Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Qu Jianlei was startled, "Absolutely not!"

In the legends of Huaxia, ghost cultivators have never had a positive image.

Of course, good and evil have nothing to do with the cultivation technique, but just by looking at how many negative emotions’ souls the other party collected, they are definitely not good.

The most important thing is, "Being in contact with these souls too much will affect the purity of your spiritual power."

"It’s just like the soul searching skill," Qu Jianlei raised his hand and unleashed a Thunder Dragon, targeting an A-level soul.

"Why do I advise against frequent use? Because if used too much, it will also affect yourself."

The A-level soul took a hit from the Thunder Dragon, and immediately stopped tearing at the thunder net, writhing continuously.

Judging by the shape of the fluctuations, you can even vaguely feel that he is letting out a painful wail.

At the same time, this burst of spiritual power was dissipating at an incredibly fast speed.

"Interesting," the Paranoid said as he processed the sight, launching another Thunder Dragon, hitting another A-level soul.

As he was attacking, he spoke, "I thought the challenge was in collection, turns out there are hidden risks?"

This soul also began to writhe in pain.

The two of them attacked while chatting, seemingly relaxed.

But they both knew very well how dangerous the current situation was.

If it weren’t for the fact that both of them could use electromagnetic techniques, with Granny Jia and Qinghu here, the outcome... would really be unpredictable.

Qu Jianlei spoke solemnly, "Save some inner breath, be careful he has a trump card."

"Understood," the Paranoid answered casually, raising his hand to release another Thunder Dragon, "I am a combat type genius."

Though he lived for two hundred years neither as human nor ghost, he fought many battles in his mentally and physically sound years.

"A genius appearing every five hundred years in Chaoyang," not only because of his rapid cultivation level advancement.

Qu Jianlei helplessly sent him a burst of spiritual power, "=ε=ε=ε=(/￣▽￣)/"

Although the two could chat openly, there were certain things better kept from the opponent’s ears.

The rare thing is, the Paranoid precisely understood his meaning, and sent back a message, "||||||||"

Thus, the fourth A-level soul was left ignored, allowed to tear at the thunder net.

While the other three "Ghost Kings" – let’s call them that – were already dimming to near dissipation, their tearing effect not very strong.

At the next moment, the bald man finally began to lift his hand, using the finger technique, even though the movement seemed a bit awkward, "Vine!"

From the known information, Adolf indeed had the wood attribute, obviously intending to trap the two with the vine technique.

But the dignified wood attribute supreme used the finger technique and the vines that emerged were surprisingly thin, appearing incredibly weak.

It seems likely due to poor compatibility between his spirit and body, causing this situation.

Yet Qu Jianlei didn’t hesitate, raising his hand to shoot out two fireballs, "Humph!"

"Dual attributes?" the bald man shrieked, "What did I do to offend you all?"

At this moment, a shadow flickered, but it was Qinghu bringing Celestial Sound to the scene.

Beside her, Granny Jia was also present.

Granny heard there were rare soul bodies here, immediately abandoning the task of reception, coming to take a look.

Some supremes only knew to enhance combat power, but many people have a considerable spirit of research, she is of the latter kind.

Granny even spoke proactively, "Outside with those two... no problem!"

Claire may have just advanced to B-level, but at night her ability boost is substantial.

As for the Flower Scorpion, a very qualified assassin, capable of timely recognition and problem-solving.

The bald man was stunned upon seeing this, his eyes widened in disbelief, "Another supreme?"

Celestial Sound didn’t know what Qinghu intended by bringing her here.

She was initially a bit confused, then couldn’t help but shiver, "The aura here... is very strange."

Qu Jianlei didn’t have time to explain more, "Emotion Purification... can you perform it?"

"No problem," Celestial Sound responded simply, raising her hand for the finger technique, "Purification..."

Small white glimmers appeared in the air, emanating soft light.

The small light points danced back and forth in the air, as if joyful little sprites.

When encountering chaotic spiritual power, the small light points were like snow encountering Chi Yang, rapidly dissolving.

The bald elder witnessed this scene, his eyes became wide as saucers, and he rasped from his throat.

"Light, light attribute... B-level, B-level can have such an effect?"

Light attribute’s impact on chaotic emotions, truly significant.

And once emotions dissipate, the spiritual power also disappears into tiny points, as if it never existed.

"This is... quite magical," Qinghu couldn’t help but sigh, "Light attribute techniques have such effects!"

Neither Granny Jia nor the Paranoid spoke, but there was a slight expression of amazement in their eyes.

However, within seconds, Celestial Sound spoke up, "This... takes quite a toll."

"Then stop," Qu Jianlei spoke calmly, "Do you know ’Cage of Light’?"

To a light attribute awakened, "Emotion Purification" is a rather common auxiliary technique, primarily used to assist in combat.

