First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231: Soul Path

Lumi floated near, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

[Master, your Sea of Consciousness is extraordinary, so this path suits you perfectly!]

Orion smiled gently, nodding. ’Exactly my thought. Let’s delve deeper.’

He turned the page to the section labeled <Branches of Spirit Arts>, noting carefully each of the categories.

"First, <Spirit Contracts>," Orion began, studying the beautifully illustrated diagrams of spirit sigils.

<Summoning and binding contracted beasts requires carefully crafting a Spirit Sigil within the Sea of Consciousness. Apparently, most practitioners can only manage up to three contracted beasts at their same level.>

Lumi tilted her head thoughtfully.

[Only three? But Master, your Sea of Consciousness is massive—surely you can handle far more?]

Orion chuckled lightly, nodding thoughtfully. ’Likely, but let’s not rush. The book specifically cautions against attempting to contract spirits beyond one’s capacity due to severe soul backlash.’

He continued reading: ’High-ranking practitioners can evolve or fuse their summons, although such practices are incredibly rare and difficult. The book provides detailed instructions on summoning a basic Spirit Contract suitable for practitioners up to Tier 3 Awakening Grade.’

Lumi hummed curiously, hovering close to the diagrams.

[Master, imagine contracting a powerful spirit—how amazing would that be!]

Orion smiled gently, eyes bright with anticipation. ’Perhaps soon, Lumi. Let’s master these basics first.’

Moving onward, he reached the second branch:

<Spirit Communication allows understanding and dialogue with all sentient beings, whether beasts, artifacts, ancient constructs, or even sealed souls. This ability is essential for calming spirits, negotiation, or uncovering lost knowledge.>

Orion paused, intrigued by the illustrated runic symbols representing the basic Spirit Language. ’So there’s a universal Spirit Language practitioners must learn. The book includes basic phrases and simple grammar structures necessary for preliminary communication. It’s fascinating.’

[Hehe, maybe you can talk with that Cow-Dragon directly, Master. But she seems to know the common language as well.]

Orion chuckled softly. ’She’s not a simple weapon spirit after all. But well, matters not. I will gestate my Realm Guardian’s spirit someday—it will come in handy then.’

Next came Spirit Sense. Orion’s attention sharpened, carefully absorbing the descriptions: <Practitioners can detect soul signatures, spiritual threads, hidden curses, or malicious intentions. Advanced users perceive even residual emotions or lingering echoes from the past.>

Orion thoughtfully murmured, ’This... this could be quite useful regarding Seraph. Not only to know if she has a curse or not, but also to know her emotions.’

Lumi nodded enthusiastically.

[You’d see through her right away, Master!]

Thinking about a few things for a moment, Orion continued onward to Soul Techniques, noting immediately the caution in the author’s tone:

<These arts directly impact an opponent’s soul—examples include Soul Pierce, Dream Bind, Karma Burn, and Echo Slash. Such techniques are devastating against cultivators who neglect proper soul defenses. Yet practitioners must first ignite the Life Fire within the Sea of Consciousness before safely practicing even basic Soul Techniques.>

Orion paused briefly, his expression serious. ’So this is what Grandma meant by Life Fire, huh? Looks like it’s quite dangerous. I’ll ask her for advice later.’

Finally, he reached Spirit Imbuement. His eyes lit up, fascinated by the possibilities outlined:

<Spirit Artists collaborate with Runesmiths to create Spirit Weapons—items with their own consciousness, self-growth potential, memory retention, and emotional bonds. Without Spirit Artists breathing ’life’ into them, these weapons remain mere tools.>

Lumi clapped her hands excitedly.

[Master, that would be incredible! A weapon that can grow and evolve alongside you!]
