If Duan Lingtian was only an ordinary Void Initiation Stage martial artist, he would naturally not think so much.
The reason he was able to think so much and make such educated guesses was all because of the memories of the two lifetimes of Reincarnation Emperor Wu that were fused with his mind.
Moreover, he'd encountered two powerful souls that wanted to destroy his soul and seize his body.
So no one knew more about soul seizing than Duan Lingtian.
"According to the memories of Reincarnation Emperor Wu, if the soul is strong enough, it can directly destroy the soul of another and seize their body to replace them."
"However, if the soul suffered a great blow, and only a strand of remnant soul remained, it would be difficult to destroy the soul of another and seize their body."
"However, even though it can't completely seize their body, it's not a problem to do so for a short period of time …"
When he thought up to here, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but gasp.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt his guess was correct.
"Also, when I first saw the Devilseal Tablet, a powerful soul was sealed within it … In other words, the Devilseal Tablet can seal souls!"
"When the black flame mark appeared between Zi Shang's brows, it should be when his body was occupied by another soul for a short period of time … I was wondering why the Devilseal Tablet was so agitated when the black mark appeared between Zi Shang's brows, and even took the initiative to attack Zi Shang after leaving the Spatial Ring, and only stopped attacking after the black flame mark between Zi Shang's brows disappeared."
"Now that I think about it, it's completely in line with my guess … The Devilseal Tablet is targeting the independent soul in Zi Shang's body. When that independent soul occupies Zi Shang's body for a short period of time, it would cause the Devilseal Tablet to fight against it. Once it hides, the Devilseal Tablet can't do anything to it. "
Duan Lingtian's thoughts gradually became clear.
"Looks like Zi Shang's fortuitous encounter is really extraordinary … There's actually the soul of an expert hidden within his body!"
According to the memories of Reincarnation Emperor Wu, Duan Lingtian knew very well.
A soul that could leave the body and live, besides certain conditions, must be at the Emperor Wu Stage or above.
In other words, the other soul in Zi Shang's body was once a powerful expert like Emperor Wu!
"The soul of that expert, Emperor Wu, should only be a strand of remnant soul … Otherwise, Zi Shang's body would have been completely occupied by him long ago."
Duan Lingtian was absolutely certain of this.
"After a mere strand of remnant soul occupied Zi Shang's body, it was able to raise Zi Shang's strength by four levels in a short period of time … Moreover, it even crossed a great realm! Even Samsara Emperor Wu at his peak might not be able to do this. "
Thinking of this, Duan Lingtian frowned.
"According to Reincarnation Emperor Wu's memories, no matter if it was his first or second lifetime, he was the strongest person on Cloud Continent. No one could rival him!"
"Perhaps there really is an existence that's even stronger than Reincarnation Emperor Wu in the boundless sea … Moreover, Reincarnation Emperor Wu had once guessed that it wouldn't be strange for there to be an existence that's even stronger than him in the boundless sea."
Perhaps this was what it meant by 'there's always someone stronger.'
Standing at the peak of Cloud Continent didn't mean that one stood at the peak of the entire world.
In this world, besides Cloud Continent, there was also the boundless and mysterious sea.
Besides Cloud Continent, many experts might be hidden in the depths of the boundless sea.
"Could it be that the Emperor Wu in Zi Shang's body came from the sea outside Cloud Continent?"
Duan Lingtian guessed once more.
Lying on the bed, Duan Lingtian looked at the ceiling as his gaze flickered. "The Devilseal Tablet seems to be able to counter the soul of that Emperor Wu … In this way, so long as the Devilseal Tablet is in my possession, then the soul of that Emperor Wu in Zi Shang's body won't be able to help Zi Shang deal with me."
Needless to say, after confirming this, Duan Lingtian felt extremely pleased in his heart.
Truthfully speaking, even though encountering Zi Shang today was out of his expectations, he wasn't willing to lose at Zi Shang's hands.
Before he took out the Devilseal Tablet, at the moment he was about to lose at Zi Shang's hands, his heart was bitter because he was about to be trampled beneath the feet of someone he'd once defeated.
That was a scene he wasn't willing to see, and it caused him to feel extremely displeased.
Fortunately, he took out the Devilseal Tablet in time and turned defeat into victory.
In the dazzling Audience Hall of the Imperial Palace.
"Imperial Uncle, is there an urgent matter that both of you have come to look for me so late at night?"
The Darkhan Dynasty's Emperor looked at the black clothed old man and white clothed young man that walked into the Audience Hall and asked slowly.
"I don't know the specifics as well … But, Zi Shang said that he'll tell us once he sees you."
The old man spoke.
"Zi Shang, have you encountered something that's troubling you? No matter what it is, feel free to speak … So long as it's within the ability of the Imperial Family, we'll surely help you deal with it properly. "
The Emperor spoke warmly to Zi Shang.
Zi Shang's brows raised.
After the Dynasty Martial Competition today, he noticed that most people in the Imperial Palace had a different attitude towards him, and this included the Darkhan Dynasty's Emperor before him.
Of course, he knew that the reason for all this was because of the strength and value he revealed during the Dynasty Martial Competition.
