Chapter 56: Severing Ties (1/2)
”Thus, I feel giving you this secret is the least I could do, and it would have been much more complete if I had a cultivation technique for you to cultivate this energy but I don't…”
”The one I use was made with the mindset of cultivating within the Land of the Light…”
Uncle Min sighed in self-ridicule and shook his head in defeat;
”You gave us a complete life, but I can't even give you a complete method to cultivate; I guess even after all that's happened, I am still incredibly useless...” Uncle Min muttered absentmindedly…
Dara simply looked at him with a smile, but he was crazily bursting with joy on the inside…
This was because the technique he had gotten from the Dark Soul's memories had the perfect solution to the problem Uncle Min thought he had…
The Numen of Ancient Scholars technique had two volumes, and they were termed;
[The Testaments of Ancient Devas] and [The Testaments of Ancient Asuras];
and from what he could understand, the Asura part of this cultivation technique involved using unholy and unorthodox Qi gotten from either Demonic Qi, Death Qi or Dual Cultivation and many other unorthodox means…
Then the Deva part of this cultivation involved using Holy and Orthodox Qi gotten from nature or treasures…
Furthermore, the Asura part of this technique was a body cultivation method whilst the Deva part was Qi cultivation method which made this technique a perfect Body and Qi cultivation technique…
But the only drawback for now was the fact that Dara could only still access only the first paragraphs of both paths of this cultivation technique, and from what he could tell, this first paragraph must refer to the Qi Creation realm…
But Dara still wasn't overly bothered because he could sense that the rest of the techniques were present, and perhaps he would simply need to get strong enough to a level where he can withstand the strain of getting the second chapter from the Dark Soul's memories…
'I would simply start cultivating in the body path first then…'
Dara thought to himself in delight, but he managed to display a composed expression so as not to give away his secrets…
”I can feel it within me; that my meridians would reveal themselves soon enough, and by then I will use your method and try cultivating as you have spoken…”
”If I can luckily find a way to cultivate the technique, then that means the luck of my parents and sister is with me, and if not, the worst that could happen is that I might ruin my meridians, but I would still be alive though, since the Death Qi cannot kill me…”
Dara spoke as Uncle Min brought out a patch of beast skin where some scribblings were written atop;
”That is the technique; I want you to memorize it because I am going to burn it in the next one hour…”
Uncle Min handed the patch of skin to Dara and stood up as he prepared to return into the apartment;
”Then as for the smoke in the distance, it looks like a battle between humans, or perhaps humans and the beats and monsters that roam this lands, and since only your village can produce such vast amounts of manpower whilst also being close to the Grey Lands, then I strongly predict that they might be the one there…”
He said as he walked away, leaving Dara to memorize the contents within the beast skin…
Dara began to read the technique with which he could cultivate the Qi of these lands, and he had to say, Uncle Min's father was a really wise man…
Though, he didn't describe much about how someone born within the Grey or Dark Lands should cultivate this Qi, he only had the insinuation that since they were born here, they should not face the danger of having a part of their body die just to obtain the purest Qi on the planet…
But as for Dara who already had a cultivation technique which used the exact type of Qi, he only needed to separate the Death aura when opening his meridians, but after that, he would simply directly absorb the Death Qi directly…
”The natural laws of the universe that maintains balance…”
”In a land filled with death, hopelessness and terror, it still managed to supplement it with the purest form of energy that keeps supplying life to it anyways…”
Dara shook his head in wonder as he gained a deeper understanding about balance…
”I better keep a very solid balance between my cultivation paths in the future…” Dara soliloquized and took a mental note of it…
”I am already in the final training phase; the Flesh Strengthening stage, which not only strengthens my flesh but also expands the pores in every part of my body to allow a much freer and better exchange of natural energy between me and nature…”
In less than half an hour, Dara was done reading and then went to find Uncle Min who had already found Aunt Lin and they all gathered together in front of the ring of fire;
