Douluo: The True Eye

After Huo Yuhao fused with the soul ring from the Evil Eye Tyrant of one hundred thousand years, Du Busi once again left the Body Sect.

However, before leaving, he left a message: "Yuhao, just focus on cultivating diligently. You can request all necessary resources from Grand Elder Jin Peng. Once I have resolved matters outside, I will prepare the soul rings you need later."

Naturally, Huo Yuhao knew that hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were not easy to find and hunt. From Du Busi's words, it was clear that he did not intend to take Huo Yuhao out on adventures.

However, Huo Yuhao had other plans in mind, but he would have to wait until Du Busi had dealt with external affairs and returned to the Body Sect before he could carry them out one by one.

In the sky, hung a bizarre sun, its entire body black, emitting a strange and dim purple light around it.

The surrounding terrain was uneven, yet devoid of life. The earth was as black as ink, and a cold aura permeated this world.

However, for Huo Yuhao, whose physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, it was not an unadaptable place.

"Elder Yi," Huo Yuhao said respectfully, bowing to the semi-transparent old man in front of him.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was no longer in the Body Sect but in the territory of Ilex's undead demiplane.

Ilex had previously said that once Huo Yuhao's cultivation reached level fifty, his observation period of Huo Yuhao would be over.

In any case, he would impart to Huo Yuhao the magic system and related knowledge that he could recall from his memory without reservation.

This could be considered repayment for borrowing Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea to repair his divine sense.

Although that was the case, one thing was separate from another. Huo Yuhao still sincerely sought advice from Ilex as a student.

After all, those who have attained come first, and elders are teachers. Even if Ilex had decided to impart magic to Huo Yuhao after much consideration for some reason, a master-disciple relationship could naturally be considered established.

"I have sorted it out and can now impart the magic in my memory to you, Yuhao."

"However, this world is quite different from my previous world. How much of the magic's effectiveness can be发挥(fā huī - bring into play) depends entirely on you, Yuhao."

Ilex's eyes turned to Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao also looked directly at him, his eyes unwavering.

"For me, exploring the unknown and mastering new things allows me to reap unparalleled satisfaction."

"Whether it's soul skills, martial souls, or magic, for me, they are all ways for me to understand this world."

"Because of war, disease, and disaster, living beings are withering every moment in this world. If their withering can allow me to get one step closer to the unknown, then I will not hesitate."

"But I will not enjoy it for this reason. For me, the means are not important, and I will not enjoy the so-called process before achieving the ultimate goal, thereby losing myself. Elder Yi, this is my pursuit."

Listening to Huo Yuhao's words, Ilex sighed. His observation during these days had indeed made him understand that Huo Yuhao was telling the truth.

Huo Yuhao would not care too much about people or things that were unrelated to him or were not beneficial to him, and could even be described as somewhat withdrawn.

But once it touched his interests or could allow him to gain something from it, then Huo Yuhao's enthusiasm and execution were completely different from his usual self.

"Forget it, forget it. Although not good, your thoughts cannot be considered evil either. Next, I will explain to you from the most basic knowledge what magic is."

Then, Ilex's expression turned solemn: "If there is anything you don't understand or find difficult to comprehend, ask questions. Don't establish incorrect cognitions from the very beginning of the theory."

Huo Yuhao also nodded, listening carefully to Ilex's explanation.

With the knowledge and understanding of a god-level mage who was infinitely close to the level of a deity, Ilex explained the basic theory of magic to Huo Yuhao in detail.

Including but not limited to Ilex's most proficient necromancy and light attribute magic.

Although Ilex only specialized in these two types of magic, there were countless connections between other magic and these two types of magic.

What effect would the combination of different attribute magic with necromancy and light attribute magic have?

What conflicts would different attribute magic have with necromancy and light attribute magic?

And so on, and so forth. Although basic, it was the most important part of the world of magic that Ilex knew.

It was the harvest accumulated by countless spellcasters through tens of thousands of years of experience. These experiences were certainly not absolutely correct, but they were the closest to the absolutely correct answer that had been verified by countless predecessors.

Magic is a symbol of the rules of the world, and the spellcaster's incantations are the language of communication with the world.

For example, high-speed friction of flint will produce sparks. From a scientific point of view, the movement between molecules accelerates, and the temperature will rise, thus manifesting in the form of sparks.

In the world of magic, it is also the same. Spiritual power combined with the right incantation can make nature respond, stimulate the elements in the world, and manifest in the corresponding form.

Theoretically, all magic is not invented by spellcasters, but countless spellcasters have discovered the correct way to cast it through trial and error. They are originally the laws of the world.

The root of magic is based on the spellcaster's own will. Only when the spellcaster's will has a correct understanding of the concept of magic can they correctly cast the corresponding magic.

And the more correct the understanding, the closer it is to the essence of the world, the less redundant, and the more appropriate the spellcaster, the more powerful the magic they cast will naturally be, and the farther the road they can advance will be.

The spellcaster's spiritual power is the medium for their will to communicate with the world.

The spellcaster's spiritual power and soul power are used to assist communication or establish corresponding communication channels. The consumption of energy is the manifestation of maintaining communication.

Most of the elemental spirits are unintelligent beings. They correctly execute every law in the world. As long as they master the corresponding methods, they can control their operation.

As for some so-called spirits born from nature, such as the Snow Empress, the master of the extreme north, who can summon the power of ice and snow, they have separated from the huge machine of the world at the time of their birth.

