When that thing flew closer, Shen Lang discovered that it wasn't an illusory energy creature, but a real animal. As for it looking like a jellyfish and a brain, it was a complete coincidence.
This should be an ancient creature, it was as light as a feather as if it had no weight, it really looked like a jellyfish.
The closer it was, the more he could feel the flickering light in its body, it should be countless spiritual energy memories, it was really too mysterious.
Moreover, it looked completely harmless, just like the jellyfish in the aquarium. Although there were some poisonous jellyfish in the sea, most of them were like moving flowers.
The ancient world was really mysterious, it even had this kind of creature.
To put it bluntly, it was like a super storage device, a super biological USB. The only difference was that the USB drive stored data, while this creature stored countless memories.
Gang One looked at the floating spiritual soul carrier with an incomparably complicated gaze.
He was the heir cultivated by the Great Tribulation Temple, he should naturally obtain the Great Tribulation Wisdom King's spiritual soul, why not him?
Just as Shen Lang had guessed, Gang already knew when the Ghost City was going to open. Therefore, he came here even earlier to wait for the inheritance of the spiritual soul. He also discovered Shen Lang and his subordinates a long time ago, but they did not interfere with each other.
After the solar eclipse, the Ghost City opened, and the two entered the Ghost City at almost the same time, even Gang One was slightly earlier.
In order to be absolutely confidential, after entering the Ghost City, Gang One used his powerful spiritual power to block Shen Lang's thoughts, making him fall into eternal darkness, and he couldn't see the Great Tribulation Wisdom King's spiritual energy carrier. Gang One planned to leave silently after completing the inheritance, and he wouldn't let Shen Lang see the process.
However, he didn't expect that he actually failed, the Great Tribulation Wisdom King's spiritual soul didn't float towards him, but towards Shen Lang.
Gang One tried to stop it countless times, but this jellyfish-like spiritual soul carrier still stubbornly flew towards Shen Lang.
At that time, Gang One's heart was filled with grief and indignation, why? Based on what?
I, Gang One, am the genius of the Great Tribulation Temple, the true heir of the Great Tribulation Wisdom King, even my appearance is exactly the same as the Great Tribulation Wisdom King on the totem. Who was Shen Lang? He was Jiang Li's son, the enemy who wiped out Great Tribulation Temple.
Gang Yi tried his best to accept the inheritance, but failed.
Then he fell silent for a long time. He had to make a choice.
Should he choose this body, or should he choose the Great Tribulation Wisdom King's soul memories?
From the looks of it, there was only one way to receive the inheritance, and that was to possess Shenlang. However, if he did that, he would have to give up his own body. He had cultivated for dozens of years to reach his current cultivation level, while Shen Lang was completely powerless.
Once he possessed Shen Lang, his loss would be too great. Was it worth it just for the spirit and soul of a Great Tribulation Wisdom King?
Of course, in the end, he still chose to abandon his body. He wanted to obtain the Great Tribulation Wisdom King's soul because this was his ultimate mission. He had lived his entire life for this moment. Even his life was for this moment.
That was the reason why the scene from before had occurred. He had used all of his abilities in an attempt to seize Shen Lang's body.
However, possession was a very, very difficult thing. A person's brain was the strongest fortress. Even the weakest person's brain defense was very strong. It was possible to destroy it, but it was very difficult to occupy it intact. The other party had to agree 100% and have no will to resist at all.
Gang One had done well enough and didn't show any flaws, but Shen Lang was too cunning. He still saw through the flaw, causing the possession to fail.
At this moment, he watched as the Great Tribulation Wisdom King's soul carrier flew toward Shen Lang. Gang One actually had a choice, and that was to destroy it. He also had another choice, and that was to destroy Shen Lang and kill Shen Lang.
Shen Lang said, "Your Excellency Gang One, if you want to stop this inheritance, you can actually kill me directly."
Gang One didn't make a sound. It was easy for him to kill Shen Lang at this time.
But he didn't move. He just watched everything quietly. His brain was struggling. If he killed Shen Lang, would the Great Tribulation Wisdom King's soul have no choice but to pass it on to him?
The jellyfish-like thing flew directly to the top of Shen Lang's head and then opened like an umbrella, gradually shrouding the top of Shen Lang's head.
