Chapter 80 - Cultivation!

Ch-80 

Their both energy met with the divine sword which was made of a string of Sanskrit words. When the three energies met together, They flew into the sky passing through the boundaries of Gopuram of the temple. When they reached the sky, the energy absorbed the beautiful rays emitted by the evening sun making them explode in the sky shaking the whole world. 

The evening birds which were flying back to their nests felt the vibration and flew on the other side. The sky was filled with golden light making the few tens of meters covered with golden beams in the sky giving an illusion that it was the day of the Solar Eclipse. 

Shakti felt her body was going to weaken the moment she started bursting her soul energy in large amounts. She felt a minute was short but only now she realized she was feeling a minute was equal to a millennium. She felt like every part of her body was peeling/tearing apart. Every cell of her body screams in pain. But she endured through her gritted teeth. 

When the explosion occurred in the sky, the process started sucking more of the soul energy from the Clan guru and Shakti. So, they both experienced pain beyond the limits. The clan guru knew how to go through this pain, unlike Shakti. The Clan guru didn't feel much pain like Shakti. 

The minute, who felt like a millennium was finished in a swift. Shakti felt like her whole body started lightening up. 

After sucking the energy, the explosion which occurred turned into a divine sword that was a thousand times bigger than the previous one. After sucking enough energy it divided into twenty equal swords with sharp ends just like the previous one. Few waves occurred in the sky before shooting down in the blink of an eye. Eighteen swords directly shot into the eight pieces. Those eight pieces turned into a circular form and then straight rod shape and then turned into a shape of almond-sized seed in gold color. The remaining two swords shot into the Clan Priest and Shakti at the center of their heads. Her powers doubled and her abilities doubled. 

But the clan guru was quicker; he turned the divine swords towards the Shakti direction. The second sword also entered Shakti's body making her body two thousand times stronger and restoring the soul's energy. When the second divine power sword entered her body, she felt her whole body was screaming in pain. The pain which she felt was subsided, returned with hundredfold of torture. 

As the saying goes, too much of anything may kill you. The same thing was happening to her. 

But the Clan Guru wasn't trying to kill her but trying to make her strong. The energy, abilities, and powers which were already doubled due to the previous divine power sword now doubled again. When the whole process was completed, the divine Sanskrit words which came from the walls of the Garbhagudi went back to them and settled in the curves assigned for them. 

The divine light which glowed all over the temple, the garbha griha, and the sky disappeared instantly making it normal like usual. 

Shakti opened her eyes but she couldn't open her eyes due to the tiredness she experienced just now. There was no single muscle, cell, or tissue that doesn't scream from pain. But when she opened her eyes, she saw eighteen magical seeds on the floor. 

She gave a weak smile at the sight. 

"Master, you turned the soul energy that should be sucked inside me to you. Then what about you?" she asked. 

"Little girl! I am your master, not another way around! You need a few thousands of years to cultivate to the point you were there. But I am a thousand times stronger than the present you! I am not the right person that you should be worried about but your brother!" he said. 

"Master! Forgive my insolence. I have two other things to ask! You said Raudramuki would be married to my brother but she was dead along with the child in her womb! Will he stay alone in this life?" she asked. 

"Nope! You have secured her body, right?" he asked. 

"Yes, Master," she said. 

"I will on the day of twenty-first from the days she died. Which means there were six days left. Keep it in oil, so that body will not rot!" he said. 

"your order," she replied. 

"I know you were generous. But too much generosity may kill you! One seed was enough for the elders. Save those seeds for now. You will need them. After three hundred years you will need them to save your brother's life!" he said as he returned to his meditation. 

"Master…" before she could complain, the clan guru bet her. 

"Believe me! I won't let anything happen to him! I will try my best! And I know your worries about him. There was a way to make him stronger. But it would be like seeking his death. If he was ready, let him come here! After he cultivated we can use that divine seed to make him reach your goal!" the clan said. 

"Thank you, Master! I am happy! I will return with offerings tomorrow!" she said. 

"You may leave! Practice energy flow exercises(1). It will turn your body into normal!" he said. 

Shakti nodded and touched his feet before leaving. 

Shakti left the temple after descending the hundred and eight steps. It was almost turning dark by the time she reached her palace. 

As her Master said, she practiced energy flow exercises. When she started she felt her body start relaxing, she continued it for two more hours before feeling relaxed and content. She took a bath prepared by the royal maids. She just returned to her bed in the thin inner clothing and slept.

And she was really tired from today's event. So, she immediately drifted into sleep.

Author's Notes:

Tomorrow we will see Cyrus. 

You will also see his cultivation. 

In Hindu mythology, cultivation takes less time, unlike other mythologies. But in Indian mythologies, the cultivation pushes them towards the door of death. And the luck rate could be counted in single-digit percent. You may think, the cultivation here takes place so quickly, why is it so unbelievable. This is the reason. In many books, you may have read that cultivation takes place for years!

What do you think will happen next? 

Can Cyrus become strong enough? 

Why do you think his sister is being harsh now? 

Energy Flow Exercises: Similar to Qi exercises.

Garbhagudi: The Main Sanctuary.
