Cultivation Verification

The main hall of the Body Sect.

At this moment, only Du Busi and Huo Yuhao were in the main hall. Even the elders of the Body Sect were deep in thought, digesting the gains of the past few days.

"Yuhao, you want to research Soul Tool?" Du Busi's first reaction upon hearing Huo Yuhao's idea was to refuse, and he was also somewhat puzzled.

Previously, after Du Busi successfully broke through to the Limit Douluo level, when he emerged from seclusion, he used his Soul Power and understanding of poison to baptize all the disciples of the Body Sect for three days and three nights.

During these three days, from the Titled Douluo of the sects to the ordinary disciples of the Body Sect, all the members of the Body Sect benefited greatly.

Meanwhile, during this process, Du Busi also laid a foundation for everyone with his subtle control over toxins, thus preparing them for cultivation based on Huo Yuhao's theories.

However, after Du Busi withdrew his Soul Power, Huo Yuhao came to his door. Because of Jin Peng's seclusion, Du Busi originally planned to sort out the accumulated affairs in the sect and hand them over to the other elders.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao spoke of ideas that would be considered outrageous by most Soul Master in the past.

Although Du Busi has changed his views on Soul Tool and understands that the threat posed by Soul Tool is indeed worth taking seriously, the Heavenly Soul Empire's foundation in Soul Tool research and development is still too weak.

Even with the fact that the Body Sect had plundered a group of high-quality Soul Engineer from the Mingde Hall, it only solved the most troubling initial problem for the Heavenly Soul Empire.

However, before the research on Soul Tool can truly get on track and catch up with the Soul Tool Sun Moon Empire's research progress in this area, the Heavenly Soul Empire undoubtedly still lacks a considerable amount of development time.

Moreover, for the Soul Master of their Body Sect, isn't it enough that the Soul Tool works? As for how to make it, why do they need to study it too much?

In this situation, wouldn't Huo Yuhao's desire to research Soul Tool be a waste of his talent?

Huo Yuhao smiled upon hearing this, and then continued, "That's not what I meant. I don't want to become Soul Engineer. Master, I just want to study those high-level Soul Tool that you brought back from the Mingde Hall."

"Your disciple can Simulation most of the Soul Skill and combat skills by combining Martial Soul, Soul Skill and Spiritual Power. You are naturally quite aware of this, Master."

"Although the Soul Tool is said to produce a Soul Skill effect by utilizing the Soul Tool Core Array, for me, the operation of the Soul Tool Core Array is also something that can be completely Simulation."

"Although the logic of the Soul Tool Core Array is different from that of ordinary Soul Skill in most cases."

"However, the final form of it is not much different from a normal Soul Skill, and may even be better. The philosophy behind it coincides with the disciple's cultivation direction."

"Therefore, I intend to improve my understanding of combat by studying the Soul Tool Core Array within these high-level Soul Tool."

"I have a pretty good understanding of the combat techniques within the sect and the Soul Skill used by the disciples, so I wanted to start from a new angle to gain inspiration."

"Moreover, as the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' Although I do not intend to become Soul Engineer, by studying the Soul Tool Core Array of these Soul Tool, I can gain a certain understanding of Soul Engineer, which will enable me to better fight against them."

After listening to Huo Yuhao's words, Du Busi nodded thoughtfully. "I see. But you can't bite off more than you can chew. Yuhao, you should focus your cultivation on your own cultivation level."

"However, quite a few high-quality Soul Tool were indeed brought out from the Mingde Hall before, and even a very special Soul Tool was brought out."

"However, we couldn't understand how to drive and control this thing at all, so we just sealed it away."

"Since you have this idea, Yuhao, instead of letting that big thing sit there collecting dust, why not let you study it Yuhao? If you can get some inspiration from Yuhao, that would be a good thing."

