Guo Shier was annoyed and amused at the same time. He said, "This Gusirius is too cautious. It actually went berserk and didn't rush in. Instead, it used its tentacles to grab randomly …"
A Handsome Old Man said, "Be careful and live for ten thousand years. That year … sigh, let's not talk about it. It's sad … Don't worry, this guy won't be able to resist the fragrance of the soul. It will definitely come in."
Guo Shier smiled and said, "People die for wealth and birds die for food."
A Handsome Old Man said, "That makes sense, but not necessarily." In fact, he agreed with Guo Shier in his heart. He still couldn't completely remember what happened that year. He only vaguely knew that he died in this secret realm for something. Because his soul hadn't fully recovered, his memory was a little fuzzy.
Gusirius was, after all, a beast's soul. No matter how smart and careful it was, it still fell into A Handsome Old Man's trap. It finally couldn't resist anymore and rushed into the array. Seeing that its body had completely entered the array, A Handsome Old Man smiled proudly and said, "I'm not afraid that you won't fall for it. Hehe …" He made a few hand signs and said, "Kid, look at the power of this array!"
Falconer suddenly shouted, "Look, there's fog rising!"
A gust of mist emanated from the Ancient Ink Lotus, quickly shrouding the entire talisman design and spreading outwards.
Guo Shier sat on Gumelion. He was surprised to find that no fog could block his eyes. He could see everything in the array clearly. He couldn't help but exclaim, "This array is indeed magical! A Handsome Old Man, what should we do next? "
A Handsome Old Man said, "Wait! Wait for the array to weaken their power. Hehe, a level 17 spirit beast and two level 15 spirit beasts. Kid, your luck is really good. There are enough offerings for the altar and a lot of them. "
Guo Shier had already opened a part of his inherited memory. The most important content was to build his virtual altar, but A Handsome Old Man seemed to have a better idea. So he had been waiting to see how A Handsome Old Man would help him build the altar.
A Handsome Old Man said, "I really admire you. You were able to get Gumelion when you were only an Advanced Great Saint Master. This thing … even in our time, it was a rare treasure. I've studied it for a while and there's only one word to describe it. Gumelion … is very strong!"
Guo Shi 'er said, "Handsome old man, that's just one word, okay?"
A Handsome Old Man said, "No matter how many words it is, this thing is really magical. Gumelion … is one of the few treasures in the world that has a natural altar."
Guo Shier asked curiously, "There are other natural altars?"
A Handsome Old Man said, "Of course. As far as I know, there are also altars formed by Spirit Sealing Jade, but they are far inferior to your Gumelion. Oh, right, I once saw a guy … uh, I can't remember who he was. He had a flame altar made entirely of flames. That guy was very powerful. His altar was also formed naturally. I don't know how he got it or how he refined it. On his altar, normal spirit beasts would not be able to live. Those were all fire attribute spirit beasts."
Guo Shi 'er listened with great interest. He glanced at Gu Xixiao, who was running amok in the talisman formation, and said, "An altar made of flames? Then there are also natural altars made of ice? "
A Handsome Old Man said, "That's right. They are naturally formed in the secret realm."
Guo Shier asked, "How many people can obtain a natural altar?" Just as he finished speaking, he realized that he had asked a stupid question. Sure enough, A Handsome Old Man laughed and scolded, "How would I know how many people can obtain a natural altar?"
Guo Shi 'er said, "I was wrong. I meant how many people have you seen who have natural altars?"
A Handsome Old Man shook his head and said, "I only remember two. One is a guy with a flame altar, and the other guy is also very powerful. He refined an ancient tree into his soul altar. As for the others, I've only heard of them. I've never seen them before."
Guo Shier asked, "Ancient tree?"
A Handsome Old Man said, "That's an extremely rare Ancient Rock Dragon Tree. In fact, it's a symbiotic ancient tree. It grew from the body of a dead Rock Dragon. After tens of thousands of years of growth, it was refined into an ancient tree altar."
Guo Shier exclaimed, "That's possible? It's really magical. "
A Handsome Old Man cast a few spells to activate the array and said, "Of course it's magical. A natural altar is much more powerful than one refined by oneself. Unfortunately, many professionals who have their own altars, even if they find such a natural altar, they can't change it or collect it. Hehe, many professionals don't understand the characteristics of a natural altar."
Guo Shier asked, "You know all about it?"
A Handsome Old Man shook his head and said, "I've lost my memory. I only remember part of it. At that time, many people didn't even want to refine their own altars in order to find a natural altar."
Guo Shier said, "I won't. I'd rather refine my own altar than look for a natural altar. That thing is too rare. I don't have time to waste."
A Handsome Old Man said, "Anyone can make sarcastic remarks. You already have a natural altar. Of course, you don't need to refine your own altar."
