Although Xu Zhengyang was still full of doubts, he was also secretly delighted. If Electrolux was in his Sea of Spirit, wouldn't that mean Electrolux could help him and teach him so-called Necromancy?
Necromancy is a completely new cultivation framework in the Douluo World, and it forms the foundation of the Spirit Pagoda that Huo Yuhao later founded. In particular, its unique undead attribute has an overwhelming effect on all Evil Soul Master in the Douluo Continent. It is also because of Necromancy that Huo Yuhao became so powerful and had such a strong restraining effect on Evil Soul Master.
"Senior Electrolux, what should I do now? You suddenly appeared because you sensed I was in danger, that's why you came to help, right?"
Electrolux nodded. "It's interesting talking to smart people. The curse on you is a dark energy attached to your Martial Soul. If it erupts, it's something a mere Soul Ancestor like you can't withstand."
"It was because I entered your body at the same time that I found the curse interesting, so I kept it under control, preventing you from losing control and the curse from truly damaging your body."
"However, this curse still exists. With your strength, even with the help of that little girl with the Angel Martial Soul, it would take at least until you reach the Soul Sage or even Soul Douluo to possibly remove it."
Xu Zhengyang instantly understood Electrolux's meaning.
"Senior, according to what you've said, you must have special methods to deal with this curse and this dark energy."
Electrolux laughed loudly, "Hahaha, should I say you're clever, or that you've been planning this for a long time? I even suspect that you knew of my existence and my specific abilities."
Xu Zhengyang's expression changed upon hearing this. He had indeed done some things that were beyond the norm over the years, and Electrolux had been observing him in secret, probably had his suspicions.
But Electrolux continued, "Don't be so nervous. I don't care about your past or any secrets you may have. As you said, I wasn't an ordinary person in my previous life. I was known as the Holy Necromancer, the Calamity of the Undead. My world has a cultivation system completely different from the Douluo World."
"In my world, there is Necromancy and Necromancy. Necromancy includes curses, viruses, summoning, and..."
"Dark arts, alchemy, and other such disciplines—even the strongest you've ever seen, the Xuan Zi who appeared in the Soul Fighting Battle Competition, are like ants before me."
"And those so-called curses on you are nothing compared to them. On the contrary, if you can make full use of these curses, you might even be able to glimpse the threshold of Necromancy. These curses are practically made for you."
Xu Zhengyang instantly understood what Electrolux meant. "Senior, do you mean you want to teach me how to use the energy of this curse, to teach me the Necromancy you mentioned?"
Electrolux waved his hand. "That's a long way off. What you need to do now is improve your survival skills, especially under the influence of dark energy. You need to be able to keep your life, otherwise it's all just empty talk. And now I'll show you what true Necromancy is."
As Electrolux finished speaking, the black patterns that were originally covering the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear suddenly erupted. All the patterns seemed to come alive instantly, and a cold consciousness from the deepest level began to awaken, transforming into a black figure. It was the black figure that disappeared under the lightning tribulation, and also the so-called creator of the Soul Devouring Carving Knife.
The figure seemed to have lost all consciousness and the malevolent aura it possessed in life, resembling a true ghost.
Then, the undead suddenly opened its enormous mouth, and the black vengeful spirits that had been flying everywhere, along with the evil aura that filled the surroundings, were quickly swallowed up by this giant mouth.
In an instant, all the vengeful spirits on the steps vanished without a trace, and even the original evil aura disappeared without a trace. The cursed spirits returned to the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear, reverting to their original black and eerie patterns, as if they had never existed.
However, Xu Zhengyang could clearly feel that the curse power on the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear had become much stronger, but this curse power and the pure yang heat of the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear were in a certain balance, and there was no other influence between them.
Xu Zhengyang could even clearly feel that the gray aura in his Sea of Spirit had become much stronger, and Electrolux's entire figure had become more powerful, but it was still attached to the Devil Tiger's Eye.
After that sudden outburst, Electrolux fell silent, and no matter how much Xu Zhengyang called out to him, he remained unresponsive.
Helpless, Xu Zhengyang had no choice but to continue down the stairs. This Electrolux was elusive and too mysterious to be trusted. Clearly, this was their first time communicating, and they were not familiar with or trust each other.
Upon reaching the end of the stairs, an extremely vast hall comes into view, with a diameter exceeding one kilometer. Countless passageways surround the hall, leading in all directions, yet fraught with danger.
A man in black stood closest to the passage; this was the man who had brought Xu Zhengyang to the Holy Spirit Cult.
The man was startled when he saw Xu Zhengyang walking down the steps, and his face was full of doubt.
Why did you get down here?
Xu Zhengyang smiled and said, "Didn't you tell me to come down? Why are you acting so strange now that I'm down?"
The man in black's eyes were filled with disbelief. According to his estimation, Xu Zhengyang was merely a Soul Ancestor, and it was impossible for him to walk down the stairs alone. You must know that the special evil energy and vengeful spirit puppets on the stairs could corrupt the soul of an intruder, causing the intruder to gradually lose consciousness, fall into madness, and even cause the Martial Soul to begin to gradually transform.
But Xu Zhengyang has actually come down unharmed, which is simply unbelievable.
