My Divine Diary

Su Hao’s confidence against Unity cultivators stemmed from his deeper understanding of them.

To him, Unity cultivators were nothing special.

What they could boast about were just their extraordinary techniques.

In Su Hao’s eyes, they were all the same when facing him.

Most importantly, Su Hao had already found a way to counter Unity cultivators.

Over the past year, Su Hao had discovered from the collected “technique” books the type of technique that Feng Jiutai, the Unity cultivator who injured him, used— the Soul Annihilation Technique.

The Soul Annihilation Technique was also known as the “poison of spiritual power.”

When the spiritual power above the Golden Core Realm used the Soul Annihilation Technique, its nature transformed into a special state, constantly edging toward destruction. When a cultivator was struck by the Soul Annihilation Technique, their entire spiritual power would be infected by this special state, immediately triggering a chain reaction, causing the collapse of their spiritual power until it was completely eroded away.

If spiritual power were likened to a mass of gas, then the Soul Annihilation Technique would be a flame. When this flame flew into the gas, the gas would ignite and become irretrievable.

This malicious technique was feared by everyone, but everyone also had to learn it for self-defense.

For example, the “Life-Ending Heart-Piercing Drill” that Su Hao encountered in the Broad Abyss Sea belonged to this category of techniques.

The key point was that this type of technique possessed a strong erosion ability against a cultivator’s spiritual power, and most shields couldn’t withstand it, making it almost certain death once hit, with no chance of survival.

Only special spiritual power shields inside spiritual power stones could resist such attacks.

The Soul Annihilation Technique could be considered a poison targeting the “biological energy” of human spiritual power.

This type of technique was widely circulated in the cultivation world, leading to cultivators preferring to fight from a distance, using techniques or artifacts to engage in battles while carrying a spiritual power stone-activated protective artifact to defend against the Soul Annihilation Technique.

Otherwise, if an opponent suddenly used the Soul Annihilation Technique, it would be certain death.

After a long period of development, “close combat cultivators” gradually withdrew from the stage, and long-distance battles became the mainstream of battles.

Currently, there were few cultivators specializing in close combat, and close combat became exclusive to mortal martial arts.

Fortunately, the Soul Annihilation Technique also had its drawbacks. First, it had no effect on the spiritual power of natural spiritual power stones. Second, under Unity, this type of technique had a slow activation speed and wasn’t very fast in flight. As long as one was cautious and kept their distance, it was easy to dodge.

However, this disadvantage didn’t exist in Unity cultivators!

The Soul Annihilation Technique was precisely the specialty of Unity cultivators. They could wield it with ease, wreaking havoc in the world. Against cultivators at the Infant State and below, whoever they targeted would die.

Su Hao guessed the reason why Unity cultivators could activate the Soul Annihilation Technique so quickly: “With the spiritual power of others in their bodies, they could use external spiritual power to activate the Soul Annihilation Technique without worrying about it backfiring.”

Similarly, even if Unity cultivators were hit by the Soul Annihilation Technique, they wouldn’t die; at most, they would lose a portion of their external spiritual power!”

Su Hao had a basic understanding of the advantages of Unity cultivators.

First, they had extremely long lifespans and could use their lifespan to outlast their enemies.

Second, under Unity, they were invincible against the Soul Annihilation Technique.

Third, their divine sense had an extremely wide range, giving them the initiative, so they rarely encountered ambushes.

Fourth, the quality of the spiritual power inside their bodies was slightly higher than that of Infant State cultivators, and the quantity was immense, almost inexhaustible, making their endurance extremely strong.

Fifth, they controlled numerous resources and had subordinate sects serving them. They rarely appeared in public and didn’t easily take risks, so no one knew where they were.

In summary, the only threat Unity cultivators posed to Su Hao was the Soul Annihilation Technique!

In other words, as long as he found a method to counter the Soul Annihilation Technique, Su Hao would almost be invincible against Unity cultivators!

Compared to lifespan, who could scare Su Hao? In terms of divine sense, he could definitely make the opponent unable to discern his exact appearance. In terms of the quantity of spiritual power, Su Hao was not weaker in the slightest. As for resources, wouldn’t he just snatch them if he didn’t have any? He was adept at this business now!

“So, the current top priority is to first learn the Soul Annihilation Technique, then study its characteristics, and find a method of protection! You can’t just carry spiritual power stones around with you!”

