Chapter Four Hundred and Seventy Seven – Danger
Soul Setting Divine Light!
The name would occasionally be referenced in some ancient records. It was said that it was made by the heroes of the Sky Pool Tribe, fantastical in its effects, enormously famed, and was ranked as one of the nine Great Divine Lights.
Pu Yao had never seen the Soul Setting Divine Light and did not know what it looked like or what abilities it had. It wasn’t just the Soul Setting Divine Light, he had never seen any of the other divine lights before. The divine lights mostly appeared in the early stages of the ancient era, and then later disappeared from the records.
No one knew why the divine lights had gradually disappeared but this was not a strange occurrence. Throughout history it was the nine Divine Lights the only thing to be lost to time? Many secret methods and wondrous techniques had disappeared over the millennia, each were forever lost in the vast rivers of history.
“Sky Pool Tribe? What are you to Sky Pool Tribe?” Pu Yao stared at Wei.
For the first time today, Wei had a shocked expression. “As expected from the Encyclopedia of Yao Arts, you even know of my Sky Pool Tribe.” He then nodded. “You are right, I am from the Sky Pool Tribe.”
The amount of information Pu Yao had about the Sky Pool Tribe was pitifully little but within that pitiful amount, it was clear that Sky Pool Tribe had been a tribe with powerful people and had dominated for a time.
The two sank into silence, Pu Yao did not know what to say. His understanding of the Sky Pool Tribe was limited to this, and there was no meaning to knowing that Wei came from the Sky Pool Tribe. Wei seemed to be thinking of something and had an reminiscent expression on his face.
No matter how famed or powerful the tribe was, it could not stand against the ruthless advance of time. Just like those secret methods and techniques, it also had disappeared in the long river of history.

All kinds of colored dazzling light continuously changed and shifted in front of Zuo Mo, coming near and then jumping far away like swimming fish.
A bright green light swam in front of Zuo Mo. Reflexively, Zuo Mo reached out with a hand.
When the green light came into contact with Zuo Mo’s hand, a slender flow burrowed into his mind. This slender flow contained great amounts of information that was hard to comprehend, profound and unpredictable. What was most wondrous was that thread of vitality within it!
This thread of vitality was weak, but the presence was powerful and ancient.
That wasn’t right!
There seemed to be a voice in his mind. As though he was possessed, Zuo Mo relaxed his hand and that bright green light disappeared within the ocean of light like a fish.
Zuo Mo shook his head and wanted to clear his mind. This world of light was like a fantasy realm that he did not know what to do with.
Fortunately, he remembered everything that Wei had told him previously.
Soul Setting Divine Light!
He needed to find Soul Setting Divine Light. Was the Soul Setting Divine Light hidden among these lights?
Zuo Mo thought as he searched the lights. He saw a deep red light, and when his mind moved, that deep red light flew towards him. Zuo Mo reached out and touched the red light.
A burning and ferocious energy quickly spread up his arm. Zuo Mo felt as though his body was burning.
For some unknown reason, the feeling of wrongness increased. He released his hand and the red light instantly swam away.
Zuo Mo gradually started to understand. If he thought of any light in his mind, that light would fly into his hand. What he needed to do was to find the Soul Setting Divine Light among these numerous lights.
Zuo Mo’s brow creased.
There were more than billions of lights in here. If he was to try them one by one, then it would be like finding a grain of sand in the ocean.
There had to be a way … …
Zuo Mo sank into thought. He did not notice the lights had changed.

“You feel he can comprehend Soul Setting Divine Light?” Pu Yao looked at Wei and asked, “Even if there is the imprint, the difficulty would not be low. You have such confidence in him?”
Wei shook his head and said, “I do not have confidence that he will succeed.”
He then said, “The Soul Setting Divine Light is extremely hard to cultivate, and even within the tribe in the past, the number of those who had successfully learned it could be counted on the fingers. The decline of the Sky Pool Tribe was due to the loss of the Soul Setting Divine Light. None of the nine Great Divine Lights are easy to learn. The divine lights have stringent requirements even though we do not know what requirements there are.”
“Then why do give him the imprint?” Pu Yao asked.
Wei said calmly, “In the past, its purposewas to leave behind a seed for the tribe. The Sky Pool Tribe has long been gone, and I am just the gravestone armor now. There is no meaning in keeping it. So why can’t I give it to him?”
Pu Yao didn’t know what to day.
“This isn’t our world now,” Wei smiled, his voice deep and calm, “the world belongs to him now.”
“I smell danger from this,” Pu Yao suddenly said.
Wei smiled slightly, “Of course, how can there not be any risk in learning such an ultimate skill?”

Just as Zuo Mo’s brow was creased as he thought about what to do, the light in the surroundings suddenly moved.
Unguarded, Zuo Mo wailed. A red light swept his body. He felt as though he was being boiled in a dan cauldron, the fire burning every inch of muscle, the heart-boring pain came like a tide like a tide,swallowing him.
How long has it been since he felt pain like this?
