Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive

Chapter 444: Chapter 297: Celestial Sea (Part 2)

"Furthermore, the Spiritual Model embedded into a Soul Technique must be compatible with the technique’s type. Otherwise, you’ll get twice the effort for half the result—an adverse effect that actually weakens its power."

"The more complex the embedded Spiritual Model, the more comprehensive its functions, and the better its synergy with the Soul Technique, the more it can amplify the technique’s destructive power and other effects, both positive and negative. To give you an idea of the power increase, even the simplest model, building upon the foundation of Gathering Spirit and compressing Spiritual Energy, can boost destructive power by at least five times."

"As Beast Masters, our role at this stage is to help our Soul Beasts. Besides designing compatible Spiritual Models for them, our only other contribution is to use our own Spiritual Power to guide them as they construct the models, preventing them from making unnecessary mistakes."

Sage explained, tossing a fireball that radiated scorching heat up and down in his hand,

"Spiritual Models are divided into three main categories based on the type of Soul Technique: Attack, Defense, and Status. A single Soul Technique can contain multiple models—whether they’re identical or different, simple or complex. Ultimately, it all comes down to the seamless cooperation between the Beast Master and their Soul Beast."

"I once took a spiritual oath that prevents me from passing on my order’s teachings to outside Beast Masters. I can only teach you some of the most basic Spiritual Models, the ones specifically applicable to Soul Beasts. However... your human lineage of Spiritual Power Meditation Techniques is highly advanced. It ought to have its own set of accompanying Soul Beast Spiritual Models."

"Of course we do," Han Ning said with a smile.

’I had already planned to use the panel to learn about Divine Will a while ago.’

’It’s just that... I’ve tried asking the panel in all sorts of ways, but the only thing with related content is that "Pseudo-Divine Will" Spiritual Secret Technique.’

’In the end, I deduced that the relevant information would most likely be in the Intermediate level of the Four Symbols Meditation Technique.’

’The Meditation Technique all humans practice is just the Basic Level of the Four Symbols Meditation Technique.’

’To unlock the Intermediate Meditation Technique, I need to spend 500,000 Energy.’

"Alright, I’ll transmit the basic spiritual structures to you first. It’ll be easier for you to cross-reference them with your own people’s teachings." Sage dispelled the fireball, took two steps forward, and touched a finger to the center of Han Ning’s forehead.

A stream of unfamiliar spiritual information flowed into Han Ning’s mind.

It was as if he had received a book titled *Basic Divine Will Spiritual Model Analysis*, only it had been transmitted directly into his mind as a stream of Spiritual Power.

The contents of *Basic Divine Will Spiritual Model Analysis* were sparse, covering only six models in a few hundred words. It was, to say the least, incredibly basic.

The six models were, for the Attack category: Sharpness and High-Speed;

For the Defense category: Weight and Solid Wall;

And for the Status category: Extension and Conservation.

The models could also be combined.

After standing stunned for two minutes, Han Ning finally came to his senses and gave Sage a deep bow. "Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Teacher Sage."

"Ling~" "Cheep!" "Coo~"

The three Soul Beasts copied their master, bowing as well.

"Think nothing of it. We’re just helping each other," Sage said with a smile, his expression placid.

...

「A month and a half went by in the blink of an eye.」

Back on the long, slender deck of Grey’s tail.

Yin Yi floated gently in mid-air. Before it, an Emerald Flower Thorns over three meters long had materialized.

Unlike a month and a half ago, intricate runes now flowed across the surface of the Flower Thorns.

The Flower Thorns emitted almost no fluctuations. It didn’t seem to be condensed from Spiritual Energy; instead, it looked more like a genuine gemstone dug from a mine.

A light flashed in Han Ning’s eyes. Staring at the runes flowing across the Flower Thorns’ surface, he nodded. "Very good. Next, embed the third model: Sharpness!"

"Ling..."

Yin Yi poured all of its focus into the task, and faint waves of energy pulsed outward from its body.

At the same time, a new layer of twisted, arrow-shaped runes appeared on the magnificent Flower Thorns.

The runes, like ink printed on paper, began coiling around the individual thorns on the structure.

But just as Yin Yi finished embedding about half a circuit of runes onto the Flower Thorns...

