Chapter 555: Soul Awakening Technique! Returning to the Imperial Capital!

Chapter 555: Soul Awakening Technique! Returning to the Imperial Capital!

Su Ping's eyes were tightly shut.

The fluctuations of his mental power gradually subsided.

He had been in the Rong Family for a full three days.

He wasn't in a rush to completely absorb the Death God Mark with the All Spirit Compilation, not because he was greedy for that power, but purely out of concern that the absorption and refinement process might take too long and delay his return journey.

He could always absorb it without worry once he returned to the Heart of All Spirits.

During these three days, he hadn't done anything else; he had been consistently doing one thing.

That was meditation.

This trip to the Tomb of Heaven had allowed him to consecutively break through two realms in a short time.

More importantly, one of them was a major realm breakthrough.

Even with his exceptional Spiritual Meditation Talent, he had to carefully repair and solidify his foundation.

This was to ensure that when he broke through again in the future, his mental power foundation would be stable enough.

For three days, no one disturbed him.

This time, the Saint Dragon Legend personally came to support him, and instead of using any special means, he directly helped with brute force suppression, allowing the Rong Family's family division to be completed at the fastest speed.

His reputation was further enhanced.

As for the Saint Dragon Legend, Su Ping didn't know where he had been these past few days.

The northern region had undergone such a huge transformation.

Most importantly, after Su Ping left, he used the Bone Throne to control and sever the connection between the Tomb of Heaven and the Soul Furnace.

As a result, the divine anomalies above the Tomb of Heaven were gradually disappearing, and it would soon become just an area with a slightly denser aura of undead energy.

The Death Fog, which was capable of isolating even the peak Holy Spirit Rank and suppressing the Legendary Rank, would also disappear in such a situation.

Therefore, the arrangements for the Tomb of Heaven were personally made by the Saint Dragon Legend.

In the future, the Dragon Kingdom could potentially include the area within a few hundred li around the Tomb of Heaven as part of its national territory in the Northern Province.

The resources of the undead in this region, if utilized properly, would greatly benefit the Beastmasters in the Northern Province and even the entire North.

It would benefit the country and its people.

However, Su Ping's methods were still too immature, so he let him handle it. Before leaving, Su Ping would make one last trip to the Soul Furnace and adjust it with the Bone Throne.

Stretching lazily, Su Ping slowly walked out of the room.

The warm sun shone high in the sky.

As December approached, the cold in the Northern Province intensified by threefold.

The icy wind was biting.

Time flew, and another year had passed.

Last December, he had gone to the Demon Capital to participate in the National Cultivator Competition.

As for this year, well, he might go too, but according to what Zhu Hong had said earlier, there was a high chance he would be going as a judge this time.

Before Su Ping could fully reminisce, a voice filled with surprise and complexity appeared in his ear:

"Cousin, you're out of seclusion?"

It was none other than Rong Mang, the cousin who had been attending Iceplain Academy and couldn't make it to the family division three days ago.

Rong Mang looked at his younger cousin with a complex expression.

It wasn't because of the rapid rise in status and power of this cousin who was a year or two younger than him.

It was purely because of one thing! Damn it, during the family division, with just one sentence from Su Ping, his cousin Rong Chan had been promised a Dragon Companion in the future!

You should know that Rong Chan hasn't officially awakened her talent or formed a Soul Pact with a companion beast yet.

But even so, she already had a guaranteed Holy Spirit Rank Eclipsing Moon Toad as her first companion beast.

And now, she was getting a Dragon as her second companion beast.

What kind of treatment was this?

Of course, it was clear to anyone that Su Ping favored Rong Chan.

However, Rong Zhe didn't seem to have gained any substantial benefits.

But this kid was stubbornly persistent, and at the last moment, he managed to take a photo with the esteemed individual.

You couldn't tell! Rong Zhe, who usually had an arrogant and smug demeanor, wasn't stupid when it mattered.

A photo with this person, let alone posting it on social media.

Even if he didn't post it, just looking at it when he couldn't sleep at night would be a great pleasure.

But what happened?

What happened?

They were all members of the Rong Family and considered Su Ping's cousins, but this elder cousin didn't get anything, and even after taking a sick leave from Iceplain Academy and flying back, he hadn't seen the esteemed individual, let alone Su Ping, in the past two days.

