God Slayer Chronicles 15 6.1 Breathing Life Into The Yang Clan!

When Yang Gou was about to turn away, he had a voice enter his ear, "Collect the bodies, they're useful to me." This voice was one he recognised very well, it belonged to the saviour of his clan… Yang Chi.

Yang Gou swiftly collected their corpses, placing them in a sack and slinging them over his shoulder.

"Pick me up, we must speak in privet." The voice sounded again.

Yang Gou raised an eyebrow, what could he have planned? He shook his head, after all, if Yang Chi had any bad intentions for the Yang Clan, he wouldn't have given him such a terrifying cultivation technique.

Yang Chi sat on his bed, Ru Yi had long since pa.s.sed out from fatigue. That woman wasn't doing well, soon enough it would be crucial to give her a proper way to channel the Deathly Yin that was plaguing her body.

A firm knock came from the bamboo door, "Enter, it's your clan after all." Yang Chi said jokingly.

Yang Gou gave a deep bow, "Thank you for your a.s.sistance senior. Otherwise, I'm afraid that without it my Yang Clan wouldn't have lived to see I'm afraid that without it my Yang Clan wouldn't have lived to see dawn come."

Yang Chi shook his head, "There's no need patriarch, and please dispense with the pleasantries. I'm your descendent, so don't call me senior." He smiled slightly.

"Now, Patriarch we have several things to discuss and some of it will take a long time. Is there anything you need to see to urgently?" Yang Chi asked.

Yang Gou simply shook his head in response, wondering what scheme Yang Chi had conjured up this time.

"Firstly, is the matter of protecting our Clan. With the help of those three dead cultivators, I'll be able to set up a primitive formation around the Yang Clan this evening, only those who control the formation will be able to let people come and go from the mountain as they please." Yang Chi further explained, how he intended to rip out the Coloured Star Cores from their bodies and use that to power the formation.

Hypothetically it should last for a few decades, or at least until it's broken by a power that could match up to the three Coloured Cores combined.

"Secondly we have to talk about your cultivation." Yang Chi said coldly.

"What about it? As soon as I started to practice the Soul Subduing Sword Technique, I've felt more powerful and enlightened than ever." Yang Hou blankly stated.

"Yes, that's why I wanted to speak with you. I suppose you know there are multiple ways for a person to cultivate?" Yang Chi questioned.

"Of course, there's cultivating Qi, then turning it into essence, but there's also the method of body refining."

"Quite right. Do you know there's also a third method?"

"A third method?" Yang Gou was in a daze.

"Yes, cultivation of the soul. Soul cultivation can only start if somebody has a soul variant or when they reach the Coloured Star Realm like yourself."

Yang Gou rubbed his chin at Yang Chi's words, "Which is the most powerful of paths?"

Hearing this Yang Chi chuckled, "That depends entirely on the situation. As you can tell your power currently when compared to other Coloured Star cultivators is overwhelming, that's because you've already strengthened and cultivated your soul, whereas theirs is completely vulnerable to attack."

Yang Hou nodded his head, realizing his success was only momentary and that if he faced somebody with a stronger soul then him, he'd be overwhelmed.

"But if I weren't pedantic about it, I'd say the most powerful path is the path of duel cultivating." Yang Chi said, smiling.

"Duel cultivating as in between a pair of people?" Yang Gou said confused.

Smack!

Yang Chi slapped his forehead.

"Not that type of duel cultivating you Old Dog." Yang Chi shook his head, rubbing his temples all the while.

"Duel cultivating as in both essence and the body. Perhaps even the soul if you're talented enough." Yang Chi rolled his eyes.

"Oh," Yang Gou sounded, scratching the back of his neck as his face turned a little red.

This caused Yang Chi to sigh, "Just focus on the cultivation technique I handed to you, it allows humans to cultivate their souls."

Yang Gou just nodded with a smile.

"The third thing we have to talk about are the Clan's resources, and how we're going to expand in the future, I've had several ideas so far, but unfortunately I need to have a detailed a.n.a.lysis of the Yang Clan mines before we go ahead with this."

"And while I intend to support the Clan in its growth, the formations I wish to place down require are rather complex and require me to have my soul strength of at least the initiate level." Yang Chi paused, looking at Yang Gou who was utterly lost.

"You have questions, to me, this seems rather straightforward. Ask quickly."

"First of all, that you for all the thought that you're putting into this." Yang Gou smiled.

"But I'd like to ask, first of all, what are the formations you would want to place down and secondly can you explain soul strength?"

Yang Chi frowned. Apparently, he didn't like to leave anything to the imagination.
