Unable to Cultivate, I Can Only Raise Soul Pets Novel - Chapter 354

Chapter 354: Priceless Treasure! The Mysterious Heavenly Peak Mountain!

He Huan looked fixedly at the stack of white paper in her hand.

It was called the Soul Guiding Skill, but there was no name.

There was only the category name.

For example, the first page said: Suitable for bug type soul pets to cultivate.

The next scene was a strange cultivation technique mainly used by green caterpillars. There were a total of several cultivation forms, each with a corresponding incantation.

There were also cultivation variants. Other than the green caterpillar, there were also a few examples.

“This is a Soul Guiding Skill?”

He Huan focused and looked, “It’s suitable for bug type soul pets…”

It was very arrogant.

There were many bug type soul pets! Moreover, when each soul pet’s body combined, their form and size were worlds apart.

…

Different bug type soul pets needed to develop corresponding Soul Guiding Skills that were often extremely valuable.

Occasionally, there would be soul pets with similar forms. Their Soul Guiding Skills were indeed similar.

However, even if they were similar, there were still differences.

If one Soul Guiding Skill could be used on more than two soul pets, the value would be very high.

However, the actual development difficulty was extremely high.

…

From the Soul Guiding Skill until now, there were pitifully few Soul Guiding Skills that were suitable for more than two soul pets.

There was no Soul Guiding Skill suitable for more than three soul pets.

“Where did this guy get these things from…”

He Huan flipped a few pages and began to frown, “Not only does the Soul Guiding Skill need an action posture… but what incantation is that? How can there be any incantation in a proper Soul Guiding Skill… at most, there are some special vocalizations. Moreover, soul pets speak differently.”

The Soul Guiding Skill was a secret technique to guide soul power.

It was a way to help soul pets or Contract Soul Masters cultivate soul power.

Most of the Soul Guiding Skills were stored in the gene capsule like soul skill secret carvings.

After consuming the gene capsule, the Soul Guiding Skill would appear in the soul consciousness and be explained.

Without the gene capsule, it was impossible to just have the supplementary explanation.

Therefore, even if others learned the Soul Guiding Skill, he could not spread it.

Without using the gene capsule, there was no record of this Soul Guiding Skill in the soul.

This was similar to the soul skill secret carving.

Unless one was a peerless genius who had comprehended the Soul Guiding Skill himself.

Just like how soul pets comprehended soul skills, except that this was much harder and more dangerous than soul skills.

Soul pets needed to undergo countless training to comprehend soul skills.

On the other hand, if one was not careful and controlled the soul power of the outside world to flow through their body, they would cause devastating damage to their body.

“The Soul Guiding Skill usually has very few supplementary movements… Most of them are methods to circulate soul power. It’s related to intelligence and spirit. How can it be effective with just a few movements and chants?”

He Huan was puzzled, “How can there be any soul beasts from the Remote Antiquity Era now? At most, there are some ancient soul beasts that survived from the Fallen Ancient Era…”

The calamity of the Fallen Ancient Era had caused the civilization of the Remote Antiquity Era to be lost.

Modern scholars could only gain a little understanding of the Remote Antiquity Era through some broken ancient artifacts in various corners of the world or barely preserved documents.

This little understanding was like a drop of water compared to the entire sea.

For example, the Ancient Fiend and Divine Light Whale, who were even older than the Sky God Dragon, were only powerful soul beasts at the end of the Remote Antiquity Era.

Humans today did not know much about them.

Not to mention those before them.

“Did soul beasts of the Remote Antiquity Era cultivate like this?”

After He Huan flipped through the first few pages, her heart jumped.

Her intuition told her that it was not fake.

It was mainly because Wang Che’s little caterpillar was not ordinary.

It was extraordinary from the beginning.

“Not to mention now, the initial Enlightenment Cup… Putting aside the soul skill he created, the Martial Soul Armament defeated Lin Xi. Its green caterpillar is also much stronger than a normal green caterpillar… Could it be because of this?”

