Thump, thump, thump, thump … The tall stone statue took heavy steps and walked into the entrance of the Spirit Husbandry Castle.
As soon as it entered the Spirit Husbandry Castle, the stone statue put Xia Pingan down from its shoulder.
After arriving at the Spirit Husbandry Castle, Xia Pingan felt a little better. At least he didn't vomit blood anymore. His body gradually recovered, but he still felt a little weak.
Why was the blood he coughed out golden? Xia Pingan didn't know. He guessed that this might be the characteristic of a body that could enter the Spirit Realm. Anyway, vomiting blood wasn't a good thing. Moreover, the weakness he felt after vomiting blood was too obvious.
Xia Pingan leaned against the entrance of the castle to rest. He panted and slowly recovered.
At this moment, he discovered that the stone statue that had brought him back to the castle did not return to its original position. Instead, it took heavy steps and silently walked in front of another stone statue that had lost an arm. It extended a hand and pressed it against the stone statue.
Blue runes appeared on the two stone statues at the same time.
The runes on the stone statue that saved Xia Pingan were bright and dazzling, while the runes on the broken stone statue were relatively dim. There were fewer runes on its body.
The stone statue that had saved Xia Pingan opened its mouth, and specks of golden light flew out of its mouth like fireflies. They fell on the body of the broken stone statue, and were absorbed by the broken stone statue. Two more runes appeared on the broken stone statue, and the deep blue runes became slightly brighter.
At the same time, the light on the stone statue that saved Xia Pingan dimmed a little.
Seeing this scene, Xia Pingan was stunned. Was the stone statue saving the other stone statues here? Or was it saving its companion?
The bits of golden light that flew out of the stone statue's mouth were too similar to the golden light left on the monster that was killed just now. The only difference was that one was bigger and the other was smaller.
The next action of the stone statue that saved Xia Pingan confirmed his speculation. In the next few minutes, the stone statue kept repeating what it did just now. It kept walking to the front of the other incomplete and silent stone statues and put its hands on them. After that, it opened its mouth and let the firefly-like golden light fall on the other stone statues.
After absorbing the golden light, the runes on the stone statues flickered and seemed to have recovered a little bit of vitality.
After doing all this, the stone statue silently returned to its original position. It leaned on the giant hammer in its hand and remained motionless. The entire Spirit Husbandry Castle returned to silence.
At this time, Xia Pingan was feeling much better. Thinking of his purpose of coming here, Xia Pingan touched the remaining trace of golden blood on the corner of his mouth. His face became determined again, and he turned around and walked into the castle.
Passing through the passage at the entrance of the castle and the small cold square full of coffins and corpses, Xia Pingan soon arrived at the Spirit Husbandry Hall on the second floor of the castle. He stood in front of the few black stone tablets again.
This time, I should be able to learn the skills of these Spirit Husbandry!
As Xia Pingan thought to himself, he took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Then, he stretched out his hand and spread his fingers. He placed his hand in the middle of the stone tablet with the words' Dream Summoning Technique 'written on it, at the palm depression.
In just an instant, a strange energy came from the black stone tablet and entered Xia Pingan's body through his palm. He felt as if he had been electrocuted.
Xia Pingan closed his eyes and his whole body trembled slightly.
The complete secret method of Dream Spell appeared in Xia Pingan's mind and merged with Xia Pingan's body and consciousness. Just like instincts that Xia Pingan had practiced for thousands of years, he quickly mastered it.
In less than three minutes, Xia Pingan's trembling gradually calmed down. He suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled deeply, and took a step back.
"So powerful!" Xia Pingan murmured to himself, "So those stars are indeed the spirits of high-level life forms in the material world. Dream Spell is true …"
The awesome thing about Dream Spell was that as long as he could lock on and find the other party's astral spirit, once the other party fell asleep, he could use Dream Spell to communicate and send messages to the other party in the dream. He could completely ignore the distance, and no one would know.
After learning the Dream Summoning Technique, Xia Pingan came before the stone tablet with the "Dream Puppet Technique". He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the stone tablet.
This time was the same as last time. In just a few minutes, Xia Pingan had completely fused with the "Dream Puppet Technique".
When he opened his eyes, Xia Pingan could finally confirm that Dream Demon's method of controlling others was Dream Puppet Spell.
Dream Puppet Spell's ability allowed the Spirit Herder to influence the other party's spirit when they were dreaming. He could plant a "puppet seed" in the other party's subconscious without them knowing, turning them into his puppet. Once certain external conditions appeared, the person controlled by Dream Puppet Spell would feel like they were dreaming. Their individual consciousness would be stripped away, and they would completely lose control and perception of their own body. They would become a puppet and do whatever the Spirit Herder wanted them to do.
In the next ten minutes, Xia Pingan learned and mastered all the Spirit Seeking Spell, Dream Creation Spell, and Demon Slaying Sword in one go.
