Chapter 195: Little Caterpillar’s Main Cultivation Technique
Chapter 195: Little Caterpillar’s Main Cultivation Technique
“This Shadow-Splitting Sword… is a bit similar to the psychic-type Shadow Clone.”
Wang Che looked at the introduction of this move.
The psychic type had a move called Shadow Clone. It used the Soul Pet’s strong mental power to create a clone, which did not have attacking power and could be used to disrupt the opponent’s attacks.
This move was a functional Soul Skill of the psychic type, not a Core Soul Skill.
But it was very important.
Wang Che checked the description of the Shadow Clone Soul Skill and confirmed that this move was not offensive.
When the Proficiency Level was maxed out, it could only create a few more illusions to disturb the opponent’s perception.
“The sword spirits split by the Shadow-Splitting Sword have half the strength of the original… and the stronger the Spiritual Power, the more splits it can make… this… is indeed much more powerful than Shadow Clone.”
Wang Che pondered.
If Magnetic Sword learned it and maxed out the Proficiency Level.
Once Spiritual Power increased, when fighting… would it directly become like ten thousand swords returning to their origin?
“If it can split… then the sword formations in the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Scripture, or other sword formations… could they be learned too?”
Wang Che looked at Magnetic Sword.
It was as if he saw the little guy in the future, facing a million enemies with one sword, then swish swish swish splitting into Magnetic Sword clones, forming a super Sword Formation, crushing the enemies…
“The imagery is too strong…”
Wang Che could not help but say.
Sword Formations, whether for humans or swords, required at least three or more to form a Sword Formation.
In the Cultivation World, Sword Formations contained natural changes, the principles of heaven and earth, and various Sword Intents. Once formed, they could use small means to defeat big ones, kill countless enemies, and even fight opponents several times stronger.
But Sword Formations were not easy to set up. Even if one knew the methods and tricks, the requirements for the swords were very high. Usually, only specialized sword cultivators would study various Sword Formations.
“As an Inheritance Soul Skill, the Shadow-Splitting Sword allows the split sword shadows to have considerable strength, and there is no upper limit stated… meaning that as Proficiency Level increases, as long as Spiritual Power is sufficient, it can even split into countless sword shadows… this move has a very high ceiling…”
“The learning requirement is that Magnetic Sword must have a certain level of Spiritual Power, which also meets the conditions for learning this move.”
“It should be quite difficult to learn it completely, but inheriting it should be possible, and it can be learned slowly later.”
Wang Che pointed at the portrait and said, “Learn this move, and in the future, you will be even cooler than Little Caterpillar.”
When Magnetic Sword heard this, it got excited.
So what was it waiting for?
Magnetic Sword directly flew over to Sword Spirit Bear.
It began to inherit and learn.
The process of inheritance was also a process of cultivation.
Last time, Green Caterpillar inherited once here and gained a hundred years of cultivation.
It was equivalent to two or three months of hard training.
Wang Che watched as the two little guys each entered a state of learning.
He was in no hurry and began to look at the other Ancient Soul Beast shadows.
Wang Che first walked to the shadow of Empty God Dragon.
Compared to the real Empty God Dragon, this shadow was obviously very small. The space inside probably could not even hold the real Empty God Dragon.
“A pocket-sized Empty God Dragon. Unfortunately, the shadow is dark, so I don’t know what it inherited back then.”
Wang Che smiled.
But no matter what was inherited, Green Caterpillar had it all.
Compared to this incomplete inheritance, Green Caterpillar obtained the complete inheritance.
Then Wang Che looked at the other shadows.
He wanted to see if there were any other familiar Ancient Soul Pets.
“I wonder if that Super Illusion Dragon is here…”
Wang Che searched around and found that there seemed to be no Soul Beast shadow of Super Illusion Dragon.
“Not here, what a pity.”
After walking around, Wang Che had seen some Ancient Soul Beasts during his battle with the Illusion Guard Beast last time.
Some he had never seen at all.
“In the future, I need to open this Ancient Soul Beast Atlas more often, to inherit the Inheritance Soul Skills of some Ancient Soul Beasts. Even if Magnetic Sword and Green Caterpillar can’t learn them, other Soul Pets can learn…”
Wang Che sighed.
Opening the Ancient Soul Beast Atlas was relatively difficult.