Shen Lang couldn't help but hold his breath. Then he gradually felt the existence of his body. The feeling of death and loneliness disappeared. Although his body still couldn't move, at least he could feel it.
Soon, he saw and felt this jellyfish-like thing completely wrapped his head.
However, there was no feeling of suffocation. Instead, it was cool. This scene was a bit like the facehugger in Alien.
After a few minutes, Shen Lang's entire head was completely wrapped, followed by a slight tingling as if something had pierced into his brain.
It turned out to be such an inheritance. It was very biological. It was completely different from what he imagined.
Then, countless spiritual forces, spiritual souls, and spiritual memories poured into Shen Lang's brain.
In an instant, his brain went blank, and he lost all his thoughts. It was as if the computer directly crashed.
At the same time, many firefly-like things in the entire ghost city lit up. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of them flew toward Shen Lang's brain.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
These firefly-like things were like moths flying into a flame. They directly hit Shen Lang's brain and soon disappeared without a trace.
During the whole process, Shen Lang still didn't feel anything. It was a complete blank.
… …
He didn't know how much time had passed. It was really like a complete sleep.
When he gradually regained consciousness, the familiar feeling came again. He seemed to have lost his body, quietly flowing in the void, completely unable to feel his own existence.
The feeling of death and loneliness was that only the brain could think. He couldn't see anything, and he couldn't hear anything.
How was this a spiritual inheritance? It was like he had been reborn.
Only after a very long time did everything gradually recover. He gradually felt his body, and then he regained his hearing and consciousness.
Finally, he regained control of his body. He used all his strength to open his eyes.
He was still in the Great Calamity Palace. Outside was a sky full of flying snow. Sword Sovereign Li Qianqiu, Xue Yin, and a dozen other people surrounded him.
"Your Majesty, you are finally awake."
"Your Majesty, we almost thought you would never wake up again," Grandmaster Ban Ruo said.
The moment he said this, everyone looked at him. Do you even know how to speak?
"How long did I sleep for?" Shen Lang asked.
"About half a year." Xue Yin said, "You are exactly like a vegetable. You can't feel anything at all, but your body is normal."
So long? Shen Lang was shocked.
This spiritual inheritance seemed very dangerous, but Shen Lang felt that it should be safe. This was because his Ancient King Ring and his special bloodline should be able to resist such energy damage.
In fact, the entire inheritance process was the same. It wasn't a possession at all.
Shen Lang's analogy was very clear. The inheritance was like upgrading a computer, and a lot of new data was transferred in. But if it was a possession, it would be completely reformatted and the system would be reinstalled. All the data inside would be gone.
But no one expected that he would be unconscious for half a year.
"Your Majesty, how do you feel now?" Xue Yin asked.
What feeling?
That's right, this was the thousand-year-old spiritual soul of the Great Calamity Wisdom King. It was incomparably awesome. Shen Lang should feel as if he had opened the door to a whole new world.
Moreover, there should be many more memories in his brain. Super awesome memories.
Hence, Shen Lang searched his brain, but he couldn't find anything. There were no memories at all.
His brain was still the original brain, and there was nothing extra.
What, what was going on?
Could it be that he had experienced a fake inheritance?
Not to mention possession, the other party didn't seem to have left anything in his brain.
That shouldn't be the case. All the records were clear. The inheritance of the Great Calamity God would leave many memories and wisdom in the brain of the new successor. Why was there nothing in Shen Lang's brain?
Following which, Shen Lang opened the AI and realized that there was nothing inside.
Of course, he couldn't ask the AI if there was something extra in his brain. This was because the AI wasn't a system.
However, this AI could display the capacity directly. Then, Shen Lang was shocked to find that there were many more things in his brain.
Oh my god, this was too much.
Using the most direct observation, the storage capacity of his brain could reach a shocking few billion T. Before, Shen Lang didn't even use 10% of it.
But now? Around 50% of Shen Lang's brain space had been used up.
This also meant that the amount of data from the Great Calamity Wisdom King's spiritual soul inheritance was around 10 times that of all of Shen Lang's memories. What kind of shocking memories was this?
Moreover, Shen Lang's original stored memories were 40 to 50 years of life. There were countless fragments of his life that were completely messy and innumerable.
The spiritual memories from the Great Calamity Wisdom King's inheritance were crucial and very useful. Such a large amount of data was not just from one library. It might even be more than all the data in the Sky-sea Pavilion's libraries combined.
