Corrupt Creations - Chapter 335

“How did you get this thing?” Seth was surprised after what he had seen.

“With the purple Skystone energy, I was able to recover a bit of my knowledge and write that information down. What do you think? Actually, you should at least try reading until the end, since it contains some information on what to do after transforming your soul to the third stage. Unfortunately, that piece of information are just some fragmented hints that I was able to recall, but they might help you when you get there.”

“I’ll carefully read everything, since I’m very interested in that topic as well.”

“That’s good. Make sure to test if that soul cultivation manual works and find us some testing subjects for those soul techniques. I want to see the extent of my own powers when not using your energy source as a mediator.”

“Alright.”

Lexi returned to her treasured spot and Seth decided to thoroughly read the soul cultivation manual stored inside that light purple crystal. To help Seth, Lexi had even created it in the form of a skillbook, since she knew it would be easier for him to share it that way.

While reading the contents of that skillbook, Seth realized that his soul cultivation level had finally been rated. Lexi had found a way to rate it.

Normal human or beasts were actually considered as non-soul-cultivators according to the information he read. As the internal energy of an individual increased, his soul would inevitably become stronger as well, but the speed with which those two cultivation systems grew, was totally different.

While cultivating your internal energy took hundreds of years from the initial step to the end of the mortal road, cultivating the soul could actually take thousands of years. And the real motive behind that, was the fact that resources for cultivating the soul were really scarce for human beings, devils and elves.

The main resource for enhancing your soul, was the energy Lexi loved the most. Spiritual Energy. However, it was an energy that none of those species were compatible with and even though it could be found in certain places, it couldn’t be absorbed.

When Seth was thinking how he would proceed with things, he suddenly realized that the most difficult and problematic thing, would mean nothing for him at all. Together with Lexi, he had already developed a cultivation technique that could absorb the Spiritual Energy. They would just need to modify it a bit and allow it to envelop the soul cultivation concept, before he gave it to his women.

“So, before testing anything, I need to make sure these techniques are all compatible with anyone. And to be certain of that, I’ll need to study them a bit more.”

Seth once again started a study session, where he was checking and modifying a few things to make those techniques simpler. While using his experiences and knowledge, he was able to adapt those techniques for the people he would share them with. But his task was actually not that difficult, since Lexi had already done a pretty good job when creating that skillbook and the concept behind it.

But to make sure everything was in order; he read and studied every single part of that technique.

By doing that, Seth was able to understand what Lexi meant by third stage of his soul cultivation.

The soul cultivation manual Lexi gave him, explained the concept of what was a soul and how to properly develop it. There were also writings about the stages of a Mortal Soul and that included the first, second and third stage.

Basically, every single person was already in the range of that first stage, even the non-soul-cultivators, since it included everyone. To reach the second stage though, an individual would have to form his own Soul Space and his own Soul Essence.

So, every single person that didn’t have a Soul Space and didn’t have the Soul Essence properly developed as well, was inside the First-stage Mortal Soul.

To properly form a Soul Space and Soul Essence, a lot of Spiritual Energy was required, together with a strong base of cultivation. That’s why the stronger the cultivator was, the closest that individual was of reaching the Second-stage Mortal Soul. The only thing denying them from reaching that threshold, was the Spiritual Energy they had no way of handling. But that’s where Lexi and Seth’s technique would come into place.

Ancient godly techniques like the Hades Manual, could actually gather and transform Spiritual Energy to Soul Essence on its own, but there were a lot of downsides. One of them being the fact that only pure Devils could properly build that technique. Another downside, was the fact that to learn it, you would have to put up with the discomfort and pain of converting the incompatible Spiritual Energy.

Inside the skillbook Lexi gave him, there were inscriptions telling how to form the Soul Space and Soul Essence using Spiritual Energy, Qi or Mana, and memories together. All of that, was already perfectly tied together with the Spiritual Energy absorption technique they possessed.

After reading up to that part, Seth already knew how he could properly guide his woman to that point with ease, so he decided to keep reading the rest.

After reaching the Second-stage Mortal Soul, a cultivator would be filled with Soul Essence and he or she, would be able to activate a technique called Soul Sense. That technique would work as a scan, that could show to that individual, how the world really was, through the lens of a soul. But when Seth read that the average range of a scan would be from fifty to a hundred meters, he got shocked.

Seth felt his soul cultivation was labeled as a Second-Stage Mortal Soul, since he could recognize and relate to many of the things written in that skillbook. However, since the first time he used his Soul Sense, he was already able to expand it to a ten-kilometer radius. Right now, he felt he could even push through his limits and try scanning a twenty thousand meters area.. So, for him, that information didn’t make sense.
