Chapter 555: Spirit Awakening Technique! Returning to the Imperial Capital!
Chapter 555: Spirit Awakening Technique! Returning to the Imperial Capital!
Su Ping's eyes were tightly shut.
The ripples of his mental power gradually calmed.
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 into the All Soul Compendium, not because he was greedy for that power, but purely out of concern that the absorption process might take too long, disrupting his return plans.
It wouldn't be too late to absorb it without any worries once he returned to the Heart of Ten Thousand Souls.
During these three days, he hadn't done anything else; he had been consistently doing one thing.
That was meditation.
This trip to the Heavenly Tomb had allowed him to consecutively break through two realms in a short period.
More importantly, one of those breakthroughs was a major realm advancement.
Even with his extraordinary talent for spiritual meditation, he still needed to carefully repair and solidify his foundation.
This was to ensure that his mental power's foundation would be stable enough for future breakthroughs.
For three days, no one disturbed him.
This time, Saint Dragon Legend personally came to support him, and instead of using any special means, he directly used his might to help, allowing the Rong family's branch family to complete the process at the fastest speed.
His prestige was further enhanced.
As for Saint Dragon Legend, Su Ping didn't even know where this person had been these past few days.
In the northern Heavenly Tomb, such a huge transformation had taken place.
Most importantly, after Su Ping left, using the Bone Throne to control it, the connection between the Heavenly Tomb Wilderness and the Soul Furnace was severed.
As a result, the divine anomalies above the Heavenly Tomb Wilderness gradually faded, and it would soon become just an area with slightly denser undead energy.
The Death Fog, which was enough to isolate other Holy Spirit Rank peak-level beings and suppress those of the Legendary Rank, would also disappear in such a situation.
Therefore, the arrangements for the Heavenly Tomb Wilderness were personally made by Saint Dragon Legend.
In the future, the Dragon Kingdom had the hope of including the area within a few hundred thousand li around the Heavenly Tomb Wilderness as part of its territory in the Northern Province.
The undead resources in this region, if properly utilized, would greatly benefit the Northern Province and even the Beastmasters there.
It would be beneficial to the country and its people.
However, Su Ping's methods were still too immature, so he let this person handle it. Before leaving, he would visit the Soul Furnace once more to make some adjustments with the Bone Throne.
Stretching lazily, Su Ping slowly walked out of the room.
The warm sun hung high in the sky.
As December approached, the cold in the Northern Province intensified by three degrees.
The icy wind was piercing.
Time flew by, and another year had passed.
Last December, he had gone to the Magic Capital to participate in the National Breeding Master Competition after a short while.
As for this year, well, he might go too, but according to what Zhu Hong had said earlier, he was likely going as a judge this time.
Before Su Ping could fully reminisce, a voice filled with surprise and complexity sounded in his ear:
"Cousin, are you done?"
It was none other than Rong Mang, the cousin who had participated in the family division three days ago but hadn't been able to come due to still attending school at the Icefield Academy.
Rong Mang looked at his younger cousin with a complex expression.
It wasn't because of his younger cousin's rapidly rising status and power, despite being one or two years younger.
It was purely because of one thing! Damn it, during the family division, with just one sentence from Su Ping, his cousin Chan'er had been promised a Dragon Companion in the future! You should know that Rong Chan hasn't officially awakened her talent or Beast Taming Space yet, and she still can't form a Soul Pact with her Companion Beast.
But even so, she already had a Holy Spirit Rank-guaranteed 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 with eyes that Su Ping favored Chan'er.
However, although Rong Zhe didn't gain any substantial benefits, he stubbornly stuck around, and at the crucial moment, he managed to get a photo with that person.
You couldn't tell! This Rong Zhe, this stinky brat, usually acted so arrogantly, but at the critical moment, he wasn't stupid at all.
A photo with that person, not to mention sharing it on social media.
Even if he didn't share 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 Su Ping's cousins, but only this big cousin didn't get anything. Even after rushing back from the Icefield Academy on sick leave, for these past two days, not only has he not seen that person, but he's hardly seen Su Ping either."
