Chapter 51

A Handsome Old Man said, "The flame within the artifact … is an extremely rare flame that can break through all soul seals. Although its power is not as strong as the purple flame, its special burning ability is something that the flame does not possess."

The so called soul seal was a seal left behind by the owner of the artifact. After the artifact had been refined by the owner, it would be very difficult for others to use it. Even if they could barely use it, they wouldn't be able to use it as freely as the owner. Therefore, the original seal had to be broken. There were many ways to break a seal, but it was very difficult to remove it completely. Now, this sacrificial artifact had such a function, it could cleanly and neatly break the seal.

Guo Shier couldn't help but sigh, "This time, there are quite a few surprises, haha."

A Handsome Old Man said, "Your good luck is equal to my good luck. With this pearl, my following work will be much easier. Let me use this artifact first, you won't be able to use it for now anyways."

Guo Shier nodded his head in agreement. A Handsome Old Man using it would have the same effect as him using it. A Handsome Old Man said, "I'll take a look at the artifact, I don't know if there are any restrictions." After a while, A Handsome Old Man happily said, "Not bad, not bad, this artifact's seal has been removed by its owner, it can be used directly."

A Handsome Old Man immersed himself in Gumelion and began to busy himself.

Guo Shier walked out of his hiding place and flew outside. Quickly finding another altar, he asked, "A Handsome Old Man, do you want to continue absorbing souls?"

A Handsome Old Man said, "Yes, my soul is still not enough. After your soul has been adjusted, I can absorb them again." If it wasn't for Guo Shier's soul scripture, then he would have needed a period of time to digest and absorb the souls. But after Guo Shier's soul scripture, he could absorb souls again.

Guo Shier could also absorb souls again. He had already reached the peak of Peak Great Saint Master, and after the soul scripture's purification, his soul had become even more condensed. At the same time, the number of souls had decreased. If he relied on himself to slowly accumulate souls, it would take at least ten years. But now, with Gumelion's special ability, he could quickly replenish the souls inside the altar.

He placed one hand on the top of the altar, his heart was filled with anticipation. This altar was also intact. He hoped that he could find another existence like the altar's head. Not only could he obtain a large amount of souls, he could also obtain one or two artifacts.

Gumelion began to revolve, and countless fine threads pierced into the altar.

This time, no head popped out of the sacrificial altar. The pure soul was sucked into the Ancient Ink Lotus, and a portion slowly flowed into his own soul.

Very quickly, his soul felt as if it was being full. Guo Shier said, "Well, you don't have to give me the handsome old man anymore. You can absorb the rest."

The handsome old man lamented, "You're really weak. You can't even handle this bit of soul. Alright, give me the rest."

The souls in the altar were quickly sucked dry. The handsome old man said, "Send out another soul fluctuation. Let me digest it."

"Let's do the soul scripture again," A Handsome Old Man said. "Let me digest it a bit." This time, he only planned to read the scripture a few times, as long as it could eliminate the feeling of his soul being full.

Half an hour later, Guo Shier finished the soul scripture. Although A Handsome Old Man still wanted to continue, he knew that this was not a good place to cultivate, so he didn't make any more requests. "Let's search again. I've already recovered a part of my memory, unfortunately, there is still a part … I still can't find it."

"Take your time," Guo Shier consoled him. "As long as you are alive, there is hope."

A Handsome Old Man sighed and said, "Am I alive? I should be half dead … "His sigh was transmitted through the soul scripture, which made Guo Shier feel a bit funny. He said, "A Handsome Old Man, look for more fragments of the sacrificial artifact. It's probably not easy to find a complete sacrificial artifact."

A Handsome Old Man said, "Alright, release Gumelion, I'll help you find it!"

Gumelion rotated on top of Guo Shier's head. A Handsome Old Man came out and continued to search with the sacrificial artifact. This thing was indeed very useful. In just a moment, he found a fragment of the sacrificial artifact. Moreover, it was one that Xian Rudai and the others had missed after searching for it. Guo Shier praised, "This thing is even more useful than a radar."

A Handsome Old Man asked curiously, "What is a radar? Is it also a sacrificial artifact? "

Guo Shier said, "Uh, no, it's also a kind of searching method, hehe." It was very difficult for him to explain this thing from his previous life. He got up and flew over, quickly digging out a fragment of the sacrificial artifact. He couldn't tell what it was. The fragment was as big as a washbasin, and it was full of cracks. It had a light yellow color and was covered with reddish-brown ancient runes.

A Handsome Old Man said, "Continue, you go over there, they probably haven't searched that place yet." He took the fragment and didn't look at it carefully before putting it into Gumelion.

Guo Shier nodded and flew towards the direction pointed by A Handsome Old Man. He now knew that even the fragments of the sacrificial artifact were extremely precious. These fragments could be decomposed into many rare materials. If he had to find them himself, it would be even more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.

The direction pointed by A Handsome Old Man was to the west of Gusirius's territory. There were many damaged sacrificial altars here, and almost none of them were intact. More than half of them were completely destroyed, and there wasn't even a trace of soul in them. It was easy to imagine how fierce the battle here was.

