Shortly after Vaan filtered through all the scrolls in his private study, his knowledge of aura cultivation reached a level that could be said to be second to none on Pangea.

Even his magic theory had not reached such a level despite spending a greater deal of time and cumulation of knowledge on it.

Clearly, magic was a much broader subject than the study of aura.

Ding!

<You have detected a 7% alteration to the high-rank aura cultivation method, Nine Shifting Sun Art (flawed)>

<You have recovered the original version of the Nine Shifting Sun Art (High-rank)>

<You have detected an 11% alteration to the high-rank aura cultivation method, Fireforge Golden Body Method (flawed)>

<You have recovered the original version of the Fireforge Golden Body Art (High-rank)>

<You have detected a 9% alteration to the high-rank aura cultivation method, Holy Aura Scripture (flawed)>

<You have recovered the original version of the Holy Aura Scripture (High-rank)>

After recovering a dozen flawed aura cultivation methods, Vaan noticed a pattern.

Eleven of the dozen flawed aura cultivation methods were self-harming and could ultimately lead to cultivation disabilities.

Although the last flawed aura cultivation method was also self-harming, it wasn't anywhere near as severe as the other eleven flawed aura cultivation methods.

However, that was also precisely what made it the most dangerous.

The core of aura cultivation has always revolved around the circulation of aura through the body's existing channels. No matter the method, the circulation path was mainly situated in the upper body, where the Middle Dantian and Lower Dantian were located.

The Upper Dantian in the head was never involved.

This was because the brain was sensitive and had complex channels. A mistake could cause irreparable damage to the psyche, not to mention it was extremely difficult to guide the blood and mana through a specific path with just bodily exercises.

Only witches would have an easier time due to their ability to manipulate mana with their minds.

Nevertheless, the flawed version of the Holy Aura Scripture involved circulating aura to the head, specifically the prefrontal cortex part of the brain.

That's right, the Holy Aura Scripture didn't target the Upper Dantian but the prefrontal cortex.

The prefrontal cortex was the brain region that regulated one's thoughts, actions, and emotions. It was the high-order cognitive process modulator.

If it were damaged, behavioral changes and intelligence reduction were just some of the more minor effects and not the most important problem.

The most crucial problem was what people could do to him once such a vital brain region was damaged.

"Heh," Vaan snickered.

He could already read the Sun God Temple's intention. Its high authorities most likely wanted to brainwash him into becoming their puppet god.

It was the Sun God Temple's strength – to brainwash people into joining their religion.

Nevertheless, these people were underestimating him too much.

Now that he had recovered the original version of the Holy Aura Scripture, its imperfections also disappeared.

Ding!

<You have consumed five mid-rank mana stones>

<You have produced a unit of holy aura power>

Vaan briefly practiced the Holy Aura Scripture to produce some holy aura before stopping. He figured the holy aura would be handy for the near future.

'The names of the rebellious lords and nobles have also been memorized, and the holy aura had been cultivated. That's two agendas out of the way; Vaan mused.

He could finally resume his original plan.

Ding!

<You have created a new peak-rank aura cultivation method, Heavenly Fire Art>

<The Heavenly Fire Art allows aura users to cultivate a fire-attribute aura comparable to true flames>

Ding!

<You have divided Heavenly Fire Art (Peak-rank) into four volumes and created an additional four aura cultivation methods>

<Heavenly Fire Art (Vol.1): The Way of Fire (Low-rank) has been created>

<Heavenly Fire Art (Vol.2): The Great Way of Fire (Mid-rank) has been created>

<Heavenly Fire Art (Vol.3): The Superior Way of Fire (High-rank) has been created>

<Heavenly Fire Art (Vol.4): The Heavenly Way of Fire (Peak-rank) has been created>

After creating the four volumes of the Heavenly Fire Art, Vaan softly sighed in relaxation.

He only created the Heavenly Fire Art for one purpose - to distribute it to the men in the Black Rose Kingdom and Holy Knight Empire to practice.

Every man would be provided the first volume free of charge.

However, if they want to acquire the latter volumes of the Heavenly Fire Art, it would depend on their contribution and loyalty.

The biggest issue with aura cultivation in both countries was that there was no quality standardized method of aura cultivation. The current aura cultivation methods circulating through the market and made readily available all had flaws and issues.

Ordinary male witch descendants who practiced these methods would develop problems hindering their future progress.

Thus, if he wanted to strengthen the populace in preparation for the unknown future in Chaos, he had to remove the flawed methods from the market and give them a universally acceptable aura cultivation method - one that even ordinary men could practice.

Naturally, without innate mana veins, ordinary men couldn't cultivate aura effectively like male witch descendants.

They would have to work many times harder to build up their body and nourish their veins with mana repeatedly before they had a chance of developing mana veins and producing a shred of aura.

Nevertheless, a fire-attribute aura cultivation method wasn't suitable for everyone.

As such, Vaan intended to develop more flawless aura cultivation methods.
