Victoria opened the door to her apartment after a long day handling family business matters. She had spent hours in meetings with various cultivation resource suppliers, negotiating deals for the Strathor family. Her Soul Realm cultivation made these business relationships easier to manage.
As she entered her living room, Victoria immediately noticed Ryven sitting in meditation on her sofa. But something was different about his presence. He was floating slightly above the cushions in a perfect lotus position, and the air around him was thick with spiritual energy.
Golden runes and symbols were floating around his body, rotating in complex patterns that made her eyes widen in amazement. The spiritual pressure coming from him was intense but not threatening. Victoria could feel her own cultivation base responding to his presence.
"What laws has he comprehended?" she whispered to herself, setting down her purse and approaching carefully.
She sat down on the floor near him and pulled out some beast cores from her storage ring. Her Soul Realm breakthrough was stable, but she still needed to work on strengthening her foundation. The cores would help her absorb spiritual energy.
But as Victoria began her cultivation session, she realized something incredible was happening. The golden runes floating around Ryven were actual law fragments - pieces of universal laws made visible through his intense comprehension work. She could see fire law symbols, water law patterns, space law formations, and many others.
The effect on her own cultivation was immediate. Laws that had seemed impossible to understand before were becoming clear just by being near him. Her ice law comprehension started advancing rapidly. Her light law understanding deepened beyond anything she had experienced.
"Project your spiritual consciousness into the runes."
Ryven's voice appeared directly in her mind, though he hadn't opened his eyes or stopped his meditation. Victoria followed his advice, sending her spiritual awareness toward the floating law symbols.
The result was incredible. Her law comprehension speed increased by three hundred percent. The golden runes seemed to guide her understanding, showing her connections and patterns that would have taken decades to discover on her own.
As Victoria continued cultivating, she discovered something unexpected. Along with her familiar ice and light laws, she found she had natural compatibility with gravity, space, and time laws as well. These new affinities responded to her cultivation efforts in ways she had never imagined possible.
Hours passed as both of them remained deep in cultivation. Victoria's advancement was rapid and steady, fueled by the law insights that Ryven's presence provided. Neither of them felt the need to stop for food, water, or rest. They had entered a special state of enlightenment where normal physical needs became irrelevant.
Days blended together as their cultivation session continued. Victoria's ice law reached expert level mastery. Her light law advanced to intermediate levels. The newly discovered gravity, space, and time law affinities developed rapidly from nothing to basic competency levels.
Ryven's own cultivation continued advancing at the same time. The laws around him grew more complex and powerful, creating an environment that benefited both of them. His chaos law mastery was approaching new heights that she couldn't fully understand.
On the third day, Victoria felt her Soul Realm cultivation becoming much more stable and powerful. The law insights were not just improving her understanding - they were fundamentally changing her cultivation foundation, making it stronger than it had ever been.
By the fifth day, Victoria realized her advancement during this single session had surpassed what she had accomplished in the previous decade. Her primary laws had reached levels that should have taken years to achieve, while her newly discovered affinities were developing at impossible speeds.
As the seventh day approached, both of them remained locked in their enlightenment state. Victoria's consciousness was completely focused on law comprehension and spiritual advancement. The outside world had ceased to exist for her - there was only the flow of insights and the steady progress of her cultivation.
The golden runes around Ryven continued to provide guidance for her understanding. Her spiritual foundation was being rebuilt on principles that she had never known existed. Laws that had been mysterious concepts were becoming as natural as breathing.
Neither Victoria nor Ryven was aware that their week-long cultivation session was creating effects far beyond the walls of the apartment. Their consciousness remained focused entirely inward, processing law insights at rates that defied normal cultivation theory.
As the seventh day ended, their special enlightenment state began to fade naturally. The intense law comprehension gradually settled into their foundations, becoming permanent parts of their advancement. Victoria's week of impossible progress was complete, though she had no idea of the commotion it had caused in the world outside.
