nChapter 354: Priceless Treasure! The Mysterious Heavenly Peak Mountain!

nHe Huan looked fixedly at the stack of white paper in her hand.

nIt was called the Soul Guiding Skill, but there was no name.

n

n

nThere was only the category name.

nFor example, the first page said: Suitable for bug type soul pets to cultivate.

nThe next scene was a strange cultivation technique mainly used by green caterpillars. There were a total of several cultivation forms, each with a corresponding incantation.

nThere were also cultivation variants. Other than the green caterpillar, there were also a few examples.

n

n

n“This is a Soul Guiding Skill?”

nHe Huan focused and looked, “It’s suitable for bug type soul pets…”

nIt was very arrogant.

nThere were many bug type soul pets! Moreover, when each soul pet’s body combined, their form and size were worlds apart.

n

n

n…

nDifferent bug type soul pets needed to develop corresponding Soul Guiding Skills that were often extremely valuable.

nOccasionally, there would be soul pets with similar forms. Their Soul Guiding Skills were indeed similar.

nHowever, even if they were similar, there were still differences.

nIf one Soul Guiding Skill could be used on more than two soul pets, the value would be very high.

nHowever, the actual development difficulty was extremely high.

n

n

nFrom the Soul Guiding Skill until now, there were pitifully few Soul Guiding Skills that were suitable for more than two soul pets.

nThere was no Soul Guiding Skill suitable for more than three soul pets.

n“Where did this guy get these things from…”

nHe Huan flipped a few pages and began to frown, “Not only does the Soul Guiding Skill need an action posture… but what incantation is that? How can there be any incantation in a proper Soul Guiding Skill… at most, there are some special vocalizations. Moreover, soul pets speak differently.”

nThe Soul Guiding Skill was a secret technique to guide soul power.

nIt was a way to help soul pets or Contract Soul Masters cultivate soul power.

nMost of the Soul Guiding Skills were stored in the gene capsule like soul skill secret carvings.

nAfter consuming the gene capsule, the Soul Guiding Skill would appear in the soul consciousness and be explained.

n

n

nWithout the gene capsule, it was impossible to just have the supplementary explanation.

nTherefore, even if others learned the Soul Guiding Skill, he could not spread it.

nWithout using the gene capsule, there was no record of this Soul Guiding Skill in the soul.

nThis was similar to the soul skill secret carving.

nUnless one was a peerless genius who had comprehended the Soul Guiding Skill himself.

nJust like how soul pets comprehended soul skills, except that this was much harder and more dangerous than soul skills.

nSoul pets needed to undergo countless training to comprehend soul skills.

nOn the other hand, if one was not careful and controlled the soul power of the outside world to flow through their body, they would cause devastating damage to their body.

n“The Soul Guiding Skill usually has very few supplementary movements… Most of them are methods to circulate soul power. It’s related to intelligence and spirit. How can it be effective with just a few movements and chants?”

nHe Huan was puzzled, “How can there be any soul beasts from the Remote Antiquity Era now? At most, there are some ancient soul beasts that survived from the Fallen Ancient Era…”

nThe calamity of the Fallen Ancient Era had caused the civilization of the Remote Antiquity Era to be lost.

nModern scholars could only gain a little understanding of the Remote Antiquity Era through some broken ancient artifacts in various corners of the world or barely preserved documents.

nThis little understanding was like a drop of water compared to the entire sea.

n

n

nFor example, the Ancient Fiend and Divine Light Whale, who were even older than the Sky God Dragon, were only powerful soul beasts at the end of the Remote Antiquity Era.

nHumans today did not know much about them.

nNot to mention those before them.

n“Did soul beasts of the Remote Antiquity Era cultivate like this?”

nAfter He Huan flipped through the first few pages, her heart jumped.

nHer intuition told her that it was not fake.

nIt was mainly because Wang Che’s little caterpillar was not ordinary.

nIt was extraordinary from the beginning.

n“Not to mention now, the initial Enlightenment Cup… Putting aside the soul skill he created, the Martial Soul Armament defeated Lin Xi. Its green caterpillar is also much stronger than a normal green caterpillar… Could it be because of this?”

