As to how exactly this influences people, Cao Kun speculates that insiders of the Satanic cult might be able to sense people with this mark on their bodies.
It is possible that someone within the Satanic cult shared this information with members of the Samickina cult, who then set their sights on Chariz.
This is just Cao Kun's guess; he doesn't know if it's true or not, but logically it makes sense.
Having put the matter aside, Cao Kun stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, there's no use thinking about it now.
The next day, Cao Kun bid farewell to Chariz and returned to the Land of Gathering Evil.
Upon entering the system, he saw that his experience points had increased to 63,845,700.
Cao Kun smiled.
Samigina's split soul is worth 50 million experience points.
Although those souls were relatively weak, there were enough of them to add up to more than 10 million experience points.
Now, apart from the already perfected Curse Spell, Heavenly Array Record, and Flesh Regeneration Spell, everything else, including cultivation level, can be upgraded.
"Huh!"
"How did the Blood Fiend Golden Body become seven levels?"
Cao Kun remembered that his original Blood Fiend Golden Body only had six layers.
Now, however, it has become sevenfold.
"Could it be because of Samigina's flesh and blood?"
"That's the only reason."
At that time, he only absorbed the flesh and blood into his body, without having time to fully refine it.
Overnight, the body automatically refined it, allowing the Blood Fiend Golden Body to break through to a higher realm.
If experience points are used, a full 10 million points are needed.
"This is equivalent to Samigina giving me another 10 million experience points."
"You really are a money-bringing boy."
Cao Kun chuckled to himself.
Composing himself, Cao Kun began to escalate the situation.
"Cultivation level up!"
Cultivation level: Eighth Rank of Soul Devouring
Experience points: 51,545,700
Cao Kun discovered that 500,000 experience points were deducted less than expected.
This shows that his cultivation has been quite effective since he slew the witch demon.
"continue!"
Cultivation level: Ninth Rank of Soul Devouring
Experience points: 25,945,700
The cultivation upgrade button has turned gray; I don't have enough experience points.
Reaching perfection requires 51.2 million points, and Cao Kun is still nearly half short.
Cao Kun wanted to curse.
Despite gaining so many experience points this time, it wasn't enough to break through to a higher realm.
As one's cultivation level increases, leveling up becomes increasingly difficult.
His gaze drifted to the other upgradeable skills.
Blood Fiend Golden Body, Yin Yang Creation Technique, Gu Poison Technique, Soul Body Refining Technique, and Fear Manifestation can all be upgraded.
Now, there's also a new skill called "Dream Manipulation".
The same problem has arisen again: storing experience points to upgrade cultivation and break through to a higher realm.
Should I upgrade my skills first?
After thinking about it, Cao Kun decided to upgrade his "Dream Manipulation Technique" first.
He was very interested in this skill.
Moreover, this skill is also very useful.
"upgrade!"
Dream Manipulation: Level 2
Experience points: 25,945,200
Seeing that he had only lost 500 experience points, Cao Kun breathed a sigh of relief.
This skill is different from the Body Refinement Technique; the experience points required are not as exaggerated.
Given this, Cao Kun chose to continue upgrading.
Dream Manipulation: Level 3
Experience points: 25,944,200
...
Dream Manipulation Technique: Perfection
Experience points: 24,279,200
Cao Kun can also perform dream manipulation techniques at the perfect level, achieving the same effect as Samigina.
He can also put people to sleep at any time, using the power of dreams to conjure up the people or things he desires.
However, the power of the conjured objects depends on the amount of dream power present.
Cao Kun had a sudden thought and immediately felt a strange and magical power.
This power is completely different from evil energy, spiritual energy, and so on.
This is the power of sleep.
This power is generated whenever someone is sleeping.
Many people have tried to explain dreams from a scientific perspective.
Freud also wrote "The Interpretation of Dreams," which is considered a classic by many.
But this book simply cannot explain many of the magical aspects of dreams.
For example, prophecy.
Someone dreamed of a string of numbers, bought a lottery ticket based on those numbers, and then won.
Can this be explained using "The Interpretation of Dreams"?
And what about dreams from ancestors?
Can this be explained using "The Interpretation of Dreams"?
Some people write lyrics, compose music, and write poems in their dreams with amazing talent, but in reality, they can't write anything at all.
There are many more examples like this, none of which can be explained convincingly enough.
However, that's not important.
In any case, Cao Kun can now wield such power.
However, the power of dreams that he can utilize is related to the range of his spiritual awareness.
To harness the power of a person's dreams, you must first sense that person.
If people can't sense it, how can they use it?
Now, Cao Kun's "Dream Manipulation Technique" is not the problem; rather, it is limited by his cultivation level.
The person he senses can fall asleep the moment he has a thought.
He can then use this to manipulate the power of his dreams.
Cao Kun simply reached out and beckoned, and a five-clawed golden dragon appeared in the basement.
However, due to insufficient dream power, this five-clawed golden dragon was only a few meters long, possessing more domineering presence than imposing power.
The five-clawed golden dragon circled Cao Kun several times, then opened its mouth and let out a long roar.
The unique dragon roar was so powerful that even Cao Kun found it quite awe-inspiring.
This is just a small dragon a few meters long. Imagine the sheer scale of a thousand-meter-long dragon!
Cao Kun reached out, and the five-clawed golden dragon flew over, resting its head on his hand, allowing him to stroke it as he pleased.
The realistic feel, the delicate scales, the two gleaming dragon horns.
Even knowing that it was created by the power of dreams and was not absolutely real, Cao Kun was still somewhat excited.
This is a dragon, a real dragon.
As descendants of the dragon, there are some things in our blood that cannot be erased.
Before long, the dragon, having exhausted its power of dreams, also dissipated.
It was daytime, after all, and not many people were sleeping.
Cao Kun was just experimenting; there was no need to hypnotize more people.
He calmed himself down and continued upgrading.
Next, he spent 5 million experience points to upgrade the four skills—Yin Yang Creation Technique, Gu Poison Technique, Soul Body Refining Technique, and Fear Manifestation—to perfection.
His experience points were reduced to 19,279,200.
As for the Blood Fiend Golden Body, he did not upgrade it further.
Because going from level seven to level eight requires a full 50 million experience points, which he simply doesn't have.
It's unclear whether it was Samigina's arrival that frightened the surrounding ghosts.
Cao Kun had a very peaceful Halloween this year.
Of course, this tranquility refers to the absence of disturbances from ghosts and monsters.
In fact, the masquerade ball that night was quite noisy.
All sorts of "intelligent beings" gathered together, circling around Cao Kun, keeping him extremely busy.
By noon the next day, all the other invited models had already left.
A nearby upscale restaurant delivered a sumptuous lunch.
Cao Kun ate his meal while reading the morning's newspaper.
Yesterday, on Halloween night, a large number of horror movies were released, including "Saw III" and "Dead Silence".
