The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 706 - 397: The Heaven-Defying Demon Skull_2
She cannot stay in the Ba Snake Mountain Range for too long; this experiment can help her obtain the Dragon Elephant Fruit and then leave.
Langya fell silent immediately, and only after a while did he speak faintly: "Your method, it doesn’t have a quantity limit like the Enchanting Soup, does it?"
"No!" Her answer was unequivocally clear. Could Changtian’s retrieval of the seal of Ba Snake possibly have a limit on the number of times it can be used?
"He agreed just like that?" Hearing this, Tu Jin found it unbelievable. Due to the excessive use of Divine Soul Power, his mind was somewhat muddled, and his thinking was not as clear as usual.
"Agreed." This time it was Changtian who spoke, his tone light and apparently quite relieved, "If you consider it from Langya’s perspective, this experiment doesn’t cost him anything. If successful, he gets liberation; if not, your few heads will roll. Why wouldn’t he agree? The best part is, if you fail, you still won’t escape the shackles of the Power of Ba Snake, that is, you won’t escape his clutches. He has waited so many years already, what are a mere one or two more months to him?"
Everyone was well aware of the crucial issues involved, none mentioned more about the escaping route problems of Ning Xiaoxian and the other two. The reason she could persuade Langya was only one: because of the ubiquitous Power of Growth of Ba Snake, as a member of Hidden Stream, they couldn’t leave this place. And if their method proved ineffective, at most they would delay their death by one or two months and also endure tremendous pain. Hence, Langya never considered the possibility of their escape after failure.
But if they were lucky enough to succeed, the impact of this incident would be profound. Therefore, after much consideration, Langya finally decided to send someone to replace himself to leave the mountains with them. Given that Tu Jin had profound cultivation, the companion chosen also needed to be carefully selected.
The only condition Ning Xiaoxian raised was to wait until after this Martial Arts Competition before leaving. This request was not excessive, so Langya readily agreed.
At this point, everyone looked at each other and shared a knowing smile. The person sent by Langya would surely be remarkable, and there would be an additional strong fighter on the road. As for whether this person could be utilized by her... she wasn’t worried at all. Couldn’t she handle him in one or two months? If all else fails, she could just mix some Fairy Trip or similar drugs into his food and then throw him into the God Demon Prison, and then—what else is there?
She also obtained a Flying Permit from Qingluan, ate the breadfruit, and rode the Magic Artifact back to her dwelling.
After setting up a Barrier, she returned to the God Demon Prison. As she stepped into the lower floors, Tu Jin was reporting to Changtian about the process of the recent battle.
"...It’s strange, in the memory of Yin Jiuyou’s clone, he never taught the Soul Cultivator’s Cultivation Technique to others, nor did he ever leave it at some ruins for the destined ones!" Tu Jin said in a deep voice, "Then who was it that left this technique in the ruins’ stone room and passed it on to me? I am baffled."
Changtian pondered and said: "Perhaps when Yin Jiuyou made this move, this clone was not by his side, naturally unable to see his actions. The clone of a Soul Cultivator is a peculiar life; if they have never met, they also wouldn’t know of each other’s experiences."
Tu Jin nodded, agreeing with his statement. Due to the exhaustion from prolonged battles, Ning Xiaoxian came in, and he excused himself to rest, taking the time to thoroughly digest the knowledge from Yin Jiuyou’s clone’s mind. His Divine Skills had always been self-taught, drawing from the knowledge and experience of Yin Jiuyou, which was invaluable for combat. If he could assimilate it completely, a dramatic advancement in his cultivation was imminent. Before leaving, he handed over several spoils of war he had scavenged from Duanmu Yan, among them the remarkable Spirit Sword "Demon Skull" and the Divine Brush "Storm" that absorbed Life Force, which had shone in the afternoon battle.
Changtian reached for the "Demon Skull". As soon as his fingertips touched it, the Spirit Sword, intimidated by his Divine Power, started to tremble in his hand, issuing a buzzing soft hum, quivering incessantly. Ning Xiaoxian was seeing such a Spirit-communicating Magic Artifact for the first time. This was a sign that the Artifact Spirit was nearing Great Success. He calmed his heart and carefully felt it, a hint of satisfaction finally appearing on his face.
"How is it?" She eagerly awaited. The items brought by Yin Jiuyou’s clone couldn’t be inferior, right?
"Indeed, it’s a fine item." "Demon Skull" indeed gave them a pleasant surprise; the sword wasn’t as simple as it appeared. In Duanmu Yan’s hands, its demonstrated attribute was Fire Erosion, yet this wasn’t its true attribute. The peculiarity of "Demon Skull" lay in its ability to extract the Lifebound Essence Blood of a particular demon, stripping its Talent Skills from the blood and attaching them to the sword. However, only one demon’s skill could be attached to the sword at a time.
Duanmu Yan had only recently acquired this sword, only using it to extract the Lifebound Essence Blood of a Rock Fire Lizard. If Ning Xiaoxian were now to use it to extract essence blood from other demons, then the Fire Erosion power attached to the Demon Skull would be washed away.
Even in Changtian’s view, the special feature of Demon Skull could be described as defying the heavens. After all, Magic Artifacts with special effects could sell for extraordinarily high prices at sales events, and with Demon Skull, she essentially had countless peculiar and versatile weapons at her disposal, with the effects selectable at will. She could even store different essence bloods, ready to switch the attributes of Demon Skull during combat, thus granting her a more flexible and varied fighting style!(To be continued.
