"So His Majesty God Emperor had already planned ahead." He breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. Now he knew everything: "The Soul Sea—the source of the Ancient Cultivation Method!"
Pure Psionics needed complex processing before they could affect the soul, but the endless Soul Water in the Soul Sea was a natural tonic for the Soul Body, with no side effects or resistance. Most importantly, it was free. This was what had enabled the Empire to have a population so vast it was counted in the tens of quadrillions, while over 80% of its people had achieved Yang Godhood.
