“Drip”
The drop of soul essence liquid fell on a golden flat bowl in Liu Ye’s divine soul space. It's a rare soul treasure with some unknown runes engraved on it. It is a unique soul artifact, which can only be used by the cultivators who are below “Divine Manifestation Realm” to assist in their soul cultivation.
Without the required cultivation realm, “Divine Manifestation Realm”, the soul essence liquid gathered through meditation and soul cultivation dissipates into soul energy fog in the divine soul space. The walls of the divine soul space crumble under the power of the soul essence liquid, and a soul cultivator would not be able to maintain the soul energy in its liquid form for a long time. The divine soul space should be strengthened.
Thus, cultivators need to reach the “Divine manifestation realm” to strengthen the divine soul space with their spirit root. If a mortal without any spirit cultivation wants to maintain the soul essence liquid, then he has to put in extra efforts on the divine soul space during his soul cultivation.
Otherwise a cultivator can also have a soul artifact in his divine soul space that can help one to store his soul energy. Liu Ye’s parents searched for a long time before they found one for Liu Ye.

When the condensed soul energy fell into the golden flat bowl, the soul essence liquid became chaotic. Soul energy in Liu Ye’s divine soul space began to quickly gather into a fog.
Liu Ye quickly ate another soul strengthening fruit to support the replenishment of soul energy and tried to condense more soul essence liquid.
At the same time, Qin Jia was surprised when he felt the chaotic soul fluctuations from Liu Ye. He became more careful when sending his spirit energy to help Liu Ye absorb the energy in the soul strengthening fruits.
After an hour, the chaotic divine soul space calmed down. The soul essence liquid in Liu Ye’s divine soul space increased by twice in quantity.
Liu Ye reached the first layer in soul cultivation.

‘Faster and Faster!’ Liu Ye reacted immediately and shouted in his mind.
This 'system' is slow when it reached the end.

He glanced at the status bar, everything was within his expectations.
It would take time for his physique to transform into “Pure jade body”. It was also the physique he inherited after activating the 'System' in his past life. There was no name given to it when his physique was transformed, and so he just casually named this physique, “Pure Jade body” based on the effects it had on him.
It only had two abilities as far as Liu Ye knew.
First ability, Liu Ye would have no problems or worries of hidden scars and unsolved damages in his body. The scars and damages, which were too deep to heal with just healing pills, could be cleared by Liu Ye just with focusing on healing them during his cultivation. This is the reason he named this physique, “Pure Jade body”.
These hidden scars and damages might cause a disaster to cultivators during breakthroughs. But with Pure Jade body, Liu Ye doesn't need to worry about them.
And the other ability was, with Pure Jade body, Liu Ye can't break through to the next major realm without establishing a stable and formidable foundation. Without reaching that formidable state in foundation, his Pure Jade body restricts him from making a breakthrough to the next major realm.
It could also be said as a restriction on his cultivation.

The 'system' he had with himself wasn't really an authentic system. It's some kind of treasure he fused with after his death on earth.
He did not know how many years it took for the fusion, only that it was an extremely long and torturous process. That process of fusion was still painful to remember for Liu Ye. That treasure became a part of him.
Liu Ye transformed the 'treasure' into a system for ease of use, when he felt that it was complicated to use in his previous life.
The system was like his subconscious part after the fusion. He just named it “system” and designed it to look like a game user interface.
However, this system couldn't increase his cultivation realm by killing beasts and other living beings.
Furthermore, he needed soul energy to activate this treasure. If he did not meet the required condition, he would not inherit the system and the Pure Jade body. In his previous life, he managed to activate the treasure and inherit the Pure Jade body, when he was promoted to the Divine Manifestation Realm. He later destroyed his cultivation and started from scratch.
The treasure became inactive when he died in his previous life. After he remembered his memories in this life, he could still feel its presence when he thought about it.

The system is a mobile library with vast knowledge of heaven and earth stored in it. Liu Ye could learn anything from it just by asking the question he had.
The system also works as a production machine that can create anything when the materials are provided. And It has a storage space where time stops flowing. The items stored in the storage space would not be deteriorated with the passage of time.
