"Like humans, wild beasts also have feelings and thoughts. Not only wild beasts, even small insects have feelings and thoughts. If you want to master the skill of controlling animals, you have to ignore the bodies of wild beasts and try to communicate with them from the inside!" Crell explained patiently.
After learning the "Great Wilderness Sutra", Zhang Tie became more curious about the controlling skills of other schools. Of course, he didn't want to learn them; instead, he wanted to pretend to be good at controlling animals. Zhang Tie felt interested in Crell's words.
"I don't understand. Why do you ignore the bodies of wild beasts? What's the use?"
"Because human consciousness is the most mysterious domain in the universe. When you focus your attention on the body of the beast you see, you are actually telling yourself that because its body is different from yours, it is different from you. When you have this thought, you are resisting communicating with it. Your consciousness is treating its body as an obstacle for you to communicate with it, so you can't reach its innermost being!"
It sounded reasonable. However, it sounded a bit mysterious. After thinking about it for a short while, Zhang Tie asked, "Do other animal controllers communicate with wild beasts in this way?"
"No, it's just the secret method of the Patron School. Among other animal controllers, some low-level animal controllers control beasts by compulsive behavior training and drugs; some better ones can hypnotize animals; some can use illusion skill; some are proficient in animal language; some senior animal controllers are also proficient in secret methods such as blood contract and soul contract to control beasts; however, it's said that there are more mysterious and powerful animal controlling methods in the Eastern Continent!" Speaking of Eastern Continent, Crell slightly narrowed his eyes as if he had a yearning look, "I heard that the most powerful and terrifying animal controller in Eastern Continent could even transform himself into those powerful mutated beasts and make those mutated beasts his doppelgangers!"
Zhang Tie's heart pounded as he knew what Crell was talking about. He had not imagined that the Great Wilderness Sect was so famous. However, he didn't pretend to be shocked; instead, he directly revealed his shocked look, "How could there be such a powerful animal controller who could transform into his incarnations? Do those animal controllers also belong to a school? That school must be very powerful!"
"The school that those animal controllers belong to was indeed very powerful; however, it's been exterminated now!"
"Destroyed? How is this possible?"
"It was precisely because of the power of the Beast Taming Technique that led to their demise. Just like the ancient wisdom of the East, as long as you possess priceless treasures, even if you are not guilty, the greed of the human heart will convict you!"
After thinking for a while, Zhang Tie understood that Crell's words should be "an innocent man will get into trouble because of his wealth". This was also what he was worried about.
"Is there anyone else who has grasped the animal controlling skill of that sect?" Zhang Tie asked, even though he knew the answer.
"That sect has been destroyed for too long. Now, no one has mastered the core beast taming technique of that sect!"
"What a pity!" Thinking of that skeleton in the cave, Zhang Tie sighed sincerely. Fate was really hard to predict. Even if one had grasped such a powerful secret skill that everyone desired, that person might also live in fear. Finally, he could only accompany a swarm of demon rats and die in a mountain cave in a deep valley in the Barbarian Land.
"Perhaps this is the will of the God!" Crell also sighed.
In the following hours, Crell started to impart the animal controlling skill of wild patron to Zhang Tie. In Crell's words, these contents were not the most profound; because the most profound contents could only be imparted to Zhang Tie after he became a clergyman of the school of patron. However, if Zhang Tie had the potential to learn these contents well, it would be enough for him. As long as he worked hard, he could command 3-5 wild beasts or find one or two powerful beasts as his pets in Ice and Snow Wilderness.
The animal controlling skill that Crell imparted to Zhang Tie was a marvelous spiritual connection with wild beasts based on the secret prayers of Gaia, the Mother of Earth, which was believed by the school of patron. Zhang Tie's "Nature's Heart" was the medium and bridge of this connection. Crell described this connection as an internal communication with wild beasts. However, in Zhang Tie's opinion, the animal controlling skill of wild patrons was more like a cooperation with wild beasts on the basis of equal relationship; instead of driving wild beasts alone. The secret prayers of Gaia, the Mother of Earth, were a kind of cooperation contract between wild patrons and wild beasts.
By contrast, the animal controlling skill of Hua people's "Great Wilderness Sutra" was completely domineering. Communication and prayers were all bullsh * t. "This father is the heart of the world, the most honorable dominator in the world, the incarnation of the world and the universal laws. You insects, fishes, birds and beasts have to follow my orders. It's your honor to be ordered by me and follow my will."
"Why could I drive wild beasts in different ways?" Zhang Tie thought about it carefully as he found that it was out of his intelligence and comprehension ability. However, now that it existed and worked, it must be reasonable and allowed by the universal laws. After comparing the animal controlling skill of school of patron with that of Great Wilderness Sect, Zhang Tie felt that the secret skill of Great Wilderness Sect suited his taste better.
