Chapter 154: Different Methods of Controlling Beasts
Normally, the sect leader is not something that ordinary disciples can see as soon as they want, but now is the annual introductory inspection stage for new disciples, so the sect leader of each sect will condescend to meet the disciples they want to join. Of course, the premise is that these disciples have to seek their own experience. It is not common for them to find them by themselves, like Tianfei and Zhenyuan Xianxian, it is not common. No, it should be said that there is no precedent for them.
Knowing that today is the day of investigation, the sect leader of the Lingfa Sect was waiting in the sect master's hall, so the three of them soon met the sect master.
The main sect leader of the Lingfa Sect, the Qijie True Lord, sounded very fierce, but when he saw the real person, he felt completely different. The main sect leader looked only in his early thirties, with a handsome face, and was dressed in simple white clothes, which was floating in the fairy spirit he wore, and felt like he would go with the wind in the next second.
Not only is he not fierce in appearance, but the Qijie True Lord is also full of fairy spirit in his conversation, always with a feeling of calmness and gentleness. To be honest, this sect leader gave Tianyou a feeling of being sick and blind as a literary youth who could destroy the most saint of the immortal gate that could be pulled out by raising his hand.
Bai Bingyu and Bai Bingqian were both extremely respectful in front of this person, and of course Tianyou did not dare to act rashly. The other party was different from Tianfei and the others. They were not particularly enthusiastic about Tianyou, nor did they know that Tianyou did not have the potential to develop magic, so they were not very concerned. After briefly introducing the characteristics of the Spiritual Dharma Sect, they hinted that Tianyou and the others could retreat, and there was no intention of recruiting them.
Bai Bingyu left the hall and confirmed Tianyou's idea, and confirmed that the Seven Tribulation True Lord should know that Tianyou's talent is not suitable for the Spiritual Dharma Sect, so he was too lazy to waste his energy on him.
The Spiritual Dharma Sect itself is not Tianyou's first choice. Since others don't care, he doesn't care even more. The only thing he is interested in the Spiritual Dharma Sect is Piaomiao Peak, but this thing is obviously not something he can study clearly.
After leaving the Lingfa Sect, the three of them stepped into the Douzhuan Star Movement Array again. It is completely free for new disciples to use the Douzhuan Star Movement Array during the three-day inspection period, otherwise even Bai Bingyu would not dare to use it like this.
The three major sects of Tianwu, Danding and Spiritual Art among the six Zixiao Sects have seen it, but this time the target was selected as the Beast Control Sect.
Tianyou had always thought that the Beast Control Sect was a place that specializes in cultivating users of demon pets, but Bai Bingyu was seriously explaining the knowledge to Tianyou along the way, making him understand that the demon pet was far from representing the Beast Control Sect.
The Beast Control Sect is not just controlling monsters. In fact, humans, monsters, demons, ghosts, spirits, monsters, spirits, beasts, and all living beings are within the scope of the Beast Control Sect. Moreover, the way to control these creatures is divided into many types, not as simple as Tianyou thought before, only demon pets.
These creatures that can assist practitioners are generally divided into three types according to different control methods: mysterious beasts, summoned beasts, and divine generals.
The mysterious beast is a kind of existence bound through soul contracts, subordinate to the practitioners and controlled by the practitioners. Its advantage is that it has a complete self-awareness and high growth potential. If it is well trained, it can become the sharpest blade, the most reliable comrade-in-arms, and the most solid shield in the hands of the practitioners. Of course, on the other hand, these advantages are exactly the disadvantages.
Being self-aware means that the mysterious beast can be a tacit comrade or a traitor who turns against you.
High growth potential means that once the practitioner's progress speed cannot keep up with the pace, he may be overtaken by the mysterious beast, which will lead to the contract collapse and the mysterious beast's out of control.
Although both of these shortcomings seem to be quite serious, in general, the mysterious beast is still a practical and easy-to-use combat force. For most practitioners, what they need to worry about is not the danger of the mysterious beast, but how to get a mysterious beast.
