While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Chapter 360 - Soul Dungeon

{The host will now have access to two different dungeons and each of the dungeons will be formed using things from reality and the system will no longer be creating the prey that the host hunts. This will make it so that the prey may not hold as much hostility towards the host, but also makes the prey more intelligent, experienced and dangerous. Also, the host doesn't have to worry, all prey will be negative kind or prey that deserves to be hunted because of its actions} stated Ava.

{The Dungeon that the host is currently using, where the host hunts negative kind using the Dungeon Form will be known as the Physical Dungeon and the Dungeon Form is now known as the Physical Dungeon Form. The host no longer has t worry about upgrading the Dungeon Form and that will occur automatically through the system since the host has accepted the system as a guide rather than a tool}

{As for the second Dungeon, it will be known as the Soul Dungeon and within it, the host will face evil or wandering souls that haven't been collected by the death kind or are shackled to the world of the living. Depending on each soul, the longer they aren't collected for and are out of their body, the more they are consumed by negative energy and souls can also feed off negative emotions. Wandering souls would be considered by the host as ghosts, but they can become very powerful and even begin consuming the souls of living people. While Evil Souls are souls that have been cultivated through Evil Soul Cultivation Methods and most that cultivate an Evil Soul Cultivation Method, plan to use it to take over someone else's body} 

[Could it be that the Evil Soul that is trying to take over my aunt's body sees some hidden potential in her body? She did seem to be able to sense that something changed about me each time I broke through, but I don't think it would be worth taking her body for] wondered Adam to himself, but that thought was still removed from his mind and whatever the reason, he would take down the Evil Soul.

[So, I can cultivate my soul by hunting in the Soul Dungeon. I am assuming that the cultivation levels for the soul and physical body are the same, so right now, what is the cultivation level of my soul?] asked Adam.

{Your soul is LVL 3 and just like you assumed, the cultivation levels of the soul are the same as the physical body. Some may have unknowing cultivated their soul slightly and with it may be able to have extraordinary senses or perceptivity, but it is very difficult to do so and unlike physical cultivation, it is much broader. For you, however, the more you hunt, the more powerful your soul becomes}

{But before the host embarks on Soul Cultivation or enters the Soul Dungeon, there are some things that the host must know. Also by embarking on Soul Cultivation, the changes it will have on the host's body will make it so that the host may struggle to recognise himself as a human}

Adam wasn't affected by that in the slightest and although he would prefer if his appearance remained the same, what exactly he was didn't matter.

He would always be a human at heart and even if he wasn't a human, those that he cared about were and he would still protect them with all his power.

{First things first, the host must know about souls, soul cultivation and souls that are outside of the body or do not have a body} said Ava as Adam prepared himself to memorise everything that Ava was about to tell him.

There wasn't much that could shock Adam anymore and with everything he had been told about the universe, being overwhelmed by a revelation was very unlikely as he listened closely to everything that Ava said to him.

{Just like the host can probably guess, souls cannot be harmed by physical attacks and you can think of souls being in a separate space. Just like how Illusion Barriers work, souls are invisible to all, but can see everything that is occurring, however, it is slightly different. Wandering souls, evil souls and other souls with negative intentions or had been consumed by negativity can harm people, inhabit their bodies, give them bad luck or curse them}

{The only way to damage souls is through soul skills and or soul equipment. A piece of Soul Equipment is awakened by soul creatures at birth and depending on the quality of the Soul Equipment along with the type of equipment, they can become a death wraith and work their way up the ladder}

{Death Wraiths usually awaken Soul Equipment like ropes, chains or some sort of equipment that can be used to restrain souls and they are all trained in different techniques to subdue souls. They are also given the secret to moving from the land of the living to the underworld}

{Meanwhile, those with offensive Soul Equipment can also become Death Wraiths and are more likely to become Death Reapers who are sent to use force against souls that manage to escape from or resist against Death Wraiths}

{Soul creatures have their own rankings and in all honesty, even the system cannot provide you much detailed information about their bodies genetics and how exactly they are able to do what they are. They are very secretive and without infiltrating them, one would struggle to find out much about the workings of the underworld}

Hearing that Adam's curiosity was once again peaked and was wondering whether he would be able to contact the Death Wraiths somehow and ask for assistance when dealing with the Evil Soul within his aunt.

However, when he thought about it, he could deal with it himself whatever Soul Equipment or Soul Skills he would be able to acquire.

{One can only awaken a single piece of soul equipment and in some cases, one can integrate with one if they do not naturally awaken it, but the host already has a piece of soul equipment and I think can guess what exactly it is}
