Five years had passed since I started living in this new world.
During the past five years I have had a great increase in my spiritual age and strength.
My spiritual age was now 40,000 years and my strength was similar to 90,000 years.
Just seeing my age increase and my strength showed that I had not been inactive for these five years.
In those five years my body entered the celestial body stage of the tempering method [Body of the holy King]. Being able to enter this stage was not an easy thing to achieve.
I had to destroy and remake my whole body spending large amounts of my spiritual energy and use my light element to the maximum, I was also lucky that I found a "Light-devouring Lily" a spiritual herb that was characterized by devouring the light element of all its area and store it in it.
Thanks to the spiritual herb that supplied me with large amounts of the light element. If it weren't for her, it would have taken me other years to advance to my second stage.
The bones in my body were now a light gold color, the meridians in my body had grown larger and stronger like crystals.
My appearance became a little more beautiful and the muscles of my body became more defined and slim giving me a much more delicate appearance.
My body no longer had any existing impurities.
My body was now full of vital energy full of purity.
Also within my inner space was a second gold colored core. From the nucleus, you could see how small strands of elemental light energy were generated that ran through my entire body, nourishing it with the element of light and energy.
Thanks to my second nucleus, my affinity with the element of light became more solid. Now he could manipulate the light element at will which he could not previously.
Also my interior space changed a bit thanks to the existence of the second nucleus. Now there were two groups of points.
Being a group of silver points and another group of light gold points.
As for my cultivation of [Immemorial soul art] I am on the right track, I could feel that I was approaching the second stage.
My core looked the same but the outline of my soul began to turn white in places.
I had a feeling that once my age advanced to 100,000 years my soul cultivation would also enter the second stage and I would be pleasantly surprised.
Also thanks to the increase in my age, my third eye also strengthened so that now I can see translucent specks of some colors in the air. These specks of lights was the spiritual energy in the air as far as I could understand.
My 360-degree vision also became much stronger, I could now observe my entire surroundings in greater detail within an area of 800m.
During these five years I also experimented with other skills and techniques. I was able to create various attack skills, as well as create a movement technique.
[starlight movement] a technique that uses the element of light to move at great speed. The technique was created by using various movement techniques.
[starlight movement] has only two functions, the first is that in battle it allows me to move quickly and create up to seven vivid silhouettes capable of attacking. The silhouettes only have 50% of my strength.
The other function is that it allows me to move great distances for every step I take.
Thanks to this technique my strength when fighting increased greatly.
I also tried to create some techniques to be able to cultivate spiritual energy using my knowledge about souls and spirit.
But they were all bungled so far, but I won't stop.
Since I could understand that this world had gods and that they were trying to suppress the advances of the beasts they became my enemies. Not that I have an attachment to beasts.
Do not!
It is simply that I am one too and in the future I will be destined to run into them whether I want to or not.
I need strength to be able to fight them and not lonely strength. Like it or not, I need help from the other beasts but I won't join them.
What I will do is make the beasts my subordinates using my slave brand, then I will feed and nurture them to help me fight against the gods.
Although I only see them as a tool for my happiness, they should also be happy to get stronger and to help them take revenge against their natural enemies.
This life I promised myself to live my way and I will not let anyone get in the way. Even if on my way I have to bathe the world in blood and turn into a demon I will gladly accept it.
Also the stronger I got I could feel the seal getting strong too.
Even with my knowledge of souls and spirits, I still couldn't find a solution to remove it from my ring.
I know that in time I may have a solution, but I can't wait that long.
The more time passes, it is time that I could use to increase my strength quickly using the cultivation system of my previous world.
This is because when I tried to cultivate my old system, the seal lit up like never before and my entire body underwent great torture. If it weren't for my soul cultivation, I was sure that my soul and spirit would have suffered injuries.
Just wait who is the cause of this, I will make him suffer throughout his life making him wish for death.
----
During these five years, along with the second stage of the celestial body, my height increased to 1.85 m.
As for my clothes, it was still the same.
A robe that only exposes part of my chest and wraps my legs leaving only my fingers free.
The only thing I noticed was that my hair used to be as long as my hips, now it was so long that it reached my knees. Which doesn't matter much to me, I even like the length and color of my hair.
It feels like looking at a crystal lake, just when the veins on my arms were a much brighter color than before.
Other than that, the situation within the forest became strange three years ago when a part of the forest in the distance was covered in inky black smoke.
Everything in the vicinity of the smoke dried up and died, even the beasts were no exception.
He could see how the whole place had a lot of black spots representing the dark element and there was also a strange black spot with a purple core that he didn't know what element it would be.
This only made him want to stay away from the place.
But lately I wanted to explore or take a closer look.
Although it is very stupid of him, he still wants to do it.
But first he wants to increase his years a little more and then go to the place.
Therefore, he postponed his exploration of the site for two years. Although he feels strong now, he knows that the 100,000-year-old beasts are still around.
He has become much more cautious of everything around him.
That has been the way of thinking of him that I adopt to live in this forest where the strong eat the weak and the second for his past life.
Even he can't get over his remorse and especially the betrayal of his friends.
* grunt *
The thought of him was interrupted by the sounds of his stomach.
"Mm, time to eat"
Thanks to his great improvement, his appetite became much more exaggerated, that if he does not eat at the right time, he will sulk.
----
* Roar *
"Joo, even when your limbs are missing, you keep fighting" I said as I approached the spirit beast that was roaring at me.
Even after knowing that he can't beat me and that he is about to die. The beast still tries to resist.
Admirable, I have to say, compared to the humans who would have prostrated themselves and begged to be left alive. The beasts at least died fighting without yielding to their fate.
Because of that alone, my respect for spirit beasts grew a bit over the five years.
"Do not worry, I will enjoy your meat in honor of you" were my words of comfort to the beast before killing it without caring much about the hatred reflected in its eyes.
I absorbed his 20,000-year-old ring and then left along with his body.
"Today we will eat grilled wolf" were my thoughts as I had a smile on my face.
During all this time, my cooking level increased to outrageous levels.
You could make a meal that will put many chefs to shame just by using the meat and some herbs.
----
I was about to take up farming after a delicious meal.
When I felt at my distance the roar of several beasts.
To be more exact, the roars came from the place of the black smoke.
This piqued my interest, no beast would approach that place but now I can hear the roars of various beasts coming from there.
"When the beasts got so dumb" were my thoughts on what happened.
However despite my curiosity it was not my problem, so I decided to ignore it.
I sat on top of a tree and went into meditation mode while cultivating my two methods at the same time.
Thank you that my third eye gave me the ability to see spiritual energy in the air. I was able to drag the gold-colored specks towards me.
These specks were of the light element, so they helped me advance faster in my bodily temper and continue to nourish my golden core of elemental light energy.
*ROAR!*
I could feel the specks entering my core at neither slow nor fast speed. My core began to generate more strands of golden lights in a faster way thanks to the amount of elemental energy of light that entered it.
* BAM! *
The strands traveled throughout my body nourishing it with the light element, this made my body begin to glow slightly in a golden hue.
The rest of the non-gold specks I directed towards my spiritual core while following the [Immemorial soul art] method.
My core began to be bathed in energy causing it to flash sapphire blue.
*ROAR!*
* BAM! *
My silhouette also began to flash as the white color began to expand through it in a slow way.
*ROAR!*
* frown *
I stopped my cultivation while getting up from the place.
"These stupid beasts want to die today," I thought as I opened my eyes reflecting coldness.
