Chapter 440: The Scroll
“MP is a crucial currency on planet Terra Nova, Mr. Skyshard. If I were you, I’d be cautious about spending it on replicating an NPC,” Raven advised, his tone final as he concluded the meeting with Leo, gesturing for Raya to stand up.
He was relieved to end the conversation here, fearing that Leo might probe further with difficult questions.
“It’s been a pleasure, Mr. Skyshard. The Universal Government deeply appreciates your cooperation,” Raya said, standing up as she extended her hand for Leo to shake.
“I trust you won’t make the mistake of sharing today’s information with others. We’re watching you…” Raven added, shaking Leo’s hand before exiting the apartment.
Left alone with much to ponder, Leo remained seated, reflecting on the wealth of information he had just received.
Unexpectedly, he had received information about not just his own future and the wider picture, but also about the power structure of the universe and just how much humans from Earth were lacking in terms of strength, compared to the strongest beings in the universe.
“We are not even pebbles…. We are less than pebbles.
In a universe where Demi-Gods and Gods exist, even becoming a Grand-Master is not enough!” Leo concluded, as he felt like a frog who had just escaped his well for the first time ever.
“So…. The real path to improvement is through meditation, huh?” Leo murmured to himself, as he diverted his attention to the meditation scroll that he had received as a gift from the universal government.It was a very peculiar object that glowed with a faint golden hue, almost like it wasn’t just a piece of paper, but rather an invaluable treasure.
As Leo opened the scroll for the first time ever, faint black lines began appearing on the scroll, starting from the top and slowly spreading towards the bottom, as a replica of his own body formed before him.
A meditation scroll only served one owner, and once the scroll was bound to an owner, the meditation technique written inside was then molded to the owner’s particular body.
Since every individual had a unique mana channel within themselves and a unique constitution, the same meditation technique could not be applied for all.
While the core of a meditation technique remained the same, the particular method to perform it depended on the individual’s race, mana affinity and more such factors.
It was for this reason that there was no single meditation technique that worked for all, as following the wrong meditation technique not catered for one’s particular body only led to the user suffering losses, or making insignificant gains.
This was one of the main reasons behind why meditation scrolls were seldom given out to employees even within the universal government, as it was not an item that could be mass produced and copied.
Each scroll had to be inscribed by a master and had to be bestowed with sentience so that when a user binded with the scroll, the scroll could then derive the most suitable meditation method for that body.
[ Mind Nourishment Meditation Method ]
On the top of the scroll was the name of the meditation scroll given to Leo, which was the ‘Mind Nourishment Method’
It was not a very high level method and could be considered (rare) grade at best, however, it was already on-par with the best meditation method obtainable within Terra Nova Online, and was even better for Leo who was in desperate need of developing his mind.
[ This meditation method was created to broaden the horizons of the practitioners mind.
Specifically created for humans, the smartest race in the cosmos, this technique helps unlock the true potential of the human mind.
It is recommended that the user practices this method 6 hours a day, everyday until mastered, taking no breaks in between.
Estimated time to master this meditation method is between 4-6 years. However, this is only an average and the actual time taken to master the technique depends on the practitioner, their consistency and talent ]
The introductory paragraph to the technique gave a general overview of what the technique was about and what benefits it offered, and although the description was a bit vague, Leo did not mind unlocking the hidden capabilities of his brain.
[ To practice this method, the practitioner must form a small pulse of mana within their mana circuit, and then circulate it in real time as the diagram on this scroll shows you to.
The goal is to train your mind to circulate mana alongside random pathways and hence instead of circulating it alongside a set path to create a rhythm, this method makes you take a different path every time, forcing your brain to become active.
After a few minutes of practicing this technique in your early days, you may feel extreme mental fatigue and disorientation, however, this feeling will subside as your mind strengthens ]
The technique description read, as Leo blinked twice upon reading it.
The technique contained a warning inside of it and seemed to be a dynamic type learning method, where Leo had to constantly look at the scroll and guide mana along pathways that the scroll showed him to.
It wasn’t a simple learning method where after learning the method the scroll became useless, but rather something where he would need to rely upon the scroll on a daily basis.
“No wonder this costs over 5 billion gold coins….. this scroll is a unique treasure unlike any other” Leo muttered to himself, as he carried the scroll into the meditation room.
Upon entering the room, Leo immediately realized what the center mat in the room was for, as when he placed the scroll over the center mat, it immediately began levitating in the air at the perfect height for Leo to read it when he was seated upright.
“So that was what the mat was here for….” Leo said to himself, as he now felt stupid for using the mat as a soft support to perform planks.
