Chapter 291 The Three Abilities of the Illusory Beast Shadow

Because he hadn't gathered enough energy, Xu Ning couldn't immediately learn the Origin Technique, Illusory Beast Shadow.

However, Xu Ning didn't have any free time in the days that followed.

As Xu Ning stayed in the Prince's mansion for longer, many major sects and families in the vicinity learned of him.

Originally, Xu Ning's fame was limited to a small circle, but now, almost all the major powers in Guqing Prefecture know of Xu Ning.

Although the news of Duan Chaofeng inheriting the throne of Ye Wang is still being kept secret, many people know about Xu Ning, the heir apparent's confidant, and know that he will inevitably become a powerful figure in Guqing Prefecture in the future.

Many people have gone to great lengths to try and build a relationship with Xu Ning.

They met Xu Ning through other people in the palace, including Zhang He, or others who knew Xu Ning, and then became friends with him.

Xu Ning was not averse to this, as building these connections would be of great benefit to the Yanlu Sect behind him.

During this process, Xu Ning received many gifts from various parties.

Within just one month, Xu Ning absorbed 400 million units of energy.

At this moment, Xu Ning was still 1000 million units short of the 300 million units of energy required to cultivate the Void Beast Shadow.

Generally speaking, as time goes by, 300 million units of energy can be gathered soon, but Xu Ning is already itching to get them.

So he took the initiative to find Zhang He and temporarily borrowed a batch of pills worth 300 million units of energy.

Zhang He is Duan Chaofeng's subordinate, but he also has his own family behind him. Because he is backed by the Ye Wang Mansion, he has considerable power.

He also took out the 300 million units of energy in the pills from the family's inventory and handed them over to Xu Ning.

Zhang He assumed that Xu Ning needed these medicinal resources for the development of the Yanlu Sect, so he did not inquire about Xu Ning's intentions.

After accumulating 1000 million units of energy, Xu Ning began to work on improving the Void Beast Shadow.

In order to avoid causing too much damage when testing the power of his moves, Xu Ning even found a remote mountain far from the royal city to secretly enhance his skills.

"The illusory beast shadow..."

At this point, Xu Ning had already gained a deep understanding of this fundamental technique with the help of the memory crystal.

Once a cultivator has mastered the Void Beast Shadow technique, they can circulate it and refine the blood of demonic beasts.

The higher the level of the main bloodline of the refined demon beast blood, the more powerful the Void Beast Shadow will be when used later.

Every Dao Realm Grandmaster who cultivates the Illusory Beast Shadow technique can refine the blood of three types of demonic beasts and obtain some of their bloodline abilities.

As for Xu Ning, he had already chosen which three types of demonic beast blood to refine.

These are the blood of the Nightbringer, the Voidbringer, and the Bloodwolf, respectively.

The Soya Beast is a top-tier demon beast, and Xu Ning has already obtained its blood.

The blood of the Void Beast and the Blood Wolf are naturally grayish-white and blue-green, respectively.

Although they are not top-tier demonic beasts, they are still top-tier demonic beasts, and the illusory beast shadows created by using their blood are certainly not weak.

"Get ready for a promotion!"

Xu Ning brought up the martial arts panel and began to operate it.

-

Should I consume 1000 million units of energy to learn the Illusory Beast Shadow?

whether

-

This time, with ample energy, Xu Ning chose "yes".

The next moment, all the knowledge about the Void Beast Shadow was poured into Xu Ning's mind.

In just a few breaths, Xu Ning had completely mastered the illusory beast shadow.

"So that's what the fundamental technique is!"

A glint of light flashed in Xu Ning's eyes.

"I am not yet a Grandmaster of the Initial Origin Realm, and I cannot truly comprehend even a trace of the power of origin. Right now, I can only simulate the form of the power of origin through the power of the Dao Realm, and then activate the origin techniques."

At this moment, Xu Ning also gained a deeper understanding.

"Next, it's time to refine the blood."

Xu Ning then took out three porcelain bottles, each containing three drops of blood.

The blood of the Soya Beast was newly obtained, while Xu Ning had previously stored the blood of Gray and Blue Shadow.

"Let's refine the Void Beast's blood first..."

Xu Ning first took out the grayish-white blood, and then activated the Void Beast Shadow.

Wow!

As the Void Beast Shadow moved, the Void Beast blood in Xu Ning's hand instantly evaporated.

The way the bloodline power operates was completely recorded by Xu Ning.

"So that's how it is..."

A look of understanding appeared in Xu Ning's eyes.

"After recording how the power of bloodline operates, I can use the illusory beast shadow to achieve a certain degree of imitation and reproduction of it!"

After refining the Void Beast's blood, Xu Ning did not immediately absorb the other two drops of blood.

He reached a mountaintop and looked down at the surrounding area.

"Illusory Beast Shadow!"

Xu Ning gave a low shout, activating his Origin Technique.

Roar!

Instantly, a clear afterimage appeared behind Xu Ning.

The phantom was a roaring, ferocious void beast.

With a roar, Xu Ning felt an instinctive urge.