Who could bear this? But what could he do? That was fate.
Fortunately, he wasn't completely empty-handed.
When Su Ping gave them the Venomous Spirit Refining Meditation manual, he didn't care about the inheritance and even stated that everyone from his uncle's lineage could learn it.
This time, I've finally entered the door to the world of meditation.
The value and effect of a single meditation technique are extraordinary and significant.
"Brother-in-law is back?"
Su Ping smiled and then said, "By the way, brother-in-law, did Grandpa and Uncle tell you about the family matters?"
Rong Mang hurriedly replied, "I've heard about it. I've already discussed it with the Academy, and we'll probably take a study break for a while. I'll see if there's anything I can help with, and then come back after a while to make up for the missed classes."
Su Ping nodded.
"Okay, Grandpa should have packed his luggage, right? We're probably leaving today."
"Hmm... Many things have been prepared. If possible, Grandpa and the Snake Ancestor should take a look. The rest of the things will be taken away by my father and his people. Grandpa... is very reluctant to leave."
Su Ping could understand.
This move, although not permanent, will change this old mansion forever.
"Leaving is for a better future. Just keep persuading Grandpa."
Rong Mang nodded and then walked over. "By the way, I came to ask you about the Five Toxins Spirit Refining Meditation."
"I can't really teach you much. Even after receiving the inheritance, I didn't really study it..."
Su Ping was telling the truth.
He casually flipped through the Five Toxins Spirit Refining Meditation and saw the requirement for having a pet companion with a poison attribute. After that, he didn't bother reading further.
It wasn't something that concerned him.
However, Rong Mang shook his head. "No, Grandpa and my father were researching this the other day and discovered a special situation. At the end of this meditation technique, there's a special remnant. It's like a unique secret technique."
"Hmm?"
Su Ping was taken aback and took the original Five Toxins Spirit Refining Meditation from Rong Mang. He looked at the very end.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed as Rong Mang had said.
"This secret technique..."
Su Ping narrowed his eyes.
The technique had a very detailed introduction, written by Situ Feng:
'After my created meditation technique, I founded the secret technique I cultivated back then! It was through this method that I gained the opportunity to reach where I am today! I named it Spirit Awakening Technique.'
"Spirit Awakening Technique?"
Su Ping quickly searched through his mind but couldn't find any information about it.
Obviously, the origins of this technique had not yet been discovered in the world's history.
'The Spirit Awakening Technique has no other effects, only one ability, which is to call upon the soul's consciousness! Of course, back then, I used the talent 'Mental Communication' and its branch talent 'Soul Calling' as a foundation to create a secret technique for cultivating talents.
Later, I discovered that without Soul Calling, as long as one's mental state reaches the Monarch rank, one can still cultivate this technique.
In the past, I relied on this technique to enter the Jianmu inheritance secret realm and awakened some of Jianmu's residual consciousness, gaining a fortuitous encounter! I hope that later generations will also have such opportunities.'
Using 'Soul Calling' as the foundation for this secret technique, a special spiritual power was created?
Su Ping was familiar with Soul Calling.
This talent was indeed similar to Mental Communication, but it also had significant differences.
Mental Communication was exactly as the talent described.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liuxiu Book Bar~~
In essence, it allows one to connect and communicate with pet companions through spiritual power.
However, Soul Calling can only convey one's words to the pet companion's heart, but it cannot understand the companion's expressions or meanings.
It sounds and indeed is a rather useless talent.
The only slight difference is that Soul Calling can be exceptionally effective during some spiritual and soul attacks.
Because of Soul Calling's effect, it can directly imprint messages onto the pet companion's deepest consciousness, ignoring all else.
The Spirit Awakening Technique is also interesting.
It uses one's own spiritual power to call upon the soul's consciousness.
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 similar means to condense the flame's consciousness and self-soul.
The Spirit Awakening Technique seems to be similar to this method, but its effect is probably not as immediate.
Looking at this peculiar spiritual technique, Su Ping fell into deep thought.
It must be said that there are talented individuals at any time.