His value was sufficient to make the Emperor think highly of him and the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family.
"Your Majesty, it isn't that I've encountered something that's troubling me, but it's something that's related to the interests of the Imperial Family, so I have to speak."
Zi Shang lightly smiled as he spoke.
Something that's related to the interests of the Imperial Family?
Merely these words had whetted the appetite of the Emperor and black clothed old man.
"Speak."
The Emperor.
"Yes."
Zi Shang nodded. "Your Majesty, Master … I presume both of you saw the key to Duan Lingtian defeating me today, the broken stone tablet?"
The Emperor and old man nodded in unison.
Today, the most unforgettable scene for them was the scene of Duan Lingtian suddenly turning the tables at the instant he was about to lose at Zi Shang's hands.
The reason Duan Ling Tian was able to turn defeat into victory was all because of that broken stone tablet that seemed extremely ordinary.
If they didn't see it with their own two eyes, they would find it hard to believe.
Such an ordinary stone tablet actually broke through Zi Shang's secret technique and became the key to Duan Lingtian's victory.
Even now, they were still filled with curiosity towards the stone tablet in Duan Lingtian's hand, and they were curious about the profundity contained within that seemingly ordinary stone tablet.
After this battle, they naturally wouldn't naively think that it was an ordinary stone tablet.
What a joke!
If it was an ordinary stone tablet, would it be able to assist Duan Lingtian to seize first place in the Darkhan Dynasty's Martial Competition?
"I wonder if Your Majesty and Master are interested in knowing the details of that stone tablet?"
Zi Shang spoke slowly and whetted the appetite of the Emperor and old man.
"You know?"
The Emperor's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask.
Even though the old man didn't speak, he stared fixedly at Zi Shang, and he was obviously waiting for Zi Shang's answer.
Zi Shang nodded, and then he said, "It's a Saint Artifact that surpasses spirit weapons … This Saint Artifact isn't restricted by the amount of amplification it possesses, and it's mostly focused on various aspects of utilization."
"Besides amplification, Saint Artifacts possess various extremely miraculous abilities."
Zi Shang paused when he spoke up to here.
"Saint Artifact?"
The Emperor and old man had bewildered expressions when they heard this, as it was the first time they'd heard of the existence of a Saint Artifact.
But they'd heard something clearly.
That was.
A Saint Artifact was an existence that surpassed spirit weapons.
"Zi Shang, how do you know all this?"
The old man asked with a low voice.
Zi Shang said, "Master, I presume you're curious as to why my cultivation improved so quickly … Actually, all of this is because of the fortuitous encounter I obtained some time ago. During that fortuitous encounter, I found out about many things I didn't know in the past, and one of these things included the Saint Artifact. "
"Fortuitous encounter?"
The Emperor and old man looked at each other before nodding.
They'd guessed since long ago that Zi Shang had surely obtained some fortuitous encounter to possess his current shocking cultivation.
Otherwise, not to mention surpassing Bai Hao, he might not even be a match for Bai He.
"What you mean is that the broken stone tablet in Duan Lingtian's possession is actually a Saint Artifact?"
The Emperor's eyes lit up, and even his breathing became slightly hurried.
"Yes."
Zi Shang nodded, and then he said, "Your Majesty, you've seen the Saint Artifact in Duan Lingtian's possession today … Besides being an offensive Saint Artifact, his Saint Artifact also possesses the ability to counter various secret techniques. It was precisely because of this that I was defeated by him today. "
"On the other hand, if Origin Energy is fused into an offensive Saint Artifact, then it's usually able to provide an amplification of two times, and it surpasses a grade one spirit weapon!"
Zi Shang finished speaking in a single breath, and the depths of his eyes contained slight perturbation.
Now, he was waiting for the fish to take the bait.
As for if the fish would take the bait, he wasn't sure, so he was slightly perturbed.
"An offensive Saint Artifact? An amplification of two times? "
The Emperor's pupils couldn't help but constrict when he heard Zi Shang. "Moreover, it possesses the ability to counter various secret techniques? What ability does that Duan Lingtian possess to actually be able to obtain such a heaven defying Saint Artifact? "
As he finished muttering, the Emperor frowned slightly, and greed suffused his eyes.
"Zi Shang, this isn't a joke … Are you sure?"
The old man asked for further confirmation.
"Master, I'm naturally telling the truth."
Zi Shang hurriedly replied.
Although the Devilseal Tablet in Duan Lingtian's possession wasn't complete, no matter how bad it was, it was still a part of the Super Saint Artifact, the Devilseal Tablet. It wasn't difficult to provide an amplification of one's strength by fusing Origin Energy into it.
After all, even the small piece of the Devilseal Tablet in his possession would be able to provide an amplification of one's strength by two times as long as he was willing to fuse his Origin Energy into it.
Of course, he didn't dare rashly use it in a place where there were many people.
Even if it was only a small piece of the stone tablet, an item that could provide an amplification of one's strength by two times was sufficient to cause any martial artist to covet it.
Although he had the help of the Ghost Flame, because his cultivation was too low, the Ghost Flame's help to him was limited.