But as Empty God Dragon said, the humans and Soul Beasts of the Fallen Ancient Era studied this thing to prevent extinct Soul Beasts from being unable to pass down their unique skills.
Since he obtained this item, no matter how difficult it was, he had the responsibility to pass down these Soul Skills.
On the other side.
Magnetic Sword and Green Caterpillar’s Soul Power Cultivation rose rapidly.
This kind of inheritance cultivation only happened once.
And this time it took a bit longer than last time.
After most of the day, Magnetic Sword and Green Caterpillar slowly woke up.
Wang Che first walked over and asked Green Caterpillar:
“Did you remember it?”
Green Caterpillar lowered its head in thought, and after a while, it nodded.
It seemed that it had inherited it. It already knew it in its mind. Whether it could fully master and use it would depend on later training.
Wang Che looked at Magnetic Sword on the other side.
“Zzz zzz zzz!”
Magnetic Sword’s body glowed slightly, and a strong Soul Power aura continuously emanated from it.
Its Soul Power Cultivation rose from over four hundred and sixty years to over five hundred and ninety years.
A huge increase!
“Very good, you both inherited it.”
Wang Che nodded with satisfaction. At this time, the space inside the Atlas gradually darkened.
He took Magnetic Sword and Green Caterpillar out.
Wang Che looked at his wrist and saw that the triangular energy mark of the Atlas had also dimmed, and the five energy bars returned to zero.
“…”
He did not know when the next opening would be.
But for now, they had obtained two new Inheritance Soul Skills… and their cultivation had also skyrocketed.
Especially Green Caterpillar, which directly reached nine hundred years of Soul Power Cultivation.
“Cultivating too fast, in the next two weeks, you should focus on training Soul Skills. Slow down the Soul Power Cultivation training and solidify the rapidly increased cultivation, otherwise problems might occur later.”
Wang Che did not require them to learn it immediately.
Inheritance Soul Skills were relatively difficult to learn.
It was not easy to master them in a short time.
Over the next two weeks, Wang Che used the remaining more than 2.5 million to buy some resources for his own cultivation.
He needed to cultivate more Hundred-Tempered Soul Force and aimed to fully materialize the Spirit Field inside the first floor of the Myriad Treasure Dao Palace before entering university, while also expanding the space of the first floor of the Myriad Treasure Dao Palace.
This was to prepare for farming after starting university.
“The Martial Soul Essence Crystal rewarded by the Qihang Cup was too expensive… even the lower-quality ones cost tens of thousands per piece… and the slightly better ones cost over 100,000 per piece.”
While selecting resources for himself, Wang Che felt that he did not have enough money.
The Martial Soul Essence Crystal rewarded by the Qihang Cup was of relatively good quality.
Just one piece could help him cultivate one strand of Hundred-Tempered Soul Force.
It was equivalent to a week of hard cultivation.
It was important to know that, given the quality of his Martial Soul at that time, one week of hard cultivation could equal several months, or even a year, of cultivation for others.
This one strand of Hundred-Tempered Soul Force was not simple.
If one piece could save a week of hard cultivation time, it was not too expensive.
This item was a cultivation resource for Soul Pact Masters, and ordinary people could not use it at all.
Wang Che spent 2 million to buy about ten slightly better-quality Martial Soul Essence Crystals.
He kept the remaining 500,000 for daily expenses after starting university.
He bought them on the first day, and they arrived that same afternoon.
The ten Martial Soul Essence Crystals he bought this time were slightly less effective than the ten rewarded by the Qihang Cup.
Wang Che estimated that these ten Martial Soul Essence Crystals could only help him gain four more strands of Hundred-Tempered Soul Force.
“Fifteen strands of Hundred-Tempered Soul Force should be almost enough.”
Wang Che thought for a moment, “There are still two weeks left. By then, I should have eighteen strands of Hundred-Tempered Soul Force, which should be enough to expand the space of the first floor of the Myriad Treasure Dao Palace and materialize one Spirit Field.”
Over the next two weeks, Wang Che began training Green Caterpillar and Magnetic Sword.
First was Nature’s Power.
This move was quite important.
After eating the Gene Capsule and learning the move through the Soul Skill Engraving scroll, Green Caterpillar got stuck.
“Hmm… I can’t sense the power of nature.”
