Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 185: The Protoss
Time quietly slips away.

Li Chunfeng's divine embryo has already developed many tree ring-like patterns.

The Black Lotus Divine Embryo was being cleansed by the heavy soul energy, its impurities being washed away round and round, making it more ethereal, pure, and serene.

After this feeding event ended, the level of the lamp-burning lamp dropped by three levels, and its aura appeared somewhat weak.

He quickly removed the demonic transformation and sent the lamp into his soul aperture to nurture it.

[Lighting the Lamp]: Level 6 Netherworld Spirit (Tier 4)
Soul assimilation rate: 16%.

The assimilation rate was quite high this time, but there's still room for further feedback.

Li Chunfeng's soul power also broke through the million mark in one fell swoop.

In addition, the Black Lotus Divine Embryo has quietly completed its sixth divine refinement.

【Black Lotus Sutra of a Turbid World - Triple Level: Level 6 (4888/6000)】

To reach this level, one would normally need at least eighteen years of cultivation.

However, it was successfully achieved in just a few days.

The benefits can be described as enormous.

Within the inner world, a brand-new purple rune is deeply imprinted on the Black Lotus Divine Embryo.

The Heavenly Rank 1 High-Grade 'Soul Devouring' talent and the Heavenly Rank 1 High-Grade 'Heart Lamp' talent have now completely shared the same level as the Burning Lamp talent, allowing both to advance at the same pace.

In other words, Li Chunfeng will not need to merge with Randeng to become a demon in the future; he will still be able to devour divine souls and refine them into his own.

“Completely shared talent.”

This is an effect that other cultivators cannot achieve by feeding back to their own natal demonic pet.

No matter how many times the food is given back, it will always be the same.

Li Chunfeng had never heard of any cultivator who could completely share their talents with their own natal demon pet.

Otherwise, simply giving back is sufficient.

The stronger the talent of a natal demon pet, the more it will ultimately benefit its owner. Wouldn't that make everyone a genius?

This is clearly inconsistent with the facts of the Earthly Realm.

The reason why Li Chunfeng was able to achieve such a complete sharing of talent with Randeng is special.

This is because everything Randeng possessed was brought about by him. Each fusion of souls was a close intermingling of their divine souls. From a mere mortal lantern, he had grown into a peerless prodigy of the highest celestial rank. He and Randeng had long since achieved a complete fusion of their souls.

If there were a statistics on intimacy levels, the intimacy level between the two people would have already exceeded the limit.

Only in this way can there be such a complete sharing of talents between the destined demon pet and its master.

If it were any other natal demon pet, even Mosquito Taoist, it's unlikely to have the same feedback effect as Burning Lamp.

Li Chunfeng then tested the various spells brought about by the Heavenly Soul Devouring and Heart Lamp talents.

"Soul-Seizing Whip, Soul-Devouring Fang Armor, Nine Netherworld Demon Eye, Death Soul Curse Seal, Living Soul Perception."

"Heart Light Halo, Heart Light and Shadow Embryo Great Barrier, Dawn Halo."

They all unleashed their power one by one.

Aside from the difference in realm and the slight reduction in power, it is almost identical to the effect of the combined demon transformation.

"With my superior Heaven-rank 'Soul Devouring' talent, I can be considered a post-natal Soul Devouring Sacred Body, right?"

Unfortunately, the various celestial-level spells of the lamp could not be integrated with its master's.

"...Haha, I'm getting a little greedy."

Li Chunfeng's face was beaming with joy.

Take a look at the damaged jade disc.

Both sides' shared spells, 'Psychic Shield' and 'Psychic Fist', successfully broke through to the upper-grade Heaven Rank thanks to this talent boost.

The proficiency levels of other spiritual and mental spells have also increased significantly.

[Psychic Shield: Celestial Rank, Level 10 (∞/∞)]

【Psychic Fist: Heavenly Rank, Level 10 (∞/∞)】

[Invisibility of Thought: Profound Rank, Level 10 (∞/∞)]

[Battle Will Body: Profound Rank, Level 10 (∞/∞)]

【Void Handprint: Profound Rank, Level 10 (∞/∞)】

But the greatest improvement was in the realm of the soul.

Li Chunfeng's spiritual pressure was greatly enhanced this time, and his divine sense perception suddenly expanded from more than 6,000 zhang to more than 18,000 zhang, a distance of nearly 60 kilometers.

