Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 92 Magic Inheritance

After Huo Yuhao fused with the soul ring originating from the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant, Du Busi left the Body Sect once again.

However, before leaving, he left a message: "Yuhao, just focus on your cultivation. You can apply to Elder Jinpeng for all the resources you need. After I have dealt with the external affairs, I will prepare the soul rings you will need later."

Huo Yuhao naturally knew that 100,000-year-old soul beasts were not so easy to find and hunt. Judging from Du Busi's words, it was clear that he was not planning to take Huo Yuhao out on an adventure.

However, Huo Yuhao had other plans in mind, but he could only carry them out after Du Busi finished dealing with external matters and returned to the Body Sect.

In the sky, a strange sun hung, its entire body black, radiating an eerie and dim purple light.

The surrounding terrain was uneven and lifeless, the earth was as black as ink, and a chilling atmosphere permeated the world.

However, for Huo Yuhao, whose physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, it was not a place he could not adapt to.

"Elder Yi." Huo Yuhao bowed respectfully to the elderly man in front of him, whose body was somewhat translucent.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was no longer in the Body Sect, but in the territory of the Electrolux Undead Demiplane.

Electrolux had previously stated that once Huo Yuhao's cultivation level reached level 50, his observation period for Huo Yuhao would be considered over.

In any case, he would impart all the magic systems and related knowledge he could recall to Huo Yuhao without reservation.

This can also be considered a way of repaying the debt of borrowing Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea to repair his divine consciousness.

Although that's what they said, one thing is one thing, and Huo Yuhao still sincerely asked Electrolux for advice, just like a student.

After all, those who are accomplished come first, and elders are teachers. Even if Electrolux decided to teach Huo Yuhao magic after much consideration for some reason, the master-disciple relationship was naturally established.

"I've prepared everything and can now pass on the magic I remember to you, Yuhao."

"However, this world is quite different from the world I was in before, so the extent to which you can use magic depends entirely on yourself, Yuhao."

Electrox's eyes held a hint of nostalgia: "Any ability can be good if used for good, or evil if used for evil. The necromancy I specialize in may seem evil to outsiders, but as long as the user stays true to their heart, it can also benefit the world."

"I only hope that after receiving my magical inheritance, Yuhao, you can control your curiosity about the unknown and not go astray."

Electrolux looked at Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao looked directly at him without flinching.

"For me, exploring the unknown and taking control of new things brings me unparalleled satisfaction."

"Whether it's soul skills, martial souls, or magic, they are all ways for me to understand this world."

"Because of war, disease, and disaster, every moment in this world, living beings are dying. If their dying can bring me one step closer to the unknown, then I will not hesitate."

"But I won't find pleasure in it. For me, the means are not important, and I will not enjoy the so-called process before achieving the final goal, thereby losing myself. Mr. Yi, this is what I pursue."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Electrolux sighed. His observations over the past few days had made him realize that what Huo Yuhao said was true.

Huo Yuhao doesn't care much about people or things that are unrelated to him or of no benefit to him; in fact, he could be described as somewhat aloof.

However, when it comes to matters involving vested interests or opportunities for personal gain, Huo Yuhao's enthusiasm and execution become completely different from his usual self.

"Alright, alright. Although it's not good, your thoughts aren't exactly evil either. Next, I will explain to you what magic is from the most basic knowledge."

Electrolux then became serious: "If there's anything you don't understand or find difficult to comprehend, please feel free to ask questions. But whatever you do, don't build incorrect understanding based on the initial theory."

Huo Yuhao nodded and listened attentively to Electrolux's next explanation.

With the knowledge and understanding of a mage who was almost at the level of a god, Elex explained the basic theories of magic to Huo Yuhao in great detail.

This includes, but is not limited to, necromancy and light magic, which are Electrox's specialties.

Although Electrox only specializes in these two spells, there are many connections between other spells and these two spells.

What effect will occur when magic of different attributes is combined with necromancy and light magic?

What conflicts will occur between magic of different attributes, necromancy, and light magic?

And so on and so forth. Although it is basic, it is the most important part of the world of magic that Electrox knows.

It is the result of countless spellcasters accumulating experience over thousands of years. While this experience is not absolutely correct, it is the closest to the absolutely correct answer, having been verified by countless predecessors.

Magic is a symbol of the world's rules, and the spellcaster's incantation is the language of communication with the world.

For example, the high-speed friction of a flint produces sparks. From a scientific perspective, this is because the movement between molecules intensifies, causing the temperature to rise, which manifests as sparks.

The same applies to the world of magic. When mental energy is combined with a well-placed spell, nature can respond, stimulating the elements in the world to manifest in corresponding forms.

Theoretically speaking, all magic is not invented by the spellcaster, but rather discovered through trial and error by countless spellcasters. They are the laws of the world.

The origin of magic lies in the will of the caster. Only when the caster has a correct understanding of the concept of magic can they correctly cast the corresponding magic.

The more accurate and closer a spellcaster's understanding of the world is to its essence, the less superfluous and the more appropriate their interpretation, the more powerful their magic will be, and the further they can go on their journey.

The spellcaster's mental power is the medium through which their will communicates with the world.

The spellcaster's spiritual power and soul power are used to assist communication or establish corresponding communication channels. The consumption of energy is the manifestation of maintaining communication.

Most elemental spirits are mindless beings; they correctly execute the laws of each world. As long as you master the corresponding methods, you can control their operation.

As for some so-called spirits born from nature, such as the Snow Empress, the ruler of the far north, who can summon the power of ice and snow, they were separated from the great machine of the world at the time of their birth.

