Chapter 254 Fourth-Order Ancient Soul Technique, Second Nascent Soul Secret Method
Perhaps because this place is well-preserved, the number of blood corpses is extremely small, and the corresponding array power they face has increased dramatically.
The Heavenly Soul Sect was, after all, one of the ancient overlord powers.
Even if it's just a remnant of the setup, it would be difficult for the two of them to completely break through, so the identity token is one of the correct methods.
Half an incense stick later.
The Heavenly Soul Sect's Scripture Repository.
As Wang Yu attempted to cross, a light gray barrier suddenly rose up, isolating him. The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously took out their tokens and imprinted them onto the barrier.
The barrier immediately responded with ripples, which engulfed the two of them like water as they moved forward.
His vision dimmed for a moment, and then Wang Yu realized that he had arrived at the tenth floor of this place, and Long Yiran was no longer by his side.
It's clear that the tokens determine which floor they can access.
He stared intently at the situation on this floor.
The jade slips were neatly hung on the wall. The place was much more spacious than it appeared from the outside. Most of the jade slips were grayish-black, which was a sign of the loss of power.
As expected.
When Wang Yu reached out to touch it, it turned into a handful of dust and vanished without a trace.
He couldn't help but sigh.
"Time is truly a terrifying force."
The principle behind transmitting teachings through jade slips lies in the texts and insights inscribed within them using divine sense. These are typically prepared by cultivators for convenience.
As time passed, the inner spiritual consciousness dissipated and was not replenished in time, causing the jade slip itself to decay.
In this light, the most basic method of recording is still the safest.
Sweep along the way.
Most of the jade slips hanging on the wall were damaged, but some survived. He used his divine sense to extract information from them and fully received it.
The jade slip had completed its final mission of inheritance and turned to dust.
"good."
This alone was enough to satisfy Wang Yu; it consisted almost entirely of advanced techniques for using divine sense, along with insights and experiences from the ancients.
Divine consciousness transforming into silk, soul-capturing and thought-seizing, teleportation of objects with intention, soul impact, meditation to strengthen the spirit, commanding spirits to capture ghosts, devouring souls to nourish thoughts... the list goes on and on.
He has thoroughly perfected his rudimentary methods of applying divine sense. These advanced techniques are something he can study for a lifetime, the true foundation!
Although it's not a secret technique for attacking enemies, the benefits are definitely immense.
This is only a part of it; it's hard to imagine how far the Heavenly Soul Sect had progressed in its research on the Dao of Souls during its heyday.
Apart from those techniques for using divine sense.
There is also a complete fourth-tier secret technique and a fragmented secret technique whose level cannot be discerned.
The former—[Heavenly Infant Possession and Rebirth Method]!
A profound and mysterious body-seizing technique that can only be used by Nascent Soul cultivators. According to the description, it can perfectly reshape one's own body within another person's body.
It appears to be possession, but in reality it is rebirth through borrowing a body. The effect is most significant when it takes over a newborn infant, and it can also extend one's life by a hundred years, which is truly domineering.
It should be understood that normal body-seizing techniques cannot extend the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator at all. If one were to seize a body at the age of one thousand, one would still only have six hundred years of lifespan remaining.
This secret technique, however, can take away an infant's lifespan.
Of course, it's only effective the first time; it won't be able to fuse with the remaining lifespan the second time. Wang Yu didn't think he would use this secret technique.
But that doesn't stop him from studying.
The latter—[Soul-Destroying Death Ray]!
It was an incomplete soul-path divine ability, but not too severely incomplete. According to Wang Yu's knowledge, the remaining parts were at the third-tier level.
The minimum required level is fourth-tier, and it's not impossible for it to be even higher.
After taking stock, a look of joy spread across his face.
"A true disciple of the Heavenly Soul Sect...does he really have such great power? Or is the owner of this token someone of special status?"
He leans towards the latter possibility.
