"What is it?" Lin Huang immediately asked.
"I've told you before that my ability belongs to the soul. I've mastered many secret skills related to the soul." The stone tablet then explained slowly, "There's a set of skills that should be able to solve your problem."
"What kind of skill?" Lin Huang asked doubtfully.
"It's a Soul Visualization Skill." The stone tablet did not explain further.
"Do you mean that I can visualize a true god-level beast soul as a container for the Divine Fire in my body?" Lin Huang immediately understood after hearing what the stone tablet said.
Lin Huang knew a thing or two about the Soul Visualization Skill. Such a skill usually allowed one to visualize an item and simulate the corresponding beast soul in one's body. The item could be a monster carcass, a skeleton, a statue, a portrait, and so on. However, such a skill was extremely difficult to cultivate. Moreover, it had a high requirement on one's ability to understand and have great potential. If one's ability to understand and have poor potential were not good enough, it would be difficult to even get started with a normal visualization skill, let alone a true god-level visualization skill.
"That's right. Are you interested in giving it a try?" The stone tablet sounded tempting.
"What's the price?" Lin Huang knew very well that a visualization skill that could visualize a true god-level beast soul was extremely expensive. It was impossible for the stone tablet to give it to him for free.
The stone tablet fell into silence as soon as it asked. Lin Huang did not rush it. Instead, he waited patiently for the stone tablet's answer.
After a while, the stone tablet seemed to have made up its mind. It then said, "I'd like to leave a clone in your body."
Lin Huang frowned when he heard that. If the stone tablet were to enter his body, many of his secrets would be revealed to it. This request had already exceeded the bottom line of what he could accept.
"I don't mean to pry into your privacy. It's just that my real body is trapped in this burial ground. There's only one way to leave, which is to find a new host. I won't force you to be my new host if you don't agree to be my new host. However, I hope that you can leave with my clone. That way, I can see the outside world through my clone. It'll be easier for me to find a suitable new host. " The stone tablet could guess what Lin Huang was worried about. In fact, every traveler who possessed a Goldfinger would have the same concern. "I can create a shield imprint to block my doppelgangers from probing you. That way, you won't have to worry about your privacy being discovered by me."
[Say yes!]
At this time, Little Black's voice suddenly came.
"Are you sure?" Lin Huang was stunned and immediately communicated with Little Black through his consciousness.
[I can agree to his request, but I have a request. I'm worried about the shield that he created himself …]
After some communication, Lin Huang accepted Little Black's suggestion.
"Alright, I promise you, but I have a request." Lin Huang raised the condition that he had discussed with Xiao Hei earlier. "I don't need you to create a shielding mark. You just need to maintain the strength of the clones you create below a two-star Goldfinger."
"No problem. Actually, with my current strength, I can only create a 3-star doppelganger at most, and the consumption is not small. Anyway, I only need a probing effect to find the host. Two stars are enough, "the stone tablet agreed right away. "I'll pass the skill to you first."
As soon as the stone tablet was done speaking, a golden glow shot out and penetrated between Lin Huang's eyebrows.
"This visualization skill is called the True Spirit Guide. There are 183 portraits of true spirit-level monsters, which are the so-called true god-level monsters. There are detailed descriptions of all the monsters in the guide. You can choose whichever you want to visualize. Once the visualization is successful, a monster soul will be formed in the form of a monster egg. You'll need to fill it with spiritual energy that's equivalent to a demigod's spiritual strength for the monster egg to hatch. Of course, you don't have to kill demigod-level monsters. You can kill monsters with low combat strength to accumulate spiritual energy. "
"Although the monster egg's combat strength will only be on demigod-level when it hatches, the nature of its soul will still be on the true spirit-level. It won't be afraid of the Divine Fire in your body. It'll be enough to be the Divine Fire's container."
As the stone tablet explained, Lin Huang quickly went through the True Spirit Guide in his head. He confirmed that the skill was indeed useful to him.
"Alright, you can create the clone now."
"Give me a minute." After getting Lin Huang's confirmation, the size of the stone tablet began to expand rapidly. Within a few seconds, it returned to its original size and turned into a giant that was much bigger than a star.
As soon as it returned to its original form, the shadow of the stone tablet slowly left the stone tablet as if its soul had left its body. It looked like a phantom image that was not real.
As time passed, the shadow slowly left the stone tablet and the overlap between it and the stone tablet decreased. Approximately five minutes later, the shadow finally left the stone tablet completely. It looked almost exactly the same as the stone tablet, but it looked like a semi-transparent virtual projection.
As soon as it was separated from its original form, the shadow began to shrink rapidly. Within a few breaths, it had shrunk to the size of the stone tablet which was three meters tall. However, it did not stop shrinking. Instead, it shrunk to the size of a palm as Lin Huang watched in shock.
The gigantic stone tablet had shrunk into a token that looked like a tombstone. It then floated in front of Lin Huang.
"This clone of mine only has the basic functions of a Two-Star Goldfinger. You're allowed to use these functions, but you can't use them for free. You'll need to pay an equivalent amount of spiritual energy." The fact that the stone tablet had allowed him to use its functions was out of Lin Huang's expectation. As for the equivalent exchange, it was actually a fair rule. One must know that using Xiao Hei's functions was not free.
"To facilitate its operation, I've given it an independent consciousness and most of my memory. It's almost equivalent to a semi-finished Two-Star Goldfinger. I hope you guys can get along well. "
As soon as the stone tablet finished speaking, the token clone flew around Lin Huang and turned into a golden glow before entering the space between Lin Huang's eyebrows.
Lin Huang immediately looked into the world in his body. The stone tablet clone flew around the world in his body. It noticed Xiao Hei's existence, but it did not provoke Xiao Hei. Instead, it landed somewhere a certain distance away from Xiao Hei.
As soon as the token clone settled down, its body began to grow. However, it only grew to the size of an ordinary planet. Lin Huang also noticed that the stone tablet clone was different from its previous shadow state. It now looked like a solid entity.
Now, Lin Huang was completely relieved.
"Since the deal is done, I'll send you out now if you don't have any other questions," the stone tablet said after seeing that Lin Huang's consciousness had returned to his body.
Lin Huang glanced at the void and thought to himself for a moment. Eventually, he could not resist his curiosity. "What kind of place is this starry sky? How did you pull me here? Did you teleport? "
"This starry sky doesn't really exist in the material world. It's a spiritual world. I didn't pull your body here, but your soul. Your body is still in front of the cliff, "the stone tablet explained.
"Then, why can't you leave? I remember Xiao Hei telling me that the Goldfinger will be retrieved when the host dies. It'll be redistributed, "Lin Huang asked again.
"That's because my previous host's soul didn't die completely. My contract with him hasn't been terminated. It's just an ownerless contract without any consciousness." The stone tablet explained further, "When I created this spiritual world back then, my host integrated a shred of his soul into it. Because of the shred of his soul, the contract between us can't be terminated. This spiritual world has become my prison. If I want to leave, I can only sign a new contract with a new host to replace the current ownerless contract. "