Although they possess the innate ability to manipulate the gears of corresponding elements to control the world's operation, they are by no means beings capable of symbolizing the world's rules, like elementals.

Huo Yuhao already understood what Illyas meant, just like the difference between gods in the God's Seal World and the Douluo World.

The gods in the God's Seal World are the embodiment of the Dao itself. They need no symbols, are ever-changing, and have no fixed form or consciousness, acting in accordance with the world's rules.

And moving towards their existence, at the moment of becoming a god, the insignificant existence of 'man' would be divided by the entire world, naturally unable to retain self-awareness, only becoming a part of the world.

The gods in the Douluo World, on the other hand, are the controllers of laws, a level below the Dao. They possess their own emotions and will, and therefore, there are differences in the strength of their power, divided into various ranks.

Is the so-called Law of Destruction truly stronger than basic laws like earth, water, fire, and wind?

For a world, whether it's destruction or creation, earth, water, fire, and wind are all treated equally. They are all indispensable components of the world's massive machine.

And with the understanding of this concept, Huo Yuhao could also imagine what a 'god' is. Those high and mighty 'gods' didn't seem so amazing after all.

And so, in the Body Sect, Huo Yuhao constantly deconstructed the 'dots' in the Eye of Truth until his soul power was exhausted, then he would enter the Undead Demiplane to continue attending Illyas's classes.

As time passed, Illyas had finished teaching the basic courses, and then he did indeed, as he had said before.

He gradually imparted his most prized light-attribute magic and undead magic, from shallow to deep, to Huo Yuhao.

Light-attribute magic aside, undead magic should actually be called soul magic.

The essence of its research lies in the existence of the soul, especially the souls of humans after death, which is its main focus.

It's just that the research of undead magic requires a large number of souls, and usually, once a soul is damaged, the body of that soul will either fall into a coma or die.

The research in the field of the soul is far more difficult than ordinary elemental magic. Therefore, in some crazy groups of mages, in order to study the true meaning of the soul.

They often create a large number of deaths in order to obtain souls. Killing is just a means, research is the goal, and this is what Illyas is worried about.

And the so-called life and death are just byproducts of researching the soul, not the most appropriate interpretation of undead magic.

But as he gradually taught, Illyas was horrified to discover that Huo Yuhao's 'talent' was even more perverted than he had imagined.

Normal people do not have the ability to directly contact the soul, because without resentment as a carrier, the soul is ethereal. Even to see the soul, ordinary people need to use various magic or release mental power to perceive it.

But for Huo Yuhao, not to mention ordinary spiritual bodies, even the deeper 'structure' of these souls could be easily seen through.

With a little research, Huo Yuhao could master undead magic that ordinary undead mages could only master after studying thousands of souls.

With a little thought, Huo Yuhao could learn the secrets of the soul that ordinary undead mages could only completely master in their entire lives.

Even the spells that ordinary casters must have are not necessary for Huo Yuhao.

Simply by using mental power for meticulous control, Huo Yuhao could use mental power to replace the influence of spells, stimulating the essence of elements and even souls, causing them to change according to the expected effects of magic.

Even with only five rings of strength, the undead magic that Huo Yuhao can use has even reached the level of seventh-level magic, which is equivalent to the ability of a Soul Sage in the Douluo World.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao can use more than one type of seventh-level magic. For him, continuous casting of seventh-level magic would only produce a little pressure.

Because undead magic emphasizes mental power first, and the demand for energy is not as great as other spells such as elemental magic. Therefore, relying on Huo Yuhao's mental power, he can achieve the level of instant spellcasting beyond his level.

That's right, for Huo Yuhao, the release of all magic, except for its necessary operation process, is instantly constructed.

Because for Huo Yuhao, who possesses the Eye of Truth, magic, runes, and even soul skills are all so easy to understand and use.

Illyas sighed helplessly, looked at Huo Yuhao, whose eyes were still full of enthusiasm, and said, "Yuhao, according to your current cultivation, this seventh-level magic is already the limit you can master."

"Although the saying 'biting off more than you can chew' is hard for me to say to you."

"But now, you should consolidate your previous learning. After your strength breaks through the seventieth level of soul power in this world, I will teach you the remaining magic."

"Yes, teacher." Huo Yuhao did not continue to insist. He also understood that Illyas was indeed thinking of him. At the same time, although he only mastered a part of the seventh-level magic now.

But for him, who possesses the Eye of Truth and has accumulated a large number of soul skills, runes, and magic models, it is indeed completely enough.

A year and a half had passed since Huo Yuhao previously fused with his fifth soul ring. During this period, he spent most of his time following Illyas to learn the use of magic, without focusing his time on cultivating soul power.

Even so, with the help of Tianmeng Iceworm, Huo Yuhao's soul power steadily broke through the sixtieth level, and his cultivation speed far exceeded that of ordinary innate full soul power soul masters.

Huo Yuhao also established a teacher-student relationship with Illyas during this period. Now that the cultivation of magic has come to an end, the hunting of soul rings should also be put back on the agenda.

Tianmeng Iceworm and the Five-Tailed White Fox were swimming around Huo Yuhao, curiously looking at the novel Undead Demiplane beside Huo Yuhao.

After mastering undead magic, Huo Yuhao was able to construct energy-formed shells for these spiritual bodies residing in his sea of ​​spirit, allowing them to go out freely.

At the same time, in the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire, a major event also occurred.
