Chapter 104: Holy Source Seed: Sylvan Soul Tree
Just then, while he was confused, he noticed a new panel, named the Territory Panel, that appeared following the upgrade of his profession to Lord Profession.
[ Territory Name: Sylvan Soul Kingdom (Sylvan Soul Tree)]
[ Territory Type: Soul/Virtual]
[ Territory Token: Unavailable]
[ Territory level: Tier 2 (Unopened)]
[ Territory Token Durability: Unopened]
[ Recruitable troops: Wood Spirits]
[ Number of recruits: 0/100]
[ Territory introduction: An unopened Soul Territory requires the Host to bind with the Territory Token to unlock the Territory: the Sylvan Soul Kingdom, and gain access to all its functions, similar to other Lords. However, if the durability of the Territory Token is depleted, the Lord will perish alongside it.]
[ Upgrade requirements: unknown.]
[ Lord's Talent: (Locked)]
[ Lord's Specialty: (Locked)]
[ Lord Skills: (Locked)]
Upon looking at the new panel, it started to make sense, but he was still left wondering where to find this Territory Token and unlock the full potential of his new abilities.
"Why is everything locked?" Ram sighed in frustration. It seemed like he had unlocked a whole new realm of power, functions like Lord skills, talent, and even specialty, but without the token, all of it remained out of his reach.
"Where the hell am I supposed to find this Territory Token?"
Ram stared at the Territory Panel, trying to make sense of it. There was a lot more going on than he expected, and it felt like he had only scratched the surface.
Firstly, the territory is named the Sylvan Soul Kingdom, and from the information provided, it can be confirmed that it is related to the Seed that Master Orion gave him.
"Hahaha," Ram laughed looking at the territory type, although he didn't fully understand how the real territory would be, just looking at the attribute was enough to make him happy.
The description told him that this wasn't an ordinary piece of land. This place was linked to souls and virtual, making it much more powerful and unique than regular territories.
Then [Territory Token] is the biggest problem. Without the Territory Token, the territory was locked up tight, and he couldn't access most of its features.
Worse if he never finds one, he won't be able to access any of these functions in the future.
Although the territory appeared to have reached Tier 2, he was still clueless about how to gain access.
According to the description, he could recruit Wood Spirits to defend the territory and fight for him, about a hundred of them, but since everything was locked, he couldn't make use of it until he unlocked the territory.
Curious to understand more, Ram immediately checked the details of the Seed. As he focused, a new holographic display appeared, revealing more information:
[ Holy Source Seed: Sylvan Soul Tree]
[ Type: Source Seed]
[ Level: Same as host]
[ Quality: Holy]
[ Attribute: Life/Soul/Wood]
[ Description: A seed born from the fusion of the seeds of the Life Spirit Tree and Astral Soul Tree, transformed into a Holy Source Seed through a special method.]
[ Holy Source Seed Characteristics:
1. As a Holy Source Seed born from both powerful entities it perfectly inherited the abilities of both the Life Spirit Tree and the Astral Soul Tree.
2. Gains additional functionality with every upgrade.
3. Binding the Holy Source Seed grants the host full access to all its abilities.]
[ Abilities: Life Spirit Tree]
[1. Life Spirit Body]: Converts the host's body into a Life Spirit Body, greatly increasing the host's capacity for Life Energy and Spiritual Power by tenfold, while boosting recovery rate by 300%.
[2. Kingdom Creation: Sylvan Soul Kingdom (Unopened)]: Upon activation, the Sylvan Soul Tree converts the host's Spiritual Realm into a virtual forest that becomes the foundation of the Sylvan Soul Kingdom. This forest spans across dimensions, rooted in both the material and spiritual realms.
[Effect]: The host becomes the Lord of the Sylvan Soul Kingdom, gaining the ability to expand and rule this virtual domain.]
[ Abilities: Soul Tree]:
[1. Soul Tree]: At the heart of the Sylvan Soul Kingdom, the Lord can summon the Soul Tree, a sacred tree that acts as a conduit for life and death.
[Effect]: The souls of those who die within or near the kingdom are absorbed by this tree, where they are nourished, healed, and can be reborn as Wood Spirits.
[2. Soul Tree Seeds]: Host can create seeds of the soul tree that are connected to the mother tree, which can be planted outside the Sylvan Soul Kingdom.
[Effect]: Souls absorbed by this Soul Trees are transported to the mother tree within a certain distance, depending upon the strength of the Sylvan Soul Tree.]
