Chapter 50 - Jeremys Fleeting Thoughts (1/2)

When he finished inspecting his upper dantian's current situation, Jeremy discovered that mana particles divided into two parts...

To be exact, they were now trying to separate from one another...

That's why there were two mana portions within Jeremy's upper dantian.

The first one being his original purest mana particles moving here and there freely within the dantian, while the second one being the newly arrived inferior mana particles acting like scaredy cats huddling together near dantian's border.

As for the whirlpool and mana liquid at the dantian's center, they remained the same without being bothered by any of the two sides.

'Ah... It is as I've thought.'

'The hierarchy between the two sides is too vast as they are distancing themselves from one another. Then, doesn't it mean that a mana particle is really a full-fledged living being as in Grand Wizard Judarth's assumption?'

'No, the behavior of establishing hierarchy might just be a simple reaction caused by its unique chemistry or universal laws imposed by the universe, as living things need to have cells and are capable of reproducing, but mana doesn't meet those conditions. Hmm... if mana is not a living thing; is it a semi-living thing then?'

'Anyhow, it is very interesting. It seems like I will have to research more into this topic later on.'

Having finished those theoretical thoughts, Jeremy changed his focus back to his upper dantian's interior.

After seeing that he now had two types, or in fact, two qualities of mana within one dantian, while one side acted like royalty, another side acted like peasantry.

While those royalties were running amok within the dantian's dark space, those peasantries were huddling together in fear at the dantian's edge.

It was such a definitive hierarchy...

Upon inspecting for some more time, Jeremy still found nothing severe or detrimental from his mana being divided into two portions, as that reaction should be as expected, considering the difference in mana's quality of the two sides.

Jeremy was sure that no matter what he did towards them, for now, those mana particles would never be able to mix together.

They were like two different kinds...

They could not stay together for some reason...

'Am I lucky or unlucky to have the mana's quality of this magnitude?' Jeremy thought depressingly.

The reason why Jeremy thought he was unlucky was because...

Those occurrences alone had made him unable to cultivate and absorb mana particles in the atmosphere, causing him incapable of forming any more mana liquid at the dantians' disk spaces.

What did that even mean?

In a straightforward way, Jeremy concluded that he had no other way of making his three dantians replenish their own mana 'independently'.

In a roundabout way, it meant that as long as Jeremy didn't activate the 'Mage of Origin' title, he would be unable to advance to class 1 True Mage.

Nevertheless, there was still a way for Jeremy to replenish mana, and that way consisted of four steps.

The first step was to enter the realm of Mindful Body to gain absolute control over his own body.

Then Jeremy had to create the same vortex to connect its tail end with the dantian's protective layer.

Upon establishing the connection successfully, he needed to access the 10th stage of meditation to maintain the status quo of his dantian.

Lastly, Jeremy had to wait for low-quality mana from the outside world to be absorbed into his dantian forcefully.

Like that, after finishing all those four steps, Jeremy would get some inferior-quality mana into his dantians.

It was such an arduous process that would pay him off with only 3 or 4 percent of his total mana capacity.

Was it even worth his time and efforts in the first place, though?

Well, Jeremy didn't know it was worth his time and effort or not, but he was sure of one thing.
