I looked into the Leveled-Up Path Jewel with a slight amount of intrigue.

[Level 1]: [Abyssal Maws of Endless Devouring] [Great Dimensional Stomach]

[Level 2]: [Gluttonous Digestion] [Devouring Attribute Damage +10%]

[Level 3]: [Endless Stockpile] [Ignore Physical Defense -10%]

[Description]

The Path that those who have made Gluttony their own power, something that belongs to their very souls and that cannot be taken away, your own power.

Devour anything that crosses your road through this Path, mercilessly and gluttonously!

Eat everything, even the heavens, the planets, the stars, the galaxies, and the universe!

The only limit is the one you make for yourself.

The Path Jewel has now been enhanced with the power of the [Soul Book], its abilities had been sealed. New Abilities will unlock with each Path Jewel Level. To level up the Path Jewel, perform actions related to them.

Interesting, it appears it got two new passive Abilities. One boosts Devouring Attribute Damage by +10% and the other allows me to ignore Physical Defense by -10% passively. These seem to work at all times and not only with just the Path Jewel itself.

So this means the higher the level of the path jewel, the more juicy bonus passive abilities I'll get and the stronger I will become! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I might had been able to Solo that one Evil Dragon… But I am not that kind of person to steal the moment from a friend.

I also got two other usable Abilities, while Abyssal Maws of Endless Devouring is my main method of attacking for now by using this Path Jewel, until stronger Abilities are unlocked, Great Dimensional Stomach allows for the devouring of anything, it also might allow to trap entities inside of my stomach, quite handy sometimes.

Lastly, Gluttonous Digestion's description is "Use the powers of the Monarch of Gluttony to digest anything that you manage to eat, destroying it away within your Great Dimensional Stomach, even things which are believed to not be able to be eaten can be digested, and every time you eat something with large quantities of power, you can absorb it to enhance yourself to greater levels, gaining more bonuses than before." so I guess it goes hand by hand with Great Dimensional Stomach.

As for Endless Stockpile, the description is "Use the great power of someone who will never be satiated, anything you eat will be stockpiled as surplus that you can use to enhance all of your body capabilities or even to use for certain techniques or Abilities, with enough amounts, you can even replace Divine Energy to a certain extent." Yep, it means that the more I eat the more energy I can stockpile to convert into Divine Energy = HP/MP.

It will come in handy on battles where stakes are too high and I'll need to heal my HP and MP constantly, even more than how I normally can. This is a great Ability to stack with the HP Drain and MP Drain Skills, but it costs a buttload of MP to use too, so I cannot use it for everything… Though I wonder if the MP I'll get back makes up for the lost, most likely.

Anyways, I might as well summon my next Path Jewel, as I've gotten a new Slot Open. The Dao of Path Jewels mutated by the influence of the Summon Dao (formerly a Fragment, which turned into a Full Dao thanks to the Soul Book's powers), and there's no longer any Path Board or the likes, and I can summon them just by spending Skill Points!

So let's see… Summon!

While everyone else was watching how I planted a Lesser Yggdrasil Tree which grew all the way to the skies in just a few minutes, I gathered Skill Points and transformed them through the Dao of Path Jewels.

Ding!

[You have exchanged 375 Skill Points!]

[You have summoned a Random Path Jewel!]

FLAAASH!

Suddenly, a distortion on space and time happened, as my eyes opened wide seeing the small circular jewel that emerged out of thin air! Its beauty and mystery were truly quite mesmerizing to the eyes!

A pristine dark blue jewel of spherical shape emerged, erupting with wondrous dark blue and white aura that spread everywhere, it slightly distorted the surrounding space…

Ding!

[You have summoned the [Path Jewel]: [Void-Born Horrifying Spatial Aberration]:!]

[The newly summoned Path Jewel has connected to several Skills; all of those skills have enhanced their power and effects!]

Void-Born Horrifying Spatial Aberration! This is the Path Jewel that enhanced my Space Attribute Magic to insane new levels. However, as it was only level 1, it couldn't really be as strong as I would have hoped, of course. Nonetheless, it now had the potential to grow as strong, as long I feed the Path Jewel with kills using its Abilities.

[Path Jewel]: [Void-Born Horrifying Spatial Aberration ]

[Path Jewel Level]: [1/10]

[Path Jewel EXP]: [0/10000]

[Available Abilities]

[Level 1]: [Void-Devouring Black Hole] [Space Severing Void Claws]

[Description]

The Path for those born in the void itself, whose powers are capable of transcending space itself and traverse freely through the Spatial Layers, manipulating Space and the Void to their will!

The Path Jewel has now been enhanced with the power of the [Soul Book], its abilities had been sealed. New Abilities will unlock with each Path Jewel Level. To level up the Path Jewel, perform actions related to them.

There it is! It looks more pristine than I remember it from back then, but way smaller. And the abilities are also the classic first two abilities! Both are offensive. Void Devouring Black Hole seems rather deadly to use, but it costs an enormous quantity of MP, probably over half of it. While the second one, Space Severing Void Claws are cheaper, so I can spam them more easily.
