Heart and Brain Crystalization

While with Da Shan help, resources, powerful breathing ability and direct Body tempering skill of the sect - Sky Fall tempering, it took less than a month for Ren to cross 7th stage - internal organ tempering and arrive to the most tricky part of this realm. Heart and Brain crystalization.

While crystalization itself wouldnt be a problem for him, who used Body tempering Elixir of the peak quality and many more resources while still having crystalization pills prepared - Pills of the third grade used to send huge amout of QI and spiritual energy to Heart and Brain in order to make them reach crystalized stage fast. The problem was Mind and body palace establishment that would follow. It was something every person had to without any external help. While there were some things that could give a help or push in case someone couldnt make it, when oneself estabilshed them without any help with full agreement with their own inner self their fundation would be the the best, as it was something that could affect them for life.

There were few kinds of Mind and Body palaces person could create. Someone who whose drive was lust would have their mind palace full of distracting thoughts in this direction and would most likely be made in a way that he/she sees as a perfect emviroment to perfom these acts, which in turn later on in their life it would be hard to get rid of them completly. It was more or less Palace filled with a drive to cultivation. There of course were exceptions, people with any desire, their Palaces were simply empty.

Those who were greedy like Ren Li would have their palaces made of expansive Heavenly materials while full of precious things they would never want to let go if they ever get them! While Mind Palace more or less wasnt that important at this stage to cultivation it was still something everyone needed, it served as a place their Spirit will reside. If they ever focused themself hard enough, they would be able to move as their spirit in the Mind Palace. If someone ever wanted to attack their soul they would also have to invade their Mind Palace!

Mind palace would transform into Soul Palace later on in the cultivation, so even is someone made a slappy weird one it was still something that could be changed once they reached that stage.

Body Palace on the other hand was refered to the Heart itself. It was supposed to hold all the physical energies one had, while crystalized Heart was already good enough - coupled with Body Palace was many times more effective. It was like the very core of the Heart. The problem was that it was something that existed in reality, thats why creating it was 10 if not 100 times harder compared to Mind Palace. There were many or even to say way too many who couldnt break this stage.

Fortunely Da Shan was already supreme existence compared to Ren Li, thats why his guidance on these aspects helped him a lot! No matter what problem he faced in the span of about 70 days he managed to establish both Mind and Body palace and reach 9th stage of Body tempering realm!