This level of divine pressure is comparable to that of a Yin God Realm expert.

This is clearly not an effect that can be achieved through the Six Refinements of the Divine Embryo.

Rather, it was the immense boost to the path of the soul that was displayed after sharing the Heavenly Rank 10 superior 'Soul Devouring' talent of Burning Lamp.

With such divine power, going to the Black Abyss Black Lotus Sea and visualizing the eighth-grade black lotus would be a piece of cake.

of course.

If the talent level of the lamp cannot be improved in the future, even if he gives back again, it will not achieve the same effect as this time.

In Li Chunfeng's hands, there was also a Rank 1 spell advancement stone, a Rank 1 purification crystal, two Rank 1 bloodline transformation crystals, a Rank 1 supernatural power advancement stone, and two fragments.

He used an Earth-rank spell advancement stone on 'Mind Invisibility'.

Elevate 'Mind Invisibility' to the Earth Rank level.

【Invisibility of Mind: Earth Rank, Level 1 (1/1000)】

Under the passive spell of the Earth Rank, his presence is even less noticeable, and his aura is even more effectively concealed.

After digesting what he had gained from this tribulation, Li Chunfeng returned to the Spirit Realm.

Night had fallen outside, and the wilderness was utterly silent.

Li Chunfeng lit a bonfire and released Taiyi. Taiyi immediately began to roast the beast meat with great enthusiasm. Although no one taught him, his roasting skills became more and more exquisite.

After finishing his meal, Li Chunfeng looked up at the starry sky.

A dazzling star shines in this world, and the starlight appears exceptionally strong in the wilderness.

He then decided to spend the night in cultivation. *Screech!*
Suddenly, a clear bird song pierced the night sky.

The sound, coming from afar and gradually approaching, reached this cave dwelling in fits and starts.

Li Chunfeng's divine sense instantly spread towards the source of the sound.

Under the starry sky, a giant bird with a wingspan of over thirty feet flew by, its wings flapping and stirring up gusts of wind.

But the giant bird wasn't coming for him.

Instead, he was chasing after a spirit girl with purple starry eyes and three stars adorning her brow.

As they flew closer, the spirit girl clearly noticed a cluster of fires on the distant mountain.

The firelight there was not the reddish-brown flames spewed by monsters at night, but rather pure wildfire.

Where there is fire, there are living beings.

She was already exhausted from being chased, and although she wanted to fly towards the fire, she was afraid of bringing danger to the stranger. So she could only fly around the mountains with the big bird.

A series of deafening screams came from behind.

The spirit girl was fast, but ultimately not as fast as the ferocious bird that was naturally adept at flying.

Seeing that she was being chased closer and closer, she had no choice but to suddenly launch a series of starlight missiles behind her.

A series of clanging sounds rang out, like metal clashing. The starlight missiles, which could easily pierce metal and stone, struck the back of the demonic bird as if they were hitting fine iron, unable to penetrate its skin at all.

Although the demonic bird was not injured, it was thoroughly enraged. A hazy blue light flashed on its two halberds, and it suddenly accelerated forward. With a flap of its wings, it struck the spirit girl's chest heavily with a "boom".

But then a series of cracking sounds came from her chest, and then the spirit girl shot backward like a piece of tattered leather.

The immense power carried by those wings slammed her heavily into the body of another towering mountain.

The demonic bird, seemingly unwilling to let go of the fat meat that was already in its mouth, let out a cry, turned in mid-air, and transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the spirit girl.

"It's over. I never expected that leaving my clan to chase the star beasts here would attract such a powerful demonic bird. I'm afraid I'm going to die here this time." The spirit girl thought to herself, a tearing pain shooting through her body, making it impossible for her to even hide.

Just as she thought she was doomed, a dragon's roar suddenly came from the sky.

A powerful, dragon-like creature appeared and disappeared in the clouds. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and spat out a whirlwind that swept towards the ferocious bird.

The demonic bird's eyes flashed with ferocity. With a fierce flap of its wings, streaks of azure light slashed through the air like knives towards the tornado.

The two forces collided, transforming into gentle breezes that miraculously neutralized the tornado.

"Evil beast."

"These are delicacies on your plate, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

Taiyi's transformed fish-dragon seemed to be enraged. A huge dragon claw woven from azure lightning, carrying three-tenths of the dragon's power, swept across the sky with blade-like, vast azure lightning, easily tearing the bronze-skinned, iron-boned demon bird into several pieces as if slicing tofu.