nHe Huan immediately went to a research lab and found a few researchers, “Are there any green caterpillars in the base that have completed their enlightenment?”

n“Yes, quite a few.” One of the research directors was slightly stunned, not knowing why Professor He suddenly asked this.

n“Find five of them.”

n“…”

nThe research director was stunned. He did not know why a dignified professor was so interested in the green caterpillar.

nTheir base had many soul pets.

nEvery day, they would produce many soul pet eggs.

nThen, they would hatch soul pets and conduct various research, such as the incubation time, the parents’ situation, the genes, and so on.

nHe had to study the various situations of soul pets.

nAs for producing excess soul pet eggs, they would be distributed to the soul pet management centers in the major cities.

nMany research institutes in the various continents were the same.

nAfter all, soul pets usually hatched many eggs. As for research, it didn’t need many.

nThe soul pet management would distribute these soul pet eggs to high school students who needed the first batch of soul pets for free.

nOf course, these were only one of the sources of free soul pet eggs.

nNormally, free soul pet eggs would come from wild soul pet hatching or abandoned eggs.

nAs long as these eggs were healthy, they would become free soul pet eggs. As for what hatched, it would depend on one’s luck.

nAs a professor, she was the chief of the base.

nThe research projects were often very advanced.

nGreen caterpillar…

nEh… this kind of soul pet research project was usually only studied by intern researchers who had just entered the base.

nAlthough he was puzzled, the research director immediately got someone to carry five green caterpillars over.

n“This is a batch that hatched half a month ago. It has already completed the initial enlightenment. Its intelligence is about three years old.”

nThe research director pointed at the largest one and said, “The cultivation of the oldest one is about five years. It’s currently the highest and has slightly higher intelligence.”

nNormally, after completing the research mission, these green caterpillars would be placed in the surrounding forest to let them get used to life in the artificial forest.

nThey would slowly record the data.

nAfter reaching a certain cultivation level and adapting to the forest environment, they would be released to the wilderness to train.

nIf they lived in a gentle environment protected by humans for a long time, to these soul pets, it would be a slow death.

nTherefore, they had to be placed back in the wilderness unless there was a Contract Soul Master.

n“About three years old.”

nHe Huan nodded.

nImmediately after, she began to slowly teach the bug type soul pet cultivation methods on the five green caterpillars.

nThe pictures on it were all using the green caterpillar as an example, so she naturally had to try the green caterpillar first.

nAs a professor, her teaching level was extremely high.

nIn a few minutes, the five green caterpillars hissed and began to cultivate.

n“Modify the soul power concentration of the research lab to a normal level in the outside world.” He Huan said.

nThe research director immediately did as he was told.

nThey waited.

nAfter a while, the research director understood.

nIt was the Soul Guiding Skill that was a little special.

nThe five green caterpillars were twisted and made strange sounds.

nBut soon, he was shocked.

nNot only him, but He Huan’s eyes also began to show shock.

nIn less than an hour, a white light began to glow on the five green caterpillars.

nThis meant that its soul power cultivation had increased.

n“An hour? Their cultivation increased?” The research director rubbed his eyes, “What Soul Guiding Skill is this? Moreover, they just ate the food and have completely digested it… Why is their soul power circulating so quickly?”

nHe Huan was silent.

nThere was basically no Soul Guiding Skill that the green caterpillar cultivated.

nTheir research base actually had one. It was developed by them and the effect was not bad.

nIt was not sold to the public because there was no profit in it.

nThis was because there were too few soul masters who used the green caterpillar. Moreover, after the green caterpillar evolved into a Green Nether Butterfly, the Soul Guiding Skill had to change.

nIt could evolve in ten years.

nIf not for research, there was no need to develop the green caterpillar’s Soul Guiding Skill in such a short evolution process.

nEven the Soul Guiding Skill they developed could not increase the green caterpillar’s soul power cultivation by a year in an hour.

nOf course, they could tell that this was related to the food they had eaten.

nThis Soul Guiding Skill was closely related to food and had an extremely high absorption rate.

nMoreover, even if it had never eaten food, its speed was still very astonishing.

n“Find five of these bugs each.”

nHe Huan clenched the stack of white paper in her hand.