Spirit Seeking Spell allowed the Spirit Herder to lock on to the spirit he was looking for in the vast sea of astral stars.
Dream Creation Spell allowed the person to unknowingly enter a specific dreamscape. This dreamscape was like some kind of powerful illusion spell, but it was even more magical and powerful. It could create an illusion in the mind and consciousness of the person who fell into it, making them unaware that they were in a dream.
It was worth mentioning that Dream Creation Spell could not only be used in the Spirit Realm, but it could also be used outside of the Spirit Realm.
The last spell that Xia Pingan learned was Demon Slaying Sword. Demon Slaying Sword was a spell technique that Spirit Herders used to kill horseshoe pests.
The Spirit Herders' duty was to protect the astral stars in the Spirit Realm from the horseshoe pests' invasion. The astral bodies in the sky were the sheep herders herded by the Spirit Herders.
The monsters that had chased after Xia Pingan on the astral stars were horseshoe pests.
Once astral astral bodies were entangled by horseshoe pests, they would enter a terrifying nightmare. In the nightmare, the horseshoe pests would devour the astral astral body's energy like parasites. At the same time, the astral body's energy would be converted into negative energy that would appear in the nightmare, such as fear, hatred, depression, sadness, and so on …
The astral body's energy was the foundation of all life. Once the energy was exhausted, the physical body would have nothing to rely on and would definitely collapse.
Ordinary people thought that the physical body was the vessel of the astral body, but it was a big mistake. Everyone's astral body was the vessel of the physical body. The astral body was like a magnet, and the physical body was just something attracted by the magnet. Once the magnet lost its magnetism, the attachment and attraction would no longer exist.
Those astral stars were the vessels of the physical body.
After mastering these skills, Xia Pingan's mind was filled with a lot of information about the Spirit Realm and Spirit Herders.
There were different levels of Spirit Herders. Xia Pingan could only come into contact with three levels of Spirit Herders at the moment: Beginner Spirit Herder, Intermediate Spirit Herder, and Advanced Spirit Herder. Above these three levels, there were even higher levels of Spirit Herders. However, Xia Pingan could not come into contact with the information of these higher levels of Spirit Herders at the moment.
The promotion of a Spirit Herder's level was closely related to the Spirit Herder's duties. The most important thing was the number of astral bodies that the Spirit Herder "guarded" …
In addition, the Spirit Herder skills that he had learned in the Spirit Herding Hall today could also be promoted at different levels. As long as the level of a Spirit Herder could be promoted, he would be qualified to enter a higher-level Spirit Herding Castle and master the secret techniques of a higher level of Spirit Herding.
The skills that a Spirit Herder could master were definitely not limited to these five.
At the same time, the Horseshoe Beetle that he had encountered today was not the only one. There were even higher level Horseshoe Beetles and Nightmares.
Spirit Herders and Horseshoe Beetles were natural enemies. Horseshoe Beetles would become stronger by devouring Spirit Herders, and Spirit Herders would become stronger by killing Horseshoe Beetles.
That's right, in the Spirit Realm, the most important thing was soul power.
The golden light that the stone statue had devoured after killing the Horseshoe Beetle was the soul power of the Horseshoe Beetle.
The stone statue's real name was the Spirit Castle Guard. The Spirit Castle Guard was the best companion of a Spirit Herder, and also the strongest force that protected the Spirit Herding Castle.
After mastering the "Devil Slaying Sword", Xia Pingan could clearly sense the state and amount of soul power in his body.
There was no specific quantitative unit that could be used to measure soul power. However, Xia Pingan could use the "Devil Slaying Sword" to measure the amount of soul power in his body. With his current soul power, using the "Devil Slaying Sword" required him to activate the soul power in his body. After a while, the soul power released by the skill would return to his body on its own as if his body was recovering on its own.
His current body could use the "Devil Slaying Sword" a little more than four times. It would be a bit difficult to use it five times. If he wanted to measure the amount of soul power he had, he could use "4.5 slashes" to measure it …
After figuring this out, Xia Pingan did not stay in the Spirit Herding Castle for long. Instead, he quickly left the castle.
He was chased like a dog by the Horseshoe Beetles and almost lost his life. Now that he had the "Devil Slaying Sword" in his hand, Xia Pingan could not wait to find the Horseshoe Beetles to test his sword on.
Almost at the same time that Xia Pingan left the Spirit Herding Castle and stepped into the rolling gray fog, in another part of the Spirit Realm, the terrifying Horseshoe Beetles that were chasing after Xia Pingan earlier were flying in circles in front of a human figure that had also appeared in the Spirit Realm.
"What, you saw another person in the Spirit Realm? Impossible …" After understanding what the Horseshoe Beetles were trying to say, the human figure almost thought that the Horseshoe Beetles were playing with him and immediately shouted.