In history, Situ Feng, with his humble background, managed to reach the forefront of his era and almost became a legendary peak powerhouse. He must have had unique talents and insights.
This Spirit Awakening Technique, that's how it is.
According to this meaning, if one can cultivate this technique to perfection and their own realm is sufficient, they might even be able to awaken the self-awareness of living resources, especially plant-based resources. Perhaps there's a chance to create brand new beast companions, just like the ancient legend of the God of Spring.
However, the requirements are extremely demanding, and the idea is incredibly challenging. It's probably not easy to accomplish.
With this in mind, Su Ping thought for a moment 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 and replied, "I've tried it, but this method is too difficult. It requires extremely delicate control over spiritual power.
Furthermore, I haven't reached the Monarch Rank, so I can't even manage the basic entry-level requirements. As for Grandpa and Dad, they also said that this secret technique doesn't seem very useful. It's extremely slow to take effect."
Hmm? Su Ping raised an eyebrow. In his experience, this technique was somewhat difficult, but not to the extent that Rong Mang described.
However, he couldn't confirm or deny the slow effectiveness.
After all, he hadn't personally tried it himself.
But thinking about it, if this technique truly had a significant effect, then Stuart Feng wouldn't have left it as a mere side note in the Venomous Spirit Refining Meditation.
Realizing this, Su Ping didn't bother to pay it much mind.
Aside from this, Rong Mang was still waiting by the door, and there was another matter to discuss.
"There's one more thing, cousin. As you instructed earlier, Grandpa has prepared quite a few insect-type beast companions, and they've brought over many of them. If you're leaving Northern Plain today, you should..."
Su Ping slapped his forehead, finally remembering this matter.
"Take them for now, and I'll sort them out properly when I get home. Also, the promise I made to Grandpa should still be valid. When he has time, he can come to Linzhou to find me."
The matter of the Insect King and the high value of the Venomous Cauldron were indeed remarkable.
When he had time, Su Ping would naturally take good care of his Insect Heart.
At this thought, Su Ping wondered about his 'Gu King', the Weaving Grey Spider:
Could that little thing become the pillar of the Insect Heart?
Compared to the others, the cultivation of the Insect Heart would likely be much more brutal and bloody than the cultivation of the others.
After returning, he would need to carefully plan the usage process and cultivation strategy.
Grandpa had indeed put in the effort.
Su Ping could see this.
The insect-type beast companions that were delivered were placed in the Rong family's nursery. At first glance, there were seven or eight Monarch Rank beasts, and over a hundred Overlord Rank beasts.
As for the lower-ranked beasts, they numbered in the thousands, or even tens of thousands.
Although insect-type beast companions were the least valuable, such a large quantity still held significant worth.
After accepting them, he placed them into his Beast Taming Space, and the Saint Dragon Legend finally returned to the Rong family:
"Before we go, you should activate the energy of the Bone Throne."
"Have you taken care of it?"
Su Ping had no doubts about this person's abilities.
"Yes, I killed a few and left a few alive to maintain the balance of the Heavenly Tomb Wilderness. I adjusted the terrain to create a pyramidal ecological structure. From now on weekdays, this place will become another major undead-themed wilderness beast companion base."
As he spoke, even this person's lips curled into a smile.
Su Ping once again thought of this person's dream.
The dream of becoming a dragon.
He exhaled and nodded:
"Don't worry."
Ten minutes later, Su Ping boarded this person's exclusive starship, which was also their mechanical beast companion:
Overlord Sky.
A Saint-level peak mechanical beast companion.
It could even travel through the starry universe, and according to this person, it was the fastest among his beast companions.
Entering the starry universe without the restrictions of Blue Planet's rules, it unleashed its full speed, utilizing spatial jumps to approach near-instantaneous velocities.
Needless to say, this beast companion was incredibly fast.
Su Ping thought of his own Proud Dragon.
After the last strange mystic realm appeared, the Proud Dragon suffered damage. He wondered if Fatty and Wu Kuang had managed to repair it.
With these thoughts, in less than twenty minutes, Su Ping, along with the Rong family, returned to the Capital City of the Dragon Empire after half a year.
