Chapter 824 - Guiding Darlene

Since he could produce as much True Grandmist Energy as he wanted, the best energy should naturally be given to his women for their body cultivation.

At that moment, he still has over 500 wisps of True Grandmist Energy after deducting the rewards given to the realm spirit.

"I planned to wait until I find suitable body forging methods for you and the others, but I guess it shouldn't be a problem to practice Godfiend Body Forging Method first and switch it out later," Leon assumed.

Darlene could not help but feel touched by his consideration.

She thought Leon never introduced her body cultivation was because he didn't want her to practice it and turn out like the other female warriors in the Infertile Plains.

However, it turns out that he had been looking for better body cultivation methods for her to practice.

"Hm? What's the matter?" Leon asked with a warm smile after Darlene suddenly decided to burrow her head in his chest and embrace him tightly.

"You take care of me so well," she softly spoke.

"Of course I do," Leon stated before adding with a gentle expression, "If I can't even take care of my women, wouldn't that make me incompetent?"

Nevertheless, Darlene's impression of Leon was not entirely wrong; he truly doesn't want his women to become bulky machos.

Not only does he find such massive builds with excessive masses unsightly and lacking in grace and beauty, but he would also feel conflicted if his women looked more masculine than he did.

After embracing each other for some time, Leon uttered, "Alright, I'll instruct on the steps of practicing the Godfiend Body Forging Method first."

"I want to stay like this for a bit longer," Darlene requested before adding, "Can I?"

Leon found it hard to refuse her when she was like that; she was too cute.

Alas, the longer they held each other and sensed each other's warmth and scent, he felt his libido rising alongside their quickening heartbeats.

Nevertheless, he was well aware that the present situation was not appropriate for any deeper acts of intimacy.

'They say beautys' temptations are the fall of heroes,' Leon wryly thought.

He cannot let his carnal desires blind him from doing what needs to be done in order to reach his goals.

After the moment for a bit longer, Leon resisted his primal urges and separated himself from Darlene.

"Alright, that should be enough. Right now, we have more urgent tasks that require attention."

"Mm," Darlene nodded.

Although she wasn't quite satisfied, she could only be content with what she got for the time being.

"Where should we start?" she asked shortly after.

"It'll be easier if I transmit the technique to you directly; you'll comprehend it quicker this way," he said.

Shortly after, Leon transmitted the Godfiend Body Forging Method with a soft poke on her forehead before he gave her time to digest the information injected into her mind.

A few dozen breathes later, Darlene's eyes snapped open with a bright glow.

The profoundness and depth of the technique left her in awe.

If she hadn't learned the Godfiend Body Forging Method, she would have never known that humans could train the body to such godly heights.

Leon didn't transfer the first part of the Godfiend Body Forging Method to Darlene, but the entirety of what he had on it.

It was the standard body forging method from primordial times and recorded the Eight Hidden Gates and Nine Star Palaces after Body Transformation.

He figured it was for the best if Darlene became aware of these realms and mentally prepared herself for the torturous practice she would have to endure on this path.

"True Grandmist Energy…" Darlene softly muttered.

The more she learned about it, the more startled she became.

Considering the Seven Tribes Alliance hoarded numerous heritages from the primordial age, she has learned a bit about the primordial energy that existed at the beginning of time.

It was said that such godly energy was mostly gone from the world, and any trace of it could only be found in the center of supermassive black holes in the vast depth of space.

Recalling the grey energy that Leon used to reward the realm spirit, she became even more startled.

True Grandmist Energy was said to share such an appearance.

Darlene stared at Leon with wide eyes, her mind filled with questions and doubts regarding True Grandmist Energy in his possession.

However, Leon placed a finger on his lips and said in a hushed voice, "Shh, it's a secret."

"Mm!" Darlene repeatedly nodded like a pecking bird.

She didn't expect Leon to be so daring and courageous to show such priceless energy around in the open.

Countless powerhouses would kill to obtain it.

But then again, even she, who had some knowledge about True Grandmist Energy, failed to recognize it until she learned the Godfiend Body Forging Method in detail.

While giving Darlene more time to familiarize herself with the Godfiend Body Forging Method, Leon constructed a private cultivation chamber out of the earth for her.

"Have you understood how to temper your body with the Godfiend Body Forging Method?" he checked on her.

"Mm," Darlene nodded.

However, shortly after, she said with a hesitant look, "But this is the first time I'll be manipulating another form of energy; I'm not sure if I can control it well."

"The breathing technique included the Godfiend Body Forging Method can be regarded top-grade, even among other breathing techniques for energy cultivation," Leon mentioned.

"But if you are unconfident, you can use your spatial ability to guide other forms of energies in your body; this method should reinforce your control. Try simulating it first. There's no need to rush; haste only makes waste."

Leon patiently guided Darlene with a calm and soothing voice that washed away her concerns and put her heart at ease.

"We can start official practice after you gain your confidence," he stated while summoning a wisp of True Grandmist Energy for her practice.

"Mm, I'll give it a go," Darlene complied.

Shortly after, she swallowed the wisp of True Grandmist Energy into her body without absorbing it and focused solely on controlling its flow and movements through her body.