Since Xian Rudai and the others didn't have a method like A Handsome Old Man, they could only slowly fly close to the ground, relying on their own soul to search. Not only was their speed extremely slow, but they also missed some fragments of the sacrificial artifact. Of course, they couldn't compare to A Handsome Old Man's radar-like search.

Standing on a collapsed sacrificial altar, A Handsome Old Man used the sacrificial artifact to search again.

Guo Shier asked, "Are there any fragments?"

After a while, A Handsome Old Man said, "Yes …" Then he sighed and said, "A lot! A lot … "He didn't seem excited at all.

Guo Shier, on the other hand, was very excited, "A lot? That's great, A Handsome Old Man, you give me some directions, I'll collect them. "

A Handsome Old Man said dispiritedly, "There are a total of twenty-one large fragments of the sacrificial artifact, and more than seventy small fragments … I wonder how many people died here."

Guo Shier couldn't help but be stunned, there were actually so many fragments of the sacrificial artifact.

A Handsome Old Man said, "Even now, I still can't remember … why such a large-scale battle took place. Sigh, I can't remember … even though I got so many souls, I still can't remember …" He seemed a little depressed.

Guo Shier comforted him, "Don't worry, whether you can remember or not, collect them first."

A Handsome Old Man was depressed for a while, then he pulled himself together and said, "I'll give you directions, you dig, there are many buried underground, collect the ones on the ground first."

Guo Shier agreed, and happily began to collect the sacrificial artifact on the ground.

After half a day, Guo Shier finally collected all the fragments of the sacrificial artifact. Among them, there were three relatively complete sacrificial artifacts, the other fragments were of different sizes, and there were all kinds of sacrificial artifacts of different attributes, making A Handsome Old Man very emotional.

Guo Shier said, "A Handsome Old Man, most of the altars here are damaged, the remaining altars are also not complete, do you want to continue to absorb the souls inside?"

A Handsome Old Man said, "Absorb as much as you can, once we leave this place … there won't be so many altars left."

Guo Shier absorbed the altars one by one, he found that the remaining souls were very few, almost all of the souls inside these altars had already dissipated. He said, "No wonder this place is so strange, there are so many souls of top-level professionals dissipating in this Secret Realm, I guess there will be many rules of the Secret Realm."

A Handsome Old Man said, "Of course, this Secret Realm can instinctively suppress Professionals with altars."

Guo Shier now understood why there were almost no Professionals with altars coming here, it might have a lot to do with this. But he didn't understand, experts with altars, even if they were suppressed by the rules of the Secret Realm, their strength would still be stronger than Great Saint Masters, if they came here, the harvest would definitely not be small.

After thinking for a long time, Guo Shier didn't think too much about it, he said, "It's best if they don't come here, it'll be good for us."

A Handsome Old Man laughed, "Outside of this Secret Realm, there should be Super Professionals standing guard, they can obtain the majority of the things obtained from the Secret Realm."

Guo Shier asked curiously, "Why?"

A Handsome Old Man said, "It's very simple, if you don't have Gumelion and me, and only have the sacrificial artifact fragments, what use would they have? They would definitely be used to exchange for items! Haha, sometimes, there are a lot of things that don't need Super Professionals to do, they just need to use a few tricks. "

Guo Shier suddenly understood. Great Saint Masters couldn't break down the sacrificial artifact, they could only use the fragments to trade with those with altars. Those people wouldn't even need to come here, searching by themselves would not only be troublesome, but it would also be dangerous. He said, "That is indeed the case, it would be better to wait outside than to come in."

A Handsome Old Man said, "Let's continue searching, this time's harvest is quite good, I can break down many materials." Now that he had the bead from Guo Shier, he was very interested in the sacrificial artifact fragments. If he didn't have this sacrificial artifact, then the difficulty of breaking down the fragments would be many times higher.

Along the way, the sacrificial artifact fragments were collected one by one. Guo Shier felt like he was an expert at picking up trash, not letting go of even the smallest fragments.

Xian Ru Dai had been searching for the past few days without rest, she had also found many sacrificial artifact fragments. Originally, she was very happy, but after seeing the speed at which Guo Shier was searching, she became depressed.

Guo Shier had only hovered near her for a moment, but he had already dug out three sacrificial artifact fragments from the ground, moreover, he had dug them out from the places she had already searched.

Xian Ru Dai flew to Guo Shier's side and asked, "Big brother Shier, how many sacrificial artifact fragments did you find?"

Guo Shier smiled and said, "Not many, not many …"

The little girl was very persistent, and asked, "How many is not many?"

Guo Shier played it down and said, "A few hundred fragments should be enough."

Hearing this, Xian Ru Dai cried out, "Wow … big brother Shier, how can it be so exaggerated? A few hundred fragments … Aiyaya, I can't take it anymore, a few hundred … I've been busy for several days and only found eighty fragments, big brother Shier, what kind of trick do you have? Tell me … "
