Chapter 242 Soul Light Group
The soul body of "Venerable Turtle Spirit" flickered slightly in mid-air. He looked around at the nervous people in the hall, with a faint smile on his face, as if he had already anticipated the surrounding situation.
He spoke slowly, and although his voice was weak, it reached everyone's ears clearly: "Haha, hello, young man, I have already observed the battle process between you and my body in the sky. I have to say , you are really outstanding.”
Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he was still a little confused, he still responded: "Your Majesty is overly complimentary. I just tried my best."
The soul body of "Venerable Turtle Spirit" shook his head slightly. Although his voice was soft, it carried a majesty that could not be ignored. He continued: "No, your strength and courage really impressed me. You are not only You have mastered a variety of powerful strange fires, and according to my observation, you are not yet twenty years old, but you already have the strength of a three-star Douzong. What is even more amazing is that your soul power has already reached the spiritual realm. Such a talent is really rare. I have been traveling across the mainland for many years and have never heard of it before.
Facing the praise from "Venerable Turtle Ling", Xiao Ling nodded slightly and responded humbly: "I am unworthy of the praise from the Venerable. My achievements are inseparable from the guidance and help of my teachers and friends along the way."
The soul body of "Venerable Turtle Spirit" was swaying gently in mid-air. He showed a look of approval for Xiao Ling's humble attitude: "It is true that talent is given by God, but what really brings you to this point is , it’s your mentality and unremitting efforts. You have a maturity and stability beyond your age, which is really rare among the younger generation.”
Then, the soul body of "Venerable Turtle Spirit" flickered again, as if he was in deep thought. After a moment, he spoke again: "I think I guessed it right. The purpose of your trip is to get my turtle spirit earth fire. After all, you have proven that you have the ability to conquer multiple kinds of strange fires at the same time."
Hearing "Venerable Turtle Spirit" mention the topic, Xiao Ling's expression also became serious: "What the senior said is absolutely true. The reason why I came here is precisely because I got the map of the senior ruins and learned that the senior had once After subduing a turtle spirit earth fire, I rushed to the ruins here, hoping to get this precious strange fire. "
"I have practiced a very special skill. This skill not only allows me to control several kinds of strange fires at the same time, but also quickly enhances my strength by absorbing these strange fires. I can achieve what I have today. This unique skill has helped me a lot. Therefore, I must get the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire." At this point, Xiao Ling's eyes flashed with determination.
Venerable Turtle Ling nodded slightly, as if he was not surprised by these words. He chuckled and said: "Oh, it's really a surprising skill. I have learned a lot today. However, being able to practice such a skill is not something ordinary people can do. You are so young and have four strange flowers. With fire in your hand, you are obviously a lucky person."
Xiao Ling could only smile in response to this. After all, he was able to obtain these strange fires. Although there was also an element of luck, it was mostly based on the advantage of foresight. Naturally, he would not tell anyone about such things. of.
"Venerable Turtle Spirit" gently stroked his beard, with a faint smile on his face. There was a hint of relief in his voice: "Previously, through special means, my previous will has been carried out on you. After some investigation, it seems that you are not my blood descendants. The map that led to my ruins must have been obtained by chance, right?"
When the words fell here, "Venerable Turtle Spirit" let out a gentle sigh and continued, "It seems that my family has probably been lost in the long river of history. However, even if you and I are not Blood relationship, but based on the talent you have shown, you are fully qualified to inherit my turtle spirit earth fire. "
Hearing the words of "Venerable Turtle Spirit", Xiao Ling's lips showed a smile involuntarily. It seems that this turtle spirit earth fire is finally his own.
He nodded gently, with a firm light in his eyes, and made a solemn promise to the soul body of "Venerable Turtle Spirit": "Don't worry, I will never let you down. I will carry this Turtle Spirit Earth Fire towards the Dou Qi Continent. The peak of progress.”
