At the critical moment, the remnant soul of Xuanwu was successfully awakened.
A bright light emerged from Xuanwu's mouth, and soon the remnant soul of Xuanwu entered Xie Zhou's spiritual world.
The blood energy surrounding Xie Zhou vanished instantly. Xie Zhou landed on the ground, coughing incessantly, while Xuanwu told Xie Zhou everything that had happened in the spiritual world.
"Thank you for awakening me, benefactor. To be honest, at that time, the paths of gods and demons were intertwined, and the two sides fought endlessly, which led to the great war. During this ancient war between gods and demons, my body was corrupted by an ancient demon, and only my remnant soul was preserved. However, after a long period of erosion by blood energy, my remnant soul was assimilated."
"I have been tormented by it for thousands of years, but I am grateful to my benefactor for awakening me and saving my life!"
Xie Zhou's vision gradually cleared, and she looked at the Xuanwu that was gradually appearing in front of her. He looked like a porcelain doll, with an extra layer of armor on his back, but there were always some bloodstains on his face. He closed his eyes slightly, his eyelids were closed, and his aura was somewhat weak.
Fortunately, Xuanwu's remnant soul finally awakened, and all the suffering Xie Zhou had endured vanished in an instant. Although these ancient demonic beasts were called demonic beasts, their aura was comparable to that of immortals.
The surrounding blood energy seemed to have lost its source of life, and the Xuanwu's true form had gradually dissipated into the air, turning into dust and merging into nature. Only the remnant soul of the Xuanwu remained firmly in Xie Zhou's spiritual world.
The blood energy was restless, constantly surging and stirring within the Xuanwu's tomb, roaring and circling around it.
"Ahhh...hoho..."
The sound was somewhat harsh, but it did not bother Xie Zhou at all, as she was talking to the remnant soul of Xuanwu.
The blood energy trailed a long tail, its aura constantly churning. This entire tomb could be transformed into a tranquil place. Xie Zhou, however, kept her eyes closed, as if her mind had wandered far away.
"Xuanwu, are you sure you want to do this?"
Xie Zhou was somewhat incredulous, her face full of confusion. The system remained silent, unable to offer a reasonable explanation for Xuanwu's actions, and simply let him go...
The tall and elegant Xuanwu in front of him was so white that it was almost transparent. The impact on his remnant soul was quite significant!
He pursed his thin lips slightly, bowed forward, his expression unwavering; his mind was made up.
"Consider this my benefactor's way of fulfilling my vow. I originally thought that the blood energy wouldn't make me lose my mind, but it seems I was too presumptuous. I almost pushed my benefactor into the abyss. It was all my fault. Now my physical body is destroyed."
"With my current crippled strength, I am powerless to reverse the situation. Therefore, I beg my benefactor to accept my inherited power and help you break through your cultivation level and cultivate a new method. Only then will I feel at ease. I believe you are already aware of the dangers of that blood energy. For the sake of future generations, I will use all my strength and expend my primordial spirit to make that barrier disappear."
"If those blood energies were to break free of their shackles and spread to all corners of the land, it would surely cause a great uproar. Those with the ability could eliminate them. Moreover, the ancient demon that devoured my body intends to make a comeback. Those blood energies were its clones. We need to subdue it to achieve peace. Only then can I rest assured and put my mind at ease!"
"Please grant my request, my benefactor!"
Xie Zhou was deeply moved by Xuanwu's words, and seeing his insistence, she agreed.
If they didn't agree, Xuanwu was actually willing to fight those things to the death rather than let them live. Xuanwu truly shouldered a heavy responsibility.
Xie Zhou eventually agreed after being persistently pleaded with him.
"Alright, let me lend you a hand, those evil forces..."
Xuanwu was also extremely grateful and said, "Thank you very much, benefactor. However, that ancient demon is very difficult to deal with, and this journey is extremely dangerous. Please make sure you have a foolproof plan. Xuanwu will also entrust all of my inherited power to benefactor, and my remnant soul will also help benefactor protect the Dharma and improve his cultivation..."
"Um……"
Xuanwu and Xie Zhou touched palms together, and several phantom images of Xuanwu appeared between his eyebrows, surrounding Xie Zhou.
He slowly transferred all his inherited power to Xie Zhou. Circles of true energy and power slowly climbed up his arm, drawn from Xuanwu's body and flowing into Xie Zhou's body through his connected palms.
The power of Xuanwu was not as domineering and tyrannical as that of Qinglong. Instead, it was like a gentle stream, carrying a hint of coolness as it circulated within Xie Zhou's body. Xie Zhou quickly adapted to this, and soon the power of Xuanwu's inheritance was completely transferred. Xie Zhou felt relaxed, while Xuanwu was even weaker than before.
His lips, which had initially had a touch of color, were now completely devoid of color. His face was deathly pale. Xie Zhou rushed over to support him, but he raised his hand and said, "Everyone has their own destiny, the six realms of reincarnation, the six categories of gods and demons... I will have it, but I beg my benefactor to help me with my final wish..."
The figure quickly disappeared before Xie Zhou's eyes, leaving only flickering lights. Xie Zhou could only sigh at the impermanence of life.
But when he turned around, he saw three phantom images of Xuanwu surrounding him, which turned out to be formed by his remnant soul using its last strength.
Then Xuanwu's ethereal voice came over, "This is the last protection for our benefactor. They will help our benefactor accelerate their cultivation. Take care..."
After recovering from her mental state, Xie Zhou felt something in her hand. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a piece of Xuanwu's armor. She placed it in her storage space and wrapped it with spiritual energy, believing that the ancient demon beast wouldn't die so quickly.
She sat cross-legged, protected by the remnant soul. Xie Zhou closed her eyes and felt the power gathering in her dantian, the power inherited from Xuanwu. She began to digest the inheritance of Xuanwu.
"Hoo... A hundred thoughts turn to anger... the six senses open and close... there are no taboos!"
Xie Zhou began to learn about the cultivation methods that Xuanwu had previously told her, and a core of essence slowly condensed in his palm, a manifestation of the power of inheritance.
After some time, Xie Zhou used the power of Xuanwu's inheritance to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique and quickly broke through to the ninth level.
When Xie Zhou opened his eyes again, there were already streaks of starlight gathered in them.
After she regained consciousness, the system immediately reported the good news: "Host has finally completed the Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique! Host's strength has increased once again, dealing with that so-called ancient demon should be a piece of cake."
Xie Zhou then decided to try this move. She swiftly extinguished the several strands of blood energy that were entangled behind her. A wicked smile curled at the corner of Xie Zhou's lips. "Ancient demon, you wait..."
