Chapter 179: Chapter 179- Learning the [Soul’s Timeless Archive]

"The reason why I picked this technique is because it is a Soul skill" Just as Amon said, Yang Chen noticed that the Soul’s Timeless Archive was not a battle skill, but rather a Soul skill.

"The reason why it costs less than the other skills on the list is precisely because it is a Soul skill. Compared to the number of Battle Energy practitioners, the number of Soul energy Cultivator are much less"...

"It is mainly because anyone, even a person with the least amount of talent can train in battle energy. However, to train in Soul energy, one needs to be born with a talent for it and only then can one sense it. Soul energy is formless, colourless in the early stages and unlike the battle energy, one needs a special cultivation technique to even begin sensing it"

Amon explained, then he pointed at Yang Chen’s chest and continued "Brat, you should have an inkling of what I am talking about since you have already sensed the Soul energy. That’s right, the energy that you used inside the tower, the grain size element located near your heart is the soul energy"...

"Normally, with your previous ordinary constitution, it was impossible for you to possess the talent to cultivate the soul energy. That is why I never mentioned it before. However, the Extreme Evil Nihility Body is different, because of it you now possess the qualification to cultivate Soul energy"...

"Previously, you opened a diary that contained the knowledge and intent of a supreme expert that the system parsed into a skill. Thanks to that, you started sensing the soul energy. You must have also noticed that your [Character] window now has an additional field called the Soul skill. That is for skills like this one".

Yang Chen nodded his head. Everything finally made sense, why there was this colourless formless energy beside the battle energy inside of him and why the cost of [Soul’s Timeless Archive] was less than the other skills.

It turned out that it was a Soul skill that only the cultivators of soul energy could practice. Should he say that he was lucky to have opened that Diary?

Reading the knowledge of Alchemy left behind by the Great Sage Emperor had unknowingly opened a whole new world for him, it allowed him to sense the soul energy. However, what does alchemy have to do with soul energy? Could it be...

"That right, to practice Alchemy one needed to be a soul cultivator. This is also why all Alchemists are soul energy cultivators because they need the delicate and precise nature of the soul energy to control and create pills. Although it’s possible to form low tier pills using battle energy, to refine higher tier pills one needs to be a soul cultivator"

Amon answered, reading the doubts in his mind.

So that was the case, no wonder he was able to sense soul energy after reading that diary. Yang Chen was sure that it was also written in the alchemy books of the Great Sage Emperor, it was just that he had only read the first volume which had the rudimentary knowledge.

Yang Chen finally had his doubts cleared. Since that was the case, he did not hesitate and was just about to buy the soul skill, when Amon stopped him.

"Halt for a second there brat"...

"What is it?"

Why was he stopping him, could there still be something that he hadn’t said yet? Just as Yang Chen wondered that, Amon posed a question.

"Are you really set on practising soul energy?"

What kind of question was that?

"Before you buy that skill, listen to me first. The reason why I stopped you at this point is because I need to tell you something" Amon’s voice sounded serious which was unusual for him.

"Soul energy is different than Battle energy, you might be able to practice it. However, you won’t be able to enjoy the support of the system. That is to say, you won’t be able to level up your soul cultivation the way you do when practising battle energy"...

"Without the system aid, you would have to follow the standard method of this world and cultivate just like all the other soul cultivators of this world. Of course, it is not because the system is unable to support soul energy but because doing so would increase the strain on Greedvil system"...

"The system had used up most of its power while transmigrating with you. And thanks to certain someone creating their own death flag, even the residual power was used up during the last reinstallation. Currently, Now, the Greedvil system needs a very long time to restore all that energy"...

"It is not possible for the system to support two branches of energy at the same time. It might lead to some unknown errors or might even cause the system to shut down. This is why, I said that you won’t be able to enjoy the support of the system. Of course, you will be able to enjoy the other features of the system as usual like the [Shop] and [Character] and the other options that unlock in the future. Knowing all this, do you still want to practice soul energy?".

Amon glanced at the silent Yang Chen who looked like he was at a crossroads and unsure of what he should do.

’I guess it was too much for him to take at once. Knowing that the system won’t aid him must have been a great shock for him. I guess, he won’t choose the soul skill after all’

Just as Amon thought that and prepared to erase the option of the soul skill from the list, Yang Chen raised his head up and started straight at the demon’s eyes.

"Is it strong?"...

"Huh?"...

For a second there Amon thought like he was hearing things.

"Is the soul energy strong?"

Did the brat really ask him that of all things? Amon was disarrayed for a second there.
