When aran got back to the mansion after his talk with Gallion, he went straight to the training room and summoned the book. Because he knew that he will have to learn some new skills about mana array formations to perform his breakthrough method.
After summoning the book, he commanded it to show some basics of Array formations. Soon, many basic techniques appeared, such as the technique of forming the array foundation on the ground with mana, and with that technique, some basic Mana letters also appeared.
Aran had to master that technique and he had to learn all the mana letters since basic foundation and mana letters are necessary for all the array formations.
He immediately leaned them without wasting any time and started his training.
Three days later, while he was training to draw the array base, Gallion visited him to inform him about the materials he had ordered.
" I have talked to someone about the items and he told me, they will be ready in less than two months! " Gallion said.
"That's perfect! And one more thing, I need you to find a private place. A place to keep those items and perform my breakthrough method.
Make sure that the place is private and no one comes there. After getting the items, take all of them to that place and inform me, when everything is ready! "
Since Aran was going to perform a demonic method, he had to make sure that no one knows about that.
" I will take care of that but what about the payment? "
Hearing that,aran called a servant and told him to give Gallion a thousand high-tier spirit stones from his account.
"I think, that's more than the actual cost. Take them and make sure that everything stays confidential " Aran said as he didn't want others to know about this and question his methods. As Gallion saw the money, he instantly accepted it and left after collecting the spirit stones from the servant, and aran continued his training.
After training for a week he was finally able to create a perfect array foundation with mana on the floor.

Since there was a lot of time before his breakthrough, Aran decide to learn some more new techniques. So he summoned the book again and looked for some low-ranked swords and physical techniques.
With the cultivation of the beginner stage, aran couldn't perform any teachings that were higher than the low rank.
As he looked at the book, there were only a few heavenly techniques.
Although it wasn't difficult for Elrich to create a heavenly sword or physical techniques since he only had to consider the Mana points on a heavenly cultivator's body, Elrich had only created so few heavenly techniques. Since he was a demonic cultivator, he had mostly focused on creating new demonic techniques.
Out of all the techniques that appeared in the book, Aran chose two of them and decided to master them.
One of them was a third-ranked sword technique. It looked a little similar to the technique that he learned in the cave but It had more forms.
The second technique was a physical technique. It was also a third-ranked technique, called the Rapid-blood-flowing technique. It was written that when someone masters this technique and uses it, he could precisely control the blood flow in his body with the mana, and increase the strength and speed up to two to three times, for more than ten minutes and the user will be able to fight an even stronger opponent. Besides, the technique details there was also a caution saying not to use that technique while the user is wounded!
Since both of the techniques seemed remarkable at his level, Aran learned both of them by transferring them to his mind. After that, he told the servants not to disturb him and started his training.
He named the first technique the 'Initial true base technique' Because it reminded him of his first encounter against the beast. The techniques seemed a little difficult at his stage but he wanted to master them as soon as possible so that he can move to the next level.

Aran continued his training without taking any rest. While he was busy with his training, a lot of things happened in the Carwel.
The nation announce the "Medal Of Honour" for the war heroes, but Aran refused to take the medal. He said that he wasn't much of a help in the war; so he doesn't deserve it. But in reality, he didn't want to stop training and visit the capital to accept his medal.
Although he refused to take the medal; Captain Xion gave that medal to his brother who was in the capital, on Aran's behalf.
Unlike everyone else captain Xion acknowledged aran as a soldier because he knew that Aran deserves the medal more than anyone else. He knew, aran was brave, and he not only accepted to be the bait without any questions, he always behaved with discipline in the war.

Aran spent every day training without taking any days off. After training for almost a month, He ultimately mastered both techniques.
After mastering them, he decided to take some rest and in the meantime, he continued to read the book so that he can know about all the techniques that were in the book.
After a week Gallion visited Aran and told him that everything has prepared. Aran again called the servant and told him to give Gallion the remaining spirit stones and told Gallion to collect them and wait for him.
After telling Gallion to wait, Aran got ready and went to meet his mother. He told his mother that he will be gone for some weeks for his breakthrough, and left the mansion with Gallion and went to the place where everything was set.
***
It was at the centre of a forest outside of the Caluric town. There was a small house in that place that belonged to someone Gallion knew and aran had to stay there for the breakthrough.
Since it was in the middle of the forest and usually no one goes there it was the perfect place.
After reaching there, Gallion showed aran everything that was stored there and Aran confirmed that everything is in place.
After taking the spirit stones from Gallion, he told him to leave.
When Gallion left the place, before Aran could start his process, he wanted to prepare something else. He summoned the book and looked for the cultivation seal which he had already chosen. Since he wanted to keep things secret, he had already decided this.
Although Aran could have awakened all the elements, he knew, it will slow down his cultivation speed. So he had planned to awaken only wind and lighting as his attribute.
Since he was going to awaken both heavenly and demonic cultivation methods, he needed to hide the demonic cultivation. So he decided to seal his demonic cultivation with one of the elements so that he can limit an element with only one type of his cultivation and get stronger in that element.
The seal had twelve levels and it was one of the strongest seals in the world. It was nearly impossible to break for even higher realm cultivators. But still, Aran wanted to make some changes to that seal.
Aran asked the books if it was possible to make some modifications. Soon some writings appeared saying
"It's possible. "
and Aran explained all the changes he wanted to make. Another writing appeared saying that
" It will take some time to make these changes."
Aran accepted it and continued with the breakthrough procedure.
