"Your cultivation will skyrocket by a very high margin after this," Evan said and began to fuse her mana with her spiritual energy.
Throughout these years as her level increased her stats did as well, and now her mana was at 80, which is almost similar to a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm.
'With her cultivation and her physical stats, her battle prowess will be similar to an S-ranker, and with the Heavenly serpent spear, she will easily be able to kill any S-ranker in the world. Now I wonder, what kind of soul she is gonna awaken? Lyra has just formed a core inside her dantian, but I guess as to what her soul is gonna be, but with Celestina... I worry if it will be good or not.'
Evan was worried that she might feel sad knowing her soul was weaker than the people around her. But his worry was for naught after the system spoke inside his head.
[Don't worry, host. She will definitely awaken a powerful soul.]
System's reassurance helped him a bit and he continued to fuse her mana.
All the mana she had accumulated till now was flowing inside her veins, she didn't realize that till now because the system managed it, but now, Evan with his cultivation knowledge began to flow the mana from her veins towards her dan tian.
Her realm at Spirit Gathering Realm 4th layer begins to increase once again as the mana begins to flow inside her dantian.
Celestina didn't have to absorb any of that as it was already her energy and it smoothly flowed inside her dantian. Her cultivation also began to skyrocket and she made her breakthrough without stopping.

Spirit Gathering Realm 6th layer.
Spirit Gathering Realm 9th layer.
After the Spirit Gathering Realm was the Qi Refining Realm. In this stage, a cultivator refines the energy into the purest one as he absorbs more spiritual energy from the surroundings and tries to make it as thick as possible to absorb more energy. In the case of Celestina, the energy she absorbed till now was the purest possible, and even the mana that she has increased from the system was of the same purest quality. So, she didn't have any problem refining the Qi and just let the energy flow inside her.

Qi Refining Realm 2nd layer.
Qi Refining Realm 9th layer.
After the Qi Refining Realm is the Foundation Building Realm, in this stage the thick spiritual energy which was wisps at first is turned into liquid which will be transformed into a core in the Core Formation Realm.
For turning the spiritual energy into spiritual liquid, Evan has already provided her the information about it and Celestina did it without a hitch, though Evan also helped her in this process, and Celestina entered the Foundation Building Realm.
Lyra watched her breaking through from the beginning and hasn't spoken a word till now, she was always like this, she only spoke when it was necessary or when she was alone with her big brother.
'They have been sitting like that for a while now, it's boring just seeing two people sit. I might just go and visit this place, the smell around here is so good, it's making me hungry.'
The spiritual energy and its smell were making her hungry, her instincts due to the fragment of gluttony were making her want to eat the energy around her. But she didn't know why she was feeling like that.
"Big brother, I will take a walk around for a while, calm me when you are finished."
Saying that Lyra got up and went away to see around the sect.
Evan didn't say anything to her, he was busy with Celestina right now.
Celestina was also busy turning her spiritual energy into spiritual liquid. It was a pretty long process. First, she has to flow the mana from her body inside her dantian and then refine it, and then turn it into spiritual liquid. Every new spiritual energy that enters her dantian has to go through all these steps before being turned into spiritual liquid, this is why cultivation is a very long process where you have to start from the beginning every time, it isn't just about absorbing the spiritual energy.
As the mana turned into spiritual energy and got refined, it slowly turned into liquid and accumulated inside her dantian.
Celestina begins to breakthrough again,

Foundation Building Realm 2nd layer.
Foundation Building Realm 9th layer.
After almost an hour, she was able to reach the peak of Foundation Building Realm. After this realm is Core Formation Realm where the spiritual liquid turns into a core and gets bigger as her cultivation rises.
They both didn't stop and continued to break through into the Core Formation Realm.
Soon, a small ball-shaped thing similar to a rice grain in size formed inside her dantian. Celestina finally entered...
Core Formation Realm 1st layer.
More mana flowed inside her, and turned into spiritual liquid, and flowed inside the core making it bigger and bigger.
The core which was like a rice grain became similar in size to a tennis ball in a matter of moments. After that, its size only enlarged.
Core Formation Realm 2nd layer.
Core Formation Realm 3rd layer.
Core Formation Realm 9th layer.
She reached the peak of the Core Formation Realm and her core reached a size bigger than a football, it may look small in size but if anyone were to hold that core, they would feel mountainous pressure on them.
Evan finally opened his eyes and Celestina did as well at the same time. They both looked at each other and nodded, without a word they knew what was inside the mind of each other.
"Don't worry, even if I awaken a weak soul, I will make it up with my hard work, I am always praised for that." With a sweet and innocent smile, Celestina said to Evan, but a hint of unease was still inside her heart.
She bit her lips and asked for what was inside her all this while, "If... if I awaken a powerful soul, will you fulfill my one wish."
Evan didn't understand why she would say that, but he still replied, "I will fulfill it even if you didn't awaken anything, you are my wife, just ask me for anything and I will give it to you." Saying that he leaned towards her and kissed her on her forehead.
A sweet smile bloomed on her face seeing his care, her heart which was feeling the unease till now, was calmed down and she was determined to awaken a good soul.
"There is not much mana inside your veins now, so just make a breakthrough to the Nascent soul 1st layer."
Saying that Evan got up and went a bit far from Celestina, but before that, he placed a runic symbol on her womb.
'After Core Formation Realm, if anyone tries to reach the Nascent soul realm, the heaven itself tests its will by sending a heavenly tribulation, the stronger the will and strength of the cultivator the stronger heavenly tribulation will it be. Her foundation is so solid, that the heavenly tribulation she is gonna face won't be an ordinary one at all. But I have full faith in her, she won't lose to a mere tribulation in Nascent Soul Realm.'
Evan observed her from a bit far away, enough to help her if anything went wrong.
Celestina gave Evan a nod and closed her eyes, beginning to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
The last wisp of mana inside her veins went inside her dantian and turned into a spiritual liquid that went inside her core, as the core reached its maximum size, a few small cracks appeared in its outer layer, and she was just a step away from reaching Nascent Soul Realm.
As she reached closer to that realm, the sky turned grey, and a massive cloud appeared above the sect. Lyra, who was strolling through the sect was also alerted and went towards Evan.
Evan watched as the cloud began to emit thunder ready to strike at Celestina at any moment. Lyra also arrived near Evan and watched the thunder about to hit Celestina, she was going to move Celestina away when Evan grabbed her hand and pulled her away saying,
"Don't go there, you will only fuel up the heavenly tribulation. It's necessary for her."
Evan was dead serious at this moment. He wasn't going to take even a little risk.
Soon, the core inside Celestina cracked open and a soul similar to an infant emerged out of that core.

Thanks for reading everyone.
This is a regular chapter. The bonus chapter will come out in a while, so stay tuned for that.
I wasn't expecting to receive a castle so early on, I was so surprised that I couldn't believe it at all. I am glad that I got it but now I have to write 4 bonus chapters because of that, so I was wondering if it's okay to upload the chapters in installments. Do tell me, please.
This chapter included a lot of information, if you find anything weird then tell me I will improve it.
Once again, thank you so much Nick_kendell.
