Jason was really interested to find out if it was possible for him to cultivate with multiple energies too.

For now, this was impossible because his very first attempt to absorb primordial energy had almost damaged his cultivation vein.

But now that the seals on his Celestia bloodline were trembling violently, seemingly trying to unleash something that was locked from him, Jason realised that it was not unlikely for his secondary or tertiary bloodline awakening to transform his cultivation vein too.

This was not something he could be sure about, but it wouldn't make sense for humans to be able to cultivate in several paths at once, only for him, the descendant of a Celestia, to be unable to do the same.

However, there was also the possibility that the Celestia race were simply beings unparalleled in the field of Maest and control over mana!

In the end, Jason's knowledge about his heritage was too shallow to satiate his curiosity, but there was nothing he could do to change it right now.

What he could be absolutely certain of was, that binding beasts of other cultivation paths to his soul was possible.

As such, despite the possibility of not being able to cultivate in the path of Pryr and Spiral, Jason was bound to receive benefits from soulbonds like Petri, who increased his physical strength tremendously.

With that thought in mind, Jason realised that it was not the most important to be able to cultivate in other paths, but that he and his soulbonds just had to be the best in their respective field.

While that applied the most to his soulbonds, it was slightly different for Jason because of said amplification he received from each of his soulbonds.

His overall strength was the accumulated strength of his beasts that was added to his own strength.

This was what essentially made the soul-awakening of the human race on Argos so powerful, which paved the path for mankind to become a strong race.

Jason was sure of this fact, and only being enslaved, suppressed, or being annihilated before their true potential was reached could probably hinder humans on Argos from becoming powerful.

Smiling lightly at the thought of his vast soul world, he entered the depths of the flourishing plains.

After entering the plains, Jason encountered an unusually higher number of beasts than before, but none of them attacked him directly.

Most of them were content with showing their energy fluctuations the moment he brushed past them, indicating that they would fight for their territory if needed.

When he perceived this, Jason couldn't help but feel amused, thinking that the beasts on Manyr were less aggressive than those on Argos.

These beasts mostly focused on their territory, the available resources, and growing stronger.

'The beasts on Manyr are definitely more intelligent than those on Argos...maybe the Overlords are an exception...still, to think that their behavior is just like that of foreign races...it feels odd.'

Even if he was intrigued, Jason's mind was focused on trying to find a place where he could rest.

He had been awake for longer than a month and had initially planned to rest and catch up on some sleep once he saw the signs of the surface.

Little did he know that a simple, almost vertical tunnel would lead him directly to the surface.

After that, he didn't feel like sleeping because the surrounding made him feel uncomfortable

This had now changed, and Jason decided to look out for a territory of an extremely strong beast that wouldn't bother about a lowly 2nd Lique stage sleeping in the outskirts.

Many weaker beasts slept, ate, and lived in the territory of stronger beasts.

On one hand, this was not exactly weird as long as they didn't seize the cultivation resources of the stronger beast, but on the other hand, Jason wondered if that was even impossible to avoid.

'Maybe the stronger beasts start killing other beasts once the energy currents around it are not dense enough to satisfy it anymore?'

Jason thought that this made sense because the surrounding beasts were also cultivating, and only with enough energy would they progress further.

As such, once too many beasts were cultivating in a particular region, the amount of mana available would be less than that without cultivating beasts.

In the end, this was also the reason for Jason to decide that it was best to stay on the outskirts.

He was not sure how much mana he had absorbed in a short period in comparison to other beasts, but it was definitely not little.

Thus, he had to avoid becoming the target of the strongest beast in the territory, which was the easiest by staying at the outskirts, or possibly even at the shared border of another territory.

With that, Jason would rather try to make it look like the adjacent territory was absorbing too much mana, influencing the other territory.

This was a mind game, but he had to resort to such tactics because his cultivation base was one of the lowest.

Even if that thought was frustrating, he had to cope with the new circumstances and the fact that even the Ascendion stage might not be enough to become something better than a leader of a few soldiers.

At least, that's what Jason concluded from the battlefield he had seen before, in addition to the fact that only double cultivation vein awakened beings were special.

'They were probably younger and fighting one of their first few battles against each other?' Jason assumed while questioning himself if there were more races other than the Devils, Angels, and humans.

He didn't think that this was likely, however, that was only his gut feeling because he had only seen the three races until now.

There were no other soldiers fighting alongside members of these three races that would hint at an alliance, or a federation of multiple races.

This might as well be wrong, but not something Jason had to be concerned about right now.

Rather, he was more interested in the combat prowess of the double cultivation vein awakened beings.

While the young woman had looked like a combat veteran despite being young, the others were still not as skilled in releasing two energies at once as she had been.

Combining the intel he had acquired, Jason could also roughly predict that beasts at the Ascendion stage looked like they were controlling lands, only to be considered as something similar to a vassal.

The strongest beings in the areas should be above the Ascendion stage.

Despite that, Jason was not even sure whether the surrounding region was reigned by beasts, or separated into the Devil and Angel race territory.

He simply ignored the possibility of humans reigning the lands because they fought under the banner of the other races while revealing their fear.

In the end, this was extremely important to know for the future, and even now it could become a deciding factor where he should cultivate and where he shouldn't.

Unfortunately, owing to the fact that he didn't know the answer, Jason could only follow his instincts while looking for a place with some, but not too less a number of beasts roaming around.

Too few beasts meant that the area was likely to be dangerous and too many were an indicator that chaos would break out soon.

As such, after flying for a whole day, distancing himself from the battlefield, hopefully preventing anyone from finding him, he finally sighed in relief.

It was only when Jason felt safe that he decided to use a field with thousands of large stones protruding out of the ground in order to hide his presence from other beasts.

They couldn't even perceive his aura, stigma, or mana currents because Jason had concealed all of that, to have some peace and sleep soundly.

'Cultivating with a rested mind will be much better!'
