Will transformation

Some inconspicuous guy was the first to enter the stone stele closest to the red-haired woman. She did not notice this at all, as she had her own issues to deal with. But that did not seem to be the same for those that were viewing through the projection as they were around to cheer for everyone. 

When everyone was busy fighting for the chances to enter the stone steles with high pressure, Musk had already completed his time in the stone stele and walked towards another. His body had immersed another aura that made it seem as though he could go insane at any moment. 

When he stepped into another stone stele, he discovered a difference, and before he could tell what it was, a vast waterfall appeared before him.

His memories also seemed to be slowly fading, until he had nothing in his mind, like a blank page. He seemed to have encounter some real issue this time, this was not some kind of inheritance but rather a test.

With all the important aspects of his life gone, standing there was an empty shell, but some small will seemed to exist in his body that had an obsession with pursuing longevity. 

When he was in this state, the first thought in his mind was longevity and nothing else, and it was already clear that his intelligence was not wiped, rather his identity and memories. 

So, looking into the waterfall, his first thought was he wanted to be immortal, but that aspect seemed lacking in this world he found himself in. Looking into the waterfall with such a strong obsession that had given birth to a will, the will analyzed the next best thing to accomplish its goal.

After thinking for some time, everything about the waterfall seemed useless except for the fact that it had some ancient vibe to it. That was far from enough, and the moment that was thrown aside, and he looked further, an aspect of eternity presented itself, but it was fleeting.

Just this bit might not be capable of allowing his will to accomplish his wish, but it was enough for a start. Sitting down before the waterfall, his body acted on instinct and started to check out the eternity aspect. 

Musk has walked all the way to the point he reached, how can he be a useless person? With the opportunity presented before him and no distractions, his understanding of eternity aspect was being added to the will that seemed weak, allowing it to sublimate and evolve. 

After this started, the will in him seemed to slowly take form, almost resembling him but the reality was it was too transparent. In the end after he could no longer perceive the eternity aspect in the waterfall. 

In the end, he seemed to have some thought coming back to him and before he could react, he was pushed out the waterfall world. 

When he recovered, he was wondering what had just happened, and could not find it, yet he felt something in him had changed for the best. So, he observed the waterfall again and found himself in the same world with the same circumstances and repeated it. By the time he stopped, he had experienced close to a hundred tempering of his will.

This waterfall world sealed every other aspect of his leaving only the will, and he had undergone numerous changes tempering in his attempt to catch that eternity aspect and as a consequence the will was strengthening fast. 

Musk did this for another several hundred years before he could no longer have that feeling of improvement and at this point, he knew it was pointless and even observing the waterfall did not change anything at all. 

"Is this the limit. Whatever benefits I have been accumulating in this place seem to have stopped coming so its time to move to the next." He thought as he looked at the waterfall for the last time. 

The process of sharpening his will in this stone stele lasted far more than three hundred years, allowing for his will to become sharper and stronger. The process did not seem tedious since he was working with only willpower and at this moment even though he was feeling some slight discomfort he did not bother with investigating it yet

He left for the stele and his life seemed to have resumed as he would occasionally come in contact with unique stone steles using them to make up for him weaknesses. 

Additionally, his aura was starting to change into a peaceful one the time he had undergone numerous challenges each having a specific purpose it served. He could see the way forward, with most of the techniques especially when it came to breaking to the 5th level but put that aide.

However, he never planned to stop, he was already very immersed in this process and the more time passed the normal he looked until he no longer gave off the vibe of a martial artist. His entire self-had returned into a mortal and the understanding of the techniques reached a level of a genius due to it. 

The more techniques he had access to did not succeed in disrupting this and it was because he only stopped at the fourth level, something almost all of those that entered the highest stone steles could accomplish in the same if not less amount of time.

The third thing was that he had accomplished was that he had some direction forward and sure about it. But in the same time, he would not be in a rush to do that, until he either leaves this place or gets to master even more techniques. 

Before tempering his will, he thought of this but he had not yet the confidence, but at this moment he was sure and more importantly he had enough time to accomplish this. When he left this place, he would hope some faction was willing to take him in. His main goal is to find some place that is not too high and too low. 

The reason for it being that he could tell the people coming in were very strong, so their performance would attract the strongest factions. After entry and exit in many stone stele spaces, his benefits were incalculable and then he saw someone the instance he got out. 

It was the guy he had seen before, at this time he also seemed different, or to say more confident. But his state had yet to reach that of Musk.

"Brother! Your idea is ingenious! I have gained more than if I were to rush up there."

Looking at him Musk was confused, "Did I even ever talk to this guy? Why is he giving me credit for nothing?