However, Shen Lang couldn't read these spiritual memories at all. They were like hidden folders in a computer's hard drive. At least for now, Shen Lang didn't have the authority to read them.
What was going on?
Shen Lang tried everything he could to explore this shocking amount of memories, but in the end, he couldn't find anything.
These spiritual memories were placed in my brain, but I couldn't read them. What did this mean?
He tried again and again, but all of them failed. In the end, he gave up.
What did this look like?
Shen Lang couldn't help but think of Bran in the super lousy "Game of Thrones" who only knew how to roll his eyes. He was a three-eyed crow who had all the historical memories of the entire human race. In the end, it was useless. He only rolled his eyes a few times during the crucial battle.
The spiritual memories passed down from generation to generation in the Great Calamity Temple were like this?
Of course, Shen Lang knew that this was very important and could even decide the fate of the world. This was because the Great Calamity Temple was born from the impact of the Fire Dragon Comet. Even its name came from the total solar eclipse.
Therefore, the Great Calamity Temple should have some kind of mission. The Great Calamity Wisdom King knew that he couldn't live for that long, so he chose to pass down his spiritual memories. Was he the last generation?
As the Great Calamity Wisdom King, what kind of mission should he have?
Shen Lang immediately thought of Gang One. As the successor of the Great Calamity God, he should know more, right?
"Have any of you seen a mysterious man? A monk, androgynous, and even prettier than me? "Shen Lang asked.
Li Qianqiu, Xue Yin, and Ban Ruo shook their heads.
Gang One was awesome. It was as if he was invisible. He had appeared in the ruins of the Great Calamity Temple and tried to possess Shen Lang, but none of the Grandmasters had discovered his existence.
Now, he had disappeared without a trace.
"Your Majesty, do you feel the explosive increase in your mental energy?" Xue Yin asked.
That's right, this was Shen Lang's most important goal. The explosive increase in mental energy was to destroy Ying Guang and the Stupa Mountain Lord.
But now, it seemed like he had bought the casket and returned the pearls. The most important part of the Great Calamity Wisdom King's inheritance was the spiritual memories that concerned the fate of the entire world. As for the increase in mental energy, it was just a side effect.
In that case, did Shen Lang's mental energy increase?
He … didn't know. This was something that couldn't be quantified or felt.
If the Dragon Sword was in his hands, he could release an energy whirlpool to take a look. Furthermore, mental energy wasn't the same as energy. Shen Lang had just woken up and was feeling extremely fatigued.
Shen Lang looked outside. The cold wind was howling, and it was snowing heavily.
He had slept for more than half a year, and it was already the middle of October.
Previously, he had said that he would use half a year's time to mass-produce the Nightmare Stone Rifles, small-scale Dragon Power, and Hell Fire Cannons. Then, he would equip the Great Qian Empire's new army.
It had already been more than half a year. Including the time before, a total of eight months had passed.
His new army should have been reinvigorated by now.
"Come, let's return to Raging Tide City," Shen Lang said.
Xue Yin whistled. Then, the Ultrasonic Beast descended from the sky. In the past half a year, it had gone crazy, flying back and forth between the ruins of the Great Calamity Palace and Raging Tide City.
… …
Two days later, Shen Lang secretly landed in Raging Tide City.
"How's the situation over at Qian Capital?" Shen Lang asked, "Is the voting over?"
Prince Jin said, "Prince Lian reported to Yan Capital. The Great Yan Empire's Crown Prince agreed to let the tens of millions of citizens of the New Qian Empire vote on whether they would be loyal to the Jiang Family or the Ying Family. In the next half a year, Mirror will impersonate His Majesty and go to every county and city in the New Qian Empire to give a speech. "
Shen Lang asked, "Has he been seen through by others?"
"No." Prince Jin said, "In fact, he doesn't seem like a substitute at all. He's more like you than you are. His feelings for the Great Qian Empire seem to be more intense than yours. In the past half a year, he gave more than two hundred speeches. The content of each speech was different, and every article was full of impact. He really cut open the souls of the people of the New Qian Empire."
Next, Prince Jin handed over a few articles. These were all speeches that Mirror had impersonated.
After taking a look, Shen Lang felt a chill run down his spine. The writing was too good. The style of writing was Shen Lang's, but it was better than Shen Lang's. Here, facing the Great Qian Empire, Mirror's feelings for Emperor Jiang Li were like a volcano about to erupt.