Besides the All-spirits Pagoda, Zhang Tie didn't know what the heart of nature was at all. Neither could he sense the existence of Gaya. Additionally, Zhang Tie was still doubting whether Gaya, the mother of earth, had such a supreme consciousness. In this case, Zhang Tie estimated that he might have a higher probability of being exposed than of success if he wanted to master the animal controlling skill of school of patron.
After memorizing the secret prayers of Gaya, the Mother of Land that Crell taught him, Zhang Tie didn't waste any more time.
…
On the next morning, Zhang Tie woke up the earliest. Before daybreak, he had been woken up by his biological clock. When Zhang Tie woke up, Crell was still in a sound sleep. Unless being disrupted by an accident, a wild patron would always wake up when the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth. Everything should be done according to the law of nature, which was also the dogma of school of patron.
After waking up, Zhang Tie washed himself by the brook outside the mountain cave. After that, he sat on a rock outside the mountain cave and recited the secret prayers of Gaya, the mother of earth that he had just learned yesterday. Actually, he was injecting his spiritual energy into the body of the All-spirits Pagoda according to the secret ritual and visualization method in the "Great Wilderness Sutra" in his mind sea.
As Zhang Tie constantly injected his spiritual energy into the body of the All-spirits Pagoda, the five walls on the first storey of the All-spirits Pagoda gradually radiated colorful lights. In such colorful lights, a jujube-seed-sized light ball gradually came into being in the middle of the space on the first storey of the All-spirits Pagoda.
This octahedron was called Great Wilderness Seal in the "Great Wilderness Sutra". It was the main body of the 5 animal controlling skills in the "Great Wilderness Sutra". If Zhang Tie wanted to apply different secret skills, he had to "carve" different secret skill seals on this blank Great Wilderness Seal. With different secret skill seals, this Great Wilderness Seal would have different functions.
As Zhang Tie had just started to cultivate "Great Wilderness Sutra", his spiritual energy could only enter the first storey of All-spirits Pagoda. The first storey of All-spirits Pagoda could produce 3 Great Wilderness Seals at most. Additionally, the 3 Great Wilderness Seals could only be used on LV 0 living beings like common wild wolves. As for living beings above LV 0, the Great Wilderness Seals on the first storey of All-spirits Pagoda would not work anymore.
If Zhang Tie could enter the 2nd floor of All-spirits Pagoda, he would be able to form more Great Wilderness Seals on the 2nd floor of All-spirits Pagoda. Meanwhile, the upper limit of the living beings that could be affected by Great Wilderness Seals would increase to LV 1. High-level Great Wilderness Seals could work on low-level living beings; however, low-level Great Wilderness Seals could not work on high-level living beings.
Later on, with each higher level of cultivation of "Great Wilderness Sutra", the number of Great Wilderness Seals that could be formed in All-spirits Pagoda and the level of living beings that could be activated would increase correspondingly. It was interesting that the number of Great Wilderness Seals that could be formed in different storeys of All-spirits Pagoda was also based on the Fibonacci sequence starting from 3. Therefore, Zhang Tie faintly sensed the wonder of the Creator.
"Could I control LV 20 living beings after cultivating" Great Wilderness Sutra "to the highest degree?" This question startled Zhang Tie for quite a while. Until now, Zhang Tie had not seen any living being above LV 10, not to mention LV 20. Such a living being was like Gaya, which was a problem for Zhang Tie to even exist, not to mention to control it. According to the annotations left by someone in Great Wilderness Sect in "Great Wilderness Sutra", very few people in Great Wilderness Sect could cultivate "Great Wilderness Sutra" to LV 16. All of them had become elders of Great Wilderness Sect, not to mention LV 21.
After building his foundation, Zhang Tie could directly enter the first storey of All-spirits Pagoda with his spiritual energy, which represented Zhang Tie's level of cultivation of "Great Wilderness Sutra". If he wanted to enter the second storey of All-spirits Pagoda, he had to recite the endless true words of "Great Wilderness Sutra" for 500,000 times. The number of true words was also based on the number of Great Wilderness Seals that could be formed in the pagoda in the form of Fibonacci sequence. The higher the level, the more true words he needed to recite. In the end, the number was terrifying.
Another truth that "Great Wilderness Sutra" reminded Zhang Tie that there was no free lunch in the world. Even though he had an unrivaled secret knowledge, if he didn't make down-to-earth efforts, it would not work.
The only thing that comforted Zhang Tie was that he needed to cultivate and recite true words continuously for 7 days when he built his foundation for the first time. As long as he visualized and recited according to the rules of "Great Wilderness Sutra", he would constantly recite those true words. When he reached the required amount, he would be able to reach the corresponding realm.
