God's Eyes

Chapter 608 - Balance



In order to cultivate properly with the Balance of the Universe cultivation technique, Jason had to use a particular set of movements that changed the way he walked tremendously.

Through this, his pores would open wider as long as Jason used a specific way to circulate mana through his body.

After that was done, Jason could use the large amount of mana he absorbed to replace his own mana in order to circulate it in the same specific way through his mana veins.

This was more difficult than he had expected, but this was only obvious.

He was using a cultivation technique for the first time in his life and wanted to walk around while cultivating right off the bat.

Difficulties were bound to happen because of that, but it made Jason excited.

It had been quite some time since he had run into trouble mastering something because his capabilities had overwhelmed everyone around his age a long time ago.

Argos had become the place he grew up, giving him the time to figure out who he was and what he wanted to achieve in the future.

There were several things he had planned, but for everything, strength was a basic necessity.

Several hours passed in which Jason was slowly adjusting himself to the sensation of cultivating with the Balance of the Universe cultivation technique.

He had yet to make any remarkable progress and his cultivation speed was currently several times slower than it was under normal circumstances, but that was not something Jason was concerned about.

Slowly moving through the cave of elements in the described movements he was supposed to use, Jason felt that his suction force was fluctuating a lot.

This meant that certain movements of his were easier to execute for him than others.

Because of that, Jason couldn't help but wonder if the cultivation technique he practiced was also something he could use to stretch his body.

There were several muscle groups he had to move which he'd never known to even exist earlier.

This was extremely interesting, and Jason felt happy to have chosen the Balance of the Universe technique to cultivate.

Using the vast majority of muscle groups, his body loosened up.

However, at the same time, the unused muscles were quickly becoming sore because Jason forced himself to use them for several hours which was only possible owing to his high physical condition!

As such, after testing out the cultivation technique for quite some time, Jason stopped.

"That should be enough for today. Maybe I can practice more tomorrow!" 

He mumbled to himself, only to shift his focus from using the cultivation technique to passively absorbing mana with the help of his mind's sub-area and his active efforts.

There was no need to waste his precious time and halt to cultivate just because he couldn't use the cultivation technique right now.

Looking around, Jason had no idea where he was, but thankfully he received a total of three transmitted thoughts and memories, given by his soulbonds.

'So I'm still in the tunnel and we walked upwards? That's great!'

Jason was quite happy due to the information shared by his soulbonds, and a faint smile emerged on his face.

The tunnel was still leading upwards, and Jason felt as if he would be able to see the surface through his Emperor Eyes soon.

Even if he couldn't be sure what exactly he was seeing through his eyes, as long as he didn't see any outlines, it was possible to perceive a wide-open space. 

This was because mana streams could move unhindered through the surrounding soil.

As such, every single time he might see a wide-open space through the Emperor Eyes, it was either a gigantic cavern or the surface!

Because of that, Jason was consistently inserting large amounts of mana into his eyes, enabling him to maintain a heightened eyesight. It allowed him to perceive specific objects and beasts through the mana enriched soil.

This sight was restricted to a radius of slightly more than one kilometer but that should be more than enough.

Right now, his eyes perceived nothing but beasts, elemental crystals, element ores, other kinds of ores, and another gigantic underground lake whose water molecules were similarly intertwined with mana.

He had yet to see the surface or clues hinting at the fact that he was slowly approaching the surface, but that was not something that concerned Jason anymore.

It was possible for him to walk through the cavern tunnels and halls without any issues, and had more than enough time to learn how to use a proper cultivation technique.

Even if its grade was not high, that didn't concern Jason because his Celestia aura, stigma and innate mana mastery would boost the cultivation technique's speed to its limits.

At least, he hoped that would happen once he had mastered the Balance of the Universe technique to some extent!

**

Days passed and Jason felt like the tunnel was never-ending. He had yet to perceive the surface too.

This shocked him a little bit, and Jason was unable to determine just how deep underground he had been the whole time.

Walking upwards for days, there should have at least been some clues about the surface such as a simple gust of wind.

However, there was nothing but the elemental crystals and element ores, which Jason had decided to mine a few hours every single day.

He required a small fortune to barter or sell, to begin with, and mining cleared his mind and helped him keep negativity at bay. 

Nevertheless, Jason's entire body was sore, and instead of doing nothing, he had decided to practice the Netherworld's fort body refining technique once again.

Solaris' flame soothed his sore muscles while the nutrition solutions he had obtained from the foreign races' spatial rings which he had killed during the Great Argos war revitalized him.

The nutrition solutions were extremely helpful to refine his body, but also to provide it with energy.

This allowed Jason to dull the ache of his sore muscles, only to continue testing the Balance of the Universe cultivation technique.

He was slowly finding the perfect balance between using the described movements while circulating the absorbed mana through his body.

Because of that, his cultivation speed was slowly increasing, brushing past the passive cultivation speed Jason could reach without the use of a cultivation technique.

In the end, Jason didn't even sleep since the time he had emerged on Manyr because it was simply not necessary yet, and he wanted to see the first signs of the surface before he would even think of sleeping.

Not wanting fatigue to consume him, he constantly replenished the energy that invigorated him consistently. Due to this, Jason felt as if he could stay awake for months.

This was exactly what his premonition told him- that it would be necessary for him to stay awake for months before he would see the surface through the ground.

Even if Jason hoped this to not be the case, it was almost as if the world bridge had brought him to the deepest possible part of the ginormous planet.

Though he couldn't be sure of the fact, Jason knew that he would have long since reached the surface if he were to still be on Argos.

More than 10 days had passed since his arrival on Manyr and many things had changed. The most evident of all was that Jason and his soulbonds' joy about the dense energy in the surroundings had dimmed down.

Even Petri, who was able to feel the primordial energy in the surroundings, couldn't be happy about their current situation anymore.

He wanted to return to his old size without being forced to enter the soul world.

Unfortunately, this was easier said than done because the tunnel he was currently in was narrow and filled with spiked crystals at the Prismar grade.

Those crystals were definitely sharp enough to pierce through Petri's tough scales, and Jason didn't want to see his youngest soulbond get injured needlessly.

Meanwhile, Jason's only joy was that he'd earned quite a fortune and that his strength was slowly progressing through his own cultivation as well as that of his soulbonds!

This was great, and even more so, because all three of his soulbonds were advancing with time, including Solaris who wasn't restricted by the shackles that had held it down.

Having absorbed the orange lesser origin flame crystal had made this possible for Solaris, and Jason was glad that he had stayed on Argos even more than before.

Staying longer on Argos had helped him mature further, help those who were weaker than him, and he had even gained benefits from it!
