BXBX NOVEL Chapter 933 - Pulled
Once that was done, everyone could rest for an hour, eat, sleep or cultivate before they departed from Niarn.
There was no time to waste anymore.
It had already taken more than enough for everyone to gather in Niarn, and their journey to the soul mine would further take seven more days.
As such, if the Soul Monarch was desperate enough to protect the small Soa crystal mine, he would most probably send a few of his Guards to the mine.
However, everyone expected to encounter numerous wandering souls instead of the Guards as they were more likely to have other tasks to do.
In the end, intelligent races were just better at the tasks that required scheming, trickery and tactical knowledge in order to fulfill specific tasks.
They would design the blueprint and orchestrate the elaborate plans, while the wandering souls of beasts would be the working force that would make things happen.
At least that\'s what everyone assumed to be the case, with only one or, at most, two Guards protecting the mine.
And this was already the worst-case scenario.
Jason was still subjected to weird gazes, but that was something he couldn\'t care less about.
During the last two weeks, the Elite of Liun had acted similar to the others, annoyed at his sight and recalling the humiliation of him overwhelming them all with his Abyssal effect.
Everyone had realized that they had no chance against Jason, even though he was only at the Initial phase of the Ascendion stage.
This was frustrating but also a clear indicator of his terrifyingly high combat prowess.
Even the Specta stage Cultivators had clearly sensed Jason\'s aura and the presence of his stigma.
Yet, the weirdest of all was the fact that the aura seemed to have vanished from their sight for a few moments before Jason had retracted it.
They felt that this was abnormal, but none of them dared utter a word against Jason.
In fact, their Lord had told them to not bother Jason in any way, and let him do what he wanted.
It astonished them that Lord Mian had given an Agran the permission to act however he pleased, but it was not in their power to do something against it.
As such, they had simply accepted the fact that Jason was different and somehow had gotten in their Lord\'s good books.
Hence, despite their loathing, they decided to not bother him in order to avoid irking their Lord.
Thus, they left Niarn after an hour, keeping close to the borderlines of the territories.
Jason was still eyed weirdly by many as even the Specta stage Cultivators\' interest was piqued.
Nevertheless, he ignored their gazes, and instead focused on his Soul world, the thoughts of his soulbonds, Jennifer and his surroundings.
Ever since the day he and Jennifer had reunited, Artemis had begun to sulk and grumble.
Initially, she didn\'t think much of the fact that he and Jennifer had started spending a lot of time together.
However, after some time she realized what this truly meant.
Thus, she was always complaining to him.
Meanwhile, Petri encouraged him to be more proactive with Jennifer which astonished Jason quite a bit.
He had never thought that Petri would act like this.
Because of that, Jason could only smile bitterly when Artemis and Petri had started to fight inside his soul world.
Meanwhile, Sira had just decided to sleep and ignore them, while Spyro and Solaris watched the fight with interest.
To Jason\'s misfortune, even his attempts to stop them didn\'t work.
As such, he was forced to keep watching them fight too, which was quite hilarious in his opinion.
Only after some time, he grow tired of them bickering with each other. His conscience had to leave the soul world to return to Jennifer, who shared a few things with him, which she had noticed earlier.
"When we were in Niarn, I felt a sharp pull towards a few places. I don\'t know how exactly I can describe the feeling, but I think when we flew past a herbal store, I felt like my entire being was pulled toward this place.
Could this feeling have something to do with the True Soul awakening\'s requirements?"
In the beginning, Jennifer had just wanted to make sense of things and her weird encounters as there was more than one reason for the pull as it originated from multiple places.
However, upon hearing Jason give her a lengthy explanation of how his instincts had told him to acquire the Soa crystals for the True Soul awakening, Jennifer felt the need to share her thoughts as well.
After she was done, Jason couldn\'t help but feel great, which his expression clearly showed.
"Did the pulling forces feel different or similar to you? What else did you sense?"
If they could manage to procure the items Jennifer required for her True Soul awakening, it would be perfect.
After all, her bloodlines would finally merge, and it was not unlikely for her cultivation energies to produce a new type of energy with which she could use the darkness and light affinity easily.
That was just something Jason had in mind, but it didn\'t sound implausible to him.
In fact, he was pretty sure that something similar would happen as her bloodlines were connected to the respective affinities.
With that in mind, and considering the fact that Jennifer\'s innate bloodline was not exceptional, if one were to evaluate the ordinary Aues and Devir race, there shouldn\'t be much of a problem.
The requirements for the said races\' True Soul awakening were much lower than it was the case for Jason\'s Celestia bloodline.
As for the Agran race\'s True Soul awakening, it was quite difficult to explain, but Jason knew that completing it successfully was extremely difficult too.
Thus, Jennifer ought to be the first to procure all items and finish her True Soul awakening.
This was something Jason was eagerly awaiting already.
Because of that, he felt like turning around and going back to procure all items that she had felt a pull towards.
However, it was not that easy because they had left a while ago.
Flying back and forth would also be a hassle, and Jennifer didn\'t want to do that either.
After all, the items she required seemed to be commonly found in the Ninad beast realm.
The pulling force pulled towards six different locations, after all.
Yet, there were only three different types of pulling forces at work, indicating that there was only total of three different materials that had pulled her towards them.
This was a lot, to put it in simple terms, and it caused Jason to feel even happier.
Niarn was quite a big city.
Still, he had not expected Jennifer to find that many items for her True Soul awakening.
As such, he was unable to control his Celestia aura properly that leaked from his body, enveloping the surrounding youths, all of whom flinched upon sensing the aura.
Yet, when they perceived the joy that was intertwined in his aura, they kept throwing glances towards him once again.
\'Does he have a split personality, or is love blinding his senses?\'
The youths didn\'t know the answer, but they liked the current Jason much more than the one who had used his traumatizing effect on them before.
The former Jason had humiliated them by shutting them up in a single glance, literally!
Despite the anger that churned within the depths of their conscience, the youths could still understand why Jason had acted that way.
Realizing their own mistakes instead of pushing it aside and blaming others was the best trait someone could inculcate in their behavior.
As such, even though Jason\'s way to act might have been unprofessional, it hit the bullseye in communicating his message quite effectively.
Thus, some youths even wondered if Jason had truly acted unprofessional or if he had planned out everything well in advance.
Little did they know that Jason had just acted on his own will, doing what his instincts told him to do.
And th same applied to whenever he felt that the timing for doing something was correct.
That was who he was and who he would be in the future- someone who followed his heart, even if that would mean his doom!
