Ling Xiao, furthermore, had a guess about the immemorial martial soul’s aura within his body.
From the very beginning, his Landscape Martial Soul was obviously an immemorial martial soul. It should have existed in the incomplete book that Grandpa Hong Qi gave him.
Afterward, it resided in his body.
However, it actually integrated with his soul completely later.
Could it be counted as an immemorial martial soul or awakened martial soul?
Ling Xiao was also a little confused.
“Master, Immemorial Martial Soul is a very precious treasure. The martial souls are divided into different types according to different inheritance. Among them, Immemorial Martial Souls are the strongest and the oldest.”
The Plague Demon King Martial Soul continued to explain.
“But I have read many materials in the sect. Among them, there was only a little mention of martial souls. Moreover, there was no record of Immemorial Martial Souls.”
Ling Xiao sighed.
In fact, he could think about what had happened.
During the vacuumed period when the martial souls had disappeared, all the records of martial souls should have disappeared or they were burnt down, or they were brought to other places and were hidden.
“In short, Master, the martial souls are not only important to the Human Race, but it is also similarly important to other races! And the inheritance of the martial souls is even more mysterious. Allegedly, even the lowest-grade martial souls’ inheritance could substantially improve the martial art aptitude of a martial artist, making it comparable to a divine-grade treasured body.”
“There’s actually such a theory? It seems that the people nowadays know too little about martial souls.”
“Not only that, but there is almost no means to test whether the martial soul is strong or weak unless it was manifested on the battlefield. Perhaps, because of this, those stupid sects have missed some of those real geniuses.”
The Plague Demon King Martial Soul might have absorbed some traits of the Plague Demon King. Therefore, its attitude was also somewhat arrogant and overbearing.
However, it was completely obedient to Ling Xiao.
Well, in fact, obedient was not the right word because it in itself belonged to Ling Xiao. It was merely a part of Ling Xiao’s soul.
Now, Ling Xiao’s understanding of martial souls has increased a step further. At least, he now understood that, other than the common aptitude test, the martial soul inheritance might be even more helpful to martial artists.
He suddenly thought of Dai Yuling.
Therefore, he asked: “I once had a Cherry Tree Martial Soul, and it was nourished in the Landscape World. Later, I transferred it to another martial artist. Is this considered a martial soul inheritance?”
“Of course, this belongs to the lowest-grade martial soul inheritance. In the Profound Realm, forcibly seizing other people’s martial soul, then implanting it to another person’s body is also regarded as the lowest-grade martial soul inheritance. However, it’s very crude. It doesn’t truly show the full effect of the martial soul inheritance.”
“Got it!”
Ling Xiao nodded his head. In the process of forcibly implanting other people’s martial souls, something must be missing. Therefore, the effect of the martial soul inheritance was not achieved.
“Master, the Plague Demon King’s treasure trove is here!”
Along with the voice of the Plague Demon King Martial Soul, Ling Xiao discovered that he had actually reached near the True Demon Great Emperor’s altar.
At this moment, he had already returned to his original form. He had already deactivated his Half Dragon Form. However, his powerful analyze ability still made him discover a secret of this altar.
On a row of stone bricks near the ground, there was a special Refine Array Stone inlaid in it.
One had to crack this magic array of this Refine Array Stone in order to open this treasure trove.
This magic array was a bit interesting. In addition to possessing powerful soul power equivalent to the Plague Demon King, one must deduce a special code.
Unexpectedly, this Plague Demon King was a great musician.
After about the time needed to light a stick of incense, a look of surprise appeared on Ling Xiao’s face.
The code left behind by the Plague Demon King in this stone brick was actually a very good tune set.
According to the result of his analysis, he hit the stone brick with his soul power and began to play the tune.
After a short while, the tune stopped and that stone brick disappeared!
Then, a secret path appeared there.
And Ling Xiao went down stepping on a flight of stairs.
The treasury led by this secret path was at least ten times bigger than the basement above.
The gold and silver stored inside were also ten times more than the basement above!
Ling Xiao could understand what the Plague Demon King wanted to do with these things.
To recruit followers, a lot of gold and silver were indispensable.
In any case, these people would soon become their slaves after they were tricked by gold and silver.
Unfortunately, Ling Xiao didn’t have much interest in gold and silver now.
After his <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> broke through the fifth layer, he was able to be reborn from a drop of blood and he didn’t need to consume gold. Therefore, he no longer needed gold.
However, these things could be handed over to the Divine Sword Sect. In the Secular World, gold and silver were still very useful.
Ling Xiao was more concerned about the other things.
“Oh, this is the True Demon Empire’s Demon King Imperial Seal! It’s a good thing!”
The True Demon Empire’s nine Great Demon Kings each had a Demon King Imperial Seal. Although this imperial seal had no special effect, it was the Demon King’s symbol of authority in the True Demon Empire. With this Demon King Imperial Seal, this Demon King’s subordinates would obey all orders.
“Store it!”
Ling Xiao stored the Plague Demon King’s Demon King Imperial Seal in the Landscape World. Perhaps, it would be useful in the future.
Thinking about it, the Plague Demon King was truly miserable enough.
It could be said that he had swept through the entire Heavenly Dragon Continent back then.
He was unparalleled and powerful.
However, now, he was actually killed by an ant. An outer disciple of the Moonlight Sect had killed him. If this was spread, then his reputation would be completely ruined.
Immediately afterward, Ling Xiao discovered a bottle of pills.
Although he didn’t know what kind of pills they were, just smelling the smell, he knew that those pills were very extraordinary. He estimated that these pills should be entry-grade pills.
There were no less than fifty of those pills, which were enough for him to use for a period of time.
Beside the bottle of pills, there was a cloth pouch. A jade token was stored inside it. The jade token was pure white and smooth, absolutely the best type of white jade.
Naturally, this was not the key point. The key point was, this jade token had a majestic and mysterious aura, seemingly, it didn’t belong to a vulgar person.
Next to the jade token, a damaged umbrella was tossed aside. It was obviously damaged, but the Plague Demon King was actually still keeping it. There should be a reason behind this.
“Master, this bottle is filled with the ‘Soul Essence Pill’. It’s a pill refined using the souls of over a hundred Transcendent Realm martial artists along with nine thousand nine hundred eighty types of special medicinal materials. It’s a low yellow-grade pill, much better than extraordinary unqualified pills.”
The Plague Demon King suddenly explained: “This pill is helpful in the cultivation of the Transcendent Realm martial artists. Its effect is the best for the martial artists below Rank Five Transcendent Realm!”
“Oh, not bad.”
These pills were actually low yellow-grade pills, and here, he thought that these were entry-grade pills. The Plague Demon King was truly a generous person. Knowing he needed this, the other party left it behind for him.
Although the refining process of this ‘Soul Essence Pill’ was too ruthless and bloody, and it, however, was the lives of over a hundred Transcendent Realm martial artists, since it had already been refined, he couldn’t just throw it away. That would be too wasteful.
Since Ling Xiao had the principle of not wasting things, he naturally accepted it unceremoniously.
