The great thousand soul refining technique reached its pinnacle because Ye Zhongming was fortunate enough to receive a gift from the three-legged person.
During this process, Ye Zhongming lacked the day-and-night hard training that others in the secret realm experienced, and he did not undergo the gradual comprehension and understanding of such secret techniques.
In simple terms, his mastery of this secret technique is far from the level of those who have reached the top through actual training.
However, whether it is a martial art or secret technique, it is nearly impossible to cultivate to the highest level in the secret realm.
Previously, Ye Zhongming thought it was sufficient, as the great thousand soul refining technique provided him with a vast amount of mental power. With that mental power, he could use various skills and equipment multiple times.
This means that Ye Zhongming treated the great thousand soul refining technique more as a method to increase his mental power, a supplementary ability.
Even so, it allowed Ye Zhongming's strength to soar.
Of course, crafting soul artifacts was another application, but this required the cooperation of the artisan profession. Just like the birth of the shattered soul bone staff, the great thousand soul refining technique indeed played a significant role, but the glorious artisan profession was also indispensable. If asked which aspect played a greater role, Ye Zhongming himself might not be able to clarify.
As Ye Zhongming's mastery of the top-level great thousand soul refining technique increased over time, his understanding of this ability deepened.
Usually, he would carefully attempt to guide and practice on aspects that had changed significantly, but he was cautious.
After all, he is a person from Earth, a planet that belongs to the roulette civilization, whereas the secret realm does not, and the great thousand soul refining technique originates from the secret realm.
He feared conflicts between the two. Even if it was not manifested now, he worried about it in the future.
Why did Ye Zhongming initially set up the secret technique team? He hoped to cultivate warriors who had not been "occupied" by Earth's roulette civilization.
However, as he gradually gained an understanding of the world, the secret realm, and the reasons for the apocalypse, he slowly retracted such ideas.
But this does not mean that his worries completely disappeared, especially regarding Ye Zhongming himself. He is among those who "hold two positions" and has gone the farthest in all aspects. If problems arise, it will likely start with him, and if possible, he naturally does not want any bad situations to occur.
Thus, when practicing the increasingly evident abilities of the great thousand soul refining technique, Ye Zhongming was very cautious, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he thought carefully with every step.
There were indeed results. Ye Zhongming was most familiar with the mental field. With the arrival of the top-level great thousand soul refining technique, the mental field had already formed a fixed range. Within this range, any target must be influenced by Ye Zhongming, especially hostile targets. If the mental power is too low, Ye Zhongming could completely strip them of their ability to resist.
However, Ye Zhongming usually did not open the mental field fully because it consumed too much mental power. He only needed to keep the range of his mental field around his body. Even so, Ye Zhongming had not encountered any opponents who could rival him for a long time.
The few eighth-level ones from the Temple of Dawn were ineffective, and the seventh-level president from the royal family was not a match either.
In Ye Zhongming's view, perhaps only the Holy Maiden who acted alongside Yangos could reach his current level.
Of course, he was self-aware when facing the Holy Father.
But the current situation forced him to take a risk because he did not want to lose the two ice birds, who possessed infinite potential.
