Chapter 374: The Soul Master's Certificate (4000)
Hua La La...
A fire suddenly lit up in the dim space, circling the wall in a series, like vines climbing. The pale flames were suspended in the air, gradually illuminating the environment inside the tower.
This is a wide space of hundreds of square meters, without any fancy decorations, only hard and thick gray walls. The overall environment is also empty, with a pentagram-shaped altar in the middle, about the size of a room.
At each corner of the pentagram, there are half-human-high metal pillars standing. Under the light of the fire, it flickers slightly with matte light.
Next to the altar, a human-shaped statue stands quietly. The surface is already full of cracks, and the face is blurred. It was it that made the sound in the darkness just now, as if welcoming Kaxiu.
After a quick glance at the first floor of the tower, Kaxiu immediately walked towards the statue. This is the only individual who can communicate here.
"The holder of the rune of wisdom..."
"My energy is almost exhausted."
"Everything you want to know is in the Doom Library on the second floor..."
The statue suddenly spoke, and the next second, the whole body fell into silence. There seemed to be more cracks on the surface of the body.
Kaxiu's eyes flashed, and finally walked towards the stairs.
He went up all the way and soon came to the second floor. The pale flame lit up, illuminating the entire second floor space.
Here are densely packed bookshelves, row by row, column by column. There are many ancient and heavy hard-cover books piled up.
Kaxiu searched for a while and found a table at the end of the right side of the intersection of the stairs on the second floor. On the surface of the desk is a metallic diary covered with dust.
Wipe it clean and open it to read the contents.
1. Speculations and maps about the origin of the world of disaster...
2. Ethnic classification of disaster creatures...
3. Souls and undead...
4. Complete use of the shelter tower...
There is a corresponding book location behind each content.
Kaxiu only needs to look for it on the bookshelf.
Five minutes later, he sat at the table and opened the book.
At first, Kaxiu thought he had come to a twisted realm, a special area defined by the new humans.
Now I know that there is no comparison between the two. The disaster world is the opposite of the entire real world. If the real world is compared to daytime, then the disaster world is night.
It is similar to the relationship between the surface world and the deep world.
The surface real world represents human rationality, and the deep disaster world is full of animal madness. This place is more like a strange and terrifying nightmare, and also a bizarre hell.
Wild beasts are haunting, and the blood moon is in the sky. It is a forbidden area for living people.
However, there was no disaster world at the beginning!
This planet is peacefully carrying out the evolution of civilization.
Until a certain era in ancient times, the disaster came. The world fell into turmoil and chaos, and all kinds of weird things happened one after another. That bloody era lasted for a long time, until humans paid a huge price to temporarily suppress the disaster.
However, danger is still quietly accumulating strength in the darkness.
It should be noted that the book mentions that the appearance of the disaster seems to be related to the Black Rain Villa. In addition to the Black Rain Villa in the real world, there is also a Black Rain Villa in the disaster world.
It seems that this is the reason why the Black Rain Villa cannot be completely destroyed. Its body is in the disaster world!
Kaxiu looked at the map of the disaster world again. This is a piece of parchment sandwiched in the book, with an ancient light yellow color.
It is very tough, without any damage, and easy to carry.
The disaster world is very large, an endless strange continent. It is divided into several representative areas.
Pale land, dead rain area, desperate bone forest, dark mountains, scarlet lake, rotten swamp, crystal sand sea, etc.
If you add them together, there are more than two digits.
This is an environment with a wide coverage, and there are some iconic areas within these areas. For example, the Ash City where Kaxiu is now is located on the northwest side of the pale land.
The Black Rain Villa in the world of disaster is located in the Dead Rain Area.
For these, Kaxiu just glanced at them first, and then quickly read some of the following information. Disaster creatures, that is, dark creatures, are essentially deformed, twisted, and incomplete.
The three gates of physique, spirit, and spirit represent the three original rules of the world. Any creature born in this world should have three origins, which are the pillars supporting life. If any one is missing, life will no longer exist.