After the sweep, there was a dark octagonal stone platform in the middle of this floor, but it was only knee-high, making it look like a meditation platform.
There were ancient characters engraved on the side, and Wang Yu struggled to decipher them for a while before finally confirming them with a pleasant surprise.
"The complete Ancient Soul Technique is indeed here."
Fortunately, it wasn't passed down through jade slips, otherwise he might not have been able to complete the process.
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Yu sat down cross-legged.
The Ancient Soul Technique started operating automatically, as if it had been triggered. Every time he completed a cycle of the technique, a new passage of scripture would naturally appear in his mind.
The content of the third-order scriptures was clearly revealed. Discovering the wonderful use of the octagonal stone platform, Wang Yu sat down calmly and continued to complete the inheritance.
Until, a sudden change occurred.
Niwan Palace.
This is where people's souls reside. All of Wang Yu's cultivated spiritual power is located here, which looks like a gray, misty place.
Hundreds of dark paper boats drifted in the mist, constantly rotating around a shimmering, azure ball of light, like a protective layer.
This is precisely the manifestation of the introductory stage of the [Soul-Snatching Evil Boat Curse].
A white light surrounded the azure orb, which was the secret technique of [Heavenly Soul Qi] cultivated by Wang Yu.
It can enhance the power of consciousness, protect the Niwan Palace from external evils, and even purify the Niwan Palace—it's incredibly comprehensive.
At that time.
Within the azure light of the silk threads, there was a phantom image of Wang Yu. This was not his divine soul, but rather the wondrous [Ancient Soul] formed at the perfect completion of the Ancient Soul Technique!
As the cultivation technique is continuously improved, the ancient soul becomes brighter and brighter, and the illusory image gradually tends to become solid, but danger also follows.
Amidst the mist enveloping Niwan, a rustling sound arose, a feeling that was all too familiar, as if someone were whispering in his ear.
I can't hear it clearly, and I can't explain it.
However, it gave people a very irritating feeling. Wisps of black energy emerged from the surface of Wang Yu's ancient soul, transforming into malevolent ghost faces.
The howling wind dispersed the divine senses surrounding the ancient soul, but neither the black paper boat nor the Heavenly Soul Qi reacted. Wang Yu's consciousness, however, suddenly opened its eyes wide.
Evil thoughts of a celestial demon!
He was all too familiar with this power, and he never imagined that the Heavenly Soul Sect's legacy would be so closely related to the legendary Heavenly Demon.
Immediately afterwards, the octagonal stone platform transmitted a method for refining the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Demon and increasing the origin of the divine soul.
Wang Yu hesitated immediately.
After experiencing the cultivation of the [Demon Embryo Profound Origin Secret Curse], he deeply realized the terror of this demonic evil thought.
One wrong move, and at best your personality will become twisted and degenerate, at worst your body will be taken over by evil thoughts, and you will vanish into thin air!
To ensure complete safety, he never actively absorbed the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Demon to nourish the demonic embryo, but only used the placement bar to increase it.
"The demonic path is indeed extreme, but its effects are also powerful."
Hesitantly, and unable to refine the ghostly mask surrounding the ancient soul, it conceived a desire to devour the soul and began to gnaw at Wang Yu's ancient soul.
"Damn it!"
Without hesitation, Wang Yu placed all six slots and filled them with the Ancient Soul Technique cultivation secret method for emergency use.
really.
With six times the efficiency, the evil thoughts of the demons that came from nothingness were captured one by one.
They transformed into black beads, eventually forming 108 beads, which hung around the ancient soul's neck, resembling a string of Buddhist prayer beads!
Wang Yu frowned. Could it be that the Heavenly Soul Sect's inheritance also came from the Buddhist tradition? One is from ancient times, and the other from the distant past, separated by tens of thousands of years. It's not impossible.
After an unknown amount of time, when the inheritance of the octagonal stone platform was completed, Wang Yu immediately exited the cultivation state, restored the placement of the equipment slots, and his expression was dark and indescribable.
