
The changes that would happen is her gaining a Secondary Nature.
Secondary Nature—Voracious Nature.
It is here that she'll gain an Empyrean Boar's Primary Nature. Instead of becoming an Empyrean Boar and living as a Pranic Beast, the Boar King intended to create a Clan that were able to transform into Empyrean Boars.
This way, as Clansmen, they could keep the influence of Voracious Nature on them to a minimum. To fight, they'll limit themselves to their Primary Nature and take advantage of the robust Empyrean Boar's body.
It was the body of a Gold Grade Pranic Beast, which was more than enough to face most situations. Moreover, the Primary Nature of Empyrean Boar Transformation would influence them to a state where being an Empyrean Boar was a transformation, something they could switch on and off when necessary.
Thereby, when their Primary Nature isn't activated, they won't have to face any influence from their Secondary Nature. Voracious Nature was the power of an Empyrean Boar.
And thanks to effect of their Primary Nature, the influence from Voracious Nature too would be switched off, since they hadn't transformed into an Empyrean Boar yet.
As a result, the Wean Clan would be able to grow without problems and become the first Gold Grade Clan on Sumatra.
Both the Mammoth Clan and Cooter Clan were considered as Silver-Grade Clans, for their core strength was only at the Silver Grade. Only the Chiefs of each Clan had Gold Grade strength.
The Wean Clan, on the other hand, will have every Clansmen possessing Gold Grade strength. Even though they cannot reach maturity rapidly as quickly as an Empyrean Boar, their growth speed will still be the fastest for someone at the Gold Grade.
Thereby, in a few centuries, the Wean Clan will be able to dominate a sizeable chunk of Sumatra Continent. It was the foundation to such a future that Boar King and Yarsha Zahara combined had created.
By putting her life at risk, Yarsha Zahara was forced to employ all her power. As her mind whirred into overdrive, the vast sea of knowledge that she had accumulated mixed amongst themselves and generated new sparks that allowed her to rapidly develop Mystic Sumatra Art.
As long as Yarsha Zahara manages to develop it to a functional extent, the moment the body of the buried Boar King—after combusting to produce influence upon the Wean Tribe—
vanishes, Barla and the other five would become Clansmen.
At present, she needed to fill it up a bit more before her children could enter the Body Stage and gain their Primary Nature.
Mystic Sumatra Art was being developed in such a way that the effects varied depending on the person that cultivates it, which was pretty much the characteristics of Sumatra Gold.
Yarsha Zahara's family, the Royal Family of Zahara Kingdom built Human Avatars out of a mineral called as Reactive Jade, which allowed their Human Avatars to counter an incident ability by reacting into a form suitable to oppose it.
Her family had been building Human Avatars out of Reactive Jade for many centuries. And through the generations, its influence piled upon their body, mind, and soul, making them more attuned to the mineral, which made it easier for the future generations to build their Human Avatars out of Reactive Jade.
When Yarsha Zahara used a Sumatra Gold to build her Human Avatar, the generated power was that of a Reactive Jade's, but elevated to the Mystic Grade.
Sumatra Gold was an innate mineral capable of elevating anything that exists to the peak. It was why by fusing a piece of Sumatra Gold into a Storage Lantern using Maroppa's power, Inala managed to create the Sumatra Lantern, one with the largest storage space possible.
Similarly, through the Sumatra Gold Skeleton, Inala intended to enhance and stabilise his power to the absolute limit. Moreover, when he removed his Spirit Container at the Dralh Sea, Inala used the three pieces of Sumatra Gold to stabilise and enhance his stomach biome.
It was how he managed to maintain it despite losing his powers.
Enhance, stabilise, and spike it to the limit. That was the Sumatra Gold's function. Hence, Mystic Sumatra Art, the cultivation technique created to make use of Sumatra Gold had the same characteristics.
A Free Human using it would be able to build a Human Avatar out of Sumatra Gold. The Wean Tribe would rapidly evolve into the Wean Clan. Any Ravaged Tribe could use it to attain Clansman status in a few generations.
A Mammoth Clansman with the Fragment Disease could cultivate it and gain the power of an Empyrean Tusk—similar to Resha from Sumatra Chronicles—upon entering the Body Stage. A Cooter Clansman with the Buoyant Disease could similarly attain an Empyrean Snapper's strength.
Regular Clansmen, when employing Mystic Sumatra Art, would gradually gain the Fragment Disease or Buoyant Disease—for the Mammoth Clan and Cooter Clan respectively.
That was the speciality of the Mystic Grade cultivation technique—Mystic Sumatra Art!
