The Path to Immortality: Starting with an Analysis of Basic Concepts

Chapter 95 Myriad Beasts Diagram/Myriad Souls Banner? (Please Subscribe)

Zhu Yu stared at the "Nurturing" column, learned its nurturing information, and shook his head slightly.

"Twenty days, hopefully that's not too late—"

The Myriad Beasts Painting.

He deduced the flesh and blood array using his true vision.

Speaking of it, we must mention the little magic trick he previously demonstrated to Xiang Sui and Liang Kuan.

It was an experiment he conducted to replenish the roots of the "grave mound grass".

This technique draws inspiration from Black Tiger's innate magic "Changgui," as well as "Soul Summoning" and "Demon Control," and incorporates elements of "Life Stealing."

The information from the "mass burial ground" lineage was deduced.

It consists of thirty-nine lineages and is classified as a superior one.

Unfortunately, its lineage overlapped too much with the auxiliary spells of "Grave Grass," so Zhu Yu only tried it superficially and did not truly cultivate it.

But thinking that since he had already deduced it, it would be a waste to keep it, he suddenly had a bright idea to let "True Sight" integrate the available methods based on the information he had learned.

then.

Even Zhu Yu couldn't understand the "Ten Thousand Beasts Picture" was born.

Its main material is a high-grade spirit skin full of vitality. It is decorated with a spirit liquid made of starwood powder, with the essence blood of Xiaoyu, Xiaohei, and the black tiger. A total of 999 array patterns are drawn on it.

That's right, it's array patterns, not array restrictions.

Zhu Yu could understand the function of a single array pattern or multiple array patterns, but he couldn't understand the combination of nearly a thousand array patterns.

Knowing only vaguely that the "Myriad Beasts Diagram" had the effect of capturing, keeping, and controlling souls, he tried to cultivate a batch of ordinary demon souls for his use.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use the vengeful spirits cultivated in the vengeful spirit pool, but rather that their price was simply too high, and with his wealth, he simply couldn't afford them.

After checking everything, Zhu Yu didn't linger. He turned and left the array, arriving at a small area surrounded by bookshelves. He sat cross-legged on the soft couch, took out a meditation pill and six soul-scattering pills, swallowed them, and immersed himself in meditation.

Due to the summons issued by the Tower of Fallen Gods, the three discussed the matter and decided to suspend their classes and focus on cultivation in order to have more self-protection capabilities when they went to the Qingping Spirit Ruins battlefield.

The full moon rises, the waning moon recedes.

Time passed day by day.

News from the Qingping Spirit Ruins battlefield kept reaching the Underworld Palace, though it was all about how they had broken through Qingping Spirit Ruins and Spirit Land again, how many Qingping cultivators had been killed or captured, and how the Qingping Sect's battle lines were collapsing—

However, the cultivators of the Underworld Palace, upon hearing this, felt not joy, but rather even greater worry. Why would the Heavenly Dao Sect, so powerful, issue a proclamation?

There is only one result.

The Heavenly Dao Sect launched a fierce attack on the Spirit Ruins, resulting in heavy losses among its disciples.

In a short time.

The disciples were in a panic and began frantically buying talismans, magical artifacts, elixirs, and other things that could save their lives.

Shops of all sizes were overjoyed and, after selling off some of their stockpiled goods, did not hesitate to raise prices!

It's only 10% cheaper than the price sold by the "Heavenly Dao Sect".

Such behavior drew widespread complaints from the cultivators.

Some cultivators, unwilling to be ripped off, wanted to buy talismans and pills from outside. However, when they left the Underworld, they suddenly discovered that the prices of talismans and pills sold in the markets and towns within the area of ​​the Fallen God Tower were higher than those in the Underworld.

I learned this through investigation.

As early as half a month ago.

One out of ten independent cultivators from the market will be selected to serve on the Qingping Spirit Ruins battlefield. Those who refuse to perform their duties will be treated as consumables.

That's how it is.

More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

Every disciple belonging to the Tower of Fallen Gods has a piece of information displayed on their identity token.

In the underworld, in a wooden house.

"The Tower of Fallen Gods, the Battlefield of Qingping Spirit Ruins—"

Zhu Yu put away the jade pendant of his identity, took a deep breath, and focused his gaze on himself.

[Original Destiny: Underworld Yun Yin Sophora japonica]

Nearly two months have passed, and the panel looks brand new.

The reason his physical strength doubled was due to the magic technique "chewing gold and eating iron," as well as the effects of some of his snacks.

The increase in spiritual power is due to the fact that a month and a half ago, the basic visualization method was perfected, condensing the special effect "Solidifying Spirit". Under its effect, the time to condense a spiritual particle was shortened to 15 minutes.

To fully realize Zhu Yu's potential.

Thirty-two divine soul particles can be condensed each day.

To date, his divine sea has accumulated 1,360 divine soul particles, which is not far from the 6,000 divine soul particles required to construct the advanced visualization method.

And he spared no expense in using spirit stones.

He mastered the two arts of "summoning souls" and "controlling demons".

He has also entered the realm of array formations. The array restrictions set up in the house were all personally arranged by him. They can not only block divine sense from seeing, but also have good early warning and protection effects.

After closing the information panel, Zhu Yu took stock of his possessions. He only had a little over a hundred spirit stones, and two high-grade Vajra Talismans and two Wind Control Talismans, each worth five hundred spirit stones.

A medium-grade robe with a blue dragon design.

One Foundation Establishment spiritual item is "temporarily stored at the Xiang family's residence."

A broken field.

There was also a room full of various odds and ends—

"Still poor—"

Zhu Yu sighed softly; the spirit stones he had earned from teaching his students were no longer enough to support his own cultivation.

Putting everything else aside, just the spiritual item needed to cultivate the superior techniques "Life Stealing" and "Mass Burial Mound" alone would require him to teach his students for more than half a year to gather enough. Adding in some miscellaneous expenses, it might take even longer.

"No wonder we rarely see cultivators at the late or perfect Qi Refining stage—"

As Zhu Yu was pondering, he seemed to sense something, his face lit up with joy, he stood up and went straight to the location of the array barrier.

Enter the formation.

In the corner, a water vat held a spirit skin that shimmered with a soft glow. The spiritual energy that permeated the world poured into it, and the nearly one thousand array patterns drawn on its surface swam like fish, intermingling and merging with each other.

Slowly, a savage and ferocious aura began to spread—

I don't know how long it has been.

As the surging spiritual energy dissipated, Zhu Yu raised his hand and a palm-sized piece of skin, warm and smooth like jade, with patterns on its surface that resembled neither beast nor insect, fell into his palm.

When one's consciousness probes in, its effects become apparent in the mind.

The low-grade flesh and blood array artifact "Ten Thousand Beasts Diagram" contains a "Ten Thousand Souls Devouring Spirit" array restriction. It not only has the effects of capturing, keeping, and controlling souls, but can also improve its quality and power by devouring flesh and blood souls.

"Why does this feel so familiar—"

Zhu Yu muttered to himself in confusion, then froze, "Isn't this just a rudimentary version of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner?!"
