Chapter 872 - Settlement
Chapter 872 – Settlement
In the month they had spent to increase the distance between the pursuers and themselves, Jennifer and Jason hadn't slept much.
Fortunately, this was not a big problem anymore, and once they were to enter the Ascendion stage, they wouldn't need to sleep at all.
This was, at least what Jason had heard, and seeing how fit Jennifer was by barely having entered the Ascendion stage, he couldn't help but feel that it was most likely to be the truth.
In the end, this was great, but at the same time quite disadvantageous, because every single human who pursued them was most likely also at the Ascendion stage.
Nevertheless, Jason was not worried about them being found because the fight between powerful beasts could take minutes, hours, or possibly even days.
Additionally, the borders separating two territories were relatively small, and not even a handful of people could fly next to each other.
The danger would further intensify when one of the beasts that reigned the territory would feel its land being threatened.
Thus, they had to be careful about what they were doing in order to prevent being killed themselves.
With that in mind, they continued to fly at their highest speed while partially ignoring some territories that evidently belonged to weaker beasts.
Skirting through their borders, they changed their direction slightly.
Because of that, they shouldn't be found out in the next few months.
This would be more than enough for him and his soulbonds to become much stronger.
It would hopefully be to the extent that Mid Ascendion stage Cultivators wouldn't pose a threat to him and Jennifer anymore.
Unfortunately, this was easier said than done, and it would take longer than a year for him to reach that threshold.
After all, it required at least 3 million drops of liquefied mana in order to establish an extremely powerful thread that connected his soul to the vessel he cultivated.
To be precise, even if he were to cultivate for five years with his current absorption rate, he wouldn't reach the three million mana drops.
This confused Jason greatly, which caused him to ask Jennifer about the issue he was facing.
In the end, she had three vessels that were already forming their connection to her soul.
As such, she must have liquefied three million drops of each cultivation energy, or there was something else he had forgotten about.
"You want to liquefy three million drops of mana and establish a complete connection between your soul and your mana core from the beginning…are you insane?"
Being called 'insane' was something he hadn't heard for a long time.
But upon seeing Jennifer's expression in addition to hearing her words, Jason couldn't help but smile foolishly.
"So…I can start creating the connection between my mana core and soul earlier?"
Right now he felt as foolish as his smile was, but fortunately enough, Jennifer noticed that he was asking her in all seriousness.
This caused her to be even more dumbfounded than just a moment ago as she blurted out,
"You can always start forming the mana thread before testing it. You can form a connection between the mana core's mana thread and the soul world core's soul thread.
In some cases, this is possible after only 100,000 mana droplets have been used to form a drop.
While in other cases, you need more than one million mana droplets to achieve the same result.
I don't know if that has to do with the innate talent of someone or not, but I required around one million droplets each in order to connect my threads to my soul.
Apparently, that is already considered to be quite early. But even then it took me two more years to establish a proper connection to be able to break through the barriers of the Ascendion stage.
If you have a few hundred thousand mana droplets, just give it a try. Your mana droplets are stronger than that of others, to begin with. Hence, I think you might even be able to form a shallow connection with your soul right off the bat!"
For the first time in what felt like an eternity to him, Jennifer felt that she was extremely useful.
It was a rare case when she knew something Jason had been oblivious to.
As such, she puffed her chest, flinging her hair back, and blowing air on her nails to show a proud expression to Jason.
He found her behavior amusing and could only smile at her.
During the last month, Jennifer had begun to act a little bit more childish and playful around him.
However, that was not something Jason would complain about because he felt that she was adorable.
Lovingly patting her hair, he thanked Jennifer before his attention diverted to the information she had shared.
Thus, his hand was moving slower, and Jennifer, who had hoped for more appreciation as a reward, couldn't help but pout.
Yet, it was only a minute later that she was confused about her own behavior.
'Am I just demanding too much, or is he just too slow? It's him…right?!'
Taking his hand that had stopped patting her, she just pulled him further ahead alongwith herself, trying to ignore her intent to shout at him for being so slow-witted.
Instead of shouting, she was able to control herself.
This allowed Jennifer to continue approaching the direction in which Jason had perceived thousands of faint traces of mana fluctuations.
Under normal circumstances, this could mean that there were beasts, but Jason was already able to differentiate mana fluctuations with incredible precision.
And that was the case even if their distance was more than ten kilometers from the position of the mana fluctuations.
With that in mind, Jennifer ignored her slight frustration as she pulled Jason towards the settlement that swam into her view shortly after.
Pinching Jason to take a small, but satisfying revenge, Jennifer forced him out of his train of thoughts.
He was busy telling Solaris and Artemis about what he had just gotten to know.
Following that, both his soulbonds that had already accumulated several hundred thousand mana droplets were attempting to build a connection between their soul and vessel.
Only when Jennifer pinched him did he regain his senses, and his conscience leaving the soul world.
Before leaving he also noticed that Petri and Spyro were also about to enter the Peak of the Prismar stage.
As such, each of his soulbond was already considered to be extremely powerful, but unfortunately, that was not enough yet.
Somehow, Jason felt as if his time was running out since he had left the Dungeon of the Primordial Descendant.
That was mostly the case owing to the opponents he fought, and the rewards he could have chosen from.
The rewards he could have picked were certainly grand and what a cultivator dreamt of. But, there were more things he needed than the stuff he didn't need.
Their grading was extremely high too, and realization had struck him about the possible strength the Primordial races might have attained.
After all, Jason was sure that the treasury he had entered was only something that had been customized to his current strength!
In the end, this was not something Jason could be sure about. But he was relatively confident in his assumption that the treasury had been customized for his sake.
This was because it had focused on both of his bloodlines, the things he required to do literally everything he had in mind, and so on.
There were even things he might require without having thought about it.
Even the seemingly useless things had a specific purpose which Jason only figured out when he had already left the dungeon.
With that in mind, he knew that he had yet to see the true power of the Primordial races, which was a little intimidating.
And in order to counter them, Jason needed to find something that might help him to become much stronger in a short time. And, the true soul awakening was exactly what this was!
The only issue was to find the necessary items for both of his bloodlines so that they could undergo their true soul awakening. Yet, this was much more difficult than he initially assumed.
However, oddly enough, Jason was confident that the ginormous settlement in front of them was exactly the place they had been looking for, with everything they needed inside!
