Fenrir's Journey : I Shall Devour The Heavens! 77 Excitemen

Without concerning herself about the matters of the Blazing Sun Sect for even a moment longer, Fenrir was already racing through the sky on her return trip to the Devouring Moon Sect . She had learned a lot during her rather short battle with the Elders and was beginning to understand some of the perks involved with Cultivation . It was intrinsically weaker than the magic system she had learned from Eva but Fenrir felt as though it was far more flexible since it didn't use complex magic circles . It was almost like using unnamed magic, making it far weaker than more complex spells while having almost limitless versatility . . .

Fenrir knew that the greater her comprehension of the Sacred Heart of the Ice Phoenix, the more powerful her techniques would become . There was even a chance she would be able to eclipse her own magical capabilities as, compared to the extreme level of knowledge required to cast advanced magic, comprehending Cultivation techniques was far easier . At the same time, though it was weaker, Fenrir could tell that Cultivation techniques were directly catered towards understanding the 'Laws', the fundamental forces that made each world function . Though magic could do the same, it required a great amount of research while also requiring the user to understand the 'formula' behind creating a phenomenon . With Cultivation, Fenrir just needed to guide the energy through specific pathways in her body to have similar effects as using some basic and intermediate level spells . . .

With this new knowledge, Fenrir was a little excited about the future and wanted to immediately return to her closed Cultivation in order to advance her comprehension even further . She was only at the first stage of the Sacred Heart of the Ice Phoenix and it was already extremely versatile so Fenrir believed the following stages would greatly enhance her combat prowess . This had the added effect of allowing her to hide her Devouring Energy better, as she would be able to deal with powerful opponents without having to rely on her 'cloak' offensively . Since she had the boon granted to her by the hateful voice that had thrown her into this world, [Absolute Obsurance], most of her opponents wouldn't be able to see through her energy unless she used it in excess . . .

Before she even realized it, Fenrir was already nearing the Sect grounds so she began to slow her advance to avoid crashing into the mountainside and destroying a part of it in the process . It didn't take that much effort to slow down her acceleration so Fenrir was able to avoid having to cover her embarra.s.sment as she touched down gently in the central courtyard of the Sect Master's residence . Though she hadn't announced her presence, it wasn't long before Wen Xiulan arrived to greet her . Fenrir hadn't missed the momentary shock on her expression, which wasn't that difficult to understand since she had made a trip to the Blazing Sun Sect, dealt with the Sect Elders, and returned, all within the same day .

After calming her heart, Wen Xiulan gave a polite bow towards Fenrir as complex emotions stirred her generally placid heart . She knew Fenrir was very powerful but even their previous Grand Elder, who Fenrir had struggled against, wouldn't have been able to deal with the Blazing Sun Sect so easily . Since they used the same Cultivation Method, Wen Xiulan could sense that Fenrir was only at the basic mastery of the first stage yet seemed to have become inordinately more powerful as a result . With this being the case, Wen Xiulan could only imagine what kind of monstrous existence Fenrir would become if she managed to reach the ninth stage and truly master the techniques contained within . She even began to suspect that the reason behind why Fenrir's Master had never given her a cultivation method before was because her growth was simply too fast . . .

(A/N: I know I haven't been releasing chapters that often, but that is the same for EPIC . I'm very busy with real life at the moment and FJ has never been a priority . Though I'll try to release a chapter every day, I can't make guarantees until the end of Summer since work is the higher priority in my life right now . )
