The Lord of Void and Real

Although he could previously use water control to create water snakes and water eagles to attack his enemies, these water creatures were not powerful due to the softness of the water. Now that his water control technique has improved greatly, the creatures he forms with it are much more formidable.

However, he also knows that the power of his Water Manipulation Technique is due to the significant increase in his cultivation level and his recent growth in capability.

If he were in reality, even if he advanced to the Qi Refining Peak, he probably wouldn’t have such water manipulation power.

"I wonder if I can use the Technique of Taming Beasts and Summoning Spirits?” A thought struck Shen Luo, and he suddenly remembered the Art of Spirit Communication.

He had tried many times to use the Technique of Taming Beasts and Summoning Spirits, but all attempts had failed. Now that his cultivation level had made a rapid improvement, reaching the Qi Refining Peak, and his Skill level had advanced greatly, perhaps he might be able to do it.

Thinking of this, Shen Luo felt a surge of excitement. He carefully manipulated several streams of water to return to the pond, placed his palm on the surface, and softly operated the Spirit Communication Technique.

His vision immediately darkened, and his Divine Sense appeared in the pitch-black Sea of Consciousness space.

He heard a continuous pinging sound, and one by one, blue light spots appeared. They were of different sizes and densely packed, resembling countless stars in the night sky.

Shen Luo was somewhat surprised because the situation in front of him was slightly different from before.

Firstly, the number of blue light spots was much more than before, and secondly, the size of the light spots had also changed.

When he used the Art of Spirit Communication before, the blue light spots that appeared in his Sea of Consciousness were at most the size of broad beans. Now, the largest spot was as big as an egg.

Shen Luo directed his gaze at one of the largest blue light spots nearby, silently operated his Skills, and guided his Divine Sense to transfer over to it, while his body was tense, preparing for the pain caused by the mana disturbance that would occur if he failed.

However, the outcome was beyond his expectation; his Divine Sense extended smoothly, and effortlessly entered the blue light spot.

The blue light spot suddenly expanded hundreds of times, instantly filling his sensory range.

Shen Luo’s vision blurred, and by the time he reacted, he found himself in a vast, bluish space.

Blue light like waves flowed everywhere in the space, giving the impression of a vast blue sea.

Within the blue sea, there were numerous life forces hidden, dispersed in various places.

Probably due to the long distance, these forces were not very clear.

Looking around, Shen Luo was tremendously excited.

The Technique of Taming Beasts and Summoning Spirits had been half successful. The Nameless Heavenly Book had recorded that his Divine Sense was connecting him to some water area, and the forces under the water should be the demons in that water area.

However, to summon these demons, he needed first to subdue them and sign a Soul Contract.

Shen Luo immediately spread his Divine Sense to find the other party to subdue.

As he spread his Divine Sense, his perception of the Sea of Consciousness’s demon forces immediately became clearer.

These demon forces varied in strength. Most were stronger than him, and a few were particularly powerful, their strength towering like the sky and thick like the earth, countless times stronger than him.

Even Luo Daoist, Wu Pojia, the Three-Eyed Fox Demon, and others at the Grain Avoidance Stage, seemed extremely weak compared to these powerful forces.

"I wonder what level these powerful demons are at? Soul Condensation Stage? Nascent Soul Stage? Or even…” Upon detecting these powerful forces, Shen Luo immediately moved his Divine Sense away in fear, lest they noticed him.

Of course, not all the demons in this blue water area were stronger than him. There were also some that were about his level or even weaker.

Shen Luo ignored those weaker than him, focusing only on finding a demon slightly stronger than himself.

According to the records in the Nameless Heavenly Book, the Technique of taming beasts and summoning spirits can generally only subdue demons of similar strength or those weaker than oneself. However, if one can master the technique to perfection, they can also subdue demons that are a bit stronger than them.

At this moment, he felt invincible, operating the Technique of taming beasts and summoning spirits with an incredible ease. He aimed to subdue a formidable demon.

After searching for a while, Shen Luo quickly locked on a target. Its breath was slightly stronger than his, but not by much.

He operated the power of his divine sense just like before, slowly projecting it towards the target.

In a flash, a powerful demonic aura transmitted over, not weaker than the previous Three-Eyed Fox Demon, and much more formidable than those he sensed before.

Shen Luo hesitated a bit.

According to the Nameless Heavenly Book, if this Technique of taming beasts and summoning spirits succeeds, all’s well. However, if the subjugation fails, the consequences are severe. Not only will it drain a large amount of mana, but the mana and divine sense power within the body will also backlash against oneself.

This backlash is far more severe than the allergic reaction caused by the failure to communicate with the blue light in the Sea of Consciousness. All the meridians in the body would suffer damage, and it would take at least a month of bed rest to recover.

Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, but he decided to continue. Slowly, he began to operate the Technique of taming beasts and summoning spirits and attempted to communicate with the demon in front of him.

After all, he was currently in a dream state. Even if the spirit communication failed and caused harm to his body, he figured there was no big deal.

As Shen Luo operated the Technique of taming beasts and summoning spirits, the demon’s breath fluctuated a bit but then quieted down again, seemingly too lazy to pay him any mind.

Shen Luo continued to release his divine sense.

After a few attempts, it seemed the other party finally could no longer resist responding.

"Who dares to disturb me while I am cultivating!” A deep voice transmitted over, causing Shen Luo’s Sea of Consciousness to tremble slightly.

His heart shuddered a bit, and his estimation of the demon’s strength couldn’t help but increase slightly.

"I am Shen Luo, a cultivator from the Little Straw Mountain lineage. I am currently trying to practice the Art of Spirit Communication. Dear Aquatic Daoist, would you consider signing a soul contract with me?” Shen Luo boldly associated himself with the reputation of Little Straw Mountain.

"Soul Contract? Human cultivator, you insult me!” The deep voice was suddenly filled with rage, and the roaring sound caused his divine sense to tremble.

Shen Luo was not surprised. According to the Nameless Heavenly Book, most of the Demon Races are unruly and rebellious. The Art of Spirit Communication would restrict their freedom and make them feel enslaved. Those demons who have not yet opened up their spiritual wisdom might not mind, but most of the Demon Races that have awakened their spiritual wisdom would be unwilling to become someone else’s spirit beast.

"You need not be angry, Daoist friend. I can assure you that I will not put you in danger. Also, every time I summon you, I can offer some reward that you desire.” Shen Luo quickly stated his conditions.

"Young one! Out of respect for the ancestor of Little Straw Mountain, I can ignore your offense. Leave immediately!” The demon on the other end roared in a stern voice.

"Are you really not going to consider it, Daoist friend? There are also some benefits to becoming my spirit beast. Here, we are on land, and there are many spiritual materials that water areas do not have, which would definitely benefit your cultivation.” Shen Luo spoke with a soft voice.

"Roar!” The demon on the other end did not reply in words but responded with an ear-piercing roar.

This roar was not an ordinary howl. A shock wave transmitted from the roar, like a great hammer, hit hard on his Sea of Consciousness.

Shen Luo’s Sea of Consciousness hurt severely and his eyes dimmed. He couldn’t help feeling a little angry in his heart.

"Fine, since you are so uncooperative, let’s see if you can withstand my Art of Spirit Communication!” He snorted coldly and operated the forceful subjugation method in the Technique of taming beasts and summoning spirits.