"The pinnacle of Dou Qi Continent, do you want to become Dou Emperor? Haha, it's good for young people to have this ambition, but this road is not easy." "Venerable Turtle Spirit" gently stroked his beard and spoke indifferently, But with a smile of relief, he was obviously very satisfied with Xiao Ling's answer. "However, since you have this image, then continue on with this gift from me."
While speaking, he raised his left hand, and saw a dark brown light rising from his palm, and then summoned the turtle spirit earth fire.
At this time, the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire was no longer as violent as before. Its size had shrunk to the size of a palm, making it appear particularly docile. It swayed gently in the hands of "Venerable Turtle Spirit", as if looking for support, and then intimately surrounded "Venerable Turtle Spirit", like a pet that had found its home.
Under the gaze of everyone, "Venerable Turtle Spirit" gently stroked the head of the little turtle transformed by the turtle spirit's earth fire. His subtle movements revealed deep reluctance and tenderness. There was a hint of smile in his voice, but it was difficult to hide the solemnity in it: "Little guy, you can follow Xiao Ling from now on, he will be your new master."
After saying that, with a gentle wave of his hand, "Venerable Turtle Spirit"'s restraint on Turtle Spirit Earth Fire dissipated. As the restraints were lifted, his soul began to become more transparent and weaker.
The little turtle lingered in mid-air for a moment, its eyes showing attachment and reluctance to "Venerable Turtle Spirit", as if it was saying its final farewell.
The eyes of "Venerable Turtle Spirit" were full of relief and expectation. He stared at the little turtle quietly, as if conveying a silent blessing. With the encouragement of the Venerable, the little turtle finally turned around and floated slowly towards Xiao Ling.
Turtle Spirit Earth Fire itself is quite spiritual. Although it cannot carry out complex communication like humans, it can feel people's intentions and emotions. After receiving instructions from "Venerable Turtle Spirit" and its previous fight with Xiao Ling, it had a certain understanding and recognition of the strength of its new master. Guiling Earth Fire didn't show much resistance to becoming Xiao Ling's strange fire.
It also understood that its original master had passed away, and what it faced now was just the remnant soul of the venerable. With this understanding, Guiling Dihuo is open to a new beginning and is ready to accept Xiao Ling as his new master. And it also knew in its heart that even if it disagreed, with the strength shown by that person just now, it would not be able to escape the consequences of being refined.
Xiao Ling stared at the turtle spirit earth fire that came to him lightly, and a warm smile flashed in his eyes. He said softly: "Hello, little guy, please give me your advice from now on." There was a hint of smile in his tone, as if he was greeting a new friend.
Turtle Spirit Earth Fire seemed to really understand Xiao Ling's words. The little turtle shape condensed by the strange fire moved slightly, and its little head nodded lightly. Although there was no overly intimate behavior, the smart eyes There is no longer any resistance and hostility from the previous fight with Xiao Ling.
At this moment, a silent connection seemed to be established between Xiao Ling and Guiling Dihuo.
Xiao Ling slowly stretched out his hand and let the turtle spirit earth fire fall gently on his palm.
In Xiao Ling's palm, the turtle spirit earth fire slowly rotated, seeming to respond to his movements. Its light became softer, exuding a thick feeling.
If this is an untamed wild fire, even in any difficult situation, it will definitely resist and will never allow others to refine it easily. However, this turtle spirit earth fire had experienced being subdued by cultivators before, and even after the death of "Venerable Turtle Spirit", it was not released and regained its freedom.
Therefore, Guiling Dihuo did not have much resentment or resistance to the change of being subdued by others again. It seemed to understand that this was destiny, and it showed an adaptable attitude towards accepting Xiao Ling as its new master.
Witnessing the scene of Xiao Ling and Turtle Spirit Earth Fire living in harmony, "Venerable Turtle Spirit" also showed a relieved smile on his face. With a hint of relaxation in his voice, he asked Xiao Ling a question: "Young man, now that you have obtained the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire, when do you plan to start absorbing its power?"
