Volume 2: Entering the Ghost Feast by Mistake Section 95: Gathering Souls
"Soul Gathering Array?" Zhang Su repeated.
"Well, the premise of the exorcism seal is to be able to make full use of soul power other than oneself, so the basis of the exorcist is to gather those soul dust that have not been refined and use it directly, and this technique is called the soul gathering array by the exorcist." Song Yibing said.
"In other words, you have to gather the soul dust together before you drive the scattered soul dust, right? Or are they clustered within a certain range of space? Zhang Su asked.
"That's right, that's what it means, the soul gathering array is a formation that condenses the soul dust together, only when the soul dust gathers to a certain density, and then uses the seal method and soul power to control the soul dust to transform into a soul exorcism array, so that the exorcist can be regarded as a successful soul exorcism array." Song Yibing nodded.
I heard that it was a means of gathering soul dust, Zhang Su immediately remembered the soul building room of the Heavenly Soul Castle, and I heard that the soul building room can also gather soul dust after special transformation, which must be similar to this soul gathering array, and it is even very likely that it was learned from the exorcist, but Zhang Su did not inform Song Yibing of this kind of thing, because from the process of talking to Song Yibing, Zhang Su could feel that Song Yibing had a deep rejection of the soul master faction.
"How do you gather soul dust?" Zhang Su continued to ask.
"Use soul power to draw and seal the prison, and the soul dust that enters the prison will be bound, compressed, and condensed by the soul power, forming a density difference with the outside world, in this way, you can use the density difference between the prison and the outside of the prison to continuously absorb the soul dust outside the prison into the prison, this 'prison' is the soul gathering array, how much can it be absorbed, it depends on the compression ability of the soul dust you draw this 'prison', the more soul dust gathered by the soul gathering array, the greater the density will be, and the power of the soul exorcism array will be stronger if you use it again." Song Yibing explained.
"Can I understand that every time the exorcist releases the formation, he must first use the soul gathering array to collect the soul dust, use his soul power and array seals to condense the soul dust that has been collected, and then arrange the soul dust condensation gathered together to form a powerful formation, the technique of the formation determines the function of the formation, and the power of the formation is determined by the concentration of the soul dust in the soul gathering array." Zhang Su expressed his understanding.
"Yes, yes, that's what it means, you're smart, you can understand a little bit." Song Yibing praised Zhang Yibing's explanation.
"It's Uncle Song's metaphor that is too vivid, so I can understand it so quickly, and when I first entered the soul master realm, I learned two soul skills similar to formations, although I can use my own soul power to condense them, but I can't always exert their true power, I just listened to Uncle Song After talking about it, I was a little surprised, and I felt that my formation soul skills were not orthodox." Zhang Su smiled and scratched his head.
"Soul Formation Technique?" Song Yibing asked puzzled.
"Well, I will have a Formation Soul Skill called the Three Qing Array and a Formation Soul Skill called the Four Elephant Lock Immortal Array, and I'll show it to you now." Zhang Su said, condensing soul power to show these two array soul skills, the Sanqing Array had a pre-reserved soul talisman, so it was directly taken out of the soul, and the Four Elephant Lock Immortal Array needed to be condensed with soul power on the spot, and Zhang Su also temporarily condensed a shape.
"The soul talisman of the Sanqing array you said is not the means of our exorcists, but a kind of talisman of the talisman formation, the blue and translucent talisman on it has the characteristics of the talisman drawing talisman from the shape or from the texture, I have not heard of the so-called Sanqing Array, but I have seen the talisman draw talisman, and I know some fur about the talisman, there are two divisions of the talisman, which are divided into white, black and blue according to the function, white is the royal talisman, black is the battle talisman, and blue is the array talisman; The other is divided according to the power of the talisman, which can be divided into three levels: heaven, earth, and man, and there are three levels of low, medium and high among the three levels, the strongest in the heavenly level, and the weakest in the human level. Song Yibing looked at Zhang Su's Sanqing array and analyzed.
"Uncle Song, you are really well-informed, so where did my Four Elephant Lock Immortal Array come from." Zhang Su knew the origin of the Sanqing Array, and his heart brightened a lot, and then pointed to the Four Elephant Lock Immortal Array and continued to ask.
"This Four Elephant Lock Immortal Array is indeed the soul array of our soul exorcist, and it should have flowed into your soul hunting company from the hands of the exorcist, but in the case of not knowing the basic soul gathering array, even if you cultivate the four elephant lock immortal array, it is as weak as a chicken, if the soul master only uses his own soul power to cast this four elephant lock immortal array, it is not even one-tenth of the power of this soul array, and the four elephant lock immortal array is a good beast soul array." Song Yibing explained.
