Chapter 254: Turtledoves Claw and Heavenly Magic Eyes (2/2)
”The material of your Flying Sword is not bad, but you didn't refine it correctly. If it was well-refined, the sword would become at least a Pure Yang Flying Sword!”
Junior Leopard's eyes brightened. ”Pure Yang Flying Sword?”
What did it mean?
Even in the medieval period when the sword practitioner dominated the world, there were only a few Pure Yang Flying Swords!
There were four levels of the Flying Sword: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang. Even the Heavenly Rank Flying Sword was merely a Mysterious Celestial Device. Pure Yang Flying Sword was used by the sword practitioner school to suppress fate. It might come by sheer luck but not by searching.
”You mean my Blue Sword has the potential to become a Pure Yang Flying Sword?!”
”What I am saying is that because of your incorrect refinement, you've ruined the material of this Flying Sword!” Green Lamp Spirit snapped.
”I think it's not bad!” Junior Leopard did not care and said, ”There are not so many Pure Yang Celestial Devices in this world, and it is great to own one or two of them.”
”Well, the world is changing so much now!” Green Lamp Spirit said. ”But don't you see it? Compared with before, the essence of the world is extremely sparse, but the power of the celestial device is not reduced. In such a world, practice is much more difficult than before. As the strength level is low, the function of the celestial device is greater.”
”It is true, but it's hard to find the treasure of heaven and earth!”
”In terms of a celestial device or fairy weapon, it is the excellence that matters, not quantity. It is enough to have a suitable one to defeat all others, which is particularly true in this world. Although it's hard to find treasures of heaven and earth, you already own Tusita Fire, don't you? You also have Demonic Fire of Primitive Dragon Chimera. As long as you find one or two proper materials and couple with my refining skill, it is a piece of cake to concoct a Pure Yang Celestial Device designed for you!''
Junior Leopard just smiled. It was completely similar to the IOUs that the cadres of the previous life had promised to the villagers. The glib talk was totally different from the truth.
”One or two suitable materials? Where to find those treasures of heaven and earth to refine Pure Yang Weapon?”
”However, it's not good for you to be in my body all the time, just come out!” Junior Leopard came up with a thought and changed the topic. This guy used some unknown method to plunge the green lamp into his Dantian, and his Original Spirit can freely move into his mind, which made him very annoyed.
As a result, there was no secret in front of the Green Lamp Spirit.
This was not important. What mattered was that, if one day, he came across a suitable beauty and married her, when he wanted to have sex, wouldn't Green Lamp Spirit capture every move of him? Junior Leopard certainly did not have the desire to perform that kind of affair in front of others.
”Come out? Hey, I would like to be out, but the Mysterious Fire of Primitive Dragon Chimera in your Dantian is a great help for Tusita Fire. It can greatly nourish Tusita Fire so I think it's quite good to stay here! ”
”You—!” Junior Leopard's anger immediately burst out. ”Good gracious, this guy really regarded the Dantian as his own home and cannot be driven away.”
”What's up, buddy? Don't make a fuss. Bad temper is not good for health, especially for practitioners like us who tend to arouse demons once we get furious. I think you'd better suppress your anger!”
”I don't have the habit of suppressing anger!” Junior Leopard sneered. He pressed the sword light and landed on the ground.
”I don't believe I cannot get you out!” Junior Leopard sneered. After some searching, he found a small cave in a stretch of deserted and secluded hills and slipped into it.
”Kid, this is not a good place for practice. It is fraught with Yin Qi. I think you're practicing—, eh, you—!”
Before finishing the words, Green Lamp Spirit began to scream.
After hiding in the cave, Junior Leopard began to operate Fiery Eyes, which was an extremely wonderful bloodline. He did not yet fully understood the mystery of this bloodline, but he knew that his current Fiery Eyes had the power of capturing spirits. Green Lamp Spirit in the form of Original Spirit was also a kind of spirit. Fiery Eyes should be effective on him.
Sure enough, once the Fiery Eyes was on, Green Lamp Spirit, which he was not able to see before in any case, was now in his sight.
It was a green fox, like a cloud of smoke and fog, curling up on the wick of the green lamp, which was pretty much the body of the fox then.
”Hum, fu*king you, just get out!” With a red light flashing in the eyes, Junior Leopard grabbed towards his own Dantian with a hollow pawn.
With a bolt of blue light flashing, the green lamp in his Dantian and Tusita Fire were pulled out. They were firmly gripped in his hand, but the yellow fire which burned Luo Haiyun's palm into ashes in the underground palace did not appear.
When he captured the green lamp out of thin air, the red light in Junior Leopard's eyes vanished. In his hands, the red strength of nine-finger size entangled the green lamp firmly.
Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds, Turtledove's Claw!
The so-called Turtledove was a famous nine-headed demon bird in antiquity times, which fed on Yin Qi and specialized in quelling spirits and sucking souls. Turtledove's Claw also needed the spirit of living creatures to refine before its power reached the Advanced Level. Once the refining was completed, at any random attempt, you could directly grasp the spirit of living creature out of the body. Though extremely insidious, Turtledove's Claw was way too sinister and vicious. Junior Leopard did not practice it often, but his skill was more than enough to suppress the spirit. It's much better to exercise this Turtledove's Claw than always resorting to Fiery Eyes.
