Chapter 4: The Birth of a New Creation
After returning from the haunted house...
Adrian did not immediately look for another supernatural incident.
He returned home.
Closed his door.
And sat quietly in his room.
The world outside continued as usual.
People walked through the streets.
Cars passed by.
Families lived their ordinary lives.
Nobody knew that hidden beneath this peaceful world existed countless unseen mysteries.
Nobody knew that Adrian Voss had already stepped into that world.
But Adrian was not thinking about ghosts.
He was thinking about himself.
The battle with the wandering spirit had shown him something.
His current strength was enough to deal with weak opponents.
But relying only on his cultivation energy was not enough.
A cultivator needed a complete foundation.
A way to attack.
A way to defend.
A way to move.
A weapon.
Everything had to be created.
Adrian closed his eyes.
The Originless Immortal Core slowly circulated.
His memories contained countless techniques.
Sword arts that shook galaxies.
Fist techniques that shattered mountains.
Mystical arts created by ancient beings.
But Adrian ignored them.
Those techniques belonged to a different existence.
He needed something that carried his own will.
Something created by Adrian Voss.
...
The first technique he created was a cultivation circulation method.
Without a stable foundation, every other technique would be meaningless.
For several days, Adrian remained in meditation.
Energy flowed through his body.
Countless adjustments were made.
Finally...
The spiritual energy inside him began moving smoothly.
The technique was completed.
"Originless Flow."
A method created to allow his energy to circulate naturally without restriction.
After that...
Adrian began creating combat techniques.
He stood alone in the empty yard.
A wooden sword was in his hand.
The first strike was simple.
Too simple.
The sword moved.
The air split.
But Adrian shook his head.
"Not enough."
A sword was not just a weapon.
It carried the will of the person holding it.
He continued.
One strike.
Ten strikes.
A hundred strikes.
The movements changed.
The power became more concentrated.
Finally...
The sword stopped.
A faint mark appeared on a distant tree.
No explosion.
No destruction.
Only a clean line.
"Eternal Severing Sword Art."
The first sword technique was created.
...
But Adrian did not stop with the sword.
A cultivator could not depend on one method.
He created more.
The second sword technique.
"Heavenfall Sword Shadow."
When activated, the sword would split into countless afterimages.
Not illusions.
Each sword shadow carried real force.
The enemy would not know which blade was the true attack.
...
The third technique.
"Void Breaking Fist."
Adrian clenched his fist.
Energy gathered.
He punched forward.
Boom!
The ground cracked.
Unlike sword techniques, this technique focused on direct power.
A single fist.
A single impact.
A single moment.
...
The fourth technique.
"Nine Transformation Palm."
A palm technique created for flexibility.
Attack.
Defense.
Control.
Nine changes within one movement.
The technique could adapt to different battles.
...
The fifth technique.
"Free Step."
A movement technique.
Adrian stepped forward.
His figure blurred.
In the next moment, he appeared several meters away.
Not because he moved faster.
Because his movement ignored unnecessary restrictions.
...
After creating the five techniques...
Adrian finally began creating his weapon.
A sword.
Not an ordinary sword.
A flying sword.
A weapon that would allow him to travel through the skies.
He selected materials carefully.
The process took days.
The flame of Originless Immortal Energy burned continuously.
The metal changed.
The structure transformed.
Every formation pattern was created by Adrian himself.
Failure after failure.
But he continued.
Finally...
A sword appeared.
The blade was dark and simple.
No unnecessary decoration.
Yet the moment Adrian touched it...
The sword trembled.
A connection formed.
Adrian looked at the blade.
"Eternal Void Sword."
The name appeared naturally.
This sword would fly with him.
Fight with him.
Grow with him.
Adrian stepped outside.
The sword floated before him.
He stepped onto the blade.
The first attempt was unstable.
The sword shook.
Adrian adjusted his energy.
Slowly...
The sword rose into the sky.
The wind passed beside him.
The city below became smaller.
Adrian looked at the endless night.
For the first time...
He was not just remembering the past.
He was creating the future.
