Seeing Wei Chen's expression, Gu Yuehong couldn't help but smile. The heir of the Demon Lotus Emperor asking such a foolish question?
Gu Yuehong looked at Wei Chen with disdain and said lightly, "I am of the Dragon Clan, and the pressure from my bloodline is no joke. Look at them; they are all watching from a distance. Who would dare to attack us? And you are the heir of the Demon Lotus Emperor. As long as you summon the Demon Lotus, what beast would not submit?"
"The Demon Lotus is something that makes all beasts in Hua Xia World submit! The Western Buddha has carried the Demon Lotus for hundreds of thousands of years, absorbing countless good things. Now that you have inherited the legacy of the Demon Lotus Emperor, what else is there? I can make these beasts submit to me; for you, it would be effortless."
Gu Yuehong paused for a moment and continued, "In other words, as long as you want to, you can control the beasts at any time and become their overlord, making them fight for you instead of being a lone commander."
"Ah?" Wei Chen looked at Gu Yuehong in astonishment and asked eagerly, "What do I need to do to control them?"
"It's simple. Just use the Soul Control Technique on them. If you apply the Soul Control Technique, they won't resist. If I were to use it on them, some of the stronger ones might even rebel."
After hearing Gu Yuehong's words, Wei Chen frowned and said, "What is your Soul Control Technique? I've never heard of it before."
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. After all, you haven't inherited the memories of the Demon Lotus Emperor yet. There are many wondrous skills that you don't know," Gu Yuehong replied disdainfully.
"Don't just stand there; aren't you supposed to know that Soul Control Technique? Just teach it to me," Wei Chen said. He had always been someone who was not ashamed to ask questions. No matter what he didn't understand, he would ask anyone who knew without feeling embarrassed.
What is face? Is it valuable? Perhaps it is somewhat valuable, but in front of great power, how much is face worth? A few coins? This was Wei Chen's mindset; being diligent and inquisitive was one of his strengths. Unlike some high-ranking individuals who wouldn't lower themselves to ask questions about things they didn't understand, in the end, they were only hurting themselves.
The idea of not being ashamed to ask questions was inherently flawed. If others know something and you don't, asking requires humility—even if you're asking someone less knowledgeable than yourself. But in reality, if they know and you don't, can they really be considered less knowledgeable?
Wei Chen's eyes sparkled with anticipation as he looked at Gu Yuehong.
Gu Yuehong sighed helplessly and said, "I never expected that even the mighty Demon Lotus Emperor would have times when he needs my help."
"Come on, isn't that obvious? I've always been looking for your help!"
"Well then, it doesn't matter if it's just one more time. I'll teach you the Soul Control Technique; you can control the beasts within Cang Mountain yourself," Gu Yuehong said with a sly smile.
Seeing Gu Yuehong's mischievous grin made Wei Chen uneasy. Was there something fishy going on?
"Gu Yuehong, are you trying to pull a fast one on me?" Wei Chen asked angrily.
Gu Yuehong pouted and replied, "I'm not at such a low level as to play tricks on you. However, let me tell you this: there are an overwhelming number of beasts in Cang Mountain. Using the Soul Control Technique on them will wear you out."
"Isn't that so-called Soul Control Technique single-target control? Can't it control multiple targets?"
"You can control them in groups, but you're a beginner. How could you possibly do it so well?"
"Let me give it a try. I never doubt myself; I'm a talent. This is nothing I can't handle."
"Alright, good luck."
Gu Yuehong nodded and immediately shared all the secrets of the Soul Control Technique with Wei Chen. In fact, it was quite simple. The Soul Control Technique could not only be used against beasts but also against people. As long as someone sincerely offered a strand of Divine Soul Power, they could be controlled. As for the beasts, their strong bloodline pressure made them dare not disobey.
After going through the Soul Control Technique, Wei Chen increasingly felt that this was reliable; it was definitely a good thing. Controlling beasts as guards was one thing, but more importantly, it was about controlling people. Once he had control over someone's soul, everything else would be easy.
"Gu Yuehong, doesn't that mean I can control those who are somewhere between loyal and disloyal among the human race? As long as they dare to make even the slightest move, I can choke off their Divine Soul Power from hundreds of thousands of miles away and crush them to death?"
"Yes, that's right. Moreover, if you die, those you control with the Soul Control Technique will die with you. This technique is quite sinister; in Hua Xia World, very few dare to use it as it's considered a forbidden art. You can't just use it recklessly, but in this Soul World, it's fair game. Just remember to forget about it once you return to Hua Xia World and never use it again; everything else is fine," Gu Yuehong explained calmly.
Wei Chen nodded, secretly committing Gu Yuehong's words to memory. Although Gu Yuehong seemed dull and foolish on the surface, he was far from stupid; on the contrary, he was quite shrewd in many matters. Wei Chen sensed that Gu Yuehong was genuinely helping him without any ulterior motives—his intentions were even purer than Ni Junlin's. After all, Ni Junlin's goal was to gain a title and have Wei Chen marry her...
