Chapter 870: The Soul Filling Technique
Three days later--- Planet Jura spirit domain---
"...." Richard's silver spirit embodiment remained seated with his eyes closed and his hands on his knees, then he opened his eyes and sighed, then looked at his father's back, "Well I've finished digesting all the soul techniques you passed on to me, and I've also absorbed everything you told me about the Soul Domain, I believe I can enter and exit it as I please now."
"Oh, so fast?" Robin let his finger run over the image of Planet Jura and loosened his knitted eyebrows before looking back happily, walking towards Richard, "Excellent, it's time for me to pass on to you the last soul technique I made, if I can combine it with your mass killing methods then I believe that no one will be able to stop you, not in the young planetary belt, nor the middle one!"
Richard lowered his eyebrows gently and looked serious. Something inside him told him that his father was passing on all those soul techniques to him just to ready him for this moment. "Wait, your words sound suspicious. What are you going to pass on to him?" Juri stood up as she raised one hand on Robin's face and the other on her waist.
"It's just a technique. Don't overthink it like you usually do." Robin turned annoyed.
But Evergreen wouldn't let him pass, "Give me the technique to check first!!" She erected a wall of spirit energy in front of him which he crashed into.
"Damn it! Don't you have another place to stick your nose in?" Robin began rubbing his forehead, "Why don't you use that enthusiasm and make us an energy pool here or a cultivation area there instead of being so flat and tasteless!"
For the past two weeks, Robin had been trying to find anything different on Planet Jura, maybe a small hidden world full of wonders or maybe a hidden North Pole dominated by a certain law and full of riches, but he didn't find anything, at least on the surface.
He even searched the dark ruins where Theo got lost as a child and lost his tongue, he found it to be an ancient battlefield under the foot of a mountain full of negative energy, it was only popular because it was full of miniature treasures that had fallen from the dead soldiers, it wasn't something worth looking into any further!
"I'm flat?!" Juri pointed to herself angrily, tears in her eyes, "It's my fault for deciding to invest in you silly humans!!"
"Alright alright, no need to be angry, my father just likes to mess with you." Richard stood up and tried to comfort the little girl, for some reason his heart wouldn't allow him to see her sad, then he looked at his father, "Father, can you pass the technique to her first?"
"Tsk- Planet spirits are just tools, don't treat them like your little sister or they'll ride on your back and won't come down." Robin replied annoyed, but she formed a scroll of soul force anyway and threw it to Juri, "Here, you have a minute to read it before I pass it to the boy."
"..." Juri picked up the scroll and closed her eyes, she began to absorb what was in it, but she didn't forget to use the spirit energy in the range to create thorns under Robin's feet, making him jump in pain.
"Hmm? Is that it..?! No, it can't be..." After only a few seconds Juri started to mumble, then suddenly shouted, "Ah!!"
"Don't try to change the subject, that was painful!" Robin was still trying to heal the sole of his foot.
Juri threw the scroll at him with all her might, almost creating a hole in his soul avatar, "Do you intend to kill your own son, you pig-head?!"
"Huh?" Robin ignored the blow that slightly bruised his chest, "What are you talking about? This is a soul-filling technique, I've used it before and I'm perfectly fine."
"How many times have you used it? How many primordial souls have you absorbed into your soul domain using this method?!" Juri asked quickly, this time it actually seemed a little
much to Robin.
"...I used it on myself once, absorbing a powerful opponent's primordial soul, and once as a mediator." Robin frowned slightly, "What's going on here?"
"Huff~ Not so much that you can't go back, good..." Juri was a little reassured, then looked into Robin's eyes, "Don't treat the soul like any other heavenly law, soul affairs are not something humans mess with, be a good boy and slowly raise your soul units like everyone else."
"But why?! Planet Spirit Evergreen saw the technique and didn't tell me to give it up." Robin took a step forward, starting to get a little worried.
"Do you know what soul creatures are?" Yuri asked, Richard next to her listening intently.
"Yes, when a living being dies, their consciousness is destroyed and their soul force is dispersed, but the primal soul remains floating around for a longer period of time before it gradually begins to disintegrate." Robin furrowed his brows, "As far as I know, soul creatures are formed after accidentally absorbing one of those disintegrated primal souls." "Exactly, if you look in your soul domain right now, you will find it filled with insects, rodents, and perhaps some small reptiles." Juri nodded, "You accidentally absorbed their primal souls while using your normal Soul Strengthening Technique, and every time you absorbed one of them, your Soul force instantly increased by five or maybe ten units. That is a huge and sudden increase that any cultivator would be happy with."
"...The existence of these creatures is also a great blessing, as they live a complete life cycle and reproduce within your soul domain, the larger and more numerous they are, the more your soul force increases. So if there are several soul creatures within your soul domain, your soul force will keep increasing even if you never cultivate your soul again in your life!"
"And..?" Robin knew all of this.
"At your current level, it is already quite good absorbing the fragmented souls of reptiles and insects, but you went and absorbed something powerful enough to be an opponent!!" Juri shouted at him.
"What's the problem? I absorbed it perfectly, my power doubled and I can control it as I please." He was able to threaten the entire army of the Great Serpent Empire using Hoffenheim alone.
"Because you were lucky the first time you think you can break all the rules as you please?" Juri shouted at him, then extended her hand to separate him from Richard: "If you want to play with fire, play far away, don't drag my owner with you into the abyss."
"..." Robin looked at Yuri and then Richard, a strange situation where he felt like he wanted to take his son with him to get drunk and his mother was stopping him.
The Soul Filling Technique was one of Robin's greatest weapons, he could even dare to say that it was almost as important as the Spacetime Master Law! He could easily pass the technique on to Richard if he wanted to, they could simply step out of the planet's spirit domain and give it to him outside, but if there was even a slight degree of danger in it as she
says...
"Hmm? Evergreen is shaking my soul domain violently, it seems something has happened, I need to leave." At this moment, Robin slightly furrowed his brows, then looked at Richard, "Continue refining that lass, we'll talk later."
