Soul Petrifying Glare proved invaluable during the early stages of formation. It allowed him to freeze emerging spiritual disturbances, preventing the chaotic growth of cursed entities within the Jiangshi cores. This gave him time to stabilize the structure before it could spiral out of control.
Through these methods, his success rate improved.
Gradually.
Steadily.
His Jiangshi became more reliable.
More obedient.
More effective.
At the same time, his Soul Cultivation continued to advance, though not at the explosive pace he had once experienced. The initial surge had been fueled by major events. The mine collapse. His rise as a Legacy Disciple. The intense emotional reactions of thousands.
That period had passed.
The sect had adjusted.
His presence, while still impactful, no longer generated the same overwhelming waves of emotional energy. People had grown accustomed to him. Familiarity dulled intensity.
Han Yu had tried to counter this.
With mixed results.
