Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system Chapter 587: Ch-586: Eternal Soul Cultivation Technique

"Tian Chenyu, do you have a Soul Cultivation technique?" Du Hai yanked Wang Ming from his reverie. He shut the tab, stared at him puzzled, and muttered, "Soul cultivation?"

Du Hai furrowed his brows upon seeing the confusion and turned to Tian Xue with a puzzled look. Tian Xue regarded Du Hai steadily and stated, "The youngsters don't receive the family Soul Cultivation technique until they've hit the Peak of the Pure Core Realm. That's why I haven't handed it to him so far."

It clicked for Du Hai, prompting a nod. As an Eternal himself, despite his familiarity with the Tian Family elders and Tian Xue, he remained largely ignorant of their internal matters. The Du Family, another Eternal clan, operated under distinct rules for its clansmen.

"Hmm, could someone clarify what a Soul Cultivation technique entails?" Wang Ming inquired cautiously. Though the title hinted at its nature, he sought precise details.

"You don't know?" Du Hai eyed him oddly, while Tian Family members displayed bizarre looks, leaving Wang Ming somewhat embarrassed. Their expressions suggested it was basic info even kids grasped.

Assuming forgetfulness, Du Hai elaborated, "You know the stage following Pure Core Realm is Soul Transformation Realm, correct?"

Wang Ming affirmed with a nod. The system had mentioned it, leading him to think spiritual energy cultivation sufficed, yet this revealed otherwise, sparking a notion in his thoughts.

"Good. Perhaps you overlooked Soul Cultivation techniques, yet reaching the next realm demands not just spiritual energy cultivation but soul strength nurturing too," Du Hai clarified, shocking Wang Ming.

"What?"

"Why the shock, Tian Chenyu? Everyone knows this," Tian Xue questioned, eyes narrowing.

"Haha, truth is, I haven't studied cultivation past the Pure Core Realm much," Wang Ming chuckled, scratching his head.

"Figures," Tian Xue huffed disdainfully, shooting Wang Ming a stern glance.

'My disciple's freakish talent has bred laziness and overconfidence,' Du Hai mused, eyes sharpening, making Wang Ming appear sheepish under the scrutiny.

"Allow me to elaborate if you wish. Once at Soul Transformation stage, soul-based assaults become available— the most cunning and lethal kind. Weak soul strength leaves you vulnerable to even inferior realm foes. Conversely, potent soul strength lets you slay superior realm cultivators," Du Hai expounded.

'I already slay higher-realm cultivators,' Wang Ming pondered, then queried the system: 'System, got any Soul Cultivation techniques, physiques, or methods for purchase?'

[System Message: You can, but you need to upgrade the shop first.]

'Upgrade?' Wang Ming squinted, pulling up the shop interface.

< Cultivation Shop Level:2 (Note: Breakthrough to the Soul Formation realm to upgrade the shop and unlock new items) >

< Current Dual Cultivation Points: 4.5million >

< Current debt: zero>

Got it—breakthrough first, then, Wang Ming mused, dismissing the shop.

"Here, catch." Abruptly, Du Hai flung a scroll his way, which Wang Ming snatched mid-air.

"Open it," Du Hai urged with an enigmatic grin. Wang Ming arched a brow yet complied, unfurling the scroll.

"Eternal Soul Cultivation Technique," Wang Ming whispered the title, sensing the room's mood shift instantly. Glancing around, he saw elders and the patriarch fixated on the scroll with greedy, jealous gazes.

"The mightiest Soul Cultivation technique… you're bestowing it upon him? Does this imply—" Tian Xue gasped in astonishment.

"Indeed, he's now my personal disciple," Du Hai declared casually, observing their reactions. Their eyes bulged, breaths quickening.

Hiss—

Gasps echoed as all drew sharp inhales, eyeing Tian Chenyu with intensified jealousy. Unaware as a newcomer to this lore, Wang Ming stood oblivious, but the rest knew well. Du Hai reigned as the top Soul Cultivator, wielding the supreme soul technique—legendarily used by gods themselves. He'd never imparted it before, slaying seekers with devastating soul arts effortlessly. Now, Wang Ming became its second inheritor.

"Disciple Wang Ming, will you take me as your master?" Du Hai inquired lightly, lips twisting in intrigued amusement.

"Without a second thought, Wang Ming replied, "Of course, it would be my honor." Declining the role of personal disciple to a sect master would make him a complete idiot, and from the looks on their faces, this appeared to be the supreme soul cultivation technique—one Du Hai reserved solely for his direct disciple. At present, the system shop offered him no soul techniques, so this represented his prime opportunity.

"Go on, learn it," Du Hai urged, and Wang Ming nodded while channeling his spiritual energy into the scroll. The instant his spiritual energy flowed inside, a fresh wave of information surged into his mind. Simultaneously, a new line of text materialized on his retina.
