Chapter 156: The Upgraded Spirit Soul Method, Achieving Peace Between Humans and Soul Beasts?
One week later, at the newly established Illustrious Virtue Hall.
At this moment, Illustrious Virtue Hall was already filled with mid-level and high-level soul engineers from all across the Sun Moon Empire.
They had all come for one reason:
To learn Yun Yuan's soul tool system, the level ten soul engineer, and strive to travel farther on the path of soul engineering.
Beyond that, outside Illustrious Virtue Hall,
Giant screens had been set up throughout Ming City.
This was because soul engineers from across the entire Sun Moon Empire had already gathered in Ming City.
Those watching the giant screens outside were low-level soul engineers who lacked the qualifications to enter Illustrious Virtue Hall.
For a time, the entire city was bustling with activity, and crowds flowed endlessly through the streets.
Before long, Yun Yuan's figure appeared at the highest point of Illustrious Virtue Hall, overlooking all the soul engineers within.
Outside, Yun Yuan's image also appeared on every giant screen throughout Ming City.
"So that's the Imperial Preceptor? He's so young. I thought he'd be an old man."
"How can the Imperial Preceptor be so handsome? Even as a woman, my heart is racing just looking at him."
...
The moment Yun Yuan appeared on the giant screens,
Countless people throughout Ming City were stunned.
They had never imagined that the Imperial Preceptor would be such a handsome young man.
Seated cross-legged at the summit of Illustrious Virtue Hall, Yun Yuan first introduced himself:
"My name is Yun Yuan, Imperial Preceptor of the Sun Moon Empire, founder of Illustrious Virtue Hall, the Sun Moon Empire's first level ten soul engineer."
"Today, I will begin teaching you my understanding of soul tools. You may also consider this my soul tool system."
"I believe that after today, all of you will gain something from it. As for how much, that depends on your own comprehension."
After speaking, Yun Yuan began to explain the insights he had gained over the past three months while learning soul tools from scratch.
His voice was also transmitted through the giant screens across Ming City.
In an instant,
The only sound echoing throughout the entire city was Yun Yuan's lecture on soul tools.
As Yun Yuan shared his insights, some soul engineers nodded repeatedly, while others' eyes shone with brilliance...
"So that's how it is! The Imperial Preceptor's teachings are truly a return to simplicity. I feel like my soul engineer rank can rise to another level!"
"I can't even imagine how profound the Imperial Preceptor's understanding of soul tools has become. Even someone like me with average talent in soul tools has gained tremendous benefits."
This lecture continued for an entire day and night.
Throughout the process, not a single soul engineer showed even the slightest trace of fatigue.
Their eyes were filled only with longing and pursuit of soul tool knowledge.
"Everything above encompasses all my insights—from becoming a level one to a level ten soul engineer."
"If you can comprehend even a fraction of it, you may have hope of becoming a level nine soul engineer. If you can grasp seventy or eighty percent, becoming a level ten soul engineer may not be impossible."
When Yun Yuan finally announced the end of his teachings,
Every soul engineer throughout Ming City let out a deep sigh.
Only after hearing Yun Yuan's lecture did they understand what an enormous opportunity this was.
Yet, such a great opportunity had lasted for only a single day.
How could they not feel regret?
After their regret subsided, all the soul engineers throughout Ming City rose to their feet involuntarily.
"Thank you, Imperial Preceptor!"
At this moment, every soul engineer in the Sun Moon Empire expressed their gratitude toward Yun Yuan.
The voices of thanks echoed throughout the entire city, and naturally, Yun Yuan heard them from within Illustrious Virtue Hall.
Not only that, but his spiritual power also sensed the profound reverence in every soul engineer's eyes.
A slight smile appeared on Yun Yuan's lips, and he felt deeply satisfied.
He sensed that when harvesting faith power, one soul engineer of the same level was worth several soul masters from the Douluo Continent.
As for the reason, the faith of soul engineers was simply too pure.
Just as with their love for soul tools, it was a passion engraved into their very bones.
Their reverence for Yun Yuan, this legendary soul engineer, was deeply imprinted in their hearts.
After harvesting the faith of the soul engineers, Yun Yuan also intended to accomplish another matter within the Sun Moon Empire:
Establish the Spirit Pagoda and spread his Spirit Soul Method.
Not only would this allow him to harvest the faith of soul masters, but also that of the soul beast race.
However, the Spirit Soul Method Yun Yuan intended to teach would be an upgraded version.
Although he had not completed it yet, with the support of tenfold comprehension and his wisdom domain,
He firmly believed that he would eventually develop it.
This upgraded Spirit Soul Method would allow spirit souls to evolve without the need for immortal spiritual energy.
After a soul beast signed a contract with a soul master and became a spirit soul,
It would not only retain its intelligence and independent consciousness but also evolve together with its soul master.
As everyone knew, the cultivation speed of soul beasts was far inferior to that of human soul masters.
In Yun Yuan's version of the Spirit Soul Method, once a contract was formed and a soul beast became a spirit soul, it would gain a cultivation speed equal to that of human soul masters.
In this way, a hundred-year soul beast that became a human's spirit soul could not only provide a soul ring but also greatly accelerate its own cultivation.
Furthermore, in Yun Yuan's vision, after a soul master died, the spirit soul would be able to separate and leave independently.
In other words, the relationship between soul beasts and soul masters would become one of cooperation.
Soul beasts would provide soul rings and assist soul masters in battle.
Soul masters, meanwhile, would greatly accelerate the cultivation speed of soul beasts.
It would be a completely win-win relationship. Soul beasts would no longer be oppressed by soul masters and could coexist peacefully with humanity.
If such a relationship could be established, then even if human soul masters became as greedy as they were twenty thousand years later, attempting to use soul beasts for spirit soul research and accelerating their extinction,
Such a tragedy would never happen again!
Because the spirit souls, namely the contracted soul beasts, would remain behind.
Simply put, these spirit souls would have once been battle companions and cultivation partners of the soul masters.
The bond between one human and one beast would already be akin to that of close friends.
In that case, there was no need to elaborate on the relationship between future descendants and the spirit souls of their ancestors.
"Descendant Soul Master: The family is in danger. Quickly invite the Spirit Soul Ancestor to emerge!"
"Spirit Soul Ancestor: How could I stand by and watch the descendants of my old comrade suffer!"
Not only that, but the Spirit Soul Ancestor could also become the spirit soul of later descendants.
Passed down from generation to generation, spirit souls would become unparalleled family heirlooms.
Through continuous inheritance within a family, spirit souls could gradually break through their cultivation limits until reaching the level of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for the soul beast race to go extinct.
With the Spirit Soul Method in hand, Yun Yuan was confident that he could harvest the faith of the entire soul beast race.
After harvesting the faith of the soul beasts within the Sun Moon Empire,
He would return to the Douluo Continent and spread this method further, harvesting the faith of the soul beast race within the Star Dou Great Forest, the Extreme North, and the Endless Sea.
If successful, Yun Yuan was 100% confident that creating a God King position of his own would pose no problem.
After all, this would be equivalent to gathering the faith of the entire Douluo Star into his hands.
And Douluo Star was no ordinary plane.
It was the birthplace of the supreme Dragon God of ancient times.
