Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

Chapter 817 - 520: Gold Totem, New Projects, and a Quantum Leap in Power! (Part 2)

Ordinary summoned beasts are born through the power of alternate planes.

They basically have no intelligence, only instincts, and do not understand active growth and cultivation, nor do they think or learn.

They are inherently ’spiritual creatures without intelligence,’ possessing strength but not wisdom from their beginning.

Typically, after a long period of time, there is a certain probability that this kind of ’spiritual creature without intelligence’ will autonomously awaken intelligence and understand thinking and learning.

Corresponding to ’spiritual creatures without intelligence’ are ’spiritual intelligent creatures.’

Humans from Blue Star naturally belong to one type of ’spiritual intelligent creatures.’

Furthermore, certain human professionals like Totem Sealing Masters can use special methods to impart intelligence to ’spiritual creatures without intelligence,’ thus omitting the long period of intelligence awakening.

One relatively gentle method is to deeply bind the energy core of the spiritual creatures without intelligence with human professionals.

In terms of years, allowing them to gain wisdom through humans.

Spiritual creatures without intelligence that awaken through this method will have values highly consistent with their human enlighteners and naturally feel close to humans.

They will view humans as their kind and establish a connection of life and spirit with the enlighteners.

Additionally, professionals like the Totem Sealing Masters can better utilize external energy through their ’Lifebound Totem Spirit.’

This is beneficial for both humans and spiritual creatures without intelligence from alternate planes.

Speaking of which, the Death Elf Vigus that Fang Zhou obtained in the Forest of Nature is essentially similar to a Totem Spirit.

Just that in the contract between Fang Zhou and Vigus, Fang Zhou holds absolute initiative, and the two parties are not equal.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhou realized and continued to ask: "Are you planning to cultivate the evil spirit clone of the Undead Demon Champion I captured into a Lifebound Spirit?"

However, Ye Haitang denied: "No, your situation is quite different from mine, and your Glory Champion Soul Body cannot be cultivated into a Lifebound Spirit."

"Hmm?" Fang Zhou showed a look of confusion.

Master Sandro explained: "Instructor Ye’s Glory Champion Soul Body is different from the Glory Champion Soul Body you captured...

Spiritual Clothes is inherently a spiritual creature without intelligence; before contacting Instructor Ye, she hadn’t interacted with any spiritual intelligent creatures.

She is like a blank sheet of paper upon which a painting can be made.

But yours is different.

Your Glory Champion Soul Body comes from an heinously sinful Undead Demon Champion.

It doesn’t have even a shred of opportunity for human understanding."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou furrowed his brow.

Ye Haitang added: "Yes, the method Master Sandro previously mentioned for awakening intelligence in spiritual creatures without intelligence is relatively gentle and beneficial to us humans without harm.

But there exists another method that we humans deeply resent, which is by devouring intelligent creatures.

Decades ago, Abyssal Demons invaded our Blue Star, creating countless disasters and devouring numerous of our fellow humans.

After being expelled from our human homeland, Abyssal Demons showed no signs of retreat but continuously harassed our human development.

Moreover, they engage in population trade, setting up enemies for us humans everywhere."

As she spoke, Ye Haitang’s brows furrowed and she didn’t hide her murderous intent: "Therefore, towards Abyssal Demons, especially high-level Abyssal Demons at the Glory Champion Level, we always want to kill them swiftly."

Ye Haitang’s malevolent aura seemed to manifest, lowering the surrounding temperature several degrees.

Talking about such matters, Su Xinyan also lost her gentle demeanor, expressing her disgust similarly: "The heinous acts of Abyssal Demons have incredibly malicious impacts.

Their targets for selling population are some forces and races in the Mythical World we humans haven’t reached yet.

Abyssal Demons use humans to help these Mythical World races ’awaken intelligence.’

Regardless of whether those Mythical World races accept the humans sold by the Abyssal Demons actively or passively, ’devouring humans’ is their unforgivable original sin.

Humans cannot cooperate or develop with those cannibalistic monsters.

Abyssal Demons are stifling potential partners for us humans.

They continuously establish mortal enemies for us humans, and we’ve suffered quite a bit in this aspect."

Instructor Su Xinyan’s addition made Fang Zhou more deeply aware of the destructive power caused by population trafficking towards humans.

He murmured: "So that’s how it is, it’s truly condemnable...

No wonder there’s such severe action against population trafficking."

Not to mention alternate plane monsters, in Fang Zhou’s knowledge, even rare animals that endanger human life, prey on humans, should be executed.

That’s the bottom line of a race.

Master Sandro continued: "The position and thought of Abyssal Demons are extremely hostile to us humans.

If Instructor Ye’s ’Spiritual Clothes’ is a blank sheet, then the soul body of the Abyssal Demon Champion is a piece of black paper full of sins.

We hope Fang Zhou can obtain growth assistance through the Glory Champion’s soul body.

But the specific approach is not to let this soul body become your Lifebound Spirit, but to completely erase residual demon will in the soul body, turning it into your servant, tool, or clone...."

The topic returned to Fang Zhou himself.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou thought for a moment and asked: "Will it be a hassle?"

Faced with this question, none of the three Golden Great Mages present could provide an explicit answer for a while.

Finally, Ye Haitang said: "When I encountered Spiritual Clothes, she was a complete but unawakened Glory Champion creature.

And I was already at the Silver Tier level with a fully developed Liquid Mana Core.

Even with that, my Mana Core experienced tremendous resistance while accommodating Spiritual Clothes.

Even now, I haven’t fully withstand the Glory Champion power of Spiritual Clothes.

But Spiritual Clothes is a blank sheet.

Her instinct is to seek enlightenment from me, and she cooperates actively, which greatly eases my pressure."

Ye Haitang explained her situation without reservation.

It seems just as she mentioned, the Lifebound Totem Spirit at the Glory Champion level brings a great burden to her, leaving her pale, atmosphere gloomy, unapproachable to others.

Then she changed her tone: "And Fang Zhou, as I understand it currently, your sealing of the Undead Demon Champion’s evil spirit soul body only holds some of the power of the Demon Champion.

Although it has the nature of Glory Champion and parts of the Glory Champion’s will, it’s ultimately not a complete Glory Champion.

Moreover, under Admiral Zhu Rong’s attack, it lost contact with the demon’s main body.

This might be why you managed to suppress this Demon Champion Soul Body with your Bronze Tier level and underdeveloped Gaseous Mana Core.

However, this Demon Champion Soul Body innately resists all moves you make against it; you and it should be in a life-or-death relationship.

This is the difficulty I perceive.

We can help suppress this Demon Champion Soul Body causing trouble.

But to kill its will and turn it for self-use, you must face the spiritual will of the Demon Champion with your Bronze Tier spiritual will.

This clash of wills in the domain is something we cannot offer direct effective assistance with through external forces."

As they walked and chatted, by now, they had reached the central area of the Undead Mage’s research project group.

Master Sandro stopped, turned, and said: "Fang Zhou, based on your current situation, we plan to establish three projects on you.

One of which is the assessment of your professional talent, which will be handed over to Instructor Su Xinyan and her research team.

The second project, headed by Great Mage Ye Haitang, focuses on developing and guiding the use of your Demon Champion Soul Body.

The third project is your ’graduation journey.’

You have already surpassed your peers significantly in level, even the training plan set up for Seed Students by Sea City Military Academy no longer suits you.

In order to tap into talent potential, we intend to tailor a graduation plan for you, aiming for you to master as much knowledge as possible in the shortest time, letting your wisdom and experience keep pace with the growth rate of your power...