"However, this item is not with me at the moment. I left it in Heaven Dou City. It just so happens that I will need to deal with the matter of joining forces with other sects in a while. I will bring it back when I do."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao didn't dwell on it too much. After all, he had learned about the Sun Moon Empire's research achievements in Humanoid Soul Tool from the original novel, and his purpose in coming here was precisely for this item.

Although he was unaware that due to the Butterfly Effect, the Humanoid Soul Tool had undergone subtle differences compared to the original work.

However, in the original work, although this Humanoid Soul Tool was extremely cumbersome and unusable, it was indeed the culmination of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tool technology.

He had previously learned from Du Busi that during the invasion of the Mingde Hall, the Body Sect had indeed found a similar Soul Tool and brought it back.

For Huo Yuhao, this was exactly what he wanted. If he could obtain this Humanoid Soul Tool and analyze it, he could gain a glimpse of its true nature with the help of the Eye of Truth.

Huo Yuhao could at least use this to figure out the operating methods, weaknesses, and control methods of more than 90% of the Soul Tool of the Sun Moon Empire.

Aside from some top-tier Soul Tool that are as important as Humanoid Soul Tool but have different research directions and technological developments, Huo Yuhao was confident that he could turn 90% of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tool into a pile of scrap metal in front of him.

Although Soul Tool, like Soul Master, control energy by adjusting the trajectory of Soul Power to create various Soul Skill.

However, unlike Soul Master who are made of flesh and blood, although Soul Tool are more durable and wear-resistant due to their material, there are also disadvantages. Repairing them is far more difficult than healing a Soul Master.

The Core Array of Soul Power within Soul Tool, as the Soul Tool the Soul Power's trajectory, naturally requires a high degree of precision, which in turn creates a weakness for the Soul Tool.

That is, if the key nodes of the Soul Tool Core Array are damaged, the effect of the entire Soul Tool may be greatly reduced, or even rendered useless.

Therefore, when designing Soul Tool, in addition to the most important Soul Tool Core Array, Soul Engineer also design a thick and durable outer shell for the Soul Tool to protect the operation of the Soul Tool Core Array.

Furthermore, based on this, Soul Engineer will also set up multiple Soul Tool Core Array to maintain the safety of the most important Soul Tool Core Array.

Even the design of the Soul Tool Core Array itself contains a lot of complicated structures to resist external attacks.

Although these measures greatly increase the carving steps and production difficulty of the Soul Tool Core Array, they can effectively deal with most attacks and wear and tear on the Soul Tool Core Array itself.

In addition, some high-grade rare metals also have properties such as shaping, stability, and damage resistance, so over time, no one would think of destroying the Soul Tool Core Array itself.

After all, firstly, they don't know the exact location of the Soul Tool Core Array of the soul guidance Soul Tool in someone else's possession, and secondly, even if they know the key nodes of the Soul Tool Core Array of one or two Soul Tool.

However, if the opponent is also an experienced Soul Engineer, being able to attack the main body of the opponent's Soul Tool is almost equivalent to being able to directly attack the opponent himself.

If that's the case, why not prioritize dealing with the Soul Engineer instead of going to the trouble of dealing with the Soul Tool? After all, for most Soul Master, their fighting style is all about brute force, not fancy moves.

However, Huo Yuhao thought otherwise. With the Eye of Truth, he could do things with far more detail and precision through the manipulation of Spiritual Power and Soul Power than ordinary Soul Master.

In addition to the Soul Tool directly controlled by the Soul Engineer, there are also powerful weapons such as Fixed Soul Cannon Shell that truly established the status of Soul Engineer, as well as the Soul Tool Armor that the Sun Moon Empire now equips most of its soldiers with.

For Huo Yuhao, as long as he understands their structure, he can completely bring these powerful weapons under his control.

As long as the structure of the Fixed Soul Cannon Shell can be cracked, then in front of Huo Yuhao, all the Fixed Soul Cannon Shell will be rendered useless by his thought, directly becoming duds, and Huo Yuhao can then turn them into weapons to attack the enemy.

