Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 295 Cat Dad’s New Dao Is WHAT?!

Chapter 295 – Cat Dad's New Dao is WHAT?!

After coming out of the dungeon, the party girl team and the war maiden team began working together.

Party Queen teased Fu De enough. She led the yellowish monsters south, walking into the sea and phasing through the seawater as if they were ghosts.

On the other hand, the war maidens crouched and concentrated. A few minutes later, wings emerged from their back, and they started flying. Fu De, who was strongest at night, led the air units and flew south.

While the counterattack campaign was in a full swing, Xiaomao and Jungwoo finally graduated from Mir's crash course part one.

Xiaomao purposely sank his consciousness into his pocket dantian and manually pulled his consciousness to his real body. It still took him 20 minutes to do so, but Xiaomao could now utilize his pocket dantian without Mir's help.

Jungwoo was the same. Although his sparring progress was slower than Xiaomao, he picked up the technique as fast as the cat dad.

Mir nodded at them in satisfaction. She then gave them a new task.

"Alright. Now, let's talk about our primary objective, mew. Remember what I mentioned about kidnapping humans of this world to our dungeon?"

Jungwoo frowned, "Just women and girls? Why can't we bring men to our new sanctuary?"

Mir leered at Xiaomao, "Someone's dungeon automatically gender-swaps all men into women, mew. If we bring them in, they will turn into women anyway, mew."

"Not my fault, munya," Xiaomao shrugged. "It was Chaos Seraphim OS."

"Your FATHER'S Operation System, mew!"

"Yeah, him."

"Anyway," Mir coughed. "Men will have a hard time adapting to the dungeon's environment. How about this? Let's bring all humans to one of the empty islands in the region, and we'll consult with Meowmeow and Cernun later, mew."

"Yes, please!" Jungwoo and Xiaomao happily agreed.

"Good. Then, let's move on to the next training, mew. Just one more course and I'll let you go around on your own and migrate the humans to the game world, mew!"

Xiaomao immediately raised his hand, "Can I go back to my dungeon first and report the others about our situation? I haven't told them about the game updates yet."

"You can tell them later, mew. Our superhero's responsibility comes first! Let's make our presence known, and you can make it easier for Mu-Nyang and Cathulhus to invade Earth, mew!"

Xiaomao narrowed his eyes while Jungwoo raised his brows.

"Invade Earth, what?"

"Oh, haven't I told you, mew? Mu-Nyang and Cathulhus will attack Earth within a year, but we don't want to annihilate all humans. We want to drive Pangu and Solomon away from this planet and restore the balance of the world, mew! After the restructure, we will make this planet a cat's paradise, mew!"

"Cat paradise?" Jungwoo and Xiaomao wryly smiled.

"Small cats are still one of us, mew! Small cats need human slaves to live, and we will help them while we eradicate our foes, mew!"

In short, Cathulhus wanted cats to rule Earth, but cats also needed cat slaves, aka humans, alive.

Xiaomao covered his face with his palms while Jungwoo scratched his head.

The motive was too questionable!

"Fine. I'll protect the cat slaves," Xiaomao gave up thinking. He went with the flow so that he could see Mu-Nyang again.

"Good choice. Let's move, mew! Follow me!"

"Wait, where are we going? Are we going to start now?!"

"Of course not, mew. Before you act, you have to know where the crimes will happen or when Solomon's ghosts will appear! I'll teach you about domains and detection mew!"

"D-Domain?"

.

Mir dragged Jungwoo and Xiaomao to the rooftop of a skyscraper in Seoul. The boys looked at the scenery below in awe.

Despite the freezing weather, both men wore light clothes. None of them was uncomfortable in this weather as their spiritual roots gave them immunity to the extreme temperature.

"Before we start, do you understand anything about constellation domain, mew?" Mir began her lesson right away.

Jungwoo raised his hand and answered like a teacher's pet, "Constellation Domain is the advanced nascent soul domain! Only immortals can use it."

"Half-correct, mew. Domains are indeed immortals' exclusive abilities, but domains and nascent soul domains stem from a cultivator's Dao."

"Dao?" Xiaomao was interested.

"Yes. So far, you've completed the basics of the 4th-stage cultivator. Normally, at the fifth stage, you build a foundation on top of your Life Essence Sea. It can be pillars, platforms, pagodas, houses, castles, altars, or whatever you want to build depending on your cultivation methods, mew. In the era of your father, Dao Pillars were popular, but platforms and pagodas were once mainstream in ancient times, too."

