God's Eyes

Several days had passed since the attack of the Soul Monarch's Guard, and not much had changed.

After Jason had ordered the young soldier of the Yinar race to use the portal to report the infiltration of untraceable wandering souls, they were killed in no time.

They had killed hundreds of low-ranked Cultivators, innocent citizens that had never fought in their entire life, only to be mercilessly slaughtered as well.

It might be frustrating to see innocent people needlessly die, but without Jason's warning, everything would have gotten even worse.

As such, many people were thankful to him, including the City Lord, who was happy that he was not the only one who had actively fought against the guard and the invisible opponents to protect Liun, and his race.

The City Lord was still irked by the fact that the other powerhouses hadn't given their all to fight, and possibly kill the Soul Monarch's Guard.

However, he clearly understood that it might be deemed as a wasted effort or even dangerous to exhaust oneself.

Once exhaustion would overwhelm someone, it didn't take anything else for them to die, which was most likely what the other powerhouses thought.

It made them fight as if they were sparring and they had focussed on exhausting the guard.

This was ridiculous in the City Lord's opinion, but it was not like he could say much about the powerhouses' behavior.

After all, they had come to Liun to help if something were to happen, and nothing serious had happened.

The city was still standing and had not fallen. Furthermore, in Liun nobody died except the wandering souls that had infiltrated the city easily.

As such, the City Lord remained quiet and refrained from commenting on the incident.

Rather than speaking out his thoughts, he showed his opinion in actions.

Sending Jason a few more Soa crystals as a means of gratitude and trust, the City Lord made his stance clear.

Meanwhile, the other powerhouses didn't receive any kind of gift, let alone a reward from the City Lord.

This seemed to irk them, but it was not like they were obliged to receive any kind of gift from the city itself.

Instead, their federation would pay them for their services and time which they had spent in Liun as they had been sent out to fight with their life on the line.

As such, they received more than enough for the little things they truly did for the city.

Meanwhile, Jason had been overjoyed about the fact that he received a bunch of Soa crystals.

Initially, he only had one crystal, which didn't help him a lot to figure how many Soa crystals he required for the Agran bloodline's true Soul awakening.

However, now that he had received a bunch of them, Jason could make a rough measurement by using his gut feeling to determine how many Soa crystals he required.

While a single Soa crystal felt like a single drop of water in a paper cup, the bunch of Soa crystals were already enough to fill the base of the cup with water.

This was the feeling Jason got, meaning that he already had a fraction of what he truly required.

'If I don't want to waste too much time in procuring Soa crystals, the only other ways are to complete suicidal Tier-4 missions or to search for Soa crystals in the open lands!'

In the end, Jason had many things to do, and it was not exactly his plan to spend several years procuring only one of many ingredients he required for his True Soul awakening.

Considering, that he had no idea what other ingredients he needed, Jason was already uncomfortable with the thought of spending even one more year to find just one more ingredient.

For him a year was very long, while it was negligible, and almost nothing to the majority of Cultivators.

Unfortunately, Jason didn't think like that!

This was mostly owing to his personality that was more on the impatient side.

Sometimes, Jason knew how to be patient, and to act according to the mindset most Cultivators had about age.

However, that was not the case right now because he almost felt as if it would take him several years just to procure enough Soa crystals for everything he required.

It bothered him, and while trying to distract himself from the thought of acquiring Soa crystals, Jason figured out that he was too weak right now, to begin with.

He had yet to isolate himself with his soulbonds and Jennifer.

Both wanted to become stronger, and a year or two were what they required in order to accomplish their individual goals.

While Jennifer had to firm and complete the merging process of her vessels and the soul of hers, she also wanted to refine her entire being using the Kanadi of a Primordial technique.

Other than that, there was Jason, who just wanted to focus on cultivating and on merging his mana core with his soul.

However, he shouldn't neglect the Kanadi of a Primordial technique either because it would slowly but steadily refine him.

Yet, the refinement potency of the Kanadi of a Primordial technique should be even higher once he entered the Ascendion stage.

This was likely to be the case as he would undergo his secondary Celestia bloodline awakening.

Jason felt that it would change many things, but simultaneously, he was sure that lots of things would remain the same. He believed that the technique wouldn't necessarily affect the emotions he had, whether they were good or bad.

As such, he was not even worried, but rather excited about the outcome of the secondary Celestia bloodline awakening.

With that in mind, Jason had to only wait a few days before the vast majority of weapons he had forged were sold out.

After that, he procured everything required for seven beings to cultivate for a total of two years.

The vast fortune Jason had procured by selling the Mythical weapons at the Peak of the Prismar grade astonished him greatly.

He could have never expected that so many Yinar were lacking a powerful weapon.

'Maybe the blacksmith was excited to have found me and made me forge, exactly because they were lacking strong weapons at the Peak Prismar grade?'

This made sense as most blacksmiths forged stronger weapons, not wanting to waste their time in possibly forging weapons that were below their proficiency.

It would earn them less, after all.

However, instead of minding any of that, Jason was just happy about the fortune he received.

By using the enormous amount of resources for himself, Jennifer, and his soulbonds, there wouldn't be an issue for all of them to ender the Ascendion stage, or to solidify their merging process.

As such, Jason was excited and was only awaiting the approval of the City Lord to occupy one of the isolation rooms underground.

Initially, Jason had wanted to wait for a few weeks and amass all the materials he needed until he wanted to apply for an isolation room.

Yet, instead of worrying too much about another possible attack on Liun, or that something might happen as it was the case in a bunch of settlements around Liun, he had become relatively calm.

He couldn't be sure about his gut feeling, but Jason believed that the Soul Monarch and his Guards would lay low for a while once again.

There was no evidence to prove his gut feeling, yet, he was sure that the Soul Monarch had achieved what he wanted to.

This was quite bad on one hand, but on the other hand, it meant that Jason would receive some much-needed respite from being constantly bothered about anything involving the Soul Monarch.

Thus, instead of feeling uncomfortable, he wanted to become stronger, using the isolation room as it would make numerous things much easier for him.

As such, only a few days later, after procuring the City Lord's permission they vanished underground, and their existence was almost forgotten by the entire city. The citizens of Luin would never be able to realize what kind of miracles were happening underground!
