Heart Cultivation

Whoever seeks for peace must fight for it first, so the struggle was never ending, everyone strive for the best and the priority was definitely one"s oneself, it revolves around self-interests shattering the dream of peace because peace was possible only after people gave up on the individual interest.

The upper sphere was filled with arrogant geniuses and they wanted to prove their strength, it was ridiculous fact that most of the strong people would attack on the weak to prove their strength without feeling ashamed.

Xuan Rong was sitting on his throne when the custodian came to apprise the various information sent by the guardian beast from different regions of the Celestial Sphere, other than some small disputes there was no big conflict.

There were already pile up concerns about the future of Celestial Sphere, in presence of these threats the news of temporary peace seemed a threat too.

Other than internal conflicts between pillars of the Celestial Sphere, there were constant dogfights between experts, the hunters also showed up and in the middle of this mess the upper sphere was ready to announce Nianru as the head defender who was worst enemy and wanted to destroy the whole sphere.

"What happened to the lower sphere?" Jen came and sat there, today she was going to learn how to constantly cultivate without sitting idle.

Xuan Rong opened his eyes, he could not find enough time to go back in the lower sphere despite the fact that he wanted to destroy those who destroyed his sect.

He did not answer, his silence let her understand that he had not visited it yet, Jen has sliver of hope that if her great grandfather went in the lower sphere he might be able to dug out the truth and punish the criminals.

"If you are living in the Defender Hacienda for some time, I might be able to leave it for one day," he spoke thinking that he should visit his birth place and see what was happening there, when en was brought in this sphere, there was war recently and it was not clear whether the enemy has accepted defeat completely or he was preparing for another war, what would have happened to the General Wong who sheltered two months child (Jen).

The emperor severally hate the General Wong and he might not have accepted defeat.

There was also reason for concern, the Zhang Ming Empire has only one expert Jen Ming back then with the fifty veteran experts, and after she was brought in the Celestial Sphere, there might not be a single expert for some time to protect it from enemy, the veteran experts were not accomplished and they work separately which results their strength to divide and became weak.

"I am here for some time," Jen answered brief.

Xuan Rong heard and nodded, "Then I will leave today," he stomped his feet on the ground and number of custodians appeared, they were given the responsibility to take care grandchild and the cultivation layers.

After spending few hours and explaining how the technique work for the separate layers, he went out from the Defender Hacienda, he gave strict orders to the guardian beasts to keep the check at the various sensitive regions, he was about to open the dimensional parameter, it would trigger the biggest barrier and the evil cultivators might find this chance to ruin it, the howling and threatening guardian beasts would make sure to keep them away.

After giving instructions he returned in the Defender Hacienda. Jen was sitting silently and concentrating on her heart, Xuan Rong told her that until she was able to learn how to control the will of her heart she might not be able to learn how to separate her layers since layers were part of her two armors, it would benefit her many ways and the most eye catching was that her heart would learn how to remain strong in several conditions and situations.

It was not easy to control the will of heart, and it does not resemble with the essence chord which was considered will of the focused mind, stronger heart would allow to separate the layers from its core, perhaps it could also help overcome her turmoil.

"I need you to hold the strings of dimensional parameter until I return from lower sphere," Xuan Rong saw her focused on her learning, why he said that if she was in the Defender Hacienda for some time only then he would be able to visit lower sphere, because she would have to open this parameter for him when he would return.

"I am only Legend," she spoke with concern.

"You are a supreme Legend," he spoke confident.

When he brought her back, he was pleasantly happy to see that Jen chose this path, now the chances of her being selected as the Defender were high, Xuan Rong cannot trust the greedy pillars of Celestial sphere and their kins, they were only greedy for the highest position without thinking whether they deserve this position or not.

Such high positions were given to those who don"t vie for self-interest, who wanted to protect this sphere and those who were loyal from the heart.

The supreme trials were conducted for this purpose.

Jen only lack higher levels of cultivation, "Since your injuries are completely healed, and your acmes pairs are fill, you can use solar star, Sky Thunder Martinet would help you sustain it and reopen when I send an indication," he cleared her questions.

He particularly invited Sky Thunder Martinet to live in the Defender Hacienda until he returns, it would make sure the safety of his grandchild in his absence.

Jen walked and stood beside him, she was slightly surprised that her grandfather immediately got ready to visit the lower sphere as soon as she talked about it.

"Before this, I was concerned since you are here in the Defender Hacienda I can visit the lower sphere with ease because I cannot trust anyone other than my kin," he patted her head.

"Rest a.s.sured grandfather," she smiled vaguely.

There was no one who she wanted to bring back from lower sphere, she was not sure whether he uncle and aunt were alive, what happened to little Li, whether Yellow River was still existing? What happened between the enmities of two empires? Was the king still after the legacy? The fellow learners and Creeks all has become her past yet she remembered them well.

"Worry not, if I found anyone from our sect, I will bring along," Xuan Rong spoke and the Sky Thunder Martinet appeared on the sky, it came down and bowed.

Xuan Rong blasted the s.p.a.ce in front of him and walked inside, as he disappeared inside, the s.p.a.ce vanished too leaving a seal behind, it fell on the ground, Jen picked it up and saved in her storage.

She has seen how her grandfather used this seal to open the dimensional parameter.

"Miss Jen, I hope you are better now, but I wanted to know how you impressed my cub so much that she is madly occupied to become strong and then become your Escort Sentient, you must be aware that Sky Thunder Martinet race never submit to humans," it was concerned for the future of little cub, their race was rare and they were feared if a Sky Thunder Martinet happened to submit a human then it would be an unheard event in the history of Celestial Sphere.

"Oh, that little creature," Jen almost forgot but now she remembered that little cub was tagging along her as if unwilling to separate but back then she was going to partic.i.p.ate in the intermediate battles, and she could not think about it, now that senior Thunder Martinet brought it up, was the little animal really serious about it?

She could see several expressions on the face of the strongest beast, it really wanted to know what magic she used? But she did not even pampered that little cub much less to coax for becoming escort sentient, she disregard to give her attention many times which little animal constantly complained then how come it turned out that little cub was impressed to the extent to submit a human.

"I only promised it to safely send back to dwelling, there were few occasions when I thought I might lose her or someone stronger might forcefully s.n.a.t.c.h the cub but at the end I was able to fulfill my promise," Jen explained what happened back then.

"I see, she must be impressed with your demeanor and ways, though we Thunder Martinet race rarely get impress from anything but it seemed she is like her father, I also respect Defender Xuan Rong and willing to render my life if he need in a time of trouble," he slightly bowed there was no arrogance in its tone but the sense of being rare and strong, also there was visible tone of loyalty.
