After reading the complete divine chapter Toro needs some time to process everything.
Many things changed after he learned that he was an innate divine being. His whole life turned over and he had to plan his future life anew.
At first, he just wanted to try out cultivation and maybe trying to join some sects or the kingdom's army.
Though Toro was a young boy and almost just a kid, he was not delusional. He had dreams like any other kid.
To become an immortal and lord over everyone else. Killing monsters and subduing dragons.
But dreams are dreams and he knows this.
Cultivation was probably for him just like every other mortal commoner child just a secondary hobby that they do.
But now, everything changed!
Divine Being! Innate Divine Being!
Not under the restrictions of heaven not under anyone! Free and unfettered!
His dreams, which would only be dreams, for his entire life could be no longer be dreams but reality.
Just thinking of this brings Toro´s blood to boil!
Calming down and thinking everything through, again and again, Toro comes to a decision.
'I will just try it. If it is true, that I am a divine being as long as I achieve the first stage of qi condensation I will be able to start my cultivation journey. Even if I fail, I can just try in my next life, hahaha!'
After making his decision Toro does not waste time and starts his first cultivation session.
Before he can do anything he of course reads the introduction and the first chapter, the qi chapter, again to familiarize himself with the [Sensing the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth Mantra] and the first steps of cultivation.
After reading the first chapter multiple times and completely memorizing the [Sensing the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth Mantra] Toro has the feeling that he is ready.
So after calming down and trying to get into a meditative state Toro starts to recite the [Sensing the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth Mantra].
"Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth. Containing Everything. Containing Nothing. The Truths of the World in One and Myriad. Complicated but also Simple...."
While reciting the mantra Toro follows its instructions. While having his eyes closed and having his body in a comfortable position, he does not just have to recite the [Sensing the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth Mantra] but also trying to comprehend the truths behind it.
According to the mantra introductions, this will not just help to sense the spiritual energy but also building a better connection to it.
Though Toro does not know why it does or why it is important to build a better connection now, he will know later in his path of the dao.
After multiple hours of reciting, comprehending the mantra, and also trying to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Toro´s body and mind are exhausted.
His head has a slight headache his voice is slightly hoarse and his body hurts. Besides that, he also has a lot of hunger.
Toro also knows why.
While his body did not make any movement besides moving his vocals cords and mouth, his mind did a lot of work.
Trying to comprehend the mantra and sensing spirit energy consumes a lot of mental energy. And his mind can not support this kind of consumption.
So his body delivers energy for the mind because as long Toro does not absorb spirit energy he will not be able to feed his mind directly.
After ending his first meditation and cultivation session he goes to the orphanage kitchen to eat something.
