Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 147 Dragon's Roar Across the Nine Heavens
The Qilin Spirit Control Seal refers to the method of controlling all spirits.

As for what "all spirits" are, the Book of Immeasurable Merit doesn't explain it.

Gao Wu understood "all spirits" to mean any living being, including birds, beasts, and perhaps even humans...

Legally speaking, it shouldn't be possible for humans, but how could a divine incantation distinguish between birds, beasts, and humans?

The inability to control people simply means that people's minds are unique and cannot be controlled.

Upon seeing the severely injured giant tiger, Gao Wu's first thought was that this thing was an alien spirit, but it was confined to the secret realm and only had its almost mechanical instincts left.

As the arranger, Hai Wuji couldn't design it as arbitrarily as he would design game levels. He simply preserved the giant tiger's fighting instincts based on its characteristics and left a small portion of the giant tiger's spirit in each level.

It was also because his innate talent had improved, and he had spent dozens of days in the Heavenly Limit Nine Trials, accumulating a lot of experience, that he suddenly understood the true nature of the giant tiger today, with a flash of inspiration.

Even supernatural beings are spirits!
The giant tiger is very strong, so at least it won't be toyed with and killed.

Gao Wu only used the giant tiger as a practice subject because he couldn't find anything suitable. He had no interest in controlling the giant tiger; its core was still the crystal core hidden deep within the secret realm.

Even if he could subdue the giant tiger, he couldn't take it out. As for mastering the Nine Limits of Heaven, it would be almost meaningless.

The Nine Limits of Heaven are used to test students' aptitude. Passing them will earn you the recognition of the academy's experts, but there are no other benefits.

Cheating to pass a level is not a good thing; it will only cause trouble. As for preventing others from passing, there is even less reason to do so.

The golden light imprint penetrated deep into the giant tiger's brain. Gao Wu immediately sensed a cluster of spiritual light consciousness deep within the giant tiger's brain, and felt the light imprint deeply imprinted on that cluster of spiritual light consciousness.

The giant tiger's consciousness suddenly erupted with a ferocious aura, causing the golden light seal to tremble and teeter on the verge of collapse.

Gao Wu activated two more Qilin Spirit Control Seals, and the three golden light seals overlapped together, making the seals noticeably more solid and powerful.

No matter how brightly the tiger's consciousness shone, it could not resist the deepening of the golden light imprint.

In an instant, the golden light imprint was deeply imprinted on the depths of the giant tiger's consciousness, and the two were closely combined. Gao Wu naturally established a connection with the giant tiger through the Qilin Divine Image.

Well, this spiritual connection is very close, even closer and more direct than his spiritual resonance with Song Mingyue.

Moreover, the mental connection was like a chain binding the giant tiger, and as the controller of the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra, he naturally had control over the giant tiger.

The giant tiger actually lacks true intelligence and consciousness; it only possesses the simplest emotions, such as anger and irritability.

Through the Spirit Control Seal, Gao Wu can sense the giant tiger's emotions and forcibly control it.

However, the giant tiger was very resistant, and this method of control was relatively simple.

"Roll over." Gao Wu gave the command through the Spirit Control Seal, which was a mental connection and did not need to be spoken.

The giant tiger let out a low growl. Although it lacked intelligence, it instinctively loathed being controlled by others.

The Qilin Spirit Control Seal contracted and shone, exerting pressure on the giant tiger's consciousness. The giant tiger struggled for a while but still reluctantly obeyed the command, rolling over on the ground.

Its body is as big as a heavy truck, and even a slight roll is impressive, making it look anything but cute.

Gao Wu then controlled the giant tiger to perform a few more actions, which the tiger reluctantly complied with, but it showed great resistance.

This kind of control doesn't consume much mental energy, and the Spirit Control Seal is very stable, so it should be able to exist for a long time.

After some testing, Gao Wu gained a basic understanding of the Qilin Spirit Seal.

Good news! The Spirit Control Seal can indeed control otherworldly spirits.

The bad news is that it's barely under control.

The giant tiger lacks intelligence and is difficult to control, exhibiting great resistance and resistance. It cannot be fully obedient and cooperative, making it largely useless to tame.

