Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

In the boundless pure white space.

At this moment, time seemed to be stretched to the limit.

Ning Yan stared at the huge creature in front of him, and his thoughts froze for a moment.

It turned out to be a giant wolf that looked like a human standing up, with black hair all over its body, thick legs and feet, and wide and pointed toes. Its upper limbs were relatively thin, more similar to humans.

As for the wolf head on the neck, it exudes a ferocious aura, with long and sharp teeth protruding on both sides, as if they can pierce through metal on the spot, which makes people feel chilled to the sight.

Of course, this appearance is not much different from some werewolves in Western novels.

The only thing that is quite exaggerated is his body size, which is just like a mountain.

Any single toenail is bigger than his entire body.

To say that it is like casually pressing an ant to death is the most vivid description.

And this is exactly his current opponent.

After the initial shock, Ning Yan quickly came to his senses.

Although there was a slight error in the plan, it was still within the tolerable range.

Almost at the moment when the opponent took action, Ning Yan concentrated his mind and transformed into the formless goddess.

In fact, it is not impossible to condense it into other shapes, but he is more familiar with the Goddess of No Form, so it saves time to condense it.

After the Formless Goddess took shape, the opponent's attack had already landed in front of her.

It seems that a long time has passed, but because of the rapid changes in thoughts, in the external time system, it is less than one tenth of a breath.

When the huge claws landed on his body, Ning Yan's heartstrings were tense to the extreme.

In the next second, the formless goddess, who was formed purely by the power of the mind, dissipated like bubbles. However, after the dissipation, the free power of the mind did not disappear on the spot. Instead, it followed Ning Yan's will and merged into the huge and thick claw.

During this period, there were no obstacles or conflicts.

The fusion of the two was so smooth that it was as if the mental power was originally a part of the werewolf's claws and toes.

Only after he successfully integrated into it did Ning Yan feel a little relieved.

But this is just the first step.

The next step is to find a way to bring the giant werewolf under his control - that's too arrogant.

In fact, it was impossible for him to control this werewolf.

Although the opponent was a dead object, its size was too huge and far exceeded the limit of his control.

Forcibly devouring and manipulating it would only lead to its own destruction in the end, or his shallow consciousness would be completely dispersed by the werewolf.

So his original plan was to open a back door for him.

Consciousness sank into his body and quickly expanded to the surroundings.

It seems extremely fast, but compared to his huge body, it can only be said to be insignificant.

After an unknown amount of time, Ning Yan felt that his consciousness had expanded to its limit.

If the erosion and assimilation continued, he would no longer be able to control it.

The total amount of his mental power that he now controls is only a tiny fraction of a werewolf's.

“The gap is just too big.”

Ning Yan was quite emotional:

"Fortunately, one claw should be enough."

He wasted no time and quickly cut off more than 90% of his mental power, condensed it into the formless goddess, and simulated the other characteristics.

As soon as this completely different trait appeared, the werewolf, who was about to fall asleep, immediately became like a beast with its hair standing on end, and launched a ferocious attack on the Formless Goddess.

However, before its attack could be implemented, the Formless Goddess exploded.

Well, self-destruction.

If it were in the past, the self-detonation of the Formless Goddess would have also caused very serious negative impact on Ning Yan, the biggest of which would be the serious loss of his mental strength.

But now with the support of the werewolves, loss is not a problem at all.

It would be better to say that his original purpose was to lose.

The only way to clear this level is to let the werewolf's mental strength continue to drain away and weaken him.

Although this practice seems a bit despicable, it is within the rules.

Not to mention Guan Dingbao, no one else would have thought that there was such a way to pass the level.

This is something only he can do.

Realizing that his method was effective, Ning Yan did not delay any longer and immediately attacked the werewolf's second claw, quickly occupying it, and then condensed a second formless goddess.

Simply letting the Formless Goddess self-destruct can consume the werewolf's mental energy. In order to further speed up the process, it is better to let the two of them fight each other. Even if the damage of the Formless Goddess's self-destruction to the werewolf is minimal, there is still damage, which will reduce his subsequent workload.

In this way, Ning Yan lurked in the werewolf's body, diligently assimilating the opponent's mind and constantly weakening it.

