According to that book, the energy of nature is called “Force of Heaven and Earth” and people and Fiend beasts with the talent can absorb and store the ‘Flux ‘ in order to empower their bodies, prolong their lives and use Flux techniques. The “Flux” can be used as a mean to empower the body and the martial techniques or can be linked to someone’s own Mental energy to release Force attacks. The 7 Force types are light, darkness, fire, water, earth, wind and thunder and someone’s aptitude to one of these is decided at birth. Generally, everyone has the aptitude toward one Force yet the difference in mental energy decrees his ability to manipulate that element’𝓞𝒱𝐞𝓛xt.𝗇𝓔t

David was currently having a lesson in the classroom about philosophy but his mind was constantly wandering on the topics described in the old book.

‘Fiend beasts have an innate ability to manipulate and absorb the “Flux” and they will learn to use it naturally in the course of their life, it can be said that their bloodline is quite advantageous according to this aspect. Yet, Heaven and Earth are fair so most of them lack the intellect to better use their gifts.’

‘Humans, on the other hand, can make a lance out of rocks and bow and arrows out of a tree but they need techniques in order to absorb and use the “Flux” and even special devices to understand their aptitude toward a specific force’

Human cultivation can be divided into 3 centers of power: dantian, body, and sea of consciousness that are deeply connected to each other.

The dantian is located at one’s lower abdomen and it’s usually formed automatically by the age of 13. It is the place where we accumulate the “Flux energy” and, once accumulated, it will nourish the body and the mind as a result.

The body is the shell of a cultivator, it can be nourished by flooding it with “Flux energy” and the stronger it is, the more stable your dantian and mind will be.

David had already started nurturing his even without knowing it.

Also, the sea of consciousness is at the center of one’s brain and it’s the place where mental energy is generated and accumulated. Enlarging the sea of consciousness will not only give more space to store mental energy in but will raise its production, and it will also sharpen your senses and fasten your thoughts. It is said that at some level you can even start predicting imminent dangers

David was found it quite surprising. While the powers was different from thar planet, it was still a bit similar. Its was just that here, they didn’t need to experiment on themselves to gain this power, they only needed to practice a few breathing techniques and awaken their Force which might be blood, light etc.

It was very easy here to gain power, but back on that world, it was very difficult as there was even more than 50 percent chance of dying from the Xeno-transplant. This made David quite upset.

But even if you know the general theory behind those powers in this world you can’t do much without the proper techniques. The best the book can do is give a better understanding of the supernatural to normal people.’

‘Heaven and Earth are fair it says, yet if you aren’t born from a rich family you can just dream about obtaining techniques. Even for me, I’m not sure Mrs Hills would want to spend that much on me.’

‘And with the way things are going, it’s hard to say if I’ll ever be able to take a look at these techniques…’

‘My only hope is Presha.’ Suddenly, the memories of what happened yesterday resurfaces and he laughed coldly.

According to the book, the training method of mental energy is pretty simple, they just needed to memorize a rune. One will know that he or she have memorized it once the rune appears inside the sea of consciousness like it did on the parchment learnt from. And looking at it will cause no more depletion of mental energy. Once this is done, one can be considered a star rank mage and will be able to learn the first spells after confirming your Force Elemental aptitude. The ranks of Star mages go from 1 to 9 based on the number of runes in their sea of consciousness and they have an auxiliary title based on their rank. For rank 1,2 and 3 it’s apprentice mage; for rank 4,5 and 6 is intermediate mage; for the rest of them is high star mage. Basically, every wealthy family has a set of the first three runes.

Thinking about this, it would be very difficult to gain access to such valuable rune patchment. David furrowed his brows as he thought. “I’ve cultivated my mental energy back in that world, I wonder if it would be the same and if it is the same poeer frequency, what rank mage am i now?”

Closing his eyes, David went to his sea of consciousness just like the book had said. Immediately, he felt like his head was going to split open. He frowned, enduring the pain he focused on the origin of the pain.

He then felt as though he had been pulled to another world. The feeling of being on the ground disappeared and there was no smell, only the constant noise of sea waves was present. He opened his eyes and looked around him. He was sitting cross-legged in the air, his figure half transparent. Above him there was darkness, separated from him by a spherical barrier, beneath him there was an almost dried up lake with a few drops of azure liquid, with slight waves on its surface.

After some seconds of pure amazement, he found himself back in the classroom with the teacher frowning at him.

“So you have any questions?” The teacher adjusted his eye glasses and asked.

David shook his head and immediately left after realising he was the only one within the class room.

As he walked towards his next class, he glanced at his weak body.

Right now, his body was of the star rank, but at beast, rank 3. But since his body is still growing and he had several techniques to boost up his physique without the use of dantian, it would be quite okay.

But without the need of a dantian the results will be lesser if compared with the benefits provided by the techniques of the same rank which instead need a dantian.