nThese were soul pets of different sizes, attributes, and grades.

nThe research director immediately reacted and summoned it to try…

nHalf a day later…

nAs the white light constantly lit up in the research room, He Huan stared fixedly at the stack of white paper in her hand. Two words kept popping up in her mind:

n“Priceless treasure!”

n——

nWhen he arrived at the Transversal Peak Mountain Range again, Wang Che felt that although the temperature had decreased greatly, it was still very high.

n“The Earth Fire will erupt from time to time.”

nThe Oracle Heavenly King said, “However, it’s not as exaggerated as before. It can basically be resolved in the West Peak Continent.”

nThe Ink Feather Green Spirit flew to a small mountain near Heavenly Peak Mountain.

nBelow was a forest made of bare towering trees.

nThe Heavenly Peak Mountain was right in front of him. He could not see the end as he looked up.

n“It should be in this area. Earth Fire has already appeared twice in this area. Fortunately, most of it has been extinguished. The first time was when the soul beasts here spontaneously extinguished it. Later on, after these soul beasts migrated, the army here was mobilized to extinguish it again.”

n“However, the Earth Fire is ferocious. The lava left behind corroded the ground. Many ancient trees, strange flowers, and plants were burned to ashes.”

n“There are also cracks formed by the Earth Fire everywhere on the mountain.”

nThe distant Heavenly Peak Mountain was like a statue that had been slashed by countless carving knives.

nThe lava that had already condensed was like frozen black blood that spread out in all directions.

nVaguely, a crack appeared on the entire Heavenly Peak Mountain.

nIt was as if it would break apart.

n“If the Ancient Fiend you mentioned will awaken, according to the research of many experts in the war zone, it will basically rush out of the Heavenly Peak Mountain.”

n“At that time, the Heavenly Peak Mountain will directly collapse… The landslide and earthquake caused will affect the entire Transversal Peak Mountain Range. The mountain range will form a chain reaction, even without considering the strength of this huge beast. Just this chain reaction will cause quite a bit of shock in the West Peak Continent and the Cloud Border Continent.”

n“The disaster is much more troublesome than the previous tsunami.”

n“Fortunately, I know the situation of this Ancient Fiend. Even if I can’t stop it, I have a way to deal with it in advance.”

n“The only danger in this area should be soul beasts. There are basically no other Ghost Disciples or soul masters in other war zones.”

nThe danger was eliminated.

nIt seemed that it was prepared.

nWang Che nodded slightly and glanced at it.

n“I’m leaving.”

nOn the way here, she had actually almost explained everything.

nThe Oracle Heavenly King nodded and watched Wang Che walk down the mountain.

nThis area was very large. It would definitely not be found in a day or two.

nIf he could not find it, Wang Che would choose to meet the Ancient Fiend.

nExploring alone was extremely dangerous, especially in such a place.

nDue to the Earth Fire, the soul beasts in this area were a little violent.

nAlthough it was not comparable to the Soul Earth, it still had a certain level of offensive power.

nNot long after Wang Che left, a few lights landed from the air and two figures gathered beside the Oracle Heavenly King.

nTwo old men.

n“This kid set off?” Heavenly King Zhan asked.

n“He’s setting off.” The Oracle Heavenly King nodded, “We can only see if he can find it. Otherwise, the Heavenly Peak Mountain…”

n“The last time the Oracle Phantom Spirit appeared was in the Earth Fire Competition…” Heavenly King Zhan placed his hands behind his back and said slowly, “Wang Che wasn’t lying. He saw the Oracle Phantom Spirit. Moreover, the reason for the appearance of the Oracle Phantom Spirit was not because of the Earth Fire… Instead, it was because the self-destruction caused by that Divine Flame Giant would alarm the underground of the seventh level at that time. It would cause the underground to collapse and affect the Transversal Peak Cave.”

n“This little thing is so intelligent… It appeared and calmed the Divine Flame Giant’s self-destruction. Clearly, it sensed this disaster. However, why did Wang Che see it?”

n“That’s not important.” The Oracle Heavenly King frowned as she looked at the nearby Heavenly Peak Mountain, “The most important thing is to find the Oracle Phantom Spirit.”