"Beast Soul Array?" Zhang asked puzzled.
"There are five categories of exorcist exorcist arrays, human soul array, beast soul array, ghost soul array, immortal soul array and realm king array, as the name suggests, the human soul array is a formation that specializes in dealing with people or soul masters; The Beast Soul Array is a formation used by the ancients to deal with the soul with the characteristics of imitation beasts, and the Four Elephant Lock Immortal Array is one of the Beast Soul Arrays, which is mainly controlled; The ghost array is a formation that uses great power to deal with ghosts, for example, my patio exorcism array belongs to the ghost array; The Immortal Soul Array is the name of some extremely powerful formations, once used, it can allow the exorcist to call the wind and rain in the array, and escape to the heavens and the earth, just like the gods, so it is called the Immortal Soul Array; In addition to the above four categories, there is also a kind of realm king array, it is said that after the layout, you can directly change the sky and change the formation, changing the normal operation of the world, of course, this is just a legend, whether there is a realm king array or a mystery, I don't know as an exorcist. Song Yibing continued to explain.
"I didn't expect that my two methods are actually from a talisman master and an exorcist, and they are not the orthodox methods of soul masters." Zhang Su said in surprise.
"As soon as you said this, I found out that although you are a soul master, you have a very miscellaneous technique, including the soul skill of the soul master, the three clear talismans of the talisman master, the four elephant lock immortal array of the exorcist, and the soul of the soul detainer, although the soul master faction absorbs and integrates many exorcists from other factions, but it is not easy to collect and gather the means of so many different schools into one person, you can be regarded as a ghost." Song Yibing exclaimed.
"I don't know what's going on, anyway, I just feel the need or practice it, I thought it was all the soul master's soul skills." Zhang Su smiled helplessly.
"I just saw your soul core soul technique, which means that you have become a powerful soul master, the three clear talismans should be a high-level blue talisman, which is a rare and superb among the talismans, although you don't know how to use it yet, but it also shows that your luck is not bad, the Four Elephant Lock Immortal Array is the best in the beast soul array, and then I will teach you the soul gathering array, you will also soar on the road of the exorcist, plus you will also detain the spirit man's secret technique Tablet Soul Tuo, I feel that you are very likely to enter the legendary realm." Song Yibing said thoughtfully.
"Legendary realm?" Zhang asked puzzled.
"Well, the Legendary Realm, of course, different exorcists have different names, exorcists call it the Legendary Realm, many factions call it the Creation Realm, the soul master likes to call it the Source Heaven Realm, and the people who reach that realm have a collective name called 'Source Heaven Soul Master'." Song Yibing nodded.
"Source Heavenly Soul Master?" Zhang Su looked at Song Yibing in shock.
"This is from what my ancestors said, saying that the highest realm of a ghost exorcist is to reach the legendary realm, the creation realm or the source heaven realm, and the exorcists who enter that realm are collectively called the source heaven soul master, the source heaven soul master is the highest desire of all ghost exorcists, similar to the mythical story of becoming an immortal, I originally only regarded this thing as a legend, but now I see you practicing so many sects of techniques alone, I suddenly remembered that legend." Song Yibing looked around at Zhang Su and explained.
At this time, Zhang Su no longer had the heart to listen to what Song Yibing said, he was now thinking about the Yuantian rumors he had heard before, he secretly put his hand in his pocket, rubbing the Yuantian Soul Jade, he was the one who really knew the existence of the Yuantian Soul Master, but he didn't dare to tell anyone, he remembered the hint of Nuwa's remnant soul, and was cautious for fear of causing death, so after a while, Zhang Su came back to his senses again, and said to Song Yibing with a soothing expression: "Uncle Song, that realm is too far away, I dare not think about it, It's not too early, so you'd better hand over the Soul Gathering Array to me first. ”
"Okay, the soul gathering array is very simple, use spiritual sense to control, use your fingertips to release soul power, draw a sphere framework between heaven and earth, use soul power to isolate the space in it, compress the soul dust in it, and then open the passage on the ball after the density difference between the inside and outside, and the soul dust will flow into the ball because of the density, so it's fine......" Song Yibing explained while demonstrating with his hands.
