Chapter 329: Soul-Devouring Technique

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

Half a year later, on a small hillside without a trace of 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 as it had crawled only ten steps away from its nest underground, suddenly from a large tree on the side, a cyan wolf-shaped monster jumped down fiercely, pressing it directly under its huge sharp claws, and bit the python's neck fiercely, making it unable to move on the ground.

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

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 spell sound 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 long been destined.

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

As soon as the cyan-robed man saw the appearance of this small light ball, his heart was quickly overjoyed. 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 rays of light shot out from the golden round bowl, rolled up the 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 the divine soul of this monster beast 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: "The divine soul of a monster beast with this intensity can barely make do. Your divine soul is still too weak now, and you can only start practicing from absorbing these low-tier monster beast divine souls. When you practice to the second level of the Soul-Devouring Technique, you can go and look for some relatively powerful divine souls.

This cultivation technique cannot be too eager for success, and can only be gradual. It took me nearly ten years to practice to the second level 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 practice to a high tier."

Hearing the voice of approval, the cyan-robed man also breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden. For this period of time, in order to find a suitable monster beast divine soul, he had been busy finding time to look for it for half a month, and today he finally had a harvest.

This cyan-robed man was 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 practicing 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 at least be practiced to the Golden Core realm. Song Qingming, who obtained this cultivation technique, soon decided to put down the practice of the Soul-Forging Technique first and switch to practicing this set of cultivation techniques.

The method of the Soul-Devouring Technique to improve the divine soul is mainly to rely 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 is a cultivation technique that requires a lot of patience.

Moreover, the monster beast divine souls that need to be devoured in the early stage cannot be too strong, and collecting them is also very troublesome, because the divine souls of these too low-tier monster beasts are really too fragile. If the soul-collecting technique he performs is not controlled well, it is 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 can 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 is much slower than that of the Soul-Forging Technique. However, after practicing to the second level, as the soul that can be devoured and practiced becomes stronger and stronger, the speed of practice will slowly increase. In the end, as long as there is a sufficient supply of divine souls, the speed will be even stronger than other divine soul cultivation techniques.

However, this cultivation technique has a taboo, which is that it must never devour the divine souls of human cultivators. Although this can improve the progress of practice faster, if it cannot be controlled, it is very easy to cause the cultivator's divine soul to affect their own intelligence, and ultimately make the practitioner a crazy person with abnormal intelligence.

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

This puppet beast is named Chifeng Beast, and it is a second-tier low-grade puppet beast that is good at speed.

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

During 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 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 Spirit Concealment Sect and the Heaven Sea Alliance had been fighting and stopping. Both sides also had a tacit understanding on the battlefield. Today, Golden Core cultivators fought a great battle, and tomorrow, Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Refining cultivators fought each other.

Anyway, everyone strictly followed the fair rules of the battlefield and would never send high-tier cultivators to the battlefield of low-tier cultivators to slaughter the low-tier cultivators of the opponent.

After fighting for several months like this, both sides who didn't get any cheap slowly calmed down and gradually reduced the number of battles. The Golden Core cultivators of both sides didn't have any losses, only a few people were injured, but the low-tier Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators below had heavy casualties.

The only strange thing is that Song Qingming had never seen the Nascent Soul cultivators of both sides appear after staying on the battlefield for so long.