Looking at the holographic panel, Ram's eyes widened.
According to the description, the name of the seed was called the Sylvan Soul Tree, born from the fusion of two mystical seeds: the Life Spirit Tree and the Astral Soul Tree.
Ram heard some scattered details about the Life Spirit Tree, a legendary spiritual plant rumored to have been born from the Divine Spirit Tree.
It was a powerful source of life energy, capable of nurturing entire ecosystems with its vitality and spiritual power.
However, the Astral Soul Tree was completely unknown to him. He had never come across any mention of it.
The combination of "Astral" and "Soul" suggested some deep connection to the soul. But from its name, he could tell that it was no less powerful than the Life Spirit Tree.
Still, what truly puzzled him was how he had ended up with a seed made from the fusion of both these trees—plants of immense, possibly divine power.
Such a thing seemed beyond ordinary luck. It wasn't just an artifact of high value; it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a gift that could shape his destiny in unimaginable ways.
Ram stood there for a moment, gripping the edges of the holographic display, his mind confused as he muttered, "Master Orion, what the hell did you give me?" his voice tinged with awe and excitement.
He had already roughly guessed the extent of Master Orion's power after obtaining the Life Spirit Body through the seed, but now, considering the power and origins of the seed, his certainty wavered, he didn't know how to guess again.
Looking at the description, it is certain that the Sylvan Soul Tree is transformed into a Holy Source seed, by a special method.
He knew what a Source seed was, in fact, they entered this dangerous Void space just to get their hands on a source seed.
"Shit, I fused myself with a source seed that is higher level than an ordinary source seed," Ram cursed happily, with a wide grin on his face as he looked at the quality and type displayed on the holographic panel.
"From my understanding, Source seeds come in different forms such as seeds, weapons types, domain types, summoning types, or many others with unique unheard-of functions."
"Many of these functions possess capabilities that surpass even the talents humans can develop." Ram reflected, "An individual can only bond with one Source seed in their lifetime."
Although the Source Seeds are powerful, they are very rare, and you can only obtain one by destroying a D-level or higher-level monster den.
And no one can guarantee that the Source seed, acquired from destroying monster dens below 'A' level, may not be as powerful as they anticipated.
Given its scarcity and the intense competition among professionals to acquire it, many won't even have a chance of having one in their life.
However, he never knew that it was possible for someone to create a Source Seed, especially one that surpassed the level of an ordinary Source Seed.
Evidently, it was out of his imagination, combined with the attributes of Life/Soul and Wood.
He surmised that this source seed must be of a higher level, even when compared to other Holy Source Seeds.
Next, he concentrated on its unique abilities. The Sylvan Soul Tree, as described, seamlessly combined the powers of the Life Spirit Tree and the Astral Soul Tree.
"Perhaps I've exhausted all my life's luck in acquiring such a powerful Source seed with such ease," Ram mused.
With each upgrade, Sylvan Soul Tree seemed to gain new functionality, the same as binding two powerful holy source seeds at the same time. "I'm unsure of what I need to repay, for giving me such powerful Source Seed."
"Next time I meet him, I'll ask him directly." He didn't bother thinking much, his immediate priority was to escape from this Void Space before considering how to repay Master Orion.
He focused on the powers awakened from the Life Spirit Tree.
Though it appeared they were passed down from its parent trees, these abilities had evolved into something distinct, blending the strengths of both the Life Spirit Tree and the Astral Soul Tree to enhance one another.
First is the Life Spirt Body, which greatly increases the host's capacity for Life Energy and Spiritual Power by tenfold, while boosting the recovery rate by an additional 300%.
Although he didn't gain the 300% increase in recovery rate due to his inability to absorb Reiki, this also explained why his body was transformed by the Sylvan Soul Tree earlier.
"So, this is the reason why my profession was upgraded to Lord Profession," he thought, his heart racing as he checked the second function inherited from the Life Spirit Tree: [2. Kingdom Creation: Sylvan Soul Kingdom].
The Sylvan Soul Kingdom was not merely an ordinary territory; it was part of his own Spiritual Realm, transformed into a virtual domain existing across dimensions, anchored in both the material and spiritual worlds.
Who doesn't want to have a huge space of their own that can be carried with them all the time? He felt more than just happy just thinking about it, his own space, just like the protagonists from various novels he kenw of from Earth.