During this period, the werewolf's image would change from time to time. Sometimes it would turn into the Blood Mountain Jade-top Python, sometimes it would turn into the Thousand-legged Forest-swallowing Eagle, or even into other various rare monsters.

Apparently, Guan Dingbao is not as limited as outsiders imagine.

He even had some suspicion that the other party used the Blood Mountain Jade-top Python as a mental illusion to show to the outside world in order to cover up other powerful illusions he had prepared inside.

They are all really fucking perverts.

While complaining in his heart, Ning Yan continued to assimilate his mind like a hardworking little bee.

I don’t know how much time has passed, and I don’t know how many times I have been assimilated.

The werewolf, who was originally as majestic as a mountain, was now only about ten feet in size.

And when he finished assimilating the other party again, what made Ning Yan feel at a loss was that this huge werewolf, which was nearly ten feet tall, was transformed into a formless goddess in an instant.

There was no stagnation in the middle, nor any remnants of incomplete conversion.

What's more, he felt that if the werewolf was a little bigger, he could transform it all at once.

When did his transformation ability become so strong?

Ning Yan looked at the formless goddess who was much more solid than at the beginning, and he vaguely knew the reason in his heart.

It is very likely that the multiple transformations over such a long period of time have greatly improved his ability to control his mind, allowing him to now freely control mental power several times greater than before, so the formless goddess he condensed has become what it is now.

Moreover, seeing her detailed figure that looked like a real person, Ning Yan had a vague premonition.

It seems that this formless goddess can really come back to life.

It shouldn't be... right?
Ning Yan looked at the formless goddess and found her more and more creepy.

Before he could disperse the Formless Goddess, a crisp "click" sound came to his ears the next second.

Immediately afterwards, the nearly boundless pure white space around them suddenly shattered.

The ancient scene in the stone chamber quickly returned to his sight.

Looking at the people around him who were paying close attention, he couldn't help but ask:

"How much time has passed?"

"About a hundred breaths."

Duan Haishan gave an answer quickly.

A hundred breaths?
Hearing this number, Ning Yan's eyes became a little dazed.

He made countless cuts in the consciousness space, and thought that at least several hours had passed in the outside world, but he didn't expect that only a hundred breaths had passed. But this was normal, after all, it was a duel in the consciousness space, and it couldn't be judged according to common sense.

After all, the speed of human thinking is far faster than the scale of time.

Thanks to this, there wasn't too much delay.

Ning Yan looked at the people who were looking forward to it and replied with a smile:

"It lived up to expectations and passed the level successfully."

Seeing him holding the jade slip unharmed, the people around him already knew the answer.

They just still found it a little unbelievable.

Such a powerful mental illusion could even defeat Duan Haishan, who was at the level of Hua Jin. Ning Yan had just been promoted to the level of Si Jin, so how did he pass it in such a short time?
They simply couldn't figure it out.

Noticing everyone's confusion, Ning Yan did not hide anything and explained his actions one by one.

But the more they listened to his explanation, the more magical it seemed.

assimilation?

Can this mental power be assimilated?

But no matter how much they question, the facts are before their eyes, and they will not be stubborn enough to ignore the truth.

It’s a pity that they can’t imitate Ning Yan’s method. From now on, it’s estimated that only he can open the two jade slips.

"Let's take a look at the contents first."

Ning Yan did not delay and quickly browsed the contents of the jade slip.

Just as he had initially guessed, the jade slip indeed contained a record of a magic technique.

Its name is "The Art of Refining the Spirits of Beasts".

Observe all kinds of rare and exotic animals, concentrate your mind, and create illusions.

It seems to be an attack method that condenses the mind and illusions.

But in fact, it is not just that. According to the description in the technique, every time a monster is condensed with the mind, the power of the mind can be increased to a certain extent.

If all the beasts are present, the mental power will be enough to surpass those of the same level, and can form an extremely powerful killing move, rather than just crushing warriors of a lower level.

This shows the preciousness of "The Art of Refining the Spirits of a Hundred Beasts".

It is even better than the "Xuanshui Destroying God Technique" that was obtained earlier.

Guan Dingbao is worthy of being one of the three masters of the Shenluo Wanxiang Sect, and he can actually master such a miraculous secret technique.

