"Alright then let's begin" He encouraged himself before finally deciding on starting with the first step of this incomprehensible heaven defying technique.
He tried as it was noted down in the art, and just when he was about to make his first step on the road of cultivating this art, he received a message from the system that made him dumbfounded.
[Do you wish to learn this art for 500 System points?]
'The hell! There is this kind of operation? Why didn't the system ask me earlier?' Thiago exclaimed inwardly after taking in this message and its content.
"Well, but how would this work, because in the instructions it was said that you had to endure endless pain, while the soul is being tempered by the demons that have been condensed by oneself, but now if I accept and pay...Wait a minute I don't even have enough points to buy this service, damn it!
"Uh that was kind of unlucky I guess, well than let's continue cultivating as if nothing happened just now." Thiago mumbled after having received a blow due to realization of him being rather penniless and not being able to by the system's instant learn service, that would surely spare him a great amount of pain, just now.
Returning back to his senses and a state of full concentration he once again begun with the first step of this art namely the arrival in the soul space.
To actually be able to arrive in the soul space one would normally need a tiny minuscule amount of soul sense or else you could not project your consciousness into the soul space, but herein lay one of the absolute advantages of cultivating the Heavenly Demon soul transmogrifying Art, because this art actually gave the person cultivating it a tiny amount of soul sense, which could be used to quickly and smoothly arrive in the soul space.
In contrast, other soul sense cultivation techniques often used by the powerful on Red Star did not have this feature and therefore they had to cultivate for a long time with their respective arts until they had achieved this tiny amount of soul sense and could enter their soul space.
Now that Thiago got this tiny amount of soul sense form his art, he quickly felt that he was now able to actually project his consciousness into his soul space. This was a wonderful feeling, also because the soul space was originally an intangible and illusory place in every sentient being, so now that he was able to enter his, it was a truly novel feeling for Thiago.
He also remembered at this time how there was always the debate on earth by many scientists and ethicists on whether the human body had a soul or not.
Now he could probably say for sure that every human on earth had a soul, or else how could he been transmigrated if he did not have soul. Returning back to the topic at hand, Thiago was slowly moving his tiny soul sense towards were he felt that his soul space was, until suddenly his souls sense collided with a bubble-like wall. It seemed as if that was his soul space's protection mechanism, and just as he was wondering on how to enter, the bubble actually proactively sucked his soul sense inside.
When he was thinking about it, it made sense because inside his soul space was his soul, and his soul and Thiago are actually the same being so why would the soul not let him inside.
Clearing his mind from these useless thoughts, he observed his surroundings and was amazed by the sight in front of him.
There was actually a huge golden palace which had a sacred and majestic look and gave off an aura that was rather difficult to classify it was as if this aura was caused by emotions because the aura was constantly changing a little bit, after having seen enough form the palace he averted his gaze and when he slowly moved towards the palace a huge golden altar was presented in front of him on which actually stood a massive, once again golden throne.
On this exact throne there was actually an existence seated and this existence was no one else other than Thiago's soul.
While he was observing his soul the soul seemed to be asleep, because it had its eyes closed and did not move.
The weird thing was, that Thiago realized that he actually could not clearly make out the form of his own soul because sometimes it looked like a human and then it looked like a beast again. "Well, this is probably the case due to me being in the body of a tiger at the moment, but still having my human soul.
Anyway, it shouldn't do me any harm so I don't care at the moment. I'm just a little sorry for you, my little soul about what I am going to do to you right now." Thiago thought out loud inside the soul space after having observed his soul for long enough and well the last part was said because of the "Heavenly Demon soul transmogrifying Art" he would be cultivating in the future and now as well.
And as you may already know, this technique tempers the soul so it is rather painful for Thiago but naturally also for his soul that is the one mainly being tempered.
Seeing that there was no reaction from his soul's side he directly began to imagine the demons that he would condense in order for the tempering to be as effective and make his soul as strong as possible.
Sitting cross-legged with his soul sense on the floor of his soul space he tried to think of any devils or demons which he knew from Earth and then would modify them in order to look even more terrifying, if possible, because he had read in the information concerning the "Heavenly Demon soul transmogrifying Art" that after successive condensation of the demons inside the soul space one could also project them outside of the body and use them for intimidation or even fighting if one had cultivated strong enough soul power and soul sense.
Therefore, he would naturally look for the most intimidating demons he could find.
The only thing was, that at the first stage of this art one could only condense three demons or else the soul would not be able to bear it.
Skimming through his memory, he directly found a few demons and devils that could be used for his use. The first that naturally came to his mind was Mephistopheles who was known as one of the archdevils and ruled over the 8th layer of hell in many myths on Earth.
The next demon was in actuality not a demon but rather a god, but Thiago wanted to try out if that would also work, but theoretically it should because he could just think of him as a demon. This god was a rather famous one in Chinese mythology and was no one else other than the actual god of death, King Yama.
Now for the last one Thiago decided to use the Greek God of monsters Typhon, who was also a terrifying existence.
Having made his decision corncerning the demons, came the second and also harder part two of condensing them in his soul space. He calmed his mind and tried to only think of the image of Mephistopheles in his mind while also running the "Heavenly Demon soul transmogrifying Art".