Xiao Ling heard the inquiry from "Venerable Turtle Spirit" and temporarily stopped interacting with the turtle spirit. He turned to face the senior and replied in a relaxed tone: "Senior, I am not in a hurry to absorb this turtle spirit right away." Earth Fire. I have mastered a special method of storing strange fire. After I deal with some urgent matters, I will choose a suitable time to calm down and concentrate on refining this turtle spirit Earth Fire."
Under the gaze of "Venerable Turtle Spirit", Xiao Ling took out the Qinglian pedestal calmly. This elegant and mysterious pedestal exudes a faint cyan light. Xiao Ling gently guided the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire to the pedestal, and then he placed the Qinglian pedestal, together with the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire inside, into the system space.
As soon as the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire was put into the system space, Xiao Ling skillfully controlled it to escape from the Qinglian pedestal. The power of Turtle Spirit Earth Fire is extremely powerful, far beyond the ability of the companion creatures of Qinglian Earth Fire to match or control. If the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire hadn't restrained itself, once it got close to the Green Lotus pedestal, its fiery power would have been enough to damage the pedestal. The reason why Xiao Ling took out the Qinglian pedestal was just to hide it from others and avoid attracting unnecessary attention.
This scene made "Venerable Turtle Spirit" look surprised. He sighed softly: "I didn't expect that there are methods that can store strange fires now. It's really unbelievable." Although he was full of surprise, he did not dwell too much on this matter. With such a method, a person who had already died People can no longer use it.
After a slight pause, "Venerable Turtle Spirit" continued: "Since you have a comprehensive plan, it is naturally a good thing. I originally planned to provide some help when you refine the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire, but now it seems that There’s no need for that anymore.”
"Haha, thank you for your concern, senior." Xiao Ling chuckled, with a hint of relaxation and gratitude in his tone. Then he turned his eyes to the increasingly transparent figure of "Venerable Turtle Spirit", with a flash of light in his eyes, sincerely He suggested, "Senior, I have actually mastered some special methods that may be able to help the soul body resurrect. Seeing your current state, I think I may be able to provide some help."
When "Venerable Turtle Spirit" heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure, as if waiting for Xiao Ling's further explanation.
Pointing to the two soul bodies of Yaochen and Yaotianhuo beside him, Xiao Ling continued: "For example, the seniors Yaochen and Yaotianhuo around me are also soul bodies. I promised them that I would look for them. Method to restore their bodies."
After hearing this, Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo nodded slightly, confirming Xiao Ling's words.
Yao Chen then added: "It is true. Xiao Ling does have the ability to resurrect the soul body. As for the materials needed for resurrection, he has almost collected them all."
Yao Tianhuo also agreed: "Yes, there are still some medicinal materials needed for resurrection, which were collected in the medicinal field where you left me, my friend."
After finishing speaking, the three people's eyes turned to "Venerable Turtle Spirit" in unison, their eyes full of expectation, waiting for his answer.
For Xiao Ling, it is not difficult to resurrect one more soul body. Carrying the soul of "Venerable Turtle Spirit" around will not only not pose any threat, but in the future, after successfully resurrecting Yaochen and Yaotianhuo first, there will even be a chance to recruit this "Venerable Turtle Spirit" to join Starfall Pavilion.
An eighth-grade alchemist who has reached the level of Dou Zun is undoubtedly a valuable talent that any force is eager to recruit. Yao Tianhuo and Yao Chen had already made plans. Once resurrected, Yao Tianhuo planned to join Xingyun Pavilion as an elder.