Guo Shier said, "No, I didn't expect that I would get Gumelion this time. You know, I've already prepared the materials to build an illusory altar. Once I've stabilized, I'll start refining my own altar."
A Handsome Old Man glanced at the spirit beasts in the array and said, "We have time now. Tell me what happened at that time. How did you get Gumelion?"
Guo Shier nodded and said, "Yes." He explained in detail how he got Gumelion.
A Handsome Old Man said, "Those idiots … Kid, your luck is so good that it makes me jealous."
Guo Shier asked, "How are they idiots?"
A Handsome Old Man said, "They used their own souls to capture Gumelion. Of course, they couldn't. They all have altars. Even if Gumelion wanted to recognize them, it would be impossible. These idiots! They actually let a professional without an altar to capture her. Any senior professional without an altar could have gotten Gumelion! "
Guo Shier couldn't help but be stunned. He thought that it was because his soul was special that he got Gumelion. So this was the reason. Guo Shier sighed in his heart, "It's really scary to be uneducated!"
A Handsome Old Man shook his head and sighed. Soon, he smiled and said, "Fortunately, you got Gumelion. Otherwise, I would have been finished. If I stayed in the altar, I would have completely turned into soul fragments in less than a hundred years. At that time, even if you used Gumelion to capture me, you wouldn't get anything."
Guo Shier thought for a moment and asked, "A Handsome Old Man, what characteristics does Gumelion have?"
A Handsome Old Man smiled and said, "Why do you ask this question?"
Guo Shier said, "I'm curious. I don't know much about Gumelion. Although there are some in my inherited memory, there aren't many records."
A Handsome Old Man said, "I'm not very clear about what's so special about Gumelion. However, once Gumelion is used to construct the Illusory Altar, you and I can both understand what characteristics Gumelion has. I don't know about other things, but Gumelion has an innate skill, which is amazing."
Guo Shier asked, "What skill is it?"
A Handsome Old Man said, "Soul Control!" He continued, "This should be the biggest characteristic of Gumelion. I, an old man, have already been completely controlled by Gumelion. I can't leave, and I can't resist … Of course, I don't want to resist either. This place has already become my root. If Gumelion dies, I will also die with her."
Guo Shier also had this feeling. Gumelion was in his soul, so he could also feel some things. When he captured A Handsome Old Man from the altar and extracted the soul from the altar, he relied on Gumelion. He knew that he didn't have this ability.
A Handsome Old Man said, "Don't think too much. Your Gumelion can't control a profession that has an altar."
Guo Shier was a bit surprised and said, "I didn't think about controlling it … Ah, I can't control it now, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to control it in the future."
A Handsome Old Man couldn't help but be stunned. His understanding of Gumelion might be more than Guo Shier's, but it was still very limited. He couldn't help but admit that what Guo Shier said was reasonable. He said, "If she can control a profession that has an altar, then … then that's too scary!"
Guo Shier shook his head and said, "There's no need to think too much about it now. Wait until the altar is constructed, then we'll know some clues."
A Handsome Old Man said, "That's right, I have to remind you that the soul you have right now isn't enough to construct the altar. You have to find a way to strengthen your soul a bit more. Otherwise … once the altar is constructed, and your soul isn't strong enough, it will collapse."
Guo Shier said, "Collapse? Wouldn't that be the end of me? "
A Handsome Old Man nodded, "That's right. At that time, you'll be dead for sure, and the altar will collapse. However … with Gumelion's sturdiness, it'll most likely form a primary inheritance altar."
Guo Shier was scared, "That scary?"
A Handsome Old Man said solemnly, "I'm not trying to scare you. I've seen a lot of people die at this point. This is a very big obstacle. Countless professions are stuck at this point, unable to advance any further."
Guo Shier asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
A Handsome Old Man laughed, "You don't have to worry. Hehe, as long as there are enough altars …" He didn't finish his sentence. Guo Shier immediately reacted. In the Battle Secret Realm, he had already extracted a lot of souls from altars. This was a way to quickly strengthen his soul. It wasn't any worse than Qi Nanshan and Luo Jie's ability to burn each other's souls. As long as there were enough altars, with Gumelion's magical ability, he could quickly strengthen his soul.
Although Guo Shier and A Handsome Old Man were talking, their eyes were fixed on Gusirius.
After Gusirius entered the array, it immediately understood that it had fallen into a trap. It immediately flew into the air, trying to escape. However, this large array was not ordinary. The array that A Handsome Old Man used was an ancient array, which was very powerful. After flying for a few meters, it fell down in a sorry state. It was so angry that it frantically waved its tentacles.
The other two Soul Beasts ran in circles in the array for more than two hours. With such a huge body, once it started to fight or run, it would consume a lot of soul power. Gradually, the speed of the two Soul Beasts slowed down. As the fog thickened, the two Soul Beasts scattered and ran around in the array.
