Chapter 194: Great Strength Divine Ability of Pan Wu
After Shi Jian and the others cleaned up the battlefield, Fang Han spoke to everyone: "There's something else I need your help with, brothers. I want to borrow your strength to refine the Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit!"
Earlier, when Fang Han made a breakthrough to the Unity Realm, he had borrowed the group members' strength, which opened a door to a new world for him. The Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit belonged to the Ghost Emperor. Once he refined it, his strength would surge again.
However, refining the Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit required him to possess extremely strong Mental Energy. Moreover, the Ghost Emperor's will still existed within the spirit. The Ghost Emperor used a strange Demonic Technique to seal his consciousness, just waiting for Fang Han to refine the spirit so he could instantly recover and take possession of him.
In the original plot, Fang Han obtained a gourd of the Power of Will of all living beings. He then used that power to cultivate the Second Sea of Consciousness and Third Sea of Consciousness from the Great Strength Divine Ability of Pan Wu. His Mental Energy surged, and only then was he able to refine the Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit.
But Fang Han currently didn't have the Power of Will of all living beings, so he couldn't cultivate the Great Strength Divine Ability of Pan Wu. He planned to cheat. He would borrow the power of the group members to refine the Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit. Through the power contract, all the power of the group members would descend upon him. Naturally, this also included their Mental Energy.
Borrowing one person's strength was equivalent to having a "Second Sea of Consciousness." Borrowing two people's strength was equivalent to having a "Third Sea of Consciousness." With the Mental Energy of the group members superimposed on him, he could refine the Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit.
Refining the Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit in the Unity Realm was very different from refining it in the Golden Core Realm. If Fang Han could integrate the spirit into his Lifebound Divine Talisman before reaching the Golden Core Realm, he would be able to reach an extreme state when he made his breakthrough.
"Borrow strength? That's no big deal…" Everyone originally thought Fang Han had something major to discuss. It turned out he just wanted to borrow some strength. This was a trivial matter for them. A certain newcomer, Shi Jian, had been borrowing strength twenty-four hours a day since joining the chat group.
"Just cultivate here. We'll be your protectors!" Shi Jian spoke immediately.
"Alright!" Fang Han didn't stand on ceremony. He flew directly to a mountain peak and sat down cross-legged. Without another word, he immersed his Divine Sense into the Abyssal Gate of the Yellow Springs Map.
As he entered, Fang Han felt rolling, monstrous Devilish Qi. Within this Devilish Qi, there was a fierce Devil with three heads and six arms, holding a skull staff, a butcher knife, and other vicious Magical Artifacts. This was precisely the Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit that the Ghost Emperor had cultivated for over three thousand years.
The Primordial Spirit contained pure Magic Power, as well as various Divine Abilities and great formations. It had been tempered for 500 years in the endless Devilish Qi of the deep abyss and had also experienced various tribulations. It was the essence of the Ghost Emperor's entire strength.
"Ghost Soul Qi Cultivation Technique, Secret Devil Yin Thunder, White Bone Soul Chasing, Evil Ghost Devouring Spirit Technique, Great Yin and Yang Supplementation, Joyful Confusion Technique, Nether Ghost Fire… This Ghost Emperor truly lives up to his name; all he cultivates are Demonic Techniques!" Fang Han secretly clicked his tongue.
The Ghost Emperor had mastered techniques ranging from Yin and Yang Harmonious Cultivation to soul-killing methods. He must have killed at least millions of people to cultivate so many Divine Abilities. The Demonic Path truly engaged in indiscriminate killing, extracting souls, bone marrow, and blood to refine their skills.
The Ghost Emperor was a great Devil. Hua Tian Du seemed like a well-behaved child compared to him.
Fang Han didn't hesitate and immediately borrowed Xiao Yan's strength, then fiercely punched the Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit. This incredibly powerful form was instantly shattered. It transformed into thirty-four types of Ghost Dao Divine Abilities.
Among them, the strongest were five evil Devils: one greenish-blue, one pitch-black, one with golden scales, one with flames, and one earthy yellow. They corresponded to the Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
This was the Ghost Emperor's core Divine Ability, the Great Five Elements Devil Technique. It was a method derived from the Great Five Emperors Devil Divine Ability. Although not as powerful, its might was still terrifying.
The Great Five Elements Devil Technique was a true Demonic Path method. It directly integrated the souls and malevolent Qi of millions of living beings to refine five Devils. These Devils would serve as life-bound Devils, constantly absorbing mortal souls to grow.
"Cultivating this Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit must have created countless grievances…" Fang Han sighed, then suppressed the five evil Devils and began to fully refine the spirit.
His Lifebound Divine Talisman floated in the Void Realm. He seemed to transform into an ancient Buddha, with Divine Power permeating his surroundings, chanting scriptures to subdue the Devils. Countless monstrous Devilish Qi was suppressed by his great will.
Immortal and Devil merged into one. Streams of power poured into his Lifebound Divine Talisman, which steadily grew stronger. Various Divine Abilities integrated into it, but instead of his Lifebound Divine Talisman growing stronger, a strange will emerged. The Ghost Emperor's life experiences appeared, and his figure emerged. He had revived.
"Hahaha, Fang Han, do you think I, who cultivated for over 3000 years and am so talented and brilliant, would be so easily killed by you? In fact, I long ago cast the Demonic Path Seed Technique, hiding my will, just waiting for this moment…" The Ghost Emperor's thoughts filled Fang Han's entire Mental Energy space.
