Chapter 67 [Future Planning]
There were even some cracks visible in the webs now. Although the Man-Faced Demon Spider was extremely toxic, there was still a limit to its toxicity. Once the protection of the webs disappeared, they would no longer be safe to rest in this spot as after all, they, too, were afraid of the toxic spider webs!
“How much spirit energy do you all think we’ve absorbed?” Ouranos asked.
Erenay frowned for a moment before she sat down on a rock she crossed her legs she sat her stick cane down and she smoothed her clothes out.
"We all should have absorbed four to five hundred years worth of spirit energy. You and I have it all concentrated in our single soul ring, while the others have increased each of their two soul rings by about two hundred years. There should also still be about one or two hundred years worth of spirit energy in our surroundings, but it’ll take us too long to absorb it. We’ll need to be especially careful of other Spirit Masters after we depart. They’re a much greater threat to us now than demonic spirit beasts," Erenay tone was every cold but she opened her eyes and a mysterious aura shot out for a moment before it disappeared.
Erenay deduction was correct. A thick air of spirit energy currently hung around their bodies, and if another party of Spirit Masters saw them, they might immediately be targeted. After all, there were no true deaths in the spirit ascension platform, and who wouldn’t want to absorb such rich spirit energy?
“Take it easy. In one move, we’ve already passed our final exam and absorbed far more spirit energy than usual. Even if we encounter a powerful foe and get ejected from the spirit ascension platform, that’s okay, too. Everyone’s recovered now, right? Let’s go then.”
Ouranos's words had injected vigor into everyone’s minds. He took out his hammers once more and reminded his comrade.
“Everyone, pay attention to how much your spirit soul can bear. If you feel like you’re approaching the limits of how much it can absorb, then immediately press the button to exit the spirit ascension platform. Don’t be greedy, or else your body or your spiritual power might collapse, and then you’ll really be in trouble.”
Although he himself was beginning to feel a bit bloated, he hadn’t reached the limits yet. According to Erenay’s assessment, he should still be able to absorb a lot more spirit energy, so he didn’t have to worry about it for now.
After all, the strength of his body and spiritual power was directly related to how strong of a spirit soul he could support. There was no need to even speak of his body’s strength and his spiritual power growth rate. They were both outstanding, allowing him to already reach the Spirit Connection realm, so he certainly had the capabilities to bear a single thousand-year spirit soul.
A thousand-year spirit soul… Would he truly be able to walk this path?
His mind was confused but at the same time he was hopeful he has always dreamed about being a true spirit master and fighting against a strong spirit master and fighting for mankind.
Ouranos led his team out, carefully avoiding the toxic webs. They left their miraculous, safe heaven and once again returned to the dangers of the forest.
The chaos of an assortment of noises soon entered their ears. There were the sounds of collisions, the roars of demonic spirit beasts, and occasionally, some wretched screams from Spirit Masters.
It truly was a rebel period!
Ouranos over their choices for a moment before he decided to have everyone absorb the remaining spirit energy in the area. Normally, they would have to kill countless soul beasts before earning this much spirit energy. Though it would take a while to absorb all of this energy, it was a rare opportunity for them. Ezequiel could help them out in the matter of combat experience, but not in evolving their Heavenly Yio Power. This was the most important goal in entering the spirit ascension platform after all!
A sudden realization dawned on Ouranos. Those with fewer heavenly jewel rings actually have an advantage in the spirit ascension platform. Which meant he and Erenay benifit this the most while the other three also gained spiritual energy but they wouldn't do anything much for them so it's best if you go to spirit ascension platform when you have one heavenly jewel ring!
When Ouranos came to this realization his mind was at stir. If it’s like this, then isn’t being a one-ringed Soul Master the best for the spirit ascension platform? If my spirit soul actually evolves to the thousand-year level, then once I hit rank 20 and get a second heavenly jewel ring, that ring will also be at the thousand-year level. And when I get my third, it will be at the thousand-year level, too! Wouldn’t I save a lot of money like that?
Ouranos’s heart sped up at this discovery, but he soon calmed himself at the thought of the rare situation they were in.
First of all, the spirit ascension platform was strictly monitored by the Heavenly Spirit Pagoda Sect Palace, and they had already calculated the maximum level of spirit soul a one-ringed Soul Master could bear to be a little over four hundred years. Basically, it was impossible for a one-ringed Spirit Master to attain a thousand-year spirit soul. However, the spirit energy they absorbed would be split when they reached rank 20 and gained a second heavenly jewel ring.
One reason was that he coincidentally found himself such a wonderful cultivation environment while the other was that his body was far stronger than normal people’s, allowing him to absorb more spirit energy. These two factors combined to allow him to potentially obtain a thousand-year spirit soul.
Following this line of thinking, his original guess that the academy wanted them all to obtain thousand-year spirit souls was wrong. The others wouldn’t even be able to support two thousand-year soul rings even if they wanted to! At most, they would only be able to absorb enough spirit energy until they reached their current limits.
Everything felt much more clear to him then before he also felt some excitement as well. In the future, as he grew stronger and gained more heavenly jewel rings, it would only grow increasingly harder to evolve his spirit soul. This was the reason why spirit evolution was rarely seen in the spirit ascension platform. Ordinary Spirit Masters with ten-year spirit masters wouldn’t even be lucky enough to enter the spirit ascension platform, and even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to defeat any soul beasts. Those with the means to directly obtain a hundred-year spirit soul wouldn’t opt for such a convoluted method of evolving a ten-year spirit soul either. As for those who wanted to evolve their hundred-year to a thousand-year spirit soul, the vast majority had bodies that were too weak to bear it.
Everything was clear to him now and more importantly, he had found the path he would travel from now on. Others might not be able to evolve their spirit souls, but I can! My body is far stronger than normal, and my spiritual power is high too. Though, I can’t even compare myself to Erenay.
With his current circumstances, he could absorb as much spirit energy as he wanted, until his body reached the saturation point.
He wasn’t clear on the strength of his body after absorbing the power of the Celestial Chaos Deity Golden Dragon God’s first seal, but he knew he was about as strong as an ordinary Spirit Master with three or four rings. With this in mind, he deduced that he would have no problems obtaining a thousand-year spirit soul. After this was over, he planned on having Ezequiel assess him.
Then there was the matter of his spiritual power. The level his spiritual power attained would determine just how much spirit energy he could absorb in the spirit ascension platform.
Now that he had that in mind he felt like he did something that was with out and he understood his body better now all he really need to think about is how to handle that matter with that mysterious egg.
Oh well maybe it would hatch one let's hope soon.
Once teacher told him if he joined a organization he would have more cultivation technique up his sleeves of course Ouranos isn't a fool he needed to understand was going and he knows they are hundreds of organization out there and some of them are just not good. He trusted his teacher but at the same time he was worried about joining a sect they are top thirteen sects that everyone in the whole world knows joining any of them would give you fame and earning.
It seems I should really consider joining it now…
As for talent, my comrades are all far more talented than me. After all, my Resonance Spirit is just Qukin Vine Grass. Ouranos had no way of knowing whether or not his Qukin Vine Grass would continue to mutate as he broke the seals on the Celestial Chaos Deity Golden Dragon God, but a Spirit Master’s resonance spirits and heavenly jewel rings were directly representative of their strength!
Ouranos felt like he was making future plans for himself he needed to become strong enough to protect his friends. He didn't want to be left behind nor did he want to live anyone else behind at all.
