Chapter 329: Soul-Devouring Technique

The reason why Song Qingming was suddenly transferred to the front line was precisely because the battle between the two sides at Green Ox Ridge not long ago sparked a bit of fire. This made the front line, which had been calm for a period of time, begin to become tense again. Both the Heaven Sea Alliance and the Lingyin Sect began to quickly transfer troops and generals here in the last few days. Song Qingming, who had bumped into the front line by mistake this time, happened to be discovered by the above that he had no tasks for the time being, so they simply left him on the spot.

Half a year later, on a small hillside without any human habitation on the front line of Fenggu Plain, a giant python covered with brown spots slowly crawled out from under a rock protruding from the ground, preparing to start a day of hunting.

But just when it had crawled only a dozen steps away from its nest underground, suddenly from a large tree on the side, a cyan wolf-shaped monster jumped down fiercely, directly pressing it under its pair of huge sharp claws, and bit the python's neck fiercely, making it unable to move on the ground.

This cyan wolf that appeared suddenly had just controlled this unlucky giant python, and not far away, a young man wearing a cyan robe slowly walked over.

After this cyan-robed man approached the giant python's corpse, his left hand took out a golden round bowl from his waist, and then his right hand made a strange gesture in the void, and he began to chant a spell in his mouth.

Before long, the man stopped the sound of the spell in his mouth, and his right hand began to emit a faint white light. The white light became brighter and brighter, and began to have a somewhat dazzling feeling.

After the white light in his hand gathered to a certain degree, it suddenly turned into a white line and went straight to the giant python's corpse, and the cyan wolf monster on the side also acted quickly, directly biting off the neck of the giant python under its feet, killing this poor monster beast whose fate had already been destined.

With the irradiation of the white light, on the corpse of the giant python that had just died, a light and floating green light ball the size of a thumb suddenly emerged.

As soon as the cyan-robed man saw the appearance of this small light ball, his heart quickly became happy. He threw the golden round bowl he had already held in his left hand toward the green light ball, carefully controlling the round bowl to slowly approach this thing.

Just as it approached the green light ball, several golden rosy lights shot out from the golden round bowl, rolled up that strange light ball, quickly sucked this strange light ball into it, and then returned to the cyan-robed man's hand.

"Senior Wind Crane, look, can this monster beast's divine soul be used?" The cyan-robed man who took back the golden round bowl looked at the green light ball inside, and suddenly began to talk to himself toward the front where there was no one.

Before long, another somewhat old voice suddenly sounded from his body: "This kind of strength of monster beast divine soul can also barely make do. Your divine soul is still too weak now. You can only start cultivating from absorbing these low-tier monster beast divine souls. After you cultivate to the second layer of the Soul-Devouring Technique, you can go and look for some relatively powerful divine souls.

This cultivation technique cannot be too eager for quick success and instant benefit; it can only be done step by step. It took me nearly ten years to cultivate to the second layer of the Soul-Devouring Technique back then. With your aptitude, it is estimated that it will be even slower. Fortunately, the difficulty of this cultivation technique is not very high. As long as you have patience and spend more time, even if your aptitude is poor, you can still cultivate to a high tier."

Hearing the voice of approval, the cyan-robed man also let out a long breath as if he were relieved. For this period of time, in order to find a suitable monster beast divine soul, he had been busy finding time in his busy schedule for half a month, and today he finally had a harvest.

This cyan-robed man was precisely Song Qingming, who had been on the front line of Fenggu Plain for more than half a year. The reason why he had been looking for a suitable monster beast divine soul was actually that he was cultivating the divine soul cultivation technique "Soul-Devouring Technique" handed to him by Wind Crane.

This cultivation technique was even better than the Soul-Forging Technique that Song Qingming had practiced before for the improvement of the divine soul, and it could be cultivated to at least the Core Formation realm. Song Qingming, who obtained this cultivation technique, quickly decided to put down the cultivation of the Soul-Forging Technique first and switch to cultivating this set of cultivation techniques.

The method of the Soul-Devouring Technique to improve the divine soul mainly relied on capturing the divine souls of some monster beasts with low intelligence, using them to devour and refine, to achieve the purpose of strengthening one's own divine soul. This was a cultivation technique that very much needed patience to cultivate.

And in the early stage, the monster beast divine souls that needed to be devoured could not be too strong, and collecting them was also very troublesome, because the divine souls of these too low-tier monster beasts were truly too fragile. If he did not control the Soul-Collecting Technique he performed well, it was very easy to make this fragile divine soul dissipate between heaven and earth. Song Qingming had tried more than ten times in a row, either the spellcasting failed, or the collected divine soul was too powerful. It was only today that he finally found a qualified monster beast divine soul.

The Soul-Devouring Technique could only devour and refine the divine souls of spirit items with low intelligence at the beginning, and the progress of improvement in the early stage was much slower than the Soul-Forging Technique. However, after cultivating to the second tier, as the souls that could be devoured and cultivated became stronger and stronger, the speed of cultivation would slowly improve. In the end, as long as there was a sufficient supply of divine souls, the speed would instead be stronger than other divine soul cultivation techniques.

However, this cultivation technique had a taboo place, which was that it absolutely could not devour the divine souls of human cultivators of the same kind. Although this could improve the cultivation progress faster, once it could not be controlled, it was very easy to cause the cultivator's divine soul to affect their own intelligence, and in the end, it would make the cultivator become a crazy person with abnormal intelligence.

After putting away the golden round bowl in his hand, Song Qingming waved to the cyan giant wolf on the side. The cyan giant wolf emitted a burst of spiritual light, and then jumped into the air, turning into a cyan puppet the size of three inches and falling into Song Qingming's hand.

This puppet beast, named Wind-Chasing Beast, was a second-tier low-quality puppet beast that was good at speed.

In order to obtain this item, Song Qingming not only spent all the merits he had accumulated over this year, but also took the initiative to extend his time on the front line of Fenggu Plain for two months before he exchanged for this item from the Lingyin Sect's Merit Pavilion.

In the more than half a year on the front line of Fenggu Plain, Song Qingming also experienced many dangerous great battles at the beginning. It was precisely in these battles that Song Qingming hunted and killed many enemy cultivators, and only then did he manage to gather enough merits on the battlefield to exchange for a second-tier puppet beast.

From the time Song Qingming was left on the front line of Fenggu Plain, the Lingyin Sect and the Heaven Sea Alliance fought and stopped. Both sides on the battlefield also had a tacit understanding: today Jin Dan cultivators fought a great battle, and tomorrow Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Mount Mount Lianhua cultivators fought each other.

In any case, everyone strictly observed the fair rules of the battlefield and would absolutely not send high-tier cultivators to the low-tier battlefield to slaughter the opponent's low-tier cultivators.

After fighting for a few months like this, both sides who did not get any cheap slowly calmed down and gradually reduced the number of battles. The Jin Dan cultivators on both sides did not have any losses, only a few people were injured. Instead, the low-tier cultivators of the Foundation Establishment and Qi Mount Mount Lianhua stages below had quite a few deaths and injuries.

The only thing that was somewhat strange was that Song Qingming had never seen the Nascent Soul cultivators of both sides appear since he had been on the battlefield for so long.
