"I can't believe I actually succeeded, and this technique can also temper my spiritual power." Ling Feng was a little excited.
At first, Ling Feng had wanted to create a technique that used meridians for cultivation, one that could improve Soul Power while also tempering and unblocking the meridians.
But this Rakshasa Visualization Method was pretty good too. It could help Ling Feng temper his spiritual power, and it was more than a whole tier better than the Meditation Method he had practiced before.
If he wanted to temper his meridians, he could add meridian cultivation when he improved the technique later.
Ling Feng didn't know that Rakshasa Bibi Dong, who was staying in his Sea of Consciousness, had also sensed a change.
"What's going on?" Rakshasa Bibi Dong wondered.
"Why did I just feel a trace of my divine power recovering?"
That trace of divine power was incredibly faint—so faint it could be ignored—but her divine soul was keen enough to sense it.
"Could the technique Ling Feng created also help me recover?" Rakshasa Bibi Dong wondered.
After a while, once Ling Feng had finished cultivating, she impatiently pulled him into the space where she was.
Ling Feng had only just woken from his cultivation when he felt Rakshasa Bibi Dong summoning him.
As it happened, Rakshasa Bibi Dong was in such a hurry that she forgot to switch into the mindset of the Rakshasa God.
She was wearing a brilliant golden gown, and her hair fell naturally around her shoulders. She wasn't wearing any elaborate ornaments.
But her hideous, blue-green face with its protruding fangs had vanished, replaced by her original appearance.
It was Bibi Dong, fully grown now, noble and elegant, with a charm all her own.
She reclined on the throne, her legs crossed.
Perhaps to recapture the comfort and ease she had felt when she was alive, she had left her jade-white feet bare in the open air.
"So beautiful!" Ling Feng thought.
When Bibi Dong saw Ling Feng's gaze burning into her, she looked down and only then realized that she had revealed her true appearance.
"Oh no, will he recognize who I really am?"
Bibi Dong didn't have time to change forms now, so she could only hope Ling Feng hadn't recognized her.
"Senior, did you need something?" Ling Feng quickly came back to his senses.
"He really didn't recognize me!" Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
The young Bibi Dong was worlds apart from the Bibi Dong who had become a god, both in temperament and appearance.
So Rakshasa Bibi Dong believed Ling Feng hadn't realized that she and the young Bibi Dong were the same person.
"Did you succeed in creating your technique?" Bibi Dong asked.
"I was lucky enough to succeed. I also have you to thank for your guidance, Senior!" Ling Feng replied.
Ling Feng guessed that his success had something to do with seeing the Rakshasa God Body, as well as Bibi Dong's permission.
"You can't be careless when cultivating a technique. Give it to me... I'll look it over for you!" Bibi Dong said.
Ling Feng didn't know why Rakshasa Bibi Dong wanted the technique. Surely it couldn't help her at all?
Still, Ling Feng didn't refuse. He explained the technique to Bibi Dong.
Even after listening, Rakshasa Bibi Dong was still puzzled by the recovery of her divine power.
"Could the technique have nothing to do with it?" Rakshasa Bibi Dong wondered.
"Senior, is there something wrong with the technique?" Ling Feng asked.
Rakshasa Bibi Dong shook her head. How could she tell whether there was anything wrong with it?
"I really am lucky to have found a genius like Ling Feng. He created a new technique in just one day."
"If I tell him what's troubling me, could he figure out why my divine power is recovering?"
Rakshasa Bibi Dong was torn. She was afraid that asking Ling Feng for help would make it hard for her to maintain the image of a deity.
Would Ling Feng still help her after that?
"Forget it. I'm already in this state. What's there to be afraid of?"
Rakshasa Bibi Dong made up her mind to tell Ling Feng what was troubling her.
"Ling Feng, I sensed my divine power beginning to recover just now. Do you think it has anything to do with the technique you created?"
"What? Bibi Dong's divine power is starting to recover?" Ling Feng was taken aback.
This Bibi Dong was no pushover. Once she regained her power, would she turn against him?
Ling Feng thought back over the two months they had spent together. Aside from reprimanding and humiliating Yu Xiaogang, he didn't think he had offended Rakshasa Bibi Dong.
"It should be fine, right? After all, Bibi Dong never stopped me when I humiliated Yu Xiaogang?"
If she hadn't stopped him, that meant she had tacitly approved, didn't it?
Ling Feng felt reassured and began thinking about what had caused Bibi Dong's divine power to recover.
"Could it be the power of faith? I cultivated Soul Power just now while visualizing Bibi Dong's body. Does that mean I became one of her believers?"
"And this power of faith was exceptionally pure. It wasn't skimmed off by the Divine Realm, so Bibi Dong could sense her divine power recovering?"
It would be easy to test this theory. He only needed to spread the technique and have other people practice it.
If Rakshasa Bibi Dong could also recover her divine power after others successfully practiced the Rakshasa Visualization Method, that would prove Ling Feng's theory was right.
"Senior, could this be because practicing the technique made me believe in you?"
"Did the power of faith restore a little of your divine power?" Ling Feng asked.
"The power of faith?" Rakshasa Bibi Dong had never ascended to the Divine Realm, so she wasn't familiar with how it worked.
"Senior, it'll be easy to test this. I'll pass the technique on to someone else."
"If another Soul Master recovers your divine power after successfully practicing it, then we'll know the technique is the reason."
Rakshasa Bibi Dong was tempted. If Ling Feng was right, she might be able to regain her power—and even come back to life.
"This boy really is brilliant. He actually thought of this approach!"
"Yu Xiaogang's so-called peerless wisdom is nothing but a firefly compared to the bright moon when set against this boy!"
After thinking it over, Rakshasa Bibi Dong decided to let Ling Feng try.
If she could recover even a little divine power, she would be able to do more.
Of course, she could already wield a little power, but doing so would consume her divine soul energy.
With her remnant soul, once that energy was used up, the day she vanished wouldn't be far off.
"Fine, go and try!"
"If I can recover my divine power, I can use it to improve your Martial Soul's potential!" Rakshasa Bibi Dong promised.
Ling Feng was delighted. His Martial Soul's quality was closely tied to his cultivation speed.
If his Martial Soul could reach the Spider Emperor level, it would give him cultivation aptitude equivalent to Innate Full Soul Power.
"Thank you, Senior. I'll do my best to spread the technique as soon as possible!" Ling Feng said.
Rakshasa Bibi Dong shook her head. "There's no hurry. Test it first. If your theory proves true, then you can spread the technique far and wide!"
"There's one more thing. Don't include the words 'Rakshasa' in the name of the technique you spread."
Rakshasa Bibi Dong hadn't forgotten that there was still a Rakshasa God in the Divine Realm.
Who knew whether spreading the technique would draw that god's attention—or even let them steal the fruit of her labor?
