Summit of the Old Gods-Chapter 1133 - 1056: Terrifying Divine Technique!

Lu Ran had long understood why there were no Spring of Oblivion Stone Sculptures in the sculpture garden.

The stone sculptures in the garden were gradually constructed using the souls of the Human Clan believers who died in battle and the Evil Demon minions by Lord Immortal Sheep.

And Wang Quan... where would followers come from?

There was only Li Rouyin, whom Wang Quan treated as a treasure, guarding her every day.

Although Wang Quan possessed Double Divine Position and could create Evil Demon minions, the myriad gods and demons imprisoned her here, not allowing her any action.

Her designation was that of a God, so Wang Quan neither would nor could create Evil Demon minions to invade the Human World.

Thus, the sculpture garden lacks this special stone sculpture.

No worries!

Now that Divine·Forget Spring has already submitted to Ran Sect, Lu Ran can directly request this sect’s energy from her to build his own stone sculpture in the garden.

With this thought in mind, Lu Ran listened particularly attentively when Lord Wang Quan introduced the sect’s Divine Techniques!

After all, everything she possessed in terms of skills, Lu Ran would also possess.

"Jingle jingle~"

In the Rebirth Hall, the Red Silk Rain gently swayed, continuously touching the Ancient Copper Coins.

Amidst the wailing sounds of countless dead souls, Lu Ran attentively listened to Lord Wang Quan’s soft whispers.

The Forget Spring Sect possesses a total of eight Divine Techniques!

In terms of the number of skills, she should be comparable to a Second-class God.

Additionally, the Forget Spring Sect has the rare Voidification trait!

Lu Ran nodded repeatedly as he listened.

Indeed, being a special existence, it even comes with a trait.

The first skill is called Rebirth Money, which is not a Magic Artifact Fragment but a namesake Divine Skill.

Wang Quan can scatter a large number of illusory Ancient Copper Coins, freely manipulating them to bind and imprison souls. Since the Rebirth Money exists in the Soul Dimension, it is not affected by the material dimension.

In a word: Strong!

This means that no matter how chaotic the battlefield becomes, Wang Quan can smoothly seize souls.

The second skill is the Hundred Coins Soul Robe. Wang Quan can use dead souls as material to create special copper coins, then weave them into a unique garment.

Unlike the clothing of various Divine Sects, the Hundred Coins Soul Robe does not have a defensive effect.

Its existence is even invisible to ordinary people.

But can be heard!

Under the unique effects of the Divine Skill, the Copper Coin garment made from dead souls crosses dimensions in a rudimentary way, breaking into the material world in the form of "sound."

The piercing wails of dead souls carry a remarkable intimidating effect!

Any creature daring to approach Wang Quan would have trembling souls, thereby affecting combat performance and possibly fleeing in fear.

Lu Ran clicked his tongue in wonder.

The first two skills are quite something, indeed... quite flashy.

Overall, compared to the Tomb, it’s not even in the same league.

Lu Ran does not need to scatter Rebirth Money, as wherever his gaze falls, thousands of dead souls are under his control.

It doesn’t matter if they’re living or dead, both would tremble under his cross-shaped pupils, and even Wang Quan couldn’t escape.

Lu Ran, with just a glance, could dismantle the "Hundred Coins Soul Robe" directly.

As long as it’s a dead soul, regardless of its form, whether as Copper Coins or garment...

It all falls under his control!

The Third Divine Skill, Rebirth Debt, allows Wang Quan to extract energy from dead souls to assist in cultivation, nourishing and strengthening herself.

After achieving River Grade, the skill can be reversed, used to nourish dead souls and help them persist for a long duration.

Lu Xing, his father, remained for a long time with the help of this skill, waiting for Lu Ran to come and take him.

The Fourth Divine Skill, Forget Spring Eyes, can see things in the Soul Dimension.

But this skill has a flaw! Mortal eyes cannot withstand the eerie energy that crosses the boundaries of life and death; Wang Quan’s disciples gradually become blind.

Hearing this, Lu Ran shook his head quietly.

His Pupil of the Dead World is far more advanced than Forget Spring Eyes...

Presumably, Li Rouyin went blind because of this skill.

The Fifth Divine Skill, Forget Spring Heart, is a standard Spirit Defense Technique.

But the sixth Divine Technique truly made Lu Ran’s heart race! He restrained himself from interrupting Lord Wang Quan, patiently listening to her continue describing the major skill.

As a Second-class God, Wang Quan has two major skills.

The skill suited for the River Realm, Divine Skill--Yellow Springs Road Guide, can summon many unseen paths to siphon souls from the battlefield, absorbing them into Wang Quan’s body.

Quickly replenishing energy and healing herself.

The more numerous the souls on the battlefield, and the higher their realm, the stronger the recovery and healing effects!

Lu Ran’s expression became peculiar as he listened.

What a... hmm, unique Healing Technique.

So you not only use dead souls for cultivation and energy extraction, but can also use them to heal injuries?

Impressive!

After acquiring this skill for himself in the future, it could be quite interesting to play with.

The major skill for the Sea Realm, Forget River Silence, is even more remarkable!

Wang Quan can summon an invisible Forget River, continuously extracting energy from all dying lives on the battlefield, sweeping all souls into its torrents to become part of her strength.