"Now I have entered your mind, controlling everything about you, taking your Divine Abilities. Everything you have will be for my benefit. I will become the master of the Yellow Springs Map, cultivate to the Longevity Secret Realm, and become an eternal giant…"
"If I hadn't intentionally let you catch me, how could you have done anything to a peerless expert at the tenth level of Divine Ability, Heaven-Defying Fate?" The Ghost Emperor's thoughts filled Fang Han's entire Mental Energy space.
"Indeed… Villains die from talking too much!" Fang Han saw that the Ghost Emperor was still blabbering and remembered what Shi Jian had said. He had already prepared for this. He just didn't expect the Devil Emperor to start blabbering as soon as he revived.
Several powerful Magic Treasures suddenly flew out from around Fang Han: the Eight Buddhist Pagodas! This was an Immortal Artifact from Dragon Clan legends that suppressed everything. Although it wasn't the true version, it was enough to deal with the Ghost Emperor.
"Borrow strength… Yang Qi!" In addition to the Eight Buddhist Pagodas, Fang Han also borrowed Yang Qi's strength. It was precisely for the power of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, which specifically suppressed all evil Devils.
A powerful and domineering force suddenly appeared on Fang Han's body. The Nether God's Spear appeared in his hand. The monstrous Devilish Qi seemed to encounter its natural enemy and was forced back by the spear's Aura.
Fang Han spread his Angel Wings, emitting a holy Aura, as if he were a divine power judging all evil. The Nether God's Spear instantly attacked, and the Ghost Emperor was torn apart by countless holy Qi.
"What kind of power is this…" The Ghost Emperor only managed to let out a scream, and then his entire being vanished into thin air.
"Is this the power of the complete Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength? This power is truly pure, carrying the Aura of holy evil-slaying. It seems to be the nemesis of all crooked and Evil Path methods!" Fang Han couldn't help but exclaim. Yang Qi's power was too terrifying.
"According to Xiao Yan and the others, this is extra damage bonus? Hundreds of percent extra damage bonus?" Fang Han silently mourned for the Demonic Path cultivators who would oppose Yang Qi.
After killing the Ghost Emperor, Fang Han began to fully refine the Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit. After successively borrowing strength to increase his Mental Energy, he finally completely refined the spirit, and his Magic Power reached an extremely terrifying level. His Lifebound Divine Talisman also greatly increased in power.
Fang Han opened his eyes, a clear look of joy flashing within them. "Thank you all, brothers, for your help!" He immediately thanked Shi Jian and the others. The few people nodded.
"These are minor matters. It seems your strength has greatly increased, and you've gained a lot!" Shi Jian said with a smile.
"A slight gain, but cultivating the Great Strength Divine Ability of Pan Wu next won't be so opportunistic…" Fang Han also responded with a smile.
"Great Strength Divine Ability of Pan Wu? Is it a Divine Ability that increases strength?" Lin Dong asked curiously.
Shi Jian rolled his eyes. "You don't read anything in the chat group… Fang Han already uploaded this Great Strength Divine Ability of Pan Wu to the chat group a long time ago!"
"The Great Strength Divine Ability of Pan Wu contains many methods, one of which is to open up an independent Mental Energy space in the mind: the Second Sea of Consciousness, the Third Sea of Consciousness…"
Lin Dong was stunned. "Holy cow, is this Great Strength Divine Ability of Pan Wu that awesome?"
Xiao Yan and Luo Feng also became excited. "Can this Divine Ability really open up a separate Mental Energy space?" They knew how awesome this was for opening up a separate Mental Energy space. Other Mental Energy Cultivation Techniques only cultivated and increased Mental Energy. This Divine Ability, however, directly "opened up a source"!
This was like kidneys. With one kidney, your life is uncertain. With two kidneys, you hesitate. With three kidneys, you stand tall. With four kidneys, some people's lives are still uncertain. Xiao Yan and Luo Feng had quite high demands in this regard. Directly having an extra Mental Energy space, its value was self-evident.
"So, you guys don't even look at the Cultivation Techniques in the chat group…" Shi Jian thought that only Lin Dong, this illiterate, didn't like to read the files. He didn't expect Luo Feng and Xiao Yan not to read them either.
"I can't even fully grasp the Cultivation Techniques I already have… How can I have the time to look at the ones in the chat group?" Xiao Yan argued confidently. "As the saying goes, biting off more than you can chew…" He even wanted to counter-educate Shi Jian.
Luo Feng's thoughts were similar. Shi Jian's Aura weakened after hearing their words. He himself didn't seem to have looked much at the newly uploaded Cultivation Techniques in the chat group either. He knew about the Great Strength Divine Ability of Pan Wu because he had read "Eternal Life"!
However, even if his reason wasn't straight, his Aura was strong! "Biting off more than you can chew? Reflect more on whether you've worked hard all these years, whether you've cultivated diligently…" Shi Jian immediately launched into a set of aggressive rhetoric and then finally got to the point:
"This Great Strength Divine Ability of Pan Wu is indeed suitable for you few who specialize in Mental Energy to cultivate. The effect of opening up an extra Mental Energy space is too great!"
"However, cultivating this Cultivation Technique requires the Power of Will of all living beings, or the Qi of war. Both of these things need to be collected in the mortal world!"
