The black book that appeared in Bai Xiaowen's mind had a pure black cover and no title.
Moreover, compared to The Art of War and The Taixu Sutra, the black book was obviously one size smaller. It was also very thin and covered in a layer of pure black light.
"Another class ancient book?"
Bai Xiaowen tried to infuse his spiritual sense into the black book. When he tried to read it, he found that he could not 'lift' the cover of the black book no matter how hard he tried.
He could not open it!
Bai Xiaowen frowned.
There were many possibilities that he could not open it. The most likely possibility was that the black book was currently in an incomplete state, so he could not read it.
From the comparison between the black book and the previous two class ancient books, it was still very obvious. Although the black book's style was high class, and the pure black light that enveloped it was like a black hole that could suck in one's sight, the black book itself was still too thin, and it was even a size smaller.
Bai Xiaowen withdrew from his mind. Although he was curious about what was recorded in the black book, he was not in a hurry.
Bai Xiaowen had already cultivated two class ancient books, so he could not cultivate a third one unless he found a way to activate three classes. However, Bai Xiaowen felt that it was unlikely. Dual classes were already extremely rare, and the difficulty of activating three classes was not as simple as doubling. It would at least be five or ten times more difficult. There might not even be a way to activate three classes.
He could not possibly destroy The Taixu Sutra, right? This was because the beginner class ancient book, The Art of War, could not be changed.
Even if he hardened his heart and destroyed The Taixu Sutra, whether or not he could cultivate this black book was still a big problem.
Thinking of this, Bai Xiaowen suddenly trembled.
"No! This black book is not a class ancient book! "
If it was a class ancient book, Bai Xiaowen should have received a notification about the cultivation compatibility after obtaining it. For example, the compatibility with The Art of War or The Taixu Sutra would have indicated whether or not the evolver met the cultivation requirements.
Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes.
Since the Black Book wasn't a professional record, then was it similar to the "Grass Sword Soul", a strange object that was entrusted to the body of an evolver?
The difference was that the Grass Sword Spirit was currently residing in Bai Xiaowen's Dantian Qi Sea, revolving around his True Inner Force Core like a satellite. The Black Book, on the other hand, was residing in Bai Xiaowen's Sea of Consciousness between his eyebrows, existing beside the two profession manuals.
Bai Xiaowen had tried to use his True Inner Force to communicate with the Grass Sword Soul. He was able to get a response from the Grass Sword Soul, but he was unable to use it as an offensive skill. It seemed that he lacked some sort of prerequisite, so he left it at that.
Bai Xiaowen thought for a moment and made another attempt, which was to guide his True Qi into his Knowledge Sea in an attempt to communicate with the Black Book and see if he could use it.
After all, it was his own Sea of Consciousness. Unlike the Bewitching Spell that invaded other people's Sea of Consciousness, Bai Xiaowen was still very careful. At first, he only used a trace of True Core Strength to probe.
Unexpectedly, this trace of True Core Strength disappeared as soon as it came into contact with the pure black light on the surface of the Black Book, as if it had been completely swallowed!
Bai Xiaowen was shocked. He immediately inspected his body and found that there was nothing wrong with his body. He had only used about ten points of True Core Strength.
Bai Xiaowen tried again, this time increasing the amount of True Core Strength to 20 points.
Then, the Black Book once again absorbed all of it.
30 points! 40 points!
Bai Xiaowen slowly increased the amount of True Core Strength he injected.
On his fourth attempt, after injecting 40 points of True Core Strength, the Black Book finally reacted.
The pure black light flashed slightly, and then a trace of pure black energy was "spat" out.
This trace of pure black energy turned into a small black ball, revolving around the Black Book like a satellite.
Bai Xiaowen then tried to continue communicating with the Black Book by injecting True Core Strength, but he was shocked to find that the pure black energy ball actually produced a strong resistance, preventing his True Core Strength from continuing to communicate with the Black Book.
After all, this was his own Sea of Consciousness. Bai Xiaowen did not want to engage in a battle of Elemental Energy, so he could only stop.
[What exactly is this pure black energy ball?]
With this question in mind, Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes and began his habitual self-examination for the last time.
With this self-examination, Bai Xiaowen immediately found something fishy.
On Bai Xiaowen's personal panel, a small column had appeared below the original "Spiritual Energy Value".
[Death's Power: 10/10]
What the hell was this "Death's Power"? Where were the rules of the Spiritual Realm? Why didn't they report such a huge change to the Attribute Panel!
Death's Power, just from the name alone, it was very impressive!
Bai Xiaowen was instantly excited. Since it was his own energy, then he should be able to use it, right?
Bai Xiaowen then gave it a try.
Then, he realized that he was overthinking.
These 10 points of Death's Power should be the pure black energy ball that was revolving around the Black Book.
Currently, the pure black energy ball would not listen to his thoughts. In other words, these 10 points of Death's Power were just for show.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head.
When his friends saw that Bai Xiaowen had stopped, they all gathered around to ask what had happened. It seemed like the Death's Face Mask had swallowed the Death's Hand Bone.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "It's hard to explain what happened in a few words, but there was no immediate increase in strength."
Here, Bai Xiaowen did not mention the Death's Power and the Black Book, keeping it in mind.
It was not that he was worried about his friends, but Bai Xiaowen felt that it was best not to announce this kind of physical change that had not been detected by the Spiritual Realm's rules. Perhaps it was the influence of his father, Bai Yuantang, that caused Bai Xiaowen to subconsciously be very wary of anything related to the "God".
In any case, he had now collected the Death's Hand Bone.
Bai Xiaowen inserted the Wraith Banner (Incomplete) into the altar, and immediately, the bone mound formation returned to normal.
There were still some war wreckage that had not been dealt with, so he could use it for an experiment.
Without the Death's Hand Bone, and with the Wraith Banner (Incomplete) as the core of the formation, the power of the bone mound formation instantly decreased by more than one level.
The most obvious feeling was that the additional effect of "Spirit Energy Convergence" had been greatly weakened. The concentration of spirit energy in this underground palace was rapidly decreasing.
Bai Xiaowen did not care about this. This was Chang 'an City. Once the effect of spirit energy convergence dissipated, the concentration of spirit energy in the other Tang territories would definitely increase. After all, it was all in a pot. The spirit energy would not escape into the universe.
After the bone mound formation devoured the corpses, the black fog produced took human form.
The newly produced Soul creatures no longer had the strength of Evolved Humans. They were roughly equivalent to a Level-3 Awakened, but their numbers had increased by ten times. There were more than ten of them at once.
From the looks of it, this was the result of using the Wraith Banner to replace the Death's Hand Bone.
"Wait a minute … These weak Soul creatures seem to contain a huge business opportunity!" Bai Xiaowen suddenly became energized.
