Chapter  236  Chapter 235-Too Many Paths Of The Mind.

'This is just the beginning.'

Azrail, thought reading through the gifts that he is receiving, the subtle connections getting stronger isn't just giving him these gifts, it's also making Azrail's whole body the best to wield a sword, giving his whole self a level of talent in the sword that is unseen and had only been seen in the past Centuriarch species.

The new physique slowly went forth to combine with Azrail's original physique of flexibility and like always a certain evolution is always happening within Azrail's body, a new species of himself is slowly being created, and Azrail could tell it, the first evolution that he will have will set it all in motion, to build a base towards his species that has never been seen before.

'There's a lot of powers that I have to adjust to.'

Azrail's strength keeps getting stronger without him doing anything much due to the changes that keep happening in his body, his skills too following the same evolutionary path, as shown before, his skills are slowly developing different things, and thanks to that he is now able to fully talk along with any members that have his connection on them, it being very useful.

'Not to mention the special connection I have with Yurou.'

The special bond he formed with her gives a certain touch of the phoenix to him, the lover's connection that many dreams of giving her certain other benefits too, of course, this also affects Yurou who seems to be enjoying some perks of the Asura's flowing to her. But right now what Azrail has to focus on is polishing his powers.

He needs to get better control and idea of his own powers such that he will be able to utilize 100% of his strength without any issues and that's not an easy thing to do when you have many different things about you. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

'I need to start from the base, keep the basics in mind as I grow forth.'

A small smile filled Azrail's face as he thought of his teacher's words, the old man might have been slightly crazy but there's no denying that he was a monster of a man and a teacher, thus Azrail closed his eyes, slowly his breath getting lighter and lighter, while the Qi around him started to feel a certain warmness and coldness to them.

As he did so, two pairs of eyes popped up from Azrail's shadow, one with full vigilance locked around the room, if Raven even detected a hint of a problem she would hesitate to jump and deal with it, while Ravenna, its daze-filled eyes still learning just gazed out into the world, though the innate love and loyalty that Raven holds still flows within Ravenna.

The coldness of death and the life of heat started to twist and turn around within Azrail, his mind flowing through the cultivation path of the mental realm cultivator.

There are several different paths of mental realm cultivation one such path is Mindscapers. The Mental Realm cultivators who walk a certain perilous path are known as Mindscapers. Their power lies not in brute force, but in the intricate architecture they forge within their own minds – a Mindscape. Unlike traditional cultivation that focuses on channeling external energies, Mindscapers cultivate their own mental space, transforming it into a labyrinthine realm.

A Mindscaper's potential is directly tied to the innate vastness of their mind when they first awaken their path. This "spark" manifests as a sudden, overwhelming sense of emptiness within the consciousness. The more profound this emptiness, the greater the potential for a sprawling Mindscape.

The cultivation process involves a meticulous construction of mental structures within the Mindscape. These structures are not static, but ever-evolving. Here's how it unfolds:

Initial Paths: The first stage involves etching pathways within the void. These paths represent core memories and thought patterns. As the Mindscaper progresses, they weave these paths into intricate labyrinths.

Chaotic Chambers: Within the labyrinth, Mindscapers create specialized chambers. Meditation chambers enhance focus and mental clarity. Training chambers allow for the honing of mental abilities like memory manipulation and psychic attacks. These chambers can be chaotic and ever-shifting, reflecting the complexities of the mind itself.

Anchors: To maintain stability within the ever-expanding Mindscape, Mindscapers create anchors. These anchors can be anything that holds personal significance – a cherished memory, a physical object visualized within the Mindscape, or even a core philosophical belief. Anchors provide a sense of grounding and prevent the Mindscaper from being lost within the labyrinth's depths.

Mental Fortifications: The dangers of the path are numerous. External mental attacks can breach the Mindscape, and the labyrinth's own chaotic nature can consume the cultivator. To counter these threats, Mindscapers erect mental fortifications. These can be intricate puzzles, guardian constructs formed from willpower, or even illusions that warp the perception of intruders.

There are certain unique Cultivation Techniques that canbe used for this, these ones being which Azrail derived from certain powerful dead souls, the information being very cloaked and dangerous ones.

Dreamscaping: Mindscapers can protect themselves and their constructed environments from the dreams of others, manipulating the dream world to gather information or influence thoughts.

Mental Echoes: By leaving echoes of thoughts and memories within specific chambers, Mindscapers can create false trails or even programmable mental traps for intruders.

Mind Shard Extraction: By venturing into the Mindscapes of others, a highly skilled Mindscaper can extract specific memories or knowledge in the form of shimmering metal shards. This is an incredibly dangerous practice, as it risks permanent mental damage to both the attacker and the victim.

That is one way, there is another way of cultivating the consciousness. This esoteric path of cultivation, known as the Dreamscape Weaver, harnesses the boundless potential of the subconscious mind. Unlike traditional methods, Dreamscape Weavers tap into the dreamscape – a vast, ever-shifting realm where memories, emotions, and imagination coalesce. Their power lies in weaving the fabric of this dreamscape, shaping it into a potent tool for growth and manipulation.

A potential Dreamscape Weaver experiences a unique awakening. During their first deep sleep, their consciousness merges with the dreamscape, not as a passive observer, but as an active participant. The vividness and vastness of this initial dream world determine their innate talent. The more expansive and lucid the dream, the greater the potential for a powerful dreamscape.

Cultivation for a Dreamscape Weaver is a process of meticulously shaping and refining the dreamscape. Here's how it unfolds:

Dream Anchors: The first step involves anchoring their waking consciousness within the dreamscape. This is achieved by focusing on a familiar object or memory during sleep, allowing it to serve as a bridge between the two realms.

Mnemonic Landscapes: Next, the Dreamscape Weaver begins weaving memories and emotions into landscapes. A joyful memory might manifest as a sun-drenched meadow, while a traumatic experience could become a churning storm. By shaping these landscapes, the Weaver refines their emotional control and resilience.

Dream Guardians: To protect their dreamscape from external intrusions, Dreamscape Weavers create dream guardians. These guardians can be fantastical creatures born from the Weaver's subconscious or even projections of their own willpower.

Lucid Interweaving: As their skills grow, Dreamscape Weavers gain the ability to enter the dreamscapes of others. This "lucid interweaving" allows them to plant suggestions, gather information, or even manipulate memories by subtly altering the dreamscape's landscape.

Unique Cultivation Techniques:

Dream-Sharing: By weaving a shared dreamscape, a Dreamscape Weaver can facilitate communication and collaboration with others while in the dream realm.

Precognitive Dreams: By interpreting symbolic elements within their own dreamscape, a skilled Weaver can gain glimpses into the future.

Dreamscaping Alchemy: Highly advanced Weavers can manipulate the raw essence of the dreamscape, transforming nightmares into tools for self-improvement or manifesting dream-born creations into the waking world.
