Murim Recurve Chapter 195

"An H-Human? H-Here?" Even Ki'Nua was unable to stay silent. After all, the notion of a human appearing in their world was absurd. After all, humans were only present on Earth. And until now, there didn't seem to be any pathway for them to reach their world.
"Until now, 12 Humans have managed to sneak into our world." The First Celestial Emperor said, "And, common sense doesn't apply to either of them. They are the ones who are wreaking havoc on our world. The recent spike in danger in our lands is all thanks to them."
"But," He let out a gentle sigh, "One of them had differing views. He called himself the Third Calamity. We made a deal. He'll help me with one thing while I'll help with his revenge on the other Calamities. It was a beneficial deal for me. After all, Humans should not exist in our world. They have to be eradicated before they destroy our world."
"I created the Blinded Ghost to Nurture the growth of his disciple and also gave her an item of this place. And, before his death, he had already kept up with his end of the deal and gave me a certain something."
As Ki'Nua made eye contact, the First Celestial Emperor spoke, "Ki'Nua, my descendant. The future is turbulent. Are you willing to shoulder the fate I made for you and protect our people from the Calamities?"
"Yes, I am willing." Ki'Nua thumped her heart as she spoke with resolute conviction.
"I'm glad I didn't make a wrong choice," The Celestial Emperor smiled, "Out of everyone, your affinity to Ghost Qi is the maximum. It is because I have been changing you since childhood. I converted your affinity to the four elements to Ghost Qi. Because of this, you will no longer be able to use any of the four elements in the future. Your days as a Harmoniser are over."
"But," His smile widened, "Using the item the Third Calamity left to me, I managed to create the perfect solution. As for everyone else before you, I couldn't bring their original bodies here by making them a Sha. All I could affect was their Pranic Avatars. So, as a Sha, they only had half the strength I desired in them. And, the time they needed to grow was many times longer than a Sha birthed naturally."

"Your case is different," His tone turned a tad happy, "When you die, your entire existence would become a Sha, with growth similar to one birthed naturally. But leaving that aside, for I don't plan on you dying anytime soon, you will defy the common sense of a Harmoniser."
As her eyes widened in surprise, The First Celestial Emperor continued, "A Harmoniser can summon his Pranic Avatar. As they have shared thoughts, their synchronisation is perfect. But no matter what, once they die, their Pranic Avatar dies too. The only exception to this rule is the Royal Clan, for our Pranic Avatars have attained the Divine Beast status. Even after our deaths, we can live on as our Pranic Avatars."
"But no matter what, even for us, we have to consume a significant quantity of Elemental Qi and Kalki Qi to summon our Pranic Avatars in its strongest state. In your case though, that rule will no longer apply." Followed by a chuckle, the First Celestial Emperor spoke, "Your Pranic Avatar will reside in your Pranic Heart. But, with a thought, you can interchange positions with it, making your body reside in its Pranic Heart. And, this doesn't consume any energy to achieve."
"Moreover," His eyes focused on Ki'Nua, watching her reactions, "Thanks to the changes, you will no longer be able to wield the four elements. Your Pranic Avatar is the same too. But, it has already begun to grow in your Pranic Heart, as a Sha. So, when you move about in your Pranic Avatar form, you are no different from a Sha. You can pass through obstacles and wield the immense strength that is innate to our Pranic Avatar."
"Also," He laughed for the first time, proud of his creation, "You can assume your humanoid form even while using your Pranic Avatar form. And this way, you can exhibit its strength while looking normal, pass through objects, etc. And, suppose it rains, you can instantly take up your original form and be unaffected by the Water Qi in it. This way, you won't have any weaknesses. And in the case you are injured, you can just absorb some Fear Qi, convert it into Ghost Qi and rapidly heal yourself. This works in both your forms, so you can rest assured."

"Finally," He spoke with a solemn tone, "Your growth will follow the same route as a Sha. Keep comprehending Ghost Qi while absorbing it through numerous sources. Since the Prana Stones would be useless to you, you will have to slowly grind your way in this manner. Your growth will be incomparably slow, but thanks to your talent, you will be able to increase your Ghost Qi reserves by a unit every year."
He then unleashed a jet-black beam, seeping it into Ki'Nua, "When you leave this place, send that energy to Burkurel Re'Kha. She's the disciple of that Third Calamity and is currently going by the name Re'Luk. She's right next to you. That would complete my end of the deal."
Followed by a sigh, he spoke as a tiny sphere of white light appeared before him, slowly inching towards Ki'Nua, "You need 10 units of Elemental Qi to finish forming your Pranic Avatar. Even now, that difference hasn't changed. So, I will forcefully awaken your Pranic Avatar and will also give you comprehension and attainment of 10 units of Ghost Qi. I will be in a state of slumber as a result, so even in times of emergencies, the Withered Courtyard wouldn't be able to come to your rescue. Therefore, you'll be on your own while facing the Calamities."
"I am ready," Ki'Nua patted her chest and proclaimed with a tone of assurance as the sphere of white seeped into her, highlighting her form for a breath in time before vanishing. Immediately, Ki'Nua could sense the changes in her, feeling that she was now capable of everything the First Celestial Emperor had said she could do.
"No one would be able to sense the changes in you. Even if they did, my powers would make them overlook it, even if they were Celestial Kings. Only the Fourth Celestial Emperor can see through you." It seemed he had expended a lot of power as the eyes of the First Celestial Emperor drooped, "The Third Calamity is dead. All the other Calamities have become active recently. They have people everywhere."
Finally, his eyes closed as his voice turned weaker, "Burkurel Re'Kha will be actively hunting the people associated with the Calamities. Even for me, detecting them or the people associated with them is almost impossible. Don't tell her about yourself, but silently assist her. Your abilities allow you to do so."
"And, this will help hide your identity." A face mask condensed in the air before latching onto the face of Ki'Nua, seeping into her, "You can alter your physique to a certain extent using it. But, the alteration isn't reality, but only makes the onlookers perceive you as so. Don't take its abilities to be perfect, since your opponents aren't those who abide by common sense."
"The Third Calamity managed to give Burkurel Re'Kha the elements of Wind and Wood. Using the item he gave me, I imbued in you the element of Ghost Qi." The surroundings turned ethereal as his voice echoed in her mind, "The humans don't have any racial limitation in the type of element they could wield. A human can also wield around seven elements; no race in our world can do that. That's why they call themselves Calamities. When you face them, be careful."
"Yes, Emperor! I'll protect our race." Ki'Nua said as she vanished from the place. Her eyes shot open as she woke up, noticing the faces of her parents, Re'Kha, and her Clan Elder.
