Raven slowly blinked his eyes twice before sitting up and yawning loudly . He had woken up from deep sleep and the soul power was completely replenished. Actually Raven could feel that due to the tempering through pressure , his soul had become much stronger than before .
Raven to test for any improvement activated his Divine Sense but the radius did not change . Instead his Divine Sense had become denser which was qualitative improvement so Raven was happy .
The Elder had not come to inform him so Raven at least had some time remaining from his free one month or maybe only a few days have passed ? Raven sighed in the end because he truly lacked the sense of time in such cases and this would only intensify in future . Raven checked time on his smartphone all the time in his past life , so he would need a lot of time to get used to this experience .
After pondering for a minute , Raven shrugged as thinking about this issue anymore would only waste his time. Soon a huge grin hung on his face because he recalled the previous dense white aura enveloping his sword .
This phenomena meant that Raven had reached perfection Realm in Sword Intent so he had all the right to feel happy . Raven did not think previously that he would improve so much but he had to be careful in future as he currently could not keep track of his soul power exhaustion. This was a demerit of being immune to pain as even though Raven had advantage on others but it did not come without risks either .
Others could only slowly get used to pain while gradually comprehending the meaning of sword through tempering their will by exposing it to that of the predecessors. But Raven skipped the gradual part thus shortening the time to extremely less . The benifits were also huge so Raven chose to rejoice instead of brooding on the risks as he had other matters to focus on too .
Raven had decided to enter closed door cultivation and reach the realms as many as he could with the help of all the beast cores in his possession . They were too many so Raven had the confidence that the peak Martial Peak Realm was not out to reach either. He could only say so because he could cultivate roughly using the cores but not many could attempt this method much less suffer no backlash from pain .
Raven sent his soul power / will power inside the painting once again but as he had expected, he could not feel any attraction force from the painting anymore . This could only mean that the painting only contained the perfection realm of Sword Intent so Raven could only hope to encounter higher symbols containing the will of predecessors in future. He had no doubt there will be many such encounters in the Western Region where experts were countless in number , so Raven chose to exit the Weapon Hall as he could no longer benifit further from here . Now Raven had to complete the task of finding a nice and spacious place to enter closed door cultivation as he planned to practice skills too but his residence covered a very small area .
Thus Raven greeted the Elder who had checked his Token before and went to visit Sam also hoping to meet Daisy because he would be unavailable for next few months in future . Sadly after scanning the mansion , Raven did not find Daisy inside so he went inside to find Sam .
" Sam , I had a favour to ask from you ! "
" Do tell young master . As long as I have the power to help you .. " Sam was being his usual serious and uptight man but Raven only had a small request .
It would be waste of time argue with Sam as Raven had failed once in the past to convince him to change the soldier like attitude towards him . In the end Sam was the one who continued to lecture Raven about the duty and etiquette required for a guard for hours . Raven simply did not want to go through that boring lecture once again .
" Cough . Sam , I wanted to ask if you can provide me with a temporary bigger residence to cultivate for a while . The retreat may take a few months so my residence is a bit small for practicing Martial Skills . "
Sam went into thought for just a few seconds as he naturally knew about many such mansions but most of them were currently occupied .
" Young Master can accompany me now and I can quickly show you around a few available mansions . "
" No no no , I just want one so you can choose instead as it will be a pain to explore them one by one . I also want you to inform anyone that asks for me in future that I will be unavailable for few months at least . "
" Certainly, young master ! " Sam bowed and gestured Raven to follow him with a wave of his hand .
Almost all the big mansions were located inside the Elder Residential Area but a few were scattered around the huge Inner Court too . Sam took Raven to one Mansion near the Sect Market and Raven was quickly satisfied just after knowing the fact that the mansion contained a Practice Hall inside .
Practice Halls were just huge empty rooms which contained some basic equipment to train in Martial Skills . For higher Level Skills, they had almost no use but having a room dedicated for Skill practice only was luxurious and totally good with Raven .
Sam would take the matters of Authorization in his hands so Raven did not waste any more time and stepped inside the new mansion . It was more than four times bigger than his previous residence but the rooms were much more spacious . If something required his immediate attention then they could contact Raven with the communication Formation inscribed inside the Sect Token . So Raven entered inside the Cultivation Room with a peaceful mindset .
The room had higher Level Energy Gathering Formation inscribed . Raven planned to absorb the energy inside beast cores so the Formation was actually of little importance to him .
Raven relaxed and sat down on the small platform while taking out a Level 3 core from his space ring . He squeezed the core a little and soon started his Cultivation Frenzy .