There are only two situations for mysterious beasts, dead or alive. The dead one is to extract the souls of the creature to make soul beads, and then sign a contract with the soul bead to obtain the mysterious beast. The living one is to directly sign a soul contract with the creature to make it a mysterious beast.
Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The resistance to signing a contract with the soul bead is small, the success rate is high, and the disadvantage is that growth is limited and it is difficult to reach the limit. The living mysterious beast is just the opposite. The resistance is very strong when signing the contract, and the cultivator with poor strength is even completely uncontrollable. However, once the signing is successful, the growth of this mysterious beast will be very terrible, and it can become a super combat power that stands alone in the later stage.
Although creatures, including humans, can become mysterious beasts, the cost-effectiveness of using humans to make mysterious beasts is too low, which is criticized. Not to mention that they have no combat effectiveness, and other races are rare, so the most common ones are monsters and wild beasts.
Needless to say, the beast has too low combat power and basically no one can look at it.
Therefore, 99% of the mysterious beasts used by immortal sect practitioners are monsters, which is why many people are used to directly referring to mysterious beasts.
In addition to indicating that the original body of the mysterious beast is a monster, the demon pet also has the word "pet". The meaning of this word is that cultivating mysterious beasts is like training pets. They cannot just cultivate combat power. What is more important is emotional communication. Therefore, compared with the mysterious beast, the word "demon pet" can more appropriately point out the characteristics of the mysterious beast.
Of course, it is not accurate to use demon pets to refer to mysterious beasts, because there are also existences that are not monster types among mysterious beasts. For example, if someone uses zombies as mysterious beasts, this kind of existence is obviously not suitable to be called by demon pets.
In addition to the mysterious beast, the second type of fighting method of the Beast-Driving Sect is to summon beasts.
The mysterious beast is to control real creatures by relying on the soul contract, while the summoning beast is more like a virtual creature built with spells.
To summon summoning beasts, you need to master the corresponding spell first. For example, if you want to summon a skeleton to assist in the battle, you need to learn the spell "summon skeleton warrior". When using the summoning technique, targeted summoning techniques are responsible for building creatures, while the caster is responsible for providing spiritual support.
Because the summoned things are basically equivalent to creatures created by the summoner, there is no resistance at all. However, the intelligence of this summoning object is generally not high, and the summoner cannot command them like an arm. At most, it is to issue some simple commands.
In addition to these shortcomings, there are many other shortcomings of summoned beasts. For example, the summoned beast itself has no growth potential at all, and its combat power depends entirely on the basic template and the spiritual strength of the summoner. In addition, the temporary summoning of the summoned beast requires the cultivator's own spiritual power, which is not as good as that of the mysterious beast.
In general, the combat power of summoned beasts is high at first, but it is not as good as that of the mysterious beasts that grow up in the later stage, and it is a very different kind. But as a cheap and easy-to-use thing, summoned beasts are still the first choice for many practitioners. After all, not everyone can get mysterious beasts.
The last combat power of the Beast Control Sect is called the God General. Bai Bingyu doesn't know much about this thing, because she has never seen it herself, so the explanation is not very clear.
Tianyou only roughly learned from Bai Bingyu's introduction that the gods should be an existence similar to the guardian god. They generally do not participate in the battle directly, but as long as the gods exist, it will bring a comprehensive improvement in strength to the summoner. Of course, how much can be improved and what abilities will be added depends on which gods are summoned, and the gods can appear in combination. Multiple gods will appear at the same time and even combine skills.
The three types of existences of mysterious beasts, summoning beasts, and gods constitute the main power system of the Beast Control Sect. But just like the computer department in universities still needs to learn advanced mathematics, the Beast Control Sect does not only teach the application of three summoning objects. They also need to learn some surrounding things, such as... the extraction and production of soul beads.
When Tianyou encountered the Fire Pig King in Qingyuan Mountain, he saw Lu Meng extracting the soul beads. The soul beads are a necessary skill, and all disciples of Zixiao Palace have to learn it. However, the Beast Control Sect is more detailed. Not only do they need to learn to extract the soul beads, but they also need to learn how to turn the soul beads into mysterious beasts that can be summoned.
