Chapter 245: Exchanging for an Immortal Tier Technique, Another Storm Brews

A brilliant light flashed in Qin Yu’s eyes.

“By thoroughly analyzing the *Dragon Tiger Military Pattern Technique*, I can make ‘military patterns’ grow directly onto the carapaces and skin of the Insect Swarm units, just like the innate patterns of the Gold-devouring Insects.

“With this Secret Technique as a reference, the efficiency of analyzing the Gold-devouring Insects’ Talent Secret Patterns will also greatly increase.”

After importing the contents of the *Dragon Tiger Military Pattern Technique* into the Insect Nest, it immediately began a new round of deduction and optimization, combining the technique with their existing battle arrays. There were many arrays within the Insect Swarm. For example, there was the Mystic Flood Dragon Battle Array tailor-made for the Flood Dragon King, the charging battle array centered around the Thunder Beasts, and the Thunderbolt Grand Array centered around the Thunder Rocs and Four-winged Black Thorn Eagles. By utilizing the *Dragon Tiger Military Pattern Technique* and the Gold-devouring Insects’ Secret Patterns, there was hope of completely transforming the entire Insect Swarm into an all-devouring Insect Tide, rather than just small-scale clusters.

After completing all this, Qin Yu resumed his cultivation, comprehending the *Infinite Wonders Skill* and the *Ten Thousand Swords Soul Seal* he had previously exchanged for. Leaving the *Infinite Wonders Skill* aside for now—as this all-encompassing Cultivation Technique required the entire Insect Swarm to jointly deduce it—the *Ten Thousand Swords Soul Seal*, like the *Tower of Void*, was a method for tempering and utilizing Soul Power. However, while the *Tower of Void* condensed a Tower of Soul within the Sea of Consciousness to protect one’s soul from external intrusion, the *Ten Thousand Swords Soul Seal* was a purely offensive Soul Attack technique!

By cultivating this method, one could condense their Soul Power into a special “sword-shaped Soul Seal” within their soul. This seal could directly attack an enemy’s soul and forcibly tear it apart. Even if it couldn’t directly tear the soul apart, causing the enemy to fall into a momentary daze during battle would be enough to instantly slay them! In addition to this, the condensed Soul Seal could also be attached to controlled objects, drastically enhancing their attack power and improving object control. The only drawback was that the composition of the Soul Seal was extremely complex. Aside from requiring top-tier soul talent, it demanded immense control over Soul Force to successfully condense it after repeated practice.

He wondered, “Is this the Ten Thousand Swords Soul Seal?”

After over a hundred failures within Qin Yu’s Sea of Consciousness, his formless Soul Power finally transformed into an illusory mark that floated before his eyes. For ordinary geniuses, this step would take months, perhaps even years. But Qin Yu’s soul was simply too strong! He was the Dominator of the Insect Swarm; he was the will of the Swarm! When his strength broke through to the Qi Sea Realm, his soul could move freely within the Insect Swarm’s Mind Network, and his soul continuously improved under the Swarm’s feedback.

Even experts at the Peak of the Primordial Mansion Realm might not match him purely in terms of Soul Force. He could even rival those in the Myriad Phenomena Realm. Under the Insect Nest’s auxiliary control, he rapidly mastered this power after just a few hundred attempts.

HUMM!

Twelve Flowing Light Flying Sabers flew out from his waist, circling him at extreme speed, as agile as swimming fish. With a single thought, the illusory Soul Seal merged with one of the flying sabers. Like bringing a painted dragon to life by dotting its eyes, the flying saber seemed to come alive. Its flight was filled with spirituality, and its speed increased drastically.

Soul Power fluctuated within Qin Yu’s Sea of Consciousness as a second Soul Seal condensed and appeared. His Soul Force was already vast and boundless under the enhancement of the Swarm’s network. Having successfully condensed the first one, forming the subsequent ones was simply a matter of course.

The first level of the *Ten Thousand Swords Soul Seal* contained a massive amount of information, primarily divided into three chapters: “Condense,” “Combine,” and “Transform.” Among them, “Condense” was the foundation, detailing how to form the Soul Seals. The “Combine” chapter was the elevation, explaining how to make numerous Soul Seals work in synergy to form a specific Soul Seal Sword Array, thereby unleashing greater power. The “Transform” chapter focused on actual combat, covering the various changes and countermeasures of the Sword Arrays.

“Cultivating the *Ten Thousand Swords Soul Seal* tempers the soul, making it more condensed and razor-sharp.

“Among the many Soul Seal Arrays, the ‘Hundred Blades Soul Slaughter Array’ is the most powerful. It can condense a hundred Soul Seals for a direct Soul Attack, or it can control treasures to launch an offensive!”

Qin Yu calmed his mind and immersed himself in comprehension.

The Alpha-level Middle Grade *Ten Thousand Swords Soul Seal* was extremely profound. Unlike the *Godslaying Soul-Slaying Saber*, this was a pure soul utilization method, so there were no conflicts between them. And he wasn’t the only one cultivating! Some of the entities with stronger souls in the Insect Swarm, such as the Hive Guards and Soul Devouring Spiders, also began attempting to cultivate it. A Cultivation Technique wasn’t just meant to elevate his individual strength alone! This was especially true for pure soul utilization methods like this.

