Chapter 1388: Netherspirits (1/2)

Vice Sectmaster Luo Wanxiang let out a cold laugh, with evil magical symbols that seemed to carry numerous secret Phantasm soul magics flowing across his brow like a peculiar river.

“Mo Heng! You’re not protected by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace anymore! Do you really think that you can still do whatever you want?”

The few huge spirit-form beings that had crossed the sea of evil spirits and vicious souls seemed to suddenly sense something.

In the next moment, an unusually strong soul connection came to form between them and Luo Wanxiang.

For some reason, Nie Tian only took a brief moment to observe and sense the evil magical symbols streaming across Luo Wanxiang’s brow, and he learned what soul magic he was using. “Soul Rhythm: Resonance.”

What he didn’t know was that the Book of Spirits Luo Wanxiang had obtained was a book of soul magics that a powerful Phantasm grand monarch had written after deriving enlightenment from the Nether River.

In fact, what he held wasn’t even the whole book, but only a part of it.

Similar evil magical symbols could be seen flowing quietly in the unfathomable pupils of the giant spirit-form beings, as they seemed to be trying to learn something or obtain some sort of knowledge.

It wasn’t very long before one of them mastered the humans’ common tongue through Luo Wanxiang’s secret soul magic.

The enormous being opened its mouth, and what came out was no longer howls that didn’t make sense to humans. Instead, it was perfect human language.

“Humans!”

As soon as it spoke, a hint of excitement appeared in Luo Wanxiang’s eyes, and he said, “Gentlemen, I derived enlightenment from the Book of Spirits. Through a sacrificial method, I was able to establish soul communication with a powerful expert of your race. He promised that as long as I could open the portal at the bottom of the Seven-star Blue Sea and come here through it, he would teach me the Netherspirits’ most powerful soul magic!”

“Is your name Luo Wanxiang?” The huge spirit-form being asked.

Luo Wanxiang nodded repeatedly.

Both Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi were flabbergasted, and couldn’t help turning to look at Mo Heng.

WHOOSH!

Luo Wanxiang, who had activated his dharma idol and been hiding within his Immortal grade divine tool, the All Manifestations Star Banner, suddenly flew away from Nie Tian, Mo Heng, and Pei Qiqi to the midst of the giant spirits.

“Spirit Pearl and Netherspirits...” Nie Tian muttered to himself, looking at Mo Heng. “Grand Elder, do those spirit-form beings belong to a race called the Netherspirits? What connection do they have with the Phantasms?”

“So Luo Wanxiang secretly practiced the Phantasms’ Book of Spirits! Dammit!” Mo Heng spat.

Pei Qiqi was also taken aback. “The Book of Spirits!”

Apparently, both Mo Heng and Pei Qiqi had heard about the Phantasms’ Book of Spirits.

However, it seemed that Nie Tian hadn’t.

With a deep frown, Pei Qiqi explained, “The Phantasms had a very brilliant grand monarch in their history. He named himself Grand Monarch Nether Spirit. It’s said that he was the one who created the Spirit Pearls and wrote the Book of Spirits by relying on the profound enlightenment he had derived from the Nether River. He was invincible in the prime of his life.

“Even the Phantasms’ current high chieftain, Grand Monarch Nether River, wouldn’t be able to match him in battle.

“However, towards the end of Grand Monarch Nether Spirit’s life, he seemed to enter deviation during cultivation and went insane. He even killed a large number of his clansmen. Eventually, he exploded and died in the Nether River as he sought its origin and the ultimate secrets of his bloodline.

“Of course, these are all legends. No one knows their authenticity.”

After a short pause, she continued.
