Chapter 28: Path of Growth (3)
"Alright father I've went through the archive of techniques recorded in your other self's memory and soul module, I've picked techniques for your physical cultivation and energy cultivation, as well as other techniques including a movement technique and formed a template on the exact order you should cultivate from them point forward and into the foundation stage. You should be very pleased with my selection, I'm sure you wouldn't have chosen much different as I know you better than you know yourself, and you haven't started cultivating the primordial soul method, the strength of your soul and the special effects of the technique carried over but not your achievements in the technique."
"Wowww, that sucks. I guess it shouldn't be a big deal with my previous experience and talent, it should be no problem continuing to cultivate the method once my body grows stronger. Now show me the energy cultivation technique I will be using, I'll check the template you prepared after.

[ Bright Lightning Technique ]
This technique is the main technique that members of the Heaven's Eye clan used to cultivate spiritual energy, it can absorb the elements of light and lightning as well as help them gain insights into the law of light and lightning. True masters of the technique perfectly merged the two laws and the essence of the new merged law, bright lightning, was merged with their spiritual energy.
When Horo finished reading the information of the technique a bunch of memories concerning the technique from his other life flashed past his mind, but those were not the only memories he saw.
He also saw all of the memories he had regarding his family and lineage from that life. It was so many memories that he started to have a headache, but the headache only got worse when he witnessed the tragedy he was blamed for and the executions he carried out.
Even with his immense will power Horo couldn't help but drop to his knees and let out a guttural scream as tears ran down his face.
While he was experiencing such emotional agony, he didn't noticed a slight pain on the forehead of his soul.
There was a third eye forming on the forehead of his soul. It began as a vertical slit, and then that slit started opening to reveal a matte black eye. It was just an eye with no vessels or iris, but soon the iris began to form. Extremely miniature whitish grey runes began to form the outline of the iris, when the outline was finish there was suddenly a golden light brighter than a star shining within the space where his soul reside. When the light died down it the eye now had a beautiful golden iris with the whitish grey runes circling it on the matte black eye sclera.
The eye vibrated ferociously as it resonated with his soul that had been cultivated with the primordial method, then it began to slowly close.
It sounded like a long process but it only took an instant in the real world. Horo wasn't screaming any more, but he was still on his knees with his head down with tears still rolling down his eyes.
He hadn't noticed a golden vertical slit on his forehead. If one looked close enough they would be able to tell it was made of runes.
He also didn't know his bloodlines were resonating with the slit and began to embrace each other intimately. That was until he heard Alma speak.
"Father, I know the pain you have just experienced is overwhelming but it also came with gifts. It brought changes to your soul, body, and bloodlines. I can't tell what happened with your bloodlines but I know that your Trueheart bloodline and your Heaven's eye bloodline has grown closer. "
"Now with that being said, you have to get your head out of the stooper because you're about to have company due to you audibly releasing your pain." Said Alma
That's when Horo wiped his eyes, lift his head and said " Ahh I'm sorry you had to see me like that Alma." Horo said as he heard footsteps approaching into his courtyard.
" No worries father I've seen you worse than that, I was there just like you." Said Alma hinting at the fact that a part of her was also with the other piece of his origin in that life.
It sounded like multiple footsteps were approaching, but before whoever they belonged to arrived someone landed in from above.
Horo turned to see it was his dad, Marceles.
Before Horo could speak, Marceles spoke with a concerned tone " Horo is heard that painful scream, are you alright? And what's with that on your forehead?"
Horo responded by saying "Dad I'm fine, I was just using mana for the first time on a skill and went a little overboard. I also don't know what's with this mark it was here when I awoke."
Before Marceles could respond someone else spoke, "Horo you're finally awake." Said Oswalt.
"Yes I a…" before Horo could finish speaking he heard another voice, " Big Brotherrr you're awake I've missed you so much." Said Himora
Horo finally turned away from his father to look towards the entrance to his courtyard and found his sister, his master Jin, and Oswalt all present to witness him finally being up after days.
That's when he spoke, "I'm alright guys I was just using Mana for the first time." He gave them the same excuse he gave his father.
He continued to speak while point at his forehead and saying" As you guys can see I've had some changes happen to me while I was in that weird slumber, I would like some privacy so I can finished evaluating my advancement. I will come see all of you guys when I'm done.
His father spoke next " Alright we were all just worried after hearing you scream like that right after you awoke from days of being unconscious, but seeing as you're all fine we'll give you the privacy you asked for." After saying that he left while towing everyone else off with him.
