Chapter 722: Chapter 612: The First Daoist Soldier (2)

"Fusion, begin."

Jeming summoned all the Incense Fire Divine Power he had accumulated during this period.

The power condensed from the faith of tens of billions of believers slowly poured into the Refined Gold body under the guidance of his Spiritual Power.

The Incense Fire Divine Power not only stabilized the state of the remnant Soul, but also, under the guidance of the Daoist Soldiers system, acted as a mediator to fuse the Refined Gold, the core, and the remnant Soul into a single whole.

An Energy channel was established between body and core, a Spiritual connection between core and remnant Soul, and a perception circuit between remnant Soul and body.

The Incense Fire Divine Power slowly circulated within the body, recombining with the remnant Soul and constructing a Soul completely subordinate to the Incense Fire Divine Dao.

Very soon, a complete Daoist Soldier took shape.

But this was only the first step.

Next came a long period of nurturing.

This process required time, and the longer it took, the stronger the Daoist Soldier’s combat power would become.

Jeming was in no hurry. At this stage he didn’t lack combat power anyway; he had plenty of time to wait.

Besides, he could also give it a boost.

Jeming took out that vial of Emperor’s Flow Nectar and twisted open the cap.

Pale golden droplets floated out of the bottle, traced a beautiful arc through the air, and landed between the brows of the Refined Gold Daoist Soldier.

The moment the droplet fused in, the Refined Gold body trembled violently once.

Then those tightly shut eyes opened.

Although there was still a trace of confusion and bewilderment in its gaze, there was also a certain degree of Spiritual brightness, opening like a newborn baby seeing the world for the first time.

Those eyes were pale gold, with countless fine points of light flowing deep within the pupils.

It looked at Jeming, its gaze filled with awe, dependence, and an indescribable sense of intimacy.

"Looks good. How is your state of consciousness, can you speak?"

It turned its head, looked at Jeming, and spoke for the first time, its voice low and gentle: "Master."

Jeming froze for a moment, then smiled.

The effect of the Emperor’s Flow Nectar was indeed impressive.

The greatest trait of this substance was not Enhanced Power, but the bestowal of Spirituality.

Ordinary Daoist Soldiers could only mechanically execute orders, whereas Daoist Soldiers that used Emperor’s Flow Nectar possessed a much higher ceiling, and even... the ability to cultivate independently.

"Thank you, Master, for granting me Life." The Daoist Soldier rose and half-kneeled respectfully in front of Jeming.

Jeming waved his hand: "Get up. Looks like you’re in good shape. Let’s run some tests first."

"Yes!"

The Daoist Soldier followed Jeming out, and the two quickly arrived at the testing field.

"Come, first item: basic abilities. Let me see your overall level."

Jeming operated the light screen beside him a few times, and various Detection Arrays immediately rose up around the Daoist Soldier.

The Daoist Soldier raised his right hand and blasted out a punch.

No Energy was used—this was pure physical strength.

The punch wind stirred up a gale in the lab, making the Defense Runes on the walls buzz.

Jeming glanced at the monitoring data.

Strength output: Sixth Level.

"Slightly lower than a Black Giant of the same Level." Jeming began recording various data at the side.

But considering this Daoist Soldier had just been born and still had immense room for growth, this result was completely acceptable.

"Then the second item: special abilities. Come, try the two modified Magic techniques I added for you."

At his words, the Daoist Soldier raised his left hand, and a blinding red light condensed in his palm.

Fire Extinction Divine Light.

Jeming narrowed his eyes. The monitored Energy output was... Peak of Sixth Level, close to Seventh Level.

The Daoist Soldier then unfolded Ruins Armor, and an invisible light shield enveloped his whole body.

The defensive intensity was also at the Peak of Sixth Level.

"Not bad. Looks like there was nothing wrong with my Array installation."

The third item: Black Giant Talents.

The Daoist Soldier’s skin gradually turned black, which meant he had begun to devour light and absorb heat.

Jeming kept adjusting the testing Arrays at the side to examine his state.

"Energy absorption ability intact, time manipulation ability intact, physical resistance intact... looks like he’s perfectly inherited the Black Giant racial Talents. And because I simulated Melt Mountain’s body structure, there’s a complete Soul stabilization layer inside the body." Jeming nodded repeatedly.

This meant that as the nurturing period lengthened, the Daoist Soldier would automatically advance toward Seventh Level without any external intervention.

"Then we can proceed to the fourth item, recovery ability test."

Jeming had the Daoist Soldier sever one arm. The severed limb turned into golden liquid, flowed back to the shoulder, and recondensed into an arm, moving freely.

"According to the book, after a Daoist Soldier and the Daoist Soldiers system undergo Fusion, unless the Incense Fire Divine Dao collapses, they can be considered, in a certain sense, an undying and indestructible existence..."

As he recalled these details, Jeming came up with an even bolder idea: "Try to self-destruct your core."

"Yes."

The Refined Gold Daoist Soldier silently nodded, then unhesitatingly triggered the collapse of his own core.

His body also disintegrated instantly, turning into countless golden light points that dispersed into the air.

But through the Incense Fire Divine Dao, Jeming sensed that those light points had not vanished; they were absorbed by the Faith network of the Incense Fire Divine Dao.

A moment later, the light points reconverged at the center of the lab, and the Refined Gold Daoist Soldier appeared there completely unharmed, resurrected from the Incense Fire Divine Dao network.

"Hmm... that consumed quite a lot of Incense Fire Divine Power, and this is still with him already within the Incense Fire Divine Dao system, where all the expended power could be perfectly recycled." Jeming sensed the depletion of the reserve of Incense Fire Divine Power he had collected over this period.

"If he died while campaigning outside, the Incense Fire Divine Power consumed should be even greater. But overall, it does indeed allow for complete resurrection to a certain extent."

This meant that as long as the Incense Fire Divine Dao existed, this Daoist Soldier would be truly undying and indestructible.

The fifth item was permissions expansion.

Jeming granted part of his own authority to the Daoist Soldier.

The Daoist Soldier’s gaze became even more lively. He began actively calling on the subsystems of the Incense Fire Divine Dao: the Fate System, the cross-space Energy transmission system.

He could even perceive the state of every individual within the entire Black Giant group.

"But with so few subsystems right now, there’s no special traits showing yet." Jeming rubbed his chin, then his eyes took on a hint of anticipation. "Now for the final item."

"Come, give it a try." Jeming transmitted the introductory Heart Method of the Body Refining Technique to the Daoist Soldier via Spiritual connection.

The Daoist Soldier closed his eyes, and a moment later, the Energy within his body began circulating according to the pathways of the Body Refining Technique.

This was not like the Black Giants, who relied on Arrays innately inscribed in their cores to drive instinctive Energy flow, but a conscious and precise guidance.

In other words, he was cultivating.

Cultivating with conscious intent.

Jeming took a deep breath, suppressing the ecstasy in his heart.

This meant that this Daoist Soldier had truly broken free from the limitations of traditional cannon-fodder units; he needed no minding from Jeming—he would grow stronger on his own.

He would cultivate the Body Refining Technique, accumulate Energy, and raise his Level.

He would, like Melt Mountain, advance from Sixth Level to Seventh Level, and even higher.

Standing in the center of the lab, Jeming looked at that Refined Gold Daoist Soldier with bright, intelligent eyes and nodded in satisfaction.
