Chapter 916 - Joy
Oblivious to the exact time he had required to break into the Ascendion stage, let alone to complete the Secondary Celestia Bloodline awakening, Jason could only make rough guesses.
He had sensed the surface of Liun during his awakening too which was quite helpful.
Everything had looked perfectly normal as if the issues with the Soul Monarch and his Guards had never occurred.
Jason was glad about this, but that was only obvious.
He didn't want to face the city's ruins once they were to return to the surface after all.
Initially, he had presumed that his secondary bloodline awakening would devour the energies of his surroundings, which had truly happened.
However, upon sensing that his surrounding was overflowing with the three major cultivation energies followed by the energy that was stored inside Soa crystals, he changed his earlier opinion.
'Let's solidify my cultivation!'
With that in mind, he took a last glance at his soulbonds and Jennifer before he closed his eyes once again.
Accepting the changes in his body, his mind adapted to them as he started to cultivate.
Once he began, it was no wonder that enormous streams of energy flooded his body which was equivalent to several times the amount he could cultivate with before.
This caused a vibrant smile to emerge on his face as he exerted the Divine Maestro technique in order to further accelerate his cultivation.
Right now, his only requirement was to pull his mana core and soul world core together, in order to merge them properly.
Yet, to prevent any setbacks, using more mana, and possibly even divine energy was the most secure way forward.
Thus, solidifying his cultivation meant that Jason was securing his vessel and soul while simultaneously building up a mana membrane around them.
At the same time, he was thickening the mana thread with his own mana.
Being able to liquefy more than 50,000 drops of mana in a day allowed him to achieve this relatively quickly, shocking Jason the most.
Despite the shock, everything made sense because the seven overlapping Stigmas were extremely powerful on their own already.
As such, overlapping their effects became several times stronger, only to merge with the Celestia aura that had a strong pull with respect to the surroundings.
Initially, his surrounding was deprived of the three cultivation energies, but it was slowly replenishing, only to be devoured once again.
Given that fact, they had lots of energy to cultivate, which each of the seven individuals did.
Yet, the silver cocoon had slowly dispersed, allowing the silver energy to enter Jason's body.
To be precise, it was led through his body, only to enter the Halo behind his back.
The Halo was still absorbing enormous amounts of energy, and Jason began to wonder just how much energy the halo would absorb in total.
After all, he was able to use it as his second storage space of energy which was quite exciting considering that the Halo's storage capacity seemed to be several times more than that of his mana core.
As such, it was only obvious that he was gaining a huge advantage over the other Cultivators he had encountered until now.
Jason was not sure how strong he was right now, but if he were to gauge it roughly, Ascension stage cultivators at the Mid rank stood no chance against him.
And that was something Jason was confident in without knowing the true capabilities of his body, the Halo, or the changes of his Soul world.
This was something he would only figure out half a year later as the surrounding energy was deprived of energy.
There was too little left for them and if Jason were to devour every single trace of energy in his surroundings, he would turn the nourishing soil into dry and nutrition-less soil, void of energy and enriching factors.
That was not something Jason wanted to achieve, let alone turning the entire surroundings into a vast expanse of barren land without any energy.
With that in mind, he opened his eyes that were gleaming brightly.
His silver pupils turned small while his iris seemed to enlarge for a short moment as he got up from the ground.
Jason's simple and nonchalant movement caused his body to creak as faint shockwaves of energy were released by his body.
Yet, that was something he didn't even notice as the changes in his body were slowly being unveiled to him.
The first thing Jason sensed were the countless seals on his Celestia bloodline which he hadn't been able to perceive clearly before.
This only showed him that the Chaos Emperor didn't stop sealing his bloodline even after the secondary bloodline awakening.
In the end, this meant that his strength was still severely restricted.
It was quite hard to believe because he felt multiple times more powerful than before and almost invincible.
However, his situation was certainly not something he could complain about.
As such, rather than thinking too much about the artificial seals that had been unveiled to him, Jason smiled brightly as he began to test out all kinds of things.
First, he began to experiment with his Stigma that had been fused with two individual stigmas.
Trying to sense the difference in potency, it was not difficult to figure out that his newly merged stigma was roughly ten times stronger than the one he had before.
This was already shocking, but Jason also realized that his soulbonds had received the same enhancement in their stigma.
Their individual stigmas had changed completely, and the only additional factor was that now even Jennifer had a Stigma.
It was only now that Jason realized this even though he had seen the stigma on her beforehand.
While approaching her slowly, he noticed that his steps were quite shaky and that controlling his strength was far more difficult than before.
However, that was something Jason had already expected.
Thus, once he appeared in front of Jennifer, he slowly bent down to observe the stigma on her neck as if he had to be extremely careful, only to insert divine energy and moonlight transmuted mana into his Emperor Eyes.
He was fully aware that his Emperor Eyes had been refined, reaching a state in which he was able to see energy fluctuations that were more than dozens of meters away from him.
Yet, for now, this didn't matter because he wanted to perceive the subtlest traces of energy that lingered around Jennifer.
To him, it made no sense how or why she received a Stigma, after all.
His soul was not bound to her, and the only logical reasons for her to receive a Stigma were that she was present during his Secondary Bloodline awakening, aside from the fact that she was his lover, and they would spend their nights together.
Jason was not sure if all of the above were reasons enough for the Stigma to appear on Jennifer's neck, but it was certainly something great, either way.
As such, complaining was the last thing Jason would do in this situation.
Rather, he was happy.
Because of that, Jason had never stopped smiling since he woke up as he began to avert his attention towards his soulbonds, and the soul world.
Having merged with the energy of the Celestia bloodline, Jason's soul world grew manifold. Simultaneously, the changes he had no idea of their function or purpose had occurred too.
However, what Jason clearly noticed was that the soul amplification of his soul world had increased.
From an increment of 40%, he now received a soul amplification of more than 47%.
This was exceptional, but it was not further surprising because his bloodlines had continued to merge with each other, enhancing one another.
Thus, it was an expected outcome, but nonetheless, an advantageous phenomenon that happened.
Nevertheless, what interested Jason the most were the changes that had occurred to his Emperor Eyes, and the newly materialized body part of his; the Halo of a God!
