Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Binding Spell
Subsequently, Liu Xuanling began to explain the introductory cultivation thods of the “Ten Thousand Beasts Origin Scripture” to them.
Her explanation was very detailed, and any disciple who did not understand could ask her questions to avoid any issues when switching to this cultivation technique.
This technique was the most fundantal cultivation thod of the Beast Taming Sect; all other spells were derived from this foundational technique.
Therefore, the “Ten Thousand Beasts Origin Scripture” had beco the basic cultivation technique that all disciples needed to practice. Once they had reached a certain level and possessed their own Spiritual Beasts, they could choose to continue this path or select a technique that best suited their Lifebound Spiritual Beast.
This lecture took up most of the day.
Liu Xuanling discussed the details of all the levels from Qi Refinent Stage One to the perfection of Qi Refinent Stage Nine.
After all, among these new disciples, there were those at every cultivation realm within the Qi Refining Stage.
Qin Feng, like the other disciples, listened with rapt fascination.
He had never thought that the process of Qi Refining could be explained so perfectly. Excitent fluttered in his heart, and many questions he had about cultivation were clarified through Liu Xuanling’s explanations.
So, this was another way to cultivate in the Qi Refining Stage.
And the sophistication of the “Ten Thousand Beasts Origin Scripture” far surpassed his imagination.
In his original understanding, he thought that to ta Spiritual Beasts, Beast Taming Sect disciples simply needed to subdue them and control them with secret techniques.
It was only after Liu Xuanling’s explanations that he realized the traditions of the Beast Taming Sect were completely different from what he had imagined, and that there were no fewer than a dozen thods for manipulating Spiritual Beasts in the cultivation world.
However, what Beast Taming Sect disciples favored the most was still their own inherited techniques.
As for the others, they were relatively ordinary thods and were not uncommon in other sects of the cultivation world.
The fundantal thod for Beast Taming Sect disciples to control Spiritual Beasts was to refine a part of their Divine Sense into the Binding Spell of the sect’s secret transmission. Then, they would implant the Binding Spell into the sea of consciousness of the Spiritual Beast, entwining it around the Divine Soul of the beast. Once this step was completed, they effectively controlled the life and death of the Spiritual Beast, leaving no possibility for it to betray.
The Binding Spell was divided into nine levels; the first level was all that Liu Xuanling had imparted for now. To learn beyond the third level, one would need to be accepted into the Inner Sect.
It was precisely because of this secret Binding Spell technique that every Beast Taming Sect disciple might possess more than one Spiritual Beast. The specific number and grade of Spiritual Beasts they could subdue depended on their personal Divine Sense strength.
The higher the grade of a Spiritual Beast, the stronger the Divine Sense required. Therefore, the lower the grade of the Spiritual Beasts, the more one could subdue.
Of course, if a Spiritual Beast was killed, their Divine Sense would also suffer damage.
As for the Lifebound Spiritual Beast, it was much more complex than controlling ordinary Spiritual Beasts.
For ordinary Spiritual Beasts, one simply needed to implant the Binding Spell to subdue them. However, a Lifebound Spiritual Beast required gradual refinent.
The first step in refining was to erase the spiritual intelligence of the Demon Beast selected as a Lifebound Spiritual Beast.
Upon hearing this, a disciple frowned and asked, “Peak Master, how is this Lifebound Spiritual Beast different from a puppet?”
“Indeed, without spiritual intelligence, it cannot autonomously fight. To have the Lifebound Spiritual Beast engage in battle, wouldn’t that require the consumption of more Divine Sense?”
Liu Xuanling’s eyebrows rose as she glanced at those few disciples and let out a cold hum: “What do you know?”
With that statent, she quelled all the noise and continued, “Initially, our ancestors in the Sect did not do it this way. However, after continual incidents of Lifebound Spiritual Beasts turning on their owners and causing the loss of many fellow disciples’ lives, the Sect established this rule.
Of course, you can choose not to follow it, just hope that your Lifebound Spiritual Beast cooperates honestly during critical monts of your cultivation or ascension in realm, and does not show any signs of backlash.
Otherwise, hmph…”
She did not finish, but everyone understood. If a backlash occurred during advancent, one might at the least suffer ntal derangent, or at worst, die on the spot.
“We, the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, not only need our Lifebound Spiritual Beasts to aid our cultivation, but when we reach a certain realm, we also need to rge with them to boost our combat power. Furthermore, when comprehending Divine Skills with the help of Lifebound Spiritual Beasts, it is even more essential to have a perfect fit.
All that aside, if any of you have profound fortune and cultivate to the Dharma Image realm, you can rge your Lifebound Spiritual Beast with your Dharma Image to greatly increase the power of your Dharma Image. This is why Beast Taming Sect cultivators can surpass other sects in individual combat power at higher realms of cultivation.
By then, do you still want your Dharma Image to possess a separate consciousness? Aren’t you afraid that after sustaining severe injuries, another consciousness will usurp your place, extinguish your Divine Soul, and take over your nest?”