At the same time, an in-depth analysis of the *Ten Thousand Swords Soul Seal* technique had already commenced. The Swarm began deducing how to apply this Soul Attack method, along with the *Tower of Void*, across the entire Insect Swarm’s Mind Network. The goal was to achieve both offense and defense for the entire Swarm’s Mind Network! Individual improvement meant little to the Insect Swarm. The most important reason he had purchased these Soul Techniques had always been to figure out how to elevate the entire Swarm’s Mind Network.

Meanwhile, while Qin Yu was completely immersed in his cultivation, True Monarch of the Infinite, far away in the Demon Suppression Bureau Headquarters of the State City, received information about Qin Yu once again. Whenever he paid special attention to someone, all related intel would naturally aggregate to him.

“*Godslaying Soul-Slaying Saber*, *Eight Desolates Dragon Elephant Demon Suppression Body*, Dragon Elephant Cub, and Void Cyan Snake? Quite bold. He gets his hands on some Merit Points and spends them all in the blink of an eye.”

A faint smile appeared on the silver-haired True Monarch of the Infinite’s face. He wasn’t the least bit annoyed that Qin Yu had purchased two more Immortal Tier Techniques. Any other Primordial Spirit Realm almighty might have furiously berated him for biting off more than he could chew and being overly greedy. But he was different. Cultivating the *Infinite Wonders Skill* required one to be as inclusive as the ocean receiving a hundred rivers—absorbing all their essences to eventually reign over a myriad of Daos! This Cultivation Technique was fundamentally unlearnable unless one was a peerless genius! Moreover, he already knew that Qin Yu practiced Body Refining Methods, had practiced Sword Skills since childhood, and possessed a powerful soul.

“The Mother of Ten Thousand Worms… what kind of Exotic Beast is that? To think that even I have never heard of it. However, in ancient times, there were indeed certain lifeforms that excelled in reproduction.

“If it can reproduce the Dragon Elephant Cub and the Void Cyan Snake as well, that would truly be logic-defying.”

True Monarch of the Infinite toyed with the warm Ancient Jade in his hand.

“Then I’ll lend you a hand. A Dragon Elephant with such a thin bloodline is too weak. There seems to be an Ancient Dragon Elephant cub left in the Treasure Vault.

“As for the Void Cyan Snake, we can also swap it for one with a richer bloodline.”

Before his voice even faded, True Monarch Five Elements, who was sitting opposite him, laughed.

“Wuji! You haven’t even taken him in as a disciple yet, and you’re already handing out benefits?

“That Ancient Dragon Elephant cub isn’t some ordinary Exotic Beast. The Divine-Demonic Bloodline within its body is quite dense. It’s worth ten million Merit Points!

“And another thing!

“You actually sent out your Second Primordial Spirit to block the entrance of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect! They’ve already come knocking to complain.”

True Monarch of the Infinite casually downed the crystal-clear Fine Wine on the table in one gulp and curled his lips.

“Those old fogeys asked for a beating! I already put the word out, yet they still dared to go to Yunlong County. Merely blocking their door is already giving them face!”

“Hahaha! Just as expected of you!”

Time slowly passed. Three days later.

While Qin Yu was cultivating in peace, the goods promised by the Treasure Pavilion were delivered. The Three-legged Fire Crow corpse, the Profound Armor Earth Dragon Egg, the Thunder Flood Dragon corpse, the Dragon Mirage corpse, and that Alpha-level Low Grade Beast Taming Ring with an internal diameter of five hundred *zhang*—all arrived!

Qin Yu immediately handed the three precious Exotic Beast Corpses and the Profound Armor Earth Dragon Egg to the Insect Nest for in-depth analysis. The Thunder Flood Dragon corpse, in particular, was crucial. Although it lacked a Dragon Pearl, the Thunder Attribute Dragon Blood Essence contained within its flesh, bones, and scales was vitally important for enhancing the Thunderstruck Flood Dragon and Thunder Rocs. As for the Beast Taming Ring, he refined it immediately. Its internal space was immensely vast, easily enough to accommodate multiple Leviathans and tens of thousands of Insect Race units!

On the fifth day.

When the Demon Suppression Bureau emissary appeared, delivering the two Immortal Tier Techniques—the *Godslaying Soul-Slaying Saber* and the *Eight Desolates Dragon Elephant Demon Suppression Body*—along with the Dragon Elephant Cub and the Void Cyan Snake, Qin Yu immediately began his cultivation and analysis without the slightest hesitation!

At the same time, the Insect Swarm was frantically expanding across the wilderness, pushing outward toward the surrounding County Cities. They hunted down Evil Demons and Demon Fiends on the Demon Suppression Bureau’s wanted list one by one in exchange for Merit Points.

However, sooner or later, one’s luck was bound to run out.

He wondered, “Is this a trap? Or did we hook a big fish?”
