Mind Realm

As Nyx lounged on his bed, he turned to Sara with a curious look. "Hey Sara, how do people here cultivate their power?"

Sara smiled and began to explain. "In this world, people use Origin Energy for cultivation. It helps enhance both physical and magical abilities."

She went on to describe the stages of cultivation:

 Foundation Stage

 Energy Condensation

 Elemental Integration

 Essence Formation

 Core Fusion

 Spirit Ascension

 Void Integration

 Celestial Convergence

 Eternal Sovereignty

Each stage has Early, Middle, Late, and Peak phases.

"Hey Sara," Nyx asked, "you said my aura could destroy the world. Does that mean I've reached the last stage?"

Sara shook her head. "Nyx, you're at the late stage of Eternal Sovereignty. But you haven't properly cultivated your energy. That's why you need to learn to control it first. I gave you the cultivation technique to help with that. If you don't master it, your body could be damaged, especially since your seal is weakening."

Nyx frowned, frustrated. "Why didn't you tell me this sooner? Are you trying to get me killed?"

Sara replied calmly, "You never asked, Nyx. I can only answer the questions you ask."

Nyx scowled. "And what about the seal? Who put it there? The previous owner's memories don't mention anything about it, and his childhood memories are vague. How could he have been sealed?"

Sara's response was cryptic and amused. "Ah, that's a mystery. But where's the fun in giving you all the answers? Sometimes, the thrill is in the journey of discovery."

Nyx sighed and began to absorb information about the Infernal Void Cultivation Technique Sara provided. This technique aimed to merge the dark infernal power of the Bloodline of Neph'raziel with the void essence of the Void Devourer, granting the practitioner mastery over destruction.

The stages of the technique were:

1. Ember of the Abyss: Harness basic infernal flames and void energy.

2. Infernal Conflagration: Control larger, more destructive flames by merging void energy with infernal flames.

3. Void Embers: Strengthen the connection to the void, enhancing physical abilities and infusing flames with void energy.

4. Abyssal Inferno: Gain full control over abyssal flames and summon infernal storms.

5. Eclipse Flame: Achieve perfect harmony between infernal and void energies.

Nyx studied the stages with a mix of awe and determination. Each stage represented new power and mastery over darkness and destruction. He could feel the anticipation building within him.

"Can I cultivate all four stages in one day?" Nyx asked. 

Sara shook her head. "No, Nyx. Even with your talent, it normally takes 10 year. With the current World's highest talent, it takes a hundred years. With normal talent, it's impossible."

Nyx frowned, feeling impatient and urgent because of his weakening seal. Sara continued, "But I have a method. It can only be possible if you open your mind realm."

Nyx's eyes widened with intrigue. Sara assured him that with his talent, he could unlock his mind realm. 

With Sara's guidance, Nyx sat cross-legged in his room, surrounded by flickering candles. He closed his eyes and focused on his breath, letting the outside world fade away.

As he meditated, Nyx felt a sense of weightlessness. Colors and shapes formed behind his closed eyelids, swirling and shifting. He allowed himself to be drawn deeper into this inner realm.

In his mind realm, Nyx encountered a shadowy figure lurking in the darkest corners. The figure took the form of his inner demon, reflecting his deepest fears and regrets. It looked like his mother and father from his previous life, their eyes filled with sorrow and reproach.

As Nyx faced his inner demons, he was overwhelmed by panic and despair. The specters of his past, taking the form of his previous life's parents, accused him of his failures and filled him with guilt. He felt trapped in a cycle of self-recrimination, unable to escape the weight of his past mistakes.

Suddenly, a memory pierced through the darkness. It was the voice of his current life's mother, filled with love and care. He remembered her comforting words and the warmth of her embrace. She had always believed in him, encouraging him to be strong and reminding him that he was loved.

This memory became a beacon of light in the shadowy depths of his mind. Nyx clung to it, letting the warmth of his mother's love wash over him. He felt a surge of strength and determination. His mother's words gave him the courage to face his inner demons head-on.

With newfound resolve, Nyx steadied himself. He looked at the shadowy figures of his past, no longer with fear or guilt, but with compassion and acceptance. He understood that he could not change the past, but he could learn from it and move forward.

The shadowy figures began to waver, their power over him diminishing. As Nyx's resolve grew, the darkness started to recede, replaced by a soft, illuminating light. He felt the presence of his current life's mother, her love surrounding him and giving him the strength to confront and dispel his inner demons.

Nyx stood tall, his gaze unwavering. The shadows of his past dissipated, and in their place, he found peace and clarity.

With his inner demons vanquished, Nyx felt a gentle presence, a warm embrace. The shadows of his past dissipated, replaced by a soft glow. Emerging from the light, he saw the faint outlines of his previous life's parents, their forms radiant with love.

Tears welled up in Nyx's eyes. His mother spoke tenderly, "Son, we were always there for you, even in your darkest moments."

His father nodded, "Live on, my son. You are loved, and we will always be watching over you."

Nyx reached out to them, his heart overflowing with gratitude and love. In that moment, he felt closure and acceptance.

As the apparitions faded, Nyx felt peace and clarity. He envisioned himself standing before a grand palace in his mind realm, a place of infinite possibility. With a steady hand, Nyx pushed open the palace doors and stepped inside.

His mind realm was a vast expanse of swirling darkness with shimmering points of light. It crackled with otherworldly energy. Nyx discovered hidden chambers and corridors, each representing different aspects of his consciousness.

In the center stood a towering structure, the seat of his power, where his thoughts and emotions converged. The mind realm was a reflection of his innermost self, a mirror of his fears, desires, and aspirations.
