the techniques faes chose were the most difficult and rare techniques that not even aiden himself was able to learn in all his life. he had gotten them in a mission he went to perform and had accidentally found them. they belonged to the person who caused the incident all those years ago. if not for that incident then the world would have been different than what it was currently. aiden had a feeling that both faes and that person were related in some kind of way this was also one of the reasons that he chose to believe her. in the whole world only that person was able to use this cultivation method and no matter how many tried to use it they didnt succeeded until faes claimed that she had tried and succeeded in using the method.
after warning faes aiden gave her a basic explanation of the techniques to faes and let her begin to train and cultivate according to it.
faes after being along took a look at the technique again and decided to begin with her cultivation technique. sitting cross legged she began to use the cultivation method to cultivate. she had chosen this method because not only this method was powerful it allowed her to gather each and every type of qi and magic particles. this cultivation can also keep up with her leveling up and also increase the amount of mana points of each level up.
the technique was called yin yang celestal spirit ascension art. in this the cultivator absorbs the qi around them. a spherical field is formed when the method is activated and then the field absorbs the surrounding qi and magic particles and send them to the cultivator to absorb. once the cultivator absorbs the qi and magic particles they go to the dantain and then move in the body once nourishing it before finally settling in the dantain.
this technique increases the amount of mana by absorbing the qi and magic particles in the surrounding using the field force and also by nourishing the body which makes it competent to hold a lots of mana irrespective of their cultivation level.
this method was difficult because the formation of force field is not possible without strong spirit and soul. faes had tested the method before and found that forming the field was quite easy to her. she have to imagine a sphere around her at a distance according to her cultivation level then form resonance with the qi and magic particles around the sphere using her mana. once the resonance gets settled the field gets established then the cultivator have to form a link to themselves till the sphere so that the sphere can send the mana to them. after it they just have to absorb the mana and cultivate.
faes was able to do this because she knew about waves and force fields from physics in her world. faes realised that the qi and magic particles show wave nature along with particle nature just like what she had learned back on earth regarding the dual behavior of light. the qi and logic particles also have different shape and sizes along with different strength. when one is in lower cultivation level they can only absorb the particles which have low strength but it increases when they get further in their cultivation. once the cultivator gets in high level of cultivation they can absorb all kind of particles.
when the wave nature was established in cultivator they develop an aura around them which also serves as the resonance and creates the link. faes was able to do this easily and began to cultivate. the qi and magic particles in the surrounding area began to get absorbed through the field and entered faes body. once the mana entered her dantain it began to roam her body but faes did some changes to the method and controlled the mana from just moving around. instead she made it go to a particular area and nourish it before returning to the dantain. this used up lots of mana she absorbed but it only served as steroid for the field as it became more powerful and began to absorb lots of mana around.
faes continued to do this until she broke through core formation stage of cultivation. actually she was close to breakthrough as she had hunted the rabbits and was gaining exp from learning new methods and techniques. as she broke through faes felt that her dantain was overflowing with qi and magic particles. aiden had told faes that to form the core faes have to condense until it turns into mist then in the core strengthen stage one have to condense it until a crystal is formed. faes knew that to condense the mana into mist she have to stop the overflow so she blocked her dantain to keep the mana inside while supplying more mana to it. soon the mana began to turn into tiny drops and form mist.
faes continued to cultivate until she was core forming stage 2.
once she was on stage 2 she stopped her cultivation and field crumbled. faes wanted to continue but she realised that as she began to level up the amount of mana kept increasing at alarming rate and it would be better to cultivate for sometime while hunting to get exp and level up.
looking at the other methods faes took the next cultivation method she chose which was to cultivate one's spirit force. spirit force was an extension of one's soul which was similar to qi but was mostly used in mind manipulation, creating and destroying illusions, increase focus and mana capacity along with other uses. faes found it useful as she had realised that her leveling up did not affect her spirit so she decided to cultivate using this method.
again the method she chose was most difficult according to aiden. it was called celestial spirit transformation. in this method a person have to make contact with their soul or spirit in their consciousness and then using qi or magic particles strengthen it. a cultivator have to treat the soul just like body when they were cultivating and strengthening the soul. this method also uses a field to absorb the mana but it was mostly spiritual qi or light and dark magic particles. if a person uses light magic particles then they would begin to grow towards divine virtues while if one uses dark particles they go towards evil. spiritual qi is served as neutral along with the grey magic particles formed by fusion of light and dark ones also serve the same function.
faes decided that she would use spiritual qi and then began to cultivate. her soul was transmigrated but because her soul was strong due to suffering from hardships in her first life she was able to use this method easily. as she began to cultivate she felt that her consciousness which was normally like empty space with only her soul floating was changing. the space changed turning into bright night sky with many big and small stars just like a galaxy while the ground around her soul turned into purple disc on which her soul was sitting in lotus position.
faes created the field around the disc and began to absorb the mana doing the same thing that she did to her body.
a persons soul was same as their body, it just stays in the consciousness and its aura which was also known as spirit force was used by the cultivator in the same way as mana was used, but faes soul was transmigrated hence her soul looked different from her current original body.
faes realised that there wasnt different cultivation for soul. it was just divided into weak, average and strong which further is divided into initial medium and late stages. faes soul was already on initial average stage.
when she cultivated her soul broke through medium avaerage stage soon.
faes then stopped cultivating as she realised that her cultivation was kind of too fast.
aiden who came to check on faes after he sensed the mana depleting rapidly and it was dinner time was startled as he realised that faes indeed was able to use the cultivation methods and not only she broke through two levels of cultivation her soul force also became stronger in comparision.
'she is a freak' he thought as he shook his head.
"its time for dinner" aiden said waking up faes who just stopped her cultivation.
"alright i will come there let me wash first." faes replied as she realised that she was covered in some foul smelling substance again but this time the smell was way too much for her due to her hightened senses.
'i might throw up if i dont bath right now'
hearing her and watching her crumpled faes aiden laughed and waved her off to go and wash. he wasnt vothered by the smell as he had experience to control his senses so he just went to kitchen and prepared the plates. if he were a little bit late in turning he would have seen faes vanish on her spot as she entered her space and directly went to get a nice shower.
