Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 70 Ghostly Talent
After Wu Tian fled the mountain stronghold, he did not rush to make a move.

After this period of cultivation, he is almost at the end of his training in the Soul-Sweeping Spell. Moreover, he has discovered that every time he uses his Soul-Eating Talent, it will greatly accelerate the progress of this spell.

"After hunting one or two more monsters, the Soul-Sweeping Curse should be complete. At that time, I will be able to awaken a new talent, which will definitely be related to the soul."

After hunting down several spirits, he discovered that the best way to deal with them was to target their souls.

Those monsters were all thick-skinned and had immense strength, having absorbed the energy of heaven and earth.

If one becomes a demon, breathing demonic energy, or water, fire, or poison, it is in no way inferior to various spells and magical artifacts.

It would be extremely difficult for cultivators of the same level to fight spirits and demons head-on, but if they had methods targeting the soul, it would be much easier.

Wu Tian carefully sensed the information carried by the wind. The spirits would leave messages in the wind when they walked, rested, or hunted, and Wu Tian could hear and sense these messages.

He pricked up his ears and sniffed the air, quickly sensing the location of the great demon.

The tiger demon exuded a murderous aura and was extremely flamboyant, making no attempt to conceal its true nature.

Even more terrifying, further away from the tiger demon and the mountain stronghold, the auras of other great demons rose up, with as many as three great demons within Wu Tian's perception range alone.

This terrified him. "With so many demons attacking the stronghold, everyone in the Eighteen Strongholds will die. What are those people on Skull Mountain thinking?"

Wu Tian couldn't understand why the Eighteen Villages, as the foundation of Skull Mountain and the source of its disciples, seemed completely indifferent during this crisis.

"There's no point in thinking too much..." He suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, chose the position furthest away from the tiger demon, and then ran quickly.

Upon arriving at their destination, they saw a crow spirit tearing apart a wild rabbit.

"Roar!"

Without hesitation, Wu Tian simultaneously used the Thunder Sound Spell and his Soul Eater talent.

In an instant, it seemed as if thunder had exploded in the clear sky.

The crow spirit's body instantly froze on the spot.

To prevent the crow spirit from flapping its wings and flying away, Wu Tian used Wind Escape to instantly leap over ten feet and took a bite.

puff!

Crimson blood splattered as sharp teeth gripped the crow spirit's body tightly.

"Quack quack~"

The crow spirit flapped its wings frantically, emitting sharp and rapid cries.

However, the greatest advantage of this bird that has become a spirit is its pair of wings. Now that Wu Tian has them in his mouth, it is truly impossible for it to escape.

Before long, it was bitten to death.

Wu Tian swallowed the crow spirit's soul in one gulp, then lay down next to a large tree and began to circulate the Soul-Cleansing Spell.

An hour later, the crow spirit's soul was completely digested.

The system panel also changes accordingly.

Ding! System notification: Your skill Soul Spell has been upgraded to perfection and can be awakened as a talent. Please choose one of the following three talents.

Option 1, Soul Eater, allows you to directly devour the souls of living beings, but if the soul of the other party is powerful, you will suffer a backlash.

Option two, Soul Cleansing, allows you to cleanse your soul and remove impurities from it.

Option three, controlling ghosts, allows you to command ghosts as your servants, provided you can subdue them.

Wu Tian first eliminated the third option, and then focused his attention on options one and two.

"The Soul Eater talent and the Ghost Eater talent have different focuses. The Soul Eater talent is more focused on living beings, while the Ghost Eater talent is focused on dead spirits."

"Not to mention the Soul Cleansing Talent, I'll be consuming Yin Souls for a long time in the future. I was worried about potential problems, but this talent will help me cleanse my soul." After hesitating for a moment, he still chose Soul Consumption.

"The most important thing right now is to increase my combat power. The combination of the Food Soul and Food Ghost talents will definitely make it easier for me to face those demons and monsters."

"Moreover, I vaguely sense that the Moon Devouring Qi Circulation Diagram, the Thunder Sound Spell, and the Fiery Eye Spell should all have some effect on cleansing the soul."

With this in mind, Wu Tian immediately made his choice.

Ding! System notification: You have acquired a new Food Soul with special talents.

Ding! System notification: Your Talent Food Soul and Talent Food Ghost are affected by the Netherworld Qi and can be fused. The Netherworld Qi will change after fusion. Do you want to fuse?
Wu Tian's eyes lit up. He had previously guessed that these two complementary talents might be able to merge, but he wasn't very confident. Now that it had succeeded, it was an unexpected surprise.

"However... will the Qi of the Netherworld undergo changes?"

He hesitated slightly, something that had never happened before.

The connection to the mysterious energy is the foundation of his cultivation. Whether it is circulating the energy, or later condensing the form and the mysterious gate, it is all based on the connection to the mysterious energy.

If the Qi of the Netherworld goes wrong, the trouble will be immense.

After hesitating for a long time, Wu Tian finally made up his mind.

"So far, the system panel has only produced positive changes. Advanced talents are so important. Even if my Tongyou Qi is destroyed, I can cultivate it again."

With this thought in mind, he made his choice immediately.

"System, select fusion."

In an instant, the system panel changed.

Ding! System notification: Your talent Food Soul and talent Ghost have been successfully fused. Congratulations on obtaining the advanced talent Ghost God.

Ghosts and spirits: You have acquired some ghost and spirit characteristics, and are able to capture the souls of living beings and swallow them to nourish your body and spirit.

(Note: Ghosts and gods are born from the netherworld. Beings that have not yet condensed their divine souls cannot resist the power of ghosts and gods. Beings that have condensed their divine souls will be intimidated by ghosts and gods. Ghosts and gods cannot shake the Dao embryo primordial spirit and the inner core of the demon king.)

Ding! System notification: The Tongyou Qi within your body has undergone a transformation and sublimation.

"God help me too!"

Upon seeing the new talent, Wu Tian was overjoyed and couldn't help but roar to the sky, wagging its tail excitedly.

"A talent for the supernatural, this is just too strong!"

“Master once said that the so-called casting of the cauldron is to cast the cauldron of body refinement, temper the three souls and seven spirits, and finally transform them into divine soul.”

"Only those who have perfected the casting of the cauldron can forge their divine soul."

"The demon race does not cultivate magic, and their souls are weak. Only when they become great demons and their bloodline awakens can they refine their souls."

"In other words, I can devour and kill any monsters or demons below the level of a Great Demon, or any cultivator below the level of a Perfected Forging Cauldron."

At the same time, he felt a tremendous change occurring within his body's internal energy.

He seemed to have formed an extremely subtle connection with the depths of the earth; a cold and pure aura surged from the earth and entered his body.

This feeling is as if one is inhaling and exhaling the ghostly energy beneath the earth.

After the original Tongyou Qi absorbed and exhaled the Netherworld Qi, it underwent a tremendous transformation, as if it had been sublimated, becoming increasingly pure and cold, like the water of a cold pool flowing through its limbs and bones.

Even his soul, nourished by the Netherworld energy, became increasingly pure.

The flow of nether energy circulates throughout the body, constantly tempering the physique.
