A total of 6 grade 1 purple beast spirit stones were placed all around, each occupying an area. On the windowsill, there were 6 bronze mirrors that reflected the moonlight into the room.
Zong Shou sat at the center of this room that was filled with blood runes. He looked around and carefully checked to see if he missed anything.
The puppet formation was drawn to defend against evil and the wind that was everywhere in the world. When spirit masters formed their soul ocean, what they were most afraid of was attracting evil spirits and evil spirits. Often if they weren't careful, their soul would be taken away and they would become totally dumb.
As for those purple beast spirit stones, they were made of a special kind of stone that sealed the soul essences of spirit beasts.
It was originally a material that spirit masters used to craft weapons and cast spells, but now it was used by Zong Shou as a source of soul power.
The heaven swallowing energy conversion technique was not only used in the martial path, but it also had a similar effect on the spirit master's chanting.
The path of the heavens was to take what was in excess and make up for what was in deficiency. As long as it was something that was stronger than one's, the energy swallowing technique could be used to snatch it. This was why it was seen as the top evil technique by the later generations and was placed in the demon path.
Using 6 soul stones at once was what Zong Shou had high hopes for himself.
Spirit masters also paid attention to their foundations, and the quality and size of their soul ocean would directly decide their future achievements.
With the experience of cultivation from his previous life and the Heaven Devouring Energy Conversion Technique in his hands, he was naturally ambitious with such conditions.
All the talismans were correct, and Yin Yang and Chu Xue wouldn't disturb him at this moment. Zong Shou directly cut open his middle finger, scattering tens of drops of blood all around.
When the entire puppet formation shone with spiritual light. Zong Shou used the heaven swallowing energy conversion technique and swallowed the 6 soul stones around him. It caused the 6 beast spirit stones to give out a purple glow. From weak to strong, threads of soul power under the buff of the puppet formation injected into Zong Shou's brow.
However, Zong Shou only absorbed for a moment before the talismans on the soul stones started to break apart. Six tiger roars sounded in his ears one after another. At the same time, the Beast Spirit Stones around him exploded into pieces.
A wisp of purple smoke flew out from each of them. In just an instant, they each took the form of a tiger. All of them were nearly ten feet tall and looked ferocious. It opened its bloody mouth and roared at Zong Shou, as if it was going to pounce on him at any moment.
"They are all dead beasts, unwilling to be slaughtered. Could it be that they still want to hurt people?"
Zong Shou sneered. A rank one beast soul was unable to harm anyone. It could only intimidate or attack with soul power. Naturally, Power's soul was pitifully small.
However, if the person using this technique was unable to maintain his composure, or if his mind was shaken, or if he was unable to withstand the impact of these beast spirits, he would still face the risk of death.
Zong Shouxin knew that he would never make such a mistake.
In his previous life, in order to practice martial arts in the real world, he had experienced countless difficulties and hardships. In this life, pretty much every day, he had to experience the pain of bloodline conflicts. His mental state was even stronger than those Ascended Realm experts. Naturally, he wasn't afraid of some external evils.
Soul power was still forcefully extracted from the Beast Spirit Stones thread by thread and directed into the Shenxiao acupoint at the center of his brows. Zong Shou also started to focus and sink into his mind.
Normally, when spirit masters cultivated, they used the Chakra Meridian as the foundation. Meditating every day, after accumulating enough soul power and spiritual energy in the Mind Chakra at the head, they would build up the Soul Ocean.
The entire process, depending on one's talent, would take anywhere from a month to three years.
Zong Shou was unable to practice martial arts, so becoming a spirit master was also a way out. However, the two Mind Chakras at the head were still a hurdle that couldn't be avoided. After wasting three years, he still didn't achieve anything.
At this moment, with the six Beast Spirit Stones as the source of soul power, Zong Shou directly skipped the accumulation process and chose to directly build up the Soul Ocean.
