The moment the Black Gourd appeared in Dongbo Xue Ying's hand, the treasure spirit became anxious. He transmitted anxiously: "Stop stop stop, stop right now. Hurry up and drip a drop of blood onto the Black Gourd!"
If the treasure spirit had said something else, Dongbo Xue Ying would not have bothered with it. After all, the protectors of the Ancestor Mother Religion would be able to hide in the treasure if he delayed for even a moment. But the words of the treasure spirit made him stop.
'Drip a drop of blood onto the Black Gourd? 'Dongbo Xue Ying could not help but let his imagination run wild.
"You brat that doesn't want your life, hurry up and drip a drop of blood on it. Isn't this what you have always wanted?" The treasure spirit urged.
Dongbo Xue Ying had some thoughts in his heart. He grabbed the Black Gourd with his left hand and dripped a drop of blood. This drop of blood touched the Black Gourd, and the Black Gourd naturally absorbed this drop of blood.
"Weng –"
Dongbo Xue Ying felt a sense of familiarity coming from the Black Gourd in his hand. It felt like his limbs. He could easily sense everything within the Black Gourd. There was a huge and mysterious array enveloping a fireball. That fireball was vast and boundless, and the ripples it emitted were merely the shallowest part of its power. Even though the fireball was powerful, it was completely controlled by the Void Array!
The fireball was entirely red. Endless waves of fire were rolling about, and the power contained within was unimaginable.
"This, this …" Dongbo Xue Ying had obtained the Black Gourd for so many years, yet he had never felt the fireball so clearly even when he displayed his control technique.
"Treasure spirit, have I successfully refined the Black Gourd?" Dongbo Xue Ying could not help but ask. He did not display his control technique, yet he could sense the entire Black Gourd so clearly. The only explanation was that the Black Gourd had recognized him as its master. But he had merely dripped a drop of blood on it. In the past 600,000 years, he had thought of many methods.
He had tried dripping a drop of blood on it, but it had all failed.
"You have already refined the Black Gourd! The Black Gourd has recognized you as its master. Why, can't you sense whether you have refined it or not? "The treasure spirit unhappily asked.
"Yes, yes." Dongbo Xue Ying was overjoyed and confused at the same time. "I also thought that I had successfully refined it, but I didn't do anything. I only released a drop of blood according to what you said, and I succeeded?"
The Artifact Spirit sneered. "Dong Bo, do you really think you can refine a defensive treasure like the Black Gourd with your cultivation base? The Black Gourd itself contains the mysteries of the array, don't you feel it yourself? "
"I feel it."
Dongbo Xue Ying transmitted his voice over. "Over 600,000 years, what I have comprehended is only the tip of the iceberg. I don't have the slightest confidence in refining it! "
"Hmph, this is a formation that can suppress and control fireballs. Not to mention you, even your master, Blood Blade, can't refine such a formation!" "An Exalted expert, let alone a million years, even if he had ten billion years … he still wouldn't be able to refine it by himself."
"Then why did Senior Voidwalker set the third test? Why does he have to refine it within a million years?" Dongbo Xue Ying asked curiously.
"It's simple."
The Artifact Spirit explained. "There are three tests. For the first test, if you can obtain the Black Gourd, it proves that your overall potential has reached a higher level. The second test is a test of your perception. After all, there are very few Voidwalkers, and not everyone is qualified to cultivate them. Your perception has passed the test. The third test … is a test of your temperament! "
"Temperament?" Dongbo Xue Ying's heart skipped a beat.
"If you're an evil being, the stronger you are, the more harm you will bring to the living beings. The earliest founder of the Voidwalkers was an extremely benevolent being. He did not even want to trample an ordinary ant to death. He had been to countless places, passed through countless universes, and helped countless weak and small living beings. He had long set the rule that his people did not seek to be kind, but he would never allow evil beings to cultivate his legacy. "
"So, the third test, refining the Black Gourd in a million years, is actually for me, the Artifact Spirit, to observe your every move and determine your temperament."
