Chapter 239: Ancient Puppetry Ar (2/2)
There was more than one ancient language in existence. The ancient demonic beast clan and ancient human race used different forms of writing and just the ancient human race alone had many different forms, based on their own tribes’ uniqueness.
“The Linglong Tribe.” Out of the many books he had pulled from the shelves, Huang Xiaolong found similar ancient texts belonging to the Linglong Tribe in the yellowed pages of an old book. Comparing them to the text he saw on the sacrificial altar, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes shone with joy.
According to the old book, the Linglong Tribe was one of the ten biggest human race tribes.
“Golden Linglong Body?!” Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong was shocked as he read further down, for the book brought up the Golden Linglong Body. His eyes narrowed in concentration. His shock increased as the book stated that the Golden Linglong Body originated from the ancient Linglong Tribe’s sacred canon!
“Could the Linglong Treasure Pagoda have been refined by the ancient Linglong Tribe?!” A great wave rose in Huang Xiaolong’s heart, for the Linglong Treasure Pagoda’s heritage skill was none other than the Golden Linglong Body!
On top of that, the text patterns on the sacrificial altar on the third layer of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda matched with the ancient Linglong Tribe’s text. Without a doubt, the Linglong Treasure Pagoda was definitely connected to this ancient tribe.
Several hours later, Huang Xiaoling finally finished translating the text on the sacrificial altar in the third layer of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda.
Puppetry Art!
These words jumped out at Huang Xiaolong. The sacrificial altar actually recorded an ancient puppetry art.
The records stated that cultivating the Ancient Puppetry Art could continuously temper and strengthen one’s spiritual force and will. The stronger and more powerful one’s spiritual force and will, the higher the chances of them refining a high-grade puppet, which was more powerful.
Huang Xiaolong was ecstatic beyond words. This Ancient Puppetry Art could temper and strengthen one’s spiritual force and will!
Huang Xiaolong did not lack battle qi cultivation techniques or battle skills, the only thing he lacked was a way to temper his spiritual force!
It was already dark outside by the time Huang Xiaolong come out from the library. When he reached the entrance, the dozen or so student librarians were still there.
Seeing Huang Xiaolong emerging from within the library, all of them shivered for no reason, scrambling forward as they called out: “Young Noble Huang, you’re out!”
Huang Xiaolong’s eyes swept over them, he knew very well the reason these students were still waiting here for him. He openly said, “Very well, I don’t blame any of you for this matter, go home.”
Huang Xiaolong truly did not hold the matter in his heart. At the moment, he was in a very good mood due to the Ancient Puppetry Art.
Huang Xiaolong walked away after leaving such a sentence to the student librarians. Only then were Senior Brother Chen and the rest able to breathe out in relief as if they had just escaped the biggest calamity of their lives.
When Huang Xiaolong returned to the Southern Hill Estate, he immediately entered the third layer of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda. In a single leap, he landed on the sacrificial altar at the center. Going through the ancient text once again, committing it to his memory, he sat cross-legged and started practicing, following the method stated.
The essence of practicing this Ancient Puppetry Art was meditation, meditation, and meditation. Meditate to sense everything in the world, letting his spirit blend into the surrounding space, feeling every gust of wind, every drop of water, every spark of fire in the space around him, allowing them to temper his spiritual force.
The night passed quickly.
Although it was merely one night, Huang Xiaolong could feel a significant improvement in his spiritual force.
It seems I must practice at least three months before I can start controlling these puppets. Huang Xiaolong stared at the nineteen giant puppets.
He estimated that with his practice speed he needed three months to achieve minor completion in the Ancient Puppetry Art, entering the first level to brand a soul mark. Only after branding the puppets with a soul mark was it considered fully controlling them.