However, the disaster came and formed the world of disaster. The life born in the world of disaster was distorted by the disaster and lacked one of the three origins. As a result, it presents a weird life posture and is affected by the disaster of the world all the time.
Become more extreme, more chaotic, and more beastly.
Yes, the source of dark creatures is the world of disaster.
All dark creatures in the real world came from the world of disaster at the beginning, and reached the surface from the deep through the gap.
There is a level and strength division of dark creatures in the book.
The lowest level is the beast, which kills and fights completely by instinct, without reason. It is dominated by the chaotic rules of the world.
Next is the Wild Beast, which is more aggressive and has a stronger desire to kill. It can get angry and crazy. Although it still seems to lack rationality, it has already experienced simple emotional changes.
Then there are the Disaster Spirits, which have initially recovered their rationality and are no longer chaotic. But this means it is even more terrifying and dangerous!
Finally, there is the Dark Ultimate, also known as the Dark Primitive.
They have unimaginable terrible abilities, and the power to change the terrain. Some are even the first tribe of a tribe.
In addition to the ultimate dark body, the beasts, mad beasts and disaster spirits are divided into lower, middle and upper levels to distinguish their strength.
The dark creatures that Kaxiu has encountered can be matched one by one with this system. For example, the uncorrupted level, the immortal level, and the immortal level dead blood correspond to the beasts, mad beasts and disaster spirits.
It should be noted that the dark creatures in the disaster world will be more aggressive, more dangerous, and more powerful. The dark creatures in the real world are all escaped from the disaster world. They are generally more rational and wiser. After leaving the influence of the disaster world, the dark creatures in the real world still retain their twisted nature, but they are more rational.
However, rationality represents weakness in the disaster world.
The crazier the dark creatures of the same level, the stronger they are.
According to the special areas of the disaster world, the dark creatures in the area will have some environmental characteristics and be divided into different tribes. Such as the scarlet tribe, the corrupt tribe, the crystallized tribe, the evil insect tribe, etc., which can be said to be full of dark creatures.
Kaxiu was a little eager to move when he saw this. Although this place is very dangerous, it is a good place to hunt dark creatures and obtain a large amount of life vibration energy to quickly improve strength.
Without thinking deeply, continue to watch the third information.
Soul is the name of the master who enters the world of disaster in the form of spirit like Kaxiu. First of all, if you want to become a soul, you need to have a sufficient amount of spirit. In other words, the minimum threshold is the fighter level, which can condense the body of action.
Resist the endless disaster influence everywhere in the air.
The corresponding soul is the dead spirit.
This is a fighter who died in the real world. The spirit condensation that far exceeds that of ordinary humans is difficult to dissipate. Gradually falling from the surface world to the deep world, it becomes a soulless dead spirit.
Walking aimlessly on the earth, following the instinct of secret martial arts. Either fighting, or sleeping, or practicing. They are powerful individuals, and their strength is comparable to the level of disaster spirits.
These undead spirits are immortal. Even if they are defeated, they will regroup in a corner of the world of disaster. But they will be weak and lose some spirit fragments, which contain pure fighting experience for thousands of years, which can be absorbed by spirit masters and other undead spirits. But it is precisely because of this characteristic that spirit masters and undead spirits will attract each other and attack each other.
Kaxiu continued to think and read the last book.
This white tower is called the Shelter Tower, which was built by the Aoyin civilization in the world of disaster. There is such a tower in each special area, which is not only a safe house but also a guide.
The Shelter Tower has magical powers.
The first floor is the resurrection altar.
In short, the user can be resurrected through it.
However, it is limited to the owners of five cornerstone runes.
In addition, the owner must provide energy every time he resurrects.
The wisdom rune represents the blood of the spirit. A full bar of the blood of the spirit can revive Kaxiu once.
Energy needs to be injected into the resurrection altar in advance.
Kaxiu is not too clear about the principle inside, but it is probably related to the body composed of spirit and wisdom runes. Spirit is not a physical body, and it can still be recondensed after it collapses.
The wisdom runes on the spirit body are connected to the resurrection altar, and they can echo each other even at a long distance.