"If your temperament is evil … then I'll naturally leave after a million years."
"If you pass the temperament test, I'll let you drip a drop of blood to recognize me as your master after a million years."
"The original duration of the test was a million years, but you brat just had to seek your own death. No matter what, after 600,000 years, I've seen your character clearly. You've treated your disciples, your old friends and brothers, and your race … you've done all of these very well! Even when you travel around the cosmos in search of opportunities to refine the Black Gourd, you didn't kill the innocent and lived in seclusion in the mortal world. You even treated the weak mortals with respect and politeness … "
"You've passed the temperament test too."
Dongbo Xue Ying finally understood. It seemed that the final test had always been in the hands of this Artifact Spirit! That's right, Senior Voidwalker was no longer around. He must have arranged everything for the Artifact Spirit.
…
As Dongbo Xue Ying was conversing with the Artifact Spirit, he delayed his actions.
It allowed the protectors from the Ancestor Mother Religion sufficient time to react. They were so frightened that they quickly hid in their treasures, leaving behind the golden-haired monkey and the other three apex protectors! They were all staring at Dongbo Xue Ying, or more accurately, at the Black Gourd in Dongbo Xue Ying's hand. Their eyes were filled with terror and fury.
"Dongbo Xue Ying, why didn't you act?" Heavenly Emperor of Great Destruction transmitted.
"What's going on? It was such a good opportunity just now, yet you didn't act. Now, they're hiding inside." White Sovereign King also transmitted a question. He could not blame Dongbo Xue Ying, just that this was clearly not in accordance with the plan he had set.
"Brother Dongbo?" Paragon Huo Cheng shouted out too.
Dongbo Xue Ying only reacted after hearing the transmission by his ear. He could not help but turn to the group of Paragons in the distance. Heavenly Emperor of Great Destruction, White Sovereign King, Devil Phoenix, Mysterious North Imperial Empress, and others were all looking at Dongbo Xue Ying. The Paragons from the side of the cultivators were also looking at Dongbo Xue Ying. After all, he was the crux of the matter.
"I'm ashamed."
Dongbo Xue Ying transmitted, "This strange treasure of mine is extremely hard to use. Just when I was about to use it, I suddenly had a sudden enlightenment, greatly improving my control over the treasure. Currently, I can still use it a few more times, and not just once. But because I had a sudden enlightenment, I was delayed. "
"Sudden enlightenment? You can still use it a few more times? "The group of Paragons was startled and delighted.
Previously, they felt that their chances of victory were slim.
At this moment, they felt that their chances of victory were extremely high. However, many of them felt slightly guilty. Even Heavenly Emperor of Great Destruction transmitted over, "Dong Bo Xue Ying, I'm sorry. I did not think that you were in the midst of comprehension previously. That's why I transmitted over and destroyed your comprehension!"
"Dongbo Xue Ying, we were too anxious previously, and interrupted your enlightenment …" The Paragons all transmitted over.
They were clear how hard it was to obtain enlightenment!
Just a short moment of enlightenment had allowed his control over the Black Gourd to greatly improve. If he had comprehended for a longer period of time, his control over the Black Gourd might have improved further. It's a pity that it was disrupted by them.
"It's fine." Dongbo Xue Ying was speechless. He had casually found an excuse. After all, he could not possibly say that this was the third trial set by the Voidwalker, and that he had passed it.
And on the other side.
The golden-haired monkey and the other three protectors from the Ancestor Mother Religion who were prepared to die felt puzzled: 'This Dongbo Xue Ying should have suddenly used that Black Gourd strange treasure to kill us all. Why didn't he? Unless he failed to use it? That's right. How could it be that easy to use such a strange treasure consecutively? Perhaps he might not be able to use the Black Gourd anymore! If that's the case, without the threat of the Black Gourd, we will definitely win! '
