Chapter 213 213: A Special Connection
Curious about how his inner vigor would react to entering an external weapon made from immortal tattoos, Yoze immediately tried to test it out. Then, taking a deep breath, he manipulated his Big Golem inner vigor to try and enter the battle axe.
However, just as the heavy inner vigor was about to leave his skin, Yoze could sense that inner vigor reached a roadblock. No matter what he did, he couldn't get his inner vigor to leave his skin and enter the weapon.
"As expected, simply having a talent for inner vigor manipulation isn't enough to allow inner vigor to leave the body. I have to break through the Big Golem body cultivation a few more times to gain this ability, or I need to reach the Martial Grandmaster realm."
Knowing that he hadn't reached the stage where he would be able to have his inner vigor be able to enter foreign bodies just yet, Yoze stopped the fruitless attempts. Instead, he tried to use a more indirect method, such as covering the battle axe in his blood before filling it up with his inner vigor.
Even though this wouldn't count as his inner vigor truly entering the weapon, Yoze viewed this more as practice for when he did the same for the crystal sword in the future. So he immediately took action and controlled the blood coming from his wounds to cover the battle axe.
With a single thought, the blood stains on the bandages wrapped around his body shifted slightly as blood from his still-healing wounds began to flood outside his body while increasing his blood production levels to new heights.
Within mere seconds the mostly clean bandages became dyed with dark blood before swiftly moving to cover every inch of the black battle axe. As soon as Yoze's blood made contact with the battle axe, he felt a faint connection form between him and the battle axe.
"This feels familiar to the sensation that I got when I formed a bond with the giant serpent and white tiger. A bit different when I first tried it with other weapons, but this might be the case with any weapon that has a connection with life." Yoze thought to himself with curiosity, making a mental note to himself that he should test his hypothesis more in the future.
Still, this revelation didn't stop Yoze from covering the battle axe with his blood to make it his blood weapon. Blood rapidly climbed the battle axe's handle before covering the two blades in less than a second.
As soon as Yoze's blood completely covered the battle axe, he felt his connection with the battle axe strengthen further. As this connection grew, Yoze could feel his blood heart activating, causing the sound of his heart beating to become audible.
The sound of a heart beating immediately drew the five immortals' attention toward him as they were curious about what could be causing that thumping sound. When they saw that the thumping sound was coming from Yoze's chest while he was covered in bloody bandages and holding a version of the two-headed battle axe covered in blood.
Seeing that Yoze had to resort to using the pathetic abilities that practicing martial arts could give people, a single thought passed through all their heads.
"He must be struggling if he needs to resort to martial arts to try and keep his weapon in his control."
In their minds, using martial arts to try and suppress these legendary weapons created by Patty's immortal tattoos was a fruitless endeavor. Only by resorting to the means of immortal cultivation could these weapons be suppressed.
Even though they looked at Yoze's display with disapproval, none cared enough to try and stop him from using martial arts. Since they knew that even if he had reached the Blood Master realm or even the peak of the Martial Grandmaster realm, there was no possibility that he could stop his head from being chopped off.
Only two exceptions looked at Yoze's action with curiosity, Patty and the young man whose eyes had a permit blank stare. These two saw that not only was Yoze not in danger of not getting killed by his weapon but that he was suppressing it with pure physical ability alone.
The young man, whose eyes were blank, controlled his red immortal tattoos to enter his eyeballs as he whispered a few words rapidly. The red immortal tattoos quickly collided and tangled into each other to form a crude three-dimensional model of Yoze's body.
As soon as the model was created, inside the young man's mind, he began to see through Yoze's body layer by layer until he noticed a strange heart thumping inside Yoze's chest in addition to his normal heart. Even though the scene of a second heart was strange, the young man ignored it. Instead, he continued to peel away every layer of Yoze's body until he saw the layer out of his crystal nerves.
"Interesting," The young man muttered to himself, drawing the other four immortals' attention.
"Patty and Scotty, did you detect if there was a problem with that young man? Is he from a different immortal sect trying to spy on us?" The blue-haired immortal asked casually.
"No problem that I can detect. It's just that he hasn't even created his first set of crystal nerves." Patty said.
"Are you saying that he hasn't even entered the Nerve Accumulation realm yet? If so, is he suppressing your weapon spirit with pure strength alone?" The blue-haired immortal's eyes widened slightly from shock, but she quickly readjusted herself to regain her composure.
"Yes, but that shouldn't be a problem with whether he passes this test or not. I don't want my weapon to be toyed with." Patty grumbled.
Even though he was unhappy that Yoze felt so relaxed with suppressing one of his weapons created by his immortal tattoos, Patty didn't care to play any tricks against Yoze since there was no benefit to doing so. The two-headed battle axe was simply one of the many low-level weapons he had created in his youth and hadn't bothered to spend the time improving its design or power.
If he had done so, there wouldn't be a need to even go through with this test, as not a single person here would be capable of suppressing one of his immortal-grade weapons. They would die simply from the aura of his weapon being brought to reality.
