Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 240: Mineral Veins, Spiritual Marks

Tian Meng poked the light cocoon curiously.

"Master Yi, when will Xue Di come out from inside?"

"Don't move!" Ice Emperor rushed forward and slapped Tian Meng's restless hand away, and said to the Ice Bear King Xiaobai beside him:

"Xiaobai, you better protect him. Although the beast didn't show any hostility before, it's still better to be careful."

It's no wonder that the Ice Emperor is so cautious. Now the Snow Emperor is in the final step of transformation. The cultivation accumulated over the past 700,000 years is constantly being compressed and sealed. As the foundation of her human-shaped martial soul, it is also the most vulnerable time.

Before, Snow Empress was attacked at her most vulnerable moment. When she was about to give up transforming to resist, she was sealed into the Conferred God Platform. Her 700,000 years of cultivation were compressed, released, and then sealed, which directly made the huge amount of energy extremely violent. Unable to break through the constraints of the Conferred God Platform, Snow Empress' body was riddled with holes.

As for why the Snow Emperor was not released in the safe place of the Undead Demiplane, the main reason was that there was no soul power in the Undead Demiplane, and the rich light and the power of the undead were dominant.

At this time, the Snow Emperor was constantly absorbing the soul power around her as energy for her transformation, and she could only be born better outside.

"Huo Yuhao" shook, and the gray in his pupils disappeared. Huo Yuhao finally regained control of his body.

"How long will Xuedi last in this form?"

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly as he looked at the motionless Snow Empress.

Their vacation this time was only for more than two months. If Xue Di could not wake up in the next month and a half, Huo Yuhao would not be able to continue waiting here. Besides, Huo Yuhao also planned to take advantage of this time to see if he could sneak into the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to take a look.

Bing Di said uncertainly, "It should be within these few days at most before Xue Di wakes up. Soul beasts are already in a very dangerous state when they transform. Now Xue Di is obviously in the final stage of transformation. It won't take too long for her to be awakened by instinct."

To be honest, there has never been a transformed soul beast in the Far North, and even the Ice Emperor doesn't have much experience.

Just a few days...

Huo Yuhao felt that a few days would not delay anything, and he could use this time to check the unknown mineral vein under his feet.

Huo Yuhao was very envious of this good thing, which could allow the Silver Wolf Clan with average combat power to evolve into a Silver Moon Wolf King with a combat power of 20,000 or 30,000, capable of fighting against the Soul Douluo. Perhaps the materials for making battle armor in the future were here.

but……

Huo Yuhao looked at the land beneath his feet and fell into deep thought... How did he mine in his previous life?

Huo Yuhao thought for a long time and finally determined that he did not have the relevant knowledge in his previous life, and Mingde Hall did not have any mining machine drawings for Huo Yuhao to get. After all, those things are generally quite large, and they are probably placed somewhere else for research.

Do I have to dig with my bare hands?
Huo Yuhao used his spiritual detection to scan the ground, but as usual he found nothing. You should know that Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection can normally detect the general situation of the underground structure within a hundred meters.

That means the ore that can block spiritual detection is at least a hundred meters deep or even deeper, and this does not include the length of the detection vein. It is unknown how long it will take to dig it out by hand...

"uh-huh?"

Huo Yuhao suddenly discovered a soul beast within the range of spiritual detection. The most important thing was that from the general appearance obtained by spiritual detection, Huo Yuhao recognized the other party's species - pangolin.

At this time, the pangolin was poking its head out from the ground in the distance and looking over here, as if it was attracted by the movement of the Snow Emperor's transformation, and wanted to rely on its earth escape ability to join in the fun, and it seemed that it wanted to see if it could get any advantage.

"You want to take advantage of me? Then it's decided to be you."

Huo Yuhao said to himself, turned on the simulation and moved towards where the pangolin was.

Soul beasts like pangolins are very sensitive to ground vibrations. Huo Yuhao tiptoed around the pangolin until the other party was within the attack range of his mental shock, then he launched a soul shock at it.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao violently activated several soul guide thrusters behind him and launched them towards the pangolin. In the two or three seconds when the pangolin was dizzy, he lifted it up from the ground.

"A tiny thousand-year-old soul beast is trying to join in the fun."

Huo Yuhao used the Ice Emperor's Claws with both hands, pinching Huo with one hand and pressing his waist with the other to hold him tightly, and no matter how he struggled in his hand, he was unable to break free.