It is very likely that the resurrection altar will attract the collapsed spirit back little by little, and it will take a certain amount of time to recondense the body.
With the existence of the resurrection altar, Kaxiu can obviously be much more at ease. After all, exploring the world of disaster is quite dangerous.
There are dark creatures everywhere, and there is a dangerous environment.
There is even a fighter-level undead who will be attracted and fight Kaxiu to death without saying a word.
The second floor, the library of doom.
That is where Kaxiu is now. It stores some information about the world of disaster, detailed information on various dangerous areas and evil tribes. It also serves as a guide.
The third floor, the defensive magic array.
Its core is a half-human-high transparent crystal, surrounded by rituals throughout the tower. After activation, a defensive gray film similar to a barrier can be generated to cover the White Tower.
To prevent the most important resurrection altar from being damaged.
As long as there is enough energy, even if the ultimate dark body appears, the defensive gray film can resist one or two. This can make the White Tower like a safe house, allowing the soul to rest assured.
You must know that entering the world of disaster with a spirit body will be affected by the endless disasters in the air. If it takes too long, you will lose your mind and gradually become a crazy beast. And inside the White Tower with the defense array turned on, the disaster will be filtered and expelled. Let the soul return to a state where it can move normally.
Spiritual blood can be used as the maintenance energy of the defense array.
In addition, the core crystal of the defense array can also play a positioning effect, and it can be used in conjunction with the map that Kaxiu just got.
No matter where Kaxiu is in the world of disaster, there will be two red dots on the map, one is fixed, which is the location of the shelter tower. The other is mobile, Kaxiu himself.
In this way, you can distinguish the position and direction.
Don't get lost in various weird environments.
Another thing to note is that there is not just one shelter tower. Every special area in the disaster world has a tower that provides disaster relief and serves as a safe house.
There is no teleportation function between the towers, but there are two wonderful methods. It allows Kaxiu to quickly travel between several special areas in the world of disaster without having to travel dangerously.
First, leave one person's spiritual blood on the resurrection altar of each tower, so that after death, you can choose which tower to resurrect and condense into a spirit body again.
Second, there is a magical item called the Soul Certificate on the third floor of the tower. After Kaxiu gets it, he doesn't have to go through a fixed tunnel to enter the world of disaster. He only needs to activate the Soul Certificate to enter the world of disaster at any location in the real world. And the initial location of the Soul Certificate can be selected.
Kaxiu can specify any activated shelter tower.
With a snap, a pair of hands closed the ancient book again.
Kaxiu took a deep breath and digested the contents in his mind.
Suddenly, he found something wrong. Kaxiu was a night visitor in Black Rain Villa in the third retrospection, and he hunted many dark creatures. But he has never heard of or encountered a tunnel leading to the world of disaster.
Facing Kaxiu's torture, all the dark creatures showed that they were species from the real world.
The black agency also had no information about the world of disaster.
This is very wrong.
From the period of the Red Li Empire to the period of the Red Li Federation, something must have happened in the middle, causing the information gap.
No, this is no longer like an information gap, but a bit like a conceptual gap. Everyone, including the dark creatures themselves, has forgotten the concept of the world of disaster. Just like when Kaxiu went back for the third time, he vaguely felt that there was a pair of mysterious hands blocking the contact and collision between the secret martial arts world and other extraordinary forces. The secret martial arts world seems to be an independent existence that has been separated out and is difficult to intersect with other forces.
Moreover, Kaxiu has always had a doubt. The secret martial arts world has been declining for hundreds of years. Is it really because of the changes in the era of technological progress? It seems that there is not necessarily an absolute relationship between the two. For example, scientific training movements can give martial arts practitioners a better technical strength foundation.
Behind all of this, there seems to be a mysterious force manipulating it. Like an eye in the mist, it looked down at the world, occasionally taking action to change the pulse of the times.
The sect organization? Or the immortal Xiadu?
Kaxiu didn't know.
He only knew that he had to go to the third floor to take the soul certificate. Then he went to the Ash City to hunt dark creatures, use a portion of spiritual blood to activate the defense layer of the high tower, and then slowly plan.
