Over the next few days, Jerry searched for Wood Attribute plants to channel Soul Power through.

He first channeled Ten Thousand Years of cultivation into Grass Grass. Grass Grass was finally able to communicate with Jerry, which delighted him. Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming were all astonished as well. Da Ming wondered if Jerry might be the reincarnation of a god.

Next, he transferred enough power to Manjusaka to bring it to 99999 Year, just a tiny bit short of Hundred Thousand Year. Then he brought Manjusaka to the Tribulation Crossing Ground. Before long, the lightning tribulation descended, and it passed through safely.

Jerry did not think much of it, but the Soul Beasts were collectively dumbfounded. This was enough to cultivate a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? It was utterly unbelievable, completely shattering everything the Soul Beasts knew!

After that, Jerry stopped letting the Soul Power Seed absorb Soul Power and began cultivating with all his strength. He had already been close to a breakthrough, so he directly reached level 49 a week later. Then, after another three months of cultivation, he reached level 50! He could finally absorb a Soul Ring!

Jerry had originally wanted to see whether he could absorb the Soul Power channeled through plants himself, but all of that Soul Power carried the plants' consciousness, making it impossible to absorb. The Growth Soul Skill could only convert that Soul Power into unconscious Soul Power and release it directly; it could not be retained within his body either. Jerry was like a pipeline tool, able only to transfer it, while the pipeline itself could not absorb anything!

Finally, upon reaching level 50, Jerry called over Manjusaka and had it sacrifice only its Soul Ring. It could be planted and grown again afterward!

However, Manjusaka told Jerry that aside from sacrificing its Soul Ring, it could also condense a Soul Bone. As for which kind of Soul Bone it would be, that depended on luck! After reaching Hundred Thousand Year, Manjusaka had also sensed the rules of this world. Even if Manjusaka revived in the future, grew to Hundred Thousand Year again, and sacrificed itself once more, it would be impossible for it to produce another Soul Bone. A Soul Beast could produce at most one Soul Bone in its lifetime. Plant-type Soul Beasts were a special case, able to leave behind seeds and live another life. Other Soul Beasts would simply die after sacrificing themselves!

Jerry asked whether that would affect anything in the future. Manjusaka said it would not. It was only that absorbing its own Soul Bone later would allow it to grow faster. With Jerry's empowerment method, though, having a Soul Bone or not made no difference!

With nothing left to worry about, Manjusaka began sacrificing its Soul Ring. A powerful surge of Soul Power soon flooded into Jerry. Only when he was nearly unable to bear it did the Soul Power begin to contract. Then the energy started flowing toward his Martial Soul, quickly condensing into a red Soul Ring! As expected, sacrificial Soul Rings were the easiest to absorb!

After absorbing the Soul Ring, Jerry felt that his Body Strength had increased to the maximum level it could currently withstand. The excess was stored within the Soul Ring and would slowly be released as he cultivated in the future! His Soul Power Level reached level 54. Jerry's Spiritual Power also received an enormous boost. The improvement brought by a Hundred-Thousand-Year spiritual-power Soul Beast Soul Ring was simply earth-shattering. The range of his Spiritual Power directly expanded to a radius of 1,600 meters, and Jerry felt that he could perceive far, far more minute details. When he concentrated, he could even sense the Soul Power Particles in the air: green, yellow, red, gold, transparent, black, Purple, cyan, white, and more. He quickly withdrew his spiritual world, and everything returned to normal!

Before Jerry lay a seed and a Soul Bone. Fortunately, it was a head Soul Bone. Just as Jerry reached for it, the Soul Bone suddenly flew in front of him, startling him badly! He quickly realized what had happened. This was telekinesis! Jerry was ecstatic. Of all the benefits from this breakthrough in Spiritual Power, gaining telekinesis was what made him happiest. Compared to that, even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone were nothing. He even wanted to find the Soul Beast world's forging master, the Vajra Iron-Eating Ant, right away and have it forge some Flying Daggers, Flying Swords, and the like!

Suppressing his excitement, Jerry examined the Soul Bone! It had two skills: Spirit Spear and Spirit Shield! He was about to absorb it when Da Ming stopped him!

"Jerry, don't absorb the Soul Bone yet. When you absorbed the Soul Ring earlier, your body had already been strengthened to the maximum degree it can currently endure. You need time to adapt before absorbing the Soul Bone. That way, it can strengthen you once more. If you absorb it now, the strengthening effect will be greatly weakened!" Da Ming explained to Jerry.

After hearing that, Jerry sensed his body. Every cell was already saturated, so it really was not suitable to strengthen himself now! He then put away the Soul Bone!