Wherever the river flows, all things wither, continuously impacting the enemy’s soul.

"Good." Lu Ran nodded in satisfaction.

Wang Quan bowed respectfully, with much humility: "They are but minor tricks."

Lu Ran didn’t continue the topic, and finally asked the question he had held in for a long time: "Can you explore the memories of living beings?"

Wang Quan immediately corrected: "The memories of dead souls."

Seeing Lu Ran’s keen interest, Wang Quan repeated the sixth Divine Technique carefully and thoroughly introduced it:

"Our sect’s Divine Skill--Floating Life Coin, can search and extract a key memory from a dead soul’s past life and turn it into a special copper coin."

Wang Quan paused, then continued: "Any creature struck by this coin will instantly experience the most extreme emotions from that memory.

For example, partings of life and death, which can cause significant mental shock to the enemy."

Lu Ran pursed his lips, unconcerned with the latter part.

As the Lord of Gods and Demons, he had many spiritual output skills; why would he use such a cumbersome technique in battle?

Of course, if the Floating Life Coin were prepared in advance and turned into a money chain hung at the waist, to be thrown out directly when needed, it wouldn’t be impossible.

But Lu Ran still found it troublesome.

He could just shout everything into existence.

Whether the opponent was stunned, afraid, or lost sanity was all under Lu Ran’s control.

Hence, he truly cared about the first part—searching a dead soul’s memory!

"So, if I give you a dead soul, you can inform me of everything this person experienced in their life in detail?" Lu Ran inquired.

Wang Quan shook his head immediately: "A dead soul’s memories are often very blurry; the closer to the moment of death, the clearer the memories become.

If you trace further back, only the most unforgettable memories will be very clear."

"I see." Lu Ran nodded lightly.

That’s good enough!

Forget about gods and demons; for a human who lives only about a hundred years, most of their life’s experiences are rather mundane, right?

The Divine Skill--Floating Life Coin can clearly see only the most unforgettable memories, rather like flipping through a thick book to the most important pages.

And highlighting the key sections among them.

In this light, building a Spring of Oblivion Stone Sculpture in the garden must be on the schedule!

"Does it have to be a dead soul?" Lu Ran asked suddenly.

Wang Quan confirmed with a nod: "A living being is a natural barrier.

No matter how fragile a human body’s barrier is, I cannot cross the barrier of life to treat the soul as equivalent to a dead soul and extract memories directly."

Lu Ran slightly raised an eyebrow.

You may not be able to cross the barrier of life, but I can!

For a tomb, a soul is merely a dead soul temporarily residing inside a living being.

In Lu Ran’s world, the boundary between life and death is extremely blurred.

That is to say...

The more Lu Ran thought about it, the more excited he became.

He should be able to directly probe the memories of the living!

Perhaps even go a step further and extract a section of their memory directly?

If so, wouldn’t the other party become "amnesiac"?

This move seems a bit ruthless...

Take Little Ruyi, for example, if you extract all her memories of the past ten years, would she still remember who she is?

If you catch a Jade Venerable and extract all her memories...

Would she still remember who she is and what she should do?

In Lu Ran’s speculation, the Jade Venerable was split, and if one part is damaged, it will likely affect the other counterparts.

This is not baseless speculation!

Fairy Jiang once shared relevant information:

In the battle on Heroine Divine Mountain, after Lu Ran killed the Jade Venerable, the Jade Venerable’s army in the Northwest, without any sign, halted its advance and then retreated.

The two battlefields were far apart, so how did the Northwest army receive intelligence from the Southeast battlefield so swiftly?

Thus, Lu Ran believed that some aspects of the original bodies were interconnected.

Because of this, before bringing the Jade Venerable’s Divine Soul into the Sculpture Garden, Lu Ran particularly tore her into countless soul fragments.

Returning to the method against the enemy, could he affect the other, remaining Jade Venerables by extracting the memory of one?

Why not give it a try?

Lu Ran couldn’t help but lick his lips.

But remembered something, being doused from head to toe with cold water.

"Sigh..." Lu Ran let out a long sigh.

What a pity.

Lord Wang Quan is not a product of the Sculpture Garden. He can’t be captured and stuffed into the backyard.

"Is there something bothering the Sect Leader?" Wang Quan was eager to offer relief to Lu Ran. "If you want to probe the memory of a particular being, just bring their dead soul, and I can help you."

Lu Ran snapped back, pondered for a moment, then said: "Through a minion’s soul, there’s no way to probe the original Jade Venerable’s memory, right?"

Wang Quan showed an apologetic expression and slowly shook his head.

Jade Venerable minions and God Demon minions alike are independent beings crafted from the original, inheriting temperament, thinking, combat skills, and so on.

Undeniably, minions have a relatively clear sense of self-identity.

For instance, the minions created by Deng Yuxiang feel a natural affinity for Lu Ran upon meeting him, knowing he is their leader.

But Nightmare minions will not know the deep emotions shared between Lu and Deng or understand everything that happened as they walked this path together.

"Hmm." Lu Ran nodded, contemplating for a long time, then suddenly turned to Wang Quan.

Wang Quan held his breath and appeared inquisitive.

Lu Ran looked stern, his voice hoarse: "Lord Wang Quan, I’m afraid I’ll need to borrow a lot of your power."

Wang Quan’s heart tightened instantly!