Although their innate ability to manipulate the gears of their respective elements to control the world's operation is a natural instinct, they are by no means like elemental spirits, beings that symbolize the rules of the world.

Huo Yuhao had already understood what Electrolux meant, just like the difference between the gods in the Divine Seal World and the Douluo World.

The deities in the world of Divine Seal are the Dao itself. They do not need any symbols, are ever-changing, and naturally have no fixed form or consciousness. They act in accordance with the rules of the world.

As one progresses toward their existence, at the moment of becoming a god, the insignificant existence of "humanity" is divided among the entire world, naturally unable to retain its own consciousness, and will only become a part of the world.

The gods in the Douluo world are the controllers of the laws, beings one level below the Dao. They possess their own emotions and will, which leads to differences in strength and a hierarchy.

Is the so-called law of destruction really stronger than the fundamental laws of earth, water, fire, and wind?

For a world, destruction or creation, earth, water, fire, and wind are all treated equally; they are all indispensable and important components of the world's great machine.

With an understanding of this concept, Huo Yuhao was able to imagine what "gods" were, and those high and mighty "gods" didn't seem so great after all.

And so, within the Body Sect, Huo Yuhao continuously deconstructed the 'points' in the Eye of Truth until his own soul power was exhausted. Afterward, he would enter the Undead Demiplane to continue listening to Electrolux's lessons.

As time went on, Electrolux had finished teaching the basics, and then he did just as he had said before.

He gradually taught Huo Yuhao his most prized light magic and necromancy, from basic to advanced levels.

Leaving aside light magic for now, necromancy should actually be called soul magic.

The essence of its research lies in the existence of the soul, especially the soul after human death, which is its main focus.

The research on necromancy requires a large number of souls, and under normal circumstances, once a soul is damaged, the physical body of that soul will either fall into a coma or die.

The study of the soul is far more difficult than ordinary elemental magic. Therefore, some fanatical groups of magicians have devoted themselves to studying the true meaning of the soul.

They often create a large number of deaths in order to obtain souls. Killing is just a means, and research is the goal, which is what Electrolux is worried about.

The concepts of life and death are merely byproducts of studying the soul, and neither is the most appropriate interpretation of necromancy.

However, as he gradually taught him, Electrolux was horrified to discover that Huo Yuhao's "talent" was far more abnormal than he had imagined.

Normal people do not have the ability to directly contact the soul, because without resentment as a carrier, the soul is ethereal and elusive. Even to see a soul, ordinary people need to rely on various kinds of magic or project their spiritual power to perceive it.

However, for Huo Yuhao, let alone ordinary spirits, even the deeper 'composition' of these souls could be easily seen through.

With a little research, Huo Yuhao could master the necromancy that ordinary necromancers could only learn from thousands of souls.

With a little thought, Huo Yuhao could learn the secrets of the soul that ordinary necromancers could only fully grasp in their entire lives.

Even the spells that are essential for ordinary spellcasters are not necessary for Huo Yuhao.

By simply using his mental power for meticulous manipulation, Huo Yuhao can replace the influence of spells and stimulate the essence of elements and even the soul, causing them to change according to the expected effect of magic.

Even with only the strength of a fifth-ring cultivator, Huo Yuhao's necromancy has already reached the level of a seventh-level magic, which is equivalent to the ability of a Soul Saint in the Douluo World.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao is capable of using more than one level seven spell. For him, casting level seven spells consecutively would create some pressure.

Because necromancy relies primarily on mental power, its energy requirements are not as high as other spells such as elemental magic. Therefore, Huo Yuhao was able to achieve the ability to cast spells instantly beyond his level by relying on his mental power.

Indeed, for Huo Yuhao, the casting of all magic, apart from its necessary operational process, is instantaneous.

For Huo Yuhao, who possesses the Eye of Truth, magic, runes, and even soul skills are all things that are easy to understand and use.

Electrolux sighed helplessly, looking at Huo Yuhao whose eyes were still full of enthusiasm, and said, "Yuhao, based on your current cultivation level, this seventh-level magic is the limit that you can currently master."

"Although it's true that you can't bite off more than you can chew, I really find it hard to say to you, teacher."

"But for now, you should consolidate your previous learning. Once your strength breaks through the level 70 soul power of this world, your teacher will teach you the remaining magic."

"Yes, teacher." Huo Yuhao did not press the matter further. He also understood that Electrolux was indeed thinking of him, and although he had only mastered a portion of the seventh-level magic at the moment.

However, for someone who possesses the Eye of Truth and has accumulated a large number of Soul Skills, Runes, and Magic Models, it is indeed more than enough.

A year and a half has passed since Huo Yuhao fused with his fifth spirit ring. During this time, he spent most of his time learning the application of magic from Ilex and did not devote time to cultivating his spirit power.

Nevertheless, with the help of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao's soul power steadily broke through the level 60 barrier, and his cultivation speed far exceeded that of ordinary innate full soul power soul masters.

During this period, Huo Yuhao also established a teacher-student relationship with Electrolux. Now that the magic training has come to an end, it is time to put the acquisition of spirit rings back on the agenda.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the Five-Tailed White Fox swam around Huo Yuhao, curiously observing this novel undead demiplane beside him.

After mastering necromancy, Huo Yuhao was able to construct energy-formed shells for the spiritual entities residing within his spiritual sea, allowing them to venture out freely.

Meanwhile, a momentous event was also taking place in the Mingde Hall of the Sun and Moon Empire.
