Chapter 218 Myths and Legends

Looking at the Beast Taming Incantation in his hand, Qin Shilei's eyes lit up.

Could this be a secret manual that could be cultivated repeatedly?

The top hundred on the leaderboard had over ninety people who were Silver realm powerhouses, indicating that many people had not advanced to the Silver realm due to a lack of cultivation methods, or rather, a lack of cultivation methods of satisfactory quality.

If this were truly a secret manual that everyone could cultivate.

Then it would be an extremely valuable item for the people of the City of Hope.

At that time, everyone could smoothly advance to the Silver realm with its help.

As for the ability to tame exotic beasts after successful cultivation, that was not particularly precious.

Because the Scroll of Contracts could achieve the same goal with ease.

Qin Shilei carefully read the Beast Taming Incantation once.

"......"

He could understand most of the words, but when they were put together, he was completely confused.

"I wonder if An Qian and the others can understand this Beast Taming Incantation?"

Qin Shilei had no choice but to put away the Beast Taming Incantation and reached out to pick up the golden cicada to examine it.

However, as soon as his hand touched the ice cicada, he suddenly felt his vision go black, and he found himself in a hazy gray space.

Qin Shilei looked around and knew this was his spiritual space.

Just then, an uncle in his fifties or sixties, riding a giant ice cicada, flew towards him.

"Heaven truly favors me, allowing my soul to be preserved within the ice cicada, and to meet someone who can possess me just as I was about to vanish."

The person looked exactly like Xu Leyou, the owner of the ice house, and was now looking at Qin Shilei with shining eyes.

"Possession?" Qin Shilei had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Precisely, the conditions for possession are extremely harsh. Furthermore, even if a person who dies of old age possesses another, they will quickly die from soul depletion. I am one who died of old age, but I can perform possession because I absorbed the soul power of the ice cicada."

Because he could be resurrected again, Xu Leyou, who was filled with joy, patiently explained to Qin Shilei.

"Did people who could move mountains and seas truly exist in ancient times?" Qin Shilei asked again.

"Are there no such powerful individuals now?" Xu Leyou retorted.

"Before the apocalypse, the maximum strength of humans was only a few hundred jin, and even the simplest ability of leaping over walls and running on rooftops had become a legend," Qin Shilei replied.

"Has the spiritual energy become so sparse, or is there no spiritual energy on Blue Star at all?" Xu Leyou asked in surprise.

As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed again, "Let me find out for myself."

As soon as he spoke, he lunged at Qin Shilei.

Qin Shilei waved his hand and unleashed a bolt of lightning towards the other.

However, the lightning was shattered by an ice arrow casually shot by the other.

Before Qin Shilei could unleash another bolt of lightning, the other had already pounced on his body.

"Your body is mine."

"Ding, detected that the host is being possessed by an unknown creature, commencing cleansing."

Instantly, Qin Shilei's soul body emitted a colorful glow.

"What the hell is this?"

Xu Leyou scrambled out of Qin Shilei's soul body in panic.

However, as soon as his upper body emerged, a powerful force appeared out of nowhere and quickly dragged him back.

"Let me go quickly..."

Qin Shilei only heard Xu Leyou's terrified scream in his ears, and then everything returned to calm.

"......"

Did Xu Leyou get wiped out by the All-Things Attribute Refreshment System?

A surge of powerful soul force rushed into Qin Shilei's soul body.

Qin Shilei felt incredibly comfortable, as if he had eaten a Ginseng Fruit, and at the same time, a piece of memory flashed rapidly in his mind.

Those memories did not cause him any adverse effects.

Qin Shilei watched Xu Leyou's entire life unfold before him, as if watching a movie.

It felt like a long time had passed, and yet it also felt like only an instant.

Qin Shilei's senses returned to reality from his spiritual sea.

By witnessing Xu Leyou's life experiences, he also gained some understanding of certain myths and legends.

In ancient times on Blue Star, there truly were powerhouses who could fly and tunnel.

In Xu Leyou's memories, the strongest could shatter a mountain hundreds of meters high with a single blow.

Of course, in Xu Leyou's era, there were only a handful of such masters.

Later, the spiritual energy on Blue Star gradually declined, and everyone's strength regressed instead of advancing.

As everyone panicked, someone suddenly discovered a world with even more abundant spiritual energy than the ancient era of Blue Star.

To maintain their strength, many people invaded that world.

Xu Leyou, possessing this Ice Secret Realm, had an abundance of spiritual energy within it, so he did not join them in entering that world.

As time passed, the vast majority of the powerhouses went to that world.

At that moment, that world suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.

As Xu Leyou felt fortunate not to have gone to that world, he suddenly discovered that the spiritual energy on Blue Star was disappearing even faster, and he could only hide in the harsh Ice Secret Realm to survive.

The last time he emerged from the secret realm, he found that the spiritual energy outside was already very thin, and it was difficult for humans to embark on the path of cultivation.

The many powerhouses who had remained on Blue Star in the past either died of old age or in battle due to the dissipation of spiritual energy.

Xu Leyou, after leaving behind a Gu Worm Sacred Canon for his descendants, sealed himself within the Ice Secret Realm.

"Since humans in the past could cultivate into powerhouses with various secret manuals, now that spiritual energy has revived, can we re-learn the cultivation methods and secret manuals left behind from ancient times?"

Qin Shilei's mind began to stir.

Even so, he quickly thought that even Xu Leyou, who had exceptional talent, had to cultivate for thirty to forty years to reach a strength equivalent to the Silver realm, and for the stronger Golden realm, it would take two to three hundred years.

And he had only taken a little over a month to advance to the Silver realm.

When calculated this way, the speed at which survivors advanced after Blue Star became systematized was something the ancients could only dream of.

However, it could not be said that the cultivation methods left behind from ancient times were entirely useless; at the very least, they could be used as a reference, and even some of their offensive techniques could be learned.

Qin Shilei secretly made a note to collect some divine cultivation manuals in the future, and then took out the Beast Taming Incantation again.

He still couldn't understand it. He had only witnessed most of Xu Leyou's life experiences and had not absorbed his knowledge.

[Do you wish to perform attribute refreshment?]

[Refresh.]

Optimization (Green): After optimization, the incantation becomes easier to cultivate, and its power is slightly increased.

Easy to Understand (Red): Allows humans to comprehend the Beast Taming Incantation more easily.

Systematization (Red): After systematization, humans can quickly master the Beast Taming Incantation.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Shilei took out his phone and took pictures of the text on the beast skin. Then, he chose the "Systematization" attribute.

He had a thought in his mind.

In the future, he would make several copies of this Beast Taming Incantation, and then refresh the copied incantations.

If he were lucky enough to refresh "Systematization" again, wouldn't that allow many people to cultivate quickly?

The only difficulty was the great randomness of the refreshment.
