Chapter 117: Alex reappears, with the third eye not fully awakened! At this time, Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea had turned into a green ocean, and the thick breath of life gradually became sticky. And his sea of spirituality itself was expanding outward at an extremely astonishing speed. Tianmeng and Bingdi looked at each other and were both shocked! What exactly did Yuhao integrate? This huge life force pouring into the sea of spirituality is also of great benefit to them. Although they were surprised, they did not forget to work together to protect Huo Yuhao's spiritual origin while feeling the changes around them. The next moment, a gray light flickered in Huo Yuhao’s spiritual sea. A figure, calm and elegant, slowly emerged in the flickering gray light. It was an old man in white with an aged face who appeared in Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness with a faint smile. As soon as the old man appeared, Tian Meng was shocked and asked, "Master Yi, are you fully awake?" Bingdi's heart moved slightly and he looked at the old man.
Is this the teacher that Yuhao once mentioned? Out of curiosity, the Ice Emperor sensed it briefly and was immediately shocked. He was horrified to find that as soon as his mental power touched the old man, it was like a drop in the ocean, with no reaction at all. The only thing that could be felt from this old man was a sense of detachment. It’s like the old man in front of him, whose level of spiritual awareness has far surpassed all life in this world. The next moment, Alex cast his gaze on Bingdi and looked at him with interest. …… At this moment, Huo Yuhao felt that his brow was about to crack. The pain of fusing the Holy Spirit Gold this time seemed to be ten times worse than the one when fusing the Ice Emperor. Even though he was enduring such inhuman pain, he was still conscious. In his spiritual sea, Huo Yuhao quickly gathered his body and came to Master Yi. He said with joy from the bottom of his heart, "Teacher, you are finally awake." Master and disciple met again after a long absence. Alex looked at Huo Yuhao and nodded with great satisfaction: "Yuhao, it seems that you had another adventure during my sleep. In addition to the big bug, there is also a small scorpion here." Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “Teacher, this is Ice Emperor. It has merged with me and become my second martial soul.” "Well, this little scorpion has good cultivation. It is very suitable to be your second martial spirit." Alex said with a smile. "Teacher, how do you feel now?" Huo Yuhao discovered that although Alex had awakened, his figure seemed a little illusory, and he couldn't help but worry. Yi Lao shook his head: "Yuhao, it's rare that you can find such a treasure as the Gold of Life. This time, I was stimulated by this huge vitality and temporarily regained consciousness. This strand of my soul has no foundation and is too empty. If I maintain consciousness for a long time, it may collapse at any time." "If you don't replenish your soul power, it will only be a temporary solution and not a permanent cure." Hearing this, Huo Yuhao lowered his eyes in disappointment, feeling uneasy. "Haha, Yuhao, there's no need to be like this. Although I may have to continue to fall into a deep sleep, there is still good news."
"Each piece of Soul Gold is equivalent to a world. Although it cannot completely awaken me, it can allow me to slowly nourish my soul with it. At least it can ensure that the last bit of my soul will not disintegrate." "Yuhao, I don't have much time. I will seal the huge vitality of this gold of life into your spiritual sea. With this treasure, your spiritual power will grow faster, and your spiritual sea will be immortal. Even your body, no matter what kind of injury it suffers, as long as your brain is still there, it can recover in time, and it will not be easy to die." Before Huo Yuhao could say anything, Alex shouted: "Yuhao, I don't have much time, let's start now!" Having said that, Alex did not delay. He drew a line with his right hand in front of him, and a green light gate appeared in front of him. The shadow he transformed into stepped into the light gate and disappeared. At this moment, the carving knife that was inserted into Huo Yuhao’s forehead trembled slightly and turned into a green liquid that flowed into Huo Yuhao’s head. The wound between his eyebrows did not close as the carving knife was used, but slowly opened like an eye. A gray bead appeared and blended skillfully with the surrounding muscles and bones. Huo Yuhao had no time to react and could only endure the pain coming from the depths of his soul. The fusion went very quickly and Huo Yuhao was about to breathe a sigh of relief. But just when the fusion was about to end, something strange happened! Huo Yuhao only felt a cool feeling surging in his pupils. This cool feeling moved along his temples and merged with the other two forces from the wound on his forehead without any warning. “Huh?!” Yi Lao’s doubtful voice came to Huo Yuhao’s ears. The three forces converged together