Chapter 418 - Cultivation Splitting
"I am ready to start the process, but how exactly are you planning to help me and reduce the risk?" asked Elizabeth.
After the information and instructions for the cultivation splitting appeared in her mind, the risk became even more clear to her and it stated that the chance of succeeding was less than 1%.
With her constitution, she could guess that it was higher as her unique physique made her more suited to it, but the 50% chance that Adam stated seemed very difficult from what she had read.
"I will suppress and control your energy throughout the process and also help you in releasing all your energy, so that you can focus on completing the process" answered Adam.
"You can do that?" she exclaimed, knowing that it would be a big help if he was able to do so after understanding the content of the forbidden method.
"Yes, but I will require you to completely relax and lay on your back"
Adam's mental strength, intelligence stat, Mind Ring and energy control made it so that he could complete regulate and control every inch of his body, and he could do so for others as long as they relaxed and didn't resist.
Even if they did resist his control, he would still be able to impose his mental control over others and Adam had come a long way in every single aspect of himself.
She did as he said and lay on her back and completely relaxed her body.
"I will need to make contact with your skin if you don't mind and preferably your lower abdomen where the dantian is situated" stated Adam.
She didn't mind and lifted her shirt, revealing her toned abdomen and slender waist.
Adam wasn't fazed by what he saw in the slightest, but he was impressed by her physique as he placed his palms on her lower abdomen.
He then closed his eyes and focused while activating the power of his Mind Ring, then began slowly wielding her energy for her.
It was hard for Elizabeth to completely relinquish control of her energy, but after a few minutes of relaxing and calming herself down, Adam had complete control of her flow of energy.
Such a feat was only possible because she had complete trust in him and Adam was focusing so hard as to make sure that Elizabeth was fine that he was sweating profusely.
"Start now and focus as much as you can. I cannot lose such a valued leader and friend, so I order you to pull through" uttered Adam.
Elizabeth's life was in Adam's hand as he was taking on most of the burden.
Knowing that, Elizabeth didn't want to trie Adam out any more than she needed to and began the process.
It began with a chant and she needed to completely restructure her energy pathways to link to her meridians differently and form two separate energy cycles.
Once that was completed, she would then need to split her dantian in half and the entire process was extremely painful, but despite the pain, the individual would still have to stay focused.
Adam was confident in his pain tolerance, but he wasn't sure how much Elizabeth could endure, which was why he was focusing so hard and encouraging her as much as he could.
As soon as she began her body had begun to writhe in pain, but Adam held her down from her abdomen and continued giving her words of support and encouragement.
He was also struggling to hold her down and also suppress her energy, while wielding it to assist her in the process and recover the damage that was dealt to her body in the process.
Screams of pain began to be heard throughout the secret base and Elizabeth was barely managing to stay conscious, let alone control and continue the process, but she was still managing to pull through.
Adam didn't know the full process, but he had briefly read through the manual, his enhanced mental capabilities and his own knowledge were enough for him to have an idea of what the process entailed.
Veins bulged from his forehead as he concentrated and pushed his mind to its limits, continuously drawing in power from the Mind Ring.
Elizabeth's energy pathways and cultivation were on the verge of collapsing and in the process she was likely to die, but yet she was still unable to handle the pain.
"Help me, I can't do it alone" exclaimed Adam who was barely able to hold back her cultivation, let alone continue the process for her.
It seemed as though Elizabeth's mind was too far gone and overwhelmed by the pain of restructuring and splitting her cultivation, but Adam's voice seemed to be helping her regain her mind.
His warm and sweaty palms that were tightly gripping her abdomen, along with his worried and struggling voice helped Elizabeth regain herself and she couldn't allow herself to rely on Adam on all occasions.
She felt as though she was all bark and no bite.
Remembering how confident and eager she was to follow through with the process, and yet she hadn't even been able to complete the first part and Adam was the only thing stopping her from failing.
'I can't let him down and this is my chance to finally become valued. Adam forgave me, allowed me to regain the heritage of my family and also gave me a purpose. Failing here is not an option'
Cultivation Splitting was much more difficult, painful and risky than she had ever imagined, but she couldn't turn back or give up, so gritted her teeth and attempted to endure the pain and continue the process.
Adam, who was pushing his mind to its limits, aided her and let out a sigh of relief after seeing her regain control, but she was still struggling and he still needed to continue focusing and supporting her.
But even with that support, the process was still extremely difficult.
Will she be able to pull it off?
