Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 59: Soul Aperture Assimilation Degree (Please continue reading!)

The countdown began, and the two were teleported into the forest.

Afterwards, Lu Yun'er saw why Li Chunfeng was so tough.

Since Lu Yun'er knew his background, she transformed into a demon from the very beginning and went all out to prepare for the battle.

This was a private sparring session, and no outsiders were allowed to watch. Li Chunfeng didn't hold back, especially considering the threat of being on television.

Therefore, he made a slight move, releasing 10,800 Burning Lamp clones, scattering them throughout the entire forest. With a flick of his finger, his battle intent entity appeared on the left, wielding a chieftain's battle axe.

Lu Yun'er's mouth dropped open. Although she knew Li Chunfeng was extraordinary, she herself had also made great progress recently.

It was only then that I realized that the feeling of seeing the photo pearl was completely different from my own personal experience.

This overwhelming pressure on the soul...

Even his clones are at the second tier.

And that battle-inspired psychic entity—its psychic power actually condensed into an external clone with combat consciousness, and possessed certain strange abilities of psychic power, such as swift movement, silent movement, and perhaps even the ability to take flight.

In other words, within the range of telekinetic control, the battle intent can be aimed at any target.

How can we fight this?

As she watched countless lantern ghosts condense into fireballs, she suddenly remembered being burned by sparks from a soul fireball. Her expression changed instantly, filled with regret. "What madness did I have to want to experience the vicious moves of the lantern ghosts?"

"and many more……"

She had just uttered a cry when... nothing more happened.

"Woooooo~"

The battlefield dissipated, and the two figures reappeared on the arena.

The girl almost burst into tears. Even after the battle was over, she kept whimpering and pretending to cry, glaring fiercely at Li Chunfeng with a face full of resentment.

She was instantly defeated.

Losing isn't scary, but it hurts so much, Mom.

The baby felt wronged and wanted to cry. Just thinking about what had just happened made her feel excruciating pain and as if she were dying.

One more victim of the burning lamp.

After a long while, Lu Yun'er finally calmed down after Li promised to treat her to a big meal next time they met.

The Land of Illusion is ultimately just an illusion; there will be aftereffects, but they won't be that severe.

However, Lu Yun'er's gaze towards Li had unconsciously softened, revealing a hint of resentment. She pouted, raised three fingers of her right hand, and swore on the spot, "If I challenge you to a duel again, I'll be a dog."

Li Chunfeng looked at her with a faint smile, without saying a word.

Lu Yun'er stared directly at him, her bright black eyes, when focused, were like a calm abyss, and when flowing, like stars flying in the sky.

Although her appearance is ordinary, those eyes... are quite beautiful.

Socially anxious individuals will never let the atmosphere settle down.

Lu Yun'er coughed lightly and took the initiative to change the subject, saying, "I saw the news. The Ghost Realm was attacked, and Canyon City was among the targets. Are you still in Canyon City? What's the situation like?"

Li Chunfeng replied solemnly, "Yes, it is."

"We have temporarily repelled the attack of the White Bone Nether Lord, but the close-quarters combat between the two races will continue, and it could escalate into a large-scale decisive battle at any time. The Celestial Court's cross-realm conquest and large-scale battle with the Ghost Clan on their homeland are ultimately at a disadvantage. It should be known that the greatest fire in the world is always ignited by the smallest blade of grass. At present, any battle could overturn the final outcome, so the overall situation is still very tense."

He analyzed the situation for Lu Yun'er very seriously, and Lu Yun'er listened and nodded repeatedly.

The internet in the Earthly Realm has been buzzing these past few days, with numerous reports of both true and false information circulating daily, leaving people bewildered. However, with an analysis provided by Li Chunfeng, a war veteran, it is naturally credible.

"Humanity also suffered considerable losses this time. However, every cloud has a silver lining. After the war, the Celestial Court opened up many precious resources, including the Human Essence Pill and the Three Treasures of Embryo Condensation, which can only be exchanged for battle merits. As a result, everyone's morale is even higher."

"Wow, they've even released these good stuff!"

Lu Yun'er was eager to try, "Unfortunately, I have to go through my second tribulation in a little over a month, and my mother definitely won't let me go to the Ghost Realm at this time."

“Your mother is right. Once war breaks out, there is no one in control of the situation. No matter how capable you are, you cannot face thousands of troops alone. You still have a bright future. War is not a game; it's better not to experience it.”

Lu Yun'er blinked, becoming even more interested.

After exchanging words for a while, Lu Yun'er returned the photo bead to him again.

She earnestly instructed him that if he encountered war again, he should film more firsthand footage. She had just become a major internet celebrity, and was in the prime of her newfound fame, her mind preoccupied with finding material.

Li Chunfeng agreed and also asked her to send a message of safety to the Shan Hai Academy.

