The skill [Soul-Binding Technique of the Dead] hasn’t been upgraded for a while due to the previous shortage of Cause and Effect Points.

But its powerful effect is undeniable. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Even with just a [Beginner] Skill Level in [Soul-Binding Technique of the Dead], it’s enough to rely on the vast Ghostly Legion to forcibly control a mighty God like Garuda.

"There are too many places that require the consumption of Golden Embryo Origin. With this skill, it can greatly reduce its usage. Moreover, as the Ghostly Legion quickly expands in this world, its Power will rise at a rocket-like speed."

"The same goes for the Soul Slaying Demon Finger."

Initially, he wanted to save a bit, but now he realizes that the Hundred Demons Melting Furnace World is far more dangerous than he had imagined. It’s best to quickly elevate his Power to the extreme.

With his mind made up, Chu Xiu did not hesitate and once again began to allocate points like crazy!

A massive amount of Cause and Effect Points burned rapidly as if they were free, and the Levels of both skills increased as a result!

[Consumed 37,762 Cause and Effect Points, Soul-Binding Technique of the Dead has been cultivated to Perfection!]

[Consumed 65,202 Cause and Effect Points, Soul Slaying Demon Finger has been cultivated to Perfection!]

Unlocking and mastering these two heritages cost Chu Xiu over two hundred thousand. For an Ordinary Awakened, it is an astronomical figure, but both combined are far less than the Golden Embryo Divine Forger.

Not to mention the Golden Embryo Divine Forger, even the consumption of Golden Flesh and Nether Bone is more than them!

This is the difference between powerful Divine Techniques and foundational heritages.

In reality, foundational Divine Techniques like the Golden Embryo Divine Forger are not something Practitioners can master at the current stage. In the past Demon Sect, those who could cultivate to the Fourth Layer before forming a Golden Core were already geniuses among geniuses.

If there were no Cause and Effect Points from the Abyss, Chu Xiu might not reach Perfection even until his old age!

One can only say that the compatibility between the Abyss and Demon Cultivators is exceptionally high. If the Abyss existed earlier, Chu Xiu does not believe that the Demon Sect would have been defeated by the Righteous Sects.

Of course, these two heritages cost so little for another important reason: their Power greatly relies on the size of the Ghostly Legion and is not limited to oneself. Thus, the [Soul Slaying Demon Finger] of General Tier consumes even less than the Fierce Tier’s [Burning Blood Golden Eyes].

"This means that just increasing the Skill Level is far from enough. The truly important factor is the Ghostly Legion!"

Chu Xiu opened his eyes, waved the Thousand Souls Banner, and immediately the sound of Ghost’s Wail arose around him as countless roaring vengeful spirits rushed out!

Noticing the situation, Jiang Miaoyin opened her eyes and was instantly stunned by the scene before her.

Numerous powerful Ghosts surrounded Chu Xiu. They shuttled back and forth as if adding a set of armor forged by departed souls around Chu Xiu.

During this time, Chu Xiu concentrated on cultivation, but the refinement of the Soul Banner did not stop either. Multi-tasking is almost effortless for him now.

After absorbing all the soul Energy in the hall, as he expected, countless Ghosts revived anew, and the size of the Ghostly Legion immediately restored to two-thirds of its original scale.

And that’s still not the end. Don’t forget, earlier, he sent out a quarter of his restored Ghosts to devour other Ghosts in the city.

The Ghost Bodies in the city are plump but not good at fighting, making them the best kind of fodder!

The past ten days have completely turned into a hunting ground for the Ghost Army under Chu Xiu’s command, and the Power of those Ghosts has also been boosting frenziedly!

Now, nearly all the ghosts in the city have been swept away, and the overall strength of the Ghostly Legion is even a notch stronger than during its peak!

But, Chu Xiu is still not satisfied!

He opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Miaoyin.

The latter immediately understood and handed over a small black sphere: "Senior, most of the Soul Power of those Holy Spirits is here."

Chu Xiu inspected it, approximately equivalent to the Soul Bodies of six King Tier Soul Type entities.

The consumption was significant, but understandably so.

He squeezed the black sphere, which immediately exploded, releasing a massive amount of Soul Power surging around like a tide. However, with the sounds of countless excited shrieks, tens of thousands of Ghosts circled around Chu Xiu, forming layers of gray-black storms. These storms devoured all the Soul Power without letting a single bit escape.

During this continuous devouring, the size of the Ghostly Legion expanded rapidly! New Ghosts were born and transformed continuously!

Suddenly, a powerful aura rose from within.

The second High-tier Ghost General was born.

Chu Xiu was not surprised by this at all.

In the Ancient Trials, he slew seven Gods, and their souls were of excellent Quality.

Especially the souls of the Celestial Beings, being strong candidates for promoting to Ghost King.

The Celestial Dragon and Garuda were strong enough, and though the other four were slightly less powerful, each could almost certainly become High-tier Ghost Generals.

The only thing lacking was the Soul Power needed for evolution!

And now, with such a substantial supplement of Soul Power, like a gradual accumulation followed by a sudden burst, it had brought about an explosion!

With another powerful aura rising, the third High-tier Ghost General appeared! And it wasn’t over yet. As the Soul Power was nearly absorbed, another aura rose!

The souls of the Celestial Beings, Celestial Dragon, and Garuda all smoothly advanced to High-tier Ghost Generals!

Their Divine Souls were inherently strong, and they required less Soul Power to advance than others.

From afar, Jiang Miaoyin watched all this with eyes filled with awe. Within moments, three powerful King Tier entities were born, in conjunction with the countless Ghostly Army...

"This is the power of the Heroic Spirits!" Her eyes flashed with envy.

And Chu Xiu could hardly suppress his smile.

Not only had the Ghostly Legion recovered to its peak, but it also had three additional King Tier Ghosts!