Xu Ning's Dao Realm power has begun to imitate the power of origin through the method of origin techniques.

With a thought, the space in front of him immediately began to distort.

With a loud bang.

The massive rock formation that Xu Ning was looking at instantly turned into dust.

"The power of void distortion!"

Xu Ning had seen Gray White use this ability before.

This is the ability that Gray White gains after activating his bloodline power.

And now, as a human Dao Realm Grandmaster, he has actually managed to unleash it.

"Moreover, the power I unleash is even stronger than Gray-White's... I wonder how Gray-White will react when he sees it..."

Xu Ning found it somewhat amusing.

However, Xu Ning was also well aware that the void techniques he used were more powerful than those of Gray White because his realm was higher and they were driven by the power of the source of imitation.

If Gray-White also comprehends the power of origin and is of equal strength to me, then the power it unleashes will definitely be stronger than mine.

Moreover, the grayish-white power of the void is not only manifested in the form of distortion and cracking.

When its level is high enough, it can also unleash abilities such as unimpeded teleportation in the void.

Xu Ning, who has mastered the Void Beast Shadow, can only use the power of the void in one way: spatial distortion.

The ability of the demon beast that the illusory beast shadow can imitate is randomly selected.

"Let's see what abilities the other two bloodlines can grant me..."

Xu Ning couldn't wait and began refining the blood of the Blood Blue Wolf and the Blood Night Beast.

Roar!

Xu Ning launched another test, and this time, the phantom of the Blood Blue Wolf appeared behind him.

Before Xu Ning, a blood-red, transparent wolf head materialized, carrying a terrifying aura of slaughter. It opened its blood-red maw and instantly tore down.

Another rock formation, torn into several pieces.

From a visual impact perspective, the destructive power of the wolf-tooth tearing is not as great as that of the void distortion.

However, Xu Ning knew that in actual combat, the wolf-tooth tearing effect imitated by the illusory beast shadow might be more efficient.

This move contains an extremely strong and terrifying killing intent.

In actual combat, it can have a significant impact on the opponent's mentality.

Those with weak wills may lose all will to resist after sensing this aura.

Even those with strong willpower can be negatively affected.

"Finally, let's test this Night Beast."

However, before unleashing this attack, Xu Ning first captured a mid-level Dao Realm demon beast.

Because the abilities of the Night Beast that he possesses are only effective against sentient beings; they are not direct physical attacks, but rather mental attacks.

A shadowy beast.

Facing the trembling mid-level Dao Realm demonic beast in front of him, Xu Ning activated the power of the Night Shuttle Beast.

The mid-level Dao Realm demonic beast captured by Xu Ning had no resistance whatsoever.

After the illusory image of the Night Beast, which resembled a giant worm, appeared, the mid-level Dao Realm demon beast felt a sudden darkness before its eyes and lost all its senses.

"This is the ability of Soyamon to block its senses, Weaver!"

Xu Ning looked at the demonic beast in front of him, which was like a puppet, and nodded thoughtfully.

"In actual combat, if I were to use this ability, Night Weaver, with my current level of expertise, against a Dao Realm Grandmaster of the same rank, I could completely isolate their senses and then instantly kill them..."

Xu Ning felt that this ability was somewhat like an upgraded version of the Wind and Smoke Gourd's ability.

The smoke gourd's isolation ability prevents the trapped person from perceiving their surroundings.

The ability of Night Weaver, however, causes the victim to be directly swallowed by darkness, making it a significantly higher level of threat.

"No wonder Duan Chaofeng chose to learn this fundamental technique..."

Xu Ning thought to himself, "This illusory beast shadow has a more diverse range of methods, and its terrifying destructive power is probably among the top of all the original techniques... However, it may be more difficult to master..."

Although Xu Ning cultivated through energy points, he could still sense the difficulty of his cultivation afterward.

In Xu Ning's view, based on Duan Chaofeng's martial arts talent...

Thirty years of diligent cultivation might give one a slight chance of mastering a bloodline ability.

If Duan Chaofeng wanted to achieve the same level of proficiency and master all three abilities as himself, it would probably take him more than sixty years.

"Let's go..."

Xu Ning had already withdrawn the illusory beast shadow, and the mid-level Dao Realm demon beast in front of him had also awakened from the endless darkness.

Upon hearing that Xu Ning had let it go, the Dao Realm demonic beast instantly fled.

It was originally the overlord of this monster mountain range, but after Xu Ning used it for testing, it was completely terrified and fled the deep mountains without stopping.

"Next, all we're missing is a suitable top-tier secret treasure!"

Xu Ning knew very well that he was now capable of facing and even defeating a Grandmaster at the Initial Origin Realm.

If he were to acquire another top-tier secret treasure, even a Grandmaster at the Initial Origin Realm would likely be no match for him.

Xu Ning brought up his martial arts panel again.

"Next, we need to prioritize improving the Dan Hai Dan Jing..."

Xu Ning pondered for a moment.

After testing the illusory beast shadow again, Xu Ning left the deep mountains and rushed back to Ye Wang Mansion.
