My construction materials are weird

The last of the Eight Greats, the Spirit Beast Sect.

A force that was temporarily cobbled together, a group of animal enthusiasts who once yearned for freedom.

I remember when Sun Bole established the Spirit Beast Sect, most people were unwilling, wanting to be carefree rogue cultivators, afraid that the establishment of the sect would affect their freedom.

Of course, that was once a beautiful and naive dream, and now they don't think so.

Even, if Sun Bole were to say let's disband, they would be the first to disagree.

If they disbanded, would they still have the resources and status they have now?

Moreover, if they disbanded, the headquarters peak bestowed by Xuan Huang would be taken back, and they would have no foothold in Qingyun Mountain.

No one wants to bear this cost.

Overall, the essence of the Spirit Beast Sect's cultivation methods leans towards Refining Spirit cultivators. The "Returning Ruins Nine Imprint Method" is their foundation, but the auxiliary method is the "Soul Division Method," derived from the "Beast Taming Method."

Both Refining Spirit and Refining Qi can better utilize beast taming methods.

Speaking of the three fundamental methods, Body Refinement is a method of absolute self-reliance. Even the refinement of natal treasures involves the fusion and refinement of mind, spirit, energy, and blood.

Body Refinement is not very suitable for too many auxiliaries, such as alchemy, spirit talismans, formations, beast taming, etc.

It's about converging all kinds of magic power into oneself, the body is everything, crushing everything, shattering everything.

By using the spirit beast seized, one can achieve the ability of 'I' as the main soul, with the divided souls developing in coordination.

Each spirit beast seized by a natal beast imprint is a clone. Even if the main soul dies, the divided soul can exist independently and become a new main soul.

After seizing a natal spirit beast, the field of the seized spirit beast is used to change one's own field. The field is the foundation of cultivation, and also the so-called talent.

The strength of a living being's talent is the degree of compatibility between its own field and the heavens and earth.

High compatibility means high talent, and low compatibility means low talent.

Before one can transcend the heavens and earth, compatibility with the heavens and earth is crucial, hence the saying 'favored by the heavens and earth'.

People often say that the heavens are chasing after you to feed you.

Natal beast imprints have this ability, changing one's own field by seizing a spirit beast.

Although human talent is very strong among all races, it depends on who you compare it to.

Humans are a large group, with numbers measured in the sands of the Ganges.

Compared to equally large groups with numbers measured in the sands of the Ganges, they are outstanding.

However, there are some living beings with very few numbers, some even unique in the world.

The rarer the group of living beings, the stronger their talent, like prodigies specially created by the heavens.

Such beings sacrifice the reproductive capacity and universality of humans. But with gains and losses, each one is comparable to the most outstanding human genius.

The spirit beasts seized are such beings, not just any random cats or dogs.

Seizing cats or dogs will not only fail to improve talent but also lower one's own talent, which is a loss.

Therefore, they are very cautious about each natal beast imprint, at least ensuring that seizing one will make their talent better and better, rather than worse or stagnant.

The limitations of the "Soul Division Method" are small. One can seize all nine clones within the first tier, or one at a time, depending entirely on personal preference.

Currently, in the entire Spirit Beast Sect, within the first-tier Profound Transformation, few have seized more than three clones.

Although there are no restrictions, seizing once is equivalent to splitting the divine soul once, which also requires a price and time to recover.

It is even possible that too much splitting of the divine soul will lead to loss of control, transformation into the Dao, and entry into the demonic path.

Take Sun Bole as an example. He is currently at the second-tier Profound Connection cultivation level, but his natal beast imprint has only seized two clones.

One comes from the mythical creature 'Dragon' of the ancient world, and the other comes from the mutated fierce beast 'Gluttonous' of the main world.

The reason why these two creatures are in quotation marks is that that's what they're called, but they are far from being true dragons or gluttons.

For example, the gluttonous of the second clone is a dog that has mutated. You can't call it a mutated dog, it's not good to hear, and it damages the image.

Therefore, it's called Gluttonous.

Of course, it's not just a random name. It must have the characteristics and abilities that conform to the gluttonous before it dares to be called that.

This mutated dog has a very rare ability: a space dog that devours everything. A different space has mutated in its belly. As long as it is swallowed, it will be digested, and there is a probability of giving birth to the talent of the swallowed creature.

The ability is very special and rare.

In fact, such a dog is also suitable to be called a celestial dog, but after its mutation, it became fundamentally unlike a dog, and it cannot even be described with metaphors. It is very similar to the gluttonous in fantasy.

So it was named Gluttonous.

The first clone, the dragon, is similar, from the ancient world.

