After taking look at my system interface I smiled.

“Well it looks like I have attained the elemental seed of water.”

“The element of water huh? Well it is not the most destructive element or the rarest, but it is definitely the most versatile one.”

“So now that I have created my elemental seed, what is my next step?”

“You have to start absorbing raw elemental energy from nature to make your elemental seed sprout and the best way to do that is to start meditating.”

“And how do I do that, I don't have a meditation technique like you, or are you saying you’re going to share your meditation technique with me.”

“Unfortunately even if I wanted to share it with you it wouldn’t work. You have created an elemental seed of water and my meditation technique is of the earth element, so it wouldn’t work and even have some backlash.”

“So I just have to absorb elemental energy passively? Wouldn’t that be extremely slow and counterproductive?”

“You are entirely right in that conclusion, but...”

“But what?”

“From what I observed, your soul is now in a state of balance.

Usually when someone breaks their barrier and forms an elemental seed, their soul is at the most exhausted it can be and as a result when the soul barrier forms again the soul space is not enlarged by that much. In your case it’s entirely different, your soul was at its peak even after breaking the barrier making you extremely lucky.”

“Yeah, yeah and what's that got to do with me not having an elemental meditation technique?”

“You don’t need one.”

“But you just said...”

“Well in your case it’s entirely different.

Remember when I said you were lucky? I was just downplaying it really.

Normally when you break your barrier, it just comes back again in a short amount of time, enveloping your soul but this time it’s more malleable. Those that just completed seed formation don't usually have a tremendous boost to their soul but through meditation they raise it slowly until the new barrier can’t hold anymore soul force and it’s destroyed as well.

The way this happens is by absorbing raw elemental energy from the environment to feed your seed, so it can grow. When the seed grows and reaches the border of your soul and can’t grow any more it doesn’t stop but slowly and surely stretches the barrier surrounding your wall in turn giving you more soul force and also raising the rate of your elemental purification. The bigger your elemental tree is the faster you can purify the raw elemental energy and turn it into pure elemental energy that you are able to control and use.

With the state of your soul right now witch is at least 2 times bigger than before, even if you don’t have an elemental meditation technique and only just absorb passively you won’t be far behind someone who has one. Even if someone who has an elemental meditation technique can absorb raw elemental energy faster and grow his elemental seed faster they still waste a lot of time and energy to try to stretch their soul barrier.

You don’t have to do such a thing because your soul barrier is stretched to its limit, meaning you don't have to spend time to stretch it and only focus in growing your elemental seed.”

That was very good news, I didn't have an elemental meditation technique but the speed of my cultivation wouldn’t be slowed down one bit. I was happy but that wasn’t enough.

“Isn’t there any other way to increase my elemental absorption?”

“You are a greedy human being, aren’t you?”

I smiled.

“No, just a lazy one.”

“Well there is one way that definitely works. You just have to find a place where the elemental energy is more concentrated.

In this case because you’re elemental seed is of the water element I would recommend a river, lake, or even the sea.”

After the explanation from the monkey, I gave him what I promised and he went on his way.

I was very excited because I finally had stepped into the realm of impossibility.

That night I could hardly sleep thinking about all the ways I could use my new acquired power to fight my enemies in battle and win.
