Cultivation Begins!
1374 Words
Korra sat on her bed. She was preparing to cultivate. She had asked Asta to excuse her, so she was now the only person in the room.
'Speaking of Asta, I will have to give her a cultivation technique. After all, she is my first servant.'
Korra thought with a slight smile. It was obvious she was initiating something evil. There was no way she was going to give out a powerful technique without taking something back in return.
'Hmm... I have already decided on what I'll give her. The soul howling technique. It is one of the most powerful techniques I found during my travels. Of course that is not the reason I am given it to her. With the modifications I made to it, I will have a certain influence over her will. I will be able to control her while she thinks everything she does is of her own decision'
Normally, Korra would not have to take this tedious route in order to assure loyalty. If she had her original cultivation base, she would just insert a bit of her divine will to exert influence on her subordinates thoughts. According to her principles, why should slaves be given any free will?
But now that she was powerless without any cultivation base, she had to do this to ensure that Asta stays loyal to her from the very beginning.
Korra sighed.
"Let's think about Asta later. Its time for me to begin cultivation! Of course I'm not stupid enough to cultivate the original primal god technique. The primal god was holy and good. There is no way a cultivation technique like that would fit with my dao heart!"
After Korra had found the Divine Overbearing Primal God technique, she had studied it closely while trying to unlock all its secrets. Through years of research and alterations she had found a way to alter the primal god technique with another technique.
The original technique she had cultivated in her first life, the Demon encroachment technique. A demonic technique that only the foulest of creatures would cultivate.
It required things such as the blood of new born babies, the life force of beautiful women and other horrifying things. The demon encroachment technique stripped its user of most of their emotions and corrupted their very core.
This was the technique that Korra managed to merge with the godly technique. Making it more powerful and demonic. It became something sort of a balance between yin and yang, good and evil.
Of course Korra would not have that. She further went on to increase the dominion of the demonic side. After hundreds of years, she came up with a new technique. The technique that was more powerful than the supreme technique of the gods.
A technique that exceeded all others because it contained the essence of good, but was dominated by evil. It was the Heaven Crushing Demon Lord technique.
Or now being a girl, the heaven crushing Demon queen technique. This was one of the reasons why the cultivation alliance had decided to get rid of him. Rumors had spread of the abominable thing he had done.
Korra sat in the lotus position and closed her eyes.
She searched deep within her soul and pulled out the technique. Using her divine essence, she absorbed the details of the technique in her consciousness.
Since she already greatly understood the technique she did not wait for any enlightenment, she went straight to cultivating.
Feeling the mana in the air, she begun to absorb and circulate it in the way of the Heaven Crushing Demon Queen technique.
After a few minutes, the mana in the atmosphere begun to gather rapidly. Korra became like a vortex that swallowed all the surrounding mana.
Unbeknownst to her, her exp was increasing at a drastic rate.
Exp: 0/10
....... 0.01/10
........0.06/10

Heather sat in a beautiful rocking chair in her room. The rocking chair was made by her husband. It was beautiful and showed exquisite craftsmanship.
Heather hummed peacefully as she knitted a set of clothing. Suddenly all her senses stood on high alert. Her head snapped up in anticipation. She narrowed her eyes.
"This Mana disturbance..... What is happening? Could it be a beast tide?!"
Heather said in bewilderment.
After a while she shook her head.
"No. It can't be. This mana disturbance is not something I have sensed before, not even in my battle against the de-"
Heather cut herself off. She did not want to remember anything about the past.
She then turned back to the situation at hand. She spread out her senses trying to find the cause of the mana disturbance. Just as she was about to pinpoint the cause, the disturbance suddenly disappeared.
Everything was back to normal. As if nothing had happened in the first place.
"Haah... I was too late. Hmm... Since it is gone, I'll ignore it for now. Zeid already cleared this village before we came. There should be nothing dangerous here... Right?"
Heather said with apprehension.
.........
Back in Korra's room. Mana flowed steadily, but increasingly fast into Korra's mana pool or dantian. She was sweating profusely as she frowned in concentration.
'f**k! That was close. Because this is my first time cultivating a technique this powerful, I almost messed up. I would have exploded if I did not get the mana consumption under control!'
Korra thought in annoyance.
..........
It was evening. The sun had set while the moon hung up in the sky. The door of the Wolfhead residence opened as Zeid Wolfhead walked in. He had just come back from hunting.
"Honey. You are back. You really kept long out there!" Heather said as she helped Zeid settle in.
"Well, you know how it is. When I am out with the guys, I can't just use powerful skills" He said while laughing lightly.
"I know, I know. Well, dinner is ready for you"
"Great! Let's go then"
Dinner was already ready and served. Asta had already prepared everything and was sitting in her seat. Zeid and Heather joined her.
"Where is Korra?" Zeid said as he sat down.
Heather put on a sad expression.
"It is the same as always. She has been in her room the whole day"
When Zeid heard this, he sighed in frustration.
"What is happening to my daughter? Ever since she almost died, its like she has become a whole different person. She used to be soo cheerful"
..........
Korra breathed out as her eyes fluttered open. She looked like a beautiful empress that had descended from the heavens.
"I can't believe this! Is this the power of a godly cultivation technique? After just cultivation for half a day, I have already reached the first stage of the second level of the qi gathering realm! This is unfathomable"
Korra was ecstatic.
"Let me check my status!"
The status screen appeared.
Name: Korra Wolfhead

Skills: Eyes of the Gods (A+); A skill imbedded in your soul. It seems to be not of this world.
God sense (?): Unknown
Mana absorption (SSS): Due to an unknown training you underwent, this skill was created. You are able to recover Mana much faster than normal people. 10% increase in efficiency when doing anything that absorbs mana.
Korra smiled as she reviewed her status.
'Hmm... The increase in my stats was much lower than expected. Hmm? Is that a new skill?'
Korra looked at 'Mana absorption' and the letters attached to it.
'Haa! The grade of the skills have finally appeared. From this girl's memories, only those who have reached level 1 can see the grade of their skill. Mana absorption. It was probably created because of the Heaven Crushing Demon Queen technique. Well, at least it increases my cultivation speed even more. Its even 'SSS' grade!'
While Korra was looking at her stats, her tummy rumbled.
'Damn this body! It is soo weak'
She was clearly infuriated.
'That woman should have prepared dinner. I better get some' Korra thought with some reluctance.
She got up from the bed, wiped her self and went down stairs.
