Lu Xuan scrutinized these Soul Techniques very attentively, carefully analyzing each and every one of them. It was really difficult to choose. Not only did he want defensive Soul Techniques, but he also had to choose the ones that were suitable for him to cultivate and could be taken out smoothly.
During this period, Lu Xuan saw a few incomparably powerful spirit techniques, such as the Seven Star Soul Control Record, which used the position of the seven stars to connect the souls of seven experts. The seven of them would be united, and the glory of one would be united, and the loss of one would be united. It was both offensive and defensive. If he could find seven Divine Talisman Masters, plus Lu Xuan himself, he was confident that he could compete with Saul in terms of soul power. It was a pity that this spirit technique was not something he could choose to take out. Even if he could, he could not use it.
This was because in order to cultivate this spirit technique, the user had to reach the Heavenly Talisman Master realm. Otherwise, he would not be able to suppress the soul power of seven people.
Lu Xuan nodded, shook his head, was happy, and sighed. Not long after, nearly half of the spirit techniques had been excluded by Lu Xuan.
But hard work did not disappoint him. In the upper middle section of this bookshelf, Lu Xuan's eyes locked on one of the ancient books.
"The Meridian Soul Suppression Diagram..." Lu Xuan mumbled. Rather than calling it a Soul Suppression Diagram, it would be more accurate to call it a Talisman Technique. That was because what was recorded in the book was a set of formation diagrams.
The Meridian Soul Calming Diagram gathered the yin of midnight and the yang of noon. Yin and Yang converged and were used to suppress the soul.
This was a purely defensive talisman diagram, but it was different from ordinary defensive talisman techniques. This diagram could not only use one's own soul power to resist attacks, but also the power of Yin and Yang. If the enemy's soul power attacked, one would not even need to use one's own soul power. Just the power of Yin and Yang would be able to disperse part of the attack.
"This is good." After carefully reading the introduction of the Meridian Soul Calming Diagram, Lu Xuan could not help but smile and nod. This was simply too suitable for him. He had learned the Divine Rune of Yin and Yang from Ling Jin, and already possessed the power of Yin and Yang. He did not need to first cultivate the power of Yin and Yang and then practice inscribing diagrams. Now, as long as he learned how to inscribe this diagram, it would immediately come in handy.
"It's you." Lu Xuan pursed his lips and nodded, reaching his hand towards the diagram.
This time, without any mishaps, Lu Xuan successfully took out the Meridian Soul Calming Diagram. After flipping through it for a bit, Lu Xuan put it into his storage ring. He needed to find a quiet place to calmly practice formation diagrams.
Obtaining two precious books in a row, Lu Xuan was satisfied. These were his trump cards against Saul, and were more important than anything else.
Lu Xuan did not rush to pick anything else after that. While there were still many things that he wanted, he only had five chances to pick, and he did not want to waste them easily. Perhaps he would have to help Ye Wenyan and the others pick up some things when the time came.
Lu Xuan rested for a while, waiting for everyone to finish looking through the diagrams. Then, Lu Xuan gathered everyone's needs, and finally decided to take three more items.
One of them was a protective formation, called the Ten Thousand Swords Soaring Dragon Sword Formation. It used ten thousand swords as the base, protecting the center. Once the formation was activated, the ten thousand swords would fly together, turning into a soaring dragon that could attack or defend.
Ye Wenyan had chosen this formation. He had to be prepared for defeat before victory was won. The Jiuhua Alliance's formation was powerful, but it couldn't compare to the one passed down from the Heavenly Realm. Even if Saul was stronger, he wouldn't be able to break through it easily.
The second item was also a sword formation known as the Seven Saints Immortal Exterminating Sword Formation. What was different from the previous one was that this sword formation was made up of people. With seven people as one, wherever the sword light pointed, it would kill anything that stood in its way.
This sword formation was designed to maximize the strength of the Jiuhua Alliance's cultivators. One person might not be strong enough, but when seven people worked together, their power was not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Ye Wenyan had already calculated that when the time came, the Jiuhua Alliance's cultivators would be divided into groups of seven, and they would pass on this sword formation. The strongest group would naturally be made up of the Ye Family's most powerful cultivators.
Ye Wenyan, Ye Wenjun, Ye Guangjian, Ye Ruida, Ye Wuhen, Ye Haoran, and Lu Xuan. This formation was absolutely dazzling.
Although there were some shortcomings, like Ye Haoran and Lu Xuan, they were all members of the Ye Family. They were of the same bloodline, and they trusted each other. When it came to formations, cooperation was more important than strength. To cooperate well, trust and understanding were necessary.
In truth, Lu Xuan was not considered a weak point. It was just that he was unable to use many of his trump cards while he was in the sword formation. Compared to his seniors, he was truly lacking in terms of his own strength.
As for the last book, it was a body technique. This was the conclusion that Lu Xuan and the others had come up with. Where there's life, there's hope. If they were to encounter Saul, most of the people present, or even all of them, might not be his match. Therefore, escape was their first priority.
This body technique was called Ten Thousand Miles Splitter. It sounded heroic, and its effects were comparable to Little Tanuki's Space Travel, but in reality, it wasn't as powerful.
But using this body technique, one could instantly escape all tracking. Whether it was perception or soulforce tracking, one could vanish right in front of the enemy's eyes. For a period of time, one's speed would increase dramatically, and one would look like they were breaking through the air.
Simply put, this was an enhanced version of the Thunderbolt Flash. Not only could it move a greater distance, but it also had the effect of escaping from the enemy's pursuit. But this was only suitable for escaping. In a real battle, it might not be as useful as the Thunderbolt Flash. After all, the agility of the Thunderbolt Flash was not as good as the Ten Thousand Miles Splitter.
The only good thing about this body technique was that anyone could practice it. The only problem was whether or not they could master it, and how far they could practice it depended on their own luck and understanding. This was predetermined by the heavens, and no one could change it.
Coming out of the Book Depository Pavilion, there were many people who turned their heads back every three steps, as they were reluctant to leave. In their lives, who had seen so many precious books and collections all at once? It was a pity that they could only see them, and not obtain them.
Looking at the appearance of everyone, Lu Xuan only smiled, and didn't say anything. The next Jewel Pavilion might be even more exciting than the Book Depository Pavilion. Even if they obtained the body technique, they might not be able to practice it successfully. But those precious treasures, as long as they could get their hands on them, they would be able to put them to good use!
Even if you were given a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique, you might not be able to practice it successfully. But if you were given a Heaven Ranked Medicinal Pill, you would be able to instantly raise your cultivation by a level after eating it. Comparing the two, it was clear whose stimulation was greater.
Thinking like this in his heart, Lu Xuan had already opened the doors to the Jewel Pavilion. A dazzling array of precious treasures were unscrupulously presented in front of everyone's eyes, stimulating their senses with all their might.
"Oh my god, there are so many medicinal pills …" Ye Wenjun said as he clutched his chest. He felt as though his heart was about to jump out of his chest. To a cultivator, if a body technique was the right path, then medicinal pills would be a shortcut, a cheating tool. Who wouldn't want a cheating tool?
