Qi Zhiheng received Yue Husou's answer and made some preparations in his mind.
The nine-story clock tower wasn't particularly tall, and since both of them possessed cultivation, they quickly reached the top floor.
The sounds from the inner chambers hadn't stopped yet. The entire Golden Bell chimed on its own, without anyone controlling it.
The floor was still the same as when they had come to check before; there were no formations on it.
At this moment, the Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable took out some things from his person.
First, there was a blanket, which he laid on the floor.
Qi Zhiheng saw the bright array patterns below...
He thought to himself, "Can't you be a little more careful? This stuff has been seen completely."
Qi Zhiheng, most puzzled, asked, "What are you planning to do, senior?"
"The ground is dirty, so it's more convenient to meditate here." The Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable didn't feel ashamed at all when he lied.
Qi Zhiheng had never seen such a careless swindler!
This Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable must have been spending too much time alone, and his brain has probably gone haywire, right?
Thinking about it, the possibility is quite high. Suddenly, the gazes of those secretly observing the Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable were tinged with a hint of sympathy.
The Seeking Dao Spiritual Venerable found his observation somewhat puzzling: "What? You like to sit on the ground?"
"No! It's fine as is. I'm a clean person, and I just feel that this kind of rough work should be done by me. How could I trouble your hands?" Qi Zhiheng said with a straight face, trying to cover up his lie.
The Seeking Dao Spiritual Venerable shook his head and said, "I can do it, you can sit down."
After giving Qi Zhiheng his instructions, he set up a table with paper and pens on it.
The paper and ink are specially made and are different from ordinary paper and ink.
Qi Zhiheng sat down as instructed, awaiting the next move from the Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable.
Xun Daodao said, "Open the second page first."
Qi Zhiheng opened the second page, which was the page containing the Spiritual Contract. He then looked at the Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable, waiting for his instructions on the second step.
The Seeking Dao Spiritual Venerable continued, "First, copy what is written above. Remember, don't make any mistakes."
Qi Zhiheng frowned deeply: "Senior, this...this is probably not quite appropriate."
"Is there anything wrong with it?" Seeking the Dao Spirit Venerable didn't seem to care.
Qi Zhiheng explained earnestly, "It's like this, I'm not very sensitive to these symbols, so it would be difficult for me to write them out completely in one go."
Seeking the Dao Spiritual Venerable waved his hand: "Try it and let me see first."
"This junior obeys." Qi Zhiheng picked up paper and pen and began to copy it. He had not forgotten that the moon beast had asked him to stall for time, so his writing was crooked and not a single symbol could be perfectly copied.
"Stop! Your handwriting is already a mess, what are you going to do? Move on to the next page, don't waste my ink!" The Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable looked at the crooked symbols on the paper, displeased. He had very little ink left!
Qi Zhiheng had no choice but to take out the next sheet and continue writing. This time, the first character on the second sheet was written more neatly, but he made the same mistake again starting from the second character.
Xun Dao, standing at a row of tables, shouted, "Can't you concentrate for once! Look at what you've written!"
Qi Zhiheng feigned helplessness: "It's all my fault for being so dull! But senior, these symbols seem to be hindered by some unseen force; I can never write them well on the first try."
The Seeking Dao Spiritual Venerable recalled the function of these spiritual words, which were indeed different from ordinary texts. He felt that continuing like this was not a solution, so he said, "Then you should continue. Just practice a few more times."
Qi Zhiheng nodded repeatedly to show that he understood, and then began to copy it.
The study of these texts was indeed quite difficult at first; even with Qi Zhiheng's strong soul power, it was still somewhat hard to understand. His first attempt at copying them was truly a process of making a fool of himself.
Although there weren't many words on this page, it still took quite a bit of time to copy it all over the first time. Even the finished product doesn't look very good; it's ugly! It's really too ugly.
Although it might be ineffective to write something so ugly, Qi Zhiheng still kept his mind to himself and wrote a few dozen fewer words, lest he accidentally succeed.
After making the first contact, the Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable showed no intention of taking a serious look at the handwriting; it was so ugly that he didn't even want to glance at it.
Qi Zhiheng secretly found it amusing to see the disdainful look on Xun Dao Ling Zun's face.
Next, he copied two more pages, crooked and messy. This time he was really faking it. He made an excuse and said, "Hey! Senior, it's really not my fault. The bell has been ringing non-stop, and I'm getting restless and can't calm down."
As Qi Zhiheng spoke, the Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable frowned and looked up at the golden bell above his head.
“Then let’s make him stop for now,” said the Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable.
Qi Zhiheng was somewhat puzzled: "Senior, you can stop the bell from ringing? That's truly remarkable."
The Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable looked somewhat smug: "Needless to say, the entire palace is under my control."
As soon as he finished speaking, the chimes above his head stopped ringing abruptly.