Who could bear this? But what could he do? That's just how fate played out.

Fortunately, he wasn't completely empty-handed.

When Su Ping handed over the Five Toxins Soul Refining Meditation to them, he didn't pay much attention to the heritage and even stated that everyone from his maternal grandfather's lineage could learn it.

This time, he was considered as having entered the family's teachings.

The value and effect of a meditation method were extraordinary.

"Is my cousin back?"

Su Ping smiled and then said, "By the way, cousin, did my maternal grandfather and uncle talk to you about the family matters?"

Rong Mang quickly replied, "I've heard about it, and I've already discussed it with the Academy. When the time comes, we'll go to Tibet together, and I might take a break from my studies for a while. I'll see if there's anything I can help with, and then I'll come back after a while to make up for the missed classes."

Su Ping nodded:

"In that case, my maternal grandfather should have packed his luggage, right? We'll probably be leaving today."

"Hmm... Many things have already been prepared. If possible, I'd like my grandfather and the Snake Ancestor to go and check, and the remaining things will be taken away by my father and his people later. My grandfather... is very reluctant to leave."

Su Ping could understand.

Although this move wasn't permanent, the old mansion would never be the same again.

"Leaving is for a better future. Try to persuade my maternal grandfather more."

Rong Mang nodded and then walked over:

"By the way, I came here to ask you about the Five Toxins Soul Refining Meditation."

"I can't really teach you much about this. Even after receiving the heritage, I barely looked at it..."

Su Ping wasn't exaggerating.

This Five Toxins Soul Refining Meditation required the companion to be primarily of the poison type, and he hadn't read further after that.

It didn't concern him much.

However, Rong Mang shook his head:

"No, my grandfather and my father were studying it the day before yesterday, and they discovered a special situation. There's a special remnant at the end of the meditation method, like a unique secret technique."

"Hmm?"

Su Ping was taken aback and took the original copy of the Five Toxins Soul Refining Meditation from Rong Mang. He looked at the very end.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed true.

"This secret technique..."

Su Ping narrowed his eyes.

In fact, there was an extremely detailed introduction on it, written by Situ Feng:

'After the meditation method I created, I founded the secret technique I cultivated back then! It was due to this technique that I had the opportunity to reach where I am today! I name it the Soul Awakening Technique.'

"Soul Awakening Technique?"

Su Ping quickly searched his mind but couldn't find any information about it.

Obviously, the origins of this technique had not yet been discovered in history.

'The Soul Awakening Technique has no other effect but one ability, which is to summon the soul's consciousness! Of course, in the early years, I based it on the talent 'Mind Communication' and its branch talent 'Soul Summoning' to create a secret technique for cultivating talent.

Later, I found that without Soul Summoning, as long as one's spiritual realm reaches the Monarch Rank, one can still cultivate this technique.

In the past, I relied on this technique to enter the Jianmu Heritage Realm and awakened a part of Jianmu's residual consciousness, gaining a fortuitous encounter! I hope later generations will have the same opportunity.'

Using 'Soul Summoning' as the foundation for this secret technique, a unique application of spiritual power was created.

Su Ping was familiar with Soul Summoning.

This talent was indeed similar to Mind Communication, but it was also significantly different.

Mind Communication, as the talent's name suggested, allowed one to communicate with companions through spiritual power.

However, Soul Summoning could only convey one's words into the companion's heart, but it couldn't understand the companion's expressions.

It sounded quite useless, and in fact, it was a rather useless talent.

The only slight difference was that Soul Summoning could be incredibly effective against some spiritual and soul attacks.

Because the effect of Soul Summoning could directly ignore everything and imprint itself onto the companion's deepest consciousness.

As for the Soul Awakening Technique, it was also interesting.

It summoned the soul's consciousness through one's spiritual power.

"In other words, it's similar to when the God of Spring first appeared and saw the little flame.

At that time, the little flame had no self-awareness, and the God of Spring used a similar method to condense the little flame's consciousness and soul."

The Soul Awakening Technique seemed to be similar to this method, but its effect was probably not as immediate.

Looking at this peculiar spiritual secret technique, Su Ping fell into deep thought.

