After listening to Yin Shuang's story, Huo Yuhao, although he spoke calmly, was somewhat moved in his heart.
The first time he saw this revelation-like scene was when his martial spirit first awakened. That day, he walked into a place that seemed like an illusion and saw a tragic prophecy. However, at that time, he made a promise to resolve these matters properly and never let the illusion become reality.
The second time was when he climbed to the top of the Tower of Memory and met "another self". He climbed up the tower built brick by brick with memories that he could not let go of, passing by countless regretful memories of himself. When he met him, he told himself that the world lines he had experienced in the hallucinations were all collapsed world lines. In the possible world named "Huo Yuhao" that he chose, as long as "Huo Yuhao" failed, it would collapse.
But... Huo Yuhao thought, since those hallucinations were used to warn him, they must be the failed and disappeared world line. The problem was this: Now Yin Shuang told him that the failed world still existed, and the lives in it were still living a life bearing the consequences of failure.
Moreover, that world seemed to have gathered all the failures in the prophecy together. Each of these events alone was enough to deal him a heavy blow. The failure of each event was unacceptable enough for someone like him who wanted to realize all his wishes. If he could really accept all these blows before leaving, he would be strong enough.
What kind of world line would that be?
While he was thinking, Chi Qiu used the Golden Dragon Spear to violently dismantle another sealed box. Inside was a piece of strange rare metal and a notebook manuscript signed by Long Xiaoyao. She picked up the manuscript and quickly flipped through it.
This notebook seems to record most of Long Xiaoyao's cultivation techniques after he entered the Titled Douluo realm. For a Titled Douluo, the difference between each level up is the same as the difference between a previous major realm, so each level up becomes increasingly difficult, because in this way, the soul power level of a level 98 is an exponential increase compared to a level 90.
Many soul masters who have broken through the title are stuck at level 92 or 93 for their entire lives, and it is extremely difficult to break through further. There are very few people who can rely on their own understanding, and the vast majority of people need guidance from more powerful predecessors to overcome the difficult hurdles.
Chi Qiu flipped through the notebook and found that Long Xiaoyao had basically recorded every exploration and realization of his cultivation in detail, from level 92 to breaking through the limit, almost without any detail. On one page of the chapter about breaking through the limit, Chi Qiu saw some words he had written.
"I have been born with soul power for so many years, but I have never done anything useful for the world, and I even helped the evil. It's not that I haven't doubted my choice, but maybe some people are destined to be trapped by love in this life. Just because she is there, I really can't let go of everything that happened in my past life."
"Although the life span of an Ultimate Douluo may be as long as hundreds of years, he will eventually die. People like her and I are destined to never reach the threshold of another realm. However, although she and I have committed many evil deeds in our lives, we have never used the evil ways of the Holy Spirit Church in cultivation. Until I broke through to the Ultimate Douluo, I have explored the path step by step on my own."
"Perhaps, this notebook will be the only useful legacy I leave to the world in this life. When I have some free time, I will compile and publish the contents of this notebook, making it a book accessible to everyone, so that more people with talent but no connections can get the opportunity to improve themselves. If I can break the knowledge monopoly that has been established by some of the spirit masters, then my life will not be in vain."
There were a few more lines of text at the end, but they had already been erased by Long Xiaoyao with a lot of ink. After reading these contents, Chi Qiu was not sure whether he understood the rules and regulations in the human spirit master world, but he was deeply touched. The only pity was that Long Xiaoyao failed to compile it, and many contents were completely described from the perspective of genius. If you don't have talent, it will take a lot of time to digest these skills. Long Xiaoyao didn't have a real free time to rewrite its content, and decided to go to hell with her.
What a pity, Chi Qiu thought. Although she had just come to the human world and experienced the ups and downs of life, she felt that emotions were very fresh at that time and thought that human love was simply beyond everything. However, as she lived longer, she gradually realized some other things, such as whether it was worth giving up everything in her life for a twisted love.
At least now she felt that Long Xiaoyao was not worth it. How many Extreme Douluo could there be in the world? If he and Moon had not had a grudge against each other because of Ye Xishui's problem, and the Black and White Holy Dragons had joined forces, the Holy Spirit Church would not have survived until today; it would not be too late to solve Ye Xishui's problem by then.
