The True Potential Of Infinte Origin Physique

Chapter 151 — The True Potentail Of Infinite Physique

Aether sat in the training ground near the center of the settlement, reviewing his recent progress. Reaching the ninth stage of Origin Tempering had strengthened his foundation considerably, but he knew that cultivation alone wasn't the only path available to him. His Infinite Origin Physique had unlocked Physique Copy and Integration when its development reached 1.00%, and he had barely begun exploring what that ability could accomplish.

The initial development had been difficult because his physique was adapting to a function it had never used before. That first obstacle was now behind him. As he grew more familiar with the process, future development should become increasingly efficient, allowing his physique to advance alongside his cultivation rather than relying exclusively on dedicated training sessions.

Aether opened his System interface.

[Current Realm: Origin Tempering]

[Current Stage: 9]

[Origin Points: 975 / 1,600]

[Infinite Origin Physique Development: 1.00%]

[Physique Copy and Integration: Unlocked]

[Physique Integration: Active]

He studied the information for a moment before closing the interface. His immediate goal was to develop the physiques he had already encountered, strengthen his foundation, and improve the efficiency of his Infinite Origin Physique. He had no intention of collecting abilities that he would never use. Every physique needed to contribute something meaningful to his overall strength.

He began with Vaelira's Voidmoon Physique, whose integration he had previously started. Its spatial affinity and connection to the void complemented his existing abilities, particularly his Origin Sense and Shadow Step. Although he had made progress before, the integration had stalled at thirty-six percent while he concentrated on other problems. Now he could resume the process using his own Origin Energy.

Aether circulated his energy through his body and activated the integration function. Silver-black patterns appeared faintly beneath his skin as his Infinite Origin Physique resumed adapting to the copied characteristics. The process no longer felt as unfamiliar as it had initially. Instead of struggling to establish each connection, his physique recognized the existing structure and continued developing it with greater efficiency.

[Voidmoon Physique Integration: 36% → 44%]

[Spatial Perception: Improved]

[Void Affinity: Strengthened]

[Origin Energy Capacity: Increased]

Aether opened his eyes. His perception of the surrounding space had become clearer, allowing him to notice subtle irregularities that would previously have escaped his attention. He couldn't freely manipulate space or reproduce every technique Vaelira possessed, but the integration had strengthened his foundation and given him a better basis for developing spatial abilities in the future.

More importantly, the process had also stimulated his Infinite Origin Physique. The copied characteristics weren't merely occupying space within his body; integrating them forced his original physique to adapt, refine its structure, and accommodate a wider range of powers. That adaptation contributed to its development as well.

Aether considered the implications. Cultivation strengthened his foundation, while copying and integration introduced new characteristics that his physique could learn to accommodate. Complete absorption, once he eventually mastered it, would offer an even greater opportunity for growth. Each process could contribute to the evolution of his physique, allowing his development to accelerate naturally as his abilities expanded.

He stood and walked toward the nearby training area, where Aria was practicing with her spear. She completed her current sequence before lowering the weapon and turning toward him.

"You're looking unusually serious. Have you thought of another dangerous plan?"

Aether smiled. "I want to copy your Starforged Physique and begin integrating it."

Aria's eyes widened slightly before her expression brightened. "You can do that now?"

"I unlocked the ability some time ago. I should have started developing it properly earlier."

"Then stop wasting time and do it."

Her enthusiasm made him laugh. Aether focused on the distinctive Origin Energy signature of her physique, allowing the System to analyze its characteristics. The Starforged Physique possessed a structure suited to physical reinforcement, stable energy output, and the delivery of powerful attacks. Those qualities would complement the spatial characteristics he had already integrated.

[Physique Analysis: Starforged Physique]

[Analysis: Successful]

[Physique Copy: Created]

[Starforged Physique Integration: Initiated]

Golden energy spread through Aether's body as his Infinite Origin Physique began incorporating the copied characteristics. He supplied the necessary Origin Energy himself, maintaining a steady circulation while the integration proceeded. Aria didn't need to transfer her energy or guide the process, and her own physique remained completely unaffected.