Qi Zhiheng had many guesses in his mind. If he could control the entire palace, what must be the situation? He had already thought of two things.
First, he is the owner of this palace.
Secondly, it is the spirit of this palace.
Qi Zhiheng was initially inclined towards the first answer, but when he thought about the method that might require him to merge himself into a spirit, and connected all of this, it was indeed possible that the Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable was also a spirit.
It's too early to say for sure; we'll have to wait for the Moon Beast to give its conclusion.
For now, let's put this matter aside. Seeing that the other party had stopped the bell ringing, Qi Zhiheng carefully copied the document once more, and this time the result was quite impressive.
Seeing that he had made progress this time, the Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable felt much better.
Qi Zhiheng delayed for about an hour, and finally the Moon Beast received the news.
The meaning of the words in the incantation is: I voluntarily offer myself as the spirit of the vessel, to guard the entire small world of the clock tower.
Qi Zhiheng was confused after reading it: "Becoming a weapon spirit means becoming a weapon spirit. What does it mean to voluntarily sacrifice oneself to replace it?"
The moon beast said, "Isn't the meaning obvious? This space has a spirit, which means you are willing to replace the original spirit and become the new spirit. This small world of the clock tower is probably this somewhat strange small world."
Qi Zhiheng was surprised that his previous guess was actually true. He asked, "Senior Moon Goddess, may I ask if this incantation can be changed?"
The moon beast asked疑惑地问道：“How do you want to change it?”
Qi Zhiheng had a bit of ambition: "I remember that high-level mobile mini-worlds can actually devour low-level mini-spaces, right?"
The moon beast nodded and said, "That is indeed true. You don't mean to think of devouring this small space, do you?"
Qi Zhiheng nodded: "That's exactly what I was thinking."
“This is too dangerous. This space has a spirit. If you are in its space, its spatial advantage will be greater.” The moon beast did not agree with this idea.
Qi Zhiheng replied, “Senior Moon Goddess, you may not know this, but although he is the spirit of this world, he does not have complete control over this small world.”
"How did you know?" the moon beast asked, puzzled.
Qi Zhiheng smiled and said, "Because he himself said that he has complete control over the palace, but he cannot have complete control over the world outside the palace." After he and Yang Yitian left the palace last time, he didn't chase after them. From this point of view, he should not have been able to completely control this world yet.
The moon beast narrowed its eyes and said, "If that's the case, then your chances are indeed higher."
Qi Zhiheng said, "Moreover, we don't know when we can leave this world. Presumably, he can't leave because he is a spirit of a weapon. So, if we just take over this world, we should be able to leave."
This is all he can think of right now.
However, he still had a slight concern: he didn't know if the Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable could understand the changes he had made to the spiritual incantation.
"Don't be afraid. I think he's just illiterate. These words aren't so easy to understand. Even I have to look them up to interpret their meaning. What does a half-baked amateur like him know?" the Moon Beast comforted him. He himself would have to consult ancient texts to understand them, and he truly looked down on that dabbler.
"Then please help me revise it quickly," Qi Zhiheng said.
The Moon Beast reviewed the ancient texts again, then began to revise them, changing the original phrase, "I voluntarily offer myself as a spirit to guard the entire Clock Tower mini-world," to "I voluntarily receive the spirit and merge with the entire Clock Tower mini-world."
Qi Zhiheng quickly read through the contents and then began to write them down on paper.
This time, after Qi Zhiheng copied it completely, the entire mentally challenged person turned to ashes. The clock tower bells rang again.
Qi Zhiheng felt the power of the Heavenly Dao in his heart and immediately exhaled.
Presumably, the Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable, being the spirit of the artifact, also sensed something unusual. He happily exclaimed, "Good, good, good!" His expression of "good" indicated that he was indeed in a good mood.
The long-cherished wish of the Spirit Lord was about to be fulfilled, so he was naturally in a good mood.
He said happily, "You've done well! Heaven has recognized your cultivation, and you can begin cultivating now."
Qi Zhiheng felt awkward. What did Mi Ming mean by "Heaven has recognized your cultivation"? He felt a little ashamed…
But Qi Zhiheng had to keep up the act! So he pretended to be trembling with fear and asked, "Is that enough? Does the disappearance of that mentally challenged person mean that the Heavenly Dao has approved of it?"
"That's right! You should start cultivating now!" the Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable urged.
Qi Zhiheng sat down cross-legged and said, "Shall we start from the first page?"
The Seeking Dao Spiritual Venerable nodded and said, "Yes, first use spiritual energy to follow the meridian diagram." He was so eager that he almost forgot about this.
Qi Zhiheng certainly wouldn't follow the instructions in the picture; he just pretended to do it and asked, "And then, senior?"
The Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable said, "Then we began to switch cultivation methods."