Mir's lecture went on. She explained what a 5th-stage cultivator's new power was.

The next stage added elemental Qi and Dao Seeds into play. Unlike mana and magic, elemental Qi was the purest form of energy, which could only be extracted from the elemental source. For example, Fire Element Qi could be commonly found on the Sun while the ocean's floor was full of Water Element Qi.

Extracting elemental Qi benefited the foundation that they needed to build. At the same time, it became the foundation of their Dao Seeds in the future. Once a cultivator got their hands on a Dao Seed, they could refine their Dao, turning them into an avatar in the 6th stage. After that, it could evolve into a Dao Domain in the 7th-stage.

"Your Dao dictates your future cultivation, mew. Before you focus on one or two elements, you need to decide what kind of Dao you're pursuing. For example, when I was at your stage, I pursued Shadow Element and somehow developed the Dao of Assassination, mew!"

"You what?" Xiaomao was stunned.

Mir smirked and revealed her nails, "When we were together before the outbreak, I could have killed you several times when you were sleeping, mew. Too bad, it was too easy, and I don't like killing my slave, mew!"

"You damn cat! I am your owner, munya! How could you…"

"Anyway," Mir changed the subject. "First element that you pursue is very important. Think carefully before you pick an element because your first Dao Seed is automatically generated depending on your personality and experience mew. Also, you need to know which element is related to do. For example, fire Element is related to divinity, passion, inspiration, and energy. Water represents fertility, life, and corrosion. Wood is strength, protection, and nature. Wind is emotion, speed, and power. Lightning represents punishment, madness, and destruction. Dark is… well, evil, shadow, curses, and demonic things. Light can evolve to holiness, goodness, purity, and heaven. There's more, but you need to research it yourself, mew."

Jungwoo's eyes spun as he didn't know what to choose. On the other hand, Xiaomao picked an element without hesitation.

Catopus was half-cat half-octopus. He was a sea folk, so he could benefit a lot in the sea. With that logic, Xiaomao picked the water element right away.

Xiaomao scooped a handful of snow and stared at it. He tried to feel if he could extract any elemental Qi from the snow.

As Xiaomao focused his senses on the snowball, it dissipated and vanished. However, it left behind a wisp of blue Qi that Xiaomao couldn't control.

Mir praised Xiaomao, "Hey, that's neat for your first try, mew. That's a wisp of water element Qi. Be careful, though. It looks like a Qi strand, but it's stronger than a thousand droplets of Life Essence, mew. Even if you find it, you cannot make it yours so easi-"

WHOOSH

Xiaomao moved by instinct. He shoved the floating strand of water element Qi into his mouth and swallowed it.

"%&#@!"

Mir screamed in panic. She pried Xiaomao's mouth open and tried to pull the element Qi out.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, MEW?! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF?! I HAVEN'T TAUGHT YOU HOW TO CULTIVATE THAT YET!!"

Xiaomao didn't need Mir's explanation or advice as he still remembered the content in Mimir's bible. He used Mimir's method to turn the wisp of water element Qi into the iceberg foundation so that he could convert the water element into the ice element, aka the advanced element after the water.

The wisp of Qi strand quickly entered Xiaomao's pocket dantian. It sank into the Life Essence Sea and instantly transformed into an iceberg. The temperature in that world decreased while a portion of the sea was frozen.

Xiaomao deeply exhaled, breathing out freezing air from his mouth. His skin turned pale white, and his pupils became shining blue.

He closed his eyes and waited for the confirmation message from the game system.

DING

<Congratulation! You have assimilated a strand of Water Element Qi!>

<Your Water Spiritual Roots have increased!>

<Your Water Spiritual Roots have surpassed 100,000!>

<Would you upgrade your Water Spiritual Roots to Water Foundation?>

Xiaomao showed no hesitation. He accepted the offer.

DING

<Your Water Spiritual Roots have become Water Element Foundation!>

<A new spiritual root has been derived from Water Element Foundation – Ice Spiritual Roots!

<All water-related spells and skills have evolved.>

<You can learn more book spells and book skills.>

Everything went according to Xiaomao's plan. But now, there was one factor that Xiaomao couldn't control.

His new Dao Seed…

<Due to your personality, bloodline, and recent experiences, a new Dao Seed has been derived from the Water Element Foundation!>

<You have unlocked Dao Seed of Alpha Male!>

Xiaomao snapped open his eyes and almost fell off the building because of the shock.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS DAO?!"
