Chương 69: Mental Energy & Plans

Lin Dong's POV:

My name is Lin Dong, son of Lin Xiao and a member of the Lin family. My father was humiliated by Lin Langtian. Due to severe internal injuries, my father was powerless to exert his true strength and was humiliated by my family members. Even his position in the family was removed, and we became a laughing stock in the family. I am trying my hard to gain some position in the annual family meet so that my family might raise from the humiliation. By luck, I was able to obtain an artifact that allowed me to raise my strength from the 2nd to 3rd tempered body.

When I was practicing penetrating fist, my father came to provide me some pointers. Suddenly he became serious and looked at a direction where four people were walking towards us. The boy was slightly above my age, along with three girls. He then introduced himself along with the girls. It seems they are from continent beyond the Xuan nations, and they are far stronger than grandfather. My father then introduced himself along with our families, and we shared our lunch with them. When he asked about our family and father's internal injury, I explained everything.

The boy, Long Tian said, that he was able to heal my father. As he said, he healed my father of his internal injuries and brought back his cultivation realm. In this world, where strength prevails, and weak are bullied, these people selflessly healed my father due to the hospitality we showed. I swore to them that I would help them in whatever way they required.

Long Tian's Pov:

I looked at him and said, "You have very high potential to become a pinnacle practioner in this world. But your path is of thorns and stones. You need to be steadfast and must always move forwards. Select your friends wisely, as they will be your kin through the end. Become the top, then we will speak about your debt to us. Yuan Dan is not the final, but it is a starting part of the true cultivation. Grow strong, we will meet you somewhere. Always remember, Beyond the despair, is hope. You are matured. Hence I don't need to explain more.".

His face was solemn, but he had a fire in his eyes. We then stayed in that house for a few hours and shared some of our experiences with Lin Xiao. I hope that will help him reach the Yuan Dao realm sooner. We then left the house, and roam through the Qingyang town. We came across many stores and tasted many delicacies. The young master of Lie tried to hit on the girls, but one blast of conqueror made him unconscious.

We then went to some public libraries to refer the mental energy, which is one of the respected position in this world. We couldn't find the relevant books since this is a small town. We then went to the Yan province, where we found some books on Mental energy written by Grandmaster Yan. It seems similar to that of telekinesis. It stimulates a certain frequency of the brain to emit mental energy that will be able to control the equipment.

It helps us to build a natal palace to improve mental energy. The hierarchy of this cultivation is as follows: Symbol master, Heaven symbol Master, Divine Symbol master, Symbol Grandmaster and finally Divine Palace Master. I plan to study the Devouring symbol and recreate my own symbols and ascend to the Divine Palace master level, in mental energy. To study the symbol, I need to go to two places. One in Desolate sect, where the remnant intent of the Devouring symbol master present and to the symbol itself, which is in the location of great Desolate province.

I then started to build my natal palace to occupy all 8 symbols. Since I already constructed my mind palace, it was easy to renovate and strengthen it. All I need is to move to the desolate sect and meet the ancestor and speak with him. If possible, I can recruit him. I can't recruit Lin Dong since he has own destiny and his adventure. So I can recruit the ancestor and help him rise the ranks. I also plan to accompany Lin Dong at certain events. I also plan to provide my girls and metis, some ancestral symbols, according to their powers and domains.

We started to prepare for creating our own natal palace. Metis asked me, "What is the use of this energy? It will be cool, controlling the weapons and attacks invisibly. Other than that?". I then started to explain about Ancestral symbols and their uses. After our discussion, we went to samsara painting and started to practice our Mental energy attacks and defenses.

In the meantime, Lin family in Qingyang town was preparing for the annual tournament. Then a surprise and shock came that Lin Xiao was healed and was back to his old strength. Lin Zhentian was ecstatic that his favorite son was cured and striving forward. Lin Dong was now determined to prove his worth and wash his humiliation from the fellow family. He was able to improve his cultivation at a faster rate since he was able to get resources from the family. He was now driven by the words I provided and trying to prove his strength and his conviction to return the favor.
