Faced with the enormous beast's pounce, Yue Wen tried to flee, but with only a soul body, he was far from capable of flying through the skies or burrowing through the earth. He had barely turned and taken two steps before a huge shadow engulfed him.
An enormous maw descended, catching Yue Wen in its jaws and bringing a rumbling crash of destruction, as though heaven and earth were collapsing.
The sensation of being swallowed and chewed that he had imagined never came. The entire visualization world collapsed in an instant!
Yue Wen's Divine Sense returned to himself along with it.
"This Supernatural Power isn't very difficult to cultivate. You could even call it simple," he murmured thoughtfully. "The most important thing is to restrain your greed."
"Shaping the soul with Moonlight Essence is the slowest way to cultivate, but it produces the cleanest soulflame. Soul Breath Harvesting lets you absorb a little of someone else's soul power. Though it's somewhat faster, you'll also be affected by them, and your soulflame will become tainted. Soul Seizure Refinement is the fastest, but that approach ends in outright madness and cultivation deviation."
"Rather than teaching a Supernatural Power, this Visualization Diagram is more like a cautionary film, telling those who cultivate this method not to covet rapid progress and violate the natural order."
"Fundamentally, this isn't even a Demonic Cultivator's Cultivation Method. It simply fell into evil hands. In the hands of our Righteous Path, things are completely different."
The path of the soul was profoundly mysterious. Every person's soul carried countless spiritual thoughts, and whether cultivators harvested someone else's soul breath or plundered their living soul, they would take those spiritual thoughts into themselves as well.
As Yue Wen understood it, there was actually no such thing as true "soul seizure."
