Fate Soul Cultivation Method!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In the study, the brilliant white lights flickered. The powerful energy naturally radiating from Yang Yu's body was now affecting even the flow of electricity around him, making the lights flash on and off.

The books he had just tidied on the shelves were blown down by fierce winds. The pages of some books on the floor fluttered wildly, filling the room with a loud rustling!

Yang Yu murmured an incantation, his hands blurring as he formed one strange hand seal after another.

The black-covered Insect Codex before him opened as well, and a murky glow shrouded its pages. A strange strand of black energy stretched from the pages of the Insect Codex to the center of Yang Yu's forehead.

Deep within Yang Yu's mind, hidden memories were rapidly being unearthed.

Soon, passages of information on fate soul cultivation arts appeared within memory fragments encased in rainbow-colored bubbles, reflecting clearly in Yang Yu's mind.

"It worked."

Yang Yu opened his eyes, and his blurred hands came to a stop. Beads of sweat the size of beans dotted his forehead.

Those movements had lasted less than half a minute.

Yet the toll on his stamina had been astonishing!

With Yang Yu's current physique, even sprinting at over three hundred kilometers an hour for two hours would only drain some of his stamina. He would even be in better shape than he was now.

That alone showed just how much stamina he had expended in the past half minute, forming those hand seals to connect with the Insect Codex and search for fate soul cultivation arts!

"A fate soul cultivation method."

Without pausing to rest, Yang Yu's eyes shone with fervor. He immediately used inner vision to examine the memory fragments unearthed within him.

Within his internal world, Yang Yu's mind condensed into a single mass.

His aqua-blue spiritual form, enveloped in life energy, passed straight into a rainbow-colored memory fragment.

Blue light shone within that fragment.

The moment Yang Yu's mental energy entered it, he felt a wave of fresh, moist air wash over him!

The gentle, refreshing moisture soothed him to his core!

Whoosh!

A blue line of water coalesced high above. In the blink of an eye, the phantom of a heavenly scroll formed entirely from flowing blue water appeared before Yang Yu.

"This cultivation art is the Origin Water Soul Cultivation Art!"

A mighty voice rang out at that very moment.

A short while later, a brief introduction to the art imprinted itself directly into Yang Yu's mind.

The spiritual waters of heaven and earth nourished the soul.

This was a water-attribute fate soul cultivation method. Balanced and gentle, it was not particularly high-grade, but it offered safe, steady cultivation and was quite easy to begin practicing. In its later stages, water-attribute natural treasures could also be used to accelerate cultivation.

Yang Yu withdrew from the memory fragment.

"The Origin Water Soul Cultivation Art is safe and steady... but ultimately, it doesn't suit me." Yang Yu shook his head. "It's too mediocre. It may be easy to get started, but there's little room for growth later on... and the power it can unleash will be limited. That's not what I want." Muttering to himself, Yang Yu soon turned his attention to another memory fragment shimmering with rainbow light.

A short while later, Yang Yu withdrew from the second memory fragment.

"The Thick Earth Soul-Nurturing Art?"

"Still no. It's still not good enough... This method is only a little better than the Origin Water Soul Cultivation Art. At the same cultivation realm, it only produces twice as much fate soul. What's more, practicing it comes with all sorts of dangers, and its requirements for natural treasures are quite demanding. Who knows whether I could even gather all those materials on a tiny planet like Earth?"

Different fate soul cultivation methods produced different results.

Ordinary cultivation methods were judged by how effectively they trained the physique, increased bodily strength, and improved the explosive power unleashed in combat. Fate soul cultivation methods, however... were judged by how much they increased the total quantity of fate soul within the same cultivation realm!

The growth of a fate soul was like the accumulation of numerical units!

It could be measured in standardized units!

Within the same realm, people practicing different fate soul cultivation methods would have different results.

Take those who had only just begun cultivating their fate souls, for example.

Expressed in numbers, some might have a fate soul quantity of ten, while those practicing better methods might have twenty, thirty... or even forty or fifty!

Moreover, once fate soul cultivation began, it could never be changed!

It might be possible to switch fate soul cultivation methods after reaching a certain major realm, but the shortcomings in what one had cultivated would remain for life!

Thus, when cultivating a fate soul, the higher the grade of the method chosen at the outset, the better!

The higher the grade of that initial method, the more complete one's fate soul cultivation would be.

The foundation for future cultivation would also be firmer!

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind like meteors. Yang Yu shook his head. "This Thick Earth Soul-Nurturing Art counts as an upper-middle-grade fate soul cultivation method among the inherited information, but it still has plenty of flaws. Better nothing than something substandard. I won't cultivate it. Keep looking. On to the next."

"I may not have much else, but I can certainly afford to spend some time."

"I must choose the best fate soul cultivation method in the Insect Codex's inherited information." With his resolve clear, Yang Yu plunged back into the sea of information on fate soul cultivation methods, neither anxious nor impatient.

"The Soul-Devouring Netherworld Art!"

"The Baleful Soul Illustrated Record!"

"The True Flame Soul-Refining Art!"

Yang Yu read cultivation manual after cultivation manual, utterly engrossed!

Roaming through the information on fate soul cultivation arts was like swimming through an ocean of knowledge!

Time slipped by so quietly that he did not even notice!

During this time, Yang Yu's horizons broadened tremendously. He kept examining scroll after scroll of fate soul cultivation arts... Their quality varied, with the vast majority falling into the middle and lower grades. Upper-middle and high-grade arts accounted for less than twenty percent. The rarest were the exceptional-grade and supreme-grade arts.

Supreme grade was the strongest, followed by exceptional grade.

Yet some exceptional-grade fate soul cultivation arts had special effects. For instance, an exceptional-grade art that should have been quite difficult to practice might instead be safe and easy, far faster and more convenient than other methods of the same grade, while consuming fewer natural treasures.

Others produced extraordinarily resilient fate souls.

They made a cultivator's soul and mind as impregnable as iron walls. Later, supplementing them with special defensive Fate Soul Secret Arts would give cultivators who practiced such methods a tremendous advantage!

At last!

After reviewing all eighteen thousand nine hundred and fifty fate soul cultivation methods in the Insect Codex's inherited information, Yang Yu made his decision!

"You're the one!" Yang Yu swept his gaze across the fragments, and a seven-colored memory fragment shining with an unusually brilliant radiance flew toward him.

Under the gaze of Yang Yu's spiritual form, the seven-colored memory fragment split open completely, revealing its contents!
