How long had passed Seth wasn't sure, all he knew was to absorb qi from the surroundings.
After breaking into the general level, Seth faced no hiccups as he moved past the different stages, going from the gas stage to the liquid stage and then to the solid stage.
It was at the solid stage that Seth found himself unable to progress any further.
Seth had thought that was his limit for the time being, so he had gone back to the crystals to continue absorbing their energy, and then to his surprise, just like the first time, Seth found himself entering another breakthrough after some time.
"So the stronger my soul the more levels I can break into. I wonder how far I will go if I can completely heal my soul."
With this thought in mind, Seth's desire to know his limits and reach the peak of his current potential burned within him, and with gusto he focused on cultivating.
As a cultivator, cultivation was meant to be one's daily bread, a hobby, and somewhat of an addictive routine, but for Seth, cultivating was almost like a foreign activity for him.
In all his life, this was the longest he had ever cultivated, and though he found his body getting a little stiff as he spent his time filling up his dantian, the sweet feeling that coursed through his body each time it achieved this had Seth forgetting the annoying pain.
Like this Seth found himself continuously breaking through seamlessly till he finally arrived at the 6th stage solid general level.
This stage of cultivation was the point just before the Kaiser level and Seth found himself a little bit anxious as he filled his dantian once more.
Minutes passed, and the close to an hour, Seth's dantian which had been hungrily sucking up qi began slowing down, about to be filled.
Seth could feel the quantity of qi within himself, and just thinking about the amount of power he could summon at the moment left him nearly drooling.
Thoughts of the several attacks he could pull off now that he had a spirit sense had Seth's body itching for action and soon Seth found his dantian begin rejecting the qi being sent to it, a sign that it was full.
That he could no longer break through did not worry Seth, after all the next level was the Kaiser level and there was a reason why Treuchi and even Aimy who apparently used shortcuts could only reach it in their hundreds.
Seth knew breaking into the Kaiser level needed a type of comprehension and this was the main obstacle that held cultivators back for even hundreds of years Alice a prime example.
Though the woman had been able to use medicine and pills to jack herself all the way to the 6th level general, she had been unable to even enter the Kaiser level despite all her years of living.
With his enlightenment sphere, Seth had no fear about breaking through, and so had planned to seek a bit of guidance in the nearest feature.
With the dantian having told him that it was full and that Seth was in his peak form, Seth moved to stand up, but then a familiar feeling asking him to go further appeared, and without a thought, Seth grabbed onto it.
It was only a second later that Seth realized he had initiated another breakthrough, but before he could ponder on how he was even able to breakthrough again, his head was hit by a stinging pain.
So far Seth's breakthrough had been painless and without incident so he was completely caught off guard.
With his head in his hand, Seth silently groaned in pain, and then he felt his dantian once more kick into action and begin spinning.
Despite the pain in his head, Seth kept conscious of the things that were happening to him, but as seconds passed he found his conciseness narrowing as if it was being swallowed.
A bit of panic settled within Seth as he felt himself slipping away. He struggled with all his might to hang on to his consciousness, but it was all for naught as without pause, Seth was claimed by a sudden darkness.
For a time all Seth could observe around him was darkness, and in this darkness, he could clearly think.
Seth had no idea how much time had passed, and he couldn't help but feel worried for his body.
He tried everything to get out of the thick darkness, even trying to enter his soul space, but nothing worked, and in the end, he could only give up and remain in the darkness.
It felt like forever before all of a sudden the darkness was washed away and Seth found himself looking at every inch of the underground cave.
Right till the deep crevices of the cave and even surprisingly a waterfall at its far end, Seth clearly saw them all.
Seth saw Irene and Aimy standing a distance away from him, their genuine worry-filled face making him sigh before he then brought his vision back to his body.
It was as Seth came back to his body that he realized that the waves of his soul sense were actually coming out of his dantian.
"So I was swallowed by my dantian," Seth thought.
With his soul sense, Seth watched his dantian continue running his qi through his body in several cycles.
With each cycle, Seth felt his qi penetrate into his flesh and with time his bones.
Locked in his dantian Seth couldn't exactly feel the change in his strength but he had great expectation for it, seeing as bits of his soul were being added to it.
Time went by and the process, got boring, but Seth could only persevere till eventually his dantian came to a stop, and his soul was released back into his body, his once closed eyes soon blinking open.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha" Seth suddenly began laughing.
The feeling of having his soulsense which he had once lost was nothing but bliss.
As he laughed, he released it once more, sweeping through the cave with tyranny, but letting the two sisters off the hook.
This was now Seth's new peak of power, he was now a 7th stage gas Kaiser level cultivator, now possessing soul sense.
Seth could feel the strength of his current soulsense, and without a doubt, he knew that it surpassed his previous one and this was when he hadn't even completely fixed his soul.
Seth felt excitement at the thought of his new strength, itching to use it, but then his excitement got doused when he realized he might actually face the problem of lacking an opponent once more.
