Once the kid calmed down from the system incident he went straight towards the book that was now slightly hovering off the ground. 'Wow this whole thing is so magical it almost feels like a dream.' The whole situation finally seemed to dawn on him. 'Wow I really am dead aren't I... I know this isn't a dream because I've experienced lucid dreams on multiple occasions when I was alive... Anyways power I need the strength to survive wherever I am now. I'm sure my family is just as fine as ever. I need to get in the zone.'
thus he walked over to the book that was hovering slightly near him.
He opened the first page and the only thing it said was warning in big red letters and slightly below that it said, not for the faint of heart and don't eat to quickly.
'I could understand it not being for the faint of heart being that it's a heavenly demon manual but what's this about not eating to quickly. Is the book worried about me getting indigestion?' The kid slightly smiled when he thought this to himself.
Then he started reading through the introductions contents. About an hour later he put down the book and heaved out a long sigh. 'Ugh this book is way more dangerous then I thought it'd be it really meant what it says when it said don't eat to quickly. That's because this teaches a method where I can eat demonic and angelic beasts in order to gain strength. Well that's just one of the 99 parts of the dao path but once you start cultivating the breathing technique you'll have to eat a certain amount of living qi from one of the two beings. The worst part is if you don't eat enough your powers will start to wane like you are physically weak and the symptoms only get worse over time. Also if you eat to much your body may instantaneously implode. The amount of living qi that is needed is proportional to the amount of spiritual qi that flows within your body. The only upside is that I won't need to eat any beast meat until mid phase of spirit body level. Basically it seems that I'll need to eat beasts in the future...' The kid finally realized the bad luck of the situation. 'But it seems like if I master this breathing technique I can increase the amount of qi I can store to about 80 which would be late phase of body refinement level it says it should take around 10 days to reach that point. I don't really understand how breathing a certain way is going to increase the amount of spiritual qi inside my body but I guess I'll give it a try.'
Thus the kid sat cross legged in the center of the room rested his palms lightly on his thighs and started practicing his breathing technique.
After about 2 hours of trying to get the rhythm down he felt himself starting to feel frustrated so he decided to get up and stretch. He walked around the room a couple of times picked back up the book and reviewed what he learned so far. after about 10 minutes of review he hurriedly put down the book and continued his training as if he had a sudden breakthrough. 9 hours later he opened his eyes slowly 'Wow this really is something amazing I feel as if I've been blending into the environment around me as if I had become a force of nature myself.' the kid lost in wonderment. Then suddenly he sprang to his feet as fast as he could and when he did he banged his head against the roof.
Bang
'What the hell did I just jump about 3 feet in the air' he thought to himself as he held his head from the pain. 'anyways I feel like I've officially broken into the body enhancement stage that the book was talking about. now on to body refinement' he then sat back down and continued training with the breathing exercise.
