"It's simple. At first, it's to increase Spiritual Power. This depends on consuming the spirituality of different items. We're different individuals, so the spirituality of the items we need is different as well. For example, I only need the spirituality of clothes and armors. I can't absorb anything else. After increasing it to a certain level, I need to form five Spiritual Power Flowers in my body. The five Spiritual Power Flowers will absorb the rest of the Spiritual Power, bloom, and bear fruit. Only one fruit will be produced. If I succeed, I'll enter the second stage. We call it the Spiritual Fruit stage. "
San Bu paused, as if waiting for Lu Sheng to digest the information.
"After that is the third stage. The Spiritual Fruit will sprout and grow into a small sapling. The sapling will grow many branches and spread to its entire body, forming a new body structure. This is the final, complete form. At the complete form, ordinary Protectors have reached their limit. Only a few Protectors can continue to evolve and cultivate. Some powerful individuals can even reach fourth, fifth, or sixth level. The difference in power between different levels is like heaven and earth. In the legends, there are even Life Kings above ninth level. "San Bu's tone revealed a deep yearning.
"I understand … Alright, go and rest." Lu Sheng nodded.
He had more or less obtained the information he wanted. Since Deep Blue had formed a frame, it meant that although he could not sense Spiritual Power, his body had mastered it.
Not being able to sense it meant that he could not control it. However, it was enough as long as Deep Blue could derive and improve it. The rest was nothing more than piling up Mental Energy.
Lu Sheng did not have much of anything else, but he had a lot of Mental Energy!
If it wasn't for the Infinite Dark Flame, his Mental Energy would be many times more.
After sending San Bu off, Lu Sheng quickly tidied up the room and cleaned up all traces of the ritual. After making sure there were no more problems, he slowly walked out of the room. There were already servants waiting outside the courtyard.
The servants in the villa would be replaced every once in a while. This was to prevent the servants from learning secrets they shouldn't have if they stayed too long.
He opened the courtyard door with a creak. Lu Sheng looked at the servant, Shui Lu, who was guarding the door.
"What time is it now?"
Shui Lu was stunned. She looked at the sky and replied hurriedly.
"About … about three o 'clock?" The time here was divided into 24 hours, but the names of the hours were based on numbers.
Three o 'clock represented the sixth hour of the day, which was six o' clock. Six o'clock in the morning.
Lu Sheng nodded and was about to leave.
"Eldest Young Master, do you want to have breakfast? This servant will bring you the menu right away! "Shui Lu quickly said.
"There's no need. I'm just going out for a walk. "Lu Sheng smiled.
"Yes … yes …" Shui Lu didn't dare to say more and could only bow his head.
Lu Sheng left his courtyard and slowly walked along the corridor towards the backyard.
Liancao Hall was located in the last row of the backyard. That was the place where the family usually held ceremonies, but Lu Sheng did not plan to go there.
He planned to see what the place where the evil spirits were sealed was like.
As he walked, he began to control Deepblue. First, he clicked on Deepblue's modify button and activated the derivation authority. Then, he pressed the deduce button for the unknown Spiritual Power Method.
As he had expected, the Unknown Spiritual Power Technique quickly broke through the Basic Rank and entered the Stable Rank. It cost him two units of Mental Energy.
Moreover, as his Spiritual Power increased, Lu Sheng was pleasantly surprised to find that his body no longer felt swollen and painful. This meant that there was more room for improvement in the strength of his body.
Without any hesitation, he decided to use his Spiritual Power as the main source, and quickly added Mental Energy to it.
The distance from his courtyard to the end of the backyard was a few hundred meters. But for Lu Sheng, this few hundred meters was enough for him to complete the transition from the Basic Rank to the Spiritual Fruit Rank.
After the Basic Rank was the Stable Rank, Minor Rank, Great Rank, Limit Rank, and then the derivation continued. The Spiritual Power Method actually circulated in a special way that Lu Sheng had never imagined. It circulated rapidly, and a Spiritual Flower formed an inch outside the skin of his chest.
