Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest Chapter 2062: Cultivation Methods

-----

Elayne was slightly taken aback by the sudden flood of notifications. It seemed that the requirements for whatever came next had not even been completely fulfilled, yet some kind of error had occurred that allowed her to bypass them entirely. She had absorbed that Class Changing Stone earlier by literally eating it and making it part of her soul. Could it be that doing so had somehow given her a special "Key" capable of bypassing the normal requirements? It was certainly a relief. Those requirements had been growing a little ridiculous lately.

However, this time she did not even receive a list of Druidic Circles to choose from. She was left wondering what would actually happen if she pressed [Yes]. Feeling slightly afraid of the unknown outcome, she decided to leave that decision for later and instead turned her attention toward Mark. She moved toward him after watching him unleash that amazing and destructive attack.

"Wow, that’s amazing, Mark!" Elayne clapped her hands as she walked closer. "But you need to control your power better and calm down. The souls are suffering. That’s not what we do."

"..." Mark nodded slowly. He closed his eyes and gathered his resolve once more. The trapped souls were quickly purified instead of being burned to death, and they disappeared peacefully while the corpse remained burnt on the floor. "Sorry. It’s still only a prototype of something I am trying to discover about myself."

"I see. It is similar to the power we drew upon back home, right? The kind that works without relying on the System at all. It was true Cultivation!" Elayne said with growing interest. "But you’re mixing it with other elements as well."

"Yes," he nodded. "Well, you’ve also developed your own Cultivation Methods, right?"

"I do..."

Elayne took a moment to check her full list of Cultivation Methods in order to refresh her mind. As an Undead, her brain was... literally rotten in places, so it sometimes had a hard time recalling every detail without assistance.

Netherworld Nature Soul Commuting was the one she had created herself. It was a beautiful cultivation method that reconnected her to the unique "nature" of the Netherworld and granted her a power that existed beyond the System’s normal limits.

Divine Soul Spirit Root Branching allowed her to expand her soul into crystallized roots that branched outward across her Domain. This gave her the ability to grow her divine power further and create a new crystallized tree within the Domain itself.

Earthly Spirit Ring was a precious gift from the "Giantess" of her Dreams. It was a ring formed of pure Earth Essence that reconnected her more clearly with the essence of life while also allowing her to manipulate stone and soil with greater precision than before.

Spirit Blossoming was a power that Gardenia had inherited and that Elayne had also obtained through their bond. It was the ability to bloom spirits from plants once more — or rather, the deeper understanding of how to create spirits or birth them from the gathered spiritual essence of nature.

Rotten Flesh Strengthening Method was an archaic yet still very useful cultivation method that many zombies employed to strengthen their decaying flesh. By constantly infusing the flesh with dense nether energy, it became tougher and tougher until it could even surpass the durability of certain metals.

Bone Reinforcement Ritual was a special ritual, just as archaic as the previous method. Skeletons used it specifically to reinforce their bones and stop them from being so brittle or weak compared to zombies, who had both bone and flesh supporting one another. It followed similar teachings and paths of enlightenment.

Phantasmal Soul Consciousness Method was an ancient ritual focused on the careful analysis of one’s own soul and the nether energy in the surroundings. By allowing the soul to "decay" through nether into ghostly and phantasmal energy, a practitioner could expand their soul beyond the normal boundaries and limits of mortality. This process expanded the mind, accelerated thought processes, and increased the power a soul held over physical matter itself.

White Ghostly Mist Consciousness Method was the unique cultivation method shared with her by Blank’s family. It was the power to forge the White Ghosts Mind, which expanded outward as an endless and relentless white mist. It was a rather mysterious power that had ended up stacking with her previous methods to create an even stronger combined art.

And lastly there was the Dual Dream Nightmare Heart Essence Circulation Method. This was the art of crystallizing dream energy and creating a true Dream Heart. Dream energy itself was the manifestation of memories, imagination, and the collective fantasy of a massive conglomeration of consciousnesses spread across the universe. Even after reaching Grand Perfection, Elayne still struggled to push this method any further.

No... rather, she had been struggling to push all of these methods further for some time now!

Still, she was glad that Mark was beginning to create his own unique cultivation methods as well.

"I’ve been focusing too much on Skills again," she sighed quietly. "I guess I should also return to proper cultivation. I keep thinking that levels and tiers are all that matter, but that is wrong. Jester himself was wrong about that. The Cultivation of one’s body and soul is the most important path... but I am a slow person. It takes me more time than others to make progress, and I really, really hate that about myself, hahah."

"I understand how you feel," Mark nodded with genuine empathy. "But don’t worry. I am sure that you will be able to find something new soon. We can cultivate together and discover new arts to help both of us grow stronger."

"Ahem!" Blank interrupted them suddenly. "I am well aware of your current lack of deeper cultivation methods, Elayne. I plan to teach you more of them as well. Did you truly think that the ’White Ghostly Mist Consciousness Method’ was the only art we White Ghosts prided ourselves on? Our great ancestor, the Venerable of our race, created many powerful arts! Here. I was originally planning to give this to you another day, preferably one when we could be alone together, but I suppose... if you were that desperate for new methods, you should have simply said so earlier."
