Chapter 312 Stirring Up the Cooter Clan
Spirit Container Harvest was a compound Skill derived from the methods used by various humans and Pranic Beasts to harvest Parute Fruits. Inala had the methods of the Mammoth Clan, Cooter Clan, Gudora, Fhoong Brimgan, Mudropper, Centingers, Millingers, and a bunch more.
He had obtained the data of plenty of races that owned territories with Parute Trees, using a method each to delicately farm Parute Fruits without damaging the Parute Tree in the slightest.
Combining that data, Inala modified it to similarly harvest the Spirit Container of a person. Of course, this ability could only harvest one Spirit Container. So, the target must be at the Body Stage.
It was why Inala fed the Free Human a bunch of Elixirs until his Spirit Containers reached a hundred and fused into a unified whole. At this point, the sole influence on this unified Spirit Container was the Mystic Mist Art.
To fully reach the Body Stage, the Free Human would have to build a Human Avatar, which depended on their cultivation technique. Since the only cultivation technique in his possession was the incompatible Mystic Mist Art, it was impossible for him to enter the Body Stage.
That was perfect for Inala.
Only the Free Humans under the Cooter Clansmen could be used for his purpose. No one else. After all, the Free Humans everywhere else, even those living in the weakest of Kingdoms practiced a cultivation technique, no matter how damned weak it was.
Therefore, there was an influence on their Spirit Containers.
This influence was reflected in their Spirit Weapon. A Mammoth Clansman cultivating the Mystic Bone Art controlled a piece of bone as a Spirit Weapon. It was a cloud for a Cooter Clansman cultivating the Mystic Mist Art.
For a royalty in Ellora Trade City, the Spirit Weapon used would be a piece of Haddlyok. This was the influence a cultivation technique had on the Spirit Container, reflected clearly through their Spirit Weapon.
Every Free Human wielded a Spirit Weapon. Hence, even if they were to switch to a different cultivation technique in the future, there was some influence left in their Spirit Container, which would cause them problems once they begin building their bodies.
Only the Free Humans serving the Cooter Clan were exempt from this. They didn't have a Spirit Weapon, since they never cultivated a cultivation technique. Hence, it was easy for the Mystic Mist Art's influence to take root in their unblemished Spirit Containers.
A tiny, cloud-shaped Spirit Container, barely spanning a couple millimetres in size appeared in his hand as Inala observed it, nodding in response, "It's perfect!"
He took out a Lifeforce-rich Life Bomb and placed the extracted Spirit Container in it, ensuring the Lifeforce would stably maintain its condition without causing it to degrade or be damaged.
The Empyrean Zinger King landed on his wrist as Inala seeped Prana through it and into the Free Human, using his Quip Tribesman Prime Skill.
Since the Free Human no longer had a Spirit Weapon, even after becoming part of the Quip Tribe, his presence would be the same as a fellow Free Human. Only when his Spirit Container forms would he gain the powers of a Quip Tribesman and begin exuding the presence of one—able to be perceived as such by Free Human Life-Stage cultivators.
Until then, he remained a Free Human, which was what Inala wanted. In Sumatra Continent, every single creature was born with at least one Prana, no exceptions. Hence, having zero Prana was an extreme case already.
He wanted to take advantage of this extremity to evolve his Quip Tribe into Clansmen status, intending to achieve it before he obtained the Attribute. That was his end goal.
Right as the surgery concluded, the Empyrean Zinger Scouts took care of the Free Human, using Lifeforce-rich fluid from a Life Bomb to heal his wound, reverting his condition to a pristine state. They set him aside after that.
In the meantime, another Free Human was placed on the operation table. Without a moment's hesitation, Inala began to repeat the process, gradually getting accustomed as his actions sped up.
He also dispatched groups of Empyrean Zingers to other islands, carrying a large number of vials with Mystic Mist Elixirs. It was to put the influence of Mystic Mist Art on more Free Humans.
It was a race against time as everyone worked to their limit.
Clap!
Asaeya used her powers during the Death Hour to steal the senses of a large horde of Pranic Beasts. Immediately following that was a rain of Prana Bombs and Life Bombs to suck them dry of both Prana and Lifeforce.
"Thank you," Inala said upon seeing a Silver Grade Pranic Beast be dragged towards him by a group of thirty Empyrean Zinger Scouts, bound up. He touched the Silver Grade Pranic Beast using a Life Hand and absorbed its Lifeforce.
Taking on his female form, he created Life Bombs—ones capable of birthing a queen—using the excess Lifeforce. Once enough Life Bombs were created, the Empyrean Zingers targeted the Pranic Beasts on the island with it.
Every Empyrean Zinger was a Mutated Silver Grade Pranic Beast, possessing two Natures. Therefore, when a group of them joined hands, defeating Silver Grade Pranic Beasts was easy, especially since they weren't Centingers whose abilities countered them perfectly.
By the end of the day, Inala finished extracting the Spirit Containers of all 5800 Free Humans on Fral Island. He had become damn quick by now, able to operate on four people every minute. It was possible because he could multitask, able to operate with only two Spirit Weapons.
The remaining two Spirit Weapons focused on a second patient, making the initial preparations necessary. So, once the cut was performed and the unified Spirit Container was created, Inala arrived before the Free Human, extracted their Spirit Container, and stored them. He then seeped in prana using the Empyrean Zinger King.
All logistics were taken care of by the Empyrean Zingers. Hence, the process became very quick once Inala accumulated some experience. The Free Humans were brought to their respective quarters by the Empyrean Zingers and placed there.
Once they wake up, they'll be stunned to no longer feel Prana in their bodies. Even if they make a complaint, the Cooter Clan would only observe them in confusion, unable to figure out what had happened.
After all, in their perspective, the Spirit Containers of the Free Humans mysteriously disappeared. That could be the only conclusion, since they sported no injury on their body. This way, they'll never be able to figure out the true reason.
Once Fral Island was done, Inala rounded up all the Empyrean Zingers, hopped onto the Sumatra Ship, and fell asleep. Gannala and Asaeya were in charge of rowing it as they made a beeline towards another island.
By the time the Cooter Clan realises something is amiss and sends troops, they would have harvested Spirit Containers from at least three or four islands' worth of Free Humans. They'll then have to stealthily proceed forward during the subsequent chaos.
Both Gannala and Inala were able to sense the Boar King getting closer. Only three days were left before his arrival. Moreover, the ship—carrying Wittral—would originally have returned to the base in the Dralh Sea's interior zone after ten days, since it needed to visit many islands.
That would be too late, as the Boar King would have left the Dralh Sea long ago. Hence, he needed to time it accurately, ensuring the Cooter Clan took action right as the Boar King arrived.
"Go!" Using Wittral's Prana, a large quantity of Water Slip was created, holding a certain memory enacted to appear from Wittral's point of view. Puppets resembling Cooter Clansmen carried with them a cloud containing the Water Slip and sped in various directions, reaching other islands.
They successfully stirred up the Cooter Clan.