There were five Spiritual Flowers in total. This time, Lu Sheng could really see them. He could vaguely see five transparent flowers floating in the air in front of his chest, as if the air had become a part of his body.
After that, Lu Sheng wanted to continue the derivation, but he was shocked to find that he still had a lot of Mental Energy, but the derivation button was gone.
He had no choice but to give up for now. It was probably a system that he had never seen before. Even with his current knowledge and experience, he couldn't deduce the next part of the upgrade method.
He couldn't follow the Protectors either. After all, the Protectors were completely different from humans.
"Bam."
Lu Sheng pushed open the tightly shut door of the old manor.
This old manor was where the Evil Spirit Seal was hidden in the Purple Smoke Manor.
After the door was pushed open, two tall men in silver armor stood on the left and right. The two of them were drinking hot tea as they chatted.
Suddenly, the door opened. Seeing that it was Lu Sheng, the two were shocked at first, but then relieved.
"Young Master, what are you doing here so early? What if an Evil Spirit comes up? You don't have this Evil-Warding Armor to protect you like us," the guard on the left frowned and said in a low voice. "Go back quickly. This isn't a place you should be. "
Lu Sheng looked past them and saw a pitch-black hole on the ground that seemed to have been smashed open.
"Where's Dad?"
"The manor master came here last night and dealt with the Evil Spirit that leaked out. It went well," the guard replied.
"You've worked hard. I've brought the Protectors with me. I plan to go down and take a look." Lu Sheng smiled.
"Young Master, you must be joking. You didn't even use the manor's ceremony. Even if you summoned the Protectors in private, the strength of the summoned ones is far from enough. You should go back. It's too dangerous here … "the two guards continued to persuade him. Fortunately, they had just dealt with the Evil Spirit last night. The Evil Spirit wouldn't leak out so frequently, so they didn't force Lu Sheng out.
"It's fine. The Evil Spirit can't leak out so quickly, right?" Lu Sheng smiled.
"Young Master …" The guard on the right wanted to say something, but Lu Sheng dashed forward and jumped into the black hole in the blink of an eye, entering it with a swoosh.
The two guards looked at each other. They wanted to chase after him, but they couldn't react in time.
"Forget it. The Evil Spirit has just been dealt with. The fastest recorded time was once every three days. There's never been once every two days or once a day. He should be fine. "One of the guards smiled bitterly.
"I can feel the Protectors around Young Master. I think he should be fine. Sigh … "
The two guards were helpless. But they couldn't catch up with him now that he had gone in.
…
Inside the dark and damp cave.
Lu Sheng counted the oil lamps hanging on the wall while calculating how far he had walked. The distance between the oil lamps on the wall was exactly the same, so he could use them as a reference.
The interior of the cave was pitch-black. The ground was covered with thick black gravel, which made cracking sounds when he walked on it.
Lu Sheng sniffed the air and spread his spirit around to sense the changes in his surroundings.
A faint sense of familiarity slowly rose in his heart.
'This aura … Is it the aura of the Evil Spirit in the Gate of Illusion that's guarding the Eastern Sea?' He immediately recalled the source of the aura.
'If it's really the same thing, then it's going to be difficult …' Lu Sheng frowned.
The Evil Spirit in the Gate of Illusion was terrifyingly powerful. It was probably at least a Weapon Grandmaster. Otherwise, with the strength of a Weapon Grandmaster, it could enter the Gate of Illusion and deal with the Evil Spirit once and for all.
Instead of sending someone to guard it.
Lu Sheng's thoughts raced as he walked. Gradually, he began to fear the seal in his heart.
If someone could see the scene in his heart, they would see that the main body in his heart was gripping the black raven sculpture tightly, ready to crush it at any time.
"Crack … crack … crack …"
The footsteps came one after another. He had no idea how long he had been walking. He finally reached the end. A brass door that was more than ten meters tall appeared in front of him.
