Taking advantage of the free time in the afternoon, Chu Yao locked the door and sat quietly on the bed, trying to practice the Soul Preservation Technique.
Although the threshold for starting the Soul Storage Technique is the Foundation Establishment Stage, the techniques on how to leverage spiritual power should also be applicable in the Qi Refining Stage.
But this time he was not as lucky as before. No matter how he tried to comprehend and think, there was no fluctuation in his body.
The current state of his body was different from when he was first captured and brought aboard. Back then, although his cultivation was sealed, his spiritual energy was still there. But now, his Dantian was completely empty.
Chu Yao knew she was being too hasty. How could she know if the Dao would still have the same effect as before in this unknown land so far from her homeland?
Furthermore, it is still unclear whether there is any spiritual power here.
She had previously fallen into a fixed mindset, naturally assuming that this place, like Fengyuan Star, was filled with spiritual energy. But the reality was that there was probably no spiritual energy at all, and it was a wasteland for cultivators.
For those monks who survived on the spacecraft, breaking away from inherent thinking, remaining cautious and reflecting at all times may be the greatest wealth they can gain.
I can't stay here mining forever, I have to find a way to leave. The key to leaving is to recover my cultivation, so that I can get rid of the slave ring and resist those powerful celestial weapons.
The key to recovering your cultivation is spiritual power. You must find a way to replenish spiritual power!
Beyond that, you need to know more about everything in this world.
She had too little information. She was like a farmer who had just come to the city, knowing nothing and seeing everything as new.
Spaceships, golden light, black mirrors, weapons... Only by thoroughly understanding what these forces are will we be able to control them in the future.
Having made up her mind, Chu Yao calmed down.
She suddenly thought of something, jumped off the bed, stood in a strange posture, and chanted some mantra.
Not long after, Chu Yao felt a tingling sensation and a chill in his upper body. A look of joy appeared on his face, and he knew that he had succeeded.
This was exactly the "ghost summoning technique" she had tried on the spaceship. At that time, they were captured in the sky, and now they returned to the earth, and it was successful in one fell swoop.
She no longer had any cultivation, so she couldn't see the true form of the "ghost", but that familiar cold feeling was definitely not wrong.
The Ghost Sect's Daoism is extensive and profound. Broadly speaking, ghosts in the world can be roughly divided into three types: heaven, earth, and human:
A person who dies but whose soul is unable to enter reincarnation for some reason is called a human ghost; a man-made creature formed by the ghost energy condensed by magic is called an earth ghost; a ghost that is conceived and evolved in a desolate place with the right time and place is called a celestial ghost.
There's no distinction between these three types of ghosts. This is because once a ghost becomes a spirit, its three souls and seven spirits are inevitably incomplete. In other words, they possess independent consciousness, but it's a chaotic mess, relying solely on resentment or obsession to survive. However, if their obsession becomes too strong, or if they encounter some kind of good fortune, they transform into a fierce ghost, capable of consciously devouring other ghosts to strengthen themselves, and even cultivate spiritual power.
What Chu Yao had just summoned must be a type of human ghost. Unfortunately, being able to summon it but not exorcise it meant nothing without cultivation.
But this is also a very valuable attempt. The success of the technique at least shows that Lingyuan Star and Fengyuan Star are similar to some extent.
Since summoning ghosts is feasible, there must be other unconventional methods that do not require spiritual power.
Chu Yao's mind raced, countless thoughts flashing through her head. The path of cultivation, with its myriad methods, alchemy, artifact making, talismans, and array formations—any one of them was incredibly complex and vast.
Wait, formation... maybe it will work!
Although she had some knowledge of formations, she was not proficient in them.
But it’s okay, even if she doesn’t understand, there are others who do.
Senior Sister Bai Yuejian, as the highest-level cultivator in the Tianyin Sect, was not only incredibly powerful but also had made significant contributions to the field of formations. For example, the Tianyin Sect's protective formation had its power increased by as much as 10% thanks to her improvements.
Don't underestimate this achievement. The Tianyin Sect's protective formation was created by the first generation of the sect leader. It has stood with the sect for a thousand years. The number of people who can improve it can be counted on one hand, which is enough to prove her attainments in formations.
Chu Yao got out of bed and ran towards the small room where her senior sister was.
The two people's residences were not far from each other. Each room had a number, which was also their nameplate in the mine. Chu Yao's was 43, Bai Yuejian's was 49, and there were five small houses in between.
Chu Yao knocked on the door, and upon hearing her senior sister's greeting, she pushed the door open and walked in. However, the moment she stepped into the room, she saw a strong wind blowing in front of her, and she seemed to be walking into a fog!
The next second, everything in front of him returned to normal. Senior sister was sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at Chu Yao with a smile.
"Senior Sister, this is..." Chu Yao's eyes lit up, and then she saw small pieces of gravel under her feet.
The gravel was placed in a certain pattern, either horizontally or vertically, in a disorderly yet orderly manner. It looked like a small formation at first glance.
"Small maze formation." Senior Sister Bai said.
"I was just about to ask about the formations. Senior Sister, you've really already started trying them out. Besides the small maze formation, how about other formations?"
Senior Sister shook her head:
"I've also considered some other basic formations, like the Spirit Gathering Formation and the Heart Purifying Formation... but none of them are as simple as the Maze Formation. They either require specific materials, spirit stones, or spiritual energy, and none of these conditions are available right now. Even small formations are like this, let alone more powerful ones."
"But I have another idea. Since the maze array works, perhaps we can improve it..."
"I knew you were the best, Senior Sister!"
"Don't give me that," Senior Sister smiled and pinched Chu Yao's face. "How about you?"
Chu Yao thought for a moment and told the story about the Soul Preservation Technique.