Thinking of this, Su Hao placed the three selected Soul Annihilation Techniques from the books in front of him: “Life-Ending Heart-Piercing Drill,” “Bone-Corrosion Soul-Consuming Technique,” and “Spirit-Dividing Finger.”

Su Hao stroked his chin in thought. He was about to choose one of the techniques to practice. He estimated that he would be able to learn it in one to two months when news from Yashan came.

“Boss Wei, the research on the ‘Exploration of the Law of Multiple Properties Transformation of Spiritual Power’ project is basically complete! I’ve created an app with the relevant rules of spiritual power transformation using the Universal Assistant for your convenience in the future. When you’re free, I’ll come find you and explain it in person.”ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt

Along with this message came an application package and a large file.

Su Hao casually opened it and began browsing. The large file detailed Yashan’s three-year research process, how they followed Su Hao’s experimental plan step by step to reach conclusions, marked the problems encountered, and the solutions. Finally, the research results were thoughtfully compiled into an app.

In less than a day, Su Hao roughly skimmed through the file sent by Yashan. Just as Yashan had said, this research had already been completed.

Su Hao smiled, “This is perfect timing for practicing techniques. Isn’t this just what I needed? The timing couldn’t be more perfect!”

He then messaged Yashan, “Yashan, well done. Come to my second laboratory!”

After sending the message, Su Hao’s figure faded and appeared in the second laboratory.

He received a reply from Yashan: “Received, Boss Wei!”

Before long, Yashan arrived outside the experimental base, skillfully opening the array and entering.

Yashan had been studying “teleportation” for almost two years, but he was still far from achieving actual teleportation. The main obstacle lay in simulating the dynamic laws of the spiritual tentacles in the space module. It would take at least three to five more years before he could hope to master it.

Seeing Yashan’s excited expression, Su Hao couldn’t help but chuckle, “Yashan, not bad at all. I originally thought it would take at least five years to complete this project, but unexpectedly, you succeeded in just three years! You’ve really helped me out!”

Yashan now looked like a sixteen-year-old youth. With Su Hao’s “Brow-Clearing Needle” assistance, he had grown quite well. At this moment, he laughed heartily, exuding a youthful and handsome aura that was favored by many girls.

“Hahaha! It’s all thanks to Boss Wei’s excellent teaching! Your research plan, Boss Wei, is simply unbeatable! You’ve considered every aspect. I’m just executing your plan! But completing a project independently, that feeling is just too exciting!”

At this point, Yashan’s face was filled with longing. “Boss Wei, during this research, I gradually grasped the approach to designing research plans. Let me try to independently handle the next project!”

Su Hao replied, “Just praised you and you’re already floating! Alright, in a few days, I’ll assign you the second project. You’ll be responsible for designing the plan and conducting experiments independently. However, after designing it, let me review it first. Don’t waste time.”

Excitedly, Yashan responded, “Understood, Boss Wei! I’ll try it first, and if I can’t come up with a design, I’ll ask for your help.”

Su Hao added, “By the way, did you receive the Senior Brother Token for reaching the Qi Induction Realm?”

Yashan nodded, “Two months ago, the sect held a competition for the Senior Brother Token, and I’ve already received mine!”

With that, he took out a small red token from his waist, identical to the one Su Hao held in his hand.

Su Hao said, “Then you can advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm! However, there are two choices: first, you can break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm according to the structure of the Yue Lineage. The advantage is that there are successful cases, and you can at least break through to the Nascent Soul State; second, I can design a set of methods for you to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm. The advantage is that it can verify my understanding of cultivation and accumulate cases and data for our future use.”

Without hesitation, Yashan said, “The second option. A new attempt is obviously more important.”

Su Hao smiled, “Then wait patiently for a while. I’ll organize the new Foundation Establishment method as soon as possible!”

After some thought, Su Hao added, “By the way, Feng Cheng has also reached the fourth layer of Qi Induction and can break through to Foundation Establishment. However, his cultivation method is quite special. Ask him to wait patiently as well, and I’ll organize a breakthrough method for him.”

Yashan replied, “Got it, Boss Wei!”

Su Hao opened the software and simultaneously manifested the effects of the software into Yashan’s consciousness. Then he said, “Yashan, explain to us the ‘Spiritual Power Property Transformation Factory’ you made. Let’s give it a try and see if your research results have the functionality you claimed.”
