31: Chapter 31: Recovery of Memories, Teaching Necromancy

On this day, Mu Qingci was meditating and cultivating in his room.

Electrolux, residing within his Mental Energy sea, suddenly stirred. "Qingci, my soul has grown much stronger after being nourished by the Life Gold for so long. Some of my memories have also returned to me, including a few rather interesting forms of Necromancy. Would you be willing to learn them?"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of excitement flashed through Mu Qingci's heart. He had long desired to learn those wondrous forms of Necromancy from Electrolux.

One must know that his Spirit possessed the Ultimate Death attribute, giving him innate, exceptional conditions for learning Necromancy.

Furthermore, he possessed twelve Undead Knights. After years of controlling them, he had long since become adept at commanding them. From another perspective, letting him control the undead creatures within the Undead Semi-Plane would also become much easier.

"This disciple is willing to learn!"

Seeing Mu Qingci's such positive attitude, Electrolux nodded with gratification.

His soul, as it appeared within the Mental Energy sea, was no longer a blurry phantom but seemed like a true person of flesh and blood.

His long, grey hair with golden streaks flowed gracefully, and his handsome face, paired with a pair of golden eyes, exuded the solemnity of a Necromantic Holy Law God.

"Good. Since you have a heart eager to learn, today I shall first teach you a simple Necromancy spell called Purifying Fire. As the name implies, it is a method used to purify evil Spirits, releasing pure Purifying Fire to burn away all evil in the World."

Mu Qingci had long known about Purifying Fire. In the original work, Huo Yuhao had used this move many times, leaving a deep impression on him.

"Alright, Teacher, please teach me. I will definitely study hard!"

Electrolux nodded. "Now, release your second Spirit, the Necromantic Holy Law God, and I will demonstrate it for you once."

Mu Qingci first locked his dormitory door, then closed the windows, ensuring it was completely sealed. Only after confirming there was no one else around did he release his second Spirit.

Accompanied by an aura of darkness intermingled with light rising up, Mu Qingci's entire demeanor began to change.

Just like Electrolux in his Mental Energy sea, he became holy and bright, yet carried a trace of dark aura.

Golden light bloomed in his eyes, and a figure similar to Electrolux appeared behind him.

"Next, hand over control of your body to me. Watch closely from within your Mental Energy sea while I demonstrate it for you."

Mu Qingci had no reason to distrust Electrolux; the other party was now of the same origin as him, and if he wanted to harm him, he would have done so long ago. Moreover, one could tell from the original work that he was able to sacrifice himself for Huo Yuhao, so Electrolux was definitely not that kind of person.

Mu Qingci followed the other party's instructions and surrendered control of his body.

His consciousness entered his Mental Energy sea, watching the scene before him as if viewing a projected movie.

However, Mu Qingci could clearly feel that the moment Electrolux possessed him, his meridians suddenly expanded, filled with power.

Had his physical constitution not been robust, he likely would not have been able to withstand this immense power.

"I cannot possess you for too long, otherwise your body will not be able to withstand it. I will only demonstrate it once, so watch carefully."

After Electrolux finished speaking, he slowly raised his right hand.

As his right hand rose, a scepter surrounded by black, white, and gold colors appeared in his hand.

Electrolux waved the scepter in his hand, and a pure white flame appeared before him.

The flame seemed to lack temperature, giving one an extremely bright and gentle feeling.

Yet it was precisely this brightness and gentleness that caused countless evil things to steer clear, fearing they might be touched by even a speck.

Ultimate Light was contained within it; once an evil thing touched it, it would be severely injured at best, or have its soul scattered at worst.

"Qingci, watch closely. This is Purifying Fire. Anything bearing an evil aura that touches this flame will suffer a massive blow, potentially even having its soul scattered. Even ordinary dark attributes will be suppressed. After all, your light attribute, in the terms of this World, is called Ultimate Light, which can suppress all evil and darkness."

After Electrolux finished speaking, he returned control of the body.

The moment Mu Qingci regained control of his body, he felt a soreness throughout his meridians, with a faint sense that they might shatter.

"It seems I should try to have Teacher possess me as little as possible in the future; it's too uncomfortable!"

Although Electrolux was but a wisp of a soul, he was, after all, an existence approaching a god. For a mere Spirit Ancestor like Mu Qingci to withstand his power, he truly had to suffer a bit.

He was still maintaining the state of his second Spirit at this moment. Although he did not have a single spirit ring, the aura he radiated was still extremely powerful.

Following the method Electrolux had left in his Mental Energy sea, Mu Qingci raised his hand and summoned the scepter.

With the scepter in his hand, Mu Qingci felt the two powers of light and darkness peacefully intertwining within his body.

Mu Qingci slowly infused his Soul Power and Mental Energy into the scepter. Under his gradual attempts, a pure white flame appeared before his eyes.

"Success!"

Mu Qingci was overjoyed, stepping forward to observe the flame. The bright and warm aura made him feel very comfortable.

"Not bad, Qingci. I didn't expect you to have such high talent in Necromancy. I am happy for you."

Electrolux looked at that Purifying Fire, marveling at Mu Qingci's talent. He had succeeded in such a short time; even he himself might not have achieved such results back in the day.

After putting away his Spirit, Mu Qingci sat on the bed to meditate, recovering the Soul Power and Mental Energy he had just consumed.

"Teacher, can this Purifying Fire be used to transcend the undead?" Mu Qingci asked the question in his heart.

"Naturally, it can. It inherently possesses an aura of light and holiness, making it the best for purifying soul bodies."

Having received Electrolux's affirmation, Mu Qingci immediately had a new idea.

Having learned a new move, he had to find some targets to test it on, right?

Finding an Evil Soul Master right now would likely be difficult; those guys were elusive and not easy to find. But if he were looking for some ordinary soul bodies, Mu Qingci felt it would be quite simple.

The following night, Mu Qingci snuck out of Mingdu and headed toward the nearest mass grave.

Mass graves were often where drifters who couldn't afford a burial, or those executed criminals, were interred, so the probability of soul bodies forming there was extremely high.

Mu Qingci rushed toward the mass grave, concealing his aura along the way so as not to be discovered by others.

An hour later, he arrived at his destination.

Before him lay a vast expanse of desolate graves, with white bones visible on the ground everywhere.

Mu Qingci immediately released his second Spirit.

With the Necromantic Holy Law God Spirit possessing him, the World before Mu Qingci's eyes seemed to change its appearance.

Above that expanse of desolate graves, Mu Qingci saw many displaced wandering souls, drifting aimlessly, unable to find the direction home.
