18 Chapter 18 Sky Mirror Soul Shining (1/2)

A total of six Grade One purple beast soulstones were placed around it, each taking a corner. On the windows were a total of six copper mirrors, shining the light into the room.

Zong Shou was sitting at the center of a room now covered in talisman patterns drawn from fresh blood, looking around and checking carefully if he had missed anything.

Drawing the talisman formation was to ward away outside evils, and also the astral wind that was present everywhere in Heaven and Earth. When spirit masters first created their soul oceans, what they feared most was attracting all sorts of outside evils. If one wasn't careful, their soul would be stolen away, and they would become a vegetable.

Those purple beast soulstones were a special stone created after sealing beast spirits.

They were originally used by spirit masters to improve items and build formations, but were now being used by Zong Shou as a source to absorb spiritual energy.

The Heaven Energy Swallowing Conversion Technique was not limited to the martial path, it was also similar to the incantation techniques of spirit masters!

The Path of Heavens: reduce what is too much, increase what is too little. The Energy Swallowing Technique could steal and take anything, which was why future people saw it as an evil art and listed it into the path of the devil.

Using six soulstones at once was because of Zong Shou's high hopes for himself.

Spirit masters similarly placed a lot of importance on foundations. The quality and scale of the soul ocean directly decided the future achievements of the spirit master.

With the cultivation experience from his last life and the Heaven Energy Swallowing Conversion Technique in his hand, naturally Zong Shou felt really confident.

Confirming that all the talismans and charms were correct, and that Yin Yang and Chuxue also wouldn't disturb him at such a time, Zong Shou directly cut open his middle finger and dripped many drops of fresh blood around.

Only after the entire talisman formation lit up did Zong Shou activate the Energy Swallowing Conversion Technique to absorb and swallow the six soulstones around him. The six beast soulstones gave off a purple glow. From weak to strong, threads of spiritual energy, supported and enhanced by the formation, were infused into the brow of Zong Shou.

However Zong Shou had just absorbed it for a moment when the talisman on top of that soulstone broke. Six loud roars appeared in his ear, and the surrounding beast soulstones all exploded into pieces.

A purple smoke rose out from them, quickly all turning into the shape of igers. They were all close to five feet tall, looking ferocious. They roared towards Zong Shou, looking like they were about to leap at him at any moment.

”You are all dead beasts, unwilling to be slain… Do you still want to harm people?”

Zong Shou gave out a cold laugh. Grade one beast souls were unable to harm people and could only act powerful or launch spiritual energy attacks, their threat level was naturally pitifully low.

However, if the person displaying the skill couldn't keep calm or his heart wavered, or if he was unable to resist the beast soul assault, they would still have a chance of dying.

Zong Shou was mentally prepared, and naturally wouldn't make such mistakes.

In the last life, to practice and cultivate in real life, he had also gone through numerous difficulties and hardship. In this life, pretty much every moment of every day he had to face the pain of his meridians clashing. His stability of his heart was far greater than those experts who hid themselves and didn't appear. As for these external evils, he naturally didn't fear them.

Soul energy was being forcefully sucked out from the beast soulstones, leading them into the Cloud God Point located right between his eyebrows. Zong Shou also started to focus and sink into his own thoughts.

Normally when spirit masters cultivated, they would use Chakra Meridians as their foundations. Meditating everyday, after storing enough soul energy and spirit energy in the Intelligence Chakra Meridian located between the eyebrows, they would try to build the soul ocean.

This entire process, depending on the talent and quality, would take anywhere from one month to three years.

Zong Shou, being unable to practice martial arts after becoming a Martial Master, was a good choice. However the Intelligence Chakra Meridians in his head being dual meridians were a problem that he couldn't avoid. Thus, in three years, he had achieved nothing.

Using the six beast soul stones as a source for energy helped Zong Shou jump directly through the process of accumulation, choosing to build the soul ocean directly.

Spiritual energy all around him as well as the soul energy he snatched directly was moved by him from his God Cloud into his mind.
