True Cultivation!

Hou felt the heat and while it was bearable it wasn't comfortable. Tianmo looked back, "Yeah How'd you know?"

Then he realised and face palmed, "Is it too hot? I forgot it might not be comfortable if you're not used to it, I asked for the heat in my room to be changed, Master Sheng is quite nice at changing little things for you..."

Hou shook his head and answered, "No not too hot, just unexpected, that's all"

Tianmo flicked husband up causing sand to spear in a pillar below his hand, "Is it that unexpected? With my main cultivation techniques based of desert sand and all?"

"Well I don't know where you got your powers, if it was some sort of fortutious encounter it might be completely irrelevant," Hou rebuked.

"Fair point. Enough chit-chat though, it isn't really my thing."

He kicked the sand pillar and it disappeared I to the floorboards. He pulled out two chair and placed them facing each other, sitting down on one. Hou took his place on the other and the exchange session began.

"I'll give you my thought expansion and splitting technique, you give me the intuition strengthening and lengthening technique, yes?"

"That's the idea, shall I go first?" Hou cracked his fingers and prepared the Vast Eyes technique in his mind.

Tianmo nodded and Hou began, "Hold out your hand," Tianmo held it out palm up.

Hou took it and held it whole he closed his eyes, "I'm going to engrave the cognition part into your hand, I want you to pay attention and memories it."

Tianmo nodded and began focusing onto his palm, engraving what he saw into his mind so that he would not forget it. Hou began creating the formation.

He used his mental energy to create a bad which he used cognition laws to create. Even though before he was using them unconsciously by copying Mo Huai, he now knew exactly what he needed to do.

Not only did he place in the cognition laws, he impregnated those laws with different intentions which would influence how it works.

The whole formation came together, creating the flowing xact effect the Vast Eyes technique needed. "This is the base, now as you activate the Vast Eyes technique as I will describe the formation will help form it and then interpret the data gathered by the technique."

Then Hou described in as meticulous detail as he could how to use the Vast Eyes technique. He claimed all the laws and what impression was needed. He would explain how he created that impression which would allow Tianmo to get ideas on how to do that himself.

Tianmo listened in and as he finished he let out a murmur unconsciously, "Brilliant..." Then he said directly to Hou, "This technique is amazing, very much worth what I am giving you. While it's focus is on investigation and specifically seeing far...with a few changes to intention and the expressions here and there the basic outline is enough to just amplify certain aspects of intuition..."

Hou smiled and nodded while not fully understanding the brilliance since he had only seen these top tier techniques, 'I do t really understand but it's nice to see Tianmo so... talkative'

Tianmo stood up and bowed lightly, "just excuse me for a second, I just want to write down any of the thoughts and things I need to remember. Right now I held them in my mind with a technique I had but it's quite exhausting haha"

He quickly dashed Dover to his desk and pulled out a few pieces of paper. He began jotting down the thoughts he had and certain instructions Hou said, one that would help him when modifying the technique to fit him.

This was especially important as the laws needed for the technique were not the usual ones he used and so he had little experience or amount.

If he wanted to use the technique as is, it would be weak and not too useful. But the brilliance is that it was easy to notify with it's easy base, he could change the laws to ones he had much of.

He finished jotting things down and put down the pen, "Sorry for the wait, hold out both your hands and place them in your knees"

Hou had a flash of memory and asked, "I remember seeing you sit like this before, so that what it was..."

Tianmo chuckled, "Yes but also it's become a sort of habit even when not suing the technique."

Hou smiled, "I see."

Tianmo thought about how he used the technique and tried to put that into words, "I want you to focus on willpower, this is a minimal law technique. Really the base is a qi technique that I altered..."

Hou summoned up a lake of mental energy in his mind, this was a representation of the mental energy he had available right now. This was a large amount for where he was in his cultivation journey but he had the quasi-Nascent Soul and other experiences that helped him.

"Okay, what do I do?"

"I didn't realise it before but this technique is really focus on intention, I'm going to send the intention into your mind. I want you to experience it and recreate it within your own mind."

He continued, "Turn that normal 'pure' willpower into something different...something 'living'."

Hou nodded and awaited the intention, not rejecting it in advance. He let down his defences with Mo Huai's assurance that he was safe.

Tianmo took a deep breath and relaxed, once he was serene. He started by creating an orb of gentle mental energy. It was not an attack, that was something he needed to make sure he was not creating.

He created the gentle orb of water like mental energy and started injecting the intention necessary for his technique.

The water turned visible, it became thick and darker. It turned into a sludge, a dark sludge which looked like hands teaching for the surface, drowning bodies.

Then Tianmo started shaking and carefully moved his hands forwards. He pushed the sludge into Hou's head. It moved around him then the hands reached inwards and into Hou's 'sea of willpower'.

From within Hou's quasi-Nascent Soul he inspected his willpower and then noticed immediately when Tianmo's intention 'attacked'.

At the same time, Yue awoke within the Celestial Law Amplifying Physique. The intention was pushed into Hou's body, it affected both his quasi-Nascent Soul and Yue's consciousness.

Both of their willpower shook and screamed. The Celestial Law Amplifying Physique was unaware of what was going to happen and it began to loosen, the man-made physique melting and blurring with reality turning into a vaguely human shaped mass of galaxies.

At the same time, Hou's quasi-Nascent Soul pulled at the body creating a screeching sound that pierced Tainmo's soul.