He Huan immediately went to a research lab and found a few researchers, “Are there any green caterpillars in the base that have completed their enlightenment?”

“Yes, quite a few.” One of the research directors was slightly stunned, not knowing why Professor He suddenly asked this.

“Find five of them.”

“…”

The research director was stunned. He did not know why a dignified professor was so interested in the green caterpillar.

Their base had many soul pets.

Every day, they would produce many soul pet eggs.

Then, they would hatch soul pets and conduct various research, such as the incubation time, the parents’ situation, the genes, and so on.

He had to study the various situations of soul pets.

As for producing excess soul pet eggs, they would be distributed to the soul pet management centers in the major cities.

Many research institutes in the various continents were the same.

After all, soul pets usually hatched many eggs. As for research, it didn’t need many.

The soul pet management would distribute these soul pet eggs to high school students who needed the first batch of soul pets for free.

Of course, these were only one of the sources of free soul pet eggs.

Normally, free soul pet eggs would come from wild soul pet hatching or abandoned eggs.

As long as these eggs were healthy, they would become free soul pet eggs. As for what hatched, it would depend on one’s luck.

As a professor, she was the chief of the base.

The research projects were often very advanced.

Green caterpillar…

Eh… this kind of soul pet research project was usually only studied by intern researchers who had just entered the base.

Although he was puzzled, the research director immediately got someone to carry five green caterpillars over.

“This is a batch that hatched half a month ago. It has already completed the initial enlightenment. Its intelligence is about three years old.”

The research director pointed at the largest one and said, “The cultivation of the oldest one is about five years. It’s currently the highest and has slightly higher intelligence.”

Normally, after completing the research mission, these green caterpillars would be placed in the surrounding forest to let them get used to life in the artificial forest.

They would slowly record the data.

After reaching a certain cultivation level and adapting to the forest environment, they would be released to the wilderness to train.

If they lived in a gentle environment protected by humans for a long time, to these soul pets, it would be a slow death.

Therefore, they had to be placed back in the wilderness unless there was a Contract Soul Master.

“About three years old.”

He Huan nodded.

Immediately after, she began to slowly teach the bug type soul pet cultivation methods on the five green caterpillars.

The pictures on it were all using the green caterpillar as an example, so she naturally had to try the green caterpillar first.

As a professor, her teaching level was extremely high.

In a few minutes, the five green caterpillars hissed and began to cultivate.

“Modify the soul power concentration of the research lab to a normal level in the outside world.” He Huan said.

The research director immediately did as he was told.

They waited.

After a while, the research director understood.

It was the Soul Guiding Skill that was a little special.

The five green caterpillars were twisted and made strange sounds.

But soon, he was shocked.

Not only him, but He Huan’s eyes also began to show shock.

In less than an hour, a white light began to glow on the five green caterpillars.

This meant that its soul power cultivation had increased.

“An hour? Their cultivation increased?” The research director rubbed his eyes, “What Soul Guiding Skill is this? Moreover, they just ate the food and have completely digested it… Why is their soul power circulating so quickly?”

He Huan was silent.

There was basically no Soul Guiding Skill that the green caterpillar cultivated.

Their research base actually had one. It was developed by them and the effect was not bad.

It was not sold to the public because there was no profit in it.

This was because there were too few soul masters who used the green caterpillar. Moreover, after the green caterpillar evolved into a Green Nether Butterfly, the Soul Guiding Skill had to change.

It could evolve in ten years.

If not for research, there was no need to develop the green caterpillar’s Soul Guiding Skill in such a short evolution process.

Even the Soul Guiding Skill they developed could not increase the green caterpillar’s soul power cultivation by a year in an hour.

Of course, they could tell that this was related to the food they had eaten.

This Soul Guiding Skill was closely related to food and had an extremely high absorption rate.

Moreover, even if it had never eaten food, its speed was still very astonishing.

“Find five of these bugs each.”

He Huan clenched the stack of white paper in her hand.

These were soul pets of different sizes, attributes, and grades.

