185 Leaving the Tomb (1/2)

The days ticked by one after another as Bai Tianyi absorbed the soul energy of the dead Moon Prince.

When he was done, the soul energy would recover some of Bai Tianyi's strength.

Soul energy and spiritual energy were like the heaven-and-earth essence and Qi.

Soul energy was the raw form, while spiritual energy was the refined version.

This was a process that took time. Although Bai Tianyi could absorb quite a lot of soul energy at once, he still had to slowly refine it afterwards.

While Bai Tianyi did this, Xue Wei waited patiently by his side like a guardian.

Although Bai Tianyi was strong, he was currently fully focused on digesting the soul energy and was defenseless.

Xue Wei was not worried about Wang Xiaoyun and Hei Gou. The grave had been left alone for a long time. For someone to suddenly come across it would be very unlikely as they had closed it after themselves. But that did not mean he did not miss them.

Now that he had finally found Wang Xiaoyun again, just being by her side was enough to make him feel happy.

He also missed Hei Gou. The two of them had traveled together for a long time. Although he was narcissistic and outspoken, he lifted the mood and made things feel much more easy and fun.

He had already spent months inside the tomb to clear the trials. He had also been in the heart of the tomb for an extended period of time, and now he was waiting for Bai Tianyi to finish absorbing the soul energy before he could reunite with the others.

Bai Tianyi was refining the energy as fast as he could. The more energy, the stronger he would become. And he, who had once been an expert who stood at the very apex, was eager to regain his former strength and status.

”I wonder why Tianyi hasn't shared any of his techniques with us,” Xue Wei suddenly muttered when he looked at the legacy left behind by the Moon Prince.

The Moon Prince was not as strong as Bai Tianyi had been at his peak, so it was obvious that the latter should have much stronger abilities to share with them.

Xue Wei was excited at the thought of this. He was almost tempted to forcibly wake up Bai Tianyi so he could ask him. As if he had sensed Xue Wei's excitement, Bai Tianyi opened his eyes.

”Done?” Xue Wei asked curiously. He was curious to see how much Bai Tianyi's strength had risen, but to his disappointment, the sword spirit seemed more or less the same as before.

”I have stored all of the Moon Prince's soul energy within myself,” Bai Tianyi said, his face twitching. He could guess what Xue Wei was thinking, and he wanted to whack him on the head. Raising his strength took time!

”It takes time for me to refine it all. Just like you constantly refine the heaven-and-earth essence, it is the same for me with soul energy. I am quite sure that the amount I've acquired this time alone will be enough to make me a Heavenly Warrior ranked expert.”

”That's not bad from one single dead guy,” Xue Wei said with astonishment. Bai Tianyi sighed. ”He used to have so much more soul energy,” he said with a little disappointment, ”but he has been using it as a source of power for the age-restricting formation for so long that more than ninety percent of his soul energy has already been used up.”

”If he had not done this, then I would have been able to go all the way to the Heavenly Knight rank.”

Xue Wei was shocked when he heard this. ”So if we find a few graves like these, we can upgrade you extremely fast, right?” he asked breathlessly. Bai Tianyi shot him a disdainful glance.

”Why are you so stupid?” he retorted with spite. ”Graves like these are hard to come across; there are only a handful of supreme experts in the entire world, and they are spread across the many continents.”

”Do you think that it is easy to encounter the tombs of deceased supreme experts?”

”The only reason we got this one was because of the formations. It was simply impossible for it to be found by someone with no knowledge of formations. The others have different tests, but most of them are about pure strength, and they have long since been unearthed.”

Xue Wei suddenly understood what Bai Tianyi meant. It was true that they had come across a legacy and a grave this time, but they would not necessarily be this lucky in the future.

”I guess I was too short-sighted,” Xue Wei shook his head and sighed.

”What about you, then?” he asked after remembering his earlier train of thought.

”What about me?” Bai Tianyi frowned as he wondered what Xue Wei was talking about now.

”You were a supreme expert too. Do you not have a legacy you can pass on to me?”

”I do have some skills,” Bai Tianyi said after thinking for some time, but then he shook his head. ”However, they are all made for a higher level. The earliest I can teach you would be when you are an Earth Knight. At that point, you might be able to handle a few of my skills, but it will be hard.”

Xue Wei was at first slightly disappointed, but after thinking it through, he understood that it was not that terrible. It was only a matter of time before he would become an Earth Knight, as long as he did not die early.

”Well, be happy about what you have already,” Bai Tianyi said. Xue Wei snickered. ”It was a good result after all!”