n“If we don’t find it, we can only passively endure the disaster that’s about to happen here… It’s that Giant Beast down there!”

nHeavenly King Zhan shook his head and said, “Every time this little thing appears, nothing good happens… but it can indeed resolve some disasters… I wonder if it’s bad luck or good luck.”

n“However, it’s not right to say that we’ll passively endure it.”

n“Oh?” The Oracle Heavenly King raised her eyebrows, “Have you analyzed the situation over there?”

n“It’s not analyzed, but there are some guesses. A few days ago, after you sensed the mental fluctuations of the Oracle Phantom Spirit in this generation, the Ninth Investigation Bureau worked overtime to study and analyze some ancient history. They discovered that there was a problem with Heavenly Peak Mountain.”

n“What question?”

n“It’s related to the Transversal Peak Cave,” Heavenly King Zhan whispered. “You know the origin of the Transversal Peak Cave. As for the Heavenly Peak Mountain, it’s very special. According to some ancient documents, this mountain seems to be connected to something underground in the Remote Antiquity Era.”

n“It’s not a soul beast or that Ancient Fiend.”

n“I don’t know the exact details… There are no detailed records anymore. Those documents only record some ancient words… In any case, it doesn’t look like anything good.”

n“Moreover, imagine why this Ancient Fiend lived under the Heavenly Peak Mountain since that era? There are so many places underground. Why did it choose to stay here?”

n“With our strength, we can enter this underground to explore. However, there’s also the Ancient Fiend below. Once we go deep, if we can’t do anything, we might easily awaken it.”

n“The appearance of the Oracle Phantom Spirit must have sensed something…”

nAfter hearing this, the Oracle Heavenly King frowned even more.

nFrom Heavenly King Zhan’s tone, she felt that something was wrong.

n“Don’t worry, these are just guesses,” the Cloud Sky Heavenly King said. “With his current strength, if he can’t find the Oracle Phantom Spirit, it won’t be a problem for him to walk out on his own.”

n“Even if there’s really a problem, with your mental strength, you can quickly sense him and find him.”

nWith the Heavenly King guarding here, there would naturally be no problems.

nThat was what they thought.

nThree days later.

n“Shriek!”

nThe Ink Feather Green Spirit, which was patrolling, suddenly let out a violent cry.

nThe Oracle Heavenly King in a meditative state suddenly woke up!

n“Little Feather, what’s wrong?”

nThe Oracle Heavenly King looked at the Ink Feather Green Spirit.

nThe Ink Feather Green Spirit flapped its wings and pointed at the Heavenly Peak Mountain in front, letting out a hurried cry.

n“You lost contact?”

nThe Oracle Heavenly King’s heart jumped.

nWhen Wang Che left, he kept his communication device.

nIn the past three days, Wang Che’s path had been normal. Although he did not find the Oracle Phantom Spirit, there was no danger.

nThe Ink Feather Green Spirit attached itself to Wang Che.

nThe Ink Feather Green Spirit would also fly to the surroundings of the Heavenly Peak Mountain and sense it with its mind. Once there was a problem with any location, it would send the location to Wang Che immediately and let him investigate.

nIn order to not alert the Oracle Phantom Spirit, it would not enter the range of the Heavenly Peak Mountain.

nIt could only sense it slightly with its mental strength and could not be too strong.

nIn fact, it still depended on Wang Che.

nNothing happened in the past three days.

n“Not only did we lose contact, but why is there so much fog on the Heavenly Peak Mountain? Immediately send the data to the Soul Earth Investigation Bureau and the research base.”

nThe Oracle Heavenly King sat on the Ink Feather Green Spirit’s back and flew to the sky.

nShe took a deep breath.

nLayers of mysterious clouds appeared on the huge Heavenly Peak Mountain, covering the entire mountain and the nearby area.

nOnce mental strength seeped in, it was like a drop in an ocean. It could not sense anything.

n“Not good… Why did I lose contact… Could something have happened to this kid? Little Feather, guard outside and help me contact the others. I have to go in and take a look first.”

nThe Oracle Heavenly King patted the Ink Feather Green Spirit’s back.

nThen, she leaped and disappeared into the clouds…

n——

n“This place is actually so strange?”

