Chapter 321
321 Secret skill
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang! the tall stone statue took heavy steps as it walked into the passage through the gate of the spirit husbandry Castle.
As soon as they entered the spirit husbandry Fort, the stone statue put Xia Pingan down from its shoulder.
When they arrived at the spirit husbandry Fort, Xia Pingan felt a little better. At least, he didn’t vomit blood anymore. His body had gradually recovered, but he still felt a little weak.
Why was the blood coughed out by this body golden in color? Xia ping ‘an didn’t know. He guessed that this might be a physical characteristic of being able to enter the spirit world. Anyway, vomiting blood was not a good thing. After vomiting blood, the weakness of the body was too obvious.
Xia Pingan leaned against the castle’s passageway door to rest. She panted and slowly recovered.
At this moment, he found that the stone statue that had brought him back to the castle did not return to its original position. Instead, it silently walked to another stone statue with a broken hand. It stretched out one hand and pressed it on the body of the stone statue.
Blue runes appeared on the two stone statues at the same time.
The runes on the stone statue that had saved Xia Pingan’s life were dazzling, while the runes on the broken stone statue were relatively dim, and the number of runes on its body was fewer.
The stone statue that had saved Xia Pingan opened its mouth, and a little golden light flew out of its mouth like fireflies. It fell on the broken stone statue and was absorbed by it. Two more runes appeared on the broken stone statue, and the blue runes became slightly brighter.
At the same time, the light on the stone statue that had saved Xia Pingan dimmed a little.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xia ping ‘an was stunned. Was that stone statue trying to save the other stone statues here? was it trying to save its own companion?
The Firefly-like golden light that flew out of the mouth of the stone statue was too similar to the golden light that was left on the body of the monster that had just been killed.
What the stone statue that had saved Xia Pingan did next confirmed Xia Pingan’s guess. In the next few minutes, the stone statue kept repeating the same scene. It kept walking to the other broken and silent stone statues, placing its hands on them, then opened its mouth, letting a little golden light fall on the other stone statues like fireflies.
After absorbing the golden light, the runes on the stone statue flickered and seemed to have recovered a bit of vitality.
After doing all this, the stone statue silently returned to its position, holding the giant hammer in its hand, motionless. The entire spirit husbandry Castle returned to silence.
At this time, Xia ping ‘an felt much better. Thinking of the purpose of his visit, Xia ping’ an wiped the trace of golden blood from the corner of his mouth. His face regained its determination, and he turned around and walked into the fortress.
After passing through the passageway at the entrance of the castle and the small square filled with coffins and corpses, Xia Pingan turned into the corridor of the inner castle. He quickly arrived at the spirit husbandry Hall on the second floor of the castle and stood in front of the black stone tablets again.
This time, he should be able to learn the skills of these spirit herders!
Xia Pingan thought to himself. He took a deep breath to calm himself down. Then, he stretched out his hand, spread his fingers, and put his hand on the middle of the handprint on the stone tablet with the words ” dream-supporting technique “.
In an instant, a strange energy came from the black stone tablet and entered Xia Pingan’s body through his palm. It felt like an electric shock.
Xia Pingan closed his eyes, his entire body trembling slightly.
The complete secret technique of the dream supporting technique appeared in Xia Pingan’s mind and merged with Xia Pingan’s body and consciousness. It was just like the instinct that Xia Pingan had practiced for thousands of years, and he quickly mastered it.
In less than three minutes, Xia Pingan’s trembling body gradually calmed down. He opened his eyes at once, let out a long breath, and gently took a step back.
“So strong!” Xia ping ‘an muttered to himself, ” so those stars are indeed the spiritual bodies of the high-level life forms in the material world. The dream-telling story is true.
The most impressive part of this dream-holding technique was that as long as one could lock onto and find the other party’s astral projection, once the other party fell asleep, one could use the dream-holding technique to communicate and transmit information to the other party in their dreams. Distance could be completely ignored, and no one would know.
After learning the dream-telling technique, Xia Pingan went to the stone tablet of the ‘nightmare technique’. She stretched out her hand and pressed it on the stone tablet.
This time, it was the same as the last time. In just a few minutes, Xia Pingan had completely mastered the ” nightmare technique “.
When she opened her eyes, Xia Pingan could finally confirm that the dream demon’s method of controlling others was the ” nightmare technique.
The ability of the nightmare technique could allow a spirit herder to influence the spirits of others when they were dreaming. They could plant a ” seed ” in the subconscious of others and turn them into their puppets. Once some external conditions appeared, the person controlled by the nightmare technique would feel as if they were dreaming. Their individual consciousness would be stripped away, and they would completely lose the ability to control and sense their own bodies. They would become a puppet and do whatever you wanted them to do.