Just in the past fleeting second, he turned on Fiery Eyes to absorb the spirit, which in turn, imposed a great burden on his body. The spirit of the green lamp was unlike that of insignificant animals, which was not so easy to be sucked out. It did cost a lot of effort. Fortunately, it occurred to him that he still had Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds to spare.
”How did you make it? You only have the cultivation of Level Seven. How could you have such a great power to take me out of the wick?”
Actually, with this move, Junior Leopard not only took the green lamp out of his Dantian but also drove Original Spirit out from the wick of the green lamp. The spirit was sealed in his Turtledove's Claw and could not move a step.
”Well, the essence of the world is very weak in this world, and my cultivation is very shallow, but there is surely a way to keep you within bounds!”
”No, no, my Original Spirit has been combined with the wick, I will not be ingested from the lamp unless by some unconventional means. Even Small Thunder Temple and Heavenly Dragon Zen Song had failed to do so. This must not be an ordinary means!”
”Aren't you a Great Ancient Demon? You are omnipotent and knowledgeable. How can't you figure out the method I used?”
Junior Leopard put on a mockery smile. These days, Green Lamp Spirit always boasted himself as omnipotent Great Ancient Demon, but he was so secretive of his origins that he refused to reveal his real name. Junior Leopard deeply detested this gesture of pretending to be sophisticated and mysterious, and he always felt that Green Lamp Spirit was a vain and boastful guy who probably had no impressive skills. Now that he had easily grabbed him out from his own Dantian and restrained him with Turtledove's Claw, it only made more sense for him to look down upon this spirit.
”There is a problem here. There is a big problem!” the green lamp Original Spirit started yelling. ”This green lamp is a Pure Yang Celestial Device. My Original Spirit has been integrated with it for hundreds of thousands of years. Even those who have great Divine Sense cannot easily separate my Original Spirit from this green lamp, let alone those shallow-cultivated guys like you!” Green Lamp Spirit roared, ”The method you adopted in constraining my Original Spirit has revealed a breath of Turtledove. But if I was in the lamp, even if a real Turtledove came, he could do nothing about me. Damn it! The means to separate me from the green lamp are fewer than the number of your fingers. How could you have one?”
”Really so difficult?!” Junior Leopard was struck by a thought. Though a bit exhausting, that process went very smooth during which he did not find much difficulty at all!
At this time, Green Lamp Spirit started talking again, ”You only have the cultivation of Level Seven. Even if you understand those Divine Sense means, you will not be able to use it at all. Should you possess the Heavenly Magic Eye?!”
At this point, he seemed to think of something and cried out, ”Impossible! You are an ordinary man. How can you own the Heavenly Magic Eye that only congenital gods have?”
”Heavenly Magic Eye? I don't get it and never heard of it before. But you've got one thing right, my eyes are indeed different from others!”
”Not Heavenly Magic Eye? Impossible! Only Heavenly Magic Eye has such ability, is it—!” All of a sudden, something important seemed to cross his mind. ”Boy, let me see what's special about your eyes!”
”Are you kidding me? Why should I show you the special features of my eyes? Right now, you are in my hands!” Junior Leopard sneered.
”Ha ha ha ha, indeed, you ingested me out of the green lamp. It's really something. But what else can you do with me except barely imprisoning me with the strength similar to that of Turtledove? Based on your present strength, the only way to destroy my Original Spirit is to use the power you just employed when taking me out of the green lamp, that is to say, your eyes! ” The green lamp Original Spirit burst into presumptuous laughter as though he had figured it all out.
”Well, your words do make sense. I really have no way to destroy your Original Spirit!” Junior Leopard said. After all, Original Spirit was different from spirit or soul.
If you have to use a familiar thing to describe Original Spirit, then, that must be a ghost.
Original Spirit was a ghost. However, unlike a ghost that would dissipate, Original Spirit was an independent life, an existential form free of a body, which would not dissipate as quickly as the ghost would nor would it dissipate by a clap of thunder or a blow of wind like an ordinary ghost because Original Spirit was a stable form of life.
Though Original Spirit was stable compared with a ghost, it would be damaged like a human body when it came under certain attacks. Sometimes it was even weaker than an ordinary man's body.
However, an Original Spirit like this Green Lamp Spirit had been integrated with Pure Yang Celestial Device for hundreds of thousands of years. Although he was forced out by the power of Junior Leopard's Fiery Eyes, it was not easy to destroy him as he had already been contaminated with the strength of Pure Yang Celestial Device. Even with his Fiery Eyes, Junior Leopard was merely confident to ingest him out from the green lamp. As to destroy this spirit, he believed that at least for the moment, his Fiery Eyes could not manage that.
Hearing that Junior Leopard could not break him apart, the green lamp Original Spirit became happy again.
”However, I can imprison you forever, just as you used to be in the underground palace of Small Thunder Temple where you can never see the sunlight!” Junior Leopard snapped, with a red light flashing fiercely in his eyes.
”Blood of Blood Wheel? No. Blackwater Genuine Eyes? Nor is it. Heavenly Magic Eye? How could this happen, why?!” Green Lamp Spirit finally could not help but scream at the sight of the red light in Junior Leopard's eyes. ”I see! I see! Damn it! Those crazy necromancers made it! They made it! They have successfully stolen the power of congenital gods! (To be continued)
