Chapter 85

Inside his soul, the soul power within Hu Donghan's soul tablet had unconsciously leaked out a bit.

In the midst of this, the runes formed from the recitation of the main principles of the Ghost Dao True Interpretation seemed to be rapidly merging with the contents of the Netherland Earth Fire True Method. In this process, Hu Donghan felt that his understanding of the Netherland Earth Fire True Method was becoming increasingly profound. Some of the content in the Qi Cultivation stage that he originally found incomprehensible suddenly seemed much simpler.

First, he interpreted the early-stage Qi Cultivation techniques, then the mid-stage, and immediately after, the late-stage—

The entire Qi Cultivation stage of the Netherland Earth Fire True Method became as simple as one plus one equals two in Hu Donghan's mind.

The Qi Cultivation techniques were quickly analyzed by the runes, and he then began to ponder the Foundation Establishment stage techniques. However, although Hu Donghan very much wanted to use the runes to analyze the Foundation Establishment stage content, there seemed to be a strange barrier that the runes could not penetrate. Helplessly, Hu Donghan refocused his energy on the Qi Cultivation stage techniques and began to interpret them seriously...

After a long time, Hu Donghan finally came out of this mysterious state.

Opening his eyes, Hu Donghan felt that he had gained some different insights into the runes formed from the main principles of the Ghost Dao True Interpretation. His understanding of the Netherland Earth Fire True Method was like being directly etched into his bones; with a thought, he could activate the technique.

He got up and moved around, then sat cross-legged again and tried to cultivate the Netherland Earth Fire True Method once more.

This time, the cultivation was not as awkward as the first time. Under his mental control, the spiritual energy and meridians in his body quickly operated according to his thoughts. In just a quarter of an hour, he completed a small cycle, and the spiritual energy in his dantian increased slightly.

Opening his eyes again, Hu Donghan's eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy. Even though he tried to suppress his joy, he couldn't hold it back. His face turned red, and his body trembled involuntarily.

"The main principles of the Ghost Dao True Interpretation indeed have an enhancing effect on the Netherland Earth Fire True Method!"

"Moreover, this enhancing effect is so powerful that it exceeds my expectations! I never thought that with the help of the main principles, the cultivation speed of the Netherland Earth Fire True Method would increase by more than four times! And the recovery speed of spiritual energy is even more impressive, increasing by about eight times!"

"With my current cultivation speed, even with just the talent of a middle-grade four spiritual roots, I might not be weaker than a high-grade two spiritual roots cultivator, right?"

"Of course, even so, I am still far behind the girl! The girl has a high-grade ghost spiritual root and cultivates the Ghost King Great Technique. Even without taking any elixirs, she managed to successfully establish her foundation in just ten months... If I want to surpass the girl, I must work even harder!"

"Girl, just wait! I will definitely surpass you one day!"

Hu Donghan released some of his joy, then narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "The facts show that if I switch to cultivating the Netherland Earth Fire True Method now, my cultivation speed will increase by more than five times! Moreover, during my cultivation just now, I vaguely felt that I could start and stop the cultivation of the Netherland Earth Fire True Method at will, and the risk of spiritual deviation was much smaller..."

"Could this also be the effect of the main principles of the Ghost Dao True Interpretation?"

"Yes! It must be because my understanding of the Netherland Earth Fire True Method has become deeper, and my mastery of it is like controlling my own arm, which is why this effect appears."

"I wonder if others will also experience this when they cultivate..."

Hu Donghan thought for a while, although he wanted to start cultivating immediately to enhance his strength, he suppressed this thought after glancing at the spell jade slips in front of him.

"Enhancing my cultivation doesn't need to be rushed. Now, I should first refine a few zombies and skeletons to increase my strength."

"However, although the Ghost Dao True Interpretation also has methods for refining zombies and skeletons, I should first check the related refining methods within the Yin Soul Sect. Perhaps I can gain some insights from them."

After systematically reviewing the methods for refining zombies and skeletons taken from the scripture hall, Hu Donghan's eyes were filled with undisguised disappointment—

Sure enough, the methods for refining zombies and skeletons within the Yin Soul Sect were indeed very crude, almost to the point of being laughable.

According to the information in the jade slip, the Yin Soul Sect's cultivation of zombies and skeletons was completely laissez-faire. They would choose a place suitable for zombies and skeletons to survive, plant control spells on them, and then leave them there. Whether there would be any harvest in the end was uncertain.

The only thing that Hu Donghan found somewhat valuable was the simple control spell—

This control spell could control zombies and skeletons with low intelligence to perform simple tasks. Moreover, this control spell would only consume spiritual energy when controlling the zombies and skeletons, and the amount of spiritual energy consumed would increase with the number and strength of the controlled zombies and skeletons.

In normal times, there was no spiritual energy consumption, making it a very good control spell.

Although this control spell could only control zombies and skeletons one major realm lower than the user, there was no limit on the number. In other words, as long as your spiritual energy was sufficient, you could use the zombie sea tactic or the bone sea tactic.

In theory, a Qi Cultivation stage cultivator could control an unlimited number of zombies and beasts, relying on numbers to overwhelm opponents.

However, for cultivators, once there was a major realm difference, what use was controlling some mindless zombies and skeletons? Moreover, once a cultivator reached the late Qi Cultivation stage, they could fly with their weapons. In a real fight, who would stand still and take the beating?

Therefore, this control spell was essentially useless in the eyes of evil cultivators!

"Other than this spell, there is nothing valuable! It seems that if I want to refine zombies and skeletons, the methods in the Ghost Dao True Interpretation are the best! Not to mention other things, just the soul imprint control has endless uses!"

"In my previous life, the backlash was essentially caused by those ghosts. Although zombies and skeletons also have the risk of backlash, it is due to the influence of ghosts."

"In this life, I have cultivation techniques to enhance my strength. As long as I am careful and can suppress all ghosts, there will be no risk of backlash!"