The research director immediately reacted and summoned it to try…

Half a day later…

As the white light constantly lit up in the research room, He Huan stared fixedly at the stack of white paper in her hand. Two words kept popping up in her mind:

“Priceless treasure!”

——

When he arrived at the Transversal Peak Mountain Range again, Wang Che felt that although the temperature had decreased greatly, it was still very high.

“The Earth Fire will erupt from time to time.”

The Oracle Heavenly King said, “However, it’s not as exaggerated as before. It can basically be resolved in the West Peak Continent.”

The Ink Feather Green Spirit flew to a small mountain near Heavenly Peak Mountain.

Below was a forest made of bare towering trees.

The Heavenly Peak Mountain was right in front of him. He could not see the end as he looked up.

“It should be in this area. Earth Fire has already appeared twice in this area. Fortunately, most of it has been extinguished. The first time was when the soul beasts here spontaneously extinguished it. Later on, after these soul beasts migrated, the army here was mobilized to extinguish it again.”

“However, the Earth Fire is ferocious. The lava left behind corroded the ground. Many ancient trees, strange flowers, and plants were burned to ashes.”

“There are also cracks formed by the Earth Fire everywhere on the mountain.”

The distant Heavenly Peak Mountain was like a statue that had been slashed by countless carving knives.

The lava that had already condensed was like frozen black blood that spread out in all directions.

Vaguely, a crack appeared on the entire Heavenly Peak Mountain.

It was as if it would break apart.

“If the Ancient Fiend you mentioned will awaken, according to the research of many experts in the war zone, it will basically rush out of the Heavenly Peak Mountain.”

“At that time, the Heavenly Peak Mountain will directly collapse… The landslide and earthquake caused will affect the entire Transversal Peak Mountain Range. The mountain range will form a chain reaction, even without considering the strength of this huge beast. Just this chain reaction will cause quite a bit of shock in the West Peak Continent and the Cloud Border Continent.”

“The disaster is much more troublesome than the previous tsunami.”

“Fortunately, I know the situation of this Ancient Fiend. Even if I can’t stop it, I have a way to deal with it in advance.”

“The only danger in this area should be soul beasts. There are basically no other Ghost Disciples or soul masters in other war zones.”

The danger was eliminated.

It seemed that it was prepared.

Wang Che nodded slightly and glanced at it.

“I’m leaving.”

On the way here, she had actually almost explained everything.

The Oracle Heavenly King nodded and watched Wang Che walk down the mountain.

This area was very large. It would definitely not be found in a day or two.

If he could not find it, Wang Che would choose to meet the Ancient Fiend.

Exploring alone was extremely dangerous, especially in such a place.

Due to the Earth Fire, the soul beasts in this area were a little violent.

Although it was not comparable to the Soul Earth, it still had a certain level of offensive power.

Not long after Wang Che left, a few lights landed from the air and two figures gathered beside the Oracle Heavenly King.

Two old men.

“This kid set off?” Heavenly King Zhan asked.

“He’s setting off.” The Oracle Heavenly King nodded, “We can only see if he can find it. Otherwise, the Heavenly Peak Mountain…”

“The last time the Oracle Phantom Spirit appeared was in the Earth Fire Competition…” Heavenly King Zhan placed his hands behind his back and said slowly, “Wang Che wasn’t lying. He saw the Oracle Phantom Spirit. Moreover, the reason for the appearance of the Oracle Phantom Spirit was not because of the Earth Fire… Instead, it was because the self-destruction caused by that Divine Flame Giant would alarm the underground of the seventh level at that time. It would cause the underground to collapse and affect the Transversal Peak Cave.”

“This little thing is so intelligent… It appeared and calmed the Divine Flame Giant’s self-destruction. Clearly, it sensed this disaster. However, why did Wang Che see it?”

“That’s not important.” The Oracle Heavenly King frowned as she looked at the nearby Heavenly Peak Mountain, “The most important thing is to find the Oracle Phantom Spirit.”

