Chapter 187 - 187 156 Zhang Yu Initiates the Ritual

187: Chapter 156: Zhang Yu Initiates the Ritual 187: Chapter 156: Zhang Yu Initiates the Ritual Ever since becoming a disciple of the Evil God, Song Xu began to study a technique called Ritual.

In Song Xu’s view, rituals have a lot in common with talismans.

“Talismans can be performed smoothly everywhere, mobilizing the power of the Eight True Gods, thanks to the advanced infrastructure of Kunxu, especially the network spread everywhere.”

“And the similarity between rituals and talismans is that they can also be performed through the network.”

“You can even steal divine power through the network and convert it into Evil God Power for use…”

Compared to the widespread use of talismans, while rituals are not as broadly applicable, they have their unique advantages.

For instance, they can evade surveillance and recording by the True Gods, and be used for things outside the rules.

Just like the Curse Shadow Ritual that Song Xu is about to activate, it refines a Shadow Gu with Evil God Power, parasitizing the opponent’s shadow, continually stealing various information from them.

However, to activate the Curse Shadow Ritual, contact through the Spirit Realm is necessary.

After all, a regular network connection can’t directly reach the other party’s consciousness like the Spirit Realm can.

At this moment, Song Xu’s heart stirred slightly, already seeing Zhang Yu’s presence in the Spirit Realm.

“Here they come!”

Spirit Realm.

At the entrance of the Asking Hall.

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, along with Yu Xinghan, were walking outside.

However, throughout the journey, the three did not speak but silently digested their respective gains from the illusion.

Zhang Yu recalled his experience in the illusion, tirelessly working on an assembly line, rising up in despair…

“It feels like experiencing another life.”

“No wonder they say the Spirit Realm is the best place to temper the Dao Heart.”

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, “Experiencing these things in reality would probably require a huge cost, right?”

At the same time, in Zhang Yu’s mind, he was observing a large, crippled bull, blind and deaf, crawling forward, never stopping.

However, compared to the previous contemplation of the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique, the bull in this vision contained a spirit of fearlessness and unwavering determination.

Evidently, as the understanding of the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique deepened, Zhang Yu’s operation of the mental method significantly improved.

Especially, the greater the pressure he faced, the stronger the effect of the mental method.

The more desperate the situation, the more he could unleash his inner potential.

Like after leaving the illusion, when Zhang Yu recalled the unpaid loans on him and the pressure the Xiandu Masters brought during the Foundation Establishment Exam.

Instead of retreating, his heart was filled with more enthusiasm.

“Although this visit cost nearly 100,000 bucks, the effect was truly amazing.”

“This enhancement in my understanding of the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique will boost the effects of my mental method and Dao Heart in daily operation, even without enough money to come here again.”

Beside him, Bai Zhenzhen was also immersed in her newfound understanding of the mental method.

“The Cold Soul Ice Heart Technique originally focused on calmness and composure, and at level ten, it allows me to suppress emotions temporarily, becoming cold and ruthless, willing to stop at nothing for success.”

“But now…”

Bai Zhenzhen could feel that as her new understanding progressed and with the extrapolation of the True Spirit Root, the Cold Soul Ice Heart Technique was undergoing a transformation.

“Once completely extrapolated in two days, the new level ten effect will no longer make me cold and ruthless solely focused on gains.”

“Instead, it will allow me to follow my heart, act against the odds, even if the risks are high and the success rate is low, becoming even calmer, while my brain, body, and mana also become more active…”

If the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique initially contained profound meaning that enhanced as Zhang Yu’s understanding deepened,

the Cold Soul Ice Heart Technique was different.

It evolved through Bai Zhenzhen’s mindset change and different understanding of the mental method, which was extrapolated through the True Spirit Root.

This made the mental method more suited to Bai Zhenzhen’s thoughts, even causing the level ten effect to change.

At this time, Yu Xinghan, watching the thoughtful appearances of the two, smiled slightly and said, “You two seem to have gained a lot this time.

Shall we come again tomorrow?”

Hearing Yu Xinghan’s suggestion, both Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen’s faces turned dark as they said, “Your prices are too high!”

Bai Zhenzhen said, “One trip costs nearly 100,000, it’s daylight robbery!”

Zhang Yu thought about his current balance of only a little over a hundred thousand, worried he wouldn’t have money left for food and exams if he came again.

Having collected the money, Yu Xinghan didn’t care about their complaints at all and said happily, “You two can come whenever you have the money.”

“You can contact me anytime, and I’ll arrange it for you as soon as possible.”

Moments later, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen disconnected from the Spirit Realm, waking up together in reality.

However, just as Zhang Yu removed the Spirit Realm Mask in his apartment, he heard Fu Ji say, “Oh, someone’s targeting you?”

Without showing any emotion, Zhang Yu walked into the bathroom and closed the door before saying, “What do you mean?”

Fu Ji said, “Someone has performed a ritual through the Spirit Realm and placed a Shadow Gu on you.”

“Hehe, this Shadow Gu can parasitize in your shadow day and night, gather your information, and then transfer it all to them.”

