Heart Cultivation

They were sitting in the lodge hall.

Jen gave basic ancient text to him and he was reading.

It would help him embark on his own path and future approach would not limit to itself, the world of cultivation was the constant evolution of the power and force, as long as one was not giving up, there was always a path set.

"This technique can be beneficial and we could both learn it," Jen showed the text of a technique, it was not simple nor complex so they could learn without a proper guidance of some mentor.

Zhi Chang read through and nodded, it could indeed be beneficial when a cultivator advance previous realm then it was necessary to learn some techniques which could complement the present strength else any experienced enemy can defeat easily.

"If you think you needed the guidance of a mentor then we can search one in the cultivation school, they might provide a mentor suitable for a Legend level disciple," Jen suggested because it was necessary sometimes to have the guidance of a learned mentor.

"I have basic concepts and my own cultivation growth path, I will look for one if I met any difficulty," Zhi Chang has the habit to solve his own problems especially when it was about cultivation and learning, if he still felt stuck he could always consult with Jen about it.

Jen smiled, she could understand his reservation.

She knew he must have created his own path for learning and it was good for perfect development and a cultivator rarely stuck in such situation, because self-created path would not let the cultivation go astray during cultivation or learning.

They chose to sit in their rooms and don"t disturb each other, Zhi Chang needed a separate session, it has been long since he last studied his cultivation base and checked the strength of two armors, his insights were also there to get some level increase.

Jen started to learn the new technique with the help of her fury armor, this technique was called Flare Mammoth, it was created by the extreme heart cultivators who were experts in using the fury in actual battles.

Usually fury alone cannot be employed for a real battle, it always essentially require the balance between two armors else the cultivator might lost control over the situation and the fury might collapse the strong position resulting a defeated battle or wounded cultivator.

Two armors were equally necessary when seeking a battle, if a cultivator wanted to win battle depending on his fury like mostly extreme cultivators relay on rage or the fifth level fury, they require to learn a technique which not only complement their cultivation base but the level of cultivation too.

The cultivators can learn technique that would keep the rage in balance and not rampage unnecessarily.

Flare Mammoth was a second grade technique created for Legend level cultivators, usually lower levels learn third grade techniques, as the levels increase with the realms the grades of the technique would also rise up.

The dominion a legend cultivator possess was strong and a strong technique can hold rampaging fury, only geniuses could explore the techniques in better way and manipulate the strength, they can also use a fury technique at the same time using peace armor.

It completely depended on the level of approach in the end.

Jen and Zhi Chang were both geniuses of same level just that Zhi Chang was currently facing the disadvantages of remaining in a crystal bead for whole three years.

Jen could tell that this technique can wield enough power to burn down the battle place and the enemy at the same time if the wielder was not willing to control its flow.

The seven layers of the fury armor can only be restricted with techniques, as for as it was about her own layers, she has tamed them long ago, it was when she found out how much fury can bring disaster she choose to study peace armor more in depth.

She was using these layers in her learning and her increased levels was due to her perfect balance between layers, there were few layers which she intentionally never disturbed because of the dangers laying in them.

Absolute stage and the Zero stage was the two layers which she was afraid to disturb, absolute stage has its own rationality and it can directly pounce the surrounding without any limit and control, the only way she used back then to control it was to use the in depth coldness of the Yellow River, which was a pointer given by the Creek.

Black clouds of Zero stage can devour rationality, though this layers seemed without any visible temperature but it also the devilish way of this layer like someone prepare for ambush in the silence.

It seemed if she wanted to learn this technique she has to use one of them as the main force for her technique,

Jen was considering to use her absolute stage for this purpose, the layer was limitless and matched with the flare but she could use her control to activate this layer for the Flare Mammoth, Jen can only imagine how it would look when the layer would meet the technique.

She decided to practice first part of learning in the lodge and then look for an open place to combine the power of technique and the layer.

A compact lodge won"t provide enough s.p.a.ce for her layer and she might burn the lodge completely because in initial learning she cannot guarantee anything until she has grasped the technique.

An open s.p.a.ce would let her understand the true capacity of the layer and how much far it could create the effects of flare was also part of her learning.

With the advancement, she needed to reserve a bigger area under her territory during a battle, it would be advantageous to keep away the enemy from any ambush.

Bigger battles always show up cultivators who wanted to win with ambush, only ambush could let them win with little ease else every cultivator wanted to win in the end.

As expected, absolute stage monster showed up as soon as she spread her fury armor.

She was smaller and immature back then, during her learning she has to borrow the peace armor to control fury and the depth of coldness but now she was learned and mature to let loose the absolute monster, right, it should be called or nicknamed absolute monster.

Despite her complete control still Zhi Chang was able to sense what was going on, he smiled, "She is always impatient but not careless," he was working on his insights, it was long time that he used his insights and this caused his essence chord to remain in mess, if he wanted to work it properly then he needed to organize his thoughts.

The insights necessarily require complete focus and control on the heart and mind, the essence chord"s strength depend on the strength of heart and mind and their collaborative focus.

In future what he needed most in learning, it was his control over the cultivation and essence chord can only help to control.

Second elder himself visited the school of cultivation and proposed the suggestion which they were agreed on today, the dean was pleasantly surprised.

"I can give some completion battles for few senior disciples if they are enough capable, they will be sent to the crown house to receive the position of protectors," the dean wanted to act as soon as possible but he also wanted to give fair chance to all geniuses and capable, he would also make sure that sincere disciple can only be selected.

"I admire your suggestion, I will be waiting for the disciples then," the second elder was satisfied, now he was going to see some of the factions of the Clandestine Manias, these factions were currently in a mess due to the fact that the position of the crown was empty for whole week.

Tomorrow was the crown ceremony and he would warn the officials to not create imbalance in the factions else they would be stripped from their positions and more capable and sincere people would take the charge.

It was necessary to show them some force of action either the people on such positions usually try to create mess intentionally in the particular situations just like this one.

Lin"an was preparing to get the guidance of two mentors at the same time, while other elders were trying to create peace in the central city, the crown house has emptied out its sources and through peace they could beckon people to work to support the growth of Manias.

It would take a while to control and grasp the situation as well as let people feel safe.

Once people feel safe, they would work fearlessly and this way the Manias would return to its prosperous days though it"s been many years when the people last witnessed peace and prosperity.
