577 HEARTBEA (1/2)

Arjun read the procedure of how to master this peerless Origin Art! He was silent. Then he started to hate this Mind Palace. Every step he took regarding the Mind Palace was leading him to nothing but pain.

In the Manual, he read that his heart would be enveloped in the Origin Energy. Then the Origin Energy would extract all seven Cardinal Virtues and all the Cardinal Sins away from his heart. But it will put a lot of mental strain on him. And this time, the mental strain would be multiple times harder than when he tried to reach Level 11 of the Foundation Origin Stage to Level 12 of the Foundation Origin Stage!

He never forgot the horrible sensation when he struggled to reach from Level 11 of the Foundation Origin Stage to the Level 12 of the Foundation Origin Stage. But it helped him to awaken his Void Qi. So he was happy with the final result despite the mental turmoil he had to face.

But this time, he had to take multiple times the pain of that horrible experience only to extract all his virtues and sins. How could Arjun would not be angry after reading this? He bled his eyes, mouth, ears and nose. He even had to break his limits and spend more concentration to gather all that goddamn Luminous Energy. He had to depend on his Unique Dao of Intuition to only to open that fucking door.

And after he felt that his hard paid off after seeing this Origin Art, this Manual dropped another bomb on him. How could he not be angry when the requirement was to face the mental turmoil once again? And this would be his greatest challenge for his mental toughness.

\”No wonder! I became the first idiot to open this fucking door!\” ,Arjun said in anger, \”When you give us the chance to learn Mental Energy in exchange for this kind of mental burden, then who would dare to explore the fucking Mind Palace?\”

\”Who would dare to learn this Origin Energy other than an idiot like me?\” ,Arjun sighed as he said, \”Well, bring it on. I have no other choice but to let you mess with my mind!\”

As Arjun complained, he still agreed for it. He truly wanted this Cardinal Virtues and Cardinal Sins Origin Art to completely control it. This will be a great help for him in the near future to protect his family. How could he let go such an opportunity over some minor mental strain? He won't be stingy when it comes to his family's protection issue.

Arjun gritted his teeth and mentally prepared for what's going to be the worst suffering in his life. He followed the guidance and chanted the incantations which would extract his Cardinal Virtues and Cardinal Sins.

As soon as he was finished with chanting the incantation, he felt as if his heartbeat was increasing slowly. At first it was slow. But as the time passed, it felt as if, that heartbeat was increasing slowly.

But his heartbeat was still increasing rapidly. This time, some kind of untraceable exhaustion developed in his body. He gritted his teeth and tried to endure it. But he felt as if he was about to lose control over his own body.

As time passed, his heart was beating so furiously that, even any person within five meters radius could hear it. But Arjun closed his eyes very tightly. He doesn't want to make any noise. Because his stamina was already draining rapidly. If he make any noise, then there is a chance that, his stamina consumption would reach another level. He wanted to preserve as much stamina as possible.

After two days, his heartbeat was so loud, it was as if it was being hit by an hammer. His eyes were tearing as he was in a complete hopeless situation.

\”Endure it.\”

\”If there is no pain, then there is no gain.\”