It seemed calm, but in reality, it was about to explode.
Prince Jin said, "Every time I read these articles, my heart will be greatly impacted. So, every speech will be posted in Raging Tide City, Wu Chu, and Yue Countries. Everyone will think that it's your work. Every article will raise our morale. The feelings of the tens of millions of people toward the Great Qian Empire have reached the extreme. Their loyalty and passion toward us have also reached the extreme. "
Shen Lang carefully looked at these articles. There wasn't a single word that talked about how great the Jiang Clan was, or how glorious their history was. There wasn't any at all. Practically all the articles were talking about the common people, talking about the world, talking about civilization, talking about Emperor Jiang Li's ideals, and talking about Jiang Lang's own ideals.
In the end, these ideals became the ideals of the people. It wasn't for the country or supreme power, but to liberate the world, liberate civilization, and lead the world to a higher civilization and a more glorious era.
Every article really made one's blood boil.
"Mirror is purer than me, much more noble than me." Shen Lang sighed. "He played me too well, too perfectly."
Prince Jin said, "However, His Majesty is the one and only."
Shen Lang said, "When will the voting results of the New Qian Kingdom be out?"
Jin Jun said, "Soon, it will be in the next few days."
Shen Lang didn't have any hope for this voting because the people of Beijing had disappointed him too much. Their bravery had been castrated, and they had chosen to be ugly.
"Chunhua, how is Princess Futu Yingying?" Shen Lang asked.
Zhang Chunhua said, "I'll bring you to see her."
… …
After the engagement that night, Shen Lang immediately got someone to ride Dachao and follow behind Pavilion Master Zuo Ci's envoy group. They left Beijing and flew back to Raging Tide City.
Shen Lang said that he had to cure Ren Yingying and let her become a normal human, able to have children normally.
However, he searched through countless ancient books and couldn't find a way to save Ren Yingying. He couldn't even find the cause of her illness.
It was too bizarre. Her body was completely transparent, and she couldn't be exposed to sunlight or even touched. Otherwise, it would be like being burned.
After that, Shen Lang obtained an item. He felt that this item might be able to cure Ren Yingying, and that was the dragon box he obtained from the ancient Jiang Clan's mausoleum, which was also the box that contained Jiang Li's will.
This box was also a very important item in the ancient civilization. It could allow the Hellfire Bug to continuously split.
Therefore, Shen Lang tried to use this dragon box to treat Ren Yingying. The specific method of treatment was to put Ren Yingying into the dragon box.
They entered the underground laboratory, where the dragon box was placed.
"Ren Yingying is still inside?" Shen Lang asked.
"Yes." Zhang Chunhua said, "Your Majesty, before opening the dragon box, I advise you to be mentally prepared. It might be completely different from what you imagined."
Huh?
What happened?
"Go open the box," Shen Lang said.
Zhang Chunhua went forward and opened the dragon box. Instantly, a dazzling light shot out, making it hard to open one's eyes.
After a long while, Shen Lang finally saw Princess Ren Yingying's appearance clearly.
Her body wasn't transparent, but it was glowing as if there were countless light bulbs inside.
Not only that, but her body and face had also changed.
Originally, her face was exquisite, but now it was very flirtatious and didn't look like a human's.
Not only that, there were bone spikes growing out of her back. Even though they were only about two inches long, they were extremely sharp.
What, what kind of race is this?
Stupa Mountain's Sect Leader Ren planned to cultivate the world's number one insect in her body. Does this have anything to do with the insect in her body?
Furthermore, is she Sect Leader Ren's biological daughter? Could it be that Shen Lang's previous brainwashing was true, that Sect Leader Ren couldn't give birth to descendants?
"We also don't know why this happened." Zhang Chunhua said, "Your Majesty, you ordered us to put her in the dragon box. At first, the effects were very fast. After just three days, the transparent symptoms on her body gradually subsided. We were very surprised and thought that she would be cured very soon. But unexpectedly, her body started to glow, her face started to transform, and her whole body started to transform. Finally, there were bone spikes growing out of her back. "
Shen Lang said hoarsely, "She, she isn't human."
Furthermore, her nirvana transformation had just begun, and Shen Lang didn't know what she would become.