Counting carefully, you will find that the Xia Country has a special liking for dragons. As long as a beast master has a bit of resources and a bit of status, 70% of the first spirit beast is related to dragons.

It once led to the near-artificial disappearance of the dragon species in the ancient world.

Later, it was protected by the Merit Hall and the Nine Li tribe of the ancient world, and with the addition of new worlds, dragons, sub-dragons, dragon-like creatures, etc., were slowly discovered.

This phenomenon was then stopped.

Some beast masters insisted on calling the snakes they seized dragons, and you didn't dare to refute them. If you refuted them, they would reason with you.

Later, carp, loach, and the like were said to be dragons.

Now it may not look like it, but these will all transform into dragons. The Xia Country really has such a legend, and you can't help but believe it.

Sun Bole's first natal clone dragon has already entered the second tier, just like his main body.

The second clone, Gluttonous, has not yet, but it has reached the limit of the first-tier Profound Transformation, and it will enter the second tier soon.

This is a rare ability that makes beast masters both envious and headache.

It's not easy to deal with, because you don't know how many clones he has with the same strength as himself, so it's difficult to handle.

This kind of multi-clone power is envied in the eyes of outsiders.

But for Sun Bole, it is a difficulty.

As mentioned earlier, the difficulty of the "Soul Division Method" natal beast imprint will increase when entering the fourth-tier True Self.

The cultivators of the Spirit Beast Sect had nothing in the beginning, and they were willing to risk everything to pull the emperor off his horse. Because they never had it, they didn't care.

But when they reached the second tier, and Sun Bole's level, they needed to consider it.

He once resolutely embarked on the path of the "Soul Division Method" because it was difficult to enter the second tier without doing so. At that time, considering entering the fourth tier was purely worrying about the future.

But things are different now. What was once a happy trouble has now become a real trouble.

Therefore, he does not intend to seize more spirit beasts in the second tier. The fewer, the better, and the smaller the difficulty of entering the fourth-tier True Self.

Of course, it's not absolute. If he encounters a rare spirit beast in the world, he will still seize it.

That would greatly enhance his own talent and ability, and the difficulty of entering the fourth tier would also be reduced.

Therefore, this is a contradiction.

The more one seizes bodies, the harder it will be to enter the fourth-order True Self, but seizing a body with extraordinary talent will reduce the difficulty. One needs to grasp this degree oneself.

In the past ten years, he has been honored as the master of a sect. Leaving aside other things, his powerful luck has cultivated a strong confidence.

He is confident in entering the fourth order. Even if his own ability is insufficient, his powerful luck will push him to enter.

If the dignified sect master of one of the eight major sects cannot enter the fourth order, it would be a bit unrealistic.

As the saying goes, times change.

What he is worried about now is nothing more than not falling too far behind the sect masters of other sects, and maintaining the same level of ability at all times.

Therefore, having fewer clones is currently the optimal solution.

The Spirit Beast Sect's business also extends throughout the entire cultivation world. Long ago, they cooperated with Ghost Shadow to develop petrification techniques and amulet bags.

Over the years, they have been upgraded several times.

Not to mention the business they already possessed, they do not lack resources and points.

What are they most concerned about right now?

Actually, it's a person, a person named Luo Feng.

Without error, one first, one launch, one inside, one appearance, one presence, one look!

That's right, it is Luo Feng, the owner of the number one cave of the three thousand loose cultivators.

Why are they concerned? It all started two years ago. Two years ago, when everyone was about to run out of patience, Luo Feng finally fulfilled what he said and announced his 《Reversal God Art》.

Originally, at the congratulatory ceremony for Chief Manager Sun's advancement five years ago, Luo Feng said that he would go to the Merit Hall to imprint his 《Reversal God Art》 after the auction.

No one knows what unexpected event occurred. Everyone watched Luo Feng enter the Merit Hall, but he did not leave 《Reversal God Art》 as everyone had expected.

No one knows exactly what happened.

The Merit Hall came forward and said: This technique is still very immature and has not reached the standard to be recorded. Luo Feng needs to continue to improve it before it can be recorded.

With just this sentence, Luo Feng waited another three years before 'meeting the requirements of the Merit Hall', being recorded by the Merit Hall and sold to the public.

What happened inside is only known to Luo Feng alone.

But since the Merit Hall said so, who would dare to have an opinion? You can't blame Luo Feng for breaking his promise. If you are dissatisfied, go to the Merit Hall. What does it have to do with me, Luo Feng?

I said that my technique is very dangerous, but you didn't believe me. Do you believe me now? The Merit Hall said that my technique is currently imperfect.

Wait and wait, and finally another three years passed.

