The way of space
"I will leave now, get some rest," Meng Yan said.
"Father, during my resting period. I don't want to be disturbed" Meng Xiao said.
"Okay Xiao'er," Meng Yan said as he left the room.
As soon as he left the room, Meng Xiao got up and quickly locked her room.
"I need to strengthen my mental energy," Meng Xiao said as she sat cross-legged and gently tapped her spatial necklace and a bright golden light came out.
As the light faded, a black box appeared in Meng Xiao's hands.
"Zeus, can you help me secure my room? I am going into a deep cultivation state and I don't want anyone to see what I am doing" Meng Xiao said.
"Okay," Zeus Voice said and a grand formation came out. The formation is a stealth concealing formation at the level of master of the sea and king of the land.
"You can start now, no one can see or hear anything you are doing," Zeus said.
Looking at the grand and complex formation, Meng Xiao smiled with satisfaction.
"As she opens the box, the intoxicating scent of fresh flowers fills the room.
*Whoosh* A bright red light came out of the box heading to the door.
"What?" Many Xiao said as stood up.
The flower has developed consciousness and knows it is about to be consumed, as it tries to escape, a large net comes out of the formation and traps the flower.
The flower transforms to its original form changing to a large flower with fresh red petals and a stalk that is almost as big as Meng Xiao's head.
It struggled to escape frantically but the net only grew tighter. It wraps around the flower with no intention of letting go.
"Thank goodness I told Zeus to set up a formation or else the flower would have run away," Meng Xiao thought inwardly.
Soon the net shrinks the flower to the length of an arm and the flower calmed down.
Meng Xiao gently touched the petal while drowning the mesmerizing scent of the flower.
"You are mine," Meng Xiao said as she grabbed the flower and started refining it.
She sat cross-legged with her hands holding firmly to the flower.
A strand of qi came out of her hands connecting to the flower.
The flower struggles to escape but to no avail. Soon its bright colour begins to fade and it turns into a streak of light.
The light flowed into her sacred mark passing through her meridian and moving directly towards her heart.
"To become a spiritual power you need to cultivate your soul and the passage is through your heart. You need to break the shackles in your heart to become a spiritual power cultivator. There are 50 shackles in total, and all of them need to be linked together to create your spiritual power meridian" Zeus' voice said teaching Meng Xiao what to do.
"Okay," Meng Xiao said as she absorbed the flower's red light that brimmed with energy and directed it into her meridian moving it toward her heart.
During the process, Meng Xiao felt refreshed by the flower's gentle nature.
*Crack* A noise was heard followed by a loud boom.
"You just cracked the first shackle, 49 more to go," Zeus said.
I can still feel the potency of the flower's power, continue!" Many Xiao said as she continued.
*Crack*
*Crack*
The noise continues till the sky turns dark. After a session of intense cultivation, Meng Xiao cracked 28 shackles.
She took a deep breath and stood up stretching her limbs.
Staying in the same position for half a day has made her bones stiff.
"I can feel my mental energy improve, I can quickly remember things"
"Let's try it now," Meng Xiao said as she walked to the shelf and took out the book about herbs and how to make pills and potions.
With just a casual glimpse, Meng Xiao could remember half of the first page.
"Yes!" she said in excitement.
"Let's try it on the book of space," Meng Xiao said as she closed her eyes and the imaging book appeared before her.
Looking at the first page, the complex runes and spell signs gave Meng Xiao a headache.
She forcefully removes her gaze from it while breathing heavily.
"You still have a long way to go. Mastering any of the seven great laws is as hard as finding a pin in a vast ocean" Zeus said.
"I will successfully cultivate the spatial technique after training my spiritual powers," Meng Xiao said with a determined gaze.
She tapped her spatial necklace and a bottle of pills containing blood pills came out. Meng Xiao took one blood pill before she continued cultivating.
*Crack*
*Crack*
The noise continues again but this time it gets slower and harder to crack.
The more she cracks the shackles, the more hard and complex it gets.
Now she has cracked 45 shackles remaining 5 more and it is already morning.
Meng Xiao lay on the bed exhausted. No matter how hard she tries, the remaining shackles do not show any sign of breaking.
Laying on the bed drenched in sweat, Meng Xiao took a deep breath.
"Zeus, why isn't it breaking, I have tried for almost an hour and it remains the same. I can feel the powers I got from the flower fading. If I don't break the shackles now I will need another spiritual power cultivation resource" Meng Xiao said looking at the ceiling.
