Mountain Sitting Immortal

A distraught mother needs fear to surpass her safety limit, but those at the ninth transformation can choose anger, greed for more power, or a pride that makes them always try their best to surpass their safety limit.

In the case of the Dominating Fire Force Intent, his limits will be removed completely by the emotion of Pride. It is not a baseless emotion either. It is an emotion fueled by the power of fire.

Any kind of emotion can work to break the limit, but that emotion must be sincere. The emotion must be real; it can't be pretended.

A woman can't pretend that her child is underneath a car and use that pretending emotion to lift the car. She must truly believe that her child is in danger, or she won't be able to overcome her limits.

Just like that, the pride in his excellence and superiority can't be fake. To make sure that it is not fake, its foundation is based on a real-life phenomenon of the domineering nature of fire.

So even though he is not in danger and someone he cares about is not in danger, he can use the emotion of pride to break his limits because it is a fact that fire is domineering. As long as he masters this fact and becomes just like Fire, he will gain this emotion of pride, and he will be able to overcome his limit with it.

He looked at the warning again and said, "I'm not even sure if the feeling of pride is a side effect or the true source of the power of the force intent. No matter. We do whatever we must so that we can do what we want. If I must become proud to overcome my limit, then I will become proud."

The emotional effect can be removed in the future if he chooses the path of energy refining. His mind will become strong, and he will gain control over both the energy he is refining and his emotions, so he won't be influenced as much.

But if he chooses the path of body refining, the effect will become worse. He will become proud and dominating.

He said to himself, "That is a problem for the future."

He only plans to reach the tenth transformation with the dominating force diagram. He doesn't plan to transcend the first mortal coil with it because he is hoping to get a better force diagram during the sect examination or from his sect in case he joins a sect.

The dominating fire force diagram can only help him reach the first transformation of the second mortal coil. He will have to continue working for the beast hunting center to get the rest. That is not something he plans to do.

Even if he can't get a better force diagram from the regional sect examination or from his sect, as long as it doesn't have anything to do with the beast hunting center, he will be content with it.

It is likely that what he will get from his sect is better than the dominating fire force intent. Even if it is not better, he mustn't use the dominating fire force intent to transcend. because he won't be able to participate in the regional sect examination if he is at the second mortal coil.

There is also the fact that each sect has their own set of practices. If he uses his current force diagram to transcend, it might limit his future or even clash with the sect techniques. So the matter of which path he will take in the future and which technique he will use to transcend are for the future after the special regional sect examination.

For now, all he needs to concern himself with is reaching the tenth transformation and earning more hunting points to acquire the extraordinary weapon and armor that he has his eyes on.

He opened the envelope and brought out the force diagram. He took a peek at the diagram on the leather. What he saw was a flash of fire.

The fire started as a small ball in front of him. But then it exploded.

The fire exploded out of the leather and jumped out at him. It became a tangible thing and enveloped the whole world.

All he saw was fire. And all he felt was heat.

The fire was intense, and its heat was dominating. It burned his skin and wormed its way into his body, where it set his blood on fire.

He rolled on the ground to put out the fire, but the fire refused to go out. It wanted to burn him until there was nothing left of him. He rolled on the ground in vain.

His rolling and screaming caused a lot of noise. which drew the attention of his maids. They came up to help him, but he couldn't see them.

They kept asking him what was wrong, but he couldn't hear them. They tried to hold him down, but he was too strong for them.

His whole world was fire. It was burning him and also burning his blood. It sapped him of mental and physical strength. It caused both mental and physical pain.

He tried to put out the fire to no avail. He didn't stop until he became exhausted and fainted. His maids didn't know what had gone wrong. So they could only help him to the bed, where he slept for hours.

When he woke up, he felt beaten up and weak. It was not just an emotional feeling. His muscles were sore, and his skin was bruised in many places.

The bruises were real. They looked like burn marks.

The difference between them and burn marks is that they were fainter and were temporary. They were healing rapidly over time.

He sighed when he saw the state of his body. Then he said, "This should be a means to torture people. How many times do I have to go through this before I master the force intent?"