At these words, everyone’s expression changed and the few disciples who had been reluctant to accept fell silent.
“Rember, a Demon Beast is a Demon Beast, even if you transform it into your Spiritual Beast, the wildness remains in their hearts. Never, because of your personal desires, place the Demon Beast above our Human Clan.”
Liu Xuanling squinted her eyes and said indifferently, “In our Beast Taming Sect, if you dare to regard a Demon Beast as more important than a human, be careful, as it may bring about a disaster that you cannot afford.”
After admonishing the disciples, she continued the previous discussion and proceeded to explain the Cultivation Techniques to everyone.
However, she only discussed the Qi Refining Cultivation thods. As for the future Cultivation Techniques, Liu Xuanling did not pass them on; if their realms had not been reached, passing on the information would be useless. She simply told them that in the early stages of cultivation, they could treat their Lifebound Spiritual Beasts as wholly controlled avatars, and the higher the compatibility, the better for their future progression.
But even just the Qi Refining Technique made Qin Feng feel it was exponentially better than the Cultivation thod he had originally practiced.
No wonder his father did not care which Qi Refining Cultivation thod he chose; it was only now that he truly understood the gap between them.
The “Ten Thousand Beasts Origin Scripture” involved not only conventional Qi refining but, most importantly, techniques for cultivating the Divine Sense.
Cultivating this scripture not only made one’s Divine Sense far exceed that of ordinary cultivators of the sa level, but one could also split off Divine Thoughts to control Spiritual Beasts in combat from afar.
That was also why Qin Long, who was rely a Foundation Establishnt Early Stage cultivator back then, was able to pursue the Swallowing Sky Toad with the Green-Eyed Spirit Snake for over ten miles.
A normal Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, let alone at the early stage, even at the peak, might not be able to extend their Divine Sense that far.
Of course, in terms of head-on combat ability, if Beast Taming Sect disciples didn’t have the help of a Spiritual Beast, relying solely on the “Ten Thousand Beasts Origin Scripture” might make them less likely to match up against other cultivators.
After all, each Cultivation thod pursues a different direction, and once one’s cultivation is achieved, they will only dominate their respective domains.
“Alright, disperse now.”
Liu Xuanling stood up, waved her hand in boredom, and said, “Go back and cultivate on your own. Don’t rush the conversion of Spiritual Power. If there are any mistakes, you can always co to the Preaching Pavilion to inquire.
There are Foundation Establishnt Cultivators here every day. Such minor issues, they can easily resolve for you.”
“Yes, disciples respectfully see off the Peak Master.”
A group of young disciples bowed respectfully and saw Liu Xuanling off.
Only after her figure disappeared did the disciples begin to discuss among themselves excitedly.
Especially disciples like Qin Feng, who ca from clan backgrounds, had been soaked in such influences since childhood and had seen their elders taming Spiritual Beasts with flair, they were already extrely eager for the Beast Taming Techniques.
Now they had finally joined the Beast Taming Sect and received the Beast Taming heritage, they could not help but feel ecstatic.
Liu Wuxiang, who was at Qin Feng’s side, was also exceptionally excited. The lean youth chattered excitedly with Qin Feng for a while before they both left together, preparing to head to the dining hall for a al.
At this stage, they did not have the ability to fast. Going without food for a day or two was fine, but any longer would be unbearable.
Since there were no commoners within the Beast Taming Sect, the dining hall on Spiritual Snake Peak was also run by Outer Disciples of the peak, as a kind of nial task.
Working in the dining hall was pretty good in terms of benefits. Not only did the Sect provide Spirit Stones and Elixir Pills, but they could also prepare so Spiritual als for themselves as a treat.
After Qin Feng and Liu Wuxiang had eaten, they returned to their respective dwellings to start their cultivation.
Sitting cross-legged on a cushion, Qin Feng closed his eyes and ticulously recollected the Technique Liu Xuanling had explained today several tis to make sure he hadn’t missed anything before he began to cultivate.
First, he needed to transform the Spiritual Power within his body into the True Yuan of the “Ten Thousand Beasts Origin Scripture,” which was not too difficult. Since the Cultivation thod he had practiced before was relatively primitive and his own Spiritual Power was extrely pure, he easily converted his Spiritual Power, acquiring True Yuan with the characteristics of the “Ten Thousand Beasts Origin Scripture.”
Then, Qin Feng started cultivating according to the thods outlined in the scripture for nurturing the Divine Soul.
This was of utmost importance, as only with a strong Divine Sense could Beast Taming Sect disciples manipulate more Spiritual Beasts.
But soon, Qin Feng recalled sothing.
He owned a Demon Refining Pot! The Demon Refining Pot itself was capable of refining and subduing countless Demon Beasts—so even if his Divine Sense was not strong, he could have more Spiritual Beasts than other disciples.
Did he still need to invest so much Spiritual Power into nurturing his Divine Soul?