After listening to the words of the three people, "Venerable Turtle Spirit" just smiled softly, shook his head slightly, and said to Xiao Ling: "Young man, I appreciate your kindness. But in fact, the origin of my soul has long been exhausted. Now what you are doing What I saw was just a soul clone that I created using special means, and even the memory was incomplete. The main purpose of creating this soul clone was just to find a successor. The real me no longer exists. , from the moment this clone appeared, it was destined to disappear from the world. Now that my mission has been completed, I have no regrets. "
His voice was calm and indifferent, revealing a kind of detachment and relief, as if he had seen the cycle of life and death thoroughly.
Xiao Ling was startled for a moment, then nodded in understanding, "In that case, we won't force it anymore."
The soul clone of "Venerable Turtle Spirit" gradually became transparent as the burden in his heart was lifted, but there was still a satisfied smile on his lips. His voice was calm, with a hint of expectation, and he asked: "I have no regrets about having a successor like you. Before I disappear, can you tell me your name?"
"My name is Xiao Ling." Xiao Ling replied succinctly.
"Venerable Turtle Spirit" nodded slightly, with a trace of approval in his eyes: "Xiao Ling, what a good name, I remember it. Accept it, this is my last gift to you, and my body, you Take it too, it is a Dou Zun-level body, and it should have some value. It may be of some help to the resurrection of your two soul body seniors. I just hope that you will not bury this turtle spirit earth fire in the future. I'm satisfied."
As his words fell, the soul clone of "Venerable Turtle Spirit" began to emit soft white light. He raised his hand, and wisps of light gathered in his palm, gradually condensing into a ball of light. As the light group gradually solidified, his soul began to slowly dissipate like morning mist meeting the rising sun.
The moment the light group formed, the soul body of "Venerable Turtle Spirit" finally dissipated. Before dissipating, the gaze he cast on Xiao Ling was full of relief and expectation. Then he slowly closed his eyes, as if he had completed his final mission, and quietly integrated into the world.
Seeing the soul of "Venerable Turtle Spirit" dissipate, everyone felt an unspeakable sadness in their hearts. This once all-powerful Dou Zun strongman is now disappearing into the heaven and earth silently, leaving no trace.
A solemn silence enveloped the entire hall, and everyone used silence to express their final respect for this senior.
After a long period of silence, Xiao Ling finally broke the silence around him softly. He stretched out his hand and made a slight move, and the light ball left by "Venerable Turtle Spirit" slowly floated toward him, as if being pulled by an invisible thread.
When the light ball landed lightly on Xiao Ling's palm, he realized that the light ball contained not only a little bit of fighting spirit, but also a profound soul imprint. It exudes faint soul fluctuations in the air, spreading slowly like ripples, giving people a peaceful and profound feeling.
Xiao Ling looked at the ball of light in his hand, a flash of confusion in his eyes. This is the first time I have seen this kind of light group emitting soul fluctuations.
Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo noticed Xiao Ling's expression and stepped forward, curiously looking at what "Venerable Turtle Spirit" had left behind.
At the same time, the little medical fairy pulled Zi Yan and Qing Lin and approached Xiao Ling. They formed a circle and focused on the light group.
Xiao Ling carefully examined the light group in his hand, but failed to identify its secret. He was full of curiosity, so he turned his attention to Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo, hoping that these two experienced old men could provide some clues.
Xiao Ling asked with a trace of curiosity: "Mr. Yao, Senior Tianhuo, can you see what this light group does? I can feel that there is a very strange soul wave inside this light group."
Hearing this, Yaochen and Yaotianhuo looked at each other, then floated forward and observed the light group intently. Their expressions gradually became more focused, and they were obviously sensing the secret of the light group seriously.
Yao Tianhuo shook his head, saying that he couldn't understand the origin of this light group. But after some exploration, Yao Chen's eyes flashed with a look of understanding, and he said: "If I guessed correctly, this light group should contain the inherited memory of 'Venerable Turtle Spirit' . Xiao Ling, if you absorb it, you should be able to obtain part of his memory. As for what is recorded in it, I don't know. If you want to find out what is recorded in it, you can only absorb it completely. "