With this in mind, she turned to the last page of her notebook. There was no text on this page, only a bookmark. She didn't care at first and planned to take the notebook away. After all, she felt that Long Xiaoyao's wish was very worthy. With Huo Yuhao and his team's rewriting, perhaps this book could really fulfill Long Xiaoyao's wish.
However, just as she turned around and was about to call Huo Yuhao, she discovered something different about the bookmark. Although she was not very sensitive to human recording methods, she had gained some understanding of it after being influenced by Huo Yuhao over the years.
She observed that the engravings on the bookmark looked somewhat like part of the core magic circle, but she was not sure because the engravings were so precise that she thought at first glance they were just scratches left on the bookmark over the years.
Her soul master level was only level six, and she couldn't even determine what core formation this thing was, or how it matched the rest. At least Long Xiaoyao had definitely not intentionally placed it here.
Professional matters should be left to professionals, so she called out:
"Yuhao! Look at this."
"what?"
Huo Yuhao walked over, and Chi Qiu handed him the rectangular divine bookmark. "Look," she said, "I feel like these scratches are actually some kind of inscriptions. Don't they look a bit like part of the core formation of a soul guide...?"
Without Chi Qiu's reminder, Huo Yuhao knew that this was not a scratch the moment he saw the bookmark. He knew at a glance that this was part of the core array, and at least part of the core array of a high-powered military level nine soul guide.
When it comes to level nine soul guides, a single core array is basically no longer used for driving, because the drawings are too complicated, the carving efficiency is too low, and the error tolerance is low. If one place is carved wrong, the entire core array will have to be redone; at the same time, most rare metals cannot bear the pressure of driving an entire level nine core array. Using multiple core arrays in conjunction can solve some of these problems, while reducing the cost of using rare metals and the difficulty of producing level nine soul guides. However, there are still some level nine soul guides that use a single core array. These soul guides are generally decided from the design stage not to be mass-produced products, but to be the only design in the world. Therefore, designers will give full play to their knowledge, experience and imagination in the core array. Such a core array, coupled with top-level rare metals, can exert extremely imaginative power. Only such a level nine soul guide has the opportunity to approach the legendary level ten soul guide.
Kong Deming is undoubtedly such a designer in the field of soul guides. Although the Silver Moon God Light Shield looks like just a defensive soul guide, in the battle between Mingdu and the Holy Spirit Church, its free transformation and precise protection that fits closely to everyone's skin have demonstrated Kong Deming's amazing control and imagination as a possible tenth-level soul guide.
Although the Silver Moon Divine Light Wave that Kong Deming launched was not a fully-made version at that time, it still severely damaged Zhongli Wu. Even if Ye Xishui arrived, he could not completely save Zhongli Wu's life. Compared with the agility of the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, the Silver Moon Divine Light Wave is more concise. The design of the core array is all aimed at destructive power. The great way is simple, and all means are used to increase its power to the extreme. Subtracting from the design is also something that many soul mentors who have not reached the corresponding realm cannot do.
Huo Yuhao looked at the core array in his hand. He was almost certain that this was part of a single core array. Its finished product must exist on a unique level nine soul guide, or even close to level ten. Long Xiaoyao was not the designer of the soul guide. He came from the Heavenly Soul Empire and was not influenced by the soul guide atmosphere. His level of improvement in this area was a bit behind. The soul guide with the highest level in the Holy Spirit Church and the most likely to challenge Kong Deming was only Ye Xishui.
The most unique soul guide in Ye Xishui's hand can only be her own soul guide -
Tower of Death!
When thinking of this answer, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but take a breath. No wonder Long Xiaoyao said that if someone of his level was needed, then this thing would definitely help. Yes, Huo Yuhao couldn't even touch the mass-produced Death God sequence soul guides, let alone explore their magical core array structure... However, at this moment, the core array design drawings of the Death God Tower were right in front of him.
"This is the core magic circle of the Tower of Death!" he said to Chi Qiu.
Chi Qiu was equally surprised.
"Tower of Death? How is that possible? ... No, it is really possible... If Senior Long Xiaoyao really intends to make all this knowledge known to the world before his death..."
“This is the Death God Tower.” Huo Yuhao used his spiritual power to carefully observe the engraving on the bookmark with a thirst for knowledge. “When Master Kong was teaching me, he also disassembled part of one of his most proud works for me to see. Although it was only a part, I was still deeply impressed by this kind of soul guide.”