Gao Wu controlled the giant tiger for half a day, and as time went on, the giant tiger became less resistant to commands.

He didn't know whether it was the Spirit Control Seal that was working or the giant tiger that was gradually losing its instinct to resist.

There are too few experimental targets, so no conclusions can be drawn.

The only certainty is that the Spirit Seal is effective against otherworldly spirits. If one could control a powerful otherworldly spirit as a pet, it might not be very useful, but it would certainly be very cool.

However, to control an alien spirit, you must first defeat it. This way, the alien spirit won't be too strong, and it won't be very interesting.

I wonder if using the Spirit Control Seal on a person would have any effect?
Gao Wu had a gut feeling that the Spirit Control Seal could not control humans, nor could it control beings with too high intelligence and spirituality.

Only those strange beasts that are not very bright or have low intelligence, such as the spirit beasts, can be controlled by the Spirit Control Seal.

Gao Wu had had his fill of causing trouble and was about to retract the Spirit Control Seal when he sensed something was amiss.

Through a spiritual connection, he discovered another independent spiritual imprint deep within the Giant Tiger's spiritual world.

This spiritual imprint is self-contained, with little connection to the giant tiger. It was likely left deep within the giant tiger's spiritual world by an outsider.

Gao Wu suddenly became excited. This was very likely left behind by the Sword Saint Hai Wuji, perhaps a spiritual legacy left by the old man!
Although the Spirit Control Seal can control the giant tiger, it cannot activate this spiritual imprint.

"Do I have to kill this guy?" Gao Wu thought to himself and stopped hesitating. Taking advantage of the giant tiger's mental control, he drew his sword and stabbed.

Transformed into a nine-foot-long sword, the Destiny Sword flashed and pierced straight into the depths of the giant tiger's brain from its eye...

The giant tiger let out a miserable cry and vanished into a stream of light, only to re-condense into a ball of spiritual light at the central ring.

To Gao Wu's surprise, the special spiritual imprint did not appear.

"Is the way to pass the level wrong?" Gao Wu immediately grasped the key point: that independent spiritual imprint obviously required a special way to pass the level to be activated.

That makes sense.

Dean An values ​​him highly, so if there were any hidden benefits in the Nine Limits of Heaven, there would be no reason for him to keep it a secret.

An independent spiritual imprint obviously cannot possess any intelligence or be able to discern external circumstances.

The only possibility is to establish contact with the giant tiger and trigger it through the tiger's status feedback.

Therefore, the most likely outcome is that the game will be completed within a certain timeframe.

Simply put, the lower the source energy consumed by the alien spirit, the easier it is to activate its spiritual imprint. Or, to put it another way, the nine giant tigers are originally one entity, and whether or not a spiritual imprint is activated is determined by the overall source energy consumption.

The giant tiger was killed in the ninth level, but no passive alarm was triggered. It seems he was overthinking it; these kinds of things need to be reported by the players themselves.

This made it easier for him to do things.

Gao Wu checked the time; it was almost 5 p.m. He decided to try again tomorrow.

As Gao Wu and Yang Tielin were leaving, they chatted for a few minutes. As expected, Yang Tielin was unaware that he had already completed the game.

The next day, Gao Wu arrived early.

In order to clear the level quickly, Gao Wu used all his skills.

Within ten minutes, they had already entered the ninth level. Even someone with Gao Wu's formidable physique had to catch his breath, rest, and recover his source energy and spirit.

In the fifteenth minute, Gao Wu pierced the giant tiger's throat with a single sword strike, the nine-foot-long sword penetrating directly into the tiger's brainstem from below, thus ending the tiger's life.

After the giant tiger died, it turned into a ray of light and dissipated, but a ball of blue light appeared where it had been.

Gao Wu was overjoyed. Sure enough, clearing the level quickly was the key to getting the reward.

Without hesitation, he used his spiritual power to activate the blue aura, and a roar of a tiger and a cry of a dragon suddenly resounded deep within his spiritual world...

After a while, Gao Wu regained his senses. Just as he had expected, this was a small perk left by Sword Saint Hai Wuji for those who cleared the game quickly.

