When a Spirit Weapon is refined to its absolute limit, it becomes a Minor Treasure. That was the pinnacle of Gold Kinesis Art, a cultivation technique dedicated to the refinement of a Spirit Weapon.
A 10-Life Stage cultivator with Iron or Silver Grade strength would have to fail in becoming a Transcendent. And if a portion of their body survives the Bolt of Transcendence, it will become a Minor Treasure.
A cultivator had to reach the pinnacle stage possible for cultivation in order to have a small chance of becoming a Minor Treasure, with the major player deciding its creation being the Bolt of Transcendence.
The fact that Gold Kinesis Art could safely refine a Minor Treasure was simply absurd. However, it was why no other Brimgan Royal managed to gain a Secondary Nature, for they simply didn't live long enough after attaining the 10-Life Stage to finish refining their Spirit Weapon enough to birth a Secondary Nature.
Only after hitting the 10-Life Stage did Gold Kinesis Art gain the necessary power to begin making preparations to create a Minor Treasure as the cultivator's Secondary Nature. That was a condition, and only after obtaining his Secondary Nature did Boul Brimgan figure it out.
None of his predecessors had enough lifespan remaining by the time they reached the 10-Life Stage. But, the fact that something like this was possible spoke volumes of the foresight possessed by the Brimgan Founder.
As the Brimgan Empire was established on a land blessed with resources, with Kirenal being present in abundance, enough Rutham could be produced for someone to reach the 10-Life Stage. It meant the possibility of refining a Secondary Nature existed, and hence the way Gold Kinesis Art had been created.
The cultivation technique, the abundance of resources, and the Golden Giant were all plans created in order to lay down a deeper foundation for the Brimgan Empire. The Brimgan Founder alone wasn't a genius.
It had plenty of geniuses over its long history, with each of them contributing in some way. And one of them succeeded in becoming the Major Treasure of Deity. Another descendant figured out a way to use its influence to create the Golden Giant. All these efforts were the reason behind this Empire's continued existence throughout countless eras.
Boul Brimgan was the genius of this era who represented the Brimgan Empire. Once he managed to sneak into the region influenced by the Major Treasure of Pet, also called the Sanctuary, Boul Brimgan spent time there researching while braving the dangers there.
Sneaking into a region influenced by a Major Treasure wasn't impossible. The Golden Giant had large vacant places that could be used to enter it. As it was just forming, there were plenty of 'entrances' into its interior.
The Attributed Region had been completed long ago. It was just collecting influence and water for the final touches. As a result, it couldn't be infiltrated.
There was still close to a century for the Major Treasure of Pet to reveal itself. Thereby, it probably had a minor crack that hadn't been completed and made part of the Sanctuary yet. Boul Brimgan managed to not only find it but also sneaked into the Sanctuary through it.
He does the same to the region influenced by the Major Treasure of Weapon, also called the Armoury. But Weapon appeared around forty years from Attribute. Meaning, the crack in its influenced region was even smaller.
Boul Brimgan gets trapped inside and when he commits a mistake, he dies. That was how he went off in Sumatra Chronicles. But now, he would become active in the Brimgan Empire's affairs.
Minor Treasure—Kinesis Feline!
It was the Minor Treasure created by his Secondary Nature. Influenced by the Sanctuary, Kinesis Feline was a Spirit Weapon that behaved no different from a Pranic Beast. It had its own senses, capable of seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, and tasting things.
It could then share everything its senses picked up with Boul Brimgan. Even though it could only roam around in his Spirit Weapon range, it was better to rely on it for detection than using Prana detection means. Its body was made using Rutham and refined to its absolute peak. And hence, it could tank powerful hits.
The Kinesis Feline behaved like a portable battery for Prana, containing 3601 Prana, the lowermost limit for a Beginner Gold Grade Pranic Beast. Once Boul Brimgan charges it, he could use this stored Prana for emergencies.
Otherwise, the Kinesis Feline would use it to perform all its actions. With intelligence on par with a Silver Grade Pranic Beast, it was capable of thinking and taking action on its own, needing no mental control from Boul Brimgan.
