Is that a Wisp?

They immediately understood.

"Right! These ruins are called the Soren Ruins."

Zuran then explained.

"It's said that if you get lost in the Core Region of the Ruins, you might obtain help to get out. From what I know, the one who helped others was called Soren. With time, the number of cultivators and demon beasts who got his help increased. In the end, the Ruins ended up having his name attached to it since it didn't have one before."

Krune and the others looked at Soren.

"What? I couldn't leave anyway, so I might as well use some of my free time to send the idiots who came inside outside. In any case, it will be over today since I'm finally leaving these ruins."

Zuran then looked at Soren and finally decided to ask.

"By the way, who's Zugen?"

Soren didn't seem to want to answer that question.

"That's not your problem."

Zuran bitterly smiled but didn't insist. Everyone could tell just how much stronger he was compared to anyone in this place. Who wanted to offend such a monster?

Sometime later, Zuran and the other cultivators began to move out of the ruins. As Soren mentioned, the crystal demon beasts and ghosts began to disappear. Although they found a few on the way out, they didn't seem to care about them anymore. Some tried to capture them, but they quickly broke apart or dissipated. There was nothing left to be brought back.

Of course, there were a few who decided to move deeper into the ruins to see if they could find more treasures. In fact, they probably would have since no one had been able to escape his place before.

Leaving that aside, Krune's group stayed behind with Soren.

Fura, however, was the most confused person regarding everything that was happening. After all of that, Krune's group explained what they knew to Heavin and Liriu straight away with Divine Sense Messages.

"Errr... So, should I leave as well?"

Heavin looked at her and laughed.

"It's fine. As a Mental Energy user, you have the right to know a few things."

Soren looked at Fura and could tell what happened to her.

"Come here."

Fura felt nervous for a moment but nodded nonetheless. She wouldn't be able to escape from someone like Soren to start with.

Soren then touched her forehead. After a few moments, Fura grunted in pain as a black wisp was extracted from her mind. Following that, Soren crushed the black wisp, making it disappear for good.

"You're quite lucky. If this thing was in your head for a bit longer, you would have turned like those puppets over there."

Everyone then looked at the two remaining black figures. With Zugen's death, they froze in place and didn't do anything else. Calling them puppets was quite a fitting term indeed.

Fura felt a chill on her back as she quickly bowed to Soren.

"Thank you, senior."

Soren nodded, not minding it too much.

Finally, Heavin also sent her a Divine Sense message, telling her what could be said. Of course, she left things like Luvile's existence, the fact that Soren was a Soul God of the God Realm, and so on out.

"I see... So am I going to be a Mental Energy Cultivator or Spiritual Energy Cultivator? Am I both of them at the same time now?"

Soren nodded.

"In short, yes. You can cultivate both at the same time and should, in fact, do so. You are already in the sixth realm of the Soul Cultivation Technique. That means you have a Mental Energy Source connected to your Soul that can't be separated anymore. This Mental Energy Source needs the help of the fused five primary elements and laws to grow stronger."

"Is it really okay for me to cultivate it? It seems quite an important thing."

Soren shook his head.

"Just now, when I removed the issue in your mind, I also blocked your capabilities of sharing it."

Fura was taken aback after hearing that. Soon after, she tried to talk about the cultivation technique. But it didn't matter what she did. The words simply didn't come out. It was as if a barrier had appeared around the knowledge of the technique. It was simply impossible for her to remove it. Well, she was happy with this development already. After all, it would have been a lot faster to simply kill her to keep the secret.

Krune then took the chance to talk with her.

"Are you perhaps the same Fura as the one who left a Heavenly Fragment with the Holy Seer of the Jafrot Religion?"

Fura was once again taken aback as she looked at Krune.

"How do you know that?"

Feifei smiled and explained the situation to Fura through a Divine Sense Message.