nWalking in the ancient forest, he was surrounded by broken trees and rocks. The path was steep. Wang Che frowned slightly.

nIt had been three days since he entered the Heavenly Peak Mountain.

nThe Ink Feather Green Spirit sent more than ten mental fluctuations.

nHowever, they didn’t even find the Oracle Phantom Spirit. They only found some traces left behind by soul pets or other random things.

nSome were feces, some were corpses, and there were also some special soul plants.

nHe also encountered a few soul beasts. Wang Che trained Bear Treasure to use its current strength and easily defeated them.

nEven if it was a ten-thousand-year soul beast, after Bear Treasure activated the Titan True Body, it could basically crush it easily.

nWithout using the Titan True Body, it was almost invincible with its Overlord’s Strength and Divine Might.

nAfter evolution, Bear Treasure’s cultivation also increased.

nIt had endured the life force baptism of the six soul bones. After evolution, its physical strength had greatly increased in all aspects.

nIts soul power cultivation increased by 500 years, from 3,300 years to 3,800 years.

nIt was comparable to the Magnetic Sword!

nEvolution could be said to be the most direct process of a soul pet’s cultivation increase.

nWang Che looked up at the sky.

nStars filled the sky.

nHe looked at the time on the communication device. It was still at twelve.

n“If my calculations are correct… it should be around ten in the morning on the third day. The time on the communication device has not changed since last night… Moreover, the Ink Feather Green Spirit did not send any more messages. The communication device has failed.”

nWang Che calculated, “Nothing strange happened a few days ago…”

nHe used the little caterpillar to start a fire and rested for a while.

nOne person and three soul pets surrounded the fire.

nBear Treasure’s evolution made the little caterpillar and the Magnetic Sword feel temporarily uncomfortable.

nEspecially the little caterpillar, it felt that it could not bully Bear Treasure like before.

nWhen they first entered this place, Wang Che released the three little guys and walked happily.

nWhen resting, the little caterpillar wanted to give Bear Treasure some pointers and train it.

nIt was the day Bear Treasure evolved. It rested in the soul realm for half a day, but as soon as it trained, it discovered that Bear Treasure had changed.

nAfter three days, the little caterpillar felt pressured.

nEspecially attribute soul skills, their effect on Bear Treasure decreased drastically.

nThe strongest fire attribute could also cause some damage because of the special flames.

nAs for the rest, if it did not enter the True Dragon Form, it would feel useless.

nOnly the spatial soul skill was still effective, especially the Multiple Force Field.

nThe little caterpillar felt that its big brother’s status was threatened, so it increased its daily training.

nFinally, a day ago, it learned Spatial Slash.

nAt this moment, the three little guys surrounded Wang Che and listened to his story.

nIf they wanted to continue exploring, they had to rest daily.

nThe little caterpillar still felt that it was meaningful after hearing this. It looked up at the sky and saw the stars. It called out to Wang Che, “Ssss!”

nThe sky was not bright yet, which meant that it was still time to rest.

n‘I’m going to sleep.’

nAs it spoke, it was about to enter the soul realm to sleep.

n“It’s already morning,” Wang Che said. “There’s a problem here. Time and space are in chaos. It’s time to go to work.”

nThe little caterpillar felt that Wang Che was lying to it.

nThe sky was clearly not bright.

n“It’s okay. Go rest.” Wang Che glanced at it.

nThe little caterpillar was a little surprised. It did not expect Wang Che to agree.

nHmm… the little caterpillar was thinking.

nAt this moment, Wang Che muttered to himself, “I’m going to watch Bear Treasure cultivate. Hmm, it’s so strong now. It seems that I have to choose another big brother for the three of you.”

nThe little caterpillar immediately jumped up behind Wang Che and cried out.

n“Ssss!”

n‘I’m awake, I’m not resting!’

n‘Let’s go, charge, charge!’

n“You’ve been training hard these past few days.” Wang Che turned around and smiled, “Rest more.”

nThe little caterpillar shook its head and patted its head with its tail. It was very energetic.

nWang Che smiled and was about to pack up and continue setting off.

nAt this moment, the ground ahead trembled like an earthquake…

n
