Cultivation through Skin Making

The chang ghost strikes the divine soul, seizing possession and committing suicide...

This kind of unusual divine soul attack, Song Yan is also using for the first time.

After he finished casting, he grabbed the two still-dazed wild boars and gracefully departed, walking through the forest path that wasn't quite a mountain trail, stepping on last winter's fallen leaves and old vines.

The crisp sound of "kacha kacha" relaxed his mood while he started contemplating his current power.

He now actually has three "spell systems," with three corresponding attack methods.

...

First, the magic based on "Shadow Puppet."

This is based on puppetry, the Shadow Master methods in "Hundred Forms Divine Control," and his own understanding of "Hundred Forms Demon Body." It can be said to be a combination of offense and defense, but to be blunt... this is a "summoning spell" with a long "casting animation."

He must first activate the shadow puppet to use "Hundred Forms Demon Body."

And "Hundred Forms Demon Body" also involves a brief process of devouring and self-transformation.

If he truly encounters a strong enemy, the opponent may not give him the time to complete the spell.

This determines that his immediate emergency outburst capability is a shortcoming.

However, because of the strength of the shadow puppet, the upper limit of "Hundred Forms Demon Body" is extremely high, at least Song Yan feels that using it for the entire Crimson Palace Realm is no problem.

This is a kind of bug spell that can be learned at the Refining Profound level, yet remains powerful in the Crimson Palace.

...

Second, the sword system spell.

This is based on the "Illusionary Sword Transformation Manual," further modified by his own Evil Qi with the Sword Control Technique.

Fast explosion, quick action, straightforward and direct, although not very functional, it only serves to "kill kill kill," but its virtue lies in having no "casting animation," being simple, and ready to use anytime, anywhere.

Song Yan's "Black and White Double Evil" is still pretty good, but after all, this is a spell intended for the Refining Profound level...

...

Third, divine soul offense and defense.

Using "Changwang Tiger Blood" as the core, it makes him invincible in resisting divine soul attacks while also accumulating cheng ghosts.

The acquisition of "Night Candle Soul Worm Blood" has given the chang ghosts the ability to strike brutally at night.

This method is the most effective in killing without a trace.

But... in battles of the same realm, except for the bizarre attack method, it is considered weaker.

...

During his time in recluse at Chao Li County, Grandma Fox had talked to him about "Crimson Palace Realm" spells.

Obtaining "essence blood" is of course the first step, which is similar to the realm improvement at the Refining Profound level.

Further mastering spells can maximize the power of the realm.

In this regard, demons and the human race differ.

Demons, any race that can become demons, are inherently superior to humans in "physical quality." This is evident from the fact that their bodily organs and skin can be made into Profound Artifacts, while humans' cannot.

Therefore, demons will develop a set of "essence blood secret techniques" suitable for themselves based on their own racial blood.

The human race, on the other hand, needs to use the Crimson Palace Pill to break through the realm, so in terms of "blood" itself in the Crimson Palace Realm, it is inevitably weaker than demons.

However, the human race does not limit itself to researching "secret techniques of the race's essence blood" like demons. They broadly utilize external objects like weapons, talismans, arrays, and shadow puppets.

Hence, the human race focuses on "spells," with integrated essence blood as supplemental.

Although Song Yan has obtained 'Changwang Tiger Blood,' to move further, he can either spend thousands of years in a "black room" with "no practice, no communication, making things behind closed doors" to comprehend spells, or he can "stand on the shoulders of giants" to seek the "essence blood secret techniques" of the Changwang Tiger Race and the human race's "Crimson Palace Level spells."

History and power progress in practice, in the life-and-death collisions of various geniuses and races, and even in various accidental coincidences; making things behind closed doors for a hundred million, a billion, five billion years still results in a nautilus remaining a nautilus, and a monkey remaining a monkey.

The greatest role of his "Remaining Life Dao Fruit" is not creating from nothing, but skipping "others' cultivation time," avoiding "others' potential cultivation errors, and even going into deviation," as well as a certain extent of "spell mutation," creating stronger spells.

...

...

Returning to the Candle Land Secret Realm, Song Yan felt similar to when he was on the South Bamboo Peak, returning to the Suspended Room, and returning to the Cave Mansion.

It was about working all day, then going home to sleep at night.

The winding brook trickled, flickering like a jiggling silver ribbon in the moonlight.

Soil, tree-leaf moisture from the primordial forest mixed together and wafted into his nose.

He chose a woodland by the river, tossed the two wild boars there, and then leapt to the top of the cliff.

Here, he had already built a wooden house facing the sea of clouds, witnessing the tides rising in the morning, falling in the evening...

However, even though the fog rises at night, it's no longer a bloody mist, nor does it hide specters anymore.

Inside the wooden house, there's only a hard wooden bed.

If any bedding, daily necessities, or household items were needed, one would have to go to the town to purchase them.

He entered the house, lay down on the wooden bed immediately, rested his head on his arms, stretched his legs comfortably, and was taking a short nap when suddenly he heard noise in the distance.

Song Yan darted out for a look, only to see the two wild boars he left in the woodland by the river had woken up and were now frantically running around, making "oink oink" sounds.

Suddenly, the two wild boars made "I'm about to be killed" noises, screaming sharply, their legs turning soft as they madly dashed westward.

In the east, on the small river, a Profound Robe maiden was seen supporting a bamboo pole, standing on a small log, with her eyes covered by a black veil, flanked by a clump of black clouds, coming in this direction.