Even the Battle Armor of later generations was developed based on Humanoid Soul Tool and Soul Tool Armor. In essence, it is still an external object rather than the Soul Master himself. Although it has spirituality, it is difficult to reach the level of Divine Artifact, let alone the Soul Tool Armor of this era.

The Inscription structure of the Divine Artifact itself is perfectly natural. Although it is also a trajectory of energy circulation, it is closely connected with the carrier itself. As long as the carrier is not completely destroyed, it can function normally, which is fundamentally different from the Soul Tool.

Therefore, as long as Huo Yuhao can crack the Soul Tool Core Array of the Soul Tool Armor, Huo Yuhao can even control the Soul Tool Armor and directly lock down those Soul Engineers and Soldiers who rely on the Soul Tool Armor for amplified combat.

In addition, there were runes that Huo Yuhao had previously gleaned from Wang Dong'er's Spiritual Sea through the Eye of Truth, Rune could cause people to have Rejection Reaction to Soul Tool.

Although Huo Yuhao can only release and activate this Rune at close range at present.

However, it is foreseeable that once this Humanoid Soul Tool is successfully analyzed, Huo Yuhao's ability to restrain Soul Engineer will be unimaginable. Even Level 9 Soul Engineer will be overwhelmed by Huo Yuhao.

As for having to wait a little longer to get it, then so be it. After leaving the sect's main hall, Huo Yuhao went straight back to his Cultivation Room.

For Huo Yuhao, there is still a lot to learn and research. As for his idea of cracking the Soul Tool, it is only one part of it.

After closing his eyes and entrusting his Divine Body to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao entered a state of cultivation. His spiritual body then entered the Spiritual Sea once again, where he triggered a mark left by Electrolux and descended into the Undead Demigod Plane.

When Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, he had already 'arrived' in the Undead Demigod Plane, but unlike his previous experiences of going there in person.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was using his arms to break through the mud in front of him before he was able to emerge.

On the gray-black earth, a crack appeared in the ground, and then a pale skeleton crawled out of it.

The skeleton was none other than Huo Yuhao, and at that moment, Electrolux's aged voice rang in his ears.

"Yuhao, your physique, energy, and Spiritual Power have all reached a bottleneck. You've also almost completely mastered the magic I've taught you, but that's still not enough."

Magic is merely a result that magicians arrive at during their exploration of the world; the key to achieving Demigod, or even Deity, lies in how one arrives at that result.

'Through my magic, a sliver of your spirit has now been attached to this skeleton I crafted specifically for you.'

'This skeleton isn't very strong; in fact, it could be considered quite weak, and it can't inherit any of your abilities.'

"But I hope you can use it to experience a different world, an ordinary world."

"Having unique talent is indeed an advantage for you, Yuhao, but it also creates a certain degree of separation between you and ordinary people."

'This isn't a good thing, because it will deprive you, Yuhao, of many experiences that only ordinary people have.'

These experiences and insights often become an inexplicable barrier when you try to understand the principles.

'Perhaps you can forcefully break through this barrier using your talent, but that doesn't mean the barrier will disappear.'

At this point, Electrolux seemed to sigh; 'Some things are rather laughable, ordinary people can hardly reach the cultivation level required to access the laws of nature.'

"And those geniuses, despite their extraordinary talent, often become so arrogant that they lose sight of the path ahead and ultimately go astray."

'Although I once achieved Divine Sense solely through spiritual attainment, breaking through to the level of Demigod, I was limited by the rules of my world and unwilling to take the final step. However, I am still very confident in my understanding of the laws.'

At this point, Electrolux's tone was neither sad nor happy. Compared to the smooth sailing he experienced as the Son of Light, the various painful experiences and the wanderings after learning Necromancy were the true Origin of what made him the Holy Necromancer.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao, controlling the body, slowly nodded. He had to admit that Electrolux's magic was truly amazing; although it wasn't his own body, it was now under his complete control.

Huo Yuhao ventured deeper into the Undead Demigod Plane, and at this moment, he was practicing to verify his understanding of the path of magic.