Wang Che fell into deep thought after hearing Green Caterpillar’s response.
Green Caterpillar actually could not learn Nature’s Power, a Ten-Year Soul Skill.
This move heavily tested one’s comprehension.
Among the Soul Skills of Insect Element Soul Pets, some Soul Pets could use this move to change their fate and comprehend extremely powerful abilities—they could summon wind and rain, change the weather, overturn the earth, or stir the seas…
Some insects, after mastering Nature’s Power, might only learn to pile up some dirt, spit a little fire, or absorb a bit of pond water…
There were also some Soul Pets that comprehended nothing at all… making the move useless.
Many professors who studied Insect Element Soul Pets believed this was the strongest move among Insect Element Soul Skills.
But some professors thought it was the weakest move.
However, this move was absolutely fascinating among Insect Element Soul Pets.
Its upper limit was very high, but its lower limit was also very low.
Insects were different from other Soul Beasts.
Most insects were born relatively weak, grew quickly, and had much shorter lifespans compared to other Soul Beasts.
This move was one that could truly help some weak insects turn their fate around among Insect Element Soul Skills.
“This move depends entirely on comprehension and perception…”
Wang Che thought for a moment, “First, try using Nature’s Power and let me see.”
Green Caterpillar nodded and closed its eyes.
It had learned this move, but it was as if it hadn’t…
After a while, nothing really happened.
Only a refreshing Gentle Breeze drifted through the air…
“Where is Nature’s Power?” Wang Che asked.
“Sii sii!” Green Caterpillar said.
I already used it!
“…” Wang Che thought.
Wow, just a Gentle Breeze, right?
That’s it?
Wang Che thought to himself, what use was that?
What was the difference between this and having no perception at all?
Completely useless.
“Try again.”
Wang Che said, “Use it once more. While using it, use your imagination and feel the charm of nature—rainstorms, lightning, earthquakes, landslides, hurricanes, tsunamis, the growth of all things, etc… Just imagine any one of them.”
Green Caterpillar nodded.
It used the move again.
This time, there was no refreshing Gentle Breeze. Instead, a tiny flame the size of a fingernail appeared in the space in front of Green Caterpillar and then vanished.
Green Caterpillar opened its eyes.
“…” Wang Che.
Nature’s Power was a move where insects borrowed the power of nature to attack enemies.
It did not rely on their own strength.
However, for Green Caterpillar, perceiving nature was not easy.
Awakening Power meant comprehending one’s own power from the forces of nature.
Divine Power meant training this Awakening Power to the extreme, causing an ultimate transformation that could truly affect the natural world and accomplish earth-shattering changes.
“Inside you, there is Sky Life Energy, Fire Life Energy, and Plant Life Energy…”
“Your imagination might be enough, but perceiving nature tests your comprehension…”
Wang Che began to ponder.
In the Cultivation World, cultivation methods that focused on perceiving the natural world were mostly from the Taoist school.
“It seems it’s time to teach Little Caterpillar a new cultivation technique. After all, it has already reached Millennium Spirit Power Cultivation, and its current cultivation speed is slowing down.”
Wang Che thought deeply.
Beast Origin Art laid the foundation for Green Caterpillar. Gold-Devouring Art solved Green Caterpillar’s food absorption.
But Green Caterpillar had not yet practiced a true cultivation technique.
Cultivation meant practicing a main technique.
The main technique had to have a high upper limit, just like Divine Sword Thunder Control True Scripture.
It could be cultivated to the late stages and was also very powerful.
At the same time, it was necessary to practice multiple auxiliary techniques. These techniques had certain characteristics that could help cultivators better face the difficulties of the cultivation path and make them stronger.
Wang Che felt that Nature’s Power had great potential.
It reminded him of some cultivation paths.
“Among the many cultivation civilizations, different civilizations’ Taoist schools were divided into several major sects. Among them, the Shangqing sect of Taoism treated all life equally, whether human or beast, and emphasized perceiving the world, following the natural way, and achieving success through steady progress along the righteous path.”
“The most profound among them was the Shangqing Taoist Canon: Five Elements Primal Clarity World Derivation Record.”
Wang Che thought to himself.
The Taoist techniques of this sect emphasized traveling through the five elements of heaven and earth and perceiving the natural way.