Lu Yun'er readily agreed.

Li Chunfeng had enough time during his three tribulations, but he didn't plan to go back immediately.

We should at least use up those 30 million merit points before we talk about anything else.

So Lu Yun'er left Yuan City, and Li Chunfeng didn't rush to fight on the Sword Debate Platform. Instead, he turned around and entered the blessed land 'Dark Abyss Ruins'.

This time, he only entered the first level of the Dark Abyss. Since Burning Lamp was already a level ten evil spirit, fusing his soul at this point would be a huge waste.

Li Chunfeng lit a concentration incense stick, smelled the faint fragrance, entered a meditative state to visualize the black lotus, and at the same time initiated the second feeding of his natal demon pet.

As various fantasies overwhelmed him, he silently recited a calming mantra.

"My heart remains unmoved, and all my senses are not confused!"

With hands forming a mysterious seal and mind focused on oneness, he began to refine the ever-flowing innate spiritual light.

After a while, Li Chunfeng finished feeding the baby.

The insights gained from this feedback were not as profound as the first time; it only increased my divine soul power by 30,000, as well as my proficiency in divine soul mental power spells and my progress in cultivation.

[Psychic Shield: Earth Rank, Level 3 (1/3000)]

[Mind Invisibility: Yellow Rank, Level 6 (1/6000)]

[Battle Will Spirit Body: Profound Rank, Level 9 (1/9000)]

[Void Handprint: Profound Rank, Level 4 (1/4000)]

【Black Lotus Sutra of a Turbid World - Level 6500: 7 (1/7000)】

Characteristics: Refines the divine soul, gathers the seven spirits, develops mental power, forms a soul seed, and creates an indestructible soul.

……

At this moment, Li Chunfeng's spiritual power had surged to 80,000.

He shook his head, and the feeling of being top-heavy and lightheaded returned.

In the small interior scene, the water in the Heavenly Pool rose wildly, almost to the point of overflowing.

After a little adjustment, he felt he could handle it; clearly, the small interior space's capacity far exceeded his expectations.

And how much divine soul power can other cultivators of the same realm possess, even if they have reached the peak of the Divine Realm?
Having a soul power of over a thousand is already quite remarkable.

Considering that the cultivators in Yuancheng are all elites, their expectations can be raised three to five times, to five thousand Dao Soul Power.

Otherwise, unless one is exceptionally gifted and needs to cultivate for a long time, consuming enormous resources, it is unlikely that one can accumulate tens of thousands of divine soul powers by the time one enters the Divine Realm.

Within Li Chunfeng's divine aperture, however, lay eighty thousand strands of soul power.

Being top-heavy is perfectly normal.

Although it didn't affect his normal actions, he felt it wasn't good to fight with that feeling in mind.

The plan to test swords at the Sword Debate Platform had to be postponed again.

This time, the lamp's level was only lowered by two levels as a form of support.

[My natal demon pet, Burning Lamp: Soul Aperture Assimilation Rate 25%]

An increase in the assimilation rate of the soul aperture is not a good thing for cultivators.

On the contrary, the higher the degree of assimilation of the soul, the more dangerous it is.

This is one of the costs of a cultivator repeatedly feeding back to their natal demon pet.

No matter how intimately a natal demonic pet and a cultivator are integrated, they are ultimately two different individuals. Repeated feeding will cause the barrier between the soul apertures to weaken, and if the degree of assimilation is too high, the soul aperture will eventually be completely integrated into the divine aperture.

If that happens, the demonic pet and its master will have no secrets left, and if the demonic pet were to retaliate, the cost would be minimal. If there are no ulterior motives, it's fine; but if malicious thoughts arise, it becomes extremely dangerous.

In the Celestial Court, there are quite a few examples of cultivators' divine apertures exploding due to excessive assimilation of the soul aperture.

Li Chunfeng's initial feedback resulted in a soul-aperture assimilation rate of only 10%.

The second round of assimilation increased by 5% compared to the first round.

This is due to repeated feeding back within a short period of time.

Li Chunfeng had not taken the issue of soul assimilation seriously before.

This is a question that cultivators only need to consider after entering higher education institutions or reaching a higher level of cultivation.

Both the Imperial Academy and the Daoist Academy have conducted in-depth research on the topic of "soul assimilation degree" and have considerable experience in solving assimilation problems.

There are also some rare and precious natural materials that can help reduce assimilation.

For example, "Soul Cleansing Elixir", "Night Moon Jade Elixir", and "Emperor's Flow Elixir" are all very effective.

The assimilation rate of the soul and orifices is 50%, which is the warning line.

Li Chunfeng possesses a fragmented jade disc, which allows him to precisely monitor the assimilation rate of the soul aperture at all times. If it exceeds 50%, he can address the issue promptly.

A 25% assimilation rate is not enough to hinder him.