Zhang Chunhua said, "We were very worried, so we wanted to stop the dragon box treatment, but we didn't expect that we couldn't stop it at all. She has to be placed in the dragon box for four hours every day, otherwise, her chances of survival will wither rapidly, and her life might even be in danger. "
At this moment, Shen Lang was completely stunned.
Previously, he thought that Ren Yingying was only poisoned by a very special kind of venom. After all, Sect Leader Ren wanted to nurture the world's number one venom in her body. He didn't expect that she … she actually underwent nirvana transformation.
Furthermore, he obtained the spiritual inheritance of the Great Tribulation Wisdom King to strengthen his mental strength. He didn't expect that his brain would inexplicably have strange spiritual memories that he couldn't decipher.
Something bad was going to happen, something big was going to happen.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Zhang Chunhua asked.
"Continue." Shen Lang said, "Place her in the dragon box for four hours every day. I want to see what kind of nirvana transformation she will undergo."
Zhang Chunhua said, "When this dragon box was used to split the hellfire worm, the energy consumption was negligible. But after Princess Ren Yingying lay in the dragon box, the energy consumption of the dragon box was very fast. If this goes on, we might have to replenish it with dragon blood marrow. "
Shen Lang also felt that after half a year, the dragon box's energy was less than half.
This meant that half of the dragon box's energy had been absorbed by Princess Ren Yingying's body, and she had undergone a transformation.
This, this is really too strange.
What would she become?
… …
In Leizhou Island's secret testing ground.
Shen Lang wanted to test whether his mental strength had increased, because he couldn't feel it at all.
After receiving the spiritual inheritance of the Great Tribulation Wisdom King, everything seemed to be the same as before. Shen Lang was still sleepy, and he didn't even feel that his energy had increased. There was no improvement in any aspect.
In short, it was as if he hadn't received the inheritance at all. This wouldn't do. If his mental strength hadn't increased, how could he destroy Ying Guang and Sect Leader Ren? How could he destroy Ying Guang and the allied army?
"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to release so many at once?" Princess Dora asked.
"Yes!" Shen Lang said.
Two thousand meters away from Shen Lang, hundreds of ancient giant crossbows and ancient war crossbows were densely packed together.
Previously, with Shen Lang's weak mental strength, he could only block one ancient crossbow at a time before fainting.
His ultimate goal was to block the Regret of the Dragon. Only then would he be able to defend against the Great Yan Empire's long-range attack on Raging Tide City.
"Ready!"
Following Princess Dola's order, hundreds of Ancient Giant Crossbows and Ancient Giant War Crossbows were ready.
Shen Lang bent his body slightly and gathered an unknown amount of mental energy.
Could he destroy Ying Guang? Whether he could destroy Sect Leader Ren depended on this.
Damn it, did my spiritual power skyrocket or not?
"Fire!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
Hundreds of ancient crossbow bolts and thousands of ancient crossbow bolts shot towards Shen Lang like a torrential rain.
Each arrow spat out a trail of flames, like an incomparably gorgeous meteor shower.
If an attack of this level was effective, it would be a devastating blow to the army.
After all, Shen Lang's large-scale army didn't have any powerful armor.
Shen Lang focused his gaze on the thousands of ancient crossbow bolts in the sky.
Suddenly …
A stunning scene occurred. These ancient crossbow bolts were originally flying at a speed of three to four hundred meters per second. They couldn't be seen with the naked eye at all.
But now, in Shen Lang's vision, they actually slowed down. Three times, five times, ten times. It was as if they were in slow motion in a movie.
Of course, this wasn't because the ancient crossbow bolts had slowed down. It was because Shen Lang's mental strength had become stronger. With his special vision, everything he saw seemed to be in slow motion.
The distance was getting closer and closer.
These thousands of ancient crossbow bolts were about to drown and tear Shen Lang to shreds. Even though he was wearing ancient equipment, the dozen special warriors at the side were prepared to rush over and surround him.
At this moment, Shen Lang suddenly raised his right hand.
"Freeze!"
He roared in his heart. Boundless mental strength burst forth, transmitting it to the Heart of the Dragon and into the Ancient King's Ring.
His mental strength and the energy of the Heart of the Dragon merged completely, forming a terrifying energy wave.
Instantly!
These thousands of fast-flying ancient crossbow bolts were frozen in the air, motionless.
This, this was truly heaven-defying.
