Chapter 678 Not us, but me!
Not far from the arched door, Tang Huan and Feng Ming stood there motionlessly, their eyes filled with unconcealable astonishment. By the side, Xiao Budian and Xiao Ai had also opened their eyes wide.
Back then, after he urged the Conqueror Spear's artifact spirit to swallow the last of the Secluded Night Dark King's soul, then called out Feng Ming and Xiao Budian, Tang Huan had completely fainted.
The ”Spirit Dragon Sacred Marrow” within Xiao Budian's Golden Horn caused him to wake up very quickly. Adding to the fact that Tang Huan possessed the ”Sun Spirit Body”, the injuries on his flesh body were quickly healed. However, the serious injuries that Tang Huan had sustained from using the ”Soul Killing Storm” several times in a row were not easy to recover from.
After that, Tang Huan did not leave the Foggy Sea Island, but stayed here to cultivate and treat his injuries.
This place was indeed a holy land for cultivation. After a period of time, not only had the little white rabbit's strength greatly increased, Feng Ming had also finally stepped past the last half step and become a real Heavenly Domain-level Expert. Compared to the time he had fought against the Secluded Night Dark King, Tang Huan's strength had clearly risen as well. It was only because the recovery of his soul was rather slow that Tang Huan's soul could be considered to have completely recovered not long ago.
But just as Tang Huan was preparing to leave, a huge change suddenly occurred in the Foggy Sea Island.
The eighty-one stone pillars seemed to have turned into eighty-one whirlpools as they continuously sucked in the surrounding mist. It would probably only take a day or two before all the mist in Foggy Sea Island was devoured, revealing the true appearance of the island covered in mist for the next ten years.
The strangest thing was that after the fog disappeared, the skeletons on the island were all devoured by the fog, turning into lifeless skeletons.
And after absorbing all the mist and all the skeletons' souls, this small region seemed to have awakened from its slumber, and began to constantly emit terrifying undulations of aura in all directions.
Everything that had happened here completely verified Tang Huan's previous judgement.
The massive amount of fog in the Foggy Sea Island was indeed there to incite the ”Ling Xiao Arch”. As for the souls of the skeletons, they had become the artifact spirit of the ”Ling Xiao Arch” after they were absorbed and gathered together. Standing here, Tang Huan could clearly feel the boundless spirituality.
During his stay in the Foggy Sea Island, Tang Huan had searched through the memories of Gui Jia and the Secluded Night Dark King's souls and gained a deeper understanding of the island.
Before this, Tang Huan was very much in the future, but why have he not seen these skeletons from other places in this little world for countless of years? But now, Tang Huan knew that for all the skeletons here, this Foggy Sea Island was equivalent to a huge cage.
The clouds and mist on the island allowed the skeletons to possess great strength. However, once they left the island, the souls of the skeletons would leave the corpses and return to the Ling Xiao Arch.
The Ling Xiao Arch and the skeleton on the island were one.
Every ten years, the Ling Xiao Arch would absorb the fog and open up the Ling Xiao Ancient Road. After the skeleton and soul merge, they would become the spirit of the Ling Xiao Arch. In three months, when the Ling Xiao Arch closes his eyes, the fog that contained a boundless amount of power will be reborn, and the gathered souls will separate and return to their respective bodies. However, after this event, the souls of all the skeletons would become extremely weak.
In the following time, the mist in the island grew more and more numerous. The skeletons absorbed the energy within the mist, and their souls gradually grew stronger. After about ten years, the skeleton's soul had almost completely recovered. Then, along with the mist, it was once again absorbed. A new cycle began.
The Ling Xiao Arch continued to open and close, and the skeletons continued to experience this rebirth. After every rebirth, their previous memories would disappear.