Similar techniques include "Emotion Enhancement", which adjust a warrior’s emotions to boost their courage in battle.

These techniques are quite convenient and necessary to master.

However, the Cage of Light is different, primarily targeting Dark Attribute Awakened individuals.

Of course, if the user has a deep cultivation level, they can also entrap others, but that requires a gap in levels.

So Qu Jianlei is really unsure if Celestial Sound has mastered this technique.

Within the same group, understanding a companion’s abilities is essential for precise tactical coordination.

However, in reality, every awakened individual is careful to hide their trump cards, as being known by others can easily lead to passive positions.

With this consideration, Qu Jianlei doesn’t actively inquire about members’ trump cards—he even underestimated Granny Jia’s adaptability.

Simply put, if others are willing to speak, he listens; if not, he doesn’t ask.

Celestial Sound was stunned for a moment and then hesitantly expressed, "I can do it, but... who should I entrap?"

If you want me to entrap this supreme being, it might be... a bit troublesome.

However, as fate would have it, Qu Jianlei raised his hand and pointed at the bald elder, "Use it on him."

Celestial Sound’s mouth twitched, secretly sighed, raised his hand to begin a finger technique, "Cage of Light!"

A white mist rose around the bald man, growing denser and constantly twisting.

Until the man’s figure began to blur, the white mist formed into a square, gradually solidifying into a cage.

However, the cage’s mesh is not small, basically allowing objects the size of ping-pong balls to pass through.

This type of cage is more than enough to enclose a person, but to entrap spiritual power, that is... somewhat laughable!

Qu Jianlei remained silent, glanced at Granny Jia, and then pointed at the Paranoid, issuing a spiritual signal, "(°ー°〃)"

Granny Jia blinked twice, then nodded.

The Paranoid raised an index finger at her, then pointed at her and extended two fingers, "?"

Granny continued nodding, "!"

The bald elder felt the formation of the cage and already sensed something was wrong—the aura really irritated him.

Seeing the other side acting suspiciously, his anxiety grew, and he couldn’t help but shout, "Don’t push me!"

"Electric Cone!" Qu Jianlei raised his hand for a finger technique, and a small double-pointed shuttle gradually formed in the air.

The shuttle was as thick as a thumb, with a hint of blue in its whiteness, and contained astonishing power of thunder.

This was a technique he invented himself, modeled after ball lightning.

In fact, once cultivation level reaches supreme, everyone can create or modify techniques.

"I..." The bald elder’s expression changed, and his body suddenly stiffened.

The next moment, the electric cone shot towards the bald head at incredible speed.

The electric cone precisely passed through the cage’s mesh and exploded abruptly.

A dazzling white light flashed, as numerous currents traversed the cage, producing a sizzling sound.

The bald elder’s body was slightly charred, and the onlookers could almost smell the scorched protein.

In the next moment, the space trembled slightly, as a ripple appeared at a certain point.

As the ripple spread, everyone was surprised to find that outside the white "Cage of Light," there seemed to be a transparent cage.

The Paranoid’s mouth twitched, giving a cold laugh, "Colorless Golden Cage... you’re quite honored!"

No joke, the colorless gold attribute cage is something only he can achieve.

Strictly speaking, this is also a technique invented by the Paranoid, making its debut in actual combat since its creation!

He already realized earlier that the leader was worried about the enemy’s spiritual power escaping—more precisely, the spirit escaping.

As for whether the spirit is easy to escape... the Paranoid is quite the expert.

Back when Qu Jianlei’s electromagnetic technique tormented him, although he was driven to ecstasy, his master spirit was never captured.

His reply of "|||" indicated his commitment to try his best to entrap the opponent.

However, with his profound understanding of spirits, whether the "Colorless Golden Cage" could enclose the opponent, he had no certainty.

He could only guarantee an appropriate hindrance to the opponent’s escape.

It was only after the leader and Granny Jia communicated spiritually that he realized—extreme cold might just freeze a spirit.

Back on the Transfer Star, his sluggish movements weren’t unrelated to extreme cold.

Therefore, he intended to go first, allowing Jia Shuqing to strike at the opportune moment.

Granny also grasped his intention and unleashed her long-prepared technique upon seeing the Colorless Golden Cage emerge.

"Extreme Ice Seal!"

In the next moment, a slightly bluish mist enveloped the front, followed by a wave of coldness.

However, regrettably, the spiritual power fluctuation broke through the Colorless Golden Cage and then inexplicably twitched.

After twitching, the fluctuation bizarrely appeared outside the blue mist, rapidly rushing towards the wall at incredible speed!

"Trying to escape? Have you asked me?" Qu Jianlei’s spiritual power formed a sharp spike, piercing swiftly towards the opponent.
