Chapter 383: Coercion and inducement

“Besides this secret art, are there any others?”

Qin Xuan directed his Mental Energy to the next one, and his eyes lit up again.

“Divine Control Great Law!”

Looking at this secret art, Qin Xuan’s heart stirred.

This was actually a secret art for mass control of Divine Souls.

“As long as this secret art is mastered, the user can use it to control Divine Souls to do things for him, but he must be able to completely suppress these weaker Divine Souls; otherwise, there will be a risk of backlash.”

“As a Cultivator’s Divine Soul grows stronger, the more Divine Souls he can control.”

Looking at the description on it, Qin Xuan’s heart stirred.

“Isn’t this equivalent to a tiger-type Spirit Beast? The Cultivators it kills all become its ghoul servants.”

“It seems that the master mentioned by those Soul Cultivators before used this method to control those Divine Souls.”

After watching for a long time, according to the description of this secret art, the more one Cultivates it, the stronger the control over Divine Souls becomes.

“One can even form an army of ghosts using this secret art!”

Qin Xuan pondered.

Besides these two secret arts, there were also some methods for Cultivating Divine Souls to enhance them.

To be honest, these methods were indeed good, but they were not very useful to Qin Xuan.

“How can Cultivating one’s own Divine Soul be as fast as devouring others’ Divine Souls?”

Qin Xuan shook his head.

This secret method was naturally useless to him.

Soon, Qin Xuan continued to look at other things.

“Corpse Puppet Refinement?”

Finally, Qin Xuan’s eyes lit up again.

After the Cultivation Technique were other things, including a method for refining Corpse Puppets.

“Using the Divine Soul of a Spirit Beast and the body of a deceased Cultivator, one can refine a Corpse Puppet together. This way, the Corpse Puppet’s intelligence will not be high, and it can be put to good use.”

Looking at the introduction, Qin Xuan’s heart stirred.

Once this type of Corpse Puppet was successfully refined, it could exert eighty percent of the corpse owner’s combat power.

Even though it was only eighty percent, this Corpse Puppet had astonishing defense and only attacked without defending.

If he could refine a few Yuqing Realm Corpse Puppets, Qin Xuan wouldn't need to act himself; he wouldn't be too worried within the Yuqing Realm, relying on the Corpse Puppets would be enough.

“One can also add iron essence, mithril, and other materials into it. Corpse Puppets refined in this way are very powerful.”

This was indeed a good thing.

Qin Xuan’s heart stirred.

If he could refine Corpse Puppets, it would be of considerable help to him.

After the Corpse Puppets were some methods on how to use Mental Energy attack spells.

“Yin God Method, Paper Man Substitution Art.”

Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows; these last two spells were somewhat unique.

The Yin God Method was similar to a curse; as long as one possessed another person's birth hour and date, along with their hair or clothing, one could summon a Yin God to cast a curse.

However, this method was insidious and could be said to be very malicious.

Summoning too many Yin Gods could easily lead to the Yin God controlling the body, thus turning one into a Yin God Puppet.

Even if one could resist the Yin God's erosion, it might still attract the Heavenly Dao’s punishment.

“This Yin God Art should be used sparingly, but this Paper Man Substitute is quite interesting.”

Qin Xuan tapped the cave wall, deep in thought.

The Paper Man Substitute was more like a variant of a Talisman. After writing the substitute Talisman on yellow paper and separating a portion of Divine Soul, the paper man would transform into the person's appearance.

Then the original owner could control the paper man to do dangerous things.

“This way, once danger is detected there, the paper man can be sent to investigate.”

Because there was a Divine Soul in the paper man, Qin Xuan could observe his surroundings through the paper man.

“It’s effective within a thousand li, truly a good thing. And once the paper man encounters trouble, that wisp of Divine Soul can immediately return, preventing any problems with the Divine Soul.”

Qin Xuan pondered the use of the paper man.

“Moreover, this paper man transforms according to my current figure, which means I can use the paper man to disguise myself as others to observe the situation.”

“This is indeed a good thing, and I also received the Legacy of Talismans previously.”

Qin Xuan pondered, feeling a little excited.

“That’s right, I captured these people this time; perhaps some of them are ambushing nearby. It would be a good idea to use these paper men to scout the way.”

After much thought, Qin Xuan contentedly put down the Jade Slip in his hand and nodded to the other party.

“Not bad, what you gave is indeed valuable, but you haven’t told me everything, have you?”

He forcefully raised the Jade Slip in his hand, and Qin Xuan looked at the other party with icy eyes.

“Tell me, what else have you hidden?”

“Hidden? How could that be? I’ve told you everything I know.”

Jin Ming’s eyes flickered with panic; it was clear he was still holding something back.

This fool, he can’t even pretend properly; it’s obvious there’s something wrong at a glance.

Qin Xuan didn’t bother with him, and a bolt of lightning shot out from the side, instantly striking Jin Ming’s Divine Soul.

Jin Ming screamed, struggling in pain.

“Still pretending? Do you think you can hide it from me? You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. If you don’t behave, you’ll die here!”

Qin Xuan flicked his finger, a bolt of lightning flashed past, his gaze as cold as a blade.

Hearing this, Jin Ming trembled all over, staring at Qin Xuan and hastily shaking his head.

“No, no more, truly only these. I’m just a Young Lord; I only possess these secret methods. There are truly no more complex secret methods.”

Could it be that there really was nothing left?

He had even used lightning to torture him, yet this Jin Ming still said there was nothing. Could it be that there really were no other secret methods?

A flicker of light passed through Qin Xuan’s eyes; he somewhat doubted if he had misjudged.

However, his gaze swept over, and seeing the hint of resentment in Jin Ming’s eyes, Qin Xuan understood.

You dare to play these tricks with me!

The corner of Qin Xuan’s mouth curved into a cold arc, and with a flick of his finger, a bolt of lightning swiftly struck Jin Ming.

“Fool!”

“You don’t really think this act can fool me, do you? I’ll give you one last chance. Don’t think I won’t perform Soul Search!”

Jin Ming trembled all over from the lightning strike, and just as he was about to struggle further, hearing the term Soul Search immediately made him shiver with fright.

“Soul, Soul Search, you can’t!”

Jin Ming said nervously, while Qin Xuan coldly shook his head.

“You’ll find out whether I can perform Soul Search soon enough. Since you won’t speak, then I’ll perform Soul Search!”

“Do you think a Cultivator with powerful Mental Energy like me wouldn’t even be able to perform Soul Search?”

Listening to these words, Jin Ming’s already nervous Divine Soul showed signs of disintegration.

“You can’t, I, my Divine Soul has a Restriction placed on it. If you forcefully perform Soul Search, you’ll get nothing…”

“What if I get nothing? Do you think you can threaten me with that? Ridiculous!”

“Let me tell you, your threats have no effect on me. If I’m displeased with you, I can kill you right now!”

“Anyway, since you’re unwilling to honestly tell me what you know, what does it matter if I forcefully perform Soul Search and turn you into an idiot now? Either way, I’ll get nothing, so devouring you after Soul Search is the same!”