without warning, as if thunder in the sky ignited fire in the earth. Huo Yuhao’s consciousness suddenly darkened! He suddenly felt that he could not feel anything, and only knew that his consciousness was sinking into endless darkness. After a long time, when Huo Yuhao was almost numb from this torment, a ray of light finally shone into his chaotic consciousness. His spirit gradually recovered and he slowly opened his eyes. He actually saw himself sitting cross-legged quietly on the bed, his back straight, looking very calm. On his forehead, there appeared a vertical eye that was flashing red light amidst the green light. This eye cannot be fully opened and the eyeball cannot be seen. Just as he focused his attention on this third eye, with a "whoosh", his entire consciousness quickly returned. As soon as his consciousness returned to his body, he immediately discovered that his sea of spirituality had undergone earth-shaking changes. The original spiritual sea, although very vast, was empty and void. When Huo Yuhao entered the current sea of spirit, the first thing he saw was a turquoise lake, full of vitality, nourishing the entire sea of spirit. Moreover, the size of the entire spiritual space has increased three times compared to before, and it is more stable. Yi Lao's voice floated down from the "sky" and explained to the three of them the accident that had just occurred when they were fusing the gold of living beings. "Yuhao, I originally just wanted to merge the power of this carving knife with my power to turn it into your new power, but for some reason, at the critical moment of the fusion, your martial spirit actually stimulated a potential power to merge in." "This situation is so strange, I don't know what's going on." "So, I don't know what your third eye is capable of, and it seems that it hasn't grown yet. You have to figure out how to open it yourself."
"The second is that your spiritual sea has now merged with the gold of living beings, so your spiritual power will grow even faster in the future." "But this is not a good thing, Yuhao. Your mental power is mixed with something else. Your mental power is growing too fast, which is harmful to you." Huo Yuhao was startled. He realized that what Mr. Yi was talking about might be that when he escaped from Shrek Academy, he had forcibly merged the spiritual energy of those fear dragons. He had to do it because of the circumstances at the time. But it left behind disaster. Before Moro died, he also left behind some black mental power. These are all unstable factors. "Originally, with my ability, I could help you purify them, but I'm about to fall into a deep sleep, and I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up in a short time." "So, I hope that after you have dealt with the things around you, you can meditate in seclusion for a while, experience the wonders that the Gold of Life brings you, truly integrate this life force, and then purify your own spiritual power. This way, your future cultivation will be smoother." "That's all I can say. You've grown a lot since I was away from you. Just continue on your path, Yuhao." As the sound in his ears became weaker, Alex's breath also disappeared. Huo Yuhao knew that Old Yi had fallen into a deep sleep again. The next moment, after a moment of trance, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and found himself back in bed. He touched his forehead, but it was smooth and the newly grown eye seemed to be hidden. Huo Yuhao gave a bitter smile. He was really getting closer and closer to Kaguya Otsutsuki. Now he even had a third eye. When his eyes grew fully grown in the future, would he be able to release infinite Tsukuyomi? He stood up and felt the changes in his body slightly, and suddenly found that his body seemed to have sublimated to another level. He was delighted in his heart, as he had gained enormous benefits this time. I now have a clear plan in mind for the road ahead. Although the Gold of Life did not completely revive Yi Lao, it was the key to nourishing his remaining soul and even allowing him to recover. When this competition is over and his soul power reaches level 40, it might be time to go to the Star Dou Great Forest. Not only to obtain his own soul ring, but also to find the immortal herb - the ghost flower - that can completely replenish Yi Lao's soul power. By then, Yi Lao will be able to wake up completely, and his future life will be much smoother. After all, Yi Lao is a powerful being who can create half a plane, and he can play too many roles on Douluo Continent. "Fang Yuan, how are you?" Outside the room, Ma Lao's voice was heard. When Huo Yuhao looked at the time, he was surprised to find that he had just finished fusing the Soul Gold from the time he entered the room. Two full hours have passed. Although he had been activating the simulated soul skill, no matter how slow-witted Mr. Ma outside the room was, he should have noticed something was wrong by now. Who would just sit there and do nothing but play with a carving knife for two hours? It's like being possessed by an evil spirit.
