God's Eyes

"Cultivating life force and strengthening one's cells with mana as a substitute for primordial energy….?"

Jason felt overwhelmed with the information he had yet to process, and his mind had begun churning theories he couldn't comprehend right now.

The human race had been able to awaken two different kinds of soul worlds so far, namely physical and elemental soul worlds.

Thus, Jason came to the theory that the path of primordial energy might have something to do with the physical soul world.

However, his theory that physically attributed beasts on Argos were cultivating their life force and cells with mana as a substitute for the lacking primordial energy was a little over the top.

Despite that, the more he thought about it, the more his theory made sense to him.

His knowledge was still not vast in comparison to most other foreign races, but Jason wanted to work hard to change this as fast as possible.

There were many things that interested him, and one new thing that piqued his curiosity was the question as to why the human race had two possible soul worlds, and not one, or in fact three.

In the end, there were three possible cultivation paths, and if the physical soul world was correlated to the path of primordial energy, there had to be another one for the path of spiritual force!

Jason's head was aching a lot, and he decided to find a library instead of wasting his time eavesdropping on others.

Since Petri had evolved, which seemed to have changed his cultivation veins, the strength he could exhibit was entirely different compared to before.

It was as if Petri's cells and life force were more vigorous than before.

'Could this mean that physically attributed beasts convert mana into primordial energy but with a reduced efficiency??'

For this scenario, Jason had developed many theories too, but spending time in a library to figure out more was what he was supposed to do.

However, when he entered the Janur's library, which was a huge building complex with handwritten books, Jason couldn't help but frown.

The librarian asked him to pay upfront if he wanted to stay in the library, only for Jason to realize that he didn't have any mana stones to pay with.

Artemis had eaten all of them.

"Can I pay with weapons or the body refinement manuals of other races?" He thus asked simply.

The librarian from the Hran race, that was in fact a human-like race with pitch-black arms that had golden vein-like strands spreading through them, looked at him almost disgusted as he scowled,

"I don't care what race you are, but don't be under the impression that you will receive a special service. Entering the library once will cost you 10 Prismar mana stones, or 1 Prismar pryr stone. We don't accept spirit stones, so don't even try!"

Jason could only stare at the librarian, who was a head taller than he was, in astonishment as he mumbled,

"Pryr stone...is that a stone filled with primordial energy? And spirit stones should be filled with spiritual force...I see! INTERESTING!"

His eyes were gleaming in interest, and Jason simply ignored the librarian's rude behavior as he turned around to rush off.

There was no need to offend anyone by throwing a tantrum. Instead, Jason thought that the librarian was indiscriminately rude or rather direct to everyone he met.

As such, he was able to remain calm as excitement spread through his entire body.

Jason's knowledge about the three existing main paths of cultivation might be shallow, or almost non-existent, but his desire to quench his thirst for knowledge was almost impossible once it had been awoken.

He wanted to find out everything, and the gigantic library was his way to do so!

Spending time reading books might be uninteresting for others, but this was Jason's forte!

Reading for days, weeks, or even months was no problem for him, as long as the knowledge he would receive was interesting and could be properly used!

In the end, no information could be labeled as entirely useless, and Jason never knew when something deemed worthless might save his neck in a sticky situation!

Thus, he rushed towards a weapon workshop, trying to sell some weapons he had gathered from burglars that had tried to overwhelm him, thinking that he belonged to a grand race and wanted to gain experience by entering the planet Argos, which was said to be at the infant-phase.

Other than that, he had many more weapons, which he had received in return to his contribution during the Great Argos war.

As such, selling them for mana or pryr stones at the Prismar stage wouldn't be much of a problem.

Jason was not really interested in the mana stones, because he wouldn't be able to cultivate with them for the time being.

Meanwhile, Artemis was not able to touch a single mana stone for the time being owing to her earlier greed that had caused her to be extremely exhausted.

Only Petri could advance if he had the required energy to cultivate! Thus, after selling a huge bulk of weapons at the Lique stage and some that were at the Prismar stage, he was able to retrieve several dozen Prismar stage pryr stones.

They were 10 times more expensive than mana stones due to the scarcity of world bridges connecting to planes that had reserves of pryr stones and naturally generated primordial energy.

When Jason received the stones from a bulky bipedal blacksmith that looked like a crimson-colored boar, he could immediately tell the vast difference between the mana stones and pryr stones.

His Emperor Eyes were able to perceive everything about the primordial energy residing inside the pryr stones, which astonished Jason for a short moment, only to calm down after a few seconds.

Because of the Celestia bloodline within him, Jason wouldn't be overly shocked if he were suddenly able to cultivate with all three kinds of energies.

After thinking about this for a while he felt that it was highly likely too! The Celestia race was deemed as overly powerful after all!

Thus, owing to the fact that his Emperor Eyes were possibly enhanced, or a mutated version of the eyes his mother had due to his bloodline, he shouldn't have been as astonished about his ability to see the flow of primordial energy as he was.

Shaking his head, Jason simply rushed back to the librarian whom he handed one of the Prismar stage pryr stones before he entered the library.

Once entered, he could stay inside as long as he wanted, and only by leaving the library would his access permission be null and void.

This was great for Jason, but instead of shouting out in joy, he decided to observe and study the pryr stone in his hand.

"It's like the Ascron's life force Solaris devoured from within the Ifry's body!"

The Ifrytor race and Ifrys didn't have a high physical advancement, but the Creato flame had been able to devour the Ascron's life force!

With that being said, the Creato flame was created through the combination of both life force and mana, which was initiating the process of its growth according to the manual Jason had read once.

Taking out the Creato hellflame manual once again, he skimmed through it and found the solution to one of his theories.

"So...in order to adjust to their environment some physically attributed races and beasts learned how to convert mana into primordial energy which allows them to nurture their life force and cells."

Other than that, there was also the possibility of awakening two cultivation veins at once, but such beasts and races were extremely rare and mostly seen as superior.

An ordinary race wouldn't have that ability, and only mutations or those who evolved over hundreds, if not thousands of generations were able to achieve that.

When Jason thought about the answer he had figured out, everything made more sense than it did before.

Most physically attributed beasts used mana to cultivate in the path of primordial energy, which reduced the potency of the entire cultivation process.

This was also why Petri had expelled his mana veins that were in fact not awakened and had only been utilized in order to absorb mana to convert it into primordial energy before.

The mana core and liquefied mana were a byproduct of this process, and decreased the pace at which every physically attributed beast could advance!

It was possible for them to utilize mana, but the use of it was minuscule in comparison to cultivating with primordial energy that nurtured their life force and every single cell in their body.

After Jason tried to make sense of everything, he tried to control the primordial energy and absorb it, but realised that his body was heating up at a rapid pace.

By forcefully leading the primordial energy out of one of the pryr stones he had received, Jason circulated it through his cultivation vein that was heating up.

It hurt a little, which mainly stemmed from the unknown energy invading an area that had been solely used by mana up until now.

At that moment, he noticed that his assumption had been correct, and he would be able to cultivate in the path of primordial energy too.

However, all of a sudden, the primordial energy Jason had circulated through his body was churning up, wreaking havoc in his one and only cultivation vein!
