Through his Emperor Eyes, he could basically see everything, which allowed Jason to understand that he was completely alone.
At least his proximity was void of beasts, but because he couldn't fully rely on his Emperor Eyes, Jason had to use Solaris' flame to better see the surroundings.
The black glow was not perfect to see something but the faint orange color within Solaris allowed him to see much more.
Apparently, the lesser origin flame was still not completely devoured, but that played into Jason's cards right now.
Despite the faint light, Jason found that it was not enough to see everything clearly.
Because of that, he accessed his spatial ring, trying to take out a staff that was engraved with many runes, completely covering the metal's dark blue tone.
However, Jason noticed that his entire body had suddenly become heavier and that he couldn't even move a single inch.
'Is that the gravitational force?' He wondered while circulating mana through his body, to force himself to move slightly.
It was difficult but easier than expected.
'The gravitational force is not as burdening as I expected from a planet several times larger than Argos...just where did I land?!'
Once he was able to move, Jason inserted a faint trace of mana into the staff he had taken out, while leading the faint black flame he had conjured, to its tip.
No sooner had he done this, a bright shining light emerged.

In fact, the staff was probably one of the strongest weapons at the Lique stage that Jason had procured from winning the bet inside the colosseum.
Despite having sold most items he had procured, he had kept the staff for himself because it had certain characteristics that were similar to a wand, only to be slightly different.
However, this slight difference made it much easier to produce the staff than a common wand as long as one had the necessary knowledge.
With a bright light that lit the surrounding, Jason was now sure that he was inside a cave.
Adding what he could see through his Emperor Eyes that were empowered with a vast amount of mana, it was easy to tell that the cave was deep under the surface, and not even a single living being was nearby.
On one hand, this was annoying because he had to find a way to the surface, but on the other hand, Jason couldn't help but smile brightly.
He was ignoring the fact that he had been forcefully pulled into the world bridge because his mind was already somewhere else.
'Thankfully, I didn't destroy my body only to escape the world bridge…' Jason sighed in relief as he sensed the density, purity, and vast amount of mana in his surroundings.
Even with his passive mana gathering technique active, he could easily replenish the mana he was using for his Emperor Eyes right now.
The broken world, let alone the mana vein in Cyro City were child's play against the mana he was sensing right now, which made Jason realise just how scarce the mana on Argos had been.
'As long as I can breathe, I'll be able to find a way out. There is enough food and water inside my spatial ring too, so I won't dehydrate or starve either!'
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})With that thought, Jason could only count a handful of disadvantages that his arrival in an unknown area on Manyr had brought forth.
The surrounding beasts could be extremely strong, even stronger than Wisse or anything Jason had ever seen in his short, yet adventurous life.
While this put him in a high-risk state, he could only be glad that there was not a single beast around him for now.
However, this reassuring thought actually made him wonder- just why there was no beast in his surroundings?
At the same time, Jason his mind kept drifting to his meeting with the Chaos dragon!
He had too many questions to ask her.
It was not even unlikely that she might have answers to the questions that had been haunting him, namely what kind of existence had sealed the Celestia bloodline while imprinting a fraction of its soul into his body!
With that knowledge, Jason could start to search for the mysterious beast in order to find clues about his grandparent's location.
Even if it was a little bit frustrating that this would have to wait, at least, Jason didn't have to waste time searching for Wisse's master, he knew that the Chaos dragon lived on Tagran.
According to Wisse, there should also be a world bridge on Manyr leading to Tagran, which meant that there might be people who knew about the location of said world bridge.
For now, his encounter with the Chaos dragon was only postponed.
He wasn't sure how long it would take before he finally met her, but that might not be a disadvantage either.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})The Chaos dragon could have ill intentions about him, and with his low cultivation base and strength, it shouldn't be difficult to manipulate him.
This was unlikely to be the case, but Jason was still of the opinion that it was much better to meet Wisse's master later when he would be much stronger than now!
'With the surrounding mana, I should be able to liquefy several drops of mana every day, that's quite good!'
Even though his mana drops were unique, and required triple the amount of mana to be compressed in comparison to normal liquefied mana drops, Jason couldn't help but feel that his calculation may be a little bit off.
The surrounding mana was rich in both quality and quantity on a level he had never felt before.
As such, he couldn't clearly estimate how high his cultivation speed could increase.
'Maybe, I should start learning a cultivation technique? Is it finally time?'
Jason had never required a cultivation technique because his mana absorption rate, as well as the liquefaction process, had been too fast and high for Argos' mana scarcity to cope with.
However, this seemed to have changed now which made Jason believe that he should start skimming through his spatial ring and look for a neutral cultivation technique.
There were many techniques Jason had, and he wanted to sell them if his funds were scarce, thus he stored almost all of them instead of burning them as he had previously planned.
This was a lucky happenstance that made him smile.
Nevertheless, Jason first had to figure out whether his current surroundings were safe or not.
His memories about the untraceable Drakes and the manaless poison were still clear as day in his mind, and he didn't want to face a near-death situation once again.
As such, he walked through the large cavern hall in which he was mercilessly dumped by the world bridge while doing two things.
The most important thing was to trace the energies in the surroundings and figure out if there were possible dangers from beings he could see with his Emperor Eyes.
After that, he observed everything he could see through the bright light that radiated from his staff.
Through this, he could be assured that there were no dangers in the surrounding, yet, Jason couldn't help but sense another disadvantage he had yet to balance out.
'I should definitely search for ways to see in the darkness...using Solaris as bright light would become more exhausting the stronger he grows.
Holding the staff as a means to cast a bright light, while having a tool to attack and defend myself is not the best idea either...'
Despite this though, Jason's first solution was to search for a beast that had good eyesight and could see well in little to no light. He planned to find such a beast and bind it to his soul.
However, Jason was not sure if he was ready to bind a new beast to his soul, and he had yet to find a beast that suited him as well.
Sighing, he continued to investigate the cavern hall, only to notice that there was nothing special, except the high amount of different energies around him.
Yet, at the same time, there was only a single tunnel leading somewhere which caused Jason to frown.
'Is that really the only way out?'
