Void Vajra Sublimation

A Body Tempering Manual Zac created by modifying the Boundless Vajra Sublimation using Ultom insights.

## Creation

**Chapter 874**

* ... Void could replace the Boundlessness. Instead of relinquishing one’s self, you’d ensconce it in the void. That way, not even the Heavens themselves would be able to influence your heart or your path.
* For a normal cultivator, this path was utterly impossible – it was a path that required an absolute absence of the Dao. How else would you be able to comprehend and welcome the true void into your heart? Affinities were a bridge between yourself and the Heavens, and not even crippling your cultivation could remove that. As long as that bridge existed, you could not truly practice the kind of method Zac envisioned.
* In that sense, he was unique, a person completely lacking affinities, with a Void-related Bloodline to boot. As long as he could create that method, he’d become a black hole – he’d take anything he needed to progress, without letting outside elements affect his path or his heart. This would not just solve the immediate goal of getting a life-attuned constitution for his human side - but it would prove something he desperately wanted.
* A Heart Cultivation method that would protect you from undue outside influence, no matter if it was the System, the Buddhist Sangha, or the Remnants. He had been led around by the nose enough times by now that the thought of cultivating independence was almost as attractive as the thought of aligning his human constitution with his path.

**Chapter 897**

* As planned, Zac immediately focused his attention on the **[Void Vajra Sutra]** and the 81 expressions of the Void he had envisioned so as not to waste even a mote of Ultom's wisdom. Months of meditation and experimentation had led to this moment, and he almost felt like a student waiting for a verdict from their adviser.
* Having a real and practical understanding of the original Body Tempering Method and the effects of Heart Cultivation allowed him to go much further than the intangible conceptualization of last time.
* A pop echoed out in Zac's mind as though the proverbial barrier preventing his understanding crumbled like it was a real thing. Zac felt like his whole being had been unclogged when it all dawned on him. There was no gradual buildup, no formation of one void expression at a time. All at once, eighty-one elusive dots were born, forming a circle in the middle of his chest.
* From there, Zac methodically swapped out one piece of the technique after another, replacing boundlessness with void until a perfect system had been born.
* His memory contained all the layers of the **[Boundless Vajra Sublimation]**, but Zac would rather finish the simpler ones at the beginning than risk any mistakes. An imperfection in the earlier layers of the method would create problems down the road, and it was better to get things right from the start. Like with the **[Nine Reincarnations Manual]**, he would have to figure out the last layers when he got there. Just as the lights were about to wink out, Zac finalized the third Layer of his **[Void Vajra Sutra]**, which allowed him to breathe out in relief.

## Layers

### Boundless Varja

* The original **[Boundless Vajra Sublimation]** said that the fourth to sixth layers represented the Shackles of Man, Earth, and Heavens, respectively. **Chapter 1,175**
	+ The Shackle of Man represented one's past, distractions, and 'lowly pursuits.'
	+ The Shackle of Earth referred to one's reliance on factions and the desire for political power.
	+ The meaning behind the Shackle of Heaven was even more of a mystery, but Zac did know breaking it meant achieving Major Sublimation and reaching the next stage of Heart Cultivation. ... The Sixth Layer could only be cultivated after forming an Inner World.

### Void Vajra

* Zac's reinterpreted version of the Fourth Layer would still break these chains, though the symbolism behind them had changed. To Zac, breaking the Shackle of Man referred to one of the central tenets guiding his path; taking control of his fate. By becoming a Void Vajra, he'd stand outside the schemes of the mundane world, pursuing the Dao and his goals. **Chapter 1,175**

## Use as a Bloodline method

The **[Void Vajra Sublimation]** had allowed him to connect with his Void Emperor Bloodline in a way that **[Bloodline Resonance]** never had. Right now, it had only worked while he was running the method and was attuned to the Void, but that might not be the case forever. Every reincarnation with the **[**Nine Reincarnations Manual**]** gave him greater control over his soul. In the same vein, every layer of **[Void Vajra Sublimation]** might improve his natural control over his Bloodline.

Just turning the Hidden Nodes on and off was just the first step. **Chapter 945**

## The three realms of the Heart

### Void Self

The first realm, and the one he'd reached upon passing the first major threshold, was called Boundless Self. The stage of Boundless Self allowed his Dao Heart to impose its will upon his body. Boundless Self made what was true real, but not everything was true. In Zac's case, he rather nurtured a state of Void Self than a Boundless Self. **Chapter 996**

Zac had already confirmed that his Void Self of the heart had allowed him to control the Hidden Nodes in his body freely. **Chapter 1,002**

### Void Domain

The second realm of the Heart would arrive at the Major Sublimation and was called Boundless Domain. At that level, your heart didn't just see through truths and falsehoods of the self but everything you laid your eyes upon. Illusions would be nigh-useless when faced with someone who had reached Boundless Domain. **Chapter 996**

### True Void Heart

Finally, upon cultivating the method to the end of the ninth layer, you'd give birth to the True Boundless Heart. Nothing was actually mentioned about that stage, but it was obviously incredibly powerful. Of course, passing the final layer of the method was almost impossible. Just completing the first layer put you in the top percentile of all who cultivated the method. **Chapter 996**

## Commentary

* Zac barely managed to rework the fourth layer inside the Perennial Vastness, using a large amount of Mana to force a series of epiphanies. However, he hadn't even begun his work on the fifth. The original version was simply too esoteric, and Zac suspected he'd need an Earthly Dao of Life before even properly understanding it, let alone rewriting it. **Chapter 1,097**
* The truths on display were useless to Zac, and his incredibly steady Dao Heart prevented them from influencing him. **Chapter 1,126**
