Chapter 246: One Month



Aleron's soul, looking at him but sitting in a meditative cross-legged position in his sea of consciousness, was surrounded by whirling soul energy he was absorbing.

Using that pure soul essence from this mysterious area, he refined his soul. This process was simple but painful and slow, depending on multiple factors.

Upon reaching Unbound-rank, one's soul is already complete. It had fully formed.

To make it more powerful, people must break their limits and make it more powerful via Soul Refining.

In simple terms, it was the same as when a blacksmith heats the iron and then smashes it. Of course, the result would be different between this blacksmith process and Soul Refining.

Here, one forcefully infuses pure soul energy into their soul that usually couldn't handle more soul energy. After that, one would have to "burn" their soul using their Chakra energy, stretch it, and make it bigger and stronger, allowing it to house more soul energy while also fundamentally "strengthening" the soul.

Initially, Aleron took over an hour to increase his soul by 10, and in the second hour, his soul increased by roughly 20, reaching a total of 50 soul powers.

Afterward, he finished off that monster, won the bet, and began the second round of soul refining.

He was familiar and more proficient with Soul Refining this time as he increased his soul power by 25 in an hour.

Since he had just begun refining his soul and his potential was high, the process was going smoothly.

Aleron finished off another challenge presented by the Eternals and won 25000 Gacha points. It was race with Zephyra, the Eternal of Winds and Freedom. Zephyra kept the same stats as Aleron during this race that lasted for an hour.

It was a tough race initially with his arsenal of powers at that time, which was why the Gacha System awarded 25000 Gacha Points.

But it was an hour-long race, and Aleron's main power was improvising himself with his versatility, so he created new Magic Prints and Mystic Skill during the race to win successfully. When Aleron's soul power reached 100, his speed began to slow down, but that was expected. It was going to get harder the more it increased, which was why the Eternals said it would take a month for him to get his soul power at 700.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After all, 500+ Trinity Force was already in the realm of Supreme-rank lifeform.

10 to 100 was Unbound-rank.

101 to 500 was transcendent rank.

And 501 to 1000 was the realm of Supreme rank.

The body needed Bloodline Refinement to improve.

Arcane could be improved with the comprehension of Magilore.

And Soul needed Soul Refinement to improve.

All three were equally tough and usually took years upon years to improve.

Arcane could be improved faster with enlightenment, which not many could get.

Bloodline Refinement and Soul Refinement required resources, patience, and hard work.

However, Aleron's path to power was slightly different. He directly evolved his Bloodline to Genome Tree, skipping the Bloodline refinement and getting an overpowered, evolved body. He gained enlightenment in Magilore, reaching level 7 Magilore and entering the realm of Supreme rank in terms of Arcane Power.

And now, he had help from the best place to refine his Soul, allowing him to reach 700 soul power in a month.

A couple of Eternals were watching over his subordinate's Guild and his S-rank abode in Prosper Path Alliance, where his wives lived.

They also kept in contact with them secretly. A few of those Eternals were particularly good at keeping themselves hidden despite making contact with people, so it was simply impossible for Supreme-rank powerhouses to find them.

Umbros, the Eternal of Shadows and Secrets

Nocturna, the Eternal of Night and Dreams

These two were the ones maintaining contact, and if they didn't want to get sensed by others, it was impossible for others to sense their presence.

Aleron also knew that his world was finally producing the powerhouses after Yorin, so he created a portal device that could open a portal to Midworld and allow people who had broken through to Paragon-rank to join their Guild.

Half a month later, three people had arrived.

One was a Draconite female-78 years old.

Another was an Elven male warrior-97 years old.

These two were from the two clans that Aleron had saved from another Warlord's world and settled in his Midworld.

However, this upgrade was going to take time because it was the last upgrade to be allowed

while he was in the Chaosverse.

And this upgrade would also allow Gachapi to physically materialize outside. It was going to take a month to finish the upgrade according to Gachapi.

The second goal was a manifestation of his second Mystic Path!

This was influenced by his recent activities of crafting Geno Gears, and Aleron also kept that in

mind and spent time on this daily while he was here. He wanted a Mystic Path that helped

make him stronger in this area, and he succeeded!

Mystic Path: Phantom Artisan of the Ethereal Forge-10-star!

[Phantom Artisan of the Ethereal Forge-10-star]

- Level: 4

- Mystic Path energy source:

-[Spectral Anvil of Dreams]-

- Traits: Dreambound Craft, Astral Infusion, Echoing Forge Aura, Phantom Smithing.

[Mystic Path Skills]

-Exclusive Mystic Skill:

-> Spectral Forge Mastery: Enables the Artisan to summon a forge within the ethereal realm, allowing the creation of weapons, armor, and constructs that exist between dream and reality. Crafted items possess phantom-like qualities, intangible until willed into physical

form by the wielder.

-Mystic Skills:

1. Ghostblade Tempering: channels the energy of the Spectral Anvil to imbue ethereal weapons with raw spirit energy. These weapons can cut through physical and spiritual matter alike, leaving a haunting trail of energy with each strike.

2. Armor of Shifting Wraiths: Conjures an armor set crafted from ethereal threads, which constantly shifts between corporeal and phantom forms, providing unmatched protection against both material and magical attacks. The wearer becomes partially intangible for brief moments, evading otherwise fatal blows.

3. Phantom Crucible Strike: The Artisan summons the essence of the Phantom-forged hammer, crashing it down upon their target. The force of the impact creates ripples in the

fabric of reality, distorting time and space around the strike zone, trapping enemies in phantom echoes.

4. Dreamsmith's Command: A technique that allows the Phantom Artisan to summon ghostly constructs—phantom soldiers, weapons, or structures directly from their forge, each capable of briefly interacting with the physical world before fading back into the dream

realm.

5. Spectral Smelting Overdrive: Unleashes the full power of the Spectral Anvil of Dreams, heating the forge to its maximum capacity. For a limited time, the Artisan can rapidly craft an array of weapons, armor, and tools, each one charged with heightened ethereal energy. Crafted items gain increased durability, speed, and lethality.

This was a completely new arsenal of power for Aleron, and he had many ideas on how to use

this in tandem with his Geno Gear crafting to make items that would be stronger than all

items!

The items crafted via his Mystic Path were strange, and they were in Rune form in a way, so he could attach them to his Geno Gears!

Not to mention, Aleron planned to learn to craft Innate Gears, but not normal ones. Instead,

he wanted to craft Innate Geno Gears through his job class, so that he could gear up his

people!

When the time arrived, the Proper Path Alliance was going to be in for one hell of a surprise.

But for now, Aleron returned to his home and spent the whole day with his wives in private resorts for relaxation. He was training non-stop for a month, doing various activities daily, so he wanted a full day's rest to refresh himself.

Once he was done, Aleron suppressed his stats between 44 and 38 in Body and Soul, while he

put his Arcane at 539 since it was already revealed that he had reached level 5 in Magilore.

With that, his Trinity Force rested at 207 and finally contacted Branch Master Lilisa. 'Let's see what's the so-called event she talked about. If I can get further deep into Proper Path Alliance and make them think they can use me in their scheme, that would be best.'