Song Yibing quickly drew a spherical space frame in front of him with his hand, and sealed the sphere with soul power, leaving only dense holes on the surface of the sphere, the holes opened and closed regularly like the gills of a fish, and the soul dust from the outside world also entered in waves inside, and soon, Zhang Su sensed the huge soul power contained in that spherical space, giving people the feeling of a condensed nuclear bomb, even if it was not transformed into a soul exorcism array, just detonating it would cause huge damage in the soul realm.
Zhang Su saw the whole process of Song Yibing's soul gathering array, and he also imitated it by drawing a gourd next to him, and he also learned to use his soul power to condense a hollow soul power ball, and concentrate on controlling his soul power ball, trying to open a hole like a fish gills at a certain distance on the ball, but it is easy to condense the soul power ball, but it is not easy to open the hole that opens and closes regularly.
Zhang Su could only barely control the opening and closing of one hole at first, and slowly could open two holes in the ball, and after about half an hour, Zhang Su only opened four holes in the soul power ball to absorb soul dust, and the powerful spiritual power consumption had already made Zhang Su sweat, and the beads of sweat the size of the bean kept slipping down from between his eyebrows and eyes, and finally hit the ground.
"Focus but don't be nervous, you imagine the soul gathering array as a fish, and the small holes on the soul gathering array as fish gills, the opening and closing of the small holes and the opening and closing of the gills are the same principle, in addition to supplying oxygen to the fish, the opening and closing of the gills can also help the fish use the pressure difference between the body and the outside to generate power in the water, you can cultivate separately from the two aspects of opening and closing." Song Yibing suggested.
Zhang Su listened to Song Yibing's opinion, held his breath and contemplated the condensed orb Soul Gathering Array as a living breathing fish, he no longer used his spiritual sense to restrain the Soul Gathering Array, but let the Soul Gathering Array freely absorb the surrounding soul dust, and only used soul power to condense and compress the soul dust inhaled into the Soul Gathering Array, so as to degrade the soul dust in the Soul Exorcism Array and ensure that the outside soul dust can continuously enter the Soul Gathering Array.
A moment later, because the Soul Gathering Array Sphere absorbed the soul power too quickly, reaching the limit that Zhang Su's soul power could control, the Soul Gathering Array exploded in front of Zhang Su's body, because Zhang Su's soul had been in the body space, so the explosion did not hurt Zhang Su's soul.
"Very good, in terms of absorbing soul dust, you have found your current limit, 'open' can be regarded as a beginner, and the next step is to practice the skill of 'he', 'he' is like the power stroke of a car engine, every time you absorb a round of soul dust, you will see a work stroke, after absorption, you must block the soul dust channel on the ball, and then use your soul power to squeeze and condense the soul dust in the ball, and then open the soul dust channel on the ball after condensing, so that you can achieve repeated phased absorption, and if the control is in place, it will not lead to the explosion of the soul gathering array." Song Yibing continued to prompt.
Zhang Su nodded, he once again used the soul power seal in the air to condense the ball soul gathering array, and then opened a small hole on the soul gathering array to absorb the soul dust, each time after absorbing a full sphere soul dust, Zhang Su closed the small hole on the sphere, and after the soul dust in the sphere was completely condensed, Zhang Su opened the small hole again, just like that, wave after wave of cycles, Zhang Su gradually mastered the law of opening and closing the small hole.
"Yes, there has been a lot of progress, but the opening and closing of a small hole is still insufficient in terms of the efficiency of gathering soul dust, so you have to try to add more small holes on the soul gathering array, so that you can increase the efficiency of the soul gathering array, and then you will try to open more soul dust channels according to the method just now, only when the efficiency of dust gathering is improved, the soul gathering array can condense more soul dust in a short time, and you can instantly release a more powerful soul array." Song Yibing taught earnestly, guiding Zhang Su's cultivation step by step.
Now that he knew the cultivation method of the Soul Gathering Array, Zhang Su turned on the mode of focusing on penance, and after an hour, Zhang Su finally opened eight small holes on the Soul Gathering Array that could regularly open and close to absorb soul dust, and the power of the soul dust condensed in a short period of time was already comparable to that of a junior soul master, Zhang Su knew that this was already the limit of what he could control at present.
"Your talent is not bad, you can condense this dose of soul dust so quickly, and it is very promising on the path of an exorcist." Song Yibing also knew that Zhang Su's control of the Soul Gathering Array had reached its limit, and praised him.
