Summoning Grimoire acquired the skill '[Heaven's Connection]'.

Heaven's Connection Passive Created a constant connection to Heaven. The [Inner World] is now recognized as a part of the planet as an special independent space and can absorb energy outside. (The higher the number of Spiritual Vein inside and its rank, the faster the absorption of the energy.) Restriction(s) : The thickness of energy can only be two stages higher than the user. The excess energy then will be used for expanding the [Inner World]'s space.

The moment the [Gate] close and the notification appear on Cole's eyesight, the [Summoning Grimoire] close and some changes occur on its covers. Some indescribable lines appear on it like a tree's roots. The process only lasted for only a minute before those lines started to vanish one by one and return on its original appearance. Only, the equipment looks more beautiful and glossier than before.

Cole look at the [Summoning Grimoire] excitedly and he shake Celia to wake her up from her stupor while he silently chanted [Gate] and open a portal leading inside the [Inner World].

Celia jolted and recover from her shock and is greeted by her smiling Master and the blurred [Gate].

"Come on! We have to check the improvement inside the [Inner World]!" Cole beacon Celia excitedly.

Without further a do, Cole enter the [Inner World] while Celia follow immediately.

The whole space didn't change much. The most apparent improvement was the continuous thickening of available energy inside. Eventhough it was just a second after the new improvement, the energy already improve by small degree.

Meanwhile, the Spiritual Spring was located beside the Messiah Tree, and there was a swimming two blue fish on it. It was Pisces. It was apparent that Pisces like the Spiritual Spring very much. It was because that water was literally a rich, liquefied energy, and for an Elemental Spirit just like them, that Spiritual Spring water was greatest treasure for them.

"The energy inside is getting richer and richer every minute!" Bell appear and exclaimed excitedly to Cole.

Cole smile and answered, "Yep." He then pointed at the Spiritual Spring and said jokingly, "Now, go on. Soak and cultivate in their too before Pisces use all of them."

Bell immediately fly fast toward the pond, fearing that treasure will be absorb by Pisces if she's second more delayed.

Cole laughed inside specially when he saw Bell's expression. What she didn't know that it was only a small joke. The energy that small pond contain was enough to send one beast to Tier-7; if Pisces managed to absorb it all, he'll be more than happy.

Sadly, they were still inhibited by their Soul Contact and their strength should be the same with their Master.

Cole can't help but ask the busy voice in his head who called himself the Chaos System; "System, do you have any solution?"

Series of notification immediately appear on his eyesight;

Searching solution... Search complete.

Best solution : Due to Myriads Beast Soul-Branch Technique, the host's soul was as powerful as Ninth-Level Core Formation-Stage cultivator. Do you want to release the restriction and set to another? (Possible upto Ninth-Level of Core Formation-Stage) [Caution : Has a great chance to overpower host's soul and contracted creatures may sever the Soul Contract.(non-soul bounded)]

Tips : Soul Bound Beast who form a Soul Fruit with host can have one-stage higher cultivation due to much deeper connection. Host have to do this manually. (Soul Fruit represent the deep connection of the tamer and the contracted beast.)

Cole look at the series of words in his eyesight and analyzed them thoroughly.

First, he already have an hunch that his soul was more powerful than his cultivation. But due to his lack of knowledge, this was the first time he know of this.

After he read this first part, he almost answered 'yes' but it occurs to him that he should read all of them first before he made a decision.

And after he read the 'tips', it was the time that he literally open his mouth hanging.

This... If he know this from the start and use it to Shelly and Celia, then, what will their strength should be now?

Ahh!!! Cole scream internally. Is this the problem of not having a Master who will guide him from cultivation and cultivating and learning by himself?

Cole didn't bother to check the other solution and immediately answer "Always set the Soul Contract restriction one level lower from my highest soul strength.'' on his head.

Command completed.

Something click on both Cole's and his unbounded beast's soul, which include Bell, Groot, Coal, Blue, and Pisces. Those who already have peak First-Level of Tier-3 immediately made a breakthrough, and they were Bell, Groot and Pisces.

Fierce wind was produced by the momentum of the simultaneous breakthrough of his three contracted beast.

However, eventhough only three of his tamed beast show the sign of breakthrough, the feedback on his soul was different as he received four. And that fourth one was the one on his side, Celia. She made a smooth and quiet breakthrough to Second-Level. And moments later, much to Cole's surprise, Celia's aura still continue to rise that ten minutes later, she made another breakthrough to Third-Level and another one after twenty minutes. In just thirty minutes, Celia made a three breakthrough and it only stop at the peak of Fourth-Level of Tier-3. It only needed another one push and she will breakthrough to Fifth-Level.

