Chapter 31: Long
A first-order Dao technique like the Fire Summoning Technique would probably consume about one-fifth of Li Ling's pure yang energy, and then this flame summoned out of thin air would no longer need to consume additional spiritual power to maintain burning.
Li Ling, who successfully performed the fire-calling technique, was like a child who had obtained a new toy, happily controlling the fireball to fly up and down, and it took a long time to revoke the spell pattern in his mind with a reluctant face, and the flame was extinguished as the spell pattern dissipated.
The more he studied the "True Explanation of the Technique", the more shocked Li Ling felt, and the more he admired the creator of this technique, the predecessor named "Long". The strong confidence and pride that flows between the lines is convincing.
However, what made Li Ling more interested was that in addition to the knowledge and theory of magic in "The True Solution of Magic", there were also some personal experiences and experiences recorded by "Long" predecessors like a diary.
In his early diary, he wrote that the world where Long's predecessors lived was called the Hongmeng Spirit Realm, and it was not humans who dominated this world, but a group of people who called themselves "demons".
The few words at the beginning could already make Li Ling feel a strong curiosity, after all, in his worldview, even if he crossed over to the Tianyang Spirit Realm, human beings were the same as the spirits of all things.
But the diary of "Long's" predecessor showed Li Ling a completely different new world. The natural evolution and selection of this world did not favor humans alone, and many different races were born in the Hongmeng Spirit Realm, which was extremely full of spiritual energy, some evolved from birds and beasts, some evolved from flowers and trees, and some even evolved from ores, gold and iron.
In order to compete for resources and living space, these different races have been fighting each other for thousands of years, and finally with the joint efforts of the seven powers, all races have been subdued, and since then they have been called "demons" together.
And those seven powers are also revered as "demon saints".
The demon clan attaches great importance to the inheritance of bloodline, and if you have the blood of a great demon, you will be respected and treated preferentially wherever you go. And the predecessor of "Long" is a very weak demon without any bloodline, in this world that values strength more than everything, the situation can be imagined.
But the predecessors of "Long" did not accept their fate, and with weak innate strength, she began to try a different path, that is, divine consciousness and demon magic, these two cultivation systems that were despised by ten thousand demons.
But the "Long" seniors were unmoved, and while cultivating their divine senses diligently, they were studying the basic demon arts. Although he has no talent in spiritual power cultivation, in the realm of divine consciousness, the "Long" predecessor is a well-deserved first person of the demon clan.
In the process of studying basic witchcraft, the predecessor of "Long" gradually realized some true meanings, so she began to create new magic.
Maybe the "Long" seniors themselves didn't notice it, but the power of the witchcraft she released became stronger and stronger every time, until one day, the terrifying fluctuations produced by a demonic spell alarmed the seven "demon saints".
At this time, the predecessor of "Long" realized that she had reached such a level of strength in her silent research.
The strength of the predecessors of "Long" has gained the respect of the seven "demon saints", but she does not like power, but asks for a pure place by herself and continues to explore the true meaning of demon magic.
Hundreds of years later, under the witness of the entire Hongmeng Spirit Realm, the "Long" predecessors shattered the space and soared away.
And at this time, the predecessors of "Long" understood that the Hongmeng Spirit Realm was just a grain of sand in this vast world.
In the later diary, it is recorded that the "Long" predecessors learned different systems of magic in various worlds, and after analyzing the structure of witchcraft, Taoism, magic, talismans, formations, arcane and words, the "Long" predecessors finally cracked the essence of the magic.
The predecessors of "Long" believed that the essence of magic is to use the body as a carrier, and to use divine consciousness and spiritual power as the basis to communicate and attract the power of heaven and earth, so the attributes of magic are not limited to their own innate attributes. In other words, although Li Ling is a fire spirit vein, he can use spells with other attributes. For example, the palm thunder of the thunder system in Taoism, and the ice arrow of the water system in magic.
Although the power of the first-order spell may not be as powerful as the actual "Chixiao Sword Technique", because of the variety of types, when Li Ling is dealing with different situations, the "True Solution of the Technique" can give him more choices.
Putting away the vast "True Solution of the Technique", Li Ling rubbed his temples, looked at Xuan who was waiting obediently and asked, "What grade is this "True Solution" in the prize pool of the low-level lottery?"
"It's an SSS-level item, and the probability of drawing it is 1 in 100 million. Xuan said with a smile.
Is it one in a billion? Indeed, the value of "The True Solution of the Technique" is too great, this is the lifelong learning of an ancient demon.
Li Ling wiped his face and said with a wry smile: "I feel like I've used up all my life's luck......"
The knowledge in "The True Solution of the Technique" cannot be digested overnight, and Li Ling, who was slightly tired, immediately withdrew from the world of divine consciousness.
Outside the crack in the stone, the torrential rain had stopped, and Li Ling threw a piece of wood into the fire, causing the flames that were about to be extinguished to burn again.
