Eternal Primordial: Tragic Soul United

"Father, there may be another issue as well, if mana channels are not meridians then there could be future circulation problems." Said Alma

" Well let's handle one problem at a time, first I'll absorb some mana to feel out the mana channels and see if they happen to be a set of meridians." Replied Horo

Horo then sat down in a lotus meditation position, as it is a habit he just picked up from being a cultivator in another life, he then began to try to absorb mana from the atmosphere.

It was extremely difficult to absorb the ambient mana, he didn't know why it was so, but he was still able to get a slight feeling of the mana channels but he didn't think it was enough to be certain where all his channels were truly located. 

He then heard Alma " Maybe you should try using skills with mana that should do it. "

"Ahh right" said Horo before he began to spam basic skills using mana as fuel instead of negative energy, which  is what he used before being able to absorb mana." 

That's when he felt it, It felt like completely different pathways in his body he'd never used before no matter what power system he thought of. 

"Wow, it's a totally different feeling using skills with negative energy and mana. With negative energy it's like I can instinctively use the skill due to practice and training and it just gets coated in negative energy if I want to make it more powerful. Also it's not compatible with every skill." Said Horo

Before he could continue Alma spoke, "Yes, with mana compatibility doesn't matter, it's totally different it's like the skills are imprinted within your body and mana travels through your mana channels to supply the skill, you can also control the output of the skill by supplying it with more mana. I also suspect you would need better quality mana to supply higher grade skills." 

"No wonder that explains my task. I wonder where do these tasks and trials come from, whatever or whoever is assigning them, it's like it or they already know of the information present in my soul. Alma do you have any clue where they come from since you were able to present them to me clearly on the status screen?" Asked Horo 

"No father, it was like the information was instinctively known by your soul and I was just able to present that information clearly due to our connection." 

"Hmm I see, no clue at all huh."  said Horo

"I do have one clue father, I can only assume that it must be the will of this world, as it could be the only thing to have information from your soul. On top of that you are aware that everyone in this world has tasks and trials, you are just a little special by having more then usual and me being able to display them clearly to you instead of you instinctively knowing what to do." 

"I guess your argument makes sense, well let's forget about it for now we'll have to obtain more information regarding the way of this world before coming to a conclusion." Said Horo

"Now let me see if it's possible to use mana as a replacement for spiritual energy, I wonder if it works will it have a severe side effect or if mana will have a miraculous change or mutation due to the cultivation methods. Time to find out." He said