The Tiger Roar Thunderclap, a spiritual imprint, is actually the innate supernatural power of the giant tiger, which the Sword Saint deciphered and transformed into a spiritual inheritance.

It's equivalent to the Sword Saint optimizing the Tiger Roar Thunderclap into a secret technique that can correspond to the Twelve Divine Symbols.

Regardless of which method one practices, one can learn this secret technique.

In the past, Gao Wu could only practice Tiger Roar Thunderclap.

But things are very different now; the twenty points of root potential are not fake!
Having received the spiritual imprint, Gao Wu immediately extracted the method to adapt to the Nine Transformations of the Dragon Form and incorporated it into the "Dragon Roars to the Nine Heavens" transformation.

The Dragon's Roar to the Nine Heavens is mainly used to exhale and make sounds, using sound resonance to cleanse the mind and body, and refine one's source energy.

The twelve divine forms all have similar methods, the difference lies in the name, the visualization of the divine form, and the details of breathing and vocalization.

The legacy left by the Sword Saint was profound, yet not so profound. In terms of level, it was slightly higher than the "Regretful Dragon Soaring" taught by Lu Yuan, but not by much.

Gao Wu incorporated the Sword Saint's legacy into Dragon's Roar Nine Heavens, elevating this secret technique to a higher level.

No matter how high his innate talent, he still had to proceed step by step in cultivating secret techniques. Moreover, the Nine Forms of the Dragon Form that he had learned was not at a high level to begin with.

This was also because his cultivation progressed too quickly, and his original Nine Forms of the Dragon appeared somewhat crude. He had also planned to become Lu Yuan's disciple, so he didn't seek guidance from other martial arts masters.

He unexpectedly acquired a highly advanced Dragon Roar Nine Heavens technique, which proved extremely useful to him.

However, Gao Wu was still a little disappointed that the dignified Sword Saint had left behind such a low-level secret technique.

This time, Gao Wu still didn't tell Yang Tielin about clearing the level. He stayed in the secret realm for most of the day to cultivate the Nine Forms of the Dragon, and only left the secret realm in the afternoon.

That evening, Gao Wu and Song Mingyue, as usual, shared a spiritual connection.

The dragon and snake intertwined, and Gao Wu could sense that Song Mingyue's Cold Netherworld Serpent was transforming every day, making significant progress each day.

In the spiritual realm, the White Snake grows larger every day. The White Snake doesn't physically exist, but is a manifestation of spiritual power. Its increasing size is, in fact, an external expression of this ever-growing spiritual power.

Gao Wu practiced the Nine Forms of the Dragon Form for an afternoon, especially the Dragon Roar to the Nine Heavens, and had already gained a deep understanding of it.

At this moment, the resonance with Song Mingyue's Frosty Heavenly Serpent naturally sparked his inspiration, and the Azure Dragon, which was intertwined with the White Serpent, suddenly raised its head and let out a long roar...

The Azure Dragon was not a real dragon, and its roar was merely a vibration of spiritual energy. The white snake, affected by the dragon's roar, naturally twisted and vibrated, its white scales emitting a buzzing sound.

The roars of dragons and the cries of snakes converged, deepening the spiritual resonance between the two sides, even bringing Gao Wu and Song Mingyue's source energy into a state of resonance...

A sudden tremor ran through the depths of Gao Wu's brow, opening up some kind of invisible channel. Under the guidance of the spiritual resonance, the source energy of the void continuously converged towards his brow.

The third acupoint is rapidly forming...

Gao Wu remained calm. His innate talent had improved, and he was just one step away from condensing his third acupoint. He had also received the Sword Saint's inheritance and resonated with Song Mingyue.

Opening the third acupoint is a natural process!
He remained calm and unperturbed, silently urging the dragon's roar to resonate through the heavens, causing his body and spirit to vibrate and resonate with the source energy, allowing both his body and mind to enter a state of coordinated resonance.

He was aware of these changes before, but couldn't adapt. Today, however, he can easily make adjustments to bring his mind and body to their optimal state.

The real surprise was Song Mingyue's Frosty Heavenly Serpent. Through the resonance of its silent dragon roar, he was able to gain Song Mingyue's spiritual support, allowing him to perfect the acupoint between his eyebrows...