The initial integration stabilized after a period of concentration.

[Starforged Physique Integration: 12%]

[Physical Reinforcement: Improved]

[Energy Output Stability: Improved]

[Origin Energy Capacity: Increased]

Aether flexed his fingers, testing the changes. His body felt more stable under the pressure of his Origin Energy, and his foundation could accommodate greater output with less strain. The physique was still far from fully integrated, but even this early development offered useful benefits.

Aria watched him with a satisfied smile. "Well? Is my physique impressive enough for you?"

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

"Very impressive."

She folded her arms, clearly pleased. "That wasn't so difficult, was it?"

"Complimenting you was the difficult part."

Aria laughed and lightly struck his arm with the shaft of her spear before returning to her practice. Aether watched her leave with an amused expression, then turned his attention toward the medicinal area, where Seris was organizing their supplies.

When he explained his intention to copy her Moonlit Life Physique, Seris looked at him with curiosity. "You're expanding your physique collection rather quickly."

"The more complementary abilities I can develop, the stronger my foundation will become."

Aether activated Physique Copy and focused on the characteristics he had observed through her Life Essence. The System analyzed the physique's relationship with vitality, recovery, and life-oriented energy before creating a copy for him to develop independently.

[Physique Analysis: Moonlit Life Physique]

[Analysis: Successful]

[Physique Copy: Created]

[Moonlit Life Physique Integration: Initiated]

A gentle warmth spread through Aether's body as the copied characteristics began integrating. His Infinite Origin Physique adapted to the new structure, incorporating its benefits without replacing his existing abilities. The process also stimulated further development of his original physique, which was becoming increasingly efficient at accommodating unfamiliar characteristics.

[Moonlit Life Physique Integration: 10%]

[Vitality: Improved]

[Recovery Efficiency: Improved]

[Origin Energy Capacity: Increased]

Aether slowly released his breath. His vitality had improved, and his body could recover from ordinary strain more efficiently. However, the integration didn't grant him Seris's complete mastery of Life Essence, nor did it allow him to reverse death or instantly heal every injury. He had acquired the foundation of the physique, not all the knowledge and experience Seris had accumulated through training.

Seris examined him with her Life Sense. "Your vitality has definitely changed."

"I can feel it. I'll need to train with these characteristics before I can use them effectively."

She smiled. "Good. I was about to remind you that gaining power and mastering it are two different things."

"I expected nothing less from our resident healer."

"Then listen to your healer when she tells you not to overwork yourself."

Aether laughed before continuing toward the outer perimeter, where Lyra was training. Lightning crackled around her arms as she practiced controlling her Thunderheart Physique. She noticed him approaching and grinned.

"Let me guess. You're here for my physique too."

"You're becoming predictable."

"You've been walking around looking thoughtful all day. It wasn't difficult to figure out."

Aether focused on the Thunderheart Physique's distinctive energy signature. Its affinity for lightning, rapid energy response, and explosive acceleration made it a valuable addition to his growing collection. The System analyzed those characteristics and successfully created a copy, allowing him to begin integrating them immediately.

[Physique Analysis: Thunderheart Physique]

[Analysis: Successful]

[Physique Copy: Created]

[Thunderheart Physique Integration: Initiated]

Lightning flickered across Aether's skin as his body adapted to the new characteristics. The energy initially surged too quickly, but his refined circulation allowed him to stabilize the process before it disrupted his foundation. His Infinite Origin Physique continued adjusting to the lightning affinity, and the repeated adaptation contributed to its own development.

[Thunderheart Physique Integration: 11%]

[Lightning Affinity: Established]

[Reaction Speed: Improved]

[Origin Energy Capacity: Increased]

Aether opened his eyes. The affinity had been established, but mastering lightning techniques would require additional practice. He would also need to discover how the Thunderheart characteristics interacted with the Voidmoon, Starforged, and Moonlit Life physiques. Their combined potential was considerable, but he wouldn't assume that every combination would work perfectly without experimentation.