He succeeded.
The Complete Ancient Soul Technique is a high-grade fourth-tier soul cultivation method, sufficient to support a cultivator in developing fifth-tier divine sense. However, its effect upon perfect cultivation is to refine the [Ancient Soul] into a [Second Nascent Soul]!
Using divine consciousness as material, the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Demon as bone, and a portion of Wang Yu's soul as root, a second nascent soul was created, which is the top-tier soul-splitting technique in this world.
The two are inseparable; if Wang Yu's main body dies, the second nascent soul will transform into the main body.
It seemed impressive, but in reality, it touched on Wang Yu's taboo.
The worst thing for a clone is to develop its own consciousness, especially if it uses something as extremely dangerous as the evil thoughts of a demon. In a sense, chaos is almost guaranteed.
The value of this ancient soul technique is greatly reduced for him!
"well--"
Wang Yu sighed and rose leisurely from the octagonal stone platform. If he wanted to control the three corpses to fight off enemies, his divine sense would need to make another breakthrough.
Otherwise, only one Tier 3 Refined Corpse can be controlled at a time.
What else can we do? We'll just keep practicing!
In any case, don't expect to achieve perfection within one or two hundred years. Without breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, there's no possibility of a second Nascent Soul being born.
Besides, there might be a solution in the future. He felt that, while both used the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Demon, the Profound Origin Demon Embryo was more mysterious and more sophisticated.
I don't know where it came from. Maybe I can ask Nine Swords Evil Lord myself when I have the chance in the future.
With his cultivation technique perfected, Wang Yu also acquired a batch of secret techniques for spiritual sense, pill formulas, and methods for refining soul weapons and magical treasures... and so on.
It's basically an upgraded version of the second-tier Ancient Soul Technique, mainly third-tier, with fewer fourth-tier secret techniques. One of them even utilizes the second nascent soul, which is better than nothing.
Searching the Mountains for Demons - Tier 3: Ten Thousand Miles of Trails!
The gray-white field of vision has been further expanded, the energy consumption has increased, and the detection is more detailed. Within a certain range, even the patterns on the wings of mosquitoes can be seen clearly.
Ordinary concealment techniques are basically useless, as they can penetrate most environmental obstacles, such as the earth, mountains, and dense fog.
Soul-Shattering Finger - Tier 3 Soul-Destroying Finger!
The upgraded version is significantly more powerful. There's nothing particularly special about it, except that it has the added ability to cause amnesia. If you control the intensity well, you can erase memories without harming the soul.
Celestial Soul Qi - Third Tier Celestial Soul Qi!
With the advancement and completion of cultivation techniques, these secret methods also transitioned smoothly. Since Wang Yu had cultivated them all to perfection, the progress of cultivating the advanced versions would be very fast.
It takes only a few months to achieve a minor level of mastery, which is a benefit of previous accumulation. After all, it is a third-level divine sense secret technique, and it is still quite difficult to cultivate.
But it's still faster than learning a third-tier secret technique from scratch.
He was confident that he would gradually advance to the Great Completion Realm within a decade or so. To achieve perfection, he would have to rely on the placement of items, as he simply didn't have that much energy.
Needless to say, the cost of a single medicinal herb is becoming increasingly precious, some of which he has never even heard of. However, if one wants to quickly break through to the mid-stage of the third rank of spiritual consciousness, the aid of medicinal herbs is indispensable.
Regarding Soul Weapons and Magical Treasures.
Glazed Soul Lamp - Third-Tier, Eighth-Grade Soul Lotus Treasure Lamp!
Soul-Suppressing Seal - Tier 3: Nether Tiger Ghost Prison Seal!
In addition, there is a new [Soul-Scattering Evil Whip] and a fourth-tier soul weapon [Ancient Soul Sword], all of which are high-end items and will be difficult to forge in a short time.
