The goddess Reiya smiles and says to Shenzi, "It has been a while since I've been asked to train someone. It just so happens to be that you're in luck. On the journey of cultivating, How many can say they have their own true Dao Path or their own Intent. You're lucky, as a human dragged into this. Your foundation is unbuilt and untainted. You've miraculously created your own Intent. However, you are in the process of moulding and being refined. From today I will bestow you Beginner Sword Manuals. Beginner Soul Refinement Manuals, Beginner Body Establishment Manuals.
Shenzi takes all this in with excitement. Shenzi kneels down to the floor, getting on all fours. Kowtowing to Reiya, Shenzi says "I thank you for your bestowments. With or without guidance. I will walk the path of an emperor. I will not build a kingdom, join a sect. This world and the earth is my playground. All who stand in my way will be cut down!"
Reiya waves for Shenzi to get off the ground and go to her. As Shenzi comes face to face with Reiya, Reiya's index, and middle finger light up. Jutting out her fingers Shenzis forehead. The beginner manuals are sent into Shenzis Spiritual sea.
"Host has received teachings. Upon scanning through all the material. A set of Foundation, Sword Dao, Spirit Refinement, unrelated to the Beginner Manuals. Would host like for me to integrate the contents into 1 set of manuals for each subject?"
Shenzi confirms in his mind. "Host has given confirmation, beginning integration. It will take approximately 48 hours for all content to be successfully integrated with all filler removed."
Reiya speaks out waking Shenzi from his stupor, "During your awakening, your Spirit Force has awoken the Flame element. I will guide you to learn how to control your Spirit Force During this training you will use your self-created Intent to form small swords. All the leaves surrounding this compound will be brought to you.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
What you're to do is control the flame swords with perfection, write your name on each leaf. We will begin with two swords and six leaves. You'll have three seconds to write your name on each leaf before they descend. If your control is right, they will remain the same, and if your control is subpar, you'll burn them to ash."
This may sound stupid. However, imagine in your scenario. Waking up from a coma for one year. Only to realize you have forgotten how to walk. As simple as it is, it has now become a challenge to retrain yourself. In Shenzi's case, he went from being an ordinary human to now walking the path of cultivation.
Shenzi smiles and says to Reiya, "Challenge accepted I do not believe I will fail your expectations" Reiya smiles knowingly "Don't get cocky greenhorn. The real challenges have yet to begin."
Reiya now talks Shenzi through how to materialize his Intent "First gather your Spirit Force then picture the image of a two-meter sword. As the image comes clear in your mind, use your Spirit Force to outline in your mind. Once the outline has become clear, arouse your Spirit Intent to begin morphing into the sword image you have created."
This sounds a lot easier said than done. However, put it this way. You have woken up after a two-year coma. To find you now have the ability of Telekinesis First you have to "feel" your telekinesis and begin to use your mind as the base and your thoughts as the spark to life smaller objects. Through endless effort and hard work. Your ability of Telekinesis slowly improves like a blacksmith making a sword. Through continuously hammering your Telekinesis it becomes more refined, easier to conduct, and much stronger.
After explaining to Shenzi to form compress his Spirit Force, Reiya begins a physical examination. Reiya's Spirit Force spreads out into the room. Raising her hand Reiya materializes her Spirit force and slowly begins to compress it moving in high speeds in separate directions. With her "outlined sword image" a sword starts to emerge in thin air and floats around Reiya.
"The first step to gaining control over your compressed Spirit Force write out the alphabet in capitals and lower case letters a to z. As you feel your control increasing, then begin simple exercises of rotating your Spirit Intent in 180-degree angles come to a sudden stop and rotate to the other way."
