Their minds were calm and focused, completely concentrating on the task at hand. If someone tried to speak with them, their presence wouldn't even be registered. During this intense focus clouds started to swirl forming a cylindrical opening as they turned black, lightning crashed through the open, winds howled threatening to uproot trees that disgued the fortress, the air froze creating a layer of ice above the fortress just to be vaporized by the lightning strikes. While an apparent cataclysm was going on Soren, whose hair didn't even rustle was having an enlightening chat in an empty white room. A person begins to approach him but their whole appearance is blurry, he can't tell if it's a man or woman, if they have hair, or if they're wearing clothes. "Oh ho," they say in an androgynous voice, "there is finally someone capable of cultivating my technique, how marvelous."

"Who are you? Where am I, " Soren responded while trying to find answers since his inspect skill came up with nothing.

"I am the creator of the Divine Ying-Yang Warfare method you're currently practicing. This is the subspace you created in your mind to help you absorb and process energy."

"If I created this space why are you here?"

"I am here to help you. It's clear you never cultivated before, so I wanted to impart how this method works. Knowing will help your growth and increase your capabilities. "

"I am all ears." Soren sat on the ground.

"Ying and Yang are not only balancing forces but competing. Good and bad, light and dark, not only do these forces sit on opposite ends but try as they might they attempt to envelope and overtake each other. Think of two rivals that are fighters, when one wins the other grows stronger to try to redeem itself. Thats how this works, force the conflicting energies within your body against each other to strengthen each of them simultaneously. "

"What happens if one completely overtakes the other?"

As the figure starts to fade he leaves Soren with one last bit of knowledge, "that's the genius of it, it's impossible for good cannot live without evil and the darkness cannot exist without the light..."

After the figure dissipated, Soren tried exactly that. He tried to get the dark energy to snuff out the light since he could feel the dark energy was stronger, but no matter how much he tried there was always a tiny bit of brightness within that dark ball of energy. As he fought for the dark energy to overtake the light, it became harder and the bright energy drew stronger and bigger. Once they were of equal size in order to feel his strength grow he had to continually switch sides to have the energy take turns fighting for dominance.

Outside his space the four of them were sitting under the cataclysmic weather black oozing out of their pores coating the ground each one were now getting system notifications

They remained in this position for a number of days, pain illustrated on their faces. Avrow did not seem to be suffering as badly since he had already hit a certain cultivation level, but the others were new to the training. Muscles could be heard snapping, bones were remade to be stronger, harder, and denser. More of the black substance poured out of them as this continued.

Avrow opened his eyes and stood up, he had been there for three days and would continue watching over the other three for the next four days before they each opened their eyes and noticed their changes. An influx of energy erupted from the trio after opening their eyes, blasting the sky with bright light dispersing the clouds that had gathered there during that time. Soren stood up flexing his hand. He could feel how powerful he now felt, he could also tell that any imperfections his body held had now disappeared. He focused on his status and was shocked to see what had changed.

Skadi got several abilities as well, one was the [Divine Beauty] ability, this increased the size of her breasts slightly and made them permanently perky, it also enhanced all her features making her much more stunning.

Tempest had her beauty increased as well, not like that of a flower but a blade. She was made to look more ferocious in her base form, her modest breast size increases to a D cup. She was inwardly happy they grew but not too big. Her muscles toned and her senses heightened further. The biggest change was the toughness and density of her bones, right now they were as hard as metal, but at the peak of her cultivation she could rival adamantine. The ability name for it was [Treasured Body].

There stats all had seen an immense increase as well as obtaining something new. Now that they were finished there were three things left to do. He walked over to the harpy egg and used [Tame]. It failed, he tried two additional times and it finally succeeded on the last try causing his skill to upgrade to C rank. He then walked over to Skadi and Tempest, taking them each by the hand and leading them upstairs to accomplish the last two things he had to do. Their moans echoed throughout the fortress, "Well that will take some getting used to," Avrow said dejectedly.