There is a saying that what you can't get is always restless. Just because it was rejected by the Merit Hall, it aroused everyone's curiosity even more.

People are very cheap.

Until three years later, Luo Feng went to the Merit Hall again to record it, and this time it finally passed.

His 《Reversal God Art》, like Wu Tong's 《Gu Poison Art》, was revered as one of the two evil classics.

It's too evil. Just looking at it makes your head hurt. Is this a cultivation method?

Isn't this a death-seeking technique?

Good fellow, every step is courting death. In layman's terms, it is taking the path of a spirit master, with a fifty-fifty chance of fusing with the uncanny.

If you succeed, you succeed. If you fail, your divine soul will be devoured by the uncanny. There is no third way to go.

Once you succeed, the benefits are too great.

The main benefit is having a portable will amplifier, an uncanny creature that constantly provides you with energy to hone your will.

Let your will grow even while sleeping.

Seeing this, everyone finally understands why Luo Feng's will is so powerful. Using the uncanny as a battery to hone it, how can it not be strong?

And once this uncanny battery can no longer hone your will, it means that your will is strong enough to devour this uncanny, and then this uncanny is completely enslaved.

When a person completely enslaves an uncanny creature, it is equivalent to possessing all the abilities of this uncanny creature, including the uncanny creature's abilities.

The core rule fragments of the uncanny will be integrated into one's own roots after being completely enslaved, becoming a kind of innate divine power.

A terrifying ability. In other words, it is to completely devour an uncanny creature and fulfill oneself.

Including the rule fragments.

This technique has been announced, and the Spirit Beast Sect has exploded, and another super force has also exploded, which is the Evil Suppression Department.

Isn't this a new track for spirit masters?

We spirit masters are the bravest. We have always fused with the uncanny in this way, with a fifty-fifty chance. If we live, we become spirit masters, and if we die, we die.

However, let's not talk about the Evil Suppression Department for now.

Let's talk about the shock to the Spirit Beast Sect.

Why is it more difficult to enter the fourth order with more clones?

Essentially, it is still the reason for will.

In Xuan Huang's words, there is no difficulty in any technique. As long as your will is strong enough, everything will be solved easily.

Just like Sun Bole's worry about the difficulty of entering the fourth-order True Self, this is under the premise that his will is not outstanding.

What if he has the true will of the third order when he enters the fourth-order True Self?

The third-order true will is too outrageous. Let's say he has the second-order true will when he enters the fourth-order True Self?

In the face of a powerful will, any hidden dangers brought about by multiple clones will be solved easily under the unified rule of the strong will.

Will is king is not a joke.

Controlling the will is equivalent to controlling everything about oneself. Those shortcomings, such as unstable divine soul and impurities in the soul, are also under the control of the will.

Although there are several clones, which makes it difficult to condense the divine soul, a strong will can forcibly condense them.

With the emergence of such a 《Reversal God Art》, how can the Spirit Beast Sect not be shaken?

Moreover, controlling the uncanny and controlling beasts are essentially the same.

If you can control beasts, you can control the uncanny. If you can control the uncanny, you can control beasts. Wasn't Luo Feng's 《Reversal God Art》 created based on the 《Soul Separation Technique》?

The Spirit Beast Sect is the force most involved with Luo Feng's 《Reversal God Art》.

If you could enslave an uncanny creature like Luo Feng… just thinking about it is wonderful.

It should be noted that although 《Reversal God Art》 and 《Soul Separation Technique》 have the same origin, there are differences.

One is called seizing, and the other is called enslavement. This is the biggest difference.

Enslaving an uncanny creature does not occupy the nine natal beast imprint quotas of the 《Soul Separation Technique》.

《Soul Separation Technique》 is about dividing the divine soul, while 《Reversal God Art》 is about gathering the divine soul.

The more clones one seizes, the more times the divine soul splits. The more uncanny creatures enslaved by the 《Reversal God Art》, the better it is for the will. The stronger the will, the more condensed the divine soul.

It's like one is yin and the other is yang.

Yin and yang combining is always strong.

The Spirit Beast Sect must learn 《Reversal God Art》 no matter what, even if it is one of the two evil classics.

The 《Gu Poison Art》 of the two evil classics was created by Wu Tong. From the beginning, it requires using one's own flesh and blood to feed the gu poison. It is also very evil. If one is not careful, one will die and be sucked dry by the gu poison.

《Reversal God Art》 is the same. If one is not careful, one will be devoured by the uncanny in reverse.

Both are very strong, but also very dangerous.

Once released, not many people dare to really learn it.

After all, betting your life from the start is not necessary, really not necessary.

There is a safe path to the Great Dao, there is no need to take such a risk. No matter how you calculate it, it's a loss.
