Chapter 669: The Second Nascent Soul
The cultivation of the insect repelling technique was not difficult. With Han Li’s current realm and cultivation base, comprehending these secret arts came naturally, as easy as turning his hand.
However, these secret arts greatly broadened his horizons. The various methods and means recorded for using insects to attack enemies left him marveling incessantly.
Especially the spell formation of the “Insect Armor Technique” perfectly realized his previous vague ideas.
Before, although he could command the tricolor golddevourer worms to condense into simple objects like blades and swords, when it came to something as complex as armor, he always felt somewhat powerless, with several difficulties he couldn’t overcome.
Now, with the “Insect Armor Technique” spell formation recorded in the Jade Slip, after just over a month of practice, he could skillfully condense armor.
It was truly incredible!
But while Han Li was happy, he also secretly rejoiced in his heart.
He believed that the expert who created the “Insect Armor Technique” probably did not possess such powerful spiritual insects like the golddevourer worms to condense insect armor easily. In terms of defense, it naturally could not compare to true protective treasures. Coupled with the rarity of insect cultivators, this cultivation technique was not well known.
But once this spell formation was in his hands, it was a completely different story.
The shells of the tricolor golddevourer worms were naturally tough and hard to stimulate, and with their unique ability to transform and condense, the protective ability of this armor was superior to ordinary armor, perfectly suited to him.
Moreover, after those golden golddevourer worms mastered the new insect controlling technique, they could naturally transform into even better magical armor.
Han Li was full of confidence about this.
Thinking further about the fully evolved mature golddevourer worms, Han Li found it hard to contain his excitement.
After a while, Han Li finally calmed down.
He patted the insect armor and pondered for a moment, then exhaled a mouthful of spiritual energy.
The insect armor dissolved and reverted into numerous spiritual insects. With a wave of his hand, Han Li gathered them all back into his spiritual beast pouch.
He sat down cross-legged again. Calmly, he took out a cyan Jade Slip from his storage pouch — it was the item Xin Ruyin had left behind.
Han Li held it carefully with both hands, his eyes half-closed as his spiritual awareness quickly immersed into it.
Putting aside the ancient formation from earlier, he directly found the final mysterious male nascent soul transformation great technique’s incantation.
This cultivation technique, no one knew whether it was created by some ancient demonic cultivator in the distant past, was not only obscure and profound in its incantation but every phrase was a gem, filled with hidden meanings. Han Li tried to comprehend it almost word by word. The process was incredibly slow.
After at least half a year, Han Li barely penetrated more than half of this technique.
Even so, it shocked Han Li deeply, and he admired the ancient cultivator who created this technique with deep respect.
Indeed, this technique seemed somewhat similar to the Taoist secret technique of transforming one Qi into the Three Pure Ones. How much difference there actually was, Han Li could not say since he had never touched the Taoist’s top mysterious arts.
However, this cultivation technique was entirely different from the ordinary demonic path secret arts of “external manifestations.” It was absolutely a true heavens-defying magical ability that created a second nascent soul. Once cultivated, one could possess two entirely independent nascent souls. Although there was a primary and secondary distinction, if either nascent soul perished unexpectedly, the other could continue to exist safely.
However, if the primary nascent soul encountered trouble, the secondary nascent soul would have to lose a lot of vital energy to gradually transform into the primary one. But if the secondary nascent soul was damaged, the effect on the primary nascent soul was almost negligible.
