Chapter 37 Electrolux's Understanding
Huo Yuhao and the others exchanged glances, slightly surprised by Electrolux's background, but not too shocked.
Especially Hyotei.
She had witnessed the Martial Ancestor's actions firsthand, so she wasn't too surprised by Electrolux's divine status.
"Yuhao is truly very lucky."
Ice Emperor inwardly marveled: "With the legacy of the Martial Ancestor preceding him, and otherworldly deities residing in the Sea of Spirituality following him, this fortune is so extraordinary that calling him the chosen one of destiny in the Douluo Continent wouldn't be an exaggeration."
Huo Yuhao asked, "Fragments of divine consciousness? Could it be that Elder Yi's true form has already..."
A hint of melancholy appeared on Electrox's aged face, but he quickly regained his composure.
He said calmly, "That's right. My original body has long since perished, but by chance, a fragment of my divine consciousness survived. That day, I was attracted by the fluctuations when Tianmeng merged with you, which is why I was able to break through space and descend to this place."
"Because this fragment of divine consciousness is too incomplete, I don't remember much. But I do know that the people in my previous world called me the Holy Necromancer, the Undead Scourge, Elex."
Necromancer God, Undead Scourge...
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly; this didn't sound like the title of a benevolent deity.
But he quickly relaxed again.
Since Wu Jing did not object to Ilex entering his spiritual sea, there must be an untold story hidden behind his divine name.
After all, the name of the Necromancer Saint ultimately contains the word "Saint".
Electrolux noticed the change in Huo Yuhao's expression and chuckled, "Aren't you afraid of me, young friend?"
Huo Yuhao remained calm: "If Elder Yi truly intended to harm me, he would have done so long ago when I was cultivating the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique. Why wait until now?"
"Moreover," he pointed to Wu Jing beside him, "Wu Jing's spirit has never rejected Elder Yi."
Electrolux looked in the direction Huo Yuhao was pointing.
The Martial Scripture floats quietly in the sea of spirit, its color ancient and weathered, surrounded by a thick layer of radiance.
Electrolux sighed, "I've heard you all say that the Martial Ancestor is truly extraordinary and transcendent. I never even knew what to think about such a person before, let alone heard of him."
"It is my great fortune to be able to reside in your spiritual sea, Yuhao, and accompany you beside the Martial Arts Manual."
After exchanging a few words with Electrolux and getting to know each other briefly, Huo Yuhao asked curiously, "Elder Electrolux, since you come from another world, I would like to ask, what is the scenery like in your world?"
Hyotei and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also cast their gazes in attention.
Even though Hyotei had witnessed the might of the Martial Ancestor, she still harbored a strong desire to explore otherworldly deities.
Electrolux's aged voice slowly rang out: "My memories are incomplete now, but I still remember that my world was called the Holy Demon Continent, where people didn't cultivate soul power, but rather magic..."
Electrolux began to explain his world to Huo Yuhao and the other two.
"I broke with the Glorious Church, accepted the inheritance of necromancy, and transformed from a child of light into the Scourge of the undead."
Huo Yuhao remained silent.
Hyotei and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm looked at each other in disbelief, shocked that Electrolux, all by himself, had unleashed a dark age that would sweep across the entire world.
As Electrolux continued to narrate, Huo Yuhao and his companions seemed to enter a completely new world.
Finally, Electrolux sighed, a complex look flashing in his eyes.
He said, "After I resolved the backlash issue of the Grim Reaper's Scythe, I died in the light of purification. But I never expected that this would lead me to Douluo Continent and make my acquaintance with you all."
After listening to Electrolux's story, Huo Yuhao was filled with emotion.
Electrolux's acceptance of the past and his insights into life deeply moved him.
"The patriarch and Elder Yi are all the same kind of people."
Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly, "The Plane of the Dead, a realm of light and death. The cycle of life and death contains great opportunities. Elder Yi's enlightenment this time is nothing short of achieving a different kind of reincarnation. Perhaps Elder Yi's combat power will be insufficient due to the limitations of the universe, but his mindset is already sufficient."
After figuring out the key point, Huo Yuhao bowed to Electrolux as a junior.
He sincerely said, "Mr. Yi, your experience has benefited me greatly. Thank you for your guidance."
Electrolux said he dared not take credit, and that Huo Yuhao's enlightenment was his own good fortune.
Ice Emperor suddenly spoke up and asked, "Elder Yi, how does the magic you just mentioned differ from the soul skills of Douluo Continent?"
Electrolux pondered for a long time before carefully saying, "The essence of magic is to resonate with the elements of heaven and earth through spiritual power, thereby invoking the power of laws. It is a path of cultivation that directly points to the source."
"As for soul skills, I haven't seen many, so I can only speculate based on Yuhao and the elders of the Body Sect."
"I believe that soul skills are skills born from the residual soul beast energy in the soul ring, including soul fragments, energy attributes, and residual soul power, after resonating with the soul master's martial soul."
He paused for a moment, then said, "This method of acquiring skills is somewhat similar to a variant of the Sacrifice spell in necromancy."
"You can think of it as using the spirit ring as an altar and the spirit beast as firewood, borrowing external force to open the door to further contact with the elements of heaven and earth."
"And your soul beasts' soul skills are actually closer to the magic of the Holy Demon Continent, except that they don't require chanting."
A strange light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
He quickly pressed on, "Elder Yi, could you explain your understanding of the Soul Master system in detail?"
Huo Yuhao had a hunch that Electrolux's necromancy, or soul magic, would be a crucial aid in his transformation of the Spirit Eye into a rune.
Therefore, understanding Soul Masters and Soul Skills from Electrolux's perspective is particularly important for Huo Yuhao.
Electrolux nodded. For someone like Huo Yuhao who had a thirst for knowledge, he was now willing to explain.
Hyotei and Tenmeng Ice Silkworm straightened their postures, ready to listen to Electrolux's insights.
This opportunity to see how the Soul Master system is viewed through the eyes of extraterrestrial deities is unprecedented for the Douluo Continent.
Electrolux continued, "Actually, this kind of cultivation method of Soul Masters, whether in the Holy Demon Continent or other worlds, is uniformly referred to in historical documents as 'borrowing the false to cultivate the true,' which is an essential stage in the evolution of primitive civilizations into mature systems."
"That is, to achieve the purpose of communication between living organisms and natural elements by using external forces."
Huo Yuhao, Bingdi, and Tianmeng Bingcan were all deeply shaken.
This was knowledge they had never heard of before, and it could very well point directly to the true meaning of the evolution of the cultivation path.
Even Huo Yuhao is the same.
The Tianxuan Continent boasts an extremely complete system, both in terms of Yuan Power and Talisman Master systems.
Furthermore, since the Martial Ancestor was almost always busy with wars, and his exposure to martial arts was through initiation or by observing the evolution of the Ancestral Stone, Huo Yuhao had no understanding of the evolution of the cultivation path.
He listened intently, concentrating on the information, believing it to be of great reference value for his future exploration of nurturing the spirit through the physical body and achieving nirvana of the soul.