Amidst the rain of blood, the demonic bird's corpse was broken into several pieces. Just as it was about to fall, it was caught by an invisible force and then stored in a storage magic treasure.

"It is fate that we meet today. As fellow members of the Spirit Clan, I will save your life."

A voice came from the mountains.

Immediately, a giant handprint in the void pulled the spirit girl out of the rocky mountain, sending her flying in an arc before landing on the cliff face.

In the small space extending beyond the excavated cave, a spirit race man dressed in a jet-black robe, with two dragon horns on his head and a single ray of light between his brows, sat cross-legged. In front of him was a bonfire, on which a huge piece of meat was roasting. Beside him was a demon race youth, who was dragging the enormous remains of the demon bird in his hands.

The spirit race, formed through transformation from fetus to human form, is not merely a simple physical appearance; even the aura of the spirit race is imitated with remarkable accuracy.

Anyone who sees this would have to say that this is a true member of the Spirit Race.

In the girl's eyes, Li Chunfeng had a calm expression, and his eyes shone brightly like pearls in the darkness.

Although she appeared young, the spirit girl still knelt down as if she had survived a calamity, sincerely thanking her: "Xingling thanks you for saving my life, senior!"

Li Chunfeng readily accepted her bow, asking, "What race are you? What are your racial characteristics? And why have you come alone to the depths of this desolate region?"

"Senior, I am a Star Spirit. A race of spirits who possess the power to control starlight and have human form. We are descendants of the Star God, capable of observing the stars and using stellar magic. The strong among us can deduce future events by observing celestial phenomena. It was our Great Elder who, after observing the stars at night, prophesied that a Star Beast would descend upon this desolate region and slumber, and that my destiny lay with this Star Beast. That is why Star Feather risked coming here to find the Star Beast."

Protoss?
They can actually predict the future.

Li Chunfeng remained calm and asked, "Your injuries are quite severe. Are you capable of healing yourself?"

"Yes, please allow Xingling to recover here."

Li Chunfeng waved his hand, indicating that she should do as she pleased.

Xingling's life was saved by others, and she didn't hide it. She immediately adopted a strange posture and silently cultivated, and the power of the stars in the sky suddenly increased.

This situation is quite similar to Li Chunfeng's cultivation of the Star Soul Bone.

However, the star power that the girl received was far less than that that that Li Chunfeng received.

After a long while, the girl stopped practicing her internal energy, and her injuries had mostly healed.

Taiyi handed a piece of roasted bird leg to Xingling.

Seeing the Spirit Clan girl hesitate for a moment, Li Chunfeng asked, "Is your race vegetarian?"

Xingling quickly shook her head, "Senior misunderstands. My race is not vegetarian. Demon beasts eat humans, and humans eat demon beasts. This principle is a basic rule in any spirit race. It's just that this piece of roasted meat is too precious, and Xingling feels unworthy to accept it."

"Eat it if it's offered to you. You'll recover faster if you're full."

"Yes, thank you again, senior." Xingling accepted the roasted meat with gratitude and thanked Taiyi as well.

Li Chunfeng watched her eat until she was stuffed, not letting a single piece of meat go to waste. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Your strength is too weak. You can't even handle an ordinary fourth-tier demonic bird. How can you possibly search for star beasts?"

“Senior, the Star Spirits have their own methods for dealing with Star Beasts. Besides, the Grand Elder told me that my opportunity lies here.”

Li Chunfeng remained noncommittal, "How will you find the star beasts?"

"It's based on celestial phenomena, stellar power, and even the art of star attraction," Xing Ling said without any concealment. "If I'm lucky, I can draw stellar power down here and might even attract that star beast directly."

"I see."

Li Chunfeng thought to himself, "No wonder that star beast inexplicably broke my sword peak. I cultivated star soul bones on the sword peak, so it must have been the residual star power that lured the star beast there."

In the latter half of the night, the two continued their intermittent communication, which allowed Li Chunfeng to gain a deeper understanding of the Protoss race.

Upon learning that the girl Xingling was only eight years old in the Celestial Spirit race, they were immediately surprised.

He started venturing out at the age of eight, which is much better than that of humans.

Xingling needed to find opportunities to hunt star beasts, and Li Chunfeng also wanted to hunt star beasts, so the two hit it off and formed a temporary team.

After daybreak, they set off together to search for the star beast.
