Super Open-Source Technique
"So that's one of your tricks."
This Source Energy Demon Army Imprint appears to be a method intended for use in conjunction with the puppet production line.
Spirit Body Puppet need to capture spirits and carefully process them. Once trained, their power comes from the Spirit Body itself, but they have to rely on themselves to recover from the losses in great battles. Even when they devour human souls and essence, it only acts as a tonic and cannot always fully restore their power.
Physical puppets either rely on Spirit Body residing within them, or require considerable effort to create an internal energy source.
The technology involved in creating the built-in energy source is certainly incomparable to that of other components, and the materials required are also much more precious.
This is arguably the biggest challenge in creating physical puppets, and it will definitely slow down production efficiency significantly.
Furthermore, the internal energy consumption during combat, if replenished, would be a very troublesome matter for the Flame Demon Clan, which does not yet have much territory in reality.
The Source Energy Demon Army Imprint, capable of sensing remotely and continuously drawing upon volcanic energy, solves the biggest challenge.
Engraving a brand is definitely much simpler than producing built-in energy.
Chu Tianshu carefully examined the other Evil Spirit spirits and found that none of them particularly appealed to him.
Since that's the case, he'd like to see what the Source Energy Demon Army Imprint, combined with his own manuscript, will deduce.
[----Selected cultivation material---- Evil Spirit characteristics selected, currently being refined.]
The simulation has been completed.
The Great Void Heavenly Silkworm General Principles.
Heaven and Earth roam the vast void, absorbing dust and stones, without distinction of gold, iron, ice, lightning, or stardust, accepting all who come to strengthen themselves. Following the principles of Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams, they differentiate and decompose, expanding the diet of all living beings, ensuring endless life.
Although the silkworm is small, bathed in the light and flame of the vast void, it can learn to move with the heavens and earth, eat all kinds of food, combine the power of a hundred spirits, transcend shackles like a butterfly, and move with the strength of a dragon.
Once this skill is mastered to a minor degree, one can shift the dantian (lower abdomen). With a shift in the dantian, the meridians will change, and even if the body is temporarily damaged, it will not diminish one's combat power.
Furthermore, it can refine the intangible Seven Souls into concrete imprints, which are then stored within the physical body, serving as the effect of the seven dantian.
With the seven major dantians plus the Qihai dantian, there is a circulation of the eight trigrams, which can absorb and expel the vast emptiness, thus increasing efficacy. Internally, it can digest all kinds of qi, and externally, it can dissipate all kinds of phenomena.
After mastering this skill, Triple Leakless, Returning Light and Rebirth, transcends the physical body to become immortal, heals wounds through healing, absorbs the vast emptiness, and transcends the mortal realm to become a saint.
This is what is meant by "strength forging the spirit, vast and boundless, refining and uniting the eight seas, freely drinking from the great wilderness!"
Chu Tianshu's manuscript already incorporated all his insights accumulated in the cultivation of essence, energy, and spirit.
Because he had established logic in the dream of the evil brother and honed his talent for Myriad Evils Refine Forms, his manuscripts naturally also mentioned some arguments for transforming the formless into the form.
However, it can be specific enough to transform a person's Seven Souls into a tangible imprint, which can be used to open up a new source of power in the dantian.
This was clearly due to the great contribution of the Evil Spirit spirits, primarily the Mountain Fire Demon Envoy.
"The connection between the three souls Seven Souls is the most mysterious. Although the three souls are the soul and the Seven Souls are the body's functions, they complement each other."
Chu Tianshu smiled broadly as he absorbed the new cultivation technique into his mind.
"Therefore, the process of condensing the Seven Souls into concrete imprints and opening the dantian is also a continuous tempering of the mind and soul."
"The moment all Seven Souls are forged will be the moment my heart and soul transform into the martial Primordial Spirit, and I will have completely achieved the third level of Triple Leakless."
Although he originally knew how to continue pursuing the Triple Leakless, it was only a vague direction.
This set of techniques has now directly helped him define seven clear road signs for this vague path.
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
Amidst the laughter, Chu Tianshu drew his long sword from his waist again, slashing it across the stone steps before turning and leaping away.
The sword's energy reverberated continuously within the mountain.
After he had walked far away, a deep crack, about half a foot wide, suddenly appeared on the stone steps, leading straight to the top of the mountain.
The old shrine on the mountain was originally just missing a roof.
As the crack pierced through the stone statue, it struck the base of the statue and suddenly three long trenches split open around it, tearing from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain, and cleaving apart the houses along the way.