Wei Chen felt relatively at ease with Gu Yuehong. He quickly found a beast, summoned a hint of Demon Lotus aura to suppress it so that it wouldn't dare move recklessly, and then used the Soul Control Technique. Instantly, a peculiar connection formed between him and the beast.
A thin strand of Soul Power entered Wei Chen's body. He realized that if he wanted that beast to die, it would only take a single thought.
The power of the Soul Control Technique was evident.
Next, under Gu Yuehong's help and guidance, Wei Chen began controlling one beast after another using the Soul Control Technique at an increasingly faster pace. Regardless of the rank of the beasts, upon encountering Wei Chen's Demon Lotus aura, they all submitted and dared not attack him.
As he became more proficient with the single-target Soul Control Technique, Wei Chen began using the group version. At first, he only controlled two or three beasts at once with decent results. After further practice, he started controlling five or six or even dozens of beasts until he could command hundreds or thousands simultaneously.
This way, the efficiency of controlling beasts with the Soul Control Technique greatly increased; however, Wei Chen himself felt exhausted to the point of nearly collapsing. The phrase "exhausted like a dog" truly applied here.
"I'm paralyzed; this is exhausting! Gu Yuehong, damn it! Don't just stand there watching me work myself to death; you should control some too! Can you really just stand by while I suffer?" Wei Chen shouted at Gu Yuehong.
While Wei Chen was laboring under the strain of using the Soul Control Technique, Gu Yuehong merely watched from the sidelines without any intention of joining in. The Soul Control Technique was indeed tiring—not physically but mentally. The influx of so much inexplicably complex Divine Soul Power into his spirit was overwhelming; even if each beast contributed only a little bit more added up to an incredibly terrifying amount.
Inside Wei Chen's body, countless strands of Divine Soul Power from various beasts gathered together, making him feel dizzy and uncomfortable all over. The physical discomfort was manageable; however, the mental strain from God Above was far more challenging to endure.
Wei Chen had used the Soul Control Technique countless times and had become sufficiently skilled at it; yet that feeling of discomfort nearly pushed him to his limits. It would be hard to find anyone else in all of Soul World who could persist under such conditions.
Although Wei Chen's combat power wasn't particularly strong yet, his Divine Soul Power had already surpassed what one would expect in Soul World due to its transformation by Demon Lotus—reaching an incredibly terrifying level. Compared to Gu Yuehong, Wei Chen's Divine Soul Power was exponentially stronger.
This is the advantage of the Demon Lotus transformation. Therefore, even if it means having Wei Chen carry the Demon Lotus Soul, a ticking time bomb, at all times, Donghua insists that Wei Chen must complete the inheritance of the Demon Lotus Emperor. The benefits of this will only become apparent once Wei Chen fully inherits the legacy of the Demon Lotus Emperor.
Even now, Wei Chen's Divine Soul Power is already formidable. His Three Souls and Seven Spirits have been greatly enhanced through the shaping of the Demon Lotus. Each of those Martial Souls is extraordinary and has significantly strengthened his Spirit, especially the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, Golden Dragon Soul, and Black Tortoise Martial Soul—each one a divine beast Martial Soul, making it hard not to be powerful.
With all this assistance, Wei Chen has reached an astonishing level in controlling beasts using the Soul Control Technique. However, the number of beasts on Cang Mountain is even more staggering, and Wei Chen can clearly feel that if this continues, he won't be able to hold on much longer.
But when he sought help from Gu Yuehong, he had chosen the wrong person.
Gu Yuehong chuckled lightly and said, "Wei Chen, don't worry. I won't help you control the beasts. I've already taught you the Soul Control Technique; everything else depends on you. A man must rely on himself, not others. If you encounter an unbeatable foe, I can assist you, but I'm afraid I won't intervene in this matter. You should take your time with it. Once you manage to control all the beasts here, you'll realize what a tremendous fortune it will be for you."
With that, Gu Yuehong gave Wei Chen a deep look, smiled broadly, and flew away from Cang Mountain.
Back at the foot of Cang Mountain, Han Mang and the others hurriedly approached Gu Yuehong.
"The number of beasts within Cang Mountain is vast and their strength is impressive. If we want to slay them, it might take several nights."
"Why didn't Wei Chen come out with you?"
"He sent me to inform you that he needs some time to figure out how to control all the beasts within Cang Mountain and turn them into protective beasts for Peach Blossom Sect—serving as the first line of defense for Cang Mountain! Until he comes out himself, no one is allowed to enter Cang Mountain's territory. This involves some of his secrets that he doesn't want anyone to see. Even though you are his closest companions, knowing certain things may not be beneficial for you."
As Gu Yuehong spoke, a strange smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.
