Chapter 38 Soul Magic and Rune Masters
It wasn't just Huo Yuhao, but also Bingdi and even Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
For Hyotei, Electrolux's insights are relevant to her training after her rebirth and may provide great assistance.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, on the other hand, is trying to use Electrolux to continuously increase the stakes on one side of his inner balance.
Seeing their focused expressions, Electrox said, "Yuhao, would you mind showing me your spirit rings?"
Huo Yuhao immediately returned his spirit to his body, summoned his spirit ring, and showed it to Electrolux.
In the end, he even temporarily handed over control of his body to Electrolux, allowing Electrolux to personally experience the Soul Ring.
Electrolux observed carefully for a long time, until the eastern sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, before continuing his analysis:
"I always feel that the development of the Soul Master system has become sluggish, or as if it has been cut off in half."
"To become a god simply by focusing on spirit rings and spirit skills... that doesn't make sense."
"And most importantly, even if one becomes a god in this way, one will only become an empty god."
He made a startling statement.
"All I can say right now is to use the history of the evolution of civilization on the Holy Demon Continent to explain what I currently think of Soul Masters."
"In my view, the Soul Master system forcibly connects Soul Masters with the laws of heaven and earth by using Soul Rings as a medium."
Huo Yuhao quickly responded, "So, each spirit ring is actually a miniature bridge?"
Electrolux nodded.
Then he raised his withered fingers, lightly tapped his fingertips, and sketched a complex rune in Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness.
Huo Yuhao, Bingdi, and Tianmeng Bingcan looked over and discovered that it was a soul ring with a three-layered concentric circle structure and a vibrant gray appearance.
"The outer layer of the spirit ring is a spirit power seal, which is used to ensure that the spirit power will not leak out."
"And the inner layer contains fragments of the souls of soul beasts."
Electrolux looked at Hyotei.
"Just like the Ice Emperor, and the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape that the Ice Emperor mentioned, even if you made sacrifices, some of your soul fragments still exist in your soul rings."
"Perhaps this is related to the sacrifice, because your soul rings did not produce a soul shock, and the soul fragments in the soul rings were not annihilated."
"However, soul beasts that have lived for ten, a hundred, or a thousand years have not developed intelligence and their souls are too weak, so the soul fragments stored in their soul rings will not cause soul vibrations."
Hyotei did not doubt Electrox's opinion.
He is the Holy God of the Dead, and also the Calamity of the Undead. When it comes to understanding the soul, no one in the entire Douluo Continent can compare.
"As for the core layer of the spirit ring, it consists of fragments of laws."
"Therefore, a spirit ring, whether it takes ten years or a million years, is essentially a simple magic circle."
"The martial spirit is the core of the formation, and the soul power is the consumable for casting the magic array."
"Soul Masters use Soul Rings as bridges and altars, then sacrifice them to their own Martial Soul, thus gaining the ability to communicate with the elements of heaven and earth."
Then Electrolux looked at Hyotei and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
He frowned and said, "As for why you soul beasts are born with the ability to communicate with the laws of heaven and earth, I cannot explain that to you, because you soul beasts have no history."
Therefore, there is no way to explain why your growth process is so slow.
Ice Emperor and Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm exchanged a glance, then shook their heads and sighed in unison.
As soul beasts, they possess long lifespans.
However, they have never considered or examined their own existence from a civilized perspective.
Huo Yuhao pondered.
He recalled his opinion that day regarding the lack of inheritance among soul beasts.
Compared to the Heavenly Profound Beasts, the history of Soul Beasts is indeed a missing fragment of memory in the Douluo Continent.
Huo Yuhao said, "Soul beasts are like crutches on the path of a Soul Master's growth."
Electrolux agreed, "That's right. A mature cultivation system doesn't need to rely on external aids. Instead, after a period of refinement, it can directly communicate with the laws of heaven and earth."
"The simplest understanding is—starting fire with flint. Once you understand the principle of fire-making, you naturally won't need to rely on a specific stone."
"In my eyes, neither beast spirit nor weapon spirit is something that a spirit master possesses."
"Beast Martial Souls can be understood as the bloodline of the Soul Master, who came into contact with Soul Beasts at some point in history. However, Weapon Martial Souls are completely inexplicable; they are clearly caused by external forces."
"Only the original spirit is something that truly belongs to the spirit master."
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt as if something in his heart had been illuminated.
Upon hearing this, Hyotei remained silent.
She suddenly felt that she should ask Huo Yuhao to go to the far north and tell Xue Di everything.
Electrolux raised his finger.
The three concentric ring phantoms actually unfolded vertically, transforming into a three-tiered staircase.
"The first level is primitive civilization, using the false to cultivate the true."
His finger lightly touched the first step, and then the figures of Poison Undying and Moon appeared there.
"The second level, intermediate civilization, is the understanding of nature; I am nature."
The second level began to change, and images of the undead calamity appeared in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
"The third level of civilization, this is the cultivation realm that the Holy Demon Continent has conjectured—the Law of Creation."
Huo Yuhao felt dizzy and disoriented.
Just then, the martial arts manual, which had remained unresponsive, suddenly burst forth with an extremely dazzling light!
Hyotei and Tenmeng Ice Silkworm were startled by this sudden turn of events.
The brilliance of the Martial Scripture overwhelmed Huo Yuhao and Electrolux, causing them to simultaneously reveal expressions of sudden enlightenment.
Finally, when the light of the Martial Scripture faded, Huo Yuhao and Electrolux exchanged a glance, and then simultaneously burst into laughter.
Without hesitation, Electrox bowed deeply to Wu Jingshi and said, "Electrox thanks Martial Ancestor!"
From the light he had just seen, he saw a tall and imposing man standing in the starry sky.
He hadn't done or said anything, yet Electrox somehow knew that the Martial Ancestor's realm was above the Dominator level.
These are thoughts that go straight to the depths of one's heart, thoughts that cannot be spoken or understood.
Even with just a glance, Electrolux could tell that this was the cultivation realm of the third level of civilization.
As for Huo Yuhao, he gained recognition from the Talisman Master system in the Martial Scripture.
He realized that the idea of building his own path using soul magic and the rune master system was indeed feasible.
This differs from the original founder's philosophy.
Huo Yuhao had already witnessed the scenery of a mid-level civilization, namely the cultivation system of the Tianxuan Continent.
Therefore, his approach is to use the creative principles of advanced civilization as a concept, and intermediate civilization, namely martial arts manuals, talisman master system, and soul magic, as means to drive the primitive soul master system forward.
This orderly way of walking is highly feasible.
Huo Yuhao's eyes gleamed with a clear light, stirring up towering waves in his spiritual sea.
Electrolux bowed three times to Wu Jing, then raised his fingers together and pointed to his brow.
A hazy, yet vibrant light emanated from him.
The steps in mid-air transformed back into three concentric soul rings, which were then placed directly on Huo Yuhao.
No, to be precise, it merged into Huo Yuhao's pupils.
This wasn't simply adding a spirit ring to Huo Yuhao; rather, it was the magical inheritance from Electrolux.
"Yuhao, Martial Ancestor allowed me to witness the third level of civilization; I have no way to repay you."
He said, "Therefore, I will impart all my magical training knowledge to you, hoping it will be of some help to you."