After feeling the mental strength of the thousand-year-old pangolin at close range, Huo Yuhao launched another soul shock, causing the pangolin to fall into a baby-like sleep.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao gently placed the pangolin on the ground, stroked its head gently with his right hand, and the fourth soul ring on his body flickered.

A slight cracking sound was heard, and Huo Yuhao could not help but shake his body. His face was obviously much weaker, but at the same time, a white and complicated mark gradually emerged in Huo Yuhao's palm and was imprinted on the pangolin's head.

“Hiss! Is this the pain of having your soul torn apart? It’s so painful. I don’t know how Wang Dong managed to endure it.”

As a spiritual imprint, in order to establish a deep enough connection with the original body, it would inevitably require a bit of Huo Yuhao's soul essence, which Huo Yuhao, who had four rings, found difficult to bear.

"I don't know how many Seagod Marks that Tang San has divided up. It shouldn't be too many. After all, he has only flown to the God Realm for a few decades. Even if Tang San's soul strength was not weak before, he wouldn't be able to divide up Seagod Marks at will."

According to Alex, the advantage of spiritual imprints is that they only require a small amount of soul essence to differentiate, and can also replace the main body to release some abilities, which can meet most needs.

If you invest too much soul essence in a spiritual imprint, you can do more things, but the soul essence consumed is enough to make a split soul for yourself. At this time, it is more cost-effective to send a split soul to stay permanently, with higher freedom and better operability.

Although the exact number was unclear, Huo Yuhao could guess a thing or two. Shrek and Wang Dong each had at least one mark on their bodies, there was also one at the Sea God inheritance place somewhere unknown, and one in the Haotian Sect.

In addition, there is most likely another soul that is responsible for managing these spiritual imprints on behalf of Tang San. I’m not sure where it is. After all, these places are still quite important. However, it is most likely not in Shrek. After all, there is a soul staring at me, and my little actions are a joke.

While Huo Yuhao was thinking, the unconscious pangolin showed signs of waking up. Huo Yuhao silently opened the simulation and quietly observed the pangolin in front of him. The pangolin looked around in confusion, and after confirming that there was no danger, it suddenly drilled into the ground.

Huo Yuhao watched all this silently with a pixelated smile on his face.

With the help of the mental imprint, Huo Yuhao can not only sense things within a certain range of the imprint, but also use it to activate some of the soul skills of the Spirit Eye Martial Soul.

For example, mental interference.

Another example is simulation.

Mental interference makes it impossible for the target to concentrate, which leads to an overall weakening of attention and thinking ability. It can make the target ignore some unreasonable things. When used when others are concentrating, it will also cause the target's thinking to be temporarily suspended. The specific effect is that the target will forget what he was doing just now.

Combined with simulated soul skills, it can be considered a range-type illusion ability that Huo Yuhao has mastered. Its only drawback... it can only be released with Huo Yuhao as the center. Although the effect of the simulation is still there at a distance, it cannot cover the area around the enemy, so there are more flaws and its practical significance is greatly reduced.

With the mental imprint, Huo Yuhao can use it to unleash this combination of skills, and can make the target fall into an illusion without having to personally take part in the battle.

For example, the little pangolin in front of us still thinks it is digging a hole for itself, but in fact, under the guidance of Huo Yuhao, it is constantly digging the ore in the valley and transporting the ore to the ground bit by bit.

Even though the Ice Emperor could force this little creature, who was less than ten thousand years old, to work for him by simply releasing a little pressure, Huo Yuhao still chose to do it himself in order to test his soul skills.

Facts have proved that the operability of mental imprints is indeed very high. At the very least, they can be used as a hidden eye to monitor targets.

The only pity is that Huo Yuhao cannot divide too many mental imprints now, otherwise his soul might have problems. Although Alex has a way to repair the soul, Huo Yuhao does not want to try that kind of pain.

It has to be said that everyone has their own expertise. Huo Yuhao, who has four rings, had no way to deal with the mineral vein under his feet. Digging it out manually would be a thankless task. But the pangolin in front of him, with only a thousand years of cultivation, dug out nearly a hundred cubic meters of ore in just half an hour.

As for why he only dug for half an hour, Huo Yuhao could only helplessly say that the soul power he put into the spiritual mark was limited. Releasing soul skills consumes energy, and if he continued, the spiritual mark would dissipate.

After calling back the pangolin and knocking it unconscious, Huo Yuhao picked up a piece of ore and started playing with it in his hand.

After rubbing it hard, there was no trace left, which made Huo Yuhao raise an eyebrow. You know, the hardest rare metal known, titanium, could not withstand the force of Huo Yuhao's team. On the contrary, this unknown metal with an unremarkable appearance could withstand it. Not bad, not bad. Its hardness alone is worth studying.

