Chapter 73 The Long-Awaited Secret Technique
Chapter 73 The Long-Awaited Secret Technique
An hour passed, and Jiang Chen had read through all the cultivation techniques here.
Once cultivators can internally observe their sea of consciousness, they possess the ability to remember everything they see.
Then, Jiang Chen began to examine the spells.
Like cultivation techniques, these spells are mostly common types among independent cultivators and have little value.
However, there are also some pretty good spells in it.
Jiang Chen kept searching, trying to find spells that could attack with spiritual energy.
Even if the spells he saw were not of the spiritual attack type, he would record them one by one.
To deduce spells suitable for oneself in dreams in the future, one will need sufficient knowledge.
It's never a bad thing to write things down.
The number of spells in the Transmission of Skills Department far exceeds the number of cultivation techniques. He spent two full hours looking through it, and only managed to browse about half of it.
At this moment, he received a jade slip, on which were written the five large characters: 【Nightmare Bewitching Technique】.
Upon seeing the name, Jiang Chen immediately became excited.
"Judging from the name, this spell is definitely related to divine sense; it should be a type of illusion spell."
He immediately probed the jade slip with his divine sense to examine its contents.
After getting familiar with it, he opened his eyes, his face full of joy: "I knew I was right, this is a really good thing, and it's the secret technique I've been dreaming of."
With this thing, I can gain even more benefits when I simulate the future in my dreams.
This spell is quite simple: it allows one to enter another person's dream and influence its development, thereby obtaining the target's secrets.
When this technique is mastered to a high level, it can even alter the target's memories through dreams, thereby influencing their mindset and turning them into the caster's puppet.
Besides the secret technique itself, the jade slip also contained information about its origins and limitations.
This secret technique was obtained by Master Yuanfu from a disciple of the Nightmare Demon Sect when he was resisting the invasion of the Demon Sect at Changyuan Mountain.
To be precise, he obtained it by capturing a Qi Refining disciple of the Nightmare Demon Sect of considerable status and conducting a soul search on him.
For this reason, this spell is incomplete, only containing the part for the Qi Refining stage.
Moreover, this spell also has a matching cultivation method. Only by practicing the method can the full power of this secret technique be unleashed.
Unfortunately, that disciple had a soul restriction in his sea of consciousness.
When Master Yuanfu searched the soul, he used his own power to suppress the soul restriction.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have even obtained the Nightmare Bewitching Technique.
Unfortunately, after obtaining this spell, he tried to find out the cultivation method and more information, but the soul restriction erupted, directly annihilating the soul of the Nightmare Demon Sect disciple.
After obtaining this spell, he attempted to cultivate it on his own. Although he managed to cultivate it successfully with the powerful comprehension ability of his Core Formation realm, its power was extremely weak.
The powerful technique used by a Core Formation cultivator could only affect Qi Refining cultivators, and was completely ineffective against Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Afterwards, he had several Qi Refining cultivators from the Talisman Hall with strong spiritual senses practice this spell.
However, these people either couldn't even get started, or they barely managed to get started, and afterwards they became mentally unstable, or even had a tendency to go into a state of demonic possession.
The experiences of Master Yuanfu and his other disciples in cultivating this spell, as well as the situations they encountered during the cultivation, were all recorded in the jade slip.
Master Yuanfu estimated that for a cultivator to truly master this spell and unleash its full power, they either need to obtain the matching cultivation method or be naturally extremely compatible with it.
He also warned his younger disciples that if they did not meet these two conditions, they should not easily attempt to cultivate this spell.
Not only is it time-consuming, but it could also cause problems during the refining process.
After reading the contents, Jiang Chen was immediately in a great mood.
"Isn't that me, someone naturally suited to this magic? The nascent form of my true essence is related to dreams, and now, each time I enter a dream, my cultivation level slightly improves."
"Moreover, I have the Dream Butterfly Diagram, so I can cultivate it while in a dream, which saves time and won't harm me."
"If I could switch to a cultivation technique related to dreams, and combine it with this spell, its power would surely reach an even higher level."
Although he was excited, Jiang Chen did not rush back to cultivate, but continued to examine the other spells in the stone building.
It took another hour or so to memorize all the spells.
Although most of the spells in the stone building were of ordinary quality, Jiang Chen still managed to find some good ones.
Besides the Nightmare Bewitching Technique, he also found a secret technique of divine sense.
This secret technique is called the "Soul Suppression Technique." When this technique is used, one can instantly release a divine sense pressure far exceeding one's own level, causing the opponent to fall into a state of disorientation.
"This secret technique is quite effective against black-blooded mosquitoes, but I already have a bewitching talisman, so I can't use this method for now."
He had memorized all the techniques and spells by then, and the sun was already setting.
Jiang Chen immediately walked out of the stone building and headed towards the residential area.
Just as they reached the door, the old man dozing in the recliner spoke up: "Young man, remember not to bite off more than you can chew. Especially the [Nightmare Bewitching Mind Technique], not everyone can master it, so don't force it."
Jiang Chen bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will keep it in mind."
The old man lay on the recliner, seemingly asleep again.
Jiang Chen didn't disturb them any further, but went straight back to his residence at No. 16, Jia.
Upon entering the courtyard, he immediately activated the courtyard's array.
Then they went to the training room in the backyard. The outside of the training room was unremarkable, but the inside was truly extraordinary.
The interior walls are not made of ordinary brick or stone, but of black iron.
Upon closer inspection, there are also artifact patterns and restrictions such as [Diamond] and [Iron Armor] that increase strength.
He casually conjured a small golden sword and struck the wall.
ding~~
With a crisp sound, the golden sword vanished without a trace, leaving the wall completely undamaged.
"Good heavens, the Talisman Hall is indeed wealthy and powerful. This training room is actually a large magic artifact. It's really not simple."
"To withstand my Golden Sword Technique unscathed must require a second-grade magic weapon."
Although he possessed Zhang Laokou's weapon-refining inheritance, his own weapon-refining skills were only at the level of a "talking king".
Therefore, he did not delve into the levels of the training room.
He found a futon, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate the [Nightmare Bewitching Mind Technique].
To cultivate this method, one must use their divine sense to outline a Nightmare Demon Mark and completely control it.
If one manages to form a Nightmare Demon Mark but is unable to control it, their mind will be affected, and they risk going mad.
When this technique is used, the Nightmare Demon Mark is unleashed to attack the opponent.
He immersed his mind in his sea of consciousness, where his soul was meditating cross-legged in the darkness.
Around the soul, a faint blue light constantly flowed, occasionally condensing into the phantom of a butterfly, which would quickly disperse again. This was the nascent form of Jiang Chen's true essence.
Wisps of gray mist drifted out from the almost transparent soul, slowly outlining intricate patterns before its eyes.
The mark resembles a talisman or a ghostly image.
Jiang Chen's spiritual sense was comparable to that of a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, so condensing the Nightmare Demon Mark was not difficult for him.
In just two hours, the mark had taken shape.
Suddenly, the Nightmare Mark seemed to come alive, transforming into a ghostly phantom, its entire body emanating bursts of black energy.
