Chapter 231 - Nine Seals
Before the Phantom Eye dispersed its soul, Tang Huan kept saying in a suppressed voice at the bottom of his heart.
Since beast spirits could be used for Spirit Adhesion s when forging weapons, naturally so could human souls. The Magic Eye was a soul body, and when it was awake, it would collect and nurture its soul. When forging weapons in the future, it would integrate it into the body of the weapon spirit.
In this way, not only could the Illusory Eye continue to live on in the world, it could also escape Fen Tian"s control.
However, in the end, Tang Huan still did not say these words out loud.
The method of the Spirit Adhesion was revealed through the Illusory Eye. If Tang Huan could think of this method, how could the Illusory Eye not think of it? The reason he didn"t tell Tang Huan was because he already had a death wish. He no longer had any attachment towards this world and only wanted to use his illusory ident.i.ty to free himself.
Tang Huan still decided to respect his decision.
As the number one swordmaster in Human Clan, Fantasy Eyes had always been proud.
Rather than bear the burden of decades of sin and continue to live in this world, it was better to just vanish like this, completely disappearing from this world.
After a long while, Tang Huan finally regained his senses, and turned to look outside the cave. High up in the sky, the gigantic sword had already disappeared without a trace, and the entire Sword Crafting Valley was enveloped in darkness.
Tang Huan put away the "Dark Yin Soul Demonic Bead" in his bosom, gathered his thoughts, and walked towards the interior of the cave in large strides.
The dragon and phoenix spears in Tang Huan"s hands once again released a brilliant red and green light, illuminating the entire cave.
The highest point of this arched cave was more than three meters, and its width was also more than three meters. The length of the entire cave was about ten meters.
After a short while, Tang Huan stopped at the end of the cave with big strides.
The inner wall had traces of the digging left behind, making it look b.u.mpy and uneven, but according to the old man"s description. There should be some sort of mystery hidden on the wall. Tang Huan stood on the tip of his spear, and his two eyes started to size it up.
Not long later, Tang Huan had already locked onto the seven little b.u.mps that were hidden within the lines.
Each b.u.mp was only the size of his pinky, so it was extremely inconspicuous on the wall. However, every b.u.mp was a bit brighter than the surrounding stone walls, as if they were touched frequently. These seven protrusions were scattered all over the inner wall, disorderly and without any pattern.
"Chi!"
Tang Huan squinted his eyes and moved like lightning. In the next moment, his index finger, which was filled with Genuine Qi, heavily touched one of the protruding spots.
It was just that when he pressed it heavily, the b.u.mp slowly disappeared into the wall.
"Sure enough."
A hint of a smile appeared on Tang Huan"s face, and as his fingers moved, he pressed onto the second protrusion, then the third, and the fourth …
In just a few short breaths of time, all seven protrusions had completely sunk.
"Boom!"
And also at this time, a thunderous noise suddenly reverberated across the inside the cave, causing one"s ears to buzz. Immediately after, the wall actually burst out brilliant rays of light, making it hard to look at, Tang Huan subconsciously narrowed his eyes into two small slits.
With a flick of his finger, the white light disappeared.
Tang Huan"s eyelids jumped open, in his line of sight, the wall had already disappeared, and a tunnel continued to extend forward, the top of the tunnel had many white beads embedded inside, and under the gentle light, the newly revealed cave channel was illuminated as though it was day.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
Like a galloping horse, Tang Huan charged forward explosively.
The tunnel twisted and turned, going through a hundred cycles and a thousand cycles. Behind him, a faint rumbling sound could be heard, and the wall that should have disappeared once again appeared, sealing cave channel once more.
After walking forward for a few hundred meters, another wall appeared, and the scarred wall once again had seven protruding spots.
"Chi!"
However, the sequence in which Tang Huan"s finger landed was completely different from the one in front.
This made Tang Huan feel as if he had unlocked the pa.s.sword in his previous life. Seven digits, disorganized, picked out two different groups, and it became the pa.s.sword to open these two walls.
"Boom!"
Indeed, just like before, when all seven convex spots had been pressed down, a loud sound rang out once again. Another blinding white light was released.
However, when the wall disappeared, what appeared was a curved pa.s.sage.
Tang Huan was not surprised, and quickly proceeded forward.
"It"s already the ninth time!"
After a long while, Tang Huan stood in front of another wall, the depths of his eyes revealing unconcealable antic.i.p.ation and excitement.
He did not know what was inside, but there were actually nine layers of seals.
However, what interested him the most was the ident.i.ty of his master, Ou Xie. If he even knew the method to open the Nine Layer Barriers, how could it be so simple?
This level of secret was something that a blacksmith known as a low level Weapon Refiner should not know.
Back then, when he returned from the Divine Weapon Pavilion and found out that the old man had left his Grandmaster"s Badge, Tang Huan only suspected one or two that his master was the Stage Nine Martial Saint and the Weapon Refining Grand Master. After returning from the Maze Realm Forest to obtain the old man"s cultivation technique and three pages of Divine Weapon Catalogue s, Tang Huan"s doubt in his heart had increased from one to two points, to five to six points. But now, Tang Huan"s suspicion of the old man"s ident.i.ty had increased to eighty to ninety percent.
"Chi!"
In a blink of an eye, Tang Huan"s finger had already landed on the ground.
The seven protruding spots sank in succession, and the rumbling sound once again resounded through the cave. A white light flashed, and when Tang Huan once again opened his eyes, he immediately saw the light.
There was actually a circular s.p.a.ce behind this wall. It was around a dozen meters in radius and was quite s.p.a.cious. The top of the s.p.a.ce, as well as the surrounding walls, were similarly inlaid with white beads. Gentle rays of light scattered down from the sky, illuminating the entire s.p.a.ce.
"Yiya!"
Xiao Budian"s eyes lit up. He suddenly shouted excitedly and jumped out of the cloth bag, landing on the ground.
"Did you find some kind of gem?"
Tang Huan laughed in his heart as his gaze swept the area.
The furnis.h.i.+ngs in the s.p.a.ce were extremely simple, the tables, tables, chairs, stools, weapons shelves, all sorts of things gave Tang Huan a familiar feeling. Upon closer inspection, Tang Huan"s heart understood that this place was actually equivalent to a blacksmith shop that had expanded multiple times.
Not long later, Tang Huan was attracted by the fiery-red jade tablet in the center of the s.p.a.ce.
The jade tablet was several meters tall and one meter wide. It looked as if it had been carved out of red jade and was glittering and translucent. It was emitting a fiery red light all the time. On the jade tablet, one could faintly see rows and rows of calligraphy that were like dancing dragons and phoenixes. It was unknown what was written inside.
Tang Huan thought slightly, and almost instinctively took a step forward.