“If we don’t find it, we can only passively endure the disaster that’s about to happen here… It’s that Giant Beast down there!”

Heavenly King Zhan shook his head and said, “Every time this little thing appears, nothing good happens… but it can indeed resolve some disasters… I wonder if it’s bad luck or good luck.”

“However, it’s not right to say that we’ll passively endure it.”

“Oh?” The Oracle Heavenly King raised her eyebrows, “Have you analyzed the situation over there?”

“It’s not analyzed, but there are some guesses. A few days ago, after you sensed the mental fluctuations of the Oracle Phantom Spirit in this generation, the Ninth Investigation Bureau worked overtime to study and analyze some ancient history. They discovered that there was a problem with Heavenly Peak Mountain.”

“What question?”

“It’s related to the Transversal Peak Cave,” Heavenly King Zhan whispered. “You know the origin of the Transversal Peak Cave. As for the Heavenly Peak Mountain, it’s very special. According to some ancient documents, this mountain seems to be connected to something underground in the Remote Antiquity Era.”

“It’s not a soul beast or that Ancient Fiend.”

“I don’t know the exact details… There are no detailed records anymore. Those documents only record some ancient words… In any case, it doesn’t look like anything good.”

“Moreover, imagine why this Ancient Fiend lived under the Heavenly Peak Mountain since that era? There are so many places underground. Why did it choose to stay here?”

“With our strength, we can enter this underground to explore. However, there’s also the Ancient Fiend below. Once we go deep, if we can’t do anything, we might easily awaken it.”

“The appearance of the Oracle Phantom Spirit must have sensed something…”

After hearing this, the Oracle Heavenly King frowned even more.

From Heavenly King Zhan’s tone, she felt that something was wrong.

“Don’t worry, these are just guesses,” the Cloud Sky Heavenly King said. “With his current strength, if he can’t find the Oracle Phantom Spirit, it won’t be a problem for him to walk out on his own.”

“Even if there’s really a problem, with your mental strength, you can quickly sense him and find him.”

With the Heavenly King guarding here, there would naturally be no problems.

That was what they thought.

Three days later.

“Shriek!”

The Ink Feather Green Spirit, which was patrolling, suddenly let out a violent cry.

The Oracle Heavenly King in a meditative state suddenly woke up!

“Little Feather, what’s wrong?”

The Oracle Heavenly King looked at the Ink Feather Green Spirit.

The Ink Feather Green Spirit flapped its wings and pointed at the Heavenly Peak Mountain in front, letting out a hurried cry.

“You lost contact?”

The Oracle Heavenly King’s heart jumped.

When Wang Che left, he kept his communication device.

In the past three days, Wang Che’s path had been normal. Although he did not find the Oracle Phantom Spirit, there was no danger.

The Ink Feather Green Spirit attached itself to Wang Che.

The Ink Feather Green Spirit would also fly to the surroundings of the Heavenly Peak Mountain and sense it with its mind. Once there was a problem with any location, it would send the location to Wang Che immediately and let him investigate.

In order to not alert the Oracle Phantom Spirit, it would not enter the range of the Heavenly Peak Mountain.

It could only sense it slightly with its mental strength and could not be too strong.

In fact, it still depended on Wang Che.

Nothing happened in the past three days.

“Not only did we lose contact, but why is there so much fog on the Heavenly Peak Mountain? Immediately send the data to the Soul Earth Investigation Bureau and the research base.”

The Oracle Heavenly King sat on the Ink Feather Green Spirit’s back and flew to the sky.

She took a deep breath.

Layers of mysterious clouds appeared on the huge Heavenly Peak Mountain, covering the entire mountain and the nearby area.

Once mental strength seeped in, it was like a drop in an ocean. It could not sense anything.

“Not good… Why did I lose contact… Could something have happened to this kid? Little Feather, guard outside and help me contact the others. I have to go in and take a look first.”

The Oracle Heavenly King patted the Ink Feather Green Spirit’s back.

