Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 300 – Cat Dad Obtains New Element Foundation and Dao

Mir lightly slapped the office lady and pulled the ghost out. The woman fainted, and Mir crushed the ghost with her small paw.

Xiaomao stared at the unconscious woman and pondered, "So, if we remove the ghost, can they revert to normal, munya?"

"No, unfortunately. Their souls are either trapped or perished in the Netherworld Realm. Even if we get rid of the ghost, her soulless body will remain in the vegetable state for the rest of her life, mew."

It was a tragedy. Xiaomao lowered his head, feeling bad for the office lady. He walked toward her and corrected her clothes.

"You're doing something unnecessary, mew. If you want to be kind, just kill her and end this misery."

Xiaomao shook his head, "I believe in miracles. Even if her soul is destroyed, her brain might still contain her old memory and her consciousness, munya."

"Nah. The core memory is stored in her soul. Her brain only records a fragment of long-term memory. Unless we can rescue the woman's soul from Netherworld, she won't wake up, mew."

"Is that so?"

Xiaomao sighed and closed the woman's eyes, letting her rest in peace.

But as soon as Xiaomao touched the woman, a strand of element Qi was ejected from her chest. It was a bright wisp that lightened the entire rooftop.

Xiaomao dropped his jaw, and Mir was shocked.

"Light Element Qi? How is it here, mew?!"

Mir was baffled. Normally, Light Element Qi hated dark and tainted places, such as modern cities, dirty areas, or man-made structures. Unless a cultivator ventured deep into a rainforest or a savanna, they wouldn't find a single strand of light element Qi anywhere.

She wasn't wrong. It was not a natural Light Element Qi. Instead, it was the office lady's strongest last wish, which created a wisp of energy similar to Light Element Qi.

Xiaomao blankly stared at the wisp. He extended his finger and touched it. Then, the memory of the office lady flooded his mind.

It was horrible. Her life was full of stress and difficulties as she was a single mother. When she was about to be promoted, pandemonium broke out, and a ghost killed her. Then, her body was restored, and a ghost took over her identity.

Xiaomao even heard her voice as if she wanted to relay her last word to him.

'I don't care about myself. Please protect my child and my mother!'

The images of a terminally ill grandmother and a little boy appeared in Xiaomao's mind. They were the office lady's mother and her son, who were the last members of her family after her husband had passed away.

"…"

Xiaomao shed a tear of depression and sadness because of the influx of emotions. He bit his lower lips and slightly nodded, promising the woman.

Before, Xiaomao hesitated if he should protect Earth and rescue the humans. But after witnessing the desperation and the tragedy of the office lady, he started thinking.

Solomon's method was too cruel. Many innocent humans didn't deserve this.

How many innocent families had been ruined because of Solomon?

How many lives did they take so far?!

Was the war worth it? Who should be responsible for this madness?

Pangu? Mu-Nyang? Solomon?

"Tsk!"

The more Xiaomao thought, the more depressed he was. No matter if he wanted to do something, he was still powerless against the three super gods.

To subdue Solomon, Xiaomao needed to get stronger!

To defeat Pangu and end the war, Xiaomao needed to get even stronger!

To change Mu-Nyang's mind, Xiaomao needed to be invincible!

To make a difference, Xiaomao needed STRENGTH!

As if the wisp of light appreciated Xiaomao's promise and thoughts, it flashed and entered Xiaomao's chest.

"WAIT, XIAOMAO! YOU CAN'T DIGEST THE SECOND ELEMENT QI YET, MEW!"

It was too late for Mir to stop Xiaomao. He directed it to his pocket dantian and sent it to the second Life Essence Sea.

The wisp of light consumed the Life Essence and expanded, evolving into a radiating white crystal. It floated over the dried sea and continued to shine.

Xiaomao sent his consciousness to check the changes. Upon seeing the crystal, he was reminded of the heirloom that Mao Miaomiao had left behind for him.

It was the same pylon tower crystal!

Xiaomao immediately returned his consciousness to the real body and checked the game notification messages by closing his eyes.

