Chapter 750: Section 538: Rewriting the Letter for Little Prince
Divine Arts—Soul Link.
A pale blue soul chain first created such a close connection between Cang Xu and the Little Prince.
The Little Prince cast a curious look at the soul chain.
He could feel the fragility of the chain, knowing that a bit more resistance from him would cause it to shatter.
This had already been verified by Cang Xu onboard the Deep Sea Monster Fish. At that time, he faced an Extraordinary Fishman who was not a Mage and did not reach the Silver Level, and his condition was also bad, yet he could directly break the soul chain.
Thus, this Divine Art was difficult to use in battle and was only applicable in the current scenario.
The Little Prince cooperated actively, without any resistance.
He was a skeleton, his eye sockets void, but Cang Xu could feel some emotions from the Little Prince toward him by the way he looked up at him and the link through the soul chain.
Guilt, closeness, and a faint admiration.
When Cang Xu first returned, he did not hold the Little Prince accountable, which intensified the latter’s feelings of guilt multiple times.
Therefore, Cang Xu had leveraged the Little Prince’s guard, and their relationship had made a breakthrough.
Afterward, Cang Xu had schemed against the Fin Spirit as revenge.
He and the Fin Spirit had engaged in a splendid game revolving around the ship ghost. The Fin Spirit wanted to use the power of the ship ghost to help her deal with Cang Xu. Meanwhile, Cang Xu used the situation to neutralize the ship ghost’s plan against him, successfully sending the entire Da Ji Tribe to the Blood Sacrifice Transmission.
The Little Prince and Ku Feng had long held grudges against the Fin Spirit, and Cang Xu’s direct confrontation with her provided them with great satisfaction at that moment!
After that, when Cang Xu returned a second time, the outcome again surprised everyone.
Cang Xu had mastered a set of Divine Arts in the Ocean Nest, helping the Da Ji Tribe, causing many Fishmen to convert successfully and survive.
This move by Cang Xu was truly brilliant!
On one hand, he successfully divided the Da Ji Tribe.
On the other, he had leverage over the Fin Spirit, causing her to hesitate in her actions.
Finally, because of this, Cang Xu’s status rose dramatically, earning him greater trust from the Charming Blue Sect, and Zhou Zhang even removed the double seal on him that very day.
Even if the Little Prince did not understand politics, from Cang Xu’s series of actions, he felt a certain exceptional ability in the latter, naturally leading to feelings of admiration.
"Our relationship has become closer."
"In the future, he will be a great ally in dealing with the Fin Spirit!"
"Unfortunately, time is still too short, and my influence on him is not yet comparable to that of the ship ghost."
Thinking this, Cang Xu stealthily glanced at the ship ghost standing before him.
His deployment of the Divine Art to guide the Little Prince’s faith was done in front of the ship ghost.
In fact, it was the ship ghost who had initially suggested it.
Cang Xu found it hard to refuse, so he agreed on the spot, very straightforwardly.
The ship ghost was hypocritical, but very adept at maintaining its facade, deceiving the Little Prince, Ku Feng, and the Fin Spirit.
The ship ghost’s influence over the three was significant, a result of many years of deep cultivation.
It was not something Cang Xu could match with a short effort.
Divine Arts—Spiritual Teaching.
Cang Xu pulled from his memories, instilling them into the Little Prince.
In a moment, various doctrines of the Charming Blue Sect, along with Cang Xu’s understanding of them, were transmitted through the soul link deep into the soul of the Skull Mage.
The Little Prince gained a lot, exclaiming, "So, there is this layer of meaning to the Charming Blue doctrines."
His understanding of the doctrines, under the effect of this spell, reached the same level as Cang Xu.
Although it had been several days since Cang Xu’s second return, this was the first time he had guided the Little Prince in matters of faith.
In fact, lacking self-confidence, the Little Prince had long invited Cang Xu to make a move on him.
Cang Xu diplomatically delayed, providing a very adequate reason.
Cang Xu proposed: The first guidance in faith was very important and must be approached with caution. If the first attempt failed, subsequent attempts, no matter how numerous, would not have a great effect.
It was best to utilize the moment of the Blood Sacrifice Transmission, under the intense pressure of death, to perform the first conversion!
Only under these circumstances could the effect of the first conversion maximize its impact.
Not only did Cang Xu provide his suggestion, but he also used himself as an example to support it, "The first time for me was in the nest, under the intense pressure of death brought by the Holy Beast, that I managed to break through my limits."
"I believe the Charming Blue God placed His Holy Beast in the nest precisely to leverage the intense pressure of death to foster faith."
These words from Cang Xu convinced not only the Little Prince but also the ship ghost.
Thus, there was this conversion before the Blood Sacrifice Transmission!
Divine Arts—Spiritual Navigation.
With this Divine Art, an image of the Charming Blue God automatically emerged from the depths of the Little Prince’s heart.
The spiritual power within the Little Prince naturally flowed into the image of the god, just as water flows downhill.
