Chapter 809: Destined Person
Sam's estimated construction time would be around three months. After this is over, it is time for him to go back.
After these three months, there would be approximately one year and two months before the next palace of inheritance.
And the one-year grace period is necessary for him to have a proper development phase in the realm the Palace of inheritance is going to be held.
So, in these three months, Sam has to find a beast that is suitable for his next breakthrough. He is focused on the wood elements.
But before that, he has to do something else and that is catching the sea urchins.
If he didn't catch enough sea urchins, then that would be a waste. These things are going to be one of his new defense mechanisms and he would even send them to his different bases.
His city, the western continent, the former Usain sect's land, and the minor power islands he had.
As for Naga Loka, he wouldn't bother with it. His partners are there and they are trustworthy. There is also some serious stigma about Sam in that world and he wouldn't be easily betrayed. And another reason is that these sea urchins wouldn't survive in that poisonous world. The miasma would kill them.
He went back to the sea along with his team and explained the construction plan to them. The team is a bit uncomfortable about the situation. After all, most of them are artisans who are specialized in the fire element, but here they are going to sea to construct underwater. This is completely baffling to them and almost impossible to be done.
But Sam gave them enough ideas and resources to finish the project.
After explaining the plan and setting them to work, Sam went to the sea urchin area to start his hunt.
He used light elemental fusion most of the time and just caught the sea urchins forcefully.
He didn't go and hunt the transcendent stage sea urchins, he just stayed in the outskirts and went after the low-level ones. Not only does that reduce his risks, it also finished his work easily.
After catching a hundred of them, he was done with his task.
Inside the divine dimension, there is another saltwater lake that was formed, but in this one instead of the fish, the sea urchins are floating around.
Sam threw the last remaining part of the sea folks' bodies into it. The sea urchins are absorbing the blood, but not the flesh. So, he gave the flesh back to the stingrays.
Now, Sam is throwing all kinds of waste rocks, the waste metal, and everything that is hard including the bones into the pool.
And after they finished the absorption while growing, he made a puppet with special food and let it roam around the pool,
The sea urchins shot at it and the ape would take it back and collect all the spikes and place them neatly in order based on the material.
The great thing about this is that most of the rocks that are really hard and have great structural integrity are not forgeable. They are resistant to heat and all they can be used is for construction.
This is a real waste of them and Sam's time far too valuable to waste the time making small weapons, but that doesn't stop him from getting these small weapons from another way and these sea urchins are perfect.
After he was done here, he went back to the surface. There was a surprise waiting for him. The masseuse from that luxury center is waiting for him.
He was told that she is visiting the school every day.
Actually, Sam gave the department heads the go-ahead to hire her if she comes. But she wanted to meet him.
When Sam met her, he felt like he is meeting a completely different person. He even activated his Raiju's bloodline to check her scent and even after that, he activated the vampire bloodline to check once again.
But she turned out to be the same.
The masseuse that he saw in the spa looked like a lady who liked flaunting her beauty and a bit sensual with her actions and speech. But now she is tranquil and looked like a peaceful person. That was a large personality change.
"I heard you rejected the professor's offer. Is there a problem?"
Sam asked.
She pursed her lips in hesitation and took a deep breath before she finally dared to speak.
"I am willing to take the job and I don't even need the five times to pay, but I want to teach my true art."
"Your true art?"
"My true art is not a simple massage that is used for body pleasure. It is just a part of it. My true art is a method to improve body constitutions, healing the body of injuries that couldn't be done in normal ways. It is to increase the affinity between the body and spiritual energy of that person.
But it also has the power to destroy a person in the battle.
It is an ancient art created by the family. But I am the only one left of my bloodline to continue this art. Our rivals destroyed our family when I was a kid and destroyed every single person who is capable of art, only I survived. If you let me teach the art, I would even work for free. I just want to reestablish my legacy."
She took out some scrolls and placed them on the table. Sam looked through them and was a bit surprised. The art really seemed too profound and complex. It has the properties of healing, enhancing, and destroying all at the same time.
But what confused him is the fact that she came to him and telling the truth. He couldn't fathom trusting someone who just offered a job with such a secret and when he asked this question, the answer surprised him even more.
"I was destined to meet you. I know you would be coming here and I know you are the only one that could help me."
"Destiny? Do you believe such an intangible concept?" Sam asked casually.
"I do. There was a person who came to our family estate when I turned five. He told our family that within a few years, there would be a downfall of our family if we don't put our pride aside and move away from our home.
And if we didn't, we would be destroyed. Our legacy will disappear and only one person who could continue that will stay alive.
My family kicked him out and told him to get lost.
But when I was playing outside in the estate, he met me once again and told me the exact time it would happen and also the exact place where I should be if I saw the signs.
He also told me who I should trust, where I would end up, and what kind of person that could help me restore my family legacy.
A man, who is a human and not a human at the same time. With a body that was riddled with the marks of his journey, the man who can wield the multiple elements in tandem like using his fingers, a man who has power that was not supposed to be there, with an influence that he is not supposed to wield, the wealth that he shouldn't able to carry, destroying all the societal norms while climbing the ranks and once he climbed up he would reveal a strength that would halt anyone that coveted his things. And all those qualities would be in a man who is less than thirty years of age and a Pre-transcendent stage cultivator.
You are the only one that matched all of them.
You might think I only knew you when we first met in the spa, but that is not true. I knew you before you came to Planet 1. I was keeping tabs on the news about you through couriers. A businessman that sprung out of nowhere, making business after business, paying the highest of taxes coming to planet one.
Getting involved in education, military, and many others, you are quite hard to miss if one really cared about the affairs of the realm and I waited for you to come.
You came to the spa and you appreciated my work. You showed appreciation and while you are doing that, I saw what your body holds.
You can wield the number of elements that shouldn't even coexist in the same place. But they are all staying stagnant in your body.
You have human anatomy, but your cells are not completely human. You have characteristics of a human, a beast in fact various types of beasts with different instincts and another creature that I couldn't even identify. But all these are incomplete balance and control as if they are subservient to one supreme instinct.
You are something that shouldn't even exist in the first place, but your existence itself changes norms. It is against the norms.
I know you are that destined person the second I laid my hands on you.
So, I am confident that you would help me."
