Chapter 124: What Happened? (1/2)
”So, you need my life-essence in-order to get a fragment of a key in-order to get the legacy. Pfff. Why would I want to do that?”
After Zhang Xiu Ying's question, the Thorne-Viper began to hiss dangerously making her took a step back. This made Zhang Wei to calm it down with a gentle wave of his hand. He tried to maintain an uneasy smile as he continued looking at the other demigod.
”Is there something you want to know about the events of your past, Asura?”
”What do you mean?”
Zhang Xiu Ying replied with furrowed brows. The question really caught her off-guard as her brain processed different informations. Events of her past? Was that a joke?
”We were five nascent soul demigods that arrived here, inside this very hall. It was a long journey for us to get here. Long dangerous journey but we made it. When we reached here, we met quite a number of others here trying to decipher and attempt the infernal arrays. We waited and we observed. By the time hey figured it out, many had died. But that was the beginning. The hardest part was getting back once you get inside the blackholes of the images.”
He shook his head as he let out a soft sound.
”After many years had passed, the very last ones of us, finally figured it out. The solution? There must be one of us here, on the outside, that must make a life-essence connection with the one going in. The connection must be maintained while the other is still inside the image, if not, the lock would come into effect. And there's no known way of beating the lock from the inside when its locked. But, you see Asura, there's a good in all these madness. Each of these images, can reveal a secret of the past. And the only image remaining, is that of the Death-Necron. Thus, I ask you, is there any death or sorrow of the past you wish to know?”
”Are you truthfully serious?”
”I am, Asura. So, can that and the vanishing copy of the legacy, be enough bargain to gain your interest?”
”Can you make this bargain of yours under eternal oath?
”That I can do, Asura. By the way, Call me Chang Wei.”
”Zhang Xiu Ying.”
”Alright Zhang Xiu Ying. Let's begin with the oath.”
After the eternal oath was made, Reena agreed to help with the life-essence connection. But she couldn't help but wondered how this demigod had managed with the images until only one was remaining.
”Insanity. You stayed here, for that long, because of a legacy? Total insanity.”
”You know little of the martial world, Asura. What stage of martial arts are you even on? Yinhu? I'm already knocking on the doors of Jinlong. With my eyes closed, I can still kill you. Not that I need the sight to do that anyway. But, in the world of true martial arts, I mean nothing without a graded martial arts technique. And what's better than a supreme technique. You want to be at the top, where no one bothers you? You have to be the best.”
Chang Wei floated to the mid air before landing gently in front of Zhang Xiu Ying.
”I know that not many could boast of it, but as you advance in your arts, the aim is to form a mythical art. No better mythical art than a combination of a supreme martial arts and a total-grade mystical arts. An artist will be a supreme divine.”
”How many cultivators have you ever seen that have combined their martial arts and mystical arts together to form one mythical art? Even if they are low grade arts?”
Asked Zhang Xiu Ying with a raised brow.
”Good question, though, I won't answer that one. But the point is, you have a chane to form an excellent mythical art with a legacy like this. And for someone like me, it's the top of martial arts or nothing at all. Enough with the talk, Zhang Xiu Ying.”