It must be said that there were capable people at all times.

In history, Situ Feng, despite his humble status, managed to reach the forefront of his era and almost became a legendary peak powerhouse. He must have had unique talents and insights.

The Soul Awakening Technique, as described, is indeed intriguing. If one were to master this technique and possess a sufficiently advanced cultivation realm, it could even be possible to awaken the self-awareness of living resources, particularly plant-based ones, and perhaps create entirely new companions akin to the legendary Spring God of ancient times.

However, the requirements are incredibly demanding, and the idea is daunting, making it a challenging endeavor.

With this in mind, Su Ping pondered and said, "This secret technique is quite interesting. If you and the Rong family are interested, you can give it a try."

Rong Mang scratched his head, "I've tried it, but this method is extremely difficult. It requires an incredibly delicate and precise control over spiritual power.

Moreover, since I haven't reached the Monarch Rank, I can't even manage the basic entry. As for Grandpa and Dad, they also mentioned that this technique doesn't seem very practical. It's extremely slow to take effect."

Hmm? Su Ping raised his eyebrows. In his experience, this technique was challenging but not to the extent described.

However, he couldn't confirm the slow progress.

After all, he hadn't tried it himself.

But considering that if this technique truly had significant effects, Situ Feng wouldn't have left it as a mere addition to the Five Toxins Soul Refining Meditation.

After understanding this, Su Ping didn't bother with it further.

Aside from this, Rong Mang had been waiting at the door for another matter.

"There's one more thing, cousin. Regarding the insect-type companions that Grandpa prepared as you instructed, we've gathered quite a few. If you're leaving Northern Original today, you should..."

Su Ping slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering this matter.

"Take them for now. I'll sort them out when I get home. Also, the promise I made to Grandpa should still be valid. When he's free, he can come to Linzhou to find me."

The Bug King's matter and the value of the Five Toxins Cauldron were indeed impressive.

If he had the time, Su Ping would naturally take good care of his Bug Heart.

At this thought, Su Ping recalled his first 'Poison King': the Weaving Gray Spider.

He wondered if that little creature could become a pillar of his Bug Heart.

Compared to other breeding bases, the cultivation of the Bug Heart would likely be much more bloody and cruel.

Upon returning, he would need to carefully plan the process and cultivation strategy.

Grandpa had indeed put in the effort.

Su Ping noticed this as he saw the insect-type companions delivered and kept in the Rong family's beast seed field. At first glance, there were seven or eight Monarch Rank companions and over a hundred Overlord Rank ones.

The remaining lower-ranked companions numbered in the thousands, or even tens of thousands.

Although insect-type companions were the least valuable, such a large quantity still held significant value.

Su Ping accepted them and placed them into his Beast Control Space. Finally, Saint Dragon returned to the Rong family:

"Before we go, go and activate the energy of the Bone Throne."

"Have you taken care of everything?"

Su Ping had no doubts about this person's abilities.

"Yes, I killed a few and left some submissive ones to maintain the balance of the Tomb of Heaven's desolate land, forming a pyramidal ecological structure. I also modified the terrain a bit.

From now on, with some preparation, this Tomb of Heaven's desolate land can become another major wild companion survival base dominated by Necromancy in our Dragon Kingdom."

As he spoke, even this person's mouth curved into a smile.

Su Ping once again thought of this person's dream.

The dream of everyone becoming like dragons.

He exhaled and nodded, "Rest assured."

Ten minutes later, Su Ping boarded this person's exclusive starfighter, which was also his personal mechanical companion:

Overlord Sky.

A Saint Dragon-level starfighter-type mechanical companion.

It could even roam the universe, according to this person, it was the fastest among his companions.

Entering the starry universe, free from Blue Planet's rule restrictions, it could unleash its full speed, utilizing spatial jumping abilities to approach the speed of light.

Needless to say, this companion's speed was astonishing.

It reminded Su Ping of his own Proud Dragon.

After the last peculiar mystic realm incident, Proud Dragon had been damaged, and he wondered if Fatty and Wu Kuang had made any progress in repairing it.

With these thoughts, in less than twenty minutes, Su Ping, along with the Rong family's elders, his father, and the Ghost Saint, returned to Imperial Capital Dragon City after half a year.
