Ling Xiao raised the Flying Fire Sword and fiercely slashed at the container.
He had controlled this attack very well, only using 50% of his strength, for fear that he would destroy the treasure inside the container.
Ding!
The Flying Fire Sword slashed open the container's lid. Before Ling Xiao could see what it was, he felt a pain in his Knowledge Sea, and a hoarse and ferocious voice sounded.
"Damned lowlife, you almost made my soul scatter. Since you can't use your main body anymore, give your strong body to This King!" This voice was the Emperor-level remnant soul that had fought against Ling Xiao and the others.
It had almost been destroyed by the Sky Suppression Drum, and it had lost most of the soul power it had absorbed. It was afraid that this lowlife would attack it again, and if that happened, it would be very difficult for it to survive. Therefore, it had been hiding in its main body, not releasing any aura fluctuations, so that Ling Xiao couldn't sense it.
Now, while Ling Xiao wasn't paying attention, it instantly flew out of its main body and entered Ling Xiao's Knowledge Sea.
After the golden light entered the Knowledge Sea, it immediately transformed into the face of a middle-aged man, this face was the same as the face of the mighty man outside.
When it saw that Ling Xiao's Knowledge Sea was so vast, and then looked at the pure and vast spiritual liquid, it couldn't help but laugh. "Good fellow, such a big Knowledge Sea, it's almost as vast as This King's Knowledge Sea in the past. Let's suck his Knowledge Sea dry first, this is a great tonic!"
It didn't notice the existence of the gray and blue beads in the other corner, and it opened its mouth to absorb Ling Xiao's spiritual liquid.
In the blink of an eye, a lot of Ling Xiao's spiritual liquid was absorbed, and the face became more and more excited and greedy, and it couldn't help but speed up the absorption.
"It's comfortable enough, isn't it?" A lazy voice sounded.
The middle-aged face didn't turn around, and lightly replied, "Not bad!"
After saying that, it paused and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Ling Xiao looking at it with his arms crossed.
"I didn't expect a lowly commoner like you to be so calm. Have you accepted your fate?" That gloomy face looked at Ling Xiao and faintly said.
"Haha, you remnant soul, no matter how awe-inspiring you were when you were alive, now that you've fallen into my hands, you're the true lowly commoner," laughed Ling Xiao.
Although a lot of his spiritual fluid had been absorbed, it had not hurt his foundation, so he was not afraid to talk to the human face.
"How dare you be impudent to This King. Once I absorb all of your Spiritual Fluid, wipe your sea of consciousness, and occupy your body, let's see if you can still smile then!"
The face said faintly and began to absorb the spiritual fluid again, as if it did not care about Ling Xiao's existence.
"Hmph, you still want to continue sucking, you are too greedy!" Ling Xiao coldly snorted and immediately mobilized his Spirit Liquid.
All the Spiritual Liquid transformed into countless sharp blades that pierced towards the face.
"You actually know how to attack with spiritual force!" The remnant soul was very surprised to see the spiritual fluid that was attacking it.
However, the remnant soul was extraordinary. It could actually form a defensive shield that blocked all the spiritual force attacks.
Ling Xiao looked at the golden defensive shield that appeared in front of the remnant soul in astonishment. He really did not expect that the remnant soul would have such a magical method. It could actually block the spiritual force attacks, which really surprised him.
"Hehe, your spiritual force attacks are not bad, but it's still far from hurting me. If I hadn't been injured by the Heaven Suppressing Drum just now, I would have completely killed you now!"
The middle-aged man laughed sinisterly, then he opened his mouth and pounced towards Ling Xiao, obviously wanting to devour Ling Xiao's soul.
Ling Xiao did not show a panicked expression. Instead, he even had a strange smile on his face.
The middle-aged man looked at Ling Xiao's calm smile and for some reason, felt a sense of unease.
It thought to itself, "What kind of tricks can this lowly person have? He must be pretending to be calm!"
However, just as it approached Ling Xiao, a burning sensation hit it, causing it to immediately stop pouncing towards Ling Xiao.
"What's that?" The middle-aged man exclaimed as he hurriedly retreated.
He saw Ling Xiao playing with a blue flame in his hand. He looked at it with a playful smile on his face and said, "Come here, as long as you devour me, my body will be yours!"
The middle-aged man's expression immediately became extremely ugly. "I forgot that you have the Heavenly Fire. Good boy, we will meet again in the mountains and rivers. I pray that you will continue to be so lucky!"
After saying that, it quickly fled out of Ling Xiao's sea of consciousness.
The Heavenly Fire could burn anything, and the Heavenly Fire happened to be the nemesis of souls. Once it was touched, it would immediately be finished.
"Since you're here, don't leave!" Ling Xiao said lightly.
Immediately afterward, a ball of blue flame appeared around his sea of consciousness.
Ah!
Just as the soul was about to burrow out, the blue flame suddenly burned, causing it to scream in pain from the scorching heat.
"No … you damned lowly person, quickly let this king out!" The face appeared again, its face distorted as it roared at Ling Xiao.
