Jade opened his eyes, there was just darkness. He was alive, but not much else was known. Trying to move Jade realized he couldn’t. Thinking back to the his circumstances before he past out, it was a painful blur. Jade shook of the pain and began to meditate the Divine Jade Body, his technique without it he would probably have died as a mortal or low level cultivator.

Following the steps to change the mind, heart and body. Jade’s mind flowed throughout the body, he then realized he was a stone, this almost caused his to stop cultivating, but he was experienced enough to not stop. Jade felt an orb of energy come towards him. Instead of being pure and gentle Qi, it was violent and ever changing. As the violent energy comes into his stone body a pinging sound came to his mind.

Dungeon, you need to grow and mature.

Gather mana to grow, use points to learn how to make powerful creatures and survive.

Watch out for outer races they desire your core. Beware your creatures as they may seek to control you. Devour all that seek your power.

Like a transfer technique, a flow of information enter Jade’s mind. It was a simple way to gather an energy called mana. Trying out the technique, it was a simple mental focus with a weird breathing, or rather a resonance to gather mana. Jade thought to himself before trying out the technique. Jade focused keeping up the technique, for what Jade counted out to be seven days and nights the technique was used, until one orb of violent energy entered his body.

‘Mana!’ Jade now knew the energies name. From again experience Jade had made a guess, but didn’t assume.

Skill Gained: Basic Dungeon Mana Gathering Level 1

Simple mana gathering for Dungeons

It was exhausting. Jade was mentally drained from counting out the time and keeping the mind set and resonance going. So as any ancient cultivator would do, he meditated in his main meditation technique. While resting, another orb of mana entered his body. Jade keeps going and another 7 orbs of mana enters his body. A Ping and a Ding sound came out.

Mana absorption

Another flow of information occurs. This time Jade was ready for it. Jade learned how to move stone with mana, and how to turn matter into mana. Jade likened the Dungeon Mana Manipulation to immortal sense in a more limited way. Immortal sense has also been called divine sense or spirit sense. Immortal sense was the ability to use soul energy, Qi or some other energy type to examine, manipulate and power things basically. There was other uses but that is the basic uses.

The Mana absorption was similar to some cultivation techniques to take Qi and other energies out of resources, but mana absorption was more powerful.

Trying out the absorption on the nearby rocks, Jade felt the rock almost like a skin melt down into orbs of mana. There was only 3 or so orbs of mana for 15 cubes of stone and dirt. The space was now open. Jade had an epiphany. He was a dungeon core. He knew the word dungeon and that he was a stone but it just hit him about what that meant together. He played some games with dungeons, but not many had dungeon cores. With that thought ending he knew had to continue leveling.
