When she started the massage, he finally realized why Aria let out such a moan last night. The pleasant feeling indeed permeated all over his body. The dead cells in Silvia's mouth slowly made their way out of his body as if thousands of ants were leaving his body. It was weird but pleasant because he felt that his body became light and Spiritual Energy inside his body flowed better than normal.
Alex closed his eyes for a moment and enjoyed the feeling. He had been cultivating in the harsh way where he constantly got pain, so when he received something like this, it felt weird.
"Hmm." Alex groaned before starting to circulate his Spiritual Energy around. The Spiritual Energy in the surroundings then turned Divine Energy, and his body absorbed it so naturally.
She smiled and kept doing it for an hour. Although Alex didn't advance to the next stage, his strength had increased drastically.
After finishing the massage, Silvia smiled and cleaned up while waiting for him to finish.
Aria came out of her room during that time and went to the field when she saw Alex cultivating. Even without him, she knew what to do in her training. And Silvia was watching him anyway, so there shouldn't be any problem.
It took him another five hours before his body finally calmed down, lessening his cultivation speed to the normal level.
Silvia came to his vision as soon as he opened his eyes and asked."How do you feel? Is there any difference?"
"I feel amazing. Not only did my energy flow even more smoothly, but it also channeled even more energy. What was my condition actually?"
"Because you were pushing your limit continuously, your veins clogged up. I am removing them with my massage. Of course, this technique is special because everything comes from my power such as my sensitivity, knowledge, and element. And now, you are free from that. Your body is adjusting to that new state a moment ago and allows you to increase your cultivation by a large amount in a short period of time." She smiled.
"Then, won't it be more effective if I keep doing that before I am five hundred years old? I mean, I can arrive at that state from time to time and ask you for the massage?" Alex asked. In his mind, this type of cultivation would revolutionize the cultivation system. However, when everything sounded too good to be true, it was the time he needed to question it.
"If it's that simple...I can't use it on one's body continuously because it will mess up with your foundation. If you want, I can do it once more, but I will do it when you want it in the future, even if we go separate ways." She smiled.
"Thank you." Alex nodded. Despite how gentle and good she was, he still couldn't trust her one hundred percent. There was not enough time to determine her personality, considering he just met her yesterday.
"You're welcome. That's right. Aria has started her training. Are you going to train as well?"
Alex thought for a moment while checking his body. With the leap he had a moment ago, he might be able to reach Rank 8 God within one year. That was why he decided to shift half of his schedule for training to increase the amount of his Sword Qi. This way, he should be able to reach Rank 8 God within a year, and his Sword Qi might be more than he expected.
After coming to a new conclusion, he looked at Silvia and nodded."I need to get stronger as fast as possible, so I can't afford to waste my time."
"Is that because of the calamity beast?" She asked.
"Eh?!" Alex widened his eyes."How—"
"My father knows that your previous life died under its hand. After gathering enough information, including the one from Navin, he realized that the beast would soon terrorize this universe. He was convinced only after he found a clue about your reincarnation. The only one that fought that beast and sealed it was you, so the one who would solve it was you as well.
"Because of Navin's special ability, which I know nothing about, my father told me to wait for you instead of searching. After all, you will need strength to face the beast. Even if I am not by your side, I will assist you in this matter as a friend. Well, these are a few reasons why I do this."
Alex stared at her eyes for a moment before blinking a few times."Well, I am thankful for your help. Rather than talking about this complicated topic, it's better to proceed to practice first. You should know that your Rank 5 God strength is not enough, right?"
"Indeed." She nodded."You don't mind if I observe your training, right? I would like to know and maybe give some advice to improve the method."
"Sure." Alex then went to the field with Silvia following him.
When Aria noticed their presence, she stopped for a moment and asked."Have you finished your business?"
"Yeah. Sorry for the wait. I will be going to train with you." Alex nodded."Time surely flies. Only one more month before reaching one year mark."
"I agree. I never thought I would be able to reach 3-Star Martial Saint in just a year, especially from 9-Star Martial Monarch."
"It's your talent. I am just helping you." Alex smiled."You have talent."
Aria smiled when she heard Alex's praise. No talent could bloom when the person didn't recognize it. If Alex didn't come, she wouldn't hear and have this kind of progress.
"Thanks." She smiled while watching Alex prepare his body for training.
The two then started their usual training.
Silvia supervised the entire training, especially how they broke their limit and collapsed to the ground. When that time came, she tried to help the recovery process and took a few notes on their condition.
Alex usually used a third to two-thirds of his day to break his limit while the rest was used to cultivate. When Silvia helped them up, Alex asked."So, how is it?"