Huo Yuhao held up the ore and observed its appearance towards the sunlight. The ore was white and slightly translucent, which was a common color for spiritual minerals. However, if one looked closely, one could see a faint glow of seven colors emerging from the inside of the ore. The colors of the light were blue, red, yellow, cyan, gold, black, and purple, corresponding to the seven elements of water (ice), fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and thunder.
"Seven colors... Could it be related to the Silver Dragon? No, the Silver Dragon King doesn't seem to have mastered the lightning attribute, but the space attribute..."

Transparent white often corresponds to spiritual or spatial attributes. Coincidentally, the Silver Dragon King also has spiritual attributes and masters seven elements, but does not have the thunder attribute...

That can't be said. The Dragon God has the ability to control thunder tribulations. It is unlikely that the barbarian Golden Dragon King will inherit thunder attribute abilities. It is likely that thunder is also one of the abilities that the Silver Dragon clan can control, but the Silver Dragon King did not inherit this ability like Bingdi and Tianmeng.

If the inference is correct, considering that the Sun-Moon Empire once hunted a silver dragon, perhaps a silver dragon really died here, and its blood seeped into the ground to form this mineral vein with strange spiritual properties.

At this time, the mineral was in Huo Yuhao's hand. Huo Yuhao concentrated a trace of mental power to break through the outer layer of the ore and directly explore its interior.

"Ok?"

Huo Yuhao let out a light exclamation and threw away the ore in his hand in confusion.

It turned out that at the moment Huo Yuhao injected his mental power into the ore, the colorful elements in the ore suddenly rushed out of the ore as if in response to stress, and the originally white ore flashed with colorful light.

This colorful light includes seven colors: blue, red, yellow, cyan, gold, black and purple. When they appear together, the surrounding air twists violently.

No, it's not the air. To be precise, this colorful light is distorting the space!
Through spiritual detection, Huo Yuhao clearly felt that the distortion of the colorful light was similar to his own simulation. In fact, the intensity of the distortion was higher than his own simulation, but the precision was far inferior to his own simulation.

Looking at the colorful light at this moment, Huo Yuhao thought of the defensive skill of the Silver Moon Wolf King in the original novel.

The next moment, the vertical eye on Huo Yuhao’s forehead suddenly opened, and a beam of purple-gold light suddenly shot towards the colorful light.

This soul shock released through the Eye of Destiny on his forehead is Huo Yuhao's strongest spiritual attack soul skill at present. Even a Soul Sage whose martial soul can materialize would not feel good after receiving this blow.

However, at this moment, the strongest attack ability that Huo Yuhao could use came into contact with the colorful light. The colorful light began to twist violently and turned into a huge vortex, constantly strangling Huo Yuhao's attack and blocking it.

Seeing this performance that was exactly the same as in the original novel, Huo Yuhao said excitedly: “It is indeed so!”

It seems that the Silver Moon Wolf King's defensive skills do not come from talent, but from this special ore.

It is no wonder that in the original novel, Huo Gua did not gain this ability after absorbing the Silver Moon Wolf King's soul ring. It is likely that the Silver Moon Wolf King himself has not yet mastered this ability. If the Silver Moon Wolf King has not mastered it, no matter how much Huo Gua is loved by heaven and earth, it is impossible for him to win a reward that is not in the prize pool.

Huo Yuhao's guess was not entirely unreasonable. One must know that the record of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy showed that the Silver Moon Wolf King fought against two Soul Douluos and finally escaped with injuries.

In the original novel, when the other means of the Silver Moon Wolf King had little effect on Huo Gua, it was obvious that this defensive ability was his capital to fight against Soul Douluo, and it also proved that the upper limit of this ability was very high.

If the Silver Moon Wolf King could completely master this ability after twenty or thirty thousand years of cultivation, it would mean that his bloodline was at least only slightly weaker than the top-level bloodline of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

How is this possible? It is almost common sense that the soul beasts of the Sun-Moon Empire have weak bloodlines. The only exception is the Evil Eye Tyrant, who is suspected to be an outsider.

But no matter what Huo Gua was like in the original work, at least now, this good thing that is no less than an absolute defense soul guide will belong to Huo Yuhao.

After resting for a while and replenishing his soul power, Huo Yuhao replenished the soul power of the spiritual mark on the pangolin. Fortunately, the spiritual mark itself was still there, and replenishing it did not require cutting the soul. The rest time could be shortened a lot, and the efficiency naturally increased.
