Chapter 2043: The Choice of Zhen Hun Secret Technique

Liuye went to the passage that leads to the ancestors' homeland, passing by near Jiu Zhou. He took a look at Jiu Zhou and chatted with Xiao Jiu along the way.
Last time, Liuye and Lao Tang Wuzhuo agreed on the Fusion Realm matter. Recently, the news has spread, and a large number of Heavenly Pillars have been placed in the Qing Li Dao Realm, opening up gateways to Jiu Zhou. Currently, the entire Qing Li Dao Realm is undergoing a great migration. When the migration is almost complete, the Heavenly Pillars will lead the Qing Li Dao Realm to converge towards Jiu Zhou, finally achieving true fusion. By then, the Qing Li Dao Realm will be completely integrated into Jiu Zhou, with no distinction between them, and the heritage of Jiu Zhou will be greatly enhanced.
This matter is mainly handled by Wu Zhuo, with Xiao Jiu assisting in secret. Everything proceeds smoothly.
Without staying for too long, Lu Ye continues on with Yi Yi and Hu Po, arriving at the location of the entrance to the ancestral land of the soul clan. Guided by the Seven-Colored Divine Lotus, they open the passage and enter the soul clan's ancestral land.
Yiyi Amber naturally returned to the Lotus Land of Lishang, while Luye went straight to the Starry Sky Pool.
Soon, I will see Xu Yuan again.
Luye's main purpose for coming to the ancestral land of the Soul Clan was to cultivate his own Soul Suppressing Secret Technique. He had suffered a lot before, especially when competing with those veteran Rizhao, he was always at a disadvantage in terms of soul power. This was not only because his own spiritual cultivation was not as good as others, but also because he did not have time to cultivate his own Soul Suppressing Secret Technique.
If soul power is compared to a person's strength, then in the battles against those old-fashioned Rizhao, Lu Ye is fighting barehanded, while others can wield their own weapons, which are their soul-restraining secret techniques. Lu Ye naturally cannot gain any advantage.
This is a journey that any Rizhao must go through, and it is also a water mill skill. It can be said that the cultivation journey of Rizhao is almost constantly honing its own soul-stirring secret technique.
Raising the boundary of illumination is not only the accumulation of one's own magical powers, but also the more important settling of one's soul. Because this boundary is the cultivation of the divine aspect of spiritual essence.
Regarding the secret art of the Soul-capturing Technique, Lu Ye has some understanding. He has sought advice from Ma Bin in the past and has also discussed it with Su Yuqing.
However, when looking at the entire starry sky, the most authoritative in terms of spiritual soul is undoubtedly the Soul Clan. Compared to the Soul Clan, anyone else, no matter how strong, still falls short. Cultivating soul power is fundamental for the Soul Clan.
After staying with Xuyuan for several days, and listening to his in-depth and simple explanations of the various mysteries of the Soul-Calming Technique, Lu Ye benefited a lot.
In order to cultivate the Soul-Calming Technique, the first thing to face is a choice.
Each person's Soul-Suppressing Technique is unique, and only by finding the most suitable one can we achieve twice the result with half the effort in cultivation. If a Soul-Suppressing Technique is not suitable for oneself, forcing to cultivate it will naturally hinder the progress of growth.
Lu Ye is now faced with this choice...
He is very troubled.
The trouble is not a lack of choice, but too many choices.
Under normal circumstances, the soul techniques chosen by the Rizhao practitioners are usually their most proficient soul techniques.
When a cultivator reaches the Divine Ocean Realm, they will already have the birth of a divine soul and give birth to their own spiritual body. Regardless of which school of cultivation, cultivators will practice some soul techniques to compete with enemies.
Building the Soul-Locking Secret Technique on the foundation of my most proficient soul technique is undoubtedly the best and most suitable choice.
So, what is my most proficient soul technique?
Under Landy's internal vision, he looked at the intricate patterns on the burning leaves on the talent tree and couldn't help but fall into contemplation...
These spiritual patterns on the talent tree, if constructed and activated by mana, are spiritual patterns, but if constructed and activated by soul power, they are divine patterns!
For example, Shenfeng can use magical power to construct blessings on the Panshan Blade, enhancing its killing power. He can also use soul power to construct a divine soul attack, aiming at the enemy's divine sea.
It can be said that most spirit patterns are also divine patterns, and each divine pattern is a soul technique to him.
This is troublesome, constructing these divine patterns by oneself is not difficult, it seems that there is nothing particularly outstanding, and it can also be said that they are all very skilled.
Seeing him lost in thought, Xu Yuan smiled slightly beside him: "There is no need to rush in choosing the Zhentian Secret Technique. This kind of thing should be approached with caution."
"There are indeed some suitable options..." Lu Ye regained his senses, his mind flickered, and his soul power surged. "Elder, take a look at this."
Xiuyuan condenses the power of sight instantly, and soul power is usually invisible. Unless it condenses too much, ordinary people cannot see it. However, it is different for the soul clan. Even the weakest soul clan can clearly see the flow of soul power. This ethereal and elusive power is clearly visible in their eyes.
At this moment in Xuyuan's sight, he saw Lu Ye's soul power flowing out, and then quickly spreading, with extremely small patterns interconnecting and intertwining with each other, in the blink of an eye transforming into an oval-shaped ball in front of him.
Xu Yuan was stunned.
In all the times he had interacted with Lu Ye, he never knew that Lu Ye was a spirit rune master!