"Uncle Song said with a smile, it took me a long time to open eight soul dust passages on the soul gathering array, and the soul dust soul power gathered is only equivalent to a junior great soul master, and it is still early to be able to set up a soul array." Zhang Su responded very self-knowingly.
"You are a monk halfway, it is not bad to be able to do this, and the soul dust gathered by the soul gathering array cannot be judged by the size of the soul power alone, don't forget that the soul dust condensation density also has a bonus to the power of the soul array, don't you know how to lock the immortal array with four elephants? Now try to set up the formation based on the soul power in the soul gathering array, so that you can accurately judge the power of the soul array you cast. Song Yibing suggested.
Zhang Su's arm waved at the array seal, and the seal disappeared, and a small soul array emitting golden light was dazzling in front of Zhang Su, and then the golden light slowly faded, leaving only a few circles of silent light The light of light was constantly rotating, and there was no big difference in appearance from the Four Elephant Lock Immortal Array condensed by Zhang Su's own soul power, the only difference was that the Four Elephant Lock Immortal Array at this time was faintly with the sound of elephant chime.
"The Four Elephant Arrays you are using now are twice as strong as those condensed with the soul power in your body." Song Yibing judged.
"How so? I'm an intermediate soul king, and the soul power contained in the soul gathering array is only comparable to that of a junior great soul master, and the Four Elephant Lock Immortal Array that I condensed with a large amount of my own soul power is actually not as strong as the formation condensed with a small amount of soul dust in the soul gathering array? What is the reason for this? Zhang asked Song Yibing puzzled.
"This is normal, the soul array is a move designed by the exorcist for condensing soul dust, although your soul power is more, but the soul power density is insufficient, so you can't exert the power of the formation, the soul master has absorbed the skills of many factions, but lacks basic casting means and special tricks, it is difficult to exert the true power, your current soul gathering array cultivation is just getting started, the future is just around the corner, as your soul gathering array continues to improve, the power of your soul array will continue to increase, and you will definitely become a powerful exorcist in time." Song Yibing replied.
"Uncle Song, I have a question that I don't know whether to ask or not." After listening to Song Yibing's answer, Zhang Su first withdrew the Four Elephant Lock Immortal Array, and then said to Song Yibing with a little meaning.
"Just ask." Song Yibing replied blandly.
"I can see that Uncle Song, you are very disgusted with soul masters, although I don't know the reason for this, but I can probably guess that it is related to your experience when you were a child, but I don't understand one thing, I am also a soul master, why would you agree to teach me your exorcist methods? Don't you hate me? Or aren't you afraid that I'll share these methods with other soul masters? Zhang Su asked sincerely.
"I really hate soul masters, you guessed right, in that ghost king banquet back then, when all the exorcists were going all out to participate in the battle, only the soul master faction took advantage of the big war." The country is in trouble and wealth', so after that, the soul master faction is dominant, but you are different, although you are the soul master of the soul hunting company, but you give me the feeling of being more like a wandering ghost exorcist, without the arrogant and cunning style of the soul master, the most important point, when we first met, I sensed another special soul fluctuation in your soul, that kind of soul fluctuation is ancient and mysterious, I can't find out clearly, it must not be the means of the soul master faction, you are hiding that kind of secret, the soul hunting company will not tolerate you, and the soul master faction will not tolerate you, so you can never integrate into the soul master faction, unless you don't want to die, because of this, I am willing to hand over my exorcist inheritance to you. Song Yibing replied.
"You're spying on me? When was this? Zhang Su looked at Song Yibing vigilantly, he recalled the scene of the first time he met Song Yibing, at that time, another soul fluctuation in his body should have come from Nuwa's remnant soul, this was the last secret he wanted people to know.
"I have a soul detection technique called Qibo Array, at that time I thought you were also a ghost, so I set this array on the path of your soul movement, you stepped on it, all the soul wave information inside and outside your soul was mastered by me, and the ancient soul hiding in your body was discovered by me, but I see that there is no problem with your spiritual sense, which means that you are not possessed by a ghost, not a ghost can only be some kind of soul that you voluntarily hide, this is your secret, you have this secret, you don't care about another secret of the exorcist inheritance, So I gave it to you, and I'm not worried that you'll give it to other soul masters. Song Yibing explained.
"Don't you want to pursue the secrets inside me?" Zhang Su asked.
"No, I already plan to stop worrying about the affairs of the soul realm, I want to live this life in peace, so not only do I not want to know your secret, but I am also willing to entrust the inheritance of the exorcist to you, so that I can retire without distractions." Song Yibing replied with a smile.
