Spirit Soul

Two weeks passed since the chubby merchant had been killed.

In these two weeks, Kyle collected more than 100,000 souls at the Krysal stage. Using the souls, he nourished the Prym cultivation path of both Selene and Jaden.

Other than strengthening their Prym cultivation veins, Kyle also nourished various development paths of Arashi.

Through the constant nourishment, Arashi advanced to the Krysal stage. This was several times faster than Kyle predicted. However, it was more than necessary because Arashi would soon reach maturity. His growth spurts had slowed down as well, and it was only a matter of time before Kyle would have to focus on nourishing one of the many evolution paths Arashi had.

However, Arashi was not the only one, who received many benefits from the nourishment Kyle provided. Jaden reached the Mid Vitae stage within two weeks, despite fighting and traveling for several hours every day.

He received many cultivation resources, and his Prym cultivation vein had been strengthened. This was more than enough for Jaden to become stronger, much faster than he expected.

It was a great feeling to sense that his strength increased, even more so, when he cultivated the moment Kyle finished nourishing his cultivation vein.

At first, he didn't notice that there was much of a difference, but whenever Kyle nourished a cultivation path, their cultivation speed would be boosted for several hours. Sometimes, the cultivation boost would even last an entire day.

This was exceptional and an extremely helpful stimulation.

However, it was also something that their group desperately needed to become stronger. Most of them were young, and they were said to have all the time in the world, but that was just something people said. It was not actually the truth.

Time was ticking, and they would never be able to survive inside the forbidden forest if they were to become lazy.

The more ambitious they were the better it would be for everyone involved in their group.

Everyone was working hard, and the number of beast corpses they had accumulated in their spatial rings was already worth a tremendous fortune. However, they didn't bother to enter a city to sell the corpses of the beasts they killed.

It was a waste of time because they didn't need anymore cultivation resources, or anything else. Even procuring information was currently uninteresting because they were already so deep inside the Glacia kingdom that the Thunderclaw kingdom would have to declare to send their armies after them.

This was unlikely to happen, and it was more likely for a meteorite to smash into the ground right in front of them, or that the Queen of the Lahin kingdom made trouble due to the death of the duke's son.

If something big were to happen, Kyle and the others would find out about it. That was something they were pretty sure.

However, instead of being too focused on anything else, they focused on cultivating, hunting beasts, and increasing their knowledge.

Other than the possibility to create wings, the Wings of Ilusia technique increased their movement speed as well. Several types of movement techniques were precisely described in the Wings of Ilusia manual.

They had different types of difficulties and requirements. The others read them with interest, even Jaden. After all, there was one movement technique in the Wings of Ilusia manual that allowed those with Primordial Energy and those with Spiritual force to learn a movement technique as well.

This was quite advantageous for Jaden, who sucked dry the information like a sponge.

He wanted to know every single detail about that movement technique, in the hope that he may even be able to fly side by side with Kyle and the others without needing Arashi to help them.

At first, they didn't think this was important, but when Kyle revealed that Arashi would probably evolve soon, Jaden's slow movement speed was not something they could ignore.

"Entering the Nasga race's tribal territory with Jaden's movement speed it not really the smartest move, is it?" Selene asked, frowning deeply.

"Nope, it's definitely not if we want to stay alive until and after we want to enter the forbidden forest," Yasmine answered, feeling a bit bothered.

It was dangerous to enter any region related to the Nasga race with beautiful women. Only when they were strong enough to defeat the lustful Nasga with all their might, or with help would it be fine to enter such dangerous places.

Simultaneously, as long as they could fly, it would be fine to be inside the Nasga race's tribal territory. They couldn't fly, which one could exploit by using the Wings of Ilusia. However, with Jaden by their side, they would either have to separate or stay near each other, provoking them to get attacked.

"Yeah, our girls are too beautiful, that's too dangerous. I guess we should enter one of the border cities once Arashi starts to cultivate. Maybe we should focus on collecting more information about the forbidden forest, the area that is marked on the dragonscale map, and we might as well return our focus on our lifestyle occupations.

We have no idea what we will find at the marked area of the dragonscale map. Maybe it's nothing special. If that's the case, we cannot just return to our lifestyle occupations after not practicing them for several months.

Lifestyle occupations are great to earn money, to make sure that we can make our own goods, knowing that they were made with our best efforts, and it releases lots of stress!" Kyle felt like a scholar to everyone present. It was almost as if he was trying to lecture them about the given situation.

However, everyone knew what was going on, so they could only smile faintly. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

But instead of paying attention to the other's behavior, Kyle took a look in the back.

'She disappeared again? Well, as long as she doesn't bother us in any way…' Kyle thought, feeling complicated about something he had seen before

His Nurture ability sight's range increased the more energy Kyle supplied to it.

Thus, when he used the energy of thousands of Krysal stage souls one after another, Kyle had been able to see something a few days ago that interested him a lot.

The most terrifying hues of development of an existence had appeared in his view on that day. He felt nausea at the sight of the hues and vomited for almost an entire hour.

The others had still no idea what happened to Kyle on that day but the fear in his eyes had been apparent. His entire body had been shaking and it was obvious that something happened to him.

Kyle didn't want to speak about it, which told the girls and Jaden that it was not necessary for them to find out.

If it was something important they had to know, Kyle would have shared it. However, even after several days had passed Kyle didn't say anything.

'No she didn't disappear, she is still there,' Kyle realized using some more souls to activate the Nurture ability.

The sight of the terrifying hues of development was something he couldn't fathom. If Beatrice's hues of development were already extremely powerful, leagues above the average of the prodigies all over the Shallivra valley, she was still only a drop in the ocean that resembled the power of the woman, who followed them.

If she wanted to kill them, she could do so from a distance of hundreds of kilometers. This would be extremely easy for her.

However, instead of doing anything like that, she followed them at the extremely slow pace Kyle and the others were moving.

Their pursuer was definitely far from an ordinary existence, and Kyle had no idea what her reason could be.

'Why is she following us? If she has any questions, she could ask. If she doesn't like us, she could kill us. But what she is currently doing is a simple observation, which is equal to her wasting her time.

Don't powerful Cultivators have better things to do?' Kyle was a bit bothered. However, there was something odd about the woman who followed them. She was far from ordinary.

After all, he couldn't sense that she had any of the three cultivation veins!
