Chapter 887 - Starting Ancient Cultivation (2/2)

Xue Ying sat cross-legged. Suddenly, a vast World Energy began streaming into his body. He relaxed his entire self–even his soul was completely relaxed. He was allowing the World Energy fuse into his body under the ‘Soul Initiation Technique’.

The Soul Initiation Technique was also known as the ‘Awakening Technique’, or ‘Creation Technique’. It was the most mature version after the earliest predecessors of ancient cultivation perfected this technique through countless failures. Under the guidance of this Soul Initiation technique, only then could the cultivator dig out the potential of the body and of the soul, eventually awakening the strongest innate skill one had!

Naturally, it was possible for one to awaken multiple innate skills too.

Nonetheless, it did not mean that the more skills one had, the stronger he would be. More importantly, it depended on how far one could walk in the Dao of his innate skill.

Without any frustration… without any worry…

A piece of emptiness…

Xue Ying could no longer feel his body. His soul was incomparably relaxed at this moment. The distance of his perception region was continuously expanding. He was able to perceive an old forest deep within the mountain, and also the vast grassland outside the deep mountains. The perception of his soul was continuously spreading out in all directions… and currently, it had reached a region that far outstripped the distance he could achieve with any of his secret techniques.

Even using the Plate Ripple Diagram would not allow him to reach one-ten-thousandth the current region.

But using the Soul Initiation technique meant completely immersing oneself into digging the potential of his soul. At this moment, it was akin to the soul fusing as one with the world. Only then could the cultivator perceive an incomparably colossal region. Nevertheless, this was not appropriate to use during battles.

“Hua.”

It was like a desolate desert. Suddenly, spring water began gushing out.

It was also similar to having an oil lamp lighting up in an endless expanse of darkness.

The potential hidden within Xue Ying’s body and soul were dug out, forming a complete talent.

“Hu~”

Within the wooden house deep in the mountains, Xue Ying who was seated there for more than 10,000 years, suddenly began emanating a dull red aura. It spread out in all directions. This aura brought along a strong, enticing energy. The weaker ones would just fall into an illusory realm unknowingly the moment they smelled this.

Xue Ying slowly opened his eyes.

‘I’ve awakened.’ Xue Ying immediately inspected his soul and body to see if there were any transformations. He felt shocked the next moment: ‘Nightmare technique?’

There were very few changes that happened to his soul and body. The aura that his body emitted was filled with an enticing energy. The aura his soul released could even guide others into an illusory realm!

There were no direct combat capabilities. This was purely an illusory realm technique.

‘Haha.’ Xue Ying could not help but shake his head and laugh, ‘It seems that I am indeed talented in this aspect of the Mirage. Even after entering ancient cultivation, the talent I awakened, in the end, is also of this sort.’

‘Mn, how should I cultivate next?’

Xue Ying pondered.

Once he had ascertained his talent, the next step would be to think of which path he should take. There were many possible paths, and the better he cultivated his talent, the stronger he would be.

‘This talent specializes in controlling illusory realm. As a result, my soul will be stronger than those at the same level.’ Xue Ying nodded inwardly, ‘Then I shall choose the ‘Vermillion Nightmare Inheritance’.’

Vermillion Nightmare was the name of a mutated beast.

It was a mutated beast that specialized in controlling the illusory realm. The Vermillion Nightmare inheritance had been discovered by Xue Ying from the countless books left behind by Monarch Nine Cloud. Even though it was considered middle-grade amongst the other inheritances, it was the most appropriate for him. This inheritance could be cultivated until the Primal Chaos realm! As for the higher realm, ‘Cosmos God’? How many Cosmos Gods were there since the primitive Ancient Sacred World era until now?

And how many had cultivated in ancient cultivation? Few of the ancient cultivation inheritances could directly be trained to the Cosmos God realm. He only knew of three of them, and none were appropriate for himself.

‘There are many Cosmos Gods who actually started their own Dao path. Like Ancestor Sorcerer and Ancestor Cang. Even though the Vermillion Nightmare inheritance is a Primal Chaos realm inheritance, I can similarly initiate my own Dao in the future and bring it to the Cosmos God level.’ Xue Ying thought.

He was still quite satisfied with this inheritance.

It was the most appropriate for him, and the most helpful one out of all.
