Aran knew that the awakening technique he was going to perform is not only the most painful technique in the entire book, but it also had a problem of erasing the conscious memories of the user. But he had thought of a plan to counter that.
After learning the awakening technique from the book, Aran selected a perfect spot, close to the house to perform the procedure.
At first, he used the demonic mana which was stored in the Mana storage ring which he got from the Gallion and used it to draw the basic foundation of the awakening technique on that floor.
It was extremely difficult for aran to use the demonic mana because he not only had to precisely draw the foundation but he also had to make sure the demonic mana doesn't get mixed with the heavenly in his body since it will react with it. So it took Aran many hours, to just draw the foundation and mana letters.
The foundation had a three-pointed star in the middle and a circle that completely covers the star creating three empty slots between the star and the circle.
There were two triangles out of the circle, and both triangles were opposite to each other and connected with the circle.
There was another big circle covering all the illustrations and all the remaining space between the two circles was filled with different small demonic drawings.
After completing the basic foundation, aran drew all the seven hundred and sixty-three Mana letters in the array and used the same amount of Spirit stones to activate the letters.
After finishing the formation, he put the two high-ranked elemental artifacts inside the space between the star and the circle and filled the space that was left with the spirit stones. And he put the two fresh dead bodies of both types of cultivators inside two triangles.
After that Aran got naked and went to the centre of the formation and looked around with his divine vision one last time and made sure that everything is in its reserved place.
To counter the memory loss he summoned the book and transferred all of his conscious memories into the book and finally activated the array by touching it.
***
As Aran activated the Array, the drawings began to shine and the Mana letters he had drawn became more visible. As the energy started to flow inside the array, the pressure started to increase and everything inside the array started to break.
At first, Aran's skin broke into thousands of pieces, and then it continued to break his muscles and bones. Although it was the most painful thing he had ever experienced and his whole body was ripping apart, Aran thought about all the things he had to endure in his life and tolerated the pain until he lost consciousness.
The energy inside the Array continued to break every part of his body into thousands of pieces and every bit started to float inside the array.
As Aran's body was breaking, the two dead bodies and the artifacts also broke into bits and the remaining life force from the dead bodies and the artifacts started to spin around Aran.
The process continued until everything that was inside the array turned into bits and only the soul of Aran remained.
Although aran should have died After losing his body, the array formation was keeping his soul stable and it was preventing him from dying.
When all the infringement was completed, the array summoned the Mana from both of the higher realms and began the reassembling.
Aran's soul started to absorb the life force of other cultivators and the artifacts.
After absorption of the life force, the array started to reassemble his body according to the shape of his soul. It started with reassembling the bones and organs and then it continued to reassemble the muscles.
When most of his body was reassembled, all the bits of the dead bodies started to assemble around his body creating an artificial womb and soon the metals that were used in the artifacts turned into a thin shield around the womb.
To complete the awakening aran had to be in a deep slumber inside that womb for days. While he was inside the womb, his body was re-arranging the mana points according to both types of cultivation and strengthening his connection with the higher realm.
On the third day, the wind energy of the elemental realm of wind struck the womb while aran was unconscious and Aran broke through to the intermediate stage and awakened the wind attribute.
Soon after that, on the ninth day, when the Lightning energy from the Lightning elemental realm struck Aran, he not only awakened the Lightning attribute but the Lightning strike also broke the shield around the womb.
On the thirteenth day, Aran got out of the womb, splitting it!
His body was filled with blood and waste. Aran had lost most of his memory except for the subconscious memories. But before he could start to wonder what was happening, his soul-binding got activated and the book transferred all of his memories back to his mind.
Aran remembered everything that happened and why he was there. He was pleased to know that everything went according to his plan. He got up and walked into the house and got cleaned up. After wearing some clothes, he sat down and tried to summon the mana.
At first, he summoned the heavenly mana and after that, he successfully summoned the demonic mana. It made him sure that the awakening technique was successful. After that, he went outside and used a flare device to send the signal to Gallion.
***
Before Aran could get ready and return to his home, he had to seal his cultivation Since it was illegal to have demonic cultivation in the heavenly continent.
Since the Lightning attribute was extremely rare and his brother Fenris was the only person in his entire family, who had awakened the Lightning attribute, as someone next to his brother, aran didn't want to get the attention of his family and he had planned to keep it a secret.
Aran soon summoned the book and learned the modified cultivation sealing technique. After that, he created the formation with the demonic mana and used the rest of the spirit stones to activate the mana letters, and permanently sealed his Lightning attribute with the demonic mana.
That way he easily hid his demonic cultivation and Lightning attribute without slowing down his entire cultivation.
After the sealing, his Lightning attribute and the demonic cultivation became completely hidden. The seal was so powerful that even he couldn't see through it without his divine vision. While the seal is present he can only use the wind attribute and heavenly cultivation.
After his awakening, Aran had two cultivation cores for two different cultivations. His heavenly cultivation was at the third tier of the intermediate stage and the demonic cultivation was at the third tier of the beginning stage.
Although Aran had restricted himself from using demonic mana and the Lightning attribute, he had modified the seal in a way, where he can still cultivate his demonic cultivation without even unsealing it.
To use his demonic cultivation and Lightning attribute, Aran had to use the temporary unsealing to unseal some levels of the seal.
After completing the sealing, Aran went on to take some rest.

Gallion arrived at that place the next day morning.
Looking at Aran he was shocked! because Aran had not only looked different but had also broken through. Aran was leaner and more muscular than before. Gallion had never believed that it will succeed. He always thought that it will just end up being another failure, but he was surprised to see that it had finally happened.
When gallion reached there, Aran was already prepared to depart and as he saw Gallion, he told him to destroy all the evidence of him being there and left that place.
***
When aran returned home, everyone in the mansion was shocked to see him. They had never thought that it was even possible for Aran to break through. Immediately a servant ran to his mother and told her the news.
When Ellania heard that her son has returned and he has broken through, she couldn't believe it. She rushed toward her son and as she came close to him, she saw through his cultivation.
Ellania was happy to know that it had finally happened. She was so shocked, that she didn't have any words to say. She told aran to have lunch and take some rest and left after saying that, she will inform the family about his breakthrough.
Aran went to the dining hall and after having a great meal he went back to his room and started to think about what to do next.
When Aran was little, he wanted to go to the Phoenix magical academy where his brother studied. Although Aran didn't want to waste his time by going to an Academy to learn, he had no other choice because there weren't many heavenly martial techniques in the demon's book.
Aran knew that the Pheonix magical academy has the biggest library in Carwel and that it has more than a million martial techniques books there. So it was the best place for him to progress.
Since the next entrance exam for the Pheonix academy was in less than two months, Aran decided to train until then and go to the magical academy so that he can get his hands on all the high-ranked heavenly martial techniques. After thinking about it for a while he finally went to sleep.