Of course, he could see that Lu Ye was currently constructing a divine rune. However, the speed at which he was doing it was incredibly astonishing. Countless Yin and Yang elements appeared in an instant, seamlessly integrating with each other flawlessly. There was not a single mistake throughout the process. Such a remarkable speed, even the Sun should not possess such ability.
He can't figure out how Lu Ye did it.
The only thing that puzzled him was that the divine pattern constructed by Lu Ye at the moment... why does it look like an egg?
It's not over yet, because Xuyuan can feel that the egg he sees is just a shell, and there are more yin and yang elements constantly being born and integrated inside, and then evolving into even more wonderful changes.
With a crisp sound, the eggshell shattered as if it were a real object, and then a huge figure emerged from within.
It spread its wings and gently flapped them, hovering above Lu Ye's head, crying out with a bold spiritual energy that swept all directions, just like a living creature!
There is a faint golden shadow flowing on its body, as if a flame is burning.
"Phoenix!" Xu Yuan recognized at a glance that the soaring figure appearing in the field of vision was none other than the Fire Phoenix, one of the Four Symbols.
"Elder, can this technique be used as a soul-binding secret technique?" Lu Ye asked, instantly constructing such a soul technique that seemed to have little effect on him.
The corner of the virtual element's eye twitched, and for a moment, I didn't know how to respond.
什么叫行不行？这可太行了！
Utilizing the fire phoenix of the Four Symbols as a soul-stabilizing technique, with such an attack, there is a possibility of facing enemies of higher levels. Ordinary opponents would be unable to resist.
However...
After a moment of contemplation, Xu Yuan said, "This technique is extremely complicated. If you truly treat it as a soul-binding secret technique, the amount of energy you'll expend during cultivation will not be small."
When practicing the soul-binding secret technique, the more complex the soul technique that serves as its foundation, the greater the cost of cultivation, and the slower the progress will be.
This is a matter of course.
There are many spirit patterns on the talent tree, and many of them can be transformed into divine patterns. However, things like Divine Edge and Holy Protector are not suitable as the foundation of the Soul Sealing Technique because they are too simple and monotonous. If Lu Ye chooses these two, his cultivation will naturally be expedited, but they may not have much effect when competing with enemies.
So, although it seems like there are many choices here for Lu Ye, there are actually not many. The Phoenix God Rune is the best choice. This thing is much more complicated than the average rune. With this as a foundation, the difficulty of cultivation is indeed high. But once cultivation is successful, the role it can play in battle is not something that can be compared to the Divine Blade Saint Guard.
"Moreover, this soul technique only focuses on offense and lacks defense, which is a bit extreme. Kid, you should know that the reason why the soul technique is called 'Soul Suppressing' is primarily to guard the soul. Therefore, most of the Rizao soul techniques mainly focus on defense because no one can predict if they will encounter stronger enemies. If one can firmly defend their soul, they will be able to better exert themselves in battles." Xu Yuan interjected.
Luyehan nodded, "That's true." Suddenly, he asked again, "What did the Elder choose as the foundation of the Soul-Suppressing Technique?"
Xuyuan smiled slightly, "The cultivation methods of my Yin Clan are different from yours. After the Sun-Shine, the foundation of the Soul-Suppressing Technique for all members of the Yin Clan is within themselves, without any other choices."
"To use oneself as a foundation?" Lu Ye was slightly surprised.
Xu Yuan Dao: "Since the Soul Clan doesn't have physical bodies, our soul is our flesh, so we only have this choice."
Lu Ye couldn't help but think of the previous battle with Zi Xuan. Before Bi Chen died, he activated his own Soul-Suppressing Secret Technique, only to be casually blocked by Xu Yuan. At that time, Lu Ye didn't see any signs of him using any means. Now he knows the truth.
The Soul Tribe's Sun Tzu is their own Soul-Suppression Secret Technique, so they don't need any other means to display it.
Luo Ye can also do this, using his own spiritual body as the foundation to create a Soul-Suppression Secret Technique, but if he really does this, once he engages in a soul battle with others, anyone can activate the Soul-Suppression Secret Technique, and he can only face it with his spiritual body, increasing the risk, which is of course not cost-effective.
Seeing that Lu Ye fell into contemplation, Xu Yuan smiled slightly, "Why not go to the Soul Forest? When you get there, you might gain something."
"The Soul Forest?" Lu Ye showed a curious expression. He had been in and out of the ancestral land of the Soul Clan many times, but he had never heard of the Soul Forest.
"That is the resting place of the sunrays of my Soulfamily, where they lay to rest after death. Their souls dissipate, but many of the soul techniques they practiced in life have been preserved there. In that place, you can witness various soul techniques and perhaps find one that suits you," explained Xu Yuan. "Before crafting their own Soul Suppression Secret Technique, every Soulfamily sunray would visit there, as it is considered the heritage of my Soulfamily."
This is obviously a forbidden area of the Soul Clan, only accessible with sunlight. Ordinary clan members are not allowed to enter. Although Liu Ye is from the Human Clan, the Soul Clan has never treated him as an outsider.
With such a good intention from Xuyuan, Lu Ye naturally had no reason to refuse. Although he knew very well that even if he could gain something in the forest of the soul of the British soul, the town soul secret art he could choose in the end was also a kind of talent tree. But if it was just to broaden his horizons, there would be no problem, of course. (End of this chapter)
