"Wait…"
Suddenly, Amaya spoke with a doubtful look on her face.
"Hmm? What is it?" Nux questioned.
Amaya then turned towards Astaria and questioned,
"You said that the pattern in which the Mana around Nux was moving was similar to how it moves around Emperors when they use Mana to increase their strength?"
Amaya questioned.
"It is not exactly similar, but yes, they are alike."
Astaria nodded.
"And you are saying this is happening because of body cultivation?"
Amaya turned towards Nux and questioned.
"That is the only explanation that comes to my mind."
Nux replied.
Amaya then narrowed her eyes and started thinking,
"Then are you telling me that the Body Cultivation's function is the same as Mana Cultivation's and the only difference is that you don't have to think about it and can perform it unconsciously?"
Nux frowned.
"Doesn't this… feel strange…?"
Amaya questioned.
"…"
Seeing the expression on Nux's face, Amaya simplified her thoughts,
"From the start, the Body Cultivation has given you a stronger body, on the other hand, the Mana Cultivation allowed you to use Skills, correct?"
"Yes, that is correct." Nux nodded.
"The Mana Cultivation allows you to use skills while also giving a slight boost to your body because of the Mana you absorb while cultivating, on the other hand, Body Cultivation only focused on the Body, giving you a completely different level of strength.
Wasn't that the reason you were stronger than everyone?
Your body was far stronger than normal cultivators, even the Emperors weren't able to win against you if they didn't use Mana, and we can safely say that all of that was because of your Body Cultivation, right?"
"Mhm."
"From the start, Mana Cultivation and Body Cultivation are perfectly divided, Mana Cultivation focused on Mana, while Body Cultivation focused on the Body.
Then why now?
Why do the two of them have the same functionality now?
Why are both of them focusing on the Body?
Where is… the use of Mana apart from using it to increase the Body Strength?"
Amaya questioned and suddenly, everyone turned silent.
"What are you trying to say, Amaya?"
Astaria questioned as she narrowed her eyes.
"I am saying that we a-"
"We are all wrong…"
Nux completed Amaya's words.
"That is correct…"
Amaya nodded.
"We are… wrong…?"
Ember frowned.
"We are doing everything wrong," Nux repeated and then, he started explaining,
"The Mana Cultivation, it was never meant to focus on the body. That's the job of Body Cultivation,
The Mana Cultivation focuses on Mana…
There is no point in fighting like a Body Stage Cultivator when you are a Mana Cultivator, you would obviously lose. Mana Cultivator needs to have a different fighting style.
The people of this continent were using the wrong way, to begin with."
Nux spoke and Astaria turned silent.
"Then what is the correct way?" She questioned.
"Only the main continent would have the answer to that question," Amaya replied.
She didn't know the correct way.
But she was sure the current way definitely leads to a wrong result.
"Heh, then why don't we directly visit the main continent? I am sure Nux would find beings he could 'test his full power against' there. At the same time, we can also find the 'correct way' there."
Suddenly, Edda proposed with a confident look on her face.
A new continent would definitely have a lot of new things she would like, so she was very excited about going there.
Astaria, however, was the first to shake her head,
"That's not a place you can visit without any preparations. Treat it like a completely different world. We don't know how strong the people living there actually are. There is even a possibility that even beings like Emperors are nothing more than servants there.
Going there without knowing the limits of your strength is nothing different than suicide.
We cannot rush things."
"Tsk, you just want to master your sword technique, don't you?" Edda snorted.
After having the 'talk' with Astaria, she has become much more open to her.
Honestly, in the entire group, Edda was closest to Astaria, the rest, especially the warriors, Thyra and Ember, they were still a little intimidated by her presence.
The impact Astaria had in their life wasn't small after all.
"I will not disagree. It may be selfish, but I still believe waiting is the best option."
Astaria replied.
"No, I agree."
Suddenly, Amaya stepped in.
"Rushing to the main continent is definitely not stop. Especially when we know little to nothing about it.
We should be patient.
First, we need to find a way for Nux to test his strength, or at least control it.
It would be great if Astaria could master her technique and also teach it to others.
I also wish to understand my Physique and increase my Mastery level to Mastered Stage.
Once all of this is done, only then should we move out."
"I agree as well."
Felberta nodded as well.
She knows it, the moment they visit the main continent, she and her sisters would become Nux's weakness and if possible, they would like to avoid that from happening.
Learning Astaria's technique is a way out of this.
There was also the possibility of discovering the correct way, but honestly, none of them had high hopes.
They have been following the wrong way since… well, the start…
There is no way they can just suddenly change everything, they needed guidance.
Astaria's technique was the only way.
Felberta didn't mind waiting for a few years before visiting the main continent, and she firmly believed that her sisters didn't mind it either.
"Mhm, all of you are right, we are not leaving just yet."
Suddenly, Nux stepped up.
"We will train."
Then, a playful smile appeared on Nux's face as he continued,
"And to do that, all of you need to become Emperors first."
"Hmm? Your System is down, would your ability still work?"
Amaya questioned.
"Hmm? What do you mean?
That is my ability now."
Nux replied and Amaya frowned,
"Don't worry, everything is fine.
And it won't hurt to give it a try, now will it?" Nux questioned.
Amaya smiled as well.
"You are right,
It won't hurt us at all~"
Nux's days were about to become blissful- ahem, stressful.