"Hehe, you've absorbed so much of my spiritual power, you should at least show me something!" Ling Xiao crossed his arms in front of his chest and said with a faint smile.
"Tell me … what do you want to show me, I'll give it to you!" The face immediately agreed and said.
Right now, it had to trick this kid into letting it out. Otherwise, if it really died here, it wouldn't be reconciled to it!
"En, this attitude is not bad. My request is not high, you can definitely do it!" Ling Xiao said with a satisfied expression.
"Tell me, no matter what level of Xuan skill you want or what secret you want to know, I will definitely tell you everything!" The face replied nervously.
Ling Xiao revealed a playful smile and said, "I don't need any of these, I only need your soul!"
"Boy, are you playing with me?
Do you know who this king is? "The face suddenly became angry and exclaimed.
"I only know that you're a remnant soul, nothing else!" Ling Xiao said lightly.
"This king is the King of the Kim people's Dynasty, if you know what's good for you, then let this king go!" The face roared in shock, and a supreme power suppressed towards Ling Xiao.
"The Kim people's Dynasty?" Ling Xiao ignored the pressure of the face, and replied in a daze.
The face revealed a proud expression and said, "As long as you let this king go, I can tell you the high level Purple Tier or even Brown Tier Xuan skills, otherwise … even if I have to risk my life, this king will not let you go easily!"
"No matter who you are, but … you have no right to challenge me here!"
Ling Xiao responded faintly, and then began to mobilize the surrounding Heavenly Fire to wrap around the face.
"Don't … Don't … You damned lowly commoner, quickly let me go … Otherwise, I'll make you die a horrible death …" The face constantly cried out in fear.
However, it discovered that the blue flames only wrapped around it, and did not destroy it.
Unexpectedly, runes condensed from mental power were imprinted on it.
"This … Are these high level mental runes?
What are you trying to do? "The face became more and more uneasy as it roared.
It was now compressed into a corner by the Heavenly Fire, and did not dare to move. It could only watch as those mental runes imprinted on its soul.
"You actually want to absorb me?
No … Don't, let me go … I can serve you as my master! "The face constantly cried out in alarm.
Unfortunately, Ling Xiao turned a deaf ear to it, and continued to send out mental runes. Many runes wrapped around the face, making it difficult for it to make any sound.
Ling Xiao let out a light sigh of relief, and then he immediately sat down cross-legged while a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He thought to himself, There's a path to heaven, yet you refuse to take it, yet you insist on taking it when there's no door to hell. You just happen to fulfill my wish!
Ling Xiao closed his eyes and started to absorb the Emperor Rank soul with all his might.
The strength of an Emperor Rank soul wasn't like an ordinary soul. Moreover, the strength of this soul was a few tens of times stronger than the two Quasi Emperor Rank souls he'd encountered earlier.
Ling Xiao was sure that this Emperor Rank soul had already attained the high or peak Emperor Rank.
He couldn't understand why he had to bitterly guard that useless body of his. It should have been easy for him to possess someone else's body and be reborn, so why did he have to bitterly guard that useless body of his?
Ling Xiao didn't pursue the matter, and he felt that everything would be understood once he completely absorbed the soul energy.
Ling Xiao used an entire seven days and seven nights to completely absorb and refine the Emperor Rank soul.
His mental fluid had actually increased by a few times, and it was practically filling up his sea of consciousness.
"Looks like I only need to absorb one or two more Quasi Emperor souls to fill up my sea of consciousness," Ling Xiao murmured with satisfaction.
However, when Ling Xiao thought about how there should be many more souls in the Chaos Abyss of War, he wasn't satisfied with just filling up his sea of consciousness. That would be a huge waste of resources.
However, once his mental fluid reached a saturation state, the only way to increase it would be to expand his sea of consciousness.
Expanding one's sea of knowledge wasn't an easy task. The only way to expand one's sea of knowledge was if one's strength advanced, or if one focused on using Soul Power to expand it bit by bit. That way, one could also expand one's sea of knowledge.
But no matter which method it was, it was rather slow, so the last method was to use some kind of spirit herb that was useful to the sea of consciousness to expand it.
Of course, Ling Xiao wasn't in a hurry to use spirit herbs to expand his sea of consciousness. He needed to slowly digest all the memories of the soul, and not let it disappear.
Ling Xiao sat there for another half a month before he completely assimilated most of the useful memories of the soul into his own.
Ling Xiao opened his eyes and revealed a joyful smile, "I've really made a killing this time!
I didn't expect this guy to really be a prince of the Kim people's dynasty, and also the younger brother of the Kim people's emperor from 100,000 years ago. Haha, the entire Ancient Emperor Divine Art is here … this is awesome! "
Ling Xiao didn't expect that the soul energy he obtained this time was actually related to his cultivation of the Ancient Emperor Divine Art.
This time, he finally obtained the true version of the Ancient Emperor Divine Art. With this, he could unleash the true power of the Ancient Emperor Divine Art, and cultivate it to its most perfect state.
Thinking about this, Ling Xiao was really happy.
At the same time, he finally understood why the Gu family could cultivate the Ancient Emperor Divine Art like him. It turned out that there was a secret that no one knew about.