Three patterns of dark clouds, flying fish, and leaves were carved in the middle of the door. A circle of white bone arms was carved on the edge. From afar, it looked as if the arms were hugging the door tightly.
Lu Sheng walked up to the door. He immediately noticed that the door was slightly open, revealing a slit that was as thick as a finger.
'Another brass door …' He was reminded of the brass door that led to the World of Pain he saw in the Golden Ruin.
At this point, the Evil Spirit's aura grew thicker. Even if Lu Sheng closed his eyes and did not sense it carefully, he could still smell the strange Evil Spirit in the air.
'Since Spiritual Power can suppress this Evil Spirit … then …' Lu Sheng reached out and gently pressed on the brass door.
"Boom!"
The moment he touched the material of the door, Lu Sheng felt as if a bomb had gone off in his mind. Countless Mental Energy surged madly into his body. It was as if a huge dam that had been accumulating for countless years had suddenly found a breach.
A terrifying amount of Mental Energy surged into Lu Sheng's body. Then, it was swallowed by Deep Blue like a whale. It wrapped around the cavity in his chest.
"Crack …"
Slowly, the brass door opened a slit. A slit big enough for Lu Sheng to pass through.
At this moment, the rush of Mental Energy finally stopped.
Lu Sheng slowly recovered from the shock. He looked at the slit in front of him. He hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward with determination. He walked through the slit.
Behind the door was a hall that was as wide as a palace. Facing the door was a strong man who sat on a sinister-looking pitch-black stone seat.
The man's eyes were closed. He seemed to be asleep. He wore a pitch-black, skin-tight armor embroidered with stars, the sun, and the moon. He sat upright. From the countless scars and dents on the armor, one could tell that he had experienced countless terrifying battles.
"After so many years, another person who can contain Spiritual Power with a human body has finally entered …" The man did not open his eyes. He did not speak, but his voice traveled directly into Lu Sheng's ears.
"Who are you?" Lu Sheng stood in front of the door, ready to crush the crow statue at any moment.
"Me?" The man's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle but strange smile. "Just a loser. A loser who has been sealed here for countless years. "
The language he used was strange. It was as if his voice was accompanied by countless overlapping harmonies, mixed with syllables from all the languages that Lu Sheng knew. But strangely enough, he could understand the meaning. It was not just a simple Spiritual Power Vibration.
"What do you want me to do by letting me in?" Lu Sheng asked calmly. He did not think that this mysterious man would open the door and let him in for no reason.
This was the place where the evil spirits were sealed. It was not an ordinary place.
"Aren't you afraid?" The man seemed a little strange. "Oh, right … you have a strange aura on you. This aura … seems to be that of a Heavenly Devil … but with a Heavenly Devil possessing you, you can still be so rational? You can even cultivate Spiritual Power? How strange … "
Lu Sheng waited calmly for the man to state his purpose. He stood in front of the door without saying a word.
"The Heavenly Devil can't be killed completely, but it's a part of you. You look … strange … The Heavenly Devil looks more like your original body." The man was surprised.
"Is that so?" Lu Sheng was ready to step back and leave.
"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. "The man smiled slightly." The evil spirits here are used to seal a part of me. They are a scourge to ordinary people, but the part that leaks out doesn't matter to you. "
"What do you want to do? Just say it." Lu Sheng said calmly. He could not sense the depth of the man, nor did he know how strong he was. But facing this man, he felt like he was facing the vast starry sky. It was the same feeling he had when he first saw the Eight-Headed Griffon.
Intuition told him not to provoke this man, or the consequences would be unpredictable.
"It's simple. I admire your way of doing things. You're just like me back then, so I wanted to ask you to come in and talk to me. "The man said something that made Lu Sheng speechless.
"Can I say I don't have time?" Lu Sheng was speechless.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you a secret in exchange for your company." The man continued with a smile. "A secret?"
"Yes … a big secret about you Heavenly Devils. A big secret that will let you see the situation you're in now … "
