Davis read the name of the technique and became confused.
'Solitary?'
Did that mean that he can only make one avatar? Or did it mean that only one of them can exist in the end with them battling for supremacy of the body?
"..."
He shook away his silly thoughts from his head and continued to read.
In any case, he felt that he only needed one avatar for the time being.
He came across many texts that explained how he could train in it and the advantages that it could offer than the other avatar techniques.
After he finished the entire section of knowledge imprinted in his memories, Davis felt elated!
[This is an Emperor Grade Technique but in terms of value, it should be no lesser than an Immortal Grade Technique; albeit a weak one.]
This line was recorded at the end of the knowledge in the information that was etched on his soul sea.
The Solitary Soul Avatar Technique required a person to sacrifice 30% of their soul essence to create a soul avatar!
Different than a normal avatar that had a body and a soul derived from the original body, the Solitary Soul Avatar Technique made a person capable of creating an avatar with just their soul.
From the comparison inscribed on the technique, it seemed that many avatar techniques used specific rare materials, blood essence, and soul essence to create avatars.
However, the Solitary Soul Avatar Technique required no such materials, nor did it require one's blood essence. It only required the sacrifice of one's soul essence! And Davis precisely had nothing but his Soul Essence to currently offer!
The lack of other requirements became one of the important reasons why the comparison told him that the Solitary Soul Avatar Technique should be equal to an extremely low-quality Immortal Grade Technique in terms of value!
Like many normal avatars, their senses, experiences, and memories would be shared as one. It also meant that if the avatar were to comprehend laws, the original body would also comprehend whatever the avatar comprehended.
The advantages of the Solitary Soul Avatar Technique included many aspects. The avatar created with his soul essence would advance when the original's soul advanced in cultivation.
Meaning that as long as Davis advanced in Soul Forging Cultivation, the avatar would also grow along with him in strength.
The records stated that even Fifth Stage Soul Forging Cultivators could comprehend this technique, giving Davis the main reason to be elated.
However, it also warned that only after the soul becoming 'Mature' should one train in this technique since it rather took a heavy toll on one's Soul Essence.
Its low requirement again became a reason for it to be rarer than other avatar techniques and also one of the reasons to be unofficially graded at near Immortal Grade.
Nevertheless, there were still many limitations to it.
A person could only create one avatar by utilizing the technique. There was a warning stating that trying to create a second avatar could potentially cause the first avatar to collapse.
Since the avatar was conjured from only the soul, the only cultivation system it has is the Soul Forging Cultivation.
The technique's grade hovering at Peak-Level Emperor Grade meant that it could only grow up to the Peak of the Ninth Stage and not enter the Immortal Stage even if the original were to have a breakthrough to the Immortal Stage.
However, this still did not make it any weaker than other avatar techniques which produced avatars with three cultivation systems because this technique uniquely increases the quality of the soul force by two times in the Ninth Stage!
Three times in the Eighth Stage!
Four times in the Seventh Stage!
Six times in the Sixth Stage!
Meaning that if Davis were to conjure an avatar right now, his avatar's prowess could compare to the near Supreme Soul Stage!
This was the main reason why this avatar technique had been unofficially graded at the Immortal Grade!
Originally, his soul force could already compare to Peak-Level Mature Soul Stage so he wasn't rather sure if the effects would stack upon his already pure soul essence and soul force. If it didn't then the avatar's prowess would also be at Peak-Level Mature Soul Stage.
Nevertheless...
'The best technique below Immortal Stage indeed... A Soul Emperor can just use this avatar technique to reign over the cultivators beneath the Immortal Stage.'
Davis was in complete awe over this technique and felt regret in why he had not asked of this technique earlier before.
If he did, then he could be at two places at the same time.
From the records inscribed, it seemed at the Sixth Stage, as long as the avatar and the original body was in range, they could share their senses, experiences, and memories.
When Davis was at Low-Level Mature Soul Stage, the range of his Soul Sense had a limit of 24,000 kilometers in a spherical radius.
Normal cultivators who had entered the Low-Level Mature Soul Stage had a Soul Sense range limit of 20,000 kilometers, however, since Davis had a strong foundation and purity of soul force in the lower stages, his Soul Sense was dramatically greater than normal soul cultivators.
When he had taken the Soul Emergence Pill, his Soul Force increased in purity by two times, enhancing his Soul Sense as a result.
His Soul Sense then grew to have a limit of 30,000 kilometers.
After he had finally broken through the Mid-Level Mature Soul Stage, his Soul Sense grew again in the limit, having a range of 35,000 kilometers!
This was equal to a normal soul cultivator's soul sense which was at the Peak-Level Mature Soul Stage!
And this also inadvertently indicated that his Mid-Level Mature Soul Stage Cultivation was fairly equal to a normal Peak-Level Mature Soul Stage Cultivator.
'Mhm... The range limit at the Sixth Stage for this Solitary Soul Avatar Techniques seems to be ten times the limit of the range of my Soul Sense...'
That means as long as the avatar was in the Alstreim Family Territory, they would be able to share their senses and memories! Even if they were on the opposite ends of the Alstreim Family Territory, they would still be able to share their senses and memories.
This also meant that if the original body were to be at the center of the Alstreim Family Territory, the original body could still sense the avatar that would be at the opposite end of the Tripartite Alliance Territory!
However, that also depended on the fact that the dark smog restricting entry into the territories didn't block their senses.
Davis felt that the dark smog didn't block communications using since people could still communicate using transmission talismans.
All in all, this technique is extremely useful to the current him!
Davis beamed as he decided to instantly utilize the Solitary Soul Avatar Technique!
But first of all, he would have to split 30% of his soul essence which is an excruciating process to the say the least.
Davis's smile froze!
The first step instantly poured cold water over his enthusiasm.
The last time, Fallen Heaven just absorbed a percent of his soul essence, telling him that it was testing its new ability, but that left him dizzy and made his head spin, making him lose a little bit of his sense of direction and footing.
He just fell as if he tripped at that time, even experiencing slight pain in his glabella after he stood up.
'However, I didn't know that Fallen Heaven had done something to me. If I knew beforehand, I wouldn't have lost my cool at that time...'
He consoled himself and with brimming confidence and ruthlessness, shaped his soul force into a sharp scalpel inside his Soul Sea!