After all four cracks had formed, the statue on the mountaintop finally could not be maintained.
It was flat and neat, but it was split into four parts.
The followers of the God of Bear Peak have been operating here for far too long. For thousands of years, they have never been destroyed, never needed to relocate, and never had their incense offerings interrupted.
In the future, as the energies of the two realms further intersect...
This small mountain could probably become an incarnation of the God of Bear Peak.
However, before that day even arrived, the mountain had already encountered the "Sever Mountains and Extinguish Waters Mountain Collapse Divine Sword."
The Mountain Collapse that day became a legendary tale in Tokyo.
However, compared to what happened in the Mount Fuji Mountains on the same day, what happened here seems less noteworthy.
When Chu Tianshu returned to the Mount Fuji area, tens of thousands of Americas ghosts were still ravaging the mountainous region.
The enemy was no longer able to mount an effective resistance; all that remained were corpses, ruins, and thick smoke.
Some of the sorcerer monks and demon-slaying warriors possessed remarkably resilient souls. Even after being struck half-dead by Spirit Body bullets, they could still manifest themselves around the corpses, wandering aimlessly.
It seems that as long as they don't get hit by another burst of bullets, these spirits can hold out on their own for at least a quarter of an hour or two.
The Americas gentry, carrying Soul-Summoning Banner, was overjoyed at the sight.
"My God, there's an unexpected bonus!"
At this moment, the Americas gentleman's traditional kindness resurfaced, and he once again considered adopting the dead dog.
Jon stood on the other side of the crater, looked back, saw this scene, raised an eyebrow, and a smile of amusement appeared on his lips.
Before the Americas gentry could even get close, Adams waved his Soul-Summoning Banner from afar.
Streaks of eerie blue flame shot towards them.
They directly ignited and burned the souls of the sorcerer monk and the warrior.
"Wake up, all of you!"
Adams floated in mid-air, looking around, and used the Mind Power to transmit his voice from afar.
"Putting aside the fact that these guys are followers of an evil god and might pose a threat, do you think Chu Tianshu would want to see these guys still alive? Even if they're just living on the banner."
"Don't test his magnanimity in this kind of thing; it won't do you any good."
Upon hearing this, everyone became alert.
Those members who closely followed Anthony and Tang Rongfa showed no mercy and were clearly tearing the souls apart.
Those bastards, they didn't even warn us.
Jon, standing in the crater, showed a hint of regret.
A gentle breeze suddenly arose, and he became alert, turning his head to see that Chu Tianshu had indeed arrived on his left.
Besides Jon, there is also Chen Taozhi's martial arts mecha here, and under the mecha's rear is a humanoid metal skeleton sitting.
"This is----"
Chu Tianshu examined it for a few seconds, "A miniature Gomorrah?"
"Yes, that thing just flew out of the lava and rushed down the mountain, it seemed to be shouting this word over and over."
Chen Taozhi quickly stood up, patted her bottom, and said, "I couldn't handle him by myself; it was all thanks to General Jon's help."
Chen Taozhi patted the buttocks, just a habitual action, but the metal hand actually knocked off some debris and charcoal when it slapped the mecha's rear.
At a glance, Chu Tianshu noticed that the mecha had multiple burn marks, and the metal was melted and deformed.
Even with the special alloy and the infusion of External Elixir and internal energy, it couldn't withstand the burning poisonous fire.
No wonder Chen Taozhi is sitting here; it seems this mecha is no longer capable of being used in combat.
In contrast, the humanoid metal skeleton on the ground only had a dented head; the rest of it remained brightly lit.
The materials used to forge this puppet are absolutely extraordinary.
This is actually Xiade's Rhino Warrior.
Originally, Xiade was in the volcano intending to create a physical body for the Rhino Warrior to enhance its combat power and better deal with Chu Tianshu.
As a result, the Rhino Warrior's Spirit Body has become deeply intertwined with its physical body, making it difficult to separate in the short term.
When Chu Tianshu finally arrived, Xiade realized he was no match for him, so he had to escape in Spirit Body form, leaving the rhinoceros warrior in the lava.
He never expected that even while escaping deep underground along the magma veins, he could still be tracked down.
After all, the intelligence reports about Chu Tianshu's third eye only mentioned extremely strong mental interference and soul impact.
Little did they know how powerful the detection capabilities of the Great Void Heavenly Eye combined with the Mountain Collapse Combat Calculation would be when Chu Tianshu used it.
