111- Mutation

But now, my affinity with all 4 elements is 100%.

How can I not be happy about this?

Also, there is a much more advantage or pro for having 100% affinity with 4 elements, that is – getting a ‘Secondary element’ or ‘Derivative element’.

Like I said: the ‘Creation Space’ Element is used to derive other secondary elements from the 4 Primary Elements, so these 4 primary Elements are the ingredients and then the affinity with the 4 elements is the representation of Quality and Quantity.

For example, assume there is a person ‘A’ and his affinity with the 4 elements are as follows,

Earth – 80%

Water - 100%

Wind – 75%

Fire – 90%

So, here these numbers represent the quality and quantity.

Example for Quality: - For cooking purposes people use coal. And there are different types of coal like Peat, Lignite, Bituminous, and Anthracite. Now, each type of coal contains different amount of carbon content and the coal with high carbon content has high calorific value or in simple terms: It will burn for a longer time and also produce strong heat when burnt. So, Peat has low carbon content and Anthracite has high carbon content. And from this, we can see that most people would choose Anthracite for their use because the Anthracite is more useful to their work instead of Peat. And Peat will be used only when there is a lack of other types of coal.

Example for Quantity: - A chef was ordered to make a certain juice in large quantities and to make the juice, it requires 3 ingredients, such as Orange, Mango, and Apple. And the required amount of these was 100 of each fruit. But in inventory, they only had 100 Oranges, 80 Mangoes, and 65 Apples. And the chef is not able to get the missing items due to some reason.

Now, there are only 2 things that can happen in this case, either the chef has to compromise on the matter of taste and prepare a juice that has low standards, or the preparation of juice will fail due to lack of ingredients and instead of juice, it has become something else. Or due to an imbalance of ingredients (fruits), the taste will vary.

As I have already said that ‘Creation space’ is like a flask and the ‘4 Elements’ (Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind) are the ingredients. And just like the previous examples, every element’s affinity is the measurement of its quality and quantity.

In the ‘Creation Space’, all these 4 elements are put together to form ‘Secondary elements’ or ‘Derivative elements’ like the ‘Lightning element’, the ‘Wood’ element, the ‘Metal’ element, the ‘Thunder’ element, etc. The resultant ‘Secondary element’ or ‘Derivative element’ which is formed in the ‘Creation Space’, acts as the 5th element for that person.

So, coming back to the example, where we assumed a person ‘A’ and his elemental affinities which are: Earth – 80%, Water - 100%, Wind – 75%, Fire – 90%. Now he wants to have the ‘Thunder’ element as his 5th element. For that, he will use, the ‘4 Primary elements’ as ingredients, but since he 100% affinity with the ‘Water’ element, that means only one ingredient has the best quality and quantity; and the other ingredients have low quantity and quantity, the formation of the ‘Thunder’ element may pass or fail. And even if it passes, the resultant ‘Thunder’ element formed will have some defects or its power will be lowered.

But my affinity with all 4 elements is 100%, which means my 5th elements will be powerful and complete without any defects.

The reason for which the 5th element has such huge importance is: The formed 5th element’s output power is greater than or equal to the output power of the ‘Element’ with which the person has the highest affinity. And the 5th element is like a powerful weapon for any cultivator.

But the only drawback of ‘Creation Space’ is that it can only be used for creating one derivative element and that element occupies ‘Creation space’ and acts as the 5th element. This means that once the 5th element has been formed, the cultivator can only have that element for the rest of his life and he cannot replace that element.

Or in simple terms, ‘Creation space’ is a one-time useable flask.

Previously, I chose the ‘Metal’ element as my 5th element because I was part of the Leon clan and since the Leon clan was a warrior clan, almost everyone chose the ‘Metal’ element as the 5th element and also due to the Leon clan possessing many ‘Metal’ element related techniques, skills, resources. But this time, I would like to choose some other element.

.

I have been cultivating for 6-8 hours now and the sun has already set, but due to the fast cultivation, I could not hold down my excitement and I wanted to continue cultivating.

To be honest, ‘excitement due to fast cultivation’ is not the actual reason that I want to continue cultivating. The actual reason is: I feel that there is an invisible buff active on my body that lets me cultivate so fast, and if I quit cultivating now and after some time the buff deactivates, then I can only regret and curse myself for being lazy. And this is what worries me. Hence, I want to continue cultivating.

Maybe there is no buff but I don’t want to take any risk, I just don’t want to lose this speedy cultivation.

So, without any delay, once again I sat in ’Lotus’ positions and started breathing exercises.

This time, I will be awakening the ‘5th Chakra – Vishuddha Chakra or The Throat Chakra’ which is related to the ‘Creation Space’ element. This chakra is situated in the throat area.

After some time, finally, the system notification rang,

‘ding’

‘Building and expanding the [Creation Space]’

‘Current progress = 0.01%’

At the same time, in the throat area, a grain sized hollow sphere was formed. When I sent my consciousness into the sphere, the space inside it was only equal to the size of a sand grain.

‘ding’

‘Building and expanding the [Creation Space]’

‘Current progress = 1.12%’

But as it progressed, soon the internal space was increased to the size of a bean. While the from outside, its size was still equal to the size of a mustard grain.

‘ding’

‘Building and expanding the [Creation Space]’

‘Current progress = 2.12%’

‘Current progress = 2.13%’

.

‘Current progress = 21.21%’

.

‘Current progress = 81.72%’

.

‘ding’

‘Building and expanding the [Creation Space]’

‘Current progress = 99.99%’

‘ding’

‘Congratulations, the Host has activated the 5th Chakra.’

‘ding’

‘[Creation Space] has reached the limit.’

I have been observing the changes taking place in the ‘Creation space’. While externally there was no change, but internally, space went from the size of a sand grain to the size of a car.

Seeing this, instead of being excited, I was completely shocked.