DING

<Congratulation! You have assimilated a strand of Light Element Qi!>

<Your Light Spiritual Roots have drastically increased!>

<Your Light Spiritual Roots have surpassed 100,000!>

<Would you upgrade your Light Spiritual Roots to Light Element Foundation?>

Xiaomao raised his brows. It was easier than the last time as he didn't feel any pain from the elemental Qi.

Unbeknownst to Xiaomao, as he had already gone through the same process once, his pocket dantian expanded and got stronger, able to handle the backlashes and the side effects of a new element power.

'My Light Roots was only 55k the last time I checked. Welp. I don't mind a big boost. Yes, please. Also, if possible, I want to learn a new Dao.'

Since the new power couldn't harm him, Xiaomao upgraded his spiritual roots right away.

DING

<Your Light Spiritual Roots have become Light Element Foundation!>

<All light-related spells and skills have been derived.>

<You can learn more book spells and book skills.>

<A new spiritual root has been derived from Light Element Foundation!>

<You have obtained Holy Spiritual Roots!>

<Due to your personality, bloodline, and recent experience, a new Dao Seed has been derived from the Light Element Foundation!>

<You have unlocked Dao Seed of True Purification!>

'True Purification?'

Xiaomao pursed his lips. He meditated and consolidated his foundation while Mir threw a fit and ran around him like a young cat at 3 AM, trying to get his attention.

An hour later, aka 60 days in Xiaomao's pocket dantian, Xiaomao's new element foundation stabilized. He opened his eyes and looked at the panicking cat.

"YOU SO STUPID, MEW!"

PA

Mir slapped him and yelled.

"You so dumb, mew! You could have died!"

"Why? Was it that dangerous, munya?"

"That's right! Some immortals can send their element Qi around the world to enslave young cultivators, mew! If that strand of element Qi belongs to one of the ghosts, you would have been dead, mew!"

"…"

"I see that the Qi is safe, but don't do it again, mew! If you find a strand of element Qi in a suspicious place, warn someone first and let them appraise it first, mew!"

Once again, Mir scolded Xiaomao for an hour.

.

An hour later

As Xiaomao had completed more than one elemental foundation, she started the Dao lesson so that Xiaomao could learn the basics of domain skills.

"The next lesson is your Dao Avatar, mew! You will have to adjust your mind and power a bit since you will be using your new element Qi instead of Life Qi, Life Essence, or mana, mew."

Dao Avatar was an embodiment or a spirit of a Dao. It represented the heart, mind, principles, beliefs, and personality of each cultivator.

Each Dao Avatar also had a different ability. They could either manifest in the real world to fight or merge with their master, depending on their perks and Dao.

In addition, the Dao Avatars were capable of using an incomplete domain ability to assist their masters in the form of aura. It was inferior to nascent soul domains and constellation domains, but it was better to have one.

Mir ended the theory lesson. She moved on to the practical lesson to save time.

"The 6th stage has many names. It's commonly known as the Golden Core Stage. A few backward planets called it Core Pillars, Core Platforms, or True Core, but that's not the point. We're going to focus on the most flexible method, mew! I'll teach you how to turn an element foundation into a golden core foundation."

Xiaomao scratched his head. He believed that the advancement was too fast.

"I haven't evolved all elements into the element foundation yet. Should I move on to the golden core stage now, munya?"

"You don't have to worry about that. The golden core stage is the most flexible one. You can slowly add more element foundations later after you step into the golden core stage since all golden cores are standalone, mew. As long as you don't complete the immortal ascension ritual and complete your soul formation, you have time to complete as many element foundations as you want, mew!"

Xiaomao was relieved as he had time to improve the other elements. But there were still many questions about the complications of the Daos and the so-called golden core. Moreover, Xiaomao hadn't defeated other clones other than Wei Feng.

He needed to learn and adapt to how a proper 5th-stage cultivator fight too!

Training schedules and tasks piled up so fast. Xiaomao suppressed his anxiousness and paid attention to the new lecture, hoping to get as many things done as soon as possible.
