Weapon Master

Chapter 678 Not us, but me!

Not far from the arched door, Tang Huan and Feng Ming stood there motionlessly, their eyes filled with unconcealable astonishment. By the side, Xiao Budian and Xiao Ai had also opened their eyes wide.

Back then, after he urged the Conqueror Spear's artifact spirit to swallow the last of the Secluded Night Dark King's soul, then called out Feng Ming and Xiao Budian, Tang Huan had completely fainted.

The "Spirit Dragon Sacred Marrow" within Xiao Budian's Golden Horn caused him to wake up very quickly. Adding to the fact that Tang Huan possessed the "Sun Spirit Body", the injuries on his flesh body were quickly healed. However, the serious injuries that Tang Huan had sustained from using the "Soul Killing Storm" several times in a row were not easy to recover from.

After that, Tang Huan did not leave the Foggy Sea Island, but stayed here to cultivate and treat his injuries.

This place was indeed a holy land for cultivation. After a period of time, not only had the little white rabbit's strength greatly increased, Feng Ming had also finally stepped past the last half step and become a real Heavenly Domain-level Expert. Compared to the time he had fought against the Secluded Night Dark King, Tang Huan's strength had clearly risen as well. It was only because the recovery of his soul was rather slow that Tang Huan's soul could be considered to have completely recovered not long ago.

But just as Tang Huan was preparing to leave, a huge change suddenly occurred in the Foggy Sea Island.

The eighty-one stone pillars seemed to have turned into eighty-one whirlpools as they continuously sucked in the surrounding mist. It would probably only take a day or two before all the mist in Foggy Sea Island was devoured, revealing the true appearance of the island covered in mist for the next ten years.

The strangest thing was that after the fog disappeared, the skeletons on the island were all devoured by the fog, turning into lifeless skeletons.

And after absorbing all the mist and all the skeletons' souls, this small region seemed to have awakened from its slumber, and began to constantly emit terrifying undulations of aura in all directions.

Everything that had happened here completely verified Tang Huan's previous judgement.

The massive amount of fog in the Foggy Sea Island was indeed there to incite the "Ling Xiao Arch". As for the souls of the skeletons, they had become the artifact spirit of the "Ling Xiao Arch" after they were absorbed and gathered together. Standing here, Tang Huan could clearly feel the boundless spirituality.

During his stay in the Foggy Sea Island, Tang Huan had searched through the memories of Gui Jia and the Secluded Night Dark King's souls and gained a deeper understanding of the island.

Before this, Tang Huan was very much in the future, but why have he not seen these skeletons from other places in this little world for countless of years? But now, Tang Huan knew that for all the skeletons here, this Foggy Sea Island was equivalent to a huge cage.

The clouds and mist on the island allowed the skeletons to possess great strength. However, once they left the island, the souls of the skeletons would leave the corpses and return to the Ling Xiao Arch.

The Ling Xiao Arch and the skeleton on the island were one.

Every ten years, the Ling Xiao Arch would absorb the fog and open up the Ling Xiao Ancient Road. After the skeleton and soul merge, they would become the spirit of the Ling Xiao Arch. In three months, when the Ling Xiao Arch closes his eyes, the fog that contained a boundless amount of power will be reborn, and the gathered souls will separate and return to their respective bodies. However, after this event, the souls of all the skeletons would become extremely weak.

In the following time, the mist in the island grew more and more numerous. The skeletons absorbed the energy within the mist, and their souls gradually grew stronger. After about ten years, the skeleton's soul had almost completely recovered. Then, along with the mist, it was once again absorbed. A new cycle began.

The Ling Xiao Arch continued to open and close, and the skeletons continued to experience this rebirth. After every rebirth, their previous memories would disappear.

A few hundred years ago, a powerful skeleton was lucky enough to merge with a treasure that was left behind countless years ago, lucky enough to leave behind memories, unwilling to continue experiencing this endless cycle and trying to find ways to avoid the cycle of reincarnation. Thus, the Secluded Night Divine Palace appeared.

And that skeleton was the Secluded Night Dark King.

A Stage Nine Ranker who had trespassed into the Foggy Sea Island to train, under the control of the Secluded Night Dark King when he was exhausted, became the first Hall Master of the Secluded Night Divine Palace. The main purpose of the Secluded Night Divine Palace's existence was to earn money and then purchase all kinds of precious herbs and artifacts for the Secluded Night Dark King to temper its flesh body.

As time passed, Secluded Night Divine Palace changed to another five Palace Masters. Although Secluded Night Dark King was still undergoing reincarnation, its body was growing stronger and stronger.

With a strong body and complete memories, the degree of weakening of its soul became smaller and smaller, and its strength recovered faster and faster.

Inside the White Skeletons Palace, the white bead inside the skeleton's head was the thing that the Secluded Night Dark King was preparing to use to hold its soul. Secluded Night Dark King had originally planned to divide his own soul into two after his strength had risen to the peak of Heavenly Domain. The first part was to stay in the skeleton's body to respond to Ling Xiao Arch's sucking, and the second part was to transfer to the white bead, then find a Stage Nine Ranker to possess it.

Secluded Night Dark King's method had an extremely high success rate.

But unfortunately, before they could even take action, Tang Huan had first eliminated Gui Jia and his enbodiment, and then eliminated the Secluded Night Dark King himself. As of now, all of their remaining residual soul had already been completely refined by Tang Huan, and was absorbed by the Eight Remoteness Dragon King.

A large amount of souls had greatly increased the spirit of the Conqueror Spear. Its strength was no longer inferior to the spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword, it was now the spirit of the Heavenly Domain.

"Tang Huan, when do you plan to enter 'Ling Xiao Ancient Road'?" Feng Ming's voice suddenly sounded out, breaking the silence of this entire space.

"Right now, the news of the appearance of the Ling Xiao Arch has probably spread throughout the entire small world."

The strength of that wave of aura that originated from the Ling Xiao Arch had already far surpassed Tang Huan's understanding. This kind of wave was definitely able to spread to every corner of the small world, "Shan Shan and the sword should be arriving here very soon, as well as Master and the old fatty. It will not be too late to enter after they arrive, since this' Ling Xiao Arch 'will only be closed for another three months. "

"Alright, then we'll go back in a few days." Feng Ming was eager to give it a try.

"Not us, but me!" Hearing this, Tang Huan couldn't help but laugh.

"Huh?" Feng Ming was startled.

"According to what Jian Yi said, once I enter the Ling Xiao Ancient Road, the test will begin."

Tang Huan said with a smile, "If I am able to pass the test, I will be able to pass through the 'Ling Xiao Ancient Road', and the 'Ling Xiao Ancient Road' will forever exist in the Foggy Sea Island from now on. At that time, you, Shan Shan, my master and the others can directly enter the Forging God Great World from the 'Ling Xiao Ancient Road', and there will be no need for you to take the risk like the others. If I am unable to pass this test, I will definitely lose my life. If you still want to go to Forging God Great World, then it will not be too late for you to enter there. Of course, it would be best if you wait ten or twenty more years.

"..."

Hearing this, Feng Ming frowned and fell silent.
