Chapter 912 - Ascendion stage
Chapter 912 – Ascendion stage
Bright shining light radiated from the runes that filled the entire room.
It lit up the otherwise plain gray and dull-looking room, revealing Jason, Jennifer and five beasts.
All of them were fully focused on cultivating, and spending every single second of their time on absorbing their respective cultivation energy in order to strengthen themselves to the peak.
Six fully activated stigmas overlapped each other giving the large room a golden hue as it merged with the calm aura that radiated from Jason.
After cultivating for an entire year, and barely spending a few hours a day practicing the Kanadi of a Primordial technique, Jason was more than ready to merge his soul with his mana core.
And it was not only Jason who was ready.
In fact, all of his soulbonds were ready to enter the Ascendion stage too.
They didn’t need as many droplets of energy as Jason which was quite an advantage, even if he felt that it was weird.
After all, Jennifer had told him that individuals with a higher talent required less droplets of energy to create a thread to connect their vessel to their soul.
However, Jason understood that every race was different.
This also made him realize that his soul world might have played a huge role in the high demand of highly compressed mana droplets.
The soul world of Jason was extremely huge, indicating that his soul was equally big. This also could be the reason that he required more mana droplets to bind the soul world core to his soul.
Despite this assumption, he didn’t really know anything about that for sure.
In the end, Jason didn’t think that it really mattered either because he would require more liquefied mana droplets to completely create the mana thread and merge everything properly, either way.
At least, that was what Jason had read about the information of the merging process of a cultivation vessel and one’s soul.
Nonetheless, there were bound to be differences in every individual.
Thus, he couldn’t help but feel that his accumulated wealth of1.5 million liquefied mana droplets should be more than enough to solve all issues.
Meanwhile, Artemis was far ahead of him and had close to two million mana droplets which Jason only noticed much later.
Rather than instantaneously advancing to the Ascendion stage, Artemis seemed to have waited for him to finish his preparations.
Other than that, his remaining soulbonds had accumulated over one million liquefied energy droplets in total. And, he believed it was more than enough for them to initiate the merging process.
WIth that in mind, it was a great feeling to find out that five beings would enter the Ascendion stage at the exact same time.
Only Sira and Jennifer wouldn’t enter the Ascendion stage as Sira didn’t cultivate like a normal beast, while Jenifer had already entered the Ascendion stage long before the others.
Yet, instead of focusing on advancing her cultivation base, Jennifer had chosen a completely different way.
After solidifying her cultivation, she practiced the Kanadi of a Primordial technique three to four times a day.
Every single session required four to five hours of her time, but that was not something that bothered her.
Rather, Jennifer knew that the technique allowed her entire being to be refined slowly.
This was even clearer after repeating the same process over and over again for an entire year.
Only when Jason had announced that he and his soulbonds would enter the Ascendion stage soon, did Jennifer start cultivating again.
Jennifer couldn’t help but feel overjoyed upon witnessing the difference in her cultivation talent after having cultivated the Kanadi of a Primordial technique far more than 1000 times.
She had known that it was useful but only now did she,, clearly understand the potency of the technique.
‘Even if someone is extremely untalented, practicing with that technique for a few years would transform everyone into an entire new being…with unparalleled talent…’
Initially, when Jason had announced that he chose a gradeless technique over a Sun-ranked technique, Jennifer had felt like calling Jason a cute idiot.
However, her opinion about the gradeless technique had now changed for the better.
Yet, Jennifer couldn’t help but make a face at Jason lovingly, knowing that he had already figured out the exceptional worth of the technique!
Nonetheless, she knew that her cultivation had to advance a little in the future as her body was currently overflowing with nutrition.
Having refined her entire being for an entire year was already the limit Jennifer could barely cope with.
Now, she had to allow her entire being to recuperate from the constant strain.
This was essential, and cultivating allowed her to do that.
Most beings would say that cultivating took a toll on their body, but there were more than enough other beings who believed the exact opposite.
Allowing raw energy through one’s body that would be annexed only moments later was refreshing for Jennifer, and Jason’s feeling was not different.
Yet, Jason was currently not cultivating with normal means.
Instead, he was using the Divine Maestro technique that was quite different to normal cultivation techniques.
The circulation of the 20 different streams of raw mana was certainly not easy and by no means something that soothed the pain of a strained body.
Rather, it was the complete opposite and only strained it slightly, without harming it in any way.
This was exceptional as there was no downside of cultivating the technique for several years in a row.
On the contrary, the slight strain would allow Jason’s body to become stronger, which was exactly what was supposed to happen by cultivating with the technique.
Nevertheless, right now, the situation was different, and Jason stopped cultivating the Divine Maestro technique altogether.
Instead, he was slowly forming a thread of mana droplets and was using every single of the more than 1.5 million highly compressed drops he had accumulated over the course of time.
Meanwhile, his soulbonds were doing the same with their respective cultivation energy.
As all of them were fully focused on their tasks at hand, the entire room was eerily silent, while tremendous tidal waves of energy were slowly beginning to flood the room.
With all six Stigmas fully activated, the Celestia aura was fully unleashed.
And, when Jason’s divine energy was exposed to his entire body, the room began to shake.
Simultaneously, the bright shining runes within the room began to glimmer, turning even brighter as the presence around Jason seemed to change.
This forced Jennifer out of her focused state of cultivation as she sensed that something huge was about to happen to Jason.
‘Huh? I thought he had just started to form his mana thread…how come it looks like he is already about to connect his soul and mana core together?!’
Confused about the changes in the atmosphere and surroundings, Jennifer was utterly baffled.
However, what she didn’t know was that Jason was proficient in using threads of his soul world core and that he could easily lead it through his body.
As such, bringing the two threads together didn’t take long for him.
Yet, what took longer than expected was to adjust the length of the threads to each other in order to connect them properly.
It took them quite some time, but once Jason sensed how the first little strands were connecting to each other, the rest of the process became easier.
After getting a hang of the situation, everything went by much smoother.
Meanwhile, Jason’s talent in controlling mana and his soul core was clearly visible as the entire process progressed without any hiccups.
Thus, once the thread of his soul and mana were connected, he only had to pull his soul world core and mana core together, allowing them to merge slowly.
Yet, that was something that took time, and couldn’t be rushed.
Thus, instead of rushing hastily, Jason forced himself to stay calm as he began to advance to the Ascendion stage at a slow pace.
Having taken the first step to the Ascendion stage felt great, and unbeknownst to himself, Jason was smiling brightly, knowing that great things awaited him!