Xiao Hei is still absorbing the spiritual power of the spiny pig demon core, the originally crystal clear light green round core has become a little dull at the moment, Xiao Hei's state has completely recovered, it is waking up from a coma is actively devouring the demon core, two long tails swinging around, it seems to be in a good mood. The pupils were ice blue and amber, and they were looking at Li Ling quietly, and their eyes had lost their previous vigilance.
Li Ling smiled at Xiao Hei as he took out a few spirit stones from his storage bag, wanting to set up a spirit gathering array to restore his spiritual power.
However, just as Li Ling was preparing to set up the formation, an idea suddenly popped into his mind, with the knowledge about the formation in the "True Solution of the Technique", could he try to modify the Spirit Gathering Array?
The Spirit Gathering Array is a low-level rune array widely spread in the Tianyang Spirit Realm, although it consumes a lot of spirit stones, but its practicality is indeed irreplaceable. Therefore, for thousands of years, countless rune array masters who have attained attainments in the field of rune arrays, without exception, have almost tried to change the structure of the Spirit Gathering Array, trying to make it more efficient in transforming spiritual energy, but they have all failed.
With the idea of changing the Spirit Gathering Array, Li Ling naturally thought of the predecessors of "Long". Because the talent of the "Long" predecessors in spiritual power cultivation is very poor, in the "True Solution of the Technique", the "Long" predecessors have made a lot of explorations and attempts on the transformation of spiritual energy. She believes that the best at transforming aura in many worlds are actually demon beasts, and their talent for digesting and ingesting aura is innate. By observing the soul-devouring process of nearly 10,000 demon beasts, the "Long" predecessor finally created a special spell pattern called "Soul Devouring Technique".
However, the predecessors of "Long" regretted that the spell pattern of "Soul Devouring Technique" could not successfully cast the corresponding effect, and this was just a fantasy spell that existed in theory after all.
And Li Ling's idea was to borrow some of the spell patterns of the "Soul Devouring Technique" and integrate them into the spell patterns of the Spirit Gathering Array.
Not to mention the Fu Array Master, but any monk who knew something about the Fu Array would scoff at Li Ling after learning about Li Ling's unrealistic idea.
A person who has not systematically studied even the most basic rune array structure would want to fuse two completely different rune arrays?
But Li Ling didn't care about this, he picked up half a charcoal from the fire, and wrote and drew on the stone wall. Because the spell patterns of the "Soul Devouring Technique" are detailed in the "True Solution of the Soul Eater", what Li Ling has to do now is to analyze the spell patterns in the Spirit Gathering Array first.
With the help of Tianmingguan, Li Ling quickly copied the spell pattern of the Spirit Gathering Array on the stone wall, because it was the most basic low-level rune array, and the spell pattern of the Spirit Gathering Array was not complicated. Li Ling then began to disassemble the spell runes of the "Soul Devouring Technique" and the Spirit Gathering Array, as if he was disassembling two different puzzle pieces, and then constantly tried to reassemble new spell patterns.
However, how could this process of recreating the pattern of the new spell be so easy, two hours had passed, and the sky outside the stone crack had become dim, and even Xiao Hei began to yawn, but Li Ling still insisted on solving the spirit gathering array on the stone wall, and there was a little more inexplicable fanaticism in his eyes.
Li Ling has been a person who likes to challenge since he was a child, when other children were playing and enjoying his childhood, he was spontaneously learning to solve some Olympiad problems far beyond his knowledge level as fun, and Li Ling, who was immersed in it at that time, was also so fanatical and excited.
Li Ling continued to be in a state of being stunned until the next morning, Xiao Hei stretched his waist very humanely, licking his paws with sleepy eyes, and looked at Li Ling with a trace of indescribable ...... in his eyes Commiseration?
Li Ling had two heavy black circles under his eyes, his mouth was like a magic stick, his eyes were full of fine red bloodshots, and almost every stone wall in the stone crevices was densely covered with magic lines.
"It's a success!" Li Ling suddenly exclaimed, shaking Xiao Hei who was licking his fur in fright.
Li Ling used the most stupid method, he intercepted the different rune fragments in the "Soul Devouring Technique", tried to fuse them with the Spirit Gathering Array one by one, and the new spell patterns obtained were constructed in his mind with his divine sense.
After trying thousands of combinations in a row, he really found a feasible spell pattern!
Li Ling calmed down his excitement a little, grabbed a handful of high-grade spirit stones from the storage bag, and carefully laid out a new spirit gathering array.
The new Spirit Gathering Array required three times as many top-grade spirit stones as before, but as soon as the formation was formed, Li Ling clearly felt the difference, and the spiritual energy released was at least about fifty percent richer than before, and the speed of release was also faster.
What's more, the new Spirit Gathering Array can not only transform the aura in the spirit stone, but also automatically absorb the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth.
