Realm of the Night God

Chapter 563: Cultivating Spirit Summoning

After returning to the villa from the Ghost Cave, Yang Haoran suddenly remembered an important matter that he had wanted to do for a long time, but due to his busy schedule, he had forgotten about it. Now that he remembered, he felt that he should handle it first.

This matter was cultivating a type of spirit summoning that could allow his soul to quickly condense into a spirit and escape after his physical body died.

When Zhao Hong died, all her collections became Yang Haoran's possessions. Among these collections, Yang Haoran didn't know if there was a spirit summoning of this type, because he had obtained many spirit summonings from Zhao Hong, but he hadn't examined each one carefully at the time.

In the study room, Yang Haoran took out all the spirit summonings he had obtained from Zhao Hong from his independent space and carefully searched through them. Finally, he found the one he was looking for.

This spirit summoning was called Spirit Transformation. After successful cultivation, if the physical body suffered a devastating blow, the soul would condense into a spirit in the first instant and remain in a awakened state, allowing the cultivator to find an opportunity to escape.

Since the spiritual power of a spirit master was very similar to the Yin spirit power of an Underworld Envoy, whether in terms of form or nature, a spirit master could cultivate the spirit summoning of an Underworld Envoy. Similarly, an Underworld Envoy could also cultivate the spirit summoning of a spirit master.

However, whether it was ghost magic or spirit summoning, one had to have the corresponding hand seals and incantations to cultivate successfully. Lacking either one was unacceptable.

This was like a talisman master drawing talismans - simply drawing them was not enough; one also needed the corresponding incantations, otherwise, the talismans would not be able to exert their power.

If a spirit master cultivated too much ghost magic from an Underworld Envoy, the spiritual power within their body would transform into Yin spirit power. Similarly, if an Underworld Envoy cultivated too much spirit summoning, their Yin spirit power would transform into spiritual power.

If a spirit master's spiritual power transformed into Yin spirit power, they would inevitably be misunderstood by their peers, leading to unnecessary trouble, and might even be mistaken for an Underworld Envoy and attacked by their peers.If an Underworld Envoy's Yin spirit power transformed into spiritual power, the consequences would be even more severe. They would not only be mistaken for a spirit master by other Underworld Envoys and attacked, but might also face severe punishment from their organization!

The Yin Division had a clear regulation: any Underworld Envoy or ghost attendant was absolutely not allowed to cultivate spirit summoning, not even those at the lowest level of the Night Watch. If anyone was found to be cultivating spirit summoning, it would be a capital offense, regardless of whether they were an Underworld Envoy, ghost attendant, or Night Watch. The only outcome would be death!

It was because the cost of cultivating spirit summoning was too great that there were almost no Underworld Envoys in the entire Yin Division who dared to secretly cultivate spirit summoning, because no one wanted to pay such a high price.

Similarly, there were not many spirit masters who cultivated ghost magic. One reason was that they feared being mistaken for an Underworld Envoy by their peers, and another reason was that they looked down on the ghost magic of the Yin Division. It wasn't that the ghost magic of the Yin Division was not powerful enough, but rather that as spirit masters, they were not willing to cultivate ghost magic.

Of course, not all spirit masters thought this way. There were some more open-minded spirit masters who would cultivate ghost magic, but it was difficult to find ghost magic, and even many Underworld Envoys and ghost attendants didn't know much about it.

However, overall, the number of spirit masters who dare to cultivate ghost techniques is absolutely higher than the number of Underworld Envoys who cultivate spirit summoning, because the former requires a much smaller price to pay compared to the latter.

As for how to determine whether a spirit master who has cultivated ghost techniques is not an Underworld Envoy, you only need to look at their Guardian Spirit. Even if they have cultivated ghost techniques to the point where their spiritual power has completely transformed into Yin spirit power, if they have a Guardian Spirit, they are absolutely a spirit master, because Underworld Envoys do not have Guardian Spirits.

As for how to determine whether an Underworld Envoy who has cultivated spirit summoning is not a spirit master, you need to see if they have a soul weapon. If they have a soul weapon, they are definitely not a spirit master.

Yang Haoran, as an Underworld Envoy, was very clear about the consequences of cultivating spirit summoning, but he did not give up cultivating the Spirit Transformation, a Spirit Summoning Secret Art, because he was not afraid of adding another death sentence to his list.

Raising a large number of ghosts and controlling them to do his bidding was already a capital offense. Privately manufacturing a soul-refining cauldron and using souls to refine soul pills was an even greater offense, and just this alone was enough to get him killed a hundred times.

What he was doing now was already violating many rules of the Yin Division, and he had committed numerous capital offenses. Naturally, he was not afraid of adding another crime to his list.

However, with his cautious nature, he would not be foolish enough to cultivate too much spirit summoning, although he currently had many spirit summonings in his possession, including some Spirit Summoning Secret Arts. But he was not prepared to touch any of these spirit summonings, because once the spirit summoning was cultivated too much, the Yin spirit power would change, even if it was just a slight change, it would put him in a desperate situation.

So, he only prepared to cultivate the Spirit Transformation, a Spirit Summoning Secret Art, to give himself an extra means of survival. He would only cultivate one type of spirit summoning, and his Yin spirit power would not undergo any changes.

To ensure that cultivating one type of spirit summoning would not affect his Yin spirit power, Yang Haoran reviewed a large amount of data, reconfirming the matter through multiple channels before starting to cultivate the Spirit Summoning Secret Art Spirit Transformation.

Cultivating the Spirit Transformation was not difficult, and Yang Haoran only took a short period of a few days to successfully cultivate the technique.

After successfully cultivating the technique, the first thing he did was to immediately release his Yin spirit power and carefully sense any changes to his Yin spirit power. Only after confirming that his Yin spirit power had not changed at all did he finally put his mind at ease.

If it weren't for the fact that the Spirit Summoning Secret Art Spirit Transformation had a great temptation for Yang Haoran, with his cautious nature, he would have absolutely refused to cultivate spirit summoning, because it was too risky for him. Once something unexpected happened, he would regret it too late.

It was precisely because of this that, before cultivating Spirit Transformation, he went through various channels to review a large amount of data to verify the safety of his approach.

Even after verifying the safety of his approach through various channels, he still had some trepidation in his heart, until he carefully sensed that his Yin spirit power had not changed at all, and only then did he completely put his mind at ease.

Although he was not afraid of adding another death sentence to his list, he was afraid that once he used his Yin spirit power, he would expose the secret of his spirit summoning cultivation, which was purely seeking death.

After successfully cultivating Spirit Transformation, Yang Haoran had also left himself a means of survival. He still had many spirit summonings in his possession, but he did not dare to touch them at all.

However, he did not plan to let these spirit summonings go to waste. Since he had obtained them, he would definitely think of a way to bring out their value, but this was not a matter that could be accomplished overnight. He still needed to plan carefully.

On the second day after Yang Haoran successfully cultivated Spirit Transformation, Ye Zhiqiu also completed his task and returned to the villa. This time, he had been out on a mission for a relatively long period, but the harvest he brought back was astonishing, with two powerful malevolent spirits.

This was the largest harvest Ye Zhiqiu had obtained since working under Yang Haoran, but it was also the time he paid the greatest price, as he had suffered severe injuries.