After thirty minutes, a sweet smile appear on Celia's face.

"What happen?" Cole can't help bust ask.

"The cultivation of us beasts depends greatly on our bloodline. For instance, a beast with Heaven-Rank bloodline won't have any problem when reaching Tier-5 to Tier-8. They won't encounter any bottleneck. They only need to accumulate energy and all the other process will be left out with the body, the bloodline. However, reaching beyond that stage will be ten times harder." She paused, "That is also why most of us beast considered our bloodline a blessing, and at the same time, a curse."

"As for me, since I have Divine-Rank bloodline, I won't have any difficulties in cultivation in Mortalhood Realm. And since the restriction on our [Soul Contract] had somehow loosen, I can continue making a breakthrough as long as I accumulate energy needed for each level and stage."

Cole nodded after he received all the new information from Celia. But base on her words, it seems that their [Soul Contract] basically hinder her road. A frown immediately etched on Cole's face when that sad truth pass his mind.

Celia immediately feel the plummeting mood of her Master. And without him saying anything, Celia knew, more or less, the reason. She immediately make herself float and caressed the frown on his face and said, "Hey, hey, don't ever think that you hinder me from gaining more strength and is blocking my path. If not because of you in the first place, I maybe just another insignificant Green Poison Snake, waiting to be eliminated from the law of the jungle. You are the one who gave me what I have and I am today and I am more than happy, even with all the restrictions."

Cole listen intently to Celia's lengthy speech, and from the very start until the end, he felt and saw the sincerity within it.

Cole suddenly enclose Celia in a tight hug. "Thank you." He said solemnly.

Celia felt surprise for a moment before she also hug him back and smile. And on the inside, she also felt relief. Her Master almost make his own Heart Demon. Fortunately, he overcome it or else...

Cole was just hugging Celia when he felt that someone landed on his head, on his shoulder. He also felt that there was someone encircling in top of his head and the ground tremors slightly as he knew that Groot was also walking towards him.

Cole look at Groot, Coal and Pisces and smile at them and gave them each one a pat. Of course, he also pat the little creature on his shoulder and on his head.

"Thank you, everyone." He said with a smile on his head. His tamed beast then show their each unique reaction.

Moments later, Cole chanted, "[Gate]" and said to his beast, "Allright we have work to do. We have to excavate all the Spirit Stone on the other side of the portal."

All of his beast nodded enthusiastically and all enter the portal except for Groot. Due to the small size of the underground mine, Groot's gargantuan size can't be accommodated. Instead, Groot uses his roots and use it to mine from the inside.

Half a day later, they finished the task and excavate all the available Spirit Stones.

Spirit Stones contains energy that it absorb from the Spiritual Spring emits. It was a natural treasure of Heaven and Earth that equivalent to Energy Pills. Spirit Stones could help cultivator to replenish used energy and it could also assist in cultivation.

Cole smile bigly when he look at the hill of Spirit Stones. All in all, they made quiet a harvest. They procure a total of 104 Tier-4 Spirit Stones, 2,078 Tier-3 Spirit Stones, 10,324 Tier-2 Spirit Stones, and 30,568 Tier-1 Spirit Stones. He didn't know yet what is the other use of these so called Spirit Stones but the fact that it contains an energy and can be use for cultivation was an enough reason for Cole to feel happy while looking at it.

It was not just Cole who look at pile of Spirit Stones happily, even his beast and spirits. They could feel that each of those Stones contains energy, even the instinctual beast could feel that they were important. Only, they don't put much on it since they have the Spiritual Spring that was way more better. Maybe this Spirit Stones will be only used after they finished the spring.

Still, gazing at the treasure was a very nice activity. And Celia enjoyed it the most. She thought that it was no wonder that Dragons like to live in a cave full of treasures. It runs through their veins.

Cole gazed at the sky of the [Inner World]. The sky was just an illusion. Although there was a sun, moon, and day and night cycle like of the outside, it was not all real. However, this time, there was now an cluster of clouds. And those clouds was not a normal one, on the contrary, those clouds was made of rich attributeless energy.

Cole sighed heavily. This trip of theirs in the Flowerhead Forest was a fruitful one so far. It brought a great improvement to their strength and to the [Inner World] specially.

There is only one thing left to do. They have to visit the black hole space below the Flowerhead Forest center tree.