The spiritual energy from all around, as well as the soul power that was forcefully extracted, was directly charged into his soul from the Shenxiao acupoint.
Zong Shou skillfully condensed it into a point while drawing various talismans within. A total of thirty-six talismans were hidden within.
However, he could feel that there was a repulsive force under the energy ocean that was interfering with the gathering of his spiritual energy.
This was the conflict between internal energy and soul power. Zong Shou had expected it, but at this moment, it was extremely weak and could be totally ignored.
When the soul power and spiritual energy were all compressed to the extreme, it suddenly exploded out. When it formed once more, it formed a whirlpool-like purple ball of energy.
This was the so-called Soul Ocean. From now on, his soul had a true core, and was the foundation of a spirit master's cultivation. However, at this moment, it was far from being worthy of the word "Sea". It could only be said to be a true soul seed that needed a lot of effort to grow.
Zong Shou heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed his mind. The entire process sounded really simple. However, from ancient times till now, numerous people who cultivated spells all fell at this step.
However, when he continued to meditate, he felt a little worried. Who knew if it was because his Soul Ocean had a portion of the heaven swallowing energy conversion technique's specialty mixed in?
The Soul Ocean that was formed wasn't the pellet shape of a normal person, but a small whirlpool. Not only was it swallowing spiritual energy from all around, but it was also absorbing the scattered spiritual energy! The amount was really small, not even a drop in the ocean when he used the energy swallowing technique. However, at every moment, there would be new spiritual energy that would merge into his soul without any restraint.
He felt a little regretful. He didn't know if such a mutation was good or bad.
"Without purposely controlling it, I can automatically swallow spiritual energy and spiritual energy. Isn't that the same as meditating at every moment? However, when a spirit master cultivates, the most important thing is the purity of the soul. Using the energy swallowing technique to cultivate the path of a spirit master is something that I have no choice about. Forget it, anyways there is a way to solve this. At most, I will have to suffer a little more … "
Sighing bitterly, a sharp glow appeared in Zong Shou's eyes. With a heavy scoff, the six green tigers that were forcefully sucked dry couldn't take it anymore. They turned into a ball of green smoke, turning from thick to thin.
When he looked out of the window, he saw that the moon was hanging high in the night sky.
"Unknowingly, 4 hours have already passed. Now that midnight is about to arrive, it is the right time! "
Building the Soul Ocean was something that would happen naturally. At this moment, it was the most crucial moment!
He took out a total of nine high-grade sandalwood incense sticks, burning them one by one before sticking them in front of his body. Zong Shou closed his eyes once more and started to visualize.
Using the 12 layer of the building method, he imagined that his soul was climbing up layer by layer. When he reached the last layer, Zong Shou shouted out once more.
"Out of Body!"
Instantly, a light smoke drilled out from the back of Zong Shou's head. It was indiscernible and couldn't be seen, only the center area was slightly thicker.
At the same time, countless Soul Essences and Evil Spirits of different sizes appeared outside the Raze Formation. They were all staring aggressively, continuously attacking. However, they were all blocked outside by balls of purple light.
There was also the wind of heaven and earth that blew in from the outside, seeping in bit by bit. Zong Shou's soul just slightly touched it and it shook intensely, nearly collapsing.
"What a fierce gale! Even after being blocked by my formation, it still has such strength. Ten thousand years ago, the environment of heaven and earth was actually so bad. No wonder in ancient times, when spirit masters cultivated, they had to complete the Focus Concentration, Soul Illumination, and Spirit Cultivation steps before they could truly go out of body … "
Using all his strength, Zong Shou gathered his soul and shrunk it into a ball, hanging half an inch above his body as he waited quietly.
Just right after midnight, he saw the moonlight reflected in the six copper mirrors slowly gather at one point. At the center of the six beams of moonlight was Zong Shou's soul.
After an instant, traces of the Sun Essence Flame were faintly discernible.
