Chapter 501: Chapter 499: Nether Soul Mirror
He flipped through the book briefly. On the surface, it was simply a travelogue that told of a remarkable Holy Mountain in a mysterious location, praising the strange land and the mountain in a rambling manner.
He was not surprised by this.
In fact, it could be understood as a kind of encryption thod, sothing sorcerers often did.
“May I ask boldly, where did you excavate this ancient book from?” he inquired curiously.
“From the Vernon Millennium Archive Main Library. It houses a vast number of ancient books collected but not completely processed, filling hundreds of libraries, both large and small. I have loved reading books since I was young and have found quite a few treasures there, such as the Prophet’s Treasure To.
“However, there is sothing peculiar about the Prophet’s Treasure To; it can’t be carried around.”
...
Tanaya did not hide anything and even took out the valuable ‘Prophet’s Treasure To’ from the Five Leaves Spear as an example.
Ivan listened and couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazent. Her good fortune was indeed enviable.
“Next ti I have the chance, I must visit the main library. Speaking of which, I am also a part of the Millennium Archive, so I can’t miss out on that,” he expressed regretfully.
“Now is not the best ti. Spark has already seized control of the main library unless you want to deal with him.”
“Then, perhaps next ti.”
Regarding Tanaya’s advice, Ivan chose to cooperate fully.
The Vernon Millennium Archive Main Library was located within the Inner City of Truth City; there would be plenty of opportunities later. If not this ti, or the next, then the ti after should surely be possible.
Following Tanaya’s gesture, the three of them returned to Ivan’s room.
Before he could ask, Tanaya laid out seven Space Rings in front of him. Ivan was sowhat puzzled; after inspecting one or two rings, he realized why.
The Space Rings contained Tanaya’s belongings.
Judging by the number of items and their value, it seed she had packed up everything valuable, especially a large number of puppets and magic puppets. He also found highly valuable items such as magic marrow gems and elental marrow essences.
“For ?”
“Of course, I won’t be needing them anymore. I wish to wholeheartedly pursue the Light of Life and not rely on external things,” Tanaya nodded and explained.
“Let’s keep them with you for now. I’ll co to you if I need them.”
Ivan neither declined nor accepted.
Unless absolutely necessary, he would not take Tanaya’s belongings. He was not one to live off others, and there was no need to be overly greedy for these material goods.
As for the previously ntioned ‘Netherworld Travel Mountain Chronicles,’ that was sothing Tanaya had promised long ago.
He had not let Tanaya suffer a loss, either. He had given her the ‘Tidal Treasure To’ he had on hand, the ‘Bat’s Eyes’ which had co up several tis in deductions, as well as the newly deduced ‘Heart of Rebirth’ and a new Insect Breathing thod called ‘Heart of the Black Sickle.’
All of these excellent Knight Breathing thods had been given to Tanaya.
Had he not unreservedly passed them on to her, how could Tanaya have deduced her own Knight Breathing thod so quickly, reaching the level where she could accept the inheritance of the Justice Ancestor Star?
“No need.”
Tanaya frowned at him. She had gathered everything from the sorcerer tower, intending to give it to him, so why was he declining now?
“Will you listen to or listen to yourself?” Ivan said.
“I’ll listen to you,” Tanaya compromised reluctantly.
“If you’ll listen to , then keep them for now,” Ivan ordered, not shy about it.
After storing the Space Rings carefully, Tanaya and Gerry left, returning to their room, and like before, they would also take the cloud shuttle.
Morris was the sa; he had arrived yesterday.
Half an hour later, the cloud shuttle slowly left the peak of Truth City and headed outwards towards the city.
Not far from the peak of Truth, a person in a certain tower looked up at the gradually departing Cloud Shuttle with eyes bulging in astonishnt, followed promptly by outright cursing.
“This is outrageous!”
“That bastard actually hid on the peak of Truth all this ti, never straying far from it. How does such a person deserve such honors, how is he fit to win over such a fine lady’s heart—–”
“Damn it! Why doesn’t he just die, why hasn’t he died under the slaughter of the Alien Race.”
Beiluo was of course not willing to accept the fact that soone had stolen his fiancée. Driven by hatred, he secretly stayed hidden near the peak of Truth, constantly monitoring his enemy’s movents, hoping to find a way to turn the tide.
What he had not expected was that the guy had always been holed up on the peak of Truth and had not left even once.
There were actually quite a few others with similarly sinister intentions as Beiluo Gardner. They would not react with impotent fury to the caution and departure of their target.
Many had already guessed the other party’s destination and began to contemplate their next strategy.
This sorcerer community simply could not tolerate the existence of any prodigious talents!
If there were any, they just needed to be made nonexistent, a simple matter, provided the planning was right, just like with the previous prodigious talent they had dealt with.
With the departure of the Cloud Shuttle, a flurry of undercurrents were set in motion.
…
To return to the East Capital, the Cloud Shuttle first had to enter Sharp Wind Continent, then cross the long Storm Sea, subsequently landing in the western region of Chanay Continent, and finally heading back to the East Capital area.
On the way there, President Hardy was in charge on the airship.
On the return journey, in addition to President Hardy, there was also Gerry, and with such a strong lineup, there naturally was no need to worry about encountering trouble on the road. If they did encounter any, it should be the others who were worried.
The journey was neither particularly long nor short.
Throughout the trip, Ivan continued to study the Whale Binding Chain within the hunting space of the Silver Moon Blade and pored over the ‘Netherworld Travel Mountain Chronicles’. He discovered that this original to on ‘One Body Multiple Manifestations’ was quite extraordinary.
As he delved deeper into his research, he felt an increasing sense of becoming obsessed.
Luckily, he had enough self-restraint and knew that his most pressing task now was to advance in arcane knowledge. Everything else had to be put on the back burner, he absolutely could not beco addicted.
He had indeed managed to do so, never letting go of the ancient texts but using his free ti to read and contemplate them.
Even so, as the days passed by, he still gleaned quite a bit from them.
For example, the text of the ‘Netherworld Travel Mountain Chronicles’ actually celebrated the endless abyss of the abyssal world, along with a great Holy Mountain within it, which should be called ‘Nether Soul Mountain’.
The real na that corresponded to the ancient to wasn’t ‘Netherworld Travel Mountain Chronicles’ or ‘One Body Multiple Manifestations’, but rather—Nether Soul Mirror.
The ‘Nether Soul Mirror’ was in fact the na of the Secret Technique contained within the ancient to.
The ‘One Body Multiple Manifestations’ that Tanaya had figured out and translated was actually just a part of Nether Soul Mirror. Perhaps it was only this part that interested Tanaya, which was why she had summarized and written it down into a new to.
The other parts actually contained even more thods for creating Secret thod Body Doubles.
For instance, one could choose a soul that had completely fallen and refine it with a Secret Technique to beco one’s avatar.
Or, one could cast a Nether Soul seed into a certain place and let it absorb corrupting forces to grow, or lead beings to worship it, thus nurturing one’s own Secret Technique Body Double.
Compared to One Body Multiple Manifestations, the other thods in Nether Soul Mirror all exuded a sense of strangeness and evil.
He could only say that it was worthy of the ‘Devil Race’, living up to the na.
The evil Secret Technique was not for him.
Ivan did not ignore it, nor did he attempt to deploy the thods described. Understanding a Secret Technique could lead to vast mistakes with the smallest error, and his current state was far from sufficient.
He was in no rush to gain anything from it; things should take their natural course. His focus remained on studying the Whale Binding Chain.
This Chain was crucial to hunting the Lord of Black Whiskers, and there was no ti to delay.
