In the Heavenly Screen.
Huo Yuhao lightly knocked on the wooden door and stepped into the courtyard of the Sacred Hall. At the end of the stone steps, Electrolux's soul phantom was engrossed in reading classics, his withered fingers flowing with a starlight-like magic halo.
"Elder Yi, all the conditions are ready. We can arrange the revival ceremony and reshape bodies for you, Ice Empress, and Tian Meng."
Electrolux looked up, put down the classic in his hand, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes. "Yuhao is here, please sit first."
Huo Yuhao sat opposite him. His gaze swept over the classic Electrolux had put down, and he was slightly surprised. "Astral Projection and Soul Origin Analysis. Elder Yi, your progress is so fast."
"I can't compare to you, Yuhao," Electrolux shook his head. "I had some research on souls before I died."
"Although the mages in my original world and the mages in the Sacred Hall are not the same, there are some common principles, so it's easier to get started."
"As for you, Yuhao, you've become proficient in just one year. Even Venerable Gu Yi calls you a Grandmaster Aura. It truly makes this old man ashamed..."
Speaking of this, Electrolux showed a proud look. "However, I haven't wasted time this past year. Combining my past methods with the Sacred Hall's soul spells, I've created two secret techniques. You can learn them later, Yuhao."
"Oh? What secret techniques?" Huo Yuhao showed an interested look.
"These two secret techniques are Spirit Arrest and Dispatch, and Spirit Devour and Soul Strengthen," Elder Yi explained while stroking the spine of the classic in his hand.
"In my life, I commanded countless undead and caused an Undead Calamity. This Spirit Arrest and Dispatch is something I created by combining Sacred Hall soul magic. It's a secret method that can maximally detain and drive spirit bodies."
"As for the other, Spirit Devour and Soul Strengthen, it's because I myself am just a remnant soul. Even with Life Gold and the Sacred Hall, which are treasure lands for nurturing souls, it's difficult as heaven to fully recover."
"Therefore, I painstakingly researched and created this technique, which is to devour and plunder the power of other spirit bodies to strengthen my own soul and accelerate recovery."
He paused, and Electrolux added, "I tried these two secret techniques on those outer dimension invading monsters a while ago when I had an opportunity. They were indeed quite effective."
"However, the Spirit Devouring Method uses external spirit bodies as resources to compensate for oneself. There are some hidden dangers, and it's useless to use it much. Yuhao, you must use it cautiously after you learn it."
Huo Yuhao nodded upon hearing this and said seriously, "I understand, Elder Yi."
"By the way, Elder Yi, I've prepared all the materials and preliminary preparations needed for the revival ceremony. Next, we can reshape bodies for you and Brother Tian Meng!"
Electrolux patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder and paused for several seconds before slowly speaking, "Thank you for your hard work, Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao smiled. "It's nothing. I joined the Sacred Hall and caused Brother Tian Meng's plan to become a god to fail. Although no one said anything, I have to make some compensation."
Electrolux sighed and said nothing more. The two of them went to call Tian Meng Ice Empress and the other soul spirits living in the outer areas of the Sacred Hall, preparing to begin the revival ceremony.
The next moment, the scene shifted to a dark hall.
Kaecilius, with a gloomy face, stood in the center of the hall. A dozen followers in black robes formed a circle around him. On the small altar in the middle were two torn pages of a ritual book.
"Master Kaecilius, will we really succeed?" a pale-faced man suddenly asked.
Kaecilius didn't look at him, only gazed at the pages on the altar and said faintly, "I am very sure of it."
"What if our ritual fails? Are you that confident?" the man asked again, as if deliberately looking for trouble.
This time, Kaecilius finally looked at him and then slowly said, "We will definitely succeed. The ritual cannot fail."
"Why? What if the ritual you deciphered is wrong?" the man asked again.
"If the ritual is wrong, then He will ignore us, and we will slowly die naturally, one by one..."
Kaecilius's gaze was dark and indifferent. "But we are not the ones knocking on the door, it is Him! He is waiting for people like us to appear and open the door to let Him in!"
After speaking, Kaecilius no longer hesitated. He formed a complex hand seal with both hands, then crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and recited the incantation: "Master of the Dark Dimension, Dormammu the Eternal Undying, I offer my devotion here..."
As the clearly directed title was spoken, Kaecilius's facial muscles suddenly trembled slightly. His glabella emitted a sizzling sound, and a dark red strange seal appeared!
The followers around Kaecilius also closed their eyes, waved their arms to form hand seals, and recited the prayer: "Master of the Dark Dimension, Dormammu the Eternal Undying..."
Accompanied by sizzling sounds like hot iron branding flesh and the muffled groans of the followers enduring the pain, finally, almost everyone's forehead showed the mark of the Dark Dimension.
Only the man who questioned Kaecilius at the beginning, although he also closed his eyes and chanted the spell like the others, waited until everyone else stopped. After chanting a few more times, he reached out to touch his forehead.
There was nothing there.
The man slowly opened his eyes, looked at Kaecilius, who was staring at him expressionlessly, and his voice trembled slightly. "Master, I regret it... Can I withdraw?"
"I just said the wrong thing," Kaecilius said as he walked towards the man, crossing his hands and slowly stretching them. A spear that seemed to be made of mist appeared in his hand.
"You will not die naturally!" As his voice fell, Kaecilius suddenly swung the dimensional spear in his hand.
A mist-like wound appeared on the man's body, and then his body slowly split in half from the middle, falling to the ground.
After executing the wavering member of the group, Kaecilius glanced at his followers, then dropped the dimensional spear in his hand, spread his arms, and waved them towards the entire hall.
The next moment, this hall, which was in reality, began to expand and move with a rumbling sound!
The entire hall roared like a primordial beast! The pillars twisted into spirals, the floor tiles surged like waves, and the walls and bricks rearranged themselves.
The methods that the Guardian Mages of the Sacred Hall could only use in the Illusion Space were now being used in reality by Kaecilius, who had gained the Dark Dimension Power!
Kaecilius slowly clenched his fist, looking at the constantly changing dome, floor, and walls of the hall, which resembled a kaleidoscope, and a dangerous smile appeared on his face. "Next, we should go and open the door for Our Lord to enter this world..."