Abandoning the puppet and fleeing to Bear Mountain was just another example of Chu Tianshu eliminating a malignant tumor.
Jon was very polite and didn't try to win the right to study the puppet.
Firstly, there are still many Flame Demon forces active in the Americas, and they may well obtain similar puppets in the future.
Secondly, the Americas have now made up their minds to delve deeper into the secrets of contracts and the art of banners, and their desire to study mechs is no longer so urgent.
Chu Tianshu saw through Jon's mindset and turned to look at the Americas Ghost in the mountains.
The ghosts are now leaping around like monkeys, vying to absorb the corpse energy, resentment, and yin energy of their newly deceased enemies.
When they first descended from the sky, they appeared to be a formidable force, but now their formation and vigilance have vanished.
Americas, well, it doesn't matter if their military discipline is a little lacking, and it's normal for them to like taking drugs.
But ghosts are inherently dark, and if they don't learn to cultivate their character, the whole of Americas will become like this, which won't be good for humanity.
"Everyone did a great job this time, so I'll be giving out prizes. Jon, you get one too."
Chu Tianshu said, "How about a calming technique?"
Jon's expression shifted slightly. "Mr. Chu's words must be more than just ordinary calming techniques?"
Some high-ranking officials in the Americas are also worried that the Ghost becomes increasingly uncontrollable after each battle, and may eventually turn into Evil Spirit, easily triggering the contract and being punished to death.
The ghosts' losses are their financial losses. In the past, when similar things happened, they could seek compensation from others, but now that they've been punished to death by their own country's fate, they can't find anyone to claim compensation from.
Naturally, some people also want these ghosts to cultivate their minds, purify their yin energy, and dispel evil influences.
However, the methods of self-cultivation that the Audit Bureau found were not very effective when distributed.
These people couldn't cultivate their minds while they were alive, and no one ever asked them to. After death, their spiritual essence became even heavier, and they couldn't even reach the threshold of meditation.
"A formation specifically designed for ordinary soldiers to practice on their own, in order to cultivate a calm mind."
Chu Tianshu chuckled softly as he said those words.
I have to thank "The Heavenly Book of the Blood Dao" again.
The discipline of the Mongol Yuan cavalry's auxiliary troops was no better than that of these Americas ghosts. Even after Genghis Khan issued a decree to stop the killing in his later years, he soon died of illness and could not control those scoundrels.
Kublai Khan invited Phagspa and Changchun Zi to jointly create this set of military tactics and meditation formations, originally intending to train the auxiliary troops into elite soldiers, which was indeed effective at first.
However, while this formation can help calm the mind and dispel malevolence, it cannot increase loyalty.
Kublai Khan's implementation of this formation resulted in a large number of his auxiliary troops being won over by several of his arch-enemies, so he simply abandoned the formation altogether.
But this time, the one who's going to implement the formation is a ghost who's already signed a contract, so it won't be so easy for him to switch jobs.
"General Jon, I have high hopes for Americas."
Chu Tianshu reached out and patted Jon on the shoulder, his tone carrying a sense of blessing.
Jon was bewildered to see that the young man's sincerity was genuine, and after much thought, he could only conclude that the young man was an excellent actor.
In fact, the reason why the Ghost Mother Clan was able to set up camp in the Mount Fuji Mountains in advance was probably because they had already made contact with the Flame Demon and realized that they had a lair in this area.
Then, recalling that when Yu Huangfen invited people from the Spirit Realm, some Flame Devil Race also attended the invitation, Chu Tianshu began to understand the situation.
Currently, the Divine Land is steadily promoting cultivation, improving mechs, advancing in Grotto-Heaven, and eradicating followers of evil gods. Everything is in order and cannot be easily shaken.
If the Ghost Mother Clan wants to interfere in the human world's affairs again, they only have a few entry points to choose from, which is not hard to guess.
However, it's hard to say exactly how much power the Ghost Mother Clan will wield. Judging from their past intrigues, there might not be any truly honest cooperation, but we still can't afford to be complacent.
Chu Tianshu naturally had to lend a hand to these Americas.
"That was awesome! So awesome!"
Zhang Daqiang's mecha muttered to itself as it walked up the mountain, accompanied by several helpers. Upon reaching the top, it saluted Chu Tianshu and Chen Taozhi.
"Commander, Captain, these are the martial artists who volunteered to assist us."
Luo Zhan and the others stepped forward and bowed in greeting.