"That is something new to me. I have never thought that such a thing exists and can be exploited every single day. No wonder you can reach your level at that age. This will revitalize the entire cultivation system. However, you need a doctor like me to make sure you don't have any side effects from the old days. f𝙧𝙚e𝘄𝐞𝚋ｎoѵel - 🅽🅽novel
"The training itself is already pretty good, and I don't have any complaints regarding that. Anyway, I don't see any problem other than how torturous it is. I mean, I doubt many people can do something like that because they need to do it every single day. It's like you are dying and reviving repeatedly every day.
"In a normal person's point of view, it is something hellish. Not many dare to think about something like this, so I guess there is a plus as well regarding this method. That's my honest opinion about your training." She approved Alex's method of training.
"What kind of side effect will we have?" Aria found something troubling and asked.
"It's quite big. If you manage to reach God King, you might not be on par with the other God Kings. Of course, it will be different if you have a powerful technique surpassing normal God Kings. And your wounds are harder to heal as well because your natural recovery has been exhausted to build up your body. There are two others, but I guess this one can be minimized with a medicinal bath to relax your body."
"It is indeed big. There is also a chance that the other God Kings will think twice before attacking this kind of geniuses, but when you corner them, they will realize your true strength and kill you. In other words, it will be the fight in the mind level." Aria nodded.
She never dreamed of being a Rank 1 God, but Silvia said there was a potential to do that if she continued in this path. Even if she were weaker than any God Kings, she would still be the strongest in this world. No one would mess with her family in the future, so she thought nothing of it.
However, she heard Silvia added something interesting.
"The side effect can be erased by my massage. One more time, and I can't really do it anymore unless you want to have a ruined foundation."
"Then..." Aria thought for a moment. If she was able to become a God King, there were two scenarios that she would have regarding Silvia. Firstly, Silvia could leak the information about her not being as strong as normal God Kings so many people could attack her. The second possibility was where she asked Silvia's help to fix the side effect.
With the authority and prestige of a God King, there should be a big chance for the second possibility. What made her wonder was Alex's plan.
Although he didn't find it comfortable, he might need to marry Silvia because of her ability. She already had this knowledge in her head, so she was the one who could create an army of God Kings.
Of course, she didn't know that it required a huge amount of resources. In this house alone, Alex already created a Gathering Array for training purposes and used a huge number of Spirit Crystals.
Due to the location and his intention, Aria could absorb the abundant Spiritual Energy coming from a Rank 9 Gathering Array. If she knew that she could only reach 1-Star Martial Saint without a Gathering Array, she would realize how reliant she was with the Gathering Array.
Alex, on the other hand, tried to come up with a way to mitigate the risk while waiting for Silvia to restore his strength.
"By the way, I would like to ask something." Alex suddenly found a way and wanted to confirm it.
"Sure."
"What if we use a Divine Herb? If I am not wrong, there is a Divine Herb that can make one's body reborn, right?"
"Yeah. Immortal Tree's root. This one is like the process you have to endure during the transformation of your mortal body to a Divine Body, so yeah, you will have a new set of your body. This was the reason why your problem wasn't that big." She nodded."Did you find anything strange in your Divine Tribulation?"
"Nope. There was nothing." Alex shook his head.
"I guess there is no penalty from doing this ridiculous training." She nodded.
"Do you think there is another person that can heal this body beside you?" Alex innocently asked.
She misunderstood this and looked down."Are you not satisfied with me?"
"No, no. I was just curious. If you didn't want to answer, then alright. I was wondering whether a poison expert could do something like this, so no one would be able to sniff something from my body again like you." Alex sighed.
"In that case, I don't think so. Only doctors can understand your current situation, but not many have Light Element, much less my unique one that can carry one's strength to heal someone. In fact, many are trying to grab me because of this. If not because of my father's prestige, I wouldn't know how my future would end up." Silvia sighed.
"You have your own problem, I guess." Aria realized that Silvia must have undergone a harsh childhood because of her ability.
Silvia smiled and replied."Not really. I love my family, and that's the end. Wait. Maybe it was because of my father's obsession over someone that he rejected all those marriage offers."
"..." Alex's expression darkened.
After fully restored, Alex and Aria proceeded to their cultivation. Silvia confirmed that they indeed practiced at a faster rate. Although the effect wasn't that apparent, if you continued doing this for months or even years, you would realize that your cultivation speed increased due to the increase of your limit.
This was really revolutionary, she thought. Silvia couldn't help but smile as if she had a thought about this.
