Jason knew that several days had passed when he finally regained consciousness.
Forcing his heavy eyelids to open, he took a while to adjust to the sight above him.
After a while, when his vision stopped being blurry, he stared at the wooden ceiling above him with a faint smile on his lips.
What he had perceived first was that Solaris was still alive.
This was the most important to him as he, Solaris, and the two young Elite from Yinar had been the most endangered.
From the way, Jason felt it seemed that Jennifer was doing fine as well as he sensed the stigma on her neck.
It was faintly connected to him owing to the fact that his secondary bloodline awakening had engraved it onto her.
Knowing that all his loved ones were safe, Jason could take a breath of relief though it was quite weird.
'If I recall correctly none of the young Elite of Yinar should have been heavily injured. Doesn't it mean that I'm done with searching for one main ingredient to initiate my True Soul awakening?'
Jason clearly recalled the rewards he was supposed to receive, whether it was from the mission hall or Elder Ben.
As such, the number of Soa crystals he ought to receive was more than enough for everything Jason planned to do.
Because of that, even his overly exhausted and sore body couldn't hold Jason back anymore as he smiled foolishly.
During the last few days, his body must have recuperated a lot because every single muscle in his body had gone numb.

Thus, he slowly tried to get up from the comfortable bed he had been lying in.
His senses were still a little bit muddled, but Jason could still move properly.
Circulating faint traces of moonlight mana through the body, he eased the tension accumulated within his coiled muscles while tending to the weariness within him.
Stretching his body, Jason felt a bone or two crack and knew that this was badly needed because every single movement felt stiff.
This caused him to frown lightly, only to start with a light workout in order to 'wake up' his body from the tiredness and get rid of the fatigue.
Oddly enough, not a single movement of his felt painful which made him wonder how strong his recuperation capabilities had reached after the second bloodline awakening.
From the way he saw it, normal Ascendion stage Cultivators wouldn't be able to circulate divine energy through their body.
Even if they mixed it with their respective cultivation energy, using a ratio of 1 to 10 or higher, it would still be impossible for them.
As such, Jason's reckless action to use pure divine energy went on without any issues just because of his Celestia bloodline and his strong constitution.
It made Jason feel great, but at the same time, he felt momentarily confused and unsure of how much time had passed.
He could feel that it had been a few days, but even his soulbonds were not aware of the exact date.
Fortunately, this was no issue as Jennifer entered the room only half an hour later, at the perfect timing.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Jason had just finished his workout and was just about to freshen up and change his clothes into something dry and comfortable.
His naked upper body was revealed to her, but Jason only noticed her a few moments later as he had been looking at his reflection in the mirror.
There, he saw the little scar on the lower part of his back, clearly recalling that one of the Mid Ascendion stage wandering souls had struck him there.
In fact, it had been one of the scorpions with a three-meter long tail that had pierced into his back with its stinger.
However, instead of being poisoned, he had only bled severely.
This was likely to have been the Scorpion's special trait; to cause lethal bleeding.
Unfortunately, this lethal bleeding had not severely harmed Jason, whose body had instinctively protected the affected area of his body, forcefully halting its bleeding with the use of the divine energy it replenished.
Adding the healing capacities of his body, bloodline, moonlight mana, and the God's Halo that had many functions that were still a mystery to Jason, it was only obvious that the lethal bleeding wouldn't cost him his life.
Nonetheless, the small scar annoyed him a little bit because even the severe burns he had received several years ago during the incident in which Scorpio had sacrificed his life had healed without leaving behind a single mark.
And that was during a time in which he had been weak and powerless!
Jennifer was able to see his discontent, but that was not something she could be bothered about at the moment.
Instead, she rushed to him and hugged him tightly which astonished Jason, who just noticed that Jennifer had entered the room.
"You're finally awake!!!" She shouted while sobbing lightly.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})This caused Jason to be speechless for a moment as he wondered how long he had been unconscious.
Her words and demeanor made him feel a bit confused and surprised, and Jason could only caress her hair lightly, as he had no idea what to answer her.
Yet, just as he was about to hug her back, all five of his soulbonds emerged from the soul world before rushing towards him.
Petri, in his small form, squeezed between Jennifer and Jason, before deciding to coil himself around both of them.
Through this, he bound them together, only to hiss out in joy clearly expressing his feelings to the couple.
Meanwhile, Artemis had attempted to find a spot between the two of them too.
However, her efforts were more inclined towards separating the two as she squeezed herself between their chests.
Thus, both Jennifer and Jason's faces got buried in Artemis' soft plumage.
On the other hand, Sira simply climbed on top of Jason's head, before lying down there.
As for Spyro and Solaris, they adjusted their shape in order to find a place to cling to Jason.
Turning into a small blazing bracelet, Solaris' enveloped Jason's left arm, while Spyro turned into a silver gleaming bracelet, tightly hugging his right arm.
If Jason were to see this, he would be amazed because both shapeless soulbonds of him were taking on a solid form.
This was something they had already done beforehand, but if he were to momentarily ignore the fact that they were living beings, even their mana and spirit force fluctuations wouldn't make anyone think of them as beasts.
Achieving such kind of concealment in front of Jason's Emperor Eyes was amazing, to put it simply.
In fact, it was exceptional and something Jason had never expected to see from his soulbonds.
After all, they didn't have a specific trait that allowed them to conceal themselves.
Rather, each of his soulbond radiated strong energy currents owing to their powers.
None of his soulbonds was normal after all!
Their racial limits were unknown to him, but Jason was already noticing a few things about his soulbonds.
He felt as if their personality was slowly developing as all of them had gained a trace of intelligence, and possibly even more than just a trace.
Thus, he was quite interested in their future development, and when they would reach their respective racial limit.
At that time, Jason would have to think of something new to do in order to allow all of his soulbonds to continue growing just as he was.
It did not bother him that they would become as powerful as he was, but from his past experience with Scorpio, the worst that could happen was that one soulbond would feel that he was left behind, and somehow end up like Scorpio whose last wish was to be useful to him!
He never wanted to experience something similar to Scorpio's case ever again.
Thus, Jason would have to figure out a way to allow Solaris to evolve into a Tier-2 origin flame as quickly as possible.
After all, Solaris was the soulbond that would reach its limit the quickest, and relatively soon compared to the others!