Another truth that "Great Wilderness Sutra" reminded Zhang Tie that everything in the world was limited. All the disciples of Great Wilderness Sect who cultivated "Great Wilderness Sutra" could only apply the 5 secret skills in the "Great Wilderness Sutra" for a certain number of times. The total number of Great Wilderness Seals that could be formed in different levels of All-spirits Pagoda was the total number of times that they could apply the 5 secret skills in their lives. If they ran out of Great Wilderness Seals, they would not be able to apply the secret skills anymore.
From this point of view, Zhang Tie felt that the number of Great Wilderness Seals was like the bolts in a crossbow, which could not be retrieved after being shot out. As long as they ran out of Great Wilderness Seals, they would just become decorations unless they reached a higher level and entered a higher storey of All-spirits Pagoda.
Because of this reason, after the Great Wilderness Seals formed in each storey of All-spirits Pagoda, it became a problem for everybody to apply them.
"Move", "Breath", "Increase", "Control" and "Transform" — — the 5 secret skills had their own functions and could be used in different situations to achieve different purposes. It was completely up to you what kind of seals you wanted to form and how to use them. If you could use them well, it would depend on your ability. If you wasted them, there would be no medicine for regret in this world.
Zhang Tie had seriously considered about how to use the first Great Wilderness Seal that he had just formed.
The secret skill of the section "Summon" was a bit complex. Besides the Great Wilderness Seal, it also required some other conditions. Additionally, Zhang Tie couldn't figure out what animal he needed to summon in Grey Hill. It was really not worthwhile to waste a Great Wilderness Seal for such a strange reason. Therefore, Zhang Tie directly passed the Great Wilderness Seal of the section "Summon".
Based on the same reason, Zhang Tie passed the Great Wilderness Seal of "Control" and "Transform", leaving only the Great Wilderness Seal of "Control" and "Transform".
As Cloud Crane's will mentioned that the soul-based animal controlling skill as the core of "Transform" would consume a lot of one's qi, blood and the source of one's soul, even though Zhang Tie wanted to have a try on this secret skill of Great Wilderness Sect, after considering it for a short while, Zhang Tie gave up this thought for the time being.
'Perhaps, I can find a pet to play with first. '
'Perhaps, I can find a pet to play with first. 'Zhang Tie thought. After a short while, some marvelous green grains had appeared on the octahedron of the Great Wilderness Seal on the first storey of All-spirits Pagoda. Those green grains interweaved into a mysterious pattern and were engraved on the eight inclined surfaces of the Great Wilderness Seal. After being completed, the Great Wilderness Seal turned into a green light ball and floated in the space on the first storey of All-spirits Pagoda quietly.
...
After forming the first Great Wilderness Seal, the first wisp of sunshine finally shone onto the ground. Crell then walked out of the mountain cave. At the sight of Zhang Tie cultivating the animal controlling skill that he taught Zhang Tie so "assiduously", Crell nodded inside.
After finding Crell, Zhang Tie stopped his disguise. No matter what, he just wanted to give Crell an impression that he was diligently cultivating the animal controlling skill of Wild God School. As long as Crell had this impression, Crell would not be too shocked about what Zhang Tie did in the future. If Crell was not shocked, Zhang Tie would have achieved his purpose. With this cover, everything would be smooth and he would not be doubted by Zhang Tie anymore.
Zhang Tie opened his eyes as he saw Crell standing in front of him and looking at the west with a solemn look.
"What's wrong?"
"Just now, I sensed a powerful tyrannical qi coming from there, destroying the original peace of this land. That qi is very similar to the qi waves when a powerful beast tamer performs a beast taming secret technique!"
"That person is over there?" Zhang Tie slightly quivered, "Can you confirm his specific location?"
"No!" Crell shook his head, "As a wild patron who believes in Gaia, I could only sense the direction of that qi with the ability that Gaia gifted to me. I can only confirm that that person is in the west!"
After hearing Crell's words, Zhang Tie also looked towards the luxuriant mountain in the west...
The first ray of sunlight had just appeared in the east. Before it could shine on the land in the west, the hills in the west were shrouded in a layer of fading darkness like monsters, stubbornly resisting the arrival of sunlight...
"We're getting closer and closer to him. He could not escape!" Zhang Tie jumped off the rock and rushed into the mountain cave. He then ran out with his two short spears.
The moment Zhang Tie ran out of the cave, the huge black eagle, which was resting on a big tree not far from the mountain cave, flapped its wings and flew towards the west.
"As usual, 10 km away from each other. If I find him, I will call you!" Zhang Tie patted the bone whistle over his neck. Crell nodded.
That bone whistle was given to him by Crell. Although it was silent, as long as Zhang Tie blew it within 30 km, Crell would come to him. It was a marvelous infrasonic whistle made by Crell, which could only be heard by Crell. If Crell called Zhang Tie, he would have the black eagle lead the way for Zhang Tie.
These days, the two people would move separately in the daytime and move forward side by side. They would gather together in the evening to exchange information and discuss the details of tomorrow's action.
The advantage of moving separately in such a place was that they could have two times more chances to find that person.