“Over time, they could figure out everything about you.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yu was shocked, “Is it already…?”

Fu Ji said, “Don’t worry, the Shadow Gu usually only gathers information in secret, hiding its presence without taking any action.”

“It won’t transmit information to the other party until you reconnect with the Spirit Realm.”

Zhang Yu slightly frowned, as this was something he absolutely couldn’t tolerate.

After all, he and Bai Zhenzhen had many secrets, and the exposure of any could spell disaster.

Fu Ji laughed, “Hehe, but the person who initiated this ritual certainly didn’t expect you to have an Evil God by your side.”

“And not just any Evil God, but one who once stood at the pinnacle of Evil Gods, just below the Evil God King, immediately noticing this little trick.”

Zhang Yu’s heart stirred at these words, thinking, “Right, in general circumstances, an Evil God would control their followers and disciples remotely as it’s the safest way.”

“The other side must have assumed I was also remotely controlled and attempted to pry into the Evil God behind me through me…”

Zhang Yu said, “An Evil God believer capable of performing rituals must be related to the Evil God behind Songyang High School or White Dragon High School, right?”

Zhang Yu remembered Fu Ji once saying that Evil Gods were behind Songyang High School and White Dragon High School and had urged him to hunt these two Evil Gods.

Unexpectedly, he hadn’t made a move yet, but the other side was already taking notice of him.

Zhang Yu guessed, “It seems someone among them already suspects there’s an Evil God behind me.”

Fu Ji: “Hard to say, it might also just be suspicion towards you, wanting to investigate.”

“But in any case, if someone’s using a ritual to check on you, they must be an Evil God believer.”

“Come on, kid.”

Fu Ji said lightly, “Immediately help me prepare, and I can initiate a ritual to help you take control of this Shadow Gu.”

“Then we’ll know who’s targeting you.”

And in Fu Ji’s heart, a trace of greedy desire was irrepressibly surfacing, “Haha, absorbing the power from this Shadow Gu might slightly restore me.”

Moments later, after saying goodbye to Bai Zhenzhen, Zhang Yu left the apartment alone.

Fu Ji originally intended to use this opportunity to probe whether Zhang Yu would want Bai Zhenzhen to learn about the Evil God, but after some thought, decided against it.

“This kid would definitely think I want to find a chance to perform the Desire Ritual on Bai Zhenzhen, stimulating her potential.”

“Although that’s indeed what I had in mind.”

“But he doesn’t trust me enough yet to let me make wishes for Bai Zhenzhen.

Discussing it now would only be counterproductive.”

“Forget it, the time isn’t ripe yet.

We’ll talk later.”

Over an hour later.

Zhang Yu returned to the unfinished building where he had once trained, carrying bags and bags with him.

After careful consideration, he still felt that this place was quieter, less likely to be disturbed, and harder to detect.

Then, under the guidance of the Evil God, he began to set up the ritual.

Fu Ji said, “The network you commonly use is, in essence, a type of Divine Power Network.”

“This Divine Power Network was initially only for the Eight True Gods, to facilitate their management of Kunxu, and was gradually opened to the public.”

“It forms the foundation for talisman use and is the underlying basis for the Eight True Gods to manage Kunxu.”

“You must know that the True God’s network covers most places in Kunxu, enabling talismans to be almost omnipotent through it.”

“But this network can also be traversed by us Evil Gods, which is why we’ve never been weaker than the True Gods.”

Zhang Yu thought to himself that this sounded much weaker than the True Gods, essentially like being a stowaway.

Fu Ji continued, “This time for our ritual, we also need to traverse the Divine Power Network, requiring a catalyst of divine power.”

“Things like incense, paper figures for worshiping the True Gods, statues, and puppets all count as simple and cheap methods and can be considered ritual offerings.”

Fu Ji sighed, “But now that online worship has become increasingly popular, these things are getting harder to find.”

Following Fu Ji’s guidance, Zhang Yu took out a half-used candle.

This was a candle someone else had used for worship, and Zhang Yu had bought one.

Fu Ji continued, “First is the altar, which is the point where the divine network connects during a ritual.

With our current humble conditions, just use that stool for now.”

“Besides the offering on the altar, you also need a medium for human-divine connection, a divine object to preserve spiritual essence, and a symbol of the Evil God’s incarnation.”

“Alas, though our conditions are limited right now, we must make do.”

“For the medium for the human-divine connection, use a mobile phone.

It can at least connect to the Divine Power Network.”

“Use those two flashlights for the divine object preserving spiritual essence; remember to turn the lights to the maximum.”

“You should know from practicing the Great Sun Qi Sea that light contains spiritual essence.

Leaving the flashlight on can, in the ritual, symbolize the fullness of spiritual essence, reduce the dissipation of divine power, which is called illuminating the heavenly court and delving into hell…”

“As for the symbol of the Evil God, use this teddy bear.

After all, we can’t really use an Evil God statue, can we?

Using a toy is precisely why we Evil Gods are hard to guard against.”

“Finally, remember to use wires to form the basic circle of the ritual, as copper is an excellent conductor of divine power, which when placed in the ritual, can bind the divine power…”