Huo Yuhao immediately opened the door and walked out. At this time, Mr. Ma who was outside the room was about to force his way into Huo Yuhao's room, but he saw Huo Yuhao walking out unharmed. After seeing with their own eyes that Huo Yuhao’s condition seemed to be no different from two hours ago, the three people outside the door couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time. Ma Lao said angrily: "You kid, you said you would come out soon, why did you stay in the room for so long? I thought something happened to you." Huo Yuhao felt a little embarrassed, mainly because he didn't know it would take so long this time. He smiled faintly, took the purified Soul-Devouring Knife in his hand, and showed it in front of the three people. Meng Hongchen stepped forward quickly, looked at the carving knife in Huo Yuhao's hand, which had been completely transformed, and asked in surprise: "Fang Yuan, have you really lifted the curse on this carving knife?" "How on earth did you do that?" Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows and nodded with certainty. Facing the incredulous looks from the three people, he had no choice but to make up a lie: “Hehe, actually, when I first saw this carving knife, I could feel the spiritual fluctuations in it. Only our spiritual masters can notice this kind of spiritual fluctuations. The spiritual fluctuations are not very strong, and it seems more like something is sealed.” "Just now, I used my spiritual power to detect, and I really found that there is a sealing array on this carving knife, which sealed the evil thoughts of the evil soul master back then, so it has a fierce aura. I just used my spiritual power to remove the weak seal, and the carving knife immediately returned to normal. Now it is definitely no longer a threat. If you don't believe me, you can all try it." Hearing this, Xiao Hongchen snatched the carving knife from Huo Yuhao's hand and took out a piece of dark metal from his storage soul guide ring. "Just let me try." Xiao Hongchen injected his soul power into the carving knife without hesitation and began to carve on the dark metal. As a result, the moment the carving knife touched the metal, it shattered into pieces! "How can it be!" Xiao Hongchen widened his eyes in disbelief. What he held in his hand was actually a very special kind of metal, called ink steel. The biggest feature of this metal is its hardness! Usually when building large fortifications, as long as this metal is used in key parts, it will be as stable as a rock. Normally, when Xiao Hongchen cuts the ink steel, he has to use his carving knife and exert extremely strong soul power. However, Huo Yuhao didn't have to spend much effort to use the purified Soul-Devouring Carving Knife. In his feeling, the ink steel was as thin as a piece of thin paper. Isn't such a sharp carving knife the nemesis of all soul guides and rare metals? Huo Yuhao was not surprised at all, even though the huge life force in the carving knife had already merged with himself. But the surviving carving knife is still made of gold of living things. As a carving knife, its sharpness is enough to rank among the top 30 carving knives in the list. Ma Lao said in amazement, "One hundred thousand gold soul coins, and you picked up a carving knife that is ranked in the top 30? This deal is really a big profit." Xiao Hongchen's eyes lit up and he held the carving knife in his arms, unable to let it go.
"Ahem, Fang Yuan, we are all brothers. You are only a level three soul master, and I am already a level five soul master. How about we switch? Let me use your carving knife. Mine is a ranking carving knife, ranked in the 50s." Xiao Hongchen coughed lightly and said. As soon as he finished speaking, he was violently slapped by Meng Hongchen who was standing beside him. Meng Hongchen clenched his fists: "That's enough. Fang Yuan picked up a bargain, why should he give it to you? With your half-baked soul guide level, if grandpa didn't use the resources to help you improve it, can you be a level 5 soul guide? To be honest, you are not as good as me!" Xiao Hongchen covered his head and said aggrievedly: "Meng, I am your brother after all, can you please give me some respect! They say that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, but you are so different, you haven't even married yet, but you are still turning your elbow outward!" "You!" Meng Hongchen blushed and was about to take action. Xiao Hongchen had already seen that the situation was not good, so he hid behind Huo Yuhao and returned the carving knife to him. "Fang Yuan, since the curse on this knife has been lifted, it's not appropriate to call it the Soul Devouring Knife. You can give it another name." Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded. "Then let's call it the Blade of the Living Guardian." (End of this chapter)
