The passageway to the ancestral land was near the Nine States. Lu Ye went back to the Nine States to take a look and chatted with Little Nine.
The news of Lu Ye's agreement with Old Tang and Wu Zhuo to merge the realms had spread recently. A large number of Tianji Pillars were placed in the Qingli Dao World, opening up many doors to the Nine States. The entire Qingli Dao World was in the midst of a great migration. When the migration was almost complete, the Tianji Pillars would lead the Qingli Dao World to the Nine States and finally merge the realms. When the time came, the Qingli Dao World would be completely integrated into the Nine States and there would be no distinction between them. The foundation of the Nine States would also be greatly strengthened.
This matter was mainly handled by Wu Zhuo, with Little Nine assisting in the dark. Everything went smoothly.
Without stopping for too long, Lu Ye brought Yiyi and Hu Po to the entrance. With the guidance of the Rainbow God Lotus, they opened the passageway and entered the ancestral land of the Soul Clan.
Yiyi and Hu Po returned to Li Shang's lotus land to cultivate, while Lu Ye went straight to the Starry Sky Pool.
After a while, they met Xu Yuan again.
Lu Ye came to the ancestral land of the Soul Clan mainly to cultivate his Soul Subduing Secret Skill. He had suffered too much in the past. When he fought with the old Rizhao, he was always at a disadvantage in terms of soul power. This was not only because his soul power was inferior to others, but also because he did not have time to cultivate his Soul Subduing Secret Skill.
If soul power was compared to a person's strength, then when he fought with the old Rizhao, Lu Ye was bare-handed. However, the old Rizhao had their own weapons, and those weapons were their Soul Subduing Secret Skill. Of course, Lu Ye was not at an advantage.
This was a journey that every Rizhao had to go through. It was also a painstaking effort. It could be said that Rizhao's cultivation journey was almost constantly polishing his Soul Subduing Secret Skill.
The increase in the Rizhao Realm was not only about the accumulation of one's mana, but more importantly, the consolidation of one's soul. This was because this realm was the cultivation of the Spirit of the Essence, Qi and Spirit.
Lu Ye had some understanding of the Soul Subduing Secret Skill. He had asked Ma Bin and talked about it with Su Yuqing before.
However, in the entire galaxy, the Soul Clan was undoubtedly the most powerful. No matter how strong anyone else was, they were still inferior to the Soul Clan. Soul power cultivation was the foundation of the Soul Clan.
Lu Ye had stayed in Xu Yuan's place for a few days, listening to him explain the mysteries of the Soul Suppressing Secret Magic in simple terms, which had benefited Lu Ye greatly.
If one wanted to cultivate the Soul Subduing Secret Technique, they would first have to make a choice.
Everyone's Soul Subduing Secret Technique was different. Only by finding the one most suitable for oneself would one be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort. If a Soul Subduing Secret Technique was not suitable for oneself, forcing oneself to cultivate would naturally slow down the progress of one's growth.
Lu Ye was now faced with this choice …
He was very troubled.
It wasn't that there was no choice, but that there were too many choices.
Under normal circumstances, the Soul Subduing Secret Technique that the Rizhao chose was the Soul Subduing Secret Technique that they were best at.
When a cultivator reached the Spirit Sea Realm, they would already have a Divine Soul and their own Soul Body. Regardless of which sect a cultivator belonged to, they would more or less practice some Soul Techniques as a means to fight against their enemies.
Using his most proficient soul techniques as a foundation to create a Soul Subduing Secret Technique was undoubtedly the best and most suitable choice.
Then what was the soul technique that he was most proficient in?
Lu Ye looked at the complicated patterns on the burning leaves on the Talent Tree and couldn't help but fall into deep thought …
These spirit patterns on the Talent Tree, if he used his magic power to construct them, they would be spirit patterns. But if he used his Soul Force to construct them, they would be divine patterns!
For example, he could use his magic power to construct the Mountain Plate Saber to increase its lethality. He could also construct it with his Soul Force to transform it into a Divine Soul attack to attack the enemy's Spirit Sea.
It could be said that most spirit patterns were also divine patterns, and each divine pattern was a Soul Technique to him.
This was difficult. It wasn't difficult for him to construct these divine patterns. It didn't seem like there was anything special about them, but it could be said that he was very proficient in them.
Seeing him fall into deep thought, Xu Yuan smiled. "There's no need to rush to choose the Soul Subduing Secret Technique. This kind of thing has to be done carefully."
"It's not that there's no suitable one …" Lu Ye came back to his senses. With a thought, his Soul Force surged. "Elder, take a look at this."
Xu Yuan immediately focused his vision. Soul Force was usually invisible. Unless it was too condensed, ordinary people wouldn't be able to see it. But the Soul Race was different. Even the weakest Soul Race could clearly see the flow of Soul Force. This kind of illusory power was clearly visible in their eyes.
Right now, in Xu Yuan's vision, he saw Lu Ye's soul force flow out, and then it quickly spread out. Extremely fine patterns intertwined with each other, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into an oval sphere in front of him.
Xu Yuan was dumbfounded …
After interacting with Lu Ye so many times, he actually didn't know that Lu Ye was a Spirit Rune Master!
