Chapter 596
Chapter 596
The Tower of Knowledge, the empty fifty-ninth floor.
Rows of bookshelves that were more than ten meters tall were neatly arranged, filled with books.
“Ta ta ta ta…”
Tang Yu strolled through the bookshelves, his gaze sweeping over them.
The Tower of Knowledge stored most of the books that were collected from the Holy City. The accumulation of countless years in the Glorious Era of the Origin Star alone was countless. Even if it were forjust a part of it, it had created this tower that contained endless knowledge.
It was a place that many foreign Awakened ones, major powers, and even the upper echelons of the Holy Land coveted.
The Chief Elder of the Alliance of Mages, Ordinan, had not even returned to the small town of the Alliance of Mages because of the existence of the Tower of Knowledge. He had thrown himself into the embrace of knowledge.
Even though he had calculated it, it was impossible for him to know all the contents of the books, documents, and blueprints in the tower.
At this time, he was in the area where books related to the ‘soul’ were stored.
The ‘soul’ was not mysterious in the eyes of scholars in the Second Epoch of the Origin Star. For example, a Second Order Transcendent who broke through in the path of spirit could achieve the ‘soul leaving the body’. Apart from the backup or avatar that remained, even if the head was cut off and the heart was pierced through, one could still continue to live in the form of a spirit – provided that the spirit could escape.
After Tang Yu broke through to the Second Order, he could easily leave the body. This was like instinct, but he rarely did so without the protection of the body. It was too fragile.
However, the Second Epoch’s research on the soul was too rich, and it troubled him.
As far as the eye could see, it was full of books about the ‘soul’, and even the name of the book was similar.
There were too many, too many things like “research of the soul and the gender of the body”, “two or three things about the soul that you don’t know”, and “the possibility of a spirit peeping”, etc..
The spiritual force transformed into dozens of large hands, and a batch of thick books flew down from the bookshelf that was more than ten meters high. They stopped in front of him and flipped open with a whoosh.
Soon, they closed and flew back to the bookshelf. New books floated steadily over under the control of spiritual force.
Tang Yu’s eyes flashed quickly, and his brows gradually furrowed.
“There are no books on ‘soul force’…”
the term ‘soul force’.
There were quite a few of them, but the symbol was the strength of ‘soul force’, not the soul force he was looking for to absorb.
Tang Yu tapped his finger on his forehead and fell into deep thought.
That’s true. If killing a demonic beast can obtain a’ soul force ‘that can quickly increase one’s strength, then it should be a well-known piece of information. It can’t be hidden…
Unless. He thought of two possibilities. Either ‘soul force’ is a product that only appears in the Fifth Epoch, or it is the early development of the Origin Star. Hunting beasts can also obtain ‘soul force’, but it disappeared later.
Tang Yu rubbed his chin. He was more inclined to the former. After all, the latter should have left some traces.
Soul Force… It had the greatest effect on low level awakened ones, and during the early period of the apocalypse, it happened to be the time when the gap between humans and demonic beasts was the greatest… It was the existence of ‘Soul Force’ that helped humans improve quickly, allowing humans to gain a foothold in the apocalypse.
Thinking from another perspective, if there was no ‘Soul Force’, just by cultivating, it would take at least a few months to advance from the first level of awakened to the fifth level of awakened. With high talent and sufficient resources… Not to mention the early period of the apocalypse, not many people had cultivation methods.
In that case, even if humanity did not go extinct, I’m afraid… there would not be many left.
Perhaps it was a backup plan set up by the Sage, or the self-protection method of the Star of Origin… But now, the disappearance of the soul force is a foregone conclusion.
He wanted to find a way to restore the ‘soul force’, but now…
Tang Yu shook his head and waved his hand. A dozen books flew back to their original positions.
Suddenly, his gaze focused on a book with the words ‘Soul Descent’ written on it. His interest was piqued. With a wave of his hand, a book as thick as a brick flew over.
The thick leather paper was flipped open, and there were runes, language, and patterns on it
They all revolved around a secret art.
Soul Descent!
It could descend on a corpse, and it could also be reborn through the body of a living person, but it had to have a soul that could crush the other party.
“So that’s how it is…”
There were also many things in the book that needed to be paid attention to in the path of spirit. Tang Yu gradually understood.
The essence of a human was the soul.
The reason why he could be reborn through the path of the physical body was because his soul information had already been integrated into every cell in his body, and every cell could become a whole.
When it came to the path of the mind, the soul had already been integrated into the mind, which was why the mind had an imperishable characteristic. The ‘Indestructible God’ that was divided by the mind was actually the ‘Divided Soul’.
He had also tried to merge a wisp of his subsoul into a foreign race corpse and make it his avatar. However, the moment the ‘Divided Soul’ entered, he felt a strange and repulsive feeling.
Tang Yu had not paid much attention to it at first and thought that it was because he had mysophobia. After all, he was not willing to let his sub-soul enter the foreign race corpse.
After reading the book, he realized that the posture he was in was not right.
Back then, that Mind Demon Realm expert had many clones. One of them was also a Domain Realm expert, and it was the corpse of a royal ancestor.
Taking the corpse of an expert was indeed a shortcut to quickly increase one’s strength.
However, the stronger the corpse, the greater the rejection. At this time, one needed to use some secret techniques to reduce the resistance when inserted.
Tang Yu flipped through the hardcover book, sometimes thinking, sometimes frowning.
The first part was mostly theory and foundation. When it came to the second part, it finally talked about the arrival of the soul, which could directly descend on a living person!
If I count a wisp of soul as a unit, then I have to at least cultivate to ‘ten’ units, and the strength of the main soul must be more than three points before I can use this secret art…
He had only cultivated three units now. Apart from himself, a wisp of soul was kept and a wisp was used on the avatar. It was far from enough to meet the requirements of using the soul descending secret art.
But it was very valuable for research.
Pa!
The book closed.
Tang Yu did not continue reading. He only studied it for a bit. Several minutes passed. He, who was immersed in learning, did not notice the passage of time.
Now was not the time for research.
When he returned to the castle, a member of the personal guards presented the news that had gathered from all over the world.
The situation where the soul force had subsided continued to ferment. Tang Yu frowned even more deeply.
Tree Shade and a few other territories are not affected much. Come on, come on, come on! The business of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo in many places has increased a lot because of this, but the other human shelters…
His eyes were no longer limited to the ground. Without soul force, many shelters that could only barely resist the Mana Tide would become more and more dangerous.
“How about this?” He called over Luo Zhe, Chen Haiping, and the other higher-ups, and said, “Find a widely used basic cultivation method and spread it out, so that most of the awakened can improve their strength through cultivation, and create one if there is no suitable one.”
After a discussion, Luo Zhe proposed a non-attribute cultivation method called the Qi Gathering Method, which was easy to learn and suitable for most people to practice.
At this time,
“Ding Dong!”
There was a soft sound in his mind.
It was some important information prompt that he had set up.
