Chapter 692: Next goal
Chapter 692: Next goal
“Just what kind of planet is that?” He mumbled, only to hear the City Lord’s prompt answer.
“Shima is an infinitely large planet that is said to have been birthed by devouring an entire universe! Don’t ask me how that works, I don’t know that either…”
After that she halted for a moment, only to say.
“I can tell that you want to find out more about the Celestia race, but that’s not useful for now….cultivate and become strong enough to find out more about your true heritage.
If you have more questions about the Celestia race, look for someone who has researched races, or someone who might know them!”
Jason noticed the way the City Lord said ‘true heritage’ but he dropped the topic, not understanding why Luna didn’t believe him.
Little did he know that it was a perfectly normal reaction of her to act as she did, and it was more of Jason’s obliviousness that was the issue.
‘If someone asks me about my heritage, should I name a different race for the time being?’ He thus wondered, only to be unable to think of a race to mention.
At that moment, Jason truly realised that his knowledge was very shallow about many things and he still had a lot to learn.
However, without being able to fill the gaps in his knowledge right off the bat, Jason rather focused on increasing his strength.
That was the most important for now, followed by procuring knowledge.
Simultaneously, he would have to finish cleansing the dead mana vein in Spyro, preferably before it hatched.
However, that was not much of an issue, and rather easy in comparison to increasing his strength to the extent he wanted it to reach.
As such, he bid farewell to the City Lord, tightly grasping the Mythic Essence cultivation manual before leaving the main hall.
In the past hour or so, many things had occurred, and he had learned and obtained many things.
‘So…Kinra Island is…my next goal!’
Jason was still oblivious to the City Lord’s true goal, but instead of focusing on that, he decided to focus on himself, and the minuscule possibility that he might be able to procure an inheritance if he were to be extremely fortunate!
The chance was small, but even if he wouldn’t be fortunate enough it didn’t matter.
To put it simply, Jason was already satisfied with the Mythic Essence technique, and very excited about the chance to procure smaller rewards if he were to enter an Inheritance site with Jennifer, which would certainly happen.
Because of that, he had to increase his strength to the highest possible degree, using every single second to cultivate efficiently.
However, first of all, he had to fully memorise the first stage of the Mythic Essence technique.
This took almost two weeks, but at the same time, Jason was able to take care of Spyro’s dead mana veins, which were now fully expelled.
As such, the Spiral Spirit was now using its fullest potential, even if its body had yet to recuperate from the damages it had obtained earlier.
With six weeks left before they would depart, Jason could finally start cultivating with the Mythic Essence technique.
Circulating a tremendous amount of mana through his mana vein as described, he started to cultivate and it felt as if they were on fire, but Jason endured everything without letting the slightest gasp escape his lips.
Meanwhile, Petri and Solaris were using their own means to cultivate, trying not to fall behind Jason, whose cultivation speed accelerated drastically.
Overcoming the pain, Jason’s cultivation speed increased by more than four times, only for his proficiency in the first stage to increase slowly.
He was still far away from reaching the peak of the first stage, but the results he’d already obtained were more than satisfying.
As such, Jason grew immune to the pain as his mana core began to heat up owing to the rapid pace at which mana was circulated through his body.
His entire mana had been divided into six streams that had to be controlled at the same time, while more and more mana was absorbed from the surrounding.
With Petri, Solaris, and his own Stigma fully unleashed, their effects increased as they overlapped, only for the Celestia aura to merge with the Stigmas’ capacities, further elevating the mana circulation speed.
Thus, Jason’s cultivation speed was much higher compared to others at the same proficiency of the Mythic Essence technique.
Nevertheless, he never slacked off and was fully focused on cultivating as if his life was on the line.
That was, in fact, exactly the case because Jason knew that he had to reach the highest possible strength in order to survive on Kinra Island and not become a burden on Jennifer!
Because of that, he couldn’t reveal his entire joy when he attained the peak of the Lique stage, liquefying the 10,000 highly compressed mana drops.
Jason was happy, but at the same time, he knew that he shouldn’t compare his present achievement to the standards of Argos anymore.
Right now, he was on Manyr, and according to his age,, he should have reached the peak of the Prismar stage already if one were to consider the cultivation technique he used and his talent.
That was if he had been born on Manyr, which was, however, not the case.
Considering that it had been around a year since he arrived on Manyr, Jason felt that he had achieved a lot.
As such, there was no need for him to compare himself to others.
Everyone had their own talent and prowess that gave them specific advantages or disadvantages.
With that in mind, Jason focused solely on himself and his soulbonds that were working relentlessly, just like him.
Spyro had hatched shortly before Jason had been able to reach the peak of the Lique stage, which was great because the little Spiral Spirit could finally start absorbing spirit force without any issue, while simultaneously enhancing Jason’s mind.
The amplification from a Spiral beast was different compared to the other two enhancements he received because only his brain and mind were affected.
His mind felt as if it was on fire and then beaten to a pulp, the first time he received Spyro’s enhancement.
Afterward, the pain had drastically reduced, and it was negligible in face of the Mythic Essence cultivation technique’s pain.
However, what was definitely not negligible was Spyro’s form!
This was something that had overjoyed Jason because Spyro’s true form was anything but a disadvantage, it was a formless Spirit!
As such, every form and shape could be used at any time, as if it was Spyro’s true form.
Jason found this to be exceptional, and the only slight disadvantage was that Spyro’s cultivation base had to be high enough for it to make complex shapes.
But that was only logical in Jason’s opinion.
While Spyro had finally hatched, Artemis was still evolving, and Petri had increased its physical strength at a rapid pace.
Even if the basilisk was unable to use any technique, with enough pure and highly qualitative primordial energy around, it was impossible not to accelerate his cultivation speed.
Jason didn’t have any cultivation stones left to use, but oddly enough, both Jennifer and the City Lord had offered some extremely high-quality cultivation stones in all three varieties to him.
Each was for one of his soulbonds, and Artemis was eager to devour the mana stones that could accelerate her evolution to a certain degree.
Despite that, it would still take a long time for the evolution to be completed.
Thus, Solaris was using the majority of mana stones, in order to accumulate enough mana to create the second solidified prismarine crystal.
This was easier said than done because one had to accumulate energy, liquefy mana once again and then start the compression process.
Despite the difficulties, nobody complained because the arduous part of cultivating would just start in the Prismar stage.
With every cultivation stage, the complexity of work and the efforts one had to put in increased, and Jason was already eager to see how his future path would be, and where it would lead him.
Two months had passed, and they were about to depart to Kinra Island, which made Jason clench his fists as he felt his strength, glad about having accepted the City Lord’s offer.
‘Let’s go!’