Then, she leaped and disappeared into the clouds…

——

“This place is actually so strange?”

Walking in the ancient forest, he was surrounded by broken trees and rocks. The path was steep. Wang Che frowned slightly.

It had been three days since he entered the Heavenly Peak Mountain.

The Ink Feather Green Spirit sent more than ten mental fluctuations.

However, they didn’t even find the Oracle Phantom Spirit. They only found some traces left behind by soul pets or other random things.

Some were feces, some were corpses, and there were also some special soul plants.

He also encountered a few soul beasts. Wang Che trained Bear Treasure to use its current strength and easily defeated them.

Even if it was a ten-thousand-year soul beast, after Bear Treasure activated the Titan True Body, it could basically crush it easily.

Without using the Titan True Body, it was almost invincible with its Overlord’s Strength and Divine Might.

After evolution, Bear Treasure’s cultivation also increased.

It had endured the life force baptism of the six soul bones. After evolution, its physical strength had greatly increased in all aspects.

Its soul power cultivation increased by 500 years, from 3,300 years to 3,800 years.

It was comparable to the Magnetic Sword!

Evolution could be said to be the most direct process of a soul pet’s cultivation increase.

Wang Che looked up at the sky.

Stars filled the sky.

He looked at the time on the communication device. It was still at twelve.

“If my calculations are correct… it should be around ten in the morning on the third day. The time on the communication device has not changed since last night… Moreover, the Ink Feather Green Spirit did not send any more messages. The communication device has failed.”

Wang Che calculated, “Nothing strange happened a few days ago…”

He used the little caterpillar to start a fire and rested for a while.

One person and three soul pets surrounded the fire.

Bear Treasure’s evolution made the little caterpillar and the Magnetic Sword feel temporarily uncomfortable.

Especially the little caterpillar, it felt that it could not bully Bear Treasure like before.

When they first entered this place, Wang Che released the three little guys and walked happily.

When resting, the little caterpillar wanted to give Bear Treasure some pointers and train it.

It was the day Bear Treasure evolved. It rested in the soul realm for half a day, but as soon as it trained, it discovered that Bear Treasure had changed.

After three days, the little caterpillar felt pressured.

Especially attribute soul skills, their effect on Bear Treasure decreased drastically.

The strongest fire attribute could also cause some damage because of the special flames.

As for the rest, if it did not enter the True Dragon Form, it would feel useless.

Only the spatial soul skill was still effective, especially the Multiple Force Field.

The little caterpillar felt that its big brother’s status was threatened, so it increased its daily training.

Finally, a day ago, it learned Spatial Slash.

At this moment, the three little guys surrounded Wang Che and listened to his story.

If they wanted to continue exploring, they had to rest daily.

The little caterpillar still felt that it was meaningful after hearing this. It looked up at the sky and saw the stars. It called out to Wang Che, “Ssss!”

The sky was not bright yet, which meant that it was still time to rest.

‘I’m going to sleep.’

As it spoke, it was about to enter the soul realm to sleep.

“It’s already morning,” Wang Che said. “There’s a problem here. Time and space are in chaos. It’s time to go to work.”

The little caterpillar felt that Wang Che was lying to it.

The sky was clearly not bright.

“It’s okay. Go rest.” Wang Che glanced at it.

The little caterpillar was a little surprised. It did not expect Wang Che to agree.

Hmm… the little caterpillar was thinking.

At this moment, Wang Che muttered to himself, “I’m going to watch Bear Treasure cultivate. Hmm, it’s so strong now. It seems that I have to choose another big brother for the three of you.”

The little caterpillar immediately jumped up behind Wang Che and cried out.

“Ssss!”

‘I’m awake, I’m not resting!’

‘Let’s go, charge, charge!’

“You’ve been training hard these past few days.” Wang Che turned around and smiled, “Rest more.”

The little caterpillar shook its head and patted its head with its tail. It was very energetic.

Wang Che smiled and was about to pack up and continue setting off.

At this moment, the ground ahead trembled like an earthquake…