Of course, he could tell that Lu Ye was constructing a divine rune at this moment. However, this speed was too shocking. Countless Yin and Yang runes appeared in an instant, perfectly merging with each other. There wasn't the slightest bit of mistake. Even Rizhao shouldn't be able to do this.
He couldn't figure out how Lu Ye did it.
The only thing that puzzled him was that the divine pattern Lu Ye was constructing … why did it look like an egg?
But it wasn't over yet. Xu Yuan could feel that the egg he saw was only an outer shell. Inside, more yin and yang elements were constantly being born and merged, and then evolved into some more wonderful changes.
Kacha … With a light sound, the eggshell shattered like a real object. Then, a huge figure was born from the eggshell.
It spread its wings and gently fluttered, circling above Lu Ye's head. Vigorous Soul Force fluctuations swept out in all directions, as if it really was a living creature!
Its body was still flowing with a faint golden shadow-like substance, as if it was burning with flames.
"Fire Phoenix!" Xu Yuan recognized at a glance that this flying thing that appeared in his field of vision was one of the Four Symbols, the Fire Phoenix.
"Elder, can I use this technique as a Soul Subduing Secret Technique?" Lu Ye asked. Constructing such a soul technique in an instant didn't seem to consume much of his Soul Force.
The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes twitched. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.
What did he mean by "can't"? That was too good!
If the Fire Phoenix of the Four Symbols was used as a Soul Subduing Secret Technique, it was completely possible to surpass ranks and kill enemies. Ordinary sunlight wouldn't be able to block it.
However …
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan said, "This technique is extremely complex. If you really use it as a Soul Subduing Secret Technique, it will consume a lot of energy."
When cultivating the Soul Subduing Secret Technique, the more complex the soul technique was, the more expensive it would be to cultivate it, and the slower it would be to improve.
This was a matter of course.
There were many spirit patterns on the Innate Skill Tree, and there were also many that could become divine patterns. However, the Divine Edge and Holy Guard weren't suitable as the foundation for the Soul Subduing Secret Technique, because they were too simple and monotonous. If Lu Ye really chose these two, his cultivation would naturally be extremely fast, but it might not be of much use in a fight.
Therefore, although Lu Ye seemed to have a lot of choices, in reality, there weren't many. The Fire Phoenix Divine Pattern was the best choice. This thing was much more complex than ordinary divine patterns. Using it as a foundation, it would be difficult to cultivate, but once it was cultivated, the effect it could display in battle was incomparable to the Divine Edge and Holy Guard.
"Moreover, this soul technique only attacks and doesn't defend, isn't it a bit extreme? Brat, you should know that the reason why the Soul Subduing Secret Technique is named Soul Subduing Secret Technique is mainly to guard one's soul. Therefore, most of the Soul Subduing Secret Techniques in Rizhao's Soul Subduing Secret Technique focus on defense, because no one can predict whether they will encounter an enemy stronger than themselves. If they can stabilize their soul, they will be able to perform better in battle," Xu Yuan said.
Lu Ye nodded, "That's true." Then, he suddenly asked, "What did Elder choose as the foundation for the Soul Subduing Secret Technique?"
Xu Yuan smiled faintly, "The cultivation of my Soul Race is different from yours. All of the Soul Race's Soul Subduing Secret Technique's foundation is within themselves, there is no other choice."
"Using your body as the foundation?" Lu Ye was slightly stunned.
Xu Yuan said, "The Soul Race does not have a physical body, so our soul body is our physical body, so this is our only choice."
Lu Ye couldn't help but recall the battle between him and Zi Xuan. Before Bi Chen died, he had urged his Soul Subduing Secret Technique, but it had been casually blocked by Xu Yuan. At that time, Lu Ye hadn't seen any signs of Bi Chen using any method, but now he knew the whole story.
The Soul Race's Soul Subduing Secret Technique was Rizhao's own Soul Subduing Secret Technique, so of course he didn't need to use any other methods.
Lu Ye could also do the same, using his own soul body as the foundation to forge his Soul Subduing Secret Technique, but if he really did so, once he engaged in a soul battle with someone else, they would be able to use their Soul Subduing Secret Technique while he could only face them with his own soul body, greatly increasing the risk.
Seeing Lu Ye fall into contemplation, Xu Yuan smiled slightly, "Take a trip to the Heroic Soul Forest, you might be able to gain something there."
"Heroic Soul Forest?" Lu Ye showed a curious look. He had entered and exited the Soul Race's Ancestral Land many times, but he had never heard of this Heroic Soul Forest.
"That is the resting place of my Soul Race's deceased Rizhao. After they died, their soul bodies dissipated, but many of the Soul Arts they cultivated before their deaths were preserved. You will be able to see all kinds of Soul Arts there and perhaps find one suitable for you." Xu Yuan explained, "Every Soul Race's Rizhao will make a trip there before forging their own Soul Subduing Secret Technique. It can be considered a place of inheritance for my Soul Race."
This was obviously a forbidden area for the Soul Race, and only Rizhao could enter. Ordinary clansmen were not allowed to enter. Although Lu Ye was a human, the Soul Race had never treated him as an outsider.
Since Xu Yuan had good intentions, Lu Ye naturally couldn't refuse. Although he knew that even if he gained something in the Heroic Soul Forest, the Soul Subduing Secret Technique he could choose in the end would be one of the Talent Trees, if it was just to broaden his horizons, there was no problem.
