Chapter 57: Beast Spirits
Remembering that Sage wasnt privy to their findings, Peak Master Zhen was actually kind enough to explain, Weve already reviewed the core techniques of the Soul Taming Abode. If that really is the Soul Training Grounds youve found, we might have some of the Disciples start training in them. You see, the Soul Taming Abodes core techniques were based upon taming a beast spirit. Normally theyre quite weak, but they have an advantage over regular ghosts in that their will is quite weak.
I see youre still confused so Ill elaborate. Ghosts are remnants of Soul that are clinging to unfulfilled desires or attachments of their former lives. The greater their bonds to things in this world, the more powerful the ghosts become. Unintelligent beast spirits are usually formed by beasts dying too young, or too rapidly. They dont have the time to come to terms with their end and accept death, which leaves behind a spirit. Theyre weak, but also the easiest to tame and control. At least thats what weve learned from the Soul Taming Abodes techniques. They communicate with the beast spirits and build a bond with them like a Master and Servant. The greater the connection the spirit forms with them the more powerful it becomes. The most advanced technique that remained in the library is used by those over Rank 6. Once the soul can leave the body, the Cultivator can permanently fuse their soul with the Beast Spirit. Theres also quite a few techniques to use the beast spirit for combat, support, and tracking. The technique claims that once the soul and beast spirit fuse together they will be just as strong as the Cultivators body and qi, and their methods are far more mysterious and unusual.
Sage had to let all this information sink in before he finally asked, Will these techniques be restricted, or open to the whole Sect?
The Peak Master nodded at the insight of his inquiry, Good question. Ive spoken with the other Peak Masters and were going to allow a few Disciples to test them before determining how beneficial they might be. Theres no telling if the Soul Taming Abode was wiped out or if this is merely an older abandoned dwelling. They might still exist out there and we dont want to make it public knowledge that we are using their techniques unless were sure theyre gone.
Have I found something related to the extinct Seal Masters?
Sage didnt let his errant thoughts distract his studies and quickly started to consume the foundational knowledge related to Seals. There was so much of it that his time ran out quickly and he had to head back. Before leaving Sage made a new copy of the pattern on the door, using the new information hed learned in order to copy down more of the relevant information.
Back at the Soul Taming Abode, Sage picked up his study on Seals and returned to his usual duties. Once he had deciphered that Seal he would return back and see what was behind the door. Unfortunately for him, time was up. Peak Master Zhen informed him that theyd completed the archival of the upper two floors of the library and the time allotted for their exploration expedition was used up. Theyd spent nearly half a year and it was time for the Inner Court Disciples to end this training mission and return to their usual routines. There was a yearly ranking tournament to perform and contribution points to be spent and earned. Like most Sects, the Holy Flame Sect used the spirit of friendly competition to allow their Disciples to grow. Outings like this were used to temper them in the fires of true danger, but they were a rarity and not the norm. All but the most evil of Sects would be eager to protect their Disciples.
The entire library of the Soul Taming Abode was loaded into a few dozen large Storage Chests. These chests were similar to the ones used for food but the arrays embedded in them were tuned to protect against aging rather than temperature. Given that the books werent all uniform in type and style it only made sense they didnt bother with special book carrying apparatus. Before finding out, Sage was imagining they would have special humidity seals to protect paper, only to learn that normal paper books were actually among the minority for Technique Manuals. Most of the valuable ones were stored on arrays carved in stone tablets, spiritual imprints left on special types of jade, or even copied into Memory Spheres.
The other two floors of the library were important as well, but the Storage Chests kept constant temperature and were essentially airless within which seemed to work just fine for storing books. Of course, these concerns were mostly moot as the books would only be in storage for a short period. The special storage chests were merely precautions in the event of tragedy. The Flying Ship would return to the Sect within a few days and the books would be disseminated into the Holy Flame Sects own libraries in short order.