In the next ten minutes or so, Xia Pingan learned and fused the ” spirit seeking technique “, ” dream creation technique “, and ” Phoenix-killing sword ” in one breath.
The spirit seeking spell allowed a spirit herder to find the spirit body they were looking for in the vast sea of spirit bodies.
“Dream creation skill” could bring people into a specific Dreamland unconsciously. Such a Dreamland was like a powerful illusionary skill, but it was more marvelous and fiercer than illusionary skills. It could create an illusionary realm in people’s mind and consciousness, causing the one who fell into it to not know that he was in a Dreamland.
What was worth mentioning was that the “dream creation technique” could not only be used in the spirit realm, but could also be used outside the spirit realm.
The last thing Xia ping ‘an learned was the’ demon-killing sword’, which was a spell and combat skill used by spirit herders to kill the gluttons.
The duty of spirit herders was to protect the spirit planets in the spirit world from the scourge of the poisonous insects. The spirit bodies in the sky were the sheep that the spirit herders had to herd.
The monsters that were entangled around the spirit body stars that had been chasing Xia Pingan before were the gluttonous insects.
Once the astral body was entangled by the salamander, it would enter a terrible nightmare. The salamander would devour and absorb the astral body’s energy in the nightmare like a parasite. At the same time, it would transform the astral body’s energy into the negative energy of fear, hatred, depression, sadness, and so on that appeared in the nightmare and breathe them out.
The energy of the spirit body was the foundation of all life. Once the energy was exhausted, the physical body would have nothing to rely on and would definitely collapse.
Ordinary people thought that the physical body was the vessel for the spirit body, but they were wrong. Everyone’s spirit body was the vessel for the physical body. The spirit body was like a magnet, and the physical body was just something that was attracted to this magnet. Once the magnet lost its magnetism, this attachment and attraction would no longer exist.
… Those spirit stars were the vessels for the physical body.
After fusing and mastering these skills, a lot of information about the spirit world and spirit herders appeared in Xia Pingan’s mind.
There were also different levels of spirit herders. Xia ping ‘an was only able to come into contact with three levels of spirit herders, which were primary, intermediate, and advanced. Above these three levels, there were even higher levels of spirit herders, but Xia ping’ an had yet to come into contact with information about these higher levels of spirit herders.
The promotion of a spirit herder’s level was closely related to their responsibilities. The most important thing was the number of spirit bodies that a spirit herder ” guarded “.
Apart from that, the spirit herder skills that he had learned in the spirit husbandry Hall today could also be upgraded at different levels. As long as his spirit herder level could be upgraded, he would have the qualifications to enter the higher level spirit herder Castle and master higher level secret techniques.
The skills that a spirit herder could master were definitely not limited to the five skills in front of him.
At the same time, there were more than one type of salamander that he had encountered today. There were even higher level salamander insects and even demons.
A spirit herder and a gluttonous insect were natural enemies. Devouring a spirit herder could make the gluttonous insect stronger, and a spirit herder could also continuously grow stronger by killing the gluttonous insect.
That’s right, in the spiritual realm, the most important thing was soul power.
The golden light that the stone statue had devoured after killing the Horseshoe crab was the soul power of the Horseshoe crab.
The real name of the stone statue was the spirit Fort Guardian. The spirit Fort Guardian was the best companion of a spirit herder and was also the strong force that protected the spirit herder Castle.
After mastering the ” Phoenix-killing sword, ” Xia Pingan could clearly sense the state and amount of soul power in his body.
Soul power could not be measured in specific units. However, Xia Pingan could use the ” execution sword ” spell technique to measure the amount of soul power in his current body. With his current soul power, releasing the ” execution sword ” required the activation of the soul power in his body. Using the skill to activate and release the soul power would return to his body after a long time, just like his body was recovering on its own.
With his current body, he could release slightly more than four ” execution sword “, but it would be a little difficult to release it five times. If he were to measure the amount of soul power he had at the moment, he could barely use ” 4.5 slashes ” to measure his ” execution “.
After understanding this, Xia Pingan didn’t stay in the spirit husbandry Fort for long. Instead, he quickly left.
Just now, he had been chased like a dog by those gluttonous insects and had almost lost his life. Now that he had the ” ant-killing sword ” in his hand, Xia Pingan couldn’t wait to find those gluttonous insects to test his knife and settle the score.
Almost at the same time that Xia Pingan left the spirit husbandry Fort and stepped into the rolling gray fog again, in another place in the spirit realm, the terrifying gluttonous insects that had been chasing after Xia Pingan were now flying around in front of a figure who had also appeared in the spirit realm.
what? you saw another person in the spirit world? it’s impossible for him to be angry! after understanding what the gluttonous insects were trying to express in the insect language, the figure almost thought that the gluttonous insects were playing with him, and he directly shouted.