Kong Deming was extremely generous to Huo Yuhao in this regard. Generally, soul masters of this level would not directly explain their design ideas in detail even if they were teaching others, but Kong Deming did not hold back too much in this regard. His generous teaching to Huo Yuhao contributed to Huo Yuhao's confidence when he faced the core magic array of the Death God Tower.
"But this is only part of it." Chi Qiu looked a little regretful. "Maybe Ye Xishui didn't allow him to copy the entire Death God Tower core array. After all, it is his own soul guide. And maybe Ye Xishui didn't trust Senior Long Xiaoyao so completely. Senior Long Xiaoyao never used the Holy Spirit Church's secret method until his death. It would only take him a few minutes to get away."
“Yes, Ye Xishui would definitely not agree.” Huo Yuhao smiled, “However, Senior Long Xiaoyao still has his own pursuits in this regard. He thought of a good way to save other information.”
"What? Yuhao, do you already know where the other parts are?"
"The answer is actually quite simple, but perhaps only someone with my level of mental strength can figure it out at a glance."
Huo Yuhao took the book from her and connected the last letters of the words in the last line of each page. Most of them could form a new word. There were a few spelling errors, but they were harmless to understanding the original meaning. Putting these contents together, he found that this sentence was another riddle. It was a folk joke in the Tianhun Empire. Huo Yuhao had seen it in the sidebar of the book when he was reading popular novels.
"It turns out that reading popular novels is good for you," he smiled, "You can't just read knowledge books!"
As he said this, he used the clue of the answer to find one of the pages. The description on this page was indeed grammatically incorrect. Chi Qiu noticed it at first, but she just thought it was strange. It might be the way humans speak, so she didn't take it too seriously. Huo Yuhao then combined the spelling of all the words in the first line, condensed the answer into a pen with his mental power, dipped it in his soul power and wrote it on the blank last page.
As the last line was written, the page suddenly emitted a black light. The power of the Dark Holy Dragon gushed out, instantly painting the entire room with the color of the starry sky. Rays of light surged to the center of the room, flying up and down like knitting, and began to construct countless complex and delicate patterns. Huo Yuhao and Chi Qiu both raised their heads. They watched in amazement as the white holy marks gradually formed in the air. The flying soul power intertwined and coiled, but each one was clearly visible. In the end, an unimaginable magnificent picture was completed, just like the highest art in the eyes of every soul instructor who designed the core magic array.
However, this supreme art was missing a corner. The fracture was very neat, as if someone had deliberately cut off a rectangular section. Huo Yuhao silently raised the bookmark in his hand and aligned the edge of the bookmark with the gap in the core array. At this moment, the dim engraving on the bookmark began to emit a soft milky white halo. In the air, the shocking core array was finally complete.
"This is simply... incredible." Chi Qiu murmured.
“Senior Long Xiaoyao really makes me feel complicated.” Huo Yuhao shook his head. “He made such a decision in prison... but in the end... he still left this thing to me. He is not a soul guide like Ye Xishui. He must have spent a lot of energy to remember this core formation.”
After saying this, he bowed deeply to the wonder in the sky. (End of this chapter)
The first time he saw this revelation-like scene was when his martial spirit first awakened. That day, he walked into a place that seemed like an illusion and saw a tragic prophecy. However, at that time, he made a promise to resolve these matters properly and never let the illusion become reality.
The second time was when he climbed to the top of the Tower of Memory and met "another self". He climbed up the tower built brick by brick with memories that he could not let go of, passing by countless regretful memories of himself. When he met him, he told himself that the world lines he had experienced in the hallucinations were all collapsed world lines. In the possible world named "Huo Yuhao" that he chose, as long as "Huo Yuhao" failed, it would collapse.
But... Huo Yuhao thought, since those hallucinations were used to warn him, they must be the failed and disappeared world line. The problem was this: Now Yin Shuang told him that the failed world still existed, and the lives in it were still living a life bearing the consequences of failure.
Moreover, that world seemed to have gathered all the failures in the prophecy together. Each of these events alone was enough to deal him a heavy blow. The failure of each event was unacceptable enough for someone like him who wanted to realize all his wishes. If he could really accept all these blows before leaving, he would be strong enough.