Lyra watched him with obvious curiosity. "Can you use lightning now?"

"I've established the affinity. Mastering it will take practice."

"Then I expect a proper match when you're ready."

"Try not to lose too quickly."

Her smile widened. "Now you're asking for trouble."

That evening, Aether returned to the training ground and began cultivating. He had successfully copied three additional physiques and advanced the integration of Vaelira's, but he still needed to refine his Origin Energy and stabilize the changes within his body. He sat cross-legged and drew energy from his surroundings, circulating it through his cultivation pathways.

His Infinite Origin Physique absorbed and refined the incoming energy with increasing efficiency. The expanded capacity created by his integrations allowed him to accommodate more Origin Energy than an ordinary cultivator at the same stage, while the improved stability of his foundation helped him maintain control over the growing reserves. He continued circulating the energy until it responded more readily to his will.

As he cultivated, his physique continued to develop. The process that had initially been slow was becoming more efficient because the foundation had already adapted to its newly unlocked capabilities. His cultivation strengthened the physique, while the integration of the four copied physiques supplied new characteristics for it to refine and incorporate. Each process supported the others, creating a steady cycle of development.

After a prolonged period, the System displayed another notification.

[Origin Energy Circulation: Refined]

[Foundation Stability: Improved]

[Energy Control: Improved]

[Origin Points Gained Through Cultivation: 100]

[Origin Points: 1,075 / 1,600]

Aether examined the notification. His Origin Points had increased by one hundred, bringing him closer to the requirement for his next breakthrough. His energy reserves had also expanded through cultivation and physique integration, but he understood that these were separate forms of progress. Origin Points would satisfy the numerical requirement, while refined energy, stable foundations, and complete control would determine whether he was truly ready to advance.

He opened the System interface again to review the results of his work.

[Current Realm: Origin Tempering]

[Current Stage: 9]

[Origin Points: 1,075 / 1,600]

[Infinite Origin Physique Development: 1.12%]

[Physique Copy and Integration: Active]

[Voidmoon Physique Integration: 44%]

[Starforged Physique Integration: 12%]

[Moonlit Life Physique Integration: 10%]

[Thunderheart Physique Integration: 11%]

[Breakthrough Condition: Incomplete]

Aether studied the increased development percentage. His Infinite Origin Physique had advanced from 1.00% to 1.12% through cultivation and the processes of copying and integrating other physiques. The first stage of development had been difficult because he had been establishing an entirely new function, but subsequent progress was becoming faster as his physique learned to use that function efficiently.

This was only the beginning. As his cultivation improved and he acquired more powerful physiques, the rate of development could accelerate further. Eventually, he intended to copy physiques in the middle of combat, even if doing so was less efficient than a deliberate analysis. Beyond that lay complete physique absorption, an advanced ability that would allow him to obtain an opponent's entire physique and everything it inherently offered.

He had not reached that level yet, and he wouldn't pretend otherwise. For now, he needed to keep cultivating, improve his existing integrations, and learn to combine their abilities in actual combat. His next breakthrough remained incomplete, but his progress was no longer limited to the slow development that had characterized the beginning.

Aether closed the interface and resumed his cultivation. His goal was clear: refine his Origin Energy until it was completely obedient, reach the required Origin Points, and stabilize his foundation enough to advance beyond the ninth stage.

There was still much to accomplish. When the group eventually returned to the Northern region, he intended to meet the mysterious entity again, hoping to learn what it knew and help three of the girls unlock their own physiques. That task would be separate from his personal development, but it offered another reason to prepare thoroughly.

For now, Aether concentrated on the energy flowing through his body. His Infinite Origin Physique was no longer merely awakening to its potential. It was learning, adapting, and developing through every meaningful step he took toward greater strength. Each cultivation session refined it, every successful integration expanded its possibilities, and every new physique gave it another foundation to incorporate.

Aether had only reached 1.12% development, but the pace of progress was beginning to change. He intended to make every future increase count, until the gap between his current strength and his ultimate potential became something he could steadily close through cultivation, combat, and the power of the Infinite Origin Physique.