"I see... So you went there to negotiate about the Heavenly Fragment. Well, the Holy Seer would never sell something that wasn't his. That's why I entrusted that fragment to him instead of carrying that bomb around. Anyway, it's thanks to Heavin that I escaped the fate of becoming a puppet. That being said, I'll give you that fragment once we leave here for free. That should help pay for the help I've received."

Heavin didn't mind since he knew that Krune needed those fragments. He came here for another reason, after all.

"Senior Soren. I've been stuck in the Soul Control Realm until now and couldn't figure a way to enter the next realm. Would you help me out with it?"

Soren looked at Heavin and responded.

"Soul Control Realm? Ah, right! You gave different names for the Soul Cultivation Technique. Let me take a look at the ones you created."

Heavin didn't mind and quickly passed the entire thing to Soren.

Soren analyzed it for a few minutes before saying.

"Truly surprising. There are even a few parts that are more refined than my own version. At first, I was in doubt whether you really created it or if you obtained this from me through some other method. However, I can tell that this is definitely not something I created."

Soren then looked at Heavin as his eyes shone.

"A Divine Soul that has acquired sentience, how amusing. Perhaps because you were a soul being from the start, you have excellent compatibility with this technique. You even made changes to the cultivation technique so that it could be used by your friends of other races."

"This old man has never had a disciple in his life. Zugen used my cultivation technique, but he wasn't a disciple. How about it? Would you accept me as your Master?"

Krune and the others were surprised to hear that, especially Heavin.

Heavin then quickly nodded his Phoenix Puppet head as he shouted.

"Definitely!"

Soren laughed before turning around and opening a Spatial Gate.

"Let's get out of this place first. There are a lot of good things here, but leave it for the fated ones."

None of them complained as they traversed the gate. At the very next instant, the place became empty as if nothing had ever happened there.

Outside, Soren looked at Krune's group before passing them a Jade Slip. Soren was from a time when there was no technology, so he still used those things instead of communicators.

"These are the first seven realms of the Soul Cultivation Technique."

Fura commented.

"That's the extent of my knowledge as well. I only have knowledge up to the 7th realm."

Soren then pondered for a bit before saying.

"Hmm... You guys have been using different names for the realms and the Soul Manifestation Energy so far. Alright, let's change the name of the realms as well."

"What?! Is that really okay, Senior Soren?"

Soren nodded, not minding it too much.

"They're just names. Besides, I'm considering it as a turning point in my life. It would be nice to get a new view of everything."

Heavin quickly gave his opinion.

"Then, let's call the sixth realm the Soul Source Realm. After all, this is when we first create our Mental Energy Source."

"As for the seventh... What happens in the seventh realm, Master?"

Soren nodded as he explained.

"In the sixth realm, you need to learn to fuse the elements to then create Mental Energy by fusing them with part of your own Soul. I'll give you a warning here. You guys haven't created a Mental Energy Source yet. That means you can still give up this technique to reincarnate once you die. But once you enter the Soul Source Realm, there's no coming back anymore."

Krune and the others couldn't help but ponder about this issue.

"Anyway, think about it as much as you want. Now, let's get back to the main topic. The seventh realm is not something you can achieve in the Mortal Realms. As soon as you reach the peak of the Soul Source Realm, you will receive an Ascension Tribulation. Only in the Godly Path Realm or above can you break through to the seventh realm."

Heavin immediately understood.

"So, this is the equivalent of the Mortal Rejection Realm for the Mental Energy Source."

Soren nodded with a smile.

"Correct. In the Mortal Rejection Realm, you will transform the last part of your body into a godly one, the Soul. As for the Soul Cultivation Technique, it is the moment where your Mental Energy Source becomes a godly source."

Krune nodded as he suggested.

"Then, what about keeping it simple? Just call it the Godly Soul Source Realm."

Feifei and the others had to admit that, although simple, it described the realm perfectly. Heavin and Soren didn't find any issue with it either.

"Alright. The Godly Soul Source Realm it is."
