Chapter 118 - Soul Cultivation
-----
After everything was done, I quickly moved inside my Inner World with my great loot. We were about to save the city but that could wait a bit longer, I had already told Gaia that I wasn't in a hurry and would assess my gains whenever I got enough. I also needed to change Jobs already so I could use the stockpiled EXP.
I brought with me all the spaceships, which I saved inside my Inventory, alongside the last living member of the aliens, which we healed completely and put to sleep.
We were about to brainwash this guy and make him spit every single piece of information he got about his race, and after that, I don't know, maybe we'll make him into a slave or something, just to make him suffer even more instead of giving him the sweet release of death.
I also decided to try out these aliens, whose meat looked like an octopus, so Kireina and the rest went to butcher them and wash them for the moment, while I moved into raising the other pile of Aliens that were left into Undead.
Of course, I had also caught up their souls, some of them, although I didn't know which soul belonged to which body, so I just put them in each body randomly.
They seemed dull and not as energetically angry as they sounded before, and most seemed to have become as retarded as zombies could get. Perhaps it is just as I thought and it would be better to just make the one that still living to spit the information, it will be a pain to deal with this stupid undead.
I had also begun to taste souls, eating them, or so. It wasn't so bad, and after eating a bunch of these aliens (there were hundreds in every ship), I seemed to have received a mild enhancement in my soul. Perhaps devouring souls is the way to enhance your soul power.
Ding!
[You learned the [Soul Eating (A)] Skill!]
And out of nowhere, I got a new Skill after finally trying out eating souls. I had eaten all sorts of monster meat and their body parts but never got any Skill from it. However, by eating souls, I did get the Soul Eating Skill.
I remember that Wisp had it, and it helped in the digestion of souls, and also on fusing devoured souls into one's body, but it was better to check the info myself.
…
[Soul Eating (A)]
Grants the user the ability to devour souls and assimilate them into the user's soul through soul digestion. By absorbing a soul there is a chance to gain their memories and part of their original power. Devouring and assimilating a soul also grants the power to strengthen one's soul cultivation.
…
Soul Cultivation? Well, that's nice. Although I barely got any glimpses of info from the souls of these monsters, I do know that they come from another world, are named Slarkobs, and seem to lack any kind of magic power.
"Guardian, it seems that a new function has been unlocked after you digested enough souls…" said Gaia.
"Is it? Show it to me," I said.
"Very well…"
Ding!
[Soul Cultivation has been unlocked]
[Soul Cultivation]
A Transcendental type of cultivation that exists in every world, you have unlocked its functions by strengthening your soul density.

Soul Cultivation has several Realms.
Soul Energy Gathering Realm.

Soul Core Nourishment Realm.
Soul Energy Refinement Realm.
Soul Core Enlargement Realm.
Spiritual Soul Realm.
Spiritual Soul Core Realm.
Nascent Soul Realm.
Divine Soul Core Creation Realm.
Divine Soul Realm.
And many more…
…
Interesting, it is divided in between Realms, similarly to Beast Orb? Hmm…
[Starting the adjustment of your soul into Soul Cultivation Realms…]
[Refining soul…]
Wait, refining?
FLASH!
And then, out of nowhere, I felt a sudden burst of new power rushing into my soul, as it began to be refined.
It felt as if my soul was being washed away by some very cold water, while it was being cleansed of its impurities. It was… something amazing.
My soul flowed out of my body like a river, as I glanced as I soared through the Soul Cultivation Realms…
Ding!
[Your Soul Cultivation has reached the [Soul Energy Gathering Realm]!]
Ah, there it is…
However, it didn't stop here, as my soul continued to be refined and evolved through these soul energies…! Within the soul itself, the core of the Flare Sorcerer that resided there, which was a mass of fire attribute mana, began to fuse with the energy and residual essence of the soul, beginning to… crystalize into something!
FLASH!
Suddenly, a beautiful and red-yellow-colored orb emerged in the middle of my soul…!
Ding!
[Your Soul Cultivation has reached the [Soul Core Creation Realm]!]
Soul Core Creation! So this is it… By gathering energy into your soul and materializing it, you acquire a Soul Core, something that enhances your soul power even more…
But this wasn't over yet, I felt that my Soul Core was being constantly nourished by my own soul several times, rotating around while also growing in strength through its refinement and enlargement…!
Ding!
[Your Soul Cultivation has reached the [Soul Core Nourishment Realm]!]
Ding!
[Your Soul Cultivation has reached the [Soul Energy Refinement Realm]!]
Ding!
[Your Soul Cultivation has reached the [Soul Core Enlargement Realm]!]
And just like that, I soared through three Realms at once! Talk about speedrunning…
But, as I had said previously, it wasn't over…
My soul began to glow with some hint of divinity, overflowing through everything and becoming even more "real" as if it were becoming solid… Yet it also flowed with a sparkling yellow essence.
Ding!
[Your Soul Cultivation has reached the [Spiritual Soul Realm]!]
Ding!
[Your Soul Cultivation has reached the [Spiritual Soul Core Realm]!]
Ding!
[Your Soul Cultivation has reached the [Nascent Soul Realm]!]
My Soul Core was enhanced into a Spiritual Soul Core, and then my soul became a Nascent Soul. It really felt as if it was born anew…!