This secret technique is so exquisite that it is difficult to further optimize it with his current level and knowledge.

However, once you advance to the third realm, it should be possible to further optimize it.

After reading the contents of "The Art of Refining the Souls of a Hundred Beasts", Ning Yan did not hide it carefully like an ordinary person, but handed it to Ji Dinghuang who was standing beside him.

After Ji Dinghuang was stunned for a moment, he didn't say any unnecessary nonsense and went straight to the jade slip.

Soon, the jade slip was passed among everyone.

After reading the contents, everyone was amazed and had a very clear understanding of the value of this secret technique.

"Unfortunately, although this secret technique is extremely powerful, it is also extremely difficult to practice. Normally, one must at least reach the third level to practice smoothly. Even with the assistance of many rare external objects, the practice conditions can only be reduced to the level of transformation at best."

Having said that, He Qianyan couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face.

Breaking through the third realm is so difficult that for many people who have attained the third realm, it can be said that they have no hope in their lifetime.

Even for the Hua Jin, it is not so easy to break through for the Si Jin.

Especially for someone like him, whose body has gradually begun to decay, no one can say whether he can take that step before he completely decays.

But no matter what, everyone owed Ning Yan a favor by getting this secret technique.

Ning Yan didn't feel much about this.

If it weren't for the purpose of dealing with the Dragonborn, he would have probably missed the jade slip.

Moreover, after obtaining the jade slip, the benefits he gained far exceeded the imagination of everyone present.

Not to mention the improvement in his experience brought by the illusion of the God of Determination, after successfully passing the level, the only meaning left in the jade slip had been completely absorbed by him.

If I'm not mistaken, that meaning was actually preserved by Guan Ding. It was his own perception, which could greatly reduce the difficulty of practicing "The Art of Refining the Souls of a Hundred Beasts".

Even though he is now at the level of Silk Power, he can still carry out the first stage of practice very smoothly.

This is something that others are far from able to do.

Thinking of this, Ning Yan couldn't help but look at the remaining two jade slips.

Following the same instructions, he soon passed the level set in the second jade slip.

The levels in this jade slip are obviously different from those in the previous one.

Although they are all mental illusions, the mental illusion in this jade slip looks weaker and not as terrifying and domineering as the former.

However, this illusion was also filled with an extremely strong aura of murderous evil.

That murderous aura is a physical aura. Only by withstanding the opponent's attack can you break through the level.

Fortunately, no matter how strong the evil energy is, it will not impact the original mental illusion.

So Ning Yan passed the level easily. After assimilating the mental power in the illusion, the evil spirits turned into rootless duckweed.

But in the end it did not dissipate, but condensed into a thumb-sized blood-colored gas ball, which was absorbed by him.

He vaguely realized that this should also be a gift prepared by Guan Dingbao.

Sure enough, when he saw the contents of the second jade slip, this guess was immediately confirmed.

This second jade slip also records a very subtle method.

Its name is "Tianji Beast Taming Technique".

There is no doubt that this is a method used to control monsters.

It is not only about taming and controlling monsters, but also contains methods of cultivation and raising them.

Its content is profound and almost condenses Guan Dingbao's lifelong experience in taming animals.

A beast master at the peak of the third realm.

Just think about it and you will know how valuable this jade slip is.

But what is more valuable is the ball of blood and energy.

According to the records in the jade slip, that ball of blood and energy should be called a beast species. Originally, practitioners were required to pick the fierce and evil energy of the monster beasts, constantly refine and control it, and then use it as a foundation to tame and raise other monster beasts.

It can be said that the beast species is the core of this method, and it is also the most troublesome part of the practice.

Searching for rare monsters, collecting evil spirits, and cultivating other monsters... It's unknown how many years this process alone will take.

And now, with the help of the beast species given by Guan Dingbao, he was standing at the end of others from the very beginning.

This kindness is indeed huge.

But at the same time, it also made Ning Yan feel vaguely uneasy.

Guan Dingbao left his most valuable inheritance here, and even prepared extremely precious animal species for future generations.

Did he anticipate what was going to happen?

Ning Yan couldn't help but cast his eyes towards the last jade slip. (End of this chapter)