The man in black stared intently at Xu Zhengyang's Martial Soul, the Tiger -Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear. He could clearly sense that Xu Zhengyang's Martial Soul seemed to have a special effect on the vengeful spirit puppet, as if it could control it. In particular, the evil aura on the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear seemed to have become much stronger.
It should be noted that this method is only available to the Holy Spirit Cult, and only elders or deities possess the special means to control vengeful spirits; it is beyond the reach of ordinary members.
The man in black initially intended to capture Xu Zhengyang directly, but quickly abandoned the idea. Just as the Sixth Elder had said, Xu Zhengyang's status was extraordinary; even the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire and Jing Hongchen had spoken, meaning they couldn't personally attack Xu Zhengyang.
That's why he thought of ways to make Xu Zhengyang lose his way.
"Come with me, the person you want to see is waiting for you."
After saying this, the man in black walked towards one of the passages, and Xu Zhengyang followed behind him. Now that they had come this far, Xu Zhengyang had no way to back down.
Moreover, as Electrolux said, the Holy Spirit Cult is full of vengeful spirits and evil aura, practically the embodiment of sin, but these are nothing in Electrolux's eyes. Now that the two are one, Electrolux will definitely continue to help when danger comes.
Soon, the two arrived at a relatively small hall, where a thin and gloomy person sat in the very center.
The man in black quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Sixth Master. The person has been brought here."
Although Zhang Peng was a little surprised by Xu Zhengyang's arrival, he still waved his hand and said, "You can go down now. I'll personally greet this interesting little friend."
The man in black bowed again and then left the hall alone, leaving only the so-called Sixth Master and Xu Zhengyang at the scene.
Zhang Peng looked at Xu Zhengyang with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but also with extreme disdain.
"Are you Xu Zhengyang, the top student of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy? I heard you want to see our Holy Maiden Tang Ya?"
Xu Zhengyang quickly said, "Greetings, Senior. I was on business with His Highness the Crown Prince and have something I'd like to discuss with the Tang Sect's leader."
Tang Ya.
Zhang Peng smiled and said, "You're quite well-informed, knowing that Tang Ya has joined our Holy Spirit Cult. But do you know that now that Tang Ya has joined our Holy Spirit Cult, both she and her belongings belong to our Holy Spirit Cult? Our Holy Spirit Cult's things aren't so easily coveted."
Xu Zhengyang was speechless upon hearing this. If the Holy Spirit Cult really valued Tang Ya so much, then why hadn't the Holy Spirit Cult Tang Sect Secret Arts fallen into their hands? If these experts of the Holy Spirit Cult had learned the Mysterious Heaven Technique, who knows what the outcome would have been?
It should be understood that the Mysterious Heaven Technique is a truly top-tier Daoist technique, encompassing all aspects and naturally restraining such evil spirits. However, if the Holy Spirit Cult Sect were to actually learn the Mysterious Heaven Technique, it is unknown what form it would take, or whether there would be any other changes.
"Senior, I greatly admire the glory of the Tang Sect in its heyday, especially its Hidden Weapon, which were unparalleled in the world. Although they have declined now, I still feel that those Hidden Weapon have their merits. If the forging methods of Hidden Weapon were incorporated into Soul Tool, it might further enhance the performance of Soul Tool, and could even become one of the biggest reforms in the history of Soul Tool."
Zhang Peng pondered for a moment, " Hidden Weapon? Although they're an obsolete technology, they were indeed very famous back then. The Tang Sect's influence was certainly no less than Shrek Academy's. No wonder you're interested."
"However, I have a small question. Logically speaking, with your mere Soul Ancestor strength, you shouldn't be able to enter my Holy Spirit Cult, nor should you be able to cross the steps I set up. How did you deal with those vengeful spirits?"
Xu Zhengyang looked conflicted, as if he was having trouble speaking.
Zhang Peng smirked. "Heh heh, you've come all the way to my Holy Spirit Cult and displayed such special methods, so then you say..."
"Now that you have a way to deal with vengeful spirits, do you really think you can leave so easily?"
At this moment, Zhang Peng displayed an extremely evil and terrifying aura. Especially as Titled Douluo powerhouse, Xu Zhengyang felt as if his body and soul had been crushed in an instant, as if he were drowning and had no power to resist at all.
Xu Zhengyang swallowed hard. "Senior, this matter involves some of my secrets. It might sound unbelievable, and it might even overturn your understanding."
Zhang Peng waved his hand. "The most mysterious and unpredictable thing in the world is our Holy Spirit Cult. Your little secrets are nothing to us, but I will not allow anyone to have the means to control vengeful spirits. You should know that such means pose a great threat to our Holy Spirit Cult."
"If you don't talk, I have plenty of ways to make you talk, and then you can forget about leaving the Holy Spirit Cult."
Xu Zhengyang appeared trembling with fear. "Senior, the reason I was able to pass through the Stairway of Vengeful Spirits is because of the special nature of my Martial Soul, and because I myself was once cursed. Curses seem to be somewhat similar to vengeful spirits, yet also somewhat incompatible."
Zhang Peng's expression changed slightly. " Your Martial Soul is cursed?"
After speaking, Zhang Peng waved his hand slightly, Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear in Xu Zhengyang's hand seemed to be affected by an irresistible force, flying directly into Zhang Peng's hand.