After the completion of the Divine Art, Cang Xu asked the Little Prince what he had seen.
The Little Prince answered truthfully, it was a statue of Charming Blue.
He then asked, "Is there a problem?"
Cang Xu explained with a smile, "The function of this Divine Art is actually location transmission."
"However, most spatial transmissions involve sending the spellcaster or the target of the spell. But this Divine Art acts on the individual’s spiritual power."
"Over the past few days, I have used this Divine Art multiple times and have gained a deeper understanding of it."
"I discussed it with Master Zhou Zhang, and have received further insights from him."
"Master Zhou Zhang greatly values this Divine Art because it directly connects believers and the deity itself. Unlike usual prayers where the believers’ spiritual power accumulates in statues, altars, churches, and such facilities before being conveyed to the deity."
"The Charming Blue statue you just saw is actually the deity itself. It’s just that it appeared as a statue because of your closeness, understanding, and level of faith towards the God Charming Blue."
"If you were closer and more worshipful of the God Charming Blue, understood the doctrines deeper, and had a firmer faith in Him, you would see not a statue but deeper symbols such as altars and churches."
The Little Prince suddenly realized, "So that’s how it is."
Although simple-minded, he was a Mage after all and understood the hidden meaning in Cang Xu’s words.
Right away, the Little Prince worriedly said to himself, "I only saw the statue, which means my faith in the God Charming Blue isn’t that profound. This time participating in the Blood Sacrifice Transmission could be disastrous!"
Cang Xu quickly comforted him, "The first time I used Spiritual Navigation, I saw the God Charming Blue’s statue as well."
"But now, during navigation, I can already see the Golden Level altar that we are using!"
"Just keep going, and you will surely be able to do the same."
Cang Xu’s expression turned grave: "The next Divine Art is the most critical!"
He instructed the Little Prince, "Follow me in prayer, there might be severe pain during the process, please endure it, and do not stop praying."
Even after the Divine Art is completed, keep praying and try to maintain it as long as possible.
The Little Prince nodded, indicating he understood.
Cang Xu began to pray.
"Great God Charming Blue, I praise Thy kindness. As high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is Thy mercy towards those who fear Thee; as far as the east is from the west, so far hast Thou removed our transgressions from us..."
While praying, Cang Xu enacted the Divine Art—Synchronized Conversion!
Instantly, the pale blue chain connecting them burst into dazzling brilliance.
Cang Xu’s Divine Power, spiritual power, and even the essence of his soul were rapidly depleted.
At the same time, the Little Prince’s soul underwent fierce transformation; intense pain surged from the depths of his soul, nearly overwhelming his consciousness.
Fortunately, the Little Prince had prepared himself mentally beforehand and managed to maintain his sanity.
He followed Cang Xu, praying softly.
The effect was immediate!
As his soul was transformed, his prayers became more effective than ever before.
This significant improvement was deeply felt by the Little Prince.
At this moment, the ship ghost could not hide the piercing sharpness in its eyes!
"Synchronized Conversion Divine Art? It can modify someone else’s soul!"
"I see."
"Gods nurture their believers by nourishing their bodies and souls with Divine Power, transforming them into vessels more suited to Divine Power."
"Synchronized Conversion Divine Art works on this principle; it compresses the process of Divine Power transformation into a short period. And the template for soul transformation is the practitioner of the Divine Art!"
"This Divine Art not only consumes Divine Power but also drains the spirit and the soul of the Divine Officer! It uses the soul of the Divine Officer as a material for the spell, similar to how we use Soul Crystals."
Ship ghost, being a member of the Undead Orthodoxy, after observing, unearthed the truth of this Divine Art.
He was greatly shocked.
The spells of the Undead Orthodoxy had been deeply studied by other powers, and this instance of Synchronized Conversion Divine Art had even moved to the forefront of the Undead Orthodoxy from another direction!
With a heart still trembling, the ship ghost also let go of previous worries.
From Cang Xu’s second return, he had been gathering intelligence about Cang Xu.
From the Fishmen of the Da Ji Tribe, he gained much secret knowledge about Cang Xu’s new Divine Arts. Since coming into contact with this information, the ship ghost surmised the effects on soul transformation.
Today was merely a direct witness.
"Fortunately, before this, I had also controlled Cang Xu, tampering with his soul."
"If Cang Xu were not controlled, the Little Prince, remodeled according to his soul template, would have had the backdoors in his soul wiped clean!"
Ship ghost had set control backdoors on Ku Feng, the Little Prince, the Fin Spirit, and Cang Xu.
This was his confidence so far and his deepest reason for trusting other Undead.
Just as the ship ghost had guessed, after about ten seconds, Cang Xu voluntarily stopped the Divine Art of Synchronized Conversion.
Cang Xu was gasping for breath, his vision momentarily darkening.
With his guidance gone, the excruciating pain in the Little Prince’s soul suddenly lessened, but lingering pain remained.