As long as he gives minimal mental inputs, the Kinesis Feline would act as instructed, deciding on its volition. The greatest aspect of this Minor Treasure is the fact that it wouldn't take up a slot for controlling a Spirit Weapon even if Boul Brimgan were to move its body around through psychokinesis.
Basically, the efficiency of his psychokinesis wouldn't drop when he controls a Kinesis Feline alongside a Spirit Weapon. This was what made it terrifying. Currently, Boul Brimgan only had two Kinesis Felines.
Every body of his could refine a Kinesis Feline. So, at his peak, he would be able to control ten Kinesis Felines.
As the water in the Dralh Sea, Vrumsh Channel, and Brimgan Sea had been absorbed by the Attributed Region, this path was the safest, as the marine Pranic Beasts native to them were busy trying to survive.
They didn't have the strength or intention to fight him, especially upon sensing his Gold Grade presence that was revealed in full display. His Kinesis Feline was capable of dealing with any stray attacks as Boul Brimgan focused on heading towards the Brimgan Empire as quickly as possible, staring at the goosebumps on his skin from time to time, worried, "Shit!"
The strength behind the goosebumps was erratically increasing, meaning that his mother was repeatedly summoning him, "Just what is happening there?"
A few minutes earlier in the Brimgan Empire's Capital City, Harla Brimgan exited the palace, donned in her Royal battle gown that had been refined for centuries using Rutham. She stared at the group before her and announced, "The Attribute revealed itself earlier than predictions. But it's fine. We're prepared. Without further ado, let us proceed!"
There was an entrance that had appeared sixty kilometres from the Capital, positioned in the Northern Lakes that was bereft of water now.
"Please be careful, mother." Bronsk Brimgan said respectfully as he brought out a Spirit Weapon in the shape of a ship. The group accompanying Harla Brimgan boarded it as Bronsk Brimgan used psychokinesis to send it away.
He had personally taken action to ensure they'd save travel time. Anyway, once they leave his Spirit Weapon range, they'd have to move on their own. So, every second saved was every second of an advantage they could get.
"Have the orders been passed?" Bronsk Brimgan stared at his attendant.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The attendant bowed in response, "The teams posted all across the region have begun moving towards the entrances. We have people across all entrances."
"Good, ensure we gain possession of all the keys from the Tenth Layer." Bronsk Brimgan announced as he observed his retainers make a move spontaneously, "Keep me posted on everything. I need to be updated in real time. If there are any delays in the news, I'll behead everyone in the Information Department."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Soon, the ship he was controlling reached the end of his Spirit Range and stopped. The people on board it jumped out immediately.
"Shall I, Your Majesty?" Amita Brimgan asked Harla Brimgan, immediately condensing a cloudy platform in response as everyone boarded it. One of their team members condensed a turbine that generated thrust to move the cloudy platform forward.
As the cloudy platform could hover about the ground, it faced no friction from the ground. travelling using it consumed the least amount of Prana, and hence was selected by them.
"Your Majesty was wise to group up the teams and keep them stationed months in advance." A retainer bowed towards Harla Brimgan.
"It's nothing." Harla Brimgan waved coolly as she watched the entrance draw near, observing people from a Northern Lake City had sneaked inside.
"Shall I…?" A retainer asked, subtly making a motion to convey his intention of silencing those that had sneaked into the Attributed Region.
"It wouldn't be called as the region influenced by a Major Treasure if your average cultivator could freely explore it." Harla Brimgan said without a change in tone, hearing bloodcurdling screams from the entrance. The ones that entered didn't even live for a minute.
"Move," She spoke with authority and waved her hand, causing the rest of the terrified citizens to slide to the side through the effects of External Inertial Gravity, smiling in content as she stared at her right hand, 'This is by far my greatest investment. There's no Minor Treasure as good as this.'
As Harla Brimgan took a step in the entrance though, her right hand stopped, failing to budge despite her best efforts.
'Shit! What's he up to now?' Amita became nervous as she subtly nudged Dhya, telling her to sever Harla Brimgan's right arm upon cue, 'Why is Resha acting up now? I thought he planned to keep hiding until we reached the First Layer.'