The calmly rotating Flower Thorns suddenly began to tremble violently, erupting in a brilliant, emerald-green light.

Han Ning, who had been on high alert, saw his expression change. He hurriedly sent a telepathic message, "This is bad! Throw it away!"

"Ling!"

Yin Yi shuddered and hastily directed the Flower Thorns into the deep clouds below.

A moment later, a green light flashed from within the dark clouds, and the sound of an explosion was carried toward them on the wind.

After more than a month of cultivation and with his help, Yin Yi had successfully fused two Spiritual Models from *Basic Divine Will Spiritual Model Analysis*—High-Speed and Conservation—and embedded them into its Emerald Flower Thorns.

Even though they were just two simple models, the process had taken over a month.

As a result, the power of the Flower Thorns had increased by at least fivefold.

’That’s not bad,’ Han Ning thought, letting out a long sigh of relief as he gently patted Yin Yi’s back. ’I bet in another half a month, we can embed the Sharpness model into the Flower Thorns. By then, I should have enough Energy to unlock the Intermediate Meditation Technique.’

Due to his limited Energy, he had been torn between unlocking the Intermediate Meditation Technique and using the Energy to create Energy Cores to help his Soul Beasts advance to Lord IV.

In the end, he chose to prioritize increasing his Soul Beasts’ strength.

He reasoned that it would take some time to first comprehend the Spiritual Models and then embed them into the Soul Techniques. The Energy he could gather during that period would be enough to unlock the Intermediate Meditation Technique anyway.

Besides, the stronger his Soul Beasts were, the faster they could gather ambient Energy. It was like the old saying: sharpening the axe doesn’t delay the chopping.

So now, all three of Han Ning’s Soul Beasts—Yin Yi, Egg Pancake, and the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm—had advanced to Lord IV.

The only exception was Fei Lin, who had broken through less than two months ago. She was still consolidating her new realm, so there was no rush for her.

Just then, the sound of light footsteps reached his ears, followed by Ah Yu’s voice.

"Lord Han Ning, lunch is ready. Lord Qing Fan has invited you to join them at the Cloud Sea Pavilion."

"Oh! Is it noon already? ...Let’s go." Han Ning signaled for his Soul Beasts to shrink down, then turned and walked toward Ah Yu.

"Cheep~ Cheep~"

"Easy there, Egg Pancake. We’ll be eating soon. There should be some lava ice cream for you."

Han Ning smiled, comforting Egg Pancake on his shoulder as he walked off the tail deck side-by-side with Ah Yu.

After more than a month of travel, the developed area on Grey’s back looked noticeably different.

The once-barren landscape was now lined with exquisitely manicured green lawns on both sides of the roads, dotted with numerous small green plants.

Han Ning’s current destination was a small building called the Cloud Sea Pavilion.

The pavilion had been built near the edge of Grey’s right side, a joint project led by Teacher Liang from the human side and Qing Fan of the Dragon Blood Race. It was a commercial restaurant that served specialty dishes for the three races—humans, the Dragon Blood, and the Hexagon People.

It was said that from inside the restaurant, you could get an unobstructed, panoramic view of the sea of clouds below.

The three races had a long history of commerce. With over 4,000 Beast Masters alone on the Gray Demon Whale, there was a constant need to trade all sorts of goods every day. As a result, outside of regular work hours, the "Tri-Race Commercial Street" located along the centerline of Grey’s back was exceptionally bustling.

The Cloud Sea Pavilion was an elegant, classical-style building.

The building was five stories tall, its architectural style clearly modeled after that of the Ancient Xia Country. A little farther off, there was even a small, open-air platform of about 200 square meters.

"One, two, three... five stories! Wow, it’s gorgeous. I’ve never seen a building this beautiful before."

"Look at you, so uncultured. This is the Ancient Xia Country style."

"Humans are so meticulous with this stuff. Not like us from the Dragon Blood Race. We can just throw up a log cabin and call it home."

Outside the Cloud Sea Pavilion, a crowd of Beast Masters from the three races had gathered.

It was currently the shift change, a time for rest, and people were gathered in small groups. Some of the Dragon Blood and Hexagon People, who had never seen the Ancient Xia Country style before, gazed up at the classical building, letting out various cries of admiration.
