Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Demon Sealing Monument

"Yes, House Master."

The man in red robe took the token, and both he and the man in blue robe bowed respectfully, not daring to slacken off.

Their awe of the young man stemmed from their bones, from the depths of their souls...

Even if this young man were to command them to their deaths, they would not frown for an instant.

Because, he is their House Master...

In their hearts, the House Master’s status is unparalleled and supreme!

"Proceed, you may leave now!"

The young man said indifferently, and the figures of the two old men began to crumble into pieces and completely disappeared as soon as his words fell.

The speed was so fast, that it only left behind two solid afterimages.

Then, once again, only the young man was left in the vast palace.

"It’s been more than twenty years... These past years, my soul has been continually suppressed even though it was still there. Now, the ’Soul Split’ of Black Nether has vanished along with his ’primary soul’, I finally regained control of my body!"

The young man stood there, his gaze as sharp as a sword, looking into the distance with a melancholic expression.

"Counting it up... I’ve been away for twenty-three years."

At some point, his eyes started to well up. It seemed that he was recalling something, appearing deeply aggrieved.

His face was full of complex emotions.

Sometimes full of guilt, sometimes full of love, and sometimes full of self-reproach...

Finally, he closed his eyes, tears trickling down his face, "If I could choose... I would rather have those missed twenty-three years again, than this extraordinary power!"

In the next moment, without seeing him make any move, his ’body’ crumbled...

As it turned out, it was just another afterimage.

The Marshland. In the depths of the giant pit.

The cave tunnel in the pit was incredibly hidden, let alone the ’existence’ at the end of this tunnel, akin to an underground palace.

Now, inside the great hall of the underground palace.

"The owner of that powerful ’soul’ just now seemed to mention his ’primary soul’? And something about ’Soul Split’... It seems that wasn’t his complete soul!"

Wyatt Barnes stood in his place, muttering to himself.

"But even this incomplete soul gave me a feeling that it was stronger than the soul of the Martial Emperor... Unfortunately, after his soul vanished, it didn’t leave me any memories. This was different from the Martial Emperor."

Wyatt Barnes took a deep breath, closing his eyes to recall that thrilling moment.

Eventually, he reached a conclusion.

Perhaps, the reason he was able to merge with the Martial Emperor’s life-long memories was because the soul of Martial Emperor had been lurking inside his body for many years...

However, the ’soul’ he just encountered belonged to an absolute ’outsider’.

"I’ve been too greedy... It was a lucky escape this time."

Wyatt Barnes opened his eyes, shaking his head with a sigh.

Humans are always insatiable, perhaps that was referring to his current situation.

In Wyatt Barnes’s heart, the existence of that soul which seemed to be even stronger than the Martial Emperor’s soul, filled him with awe and curiosity.

One can only imagine the immense wealth of knowledge held by such a strong being.

If he could obtain the other’s memories, it would undoubtedly be a great gain.

Perhaps he might even get something unexpected.

After all, in his perception, the other’s soul was even stronger than the Martial Emperor’s...

Eventually, Wyatt Barnes came back to his senses and his gaze fell back onto the broken stone tablet, "According to what that ’powerful soul’ said earlier, this tablet is the ’Demon Sealing Monument’... What exactly is this Demon Sealing Monument?"

Subconsciously, Wyatt Barnes reached out with his hand, intending to lift the Demon Sealing Monument for a closer look.

Just as he was about to grab it, Wyatt Barnes gave a bitter smile. He remembered that even with all his strength, Little Gold using the power of the third stage of Void Realm, was unable to move this monument even a bit.

Maybe he...

Before he could even complete his thought, it abruptly stopped.

Wyatt Barnes widened his eyes, staring at the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ held in his own hand, completely stupefied, "How... How could I possibly lift it?"

"Squeak~"

The golden mouse, Little Gold, was standing to the side. Seeing this, it was evidently shocked as well, and chirped in the Voice of Origin, "Brother Wyatt, how did you do that? You really lifted this strange stone tablet..."

"I don’t know either."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, then took a deep breath, "I did not feel any increase in my strength... So there’s only one possibility, the stone tablet has become lighter!"

"The stone tablet became light?"

Little Gold jumped onto the stone tablet at once.

Then, it used its claw to claw onto the stone tablet, and surprisingly, lifted the entire stone tablet up in the air.

"Squeak~"

The golden mouse, Little Gold, in high spirits, used the Voice of Origin to speak to Wyatt Barnes, "Brother Wyatt, it did become lighter... But, why did it suddenly become lighter?"

Yeah, why did it suddenly turn lighter?

Wyatt Barnes watched as the stone tablet was lifted by Little Gold, a shudder overwhelmed his heart, "Could it be because of that powerful soul just now? The reason why this stone tablet has regained its normal weight is because that soul has left it?"

Although it was hard to comprehend, Wyatt Barnes could only think of it this way right now.

"The Demon Sealing Monument... That fellow, could it be some creature sealed within this monument? Because my spiritual power extended into the monument, it paved a way for him and allowed it to escape from the Demon Sealing Monument?"

When he recalled what had happened just now and the words of the powerful soul before its dispersion, Wyatt could guess a few things.

"If that’s the case, I’m really shooting myself in the foot... Fortunately, my soul doesn’t belong to this world and is protected by some kind of rule. Otherwise, based on the incident just now, I would have certainly perished!"

Wyatt took another deep breath, with lingering fears.

He would never forget that scene and didn’t want to experience it again...

"This kind of thing might not happen to someone in a lifetime, but I’ve encountered it twice... My luck is really against the heavens."

Wyatt offered a bitter smile.

Gradually, Wyatt’s tumultuous mind softened. He took the mysterious ’Demon Sealing Monument’ from Little Gold and studied it for a while. After finding nothing, he casually tossed it into the ’Storage Ring’. "I’ll research it slowly later."

Although he didn’t know what the Demon Sealing Monument was or what it was used for.

But since the Demon Sealing Monument could seal such a powerful soul, it was presumably unique.

Subconsciously, Wyatt considered this to be a treasure, a rare treasure.

Then, Wyatt and Little Gold carefully searched in the main hall once again. After finding no trace of anything else, they prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Wyatt had Little Gold pluck off the only valuable nine ’Night Pearls’ in the main hall.

With no compunction, Wyatt put the nine Night Pearls into the Storage Ring, leading to the disappearance of daylight. The entire hall was engulfed in endless darkness, so dark that one could not see one’s fingers...

The darkness didn’t last long before a destructive blue flame lit up in Wyatt’s hand.

"What on earth happened back then?... This predecessor, Toury Barnes, was undoubtedly murdered by someone crushing his ribs."

Looking at Toury’s skeleton, Wyatt had a complex expression, "I wonder if my cheap old man is still alive... If he is, where would he go?"

Wyatt held no hope in his heart.

Toury Barnes, suspected to be the ’Elder Ancestor’ of the Barnes family who had reached the ’Peep Naught Realm’...

Even a Half-Peep Naught Realm cultivator died in the Marshland.

And his cheap old man was just a martial artist who had just stepped into the ’Original Infant Realm’ back then...

"Stay here, you are at peace."

Wyatt withdrew his gaze from the skeleton, took Little Gold, and left the main hall.

Return to where he came from.

When he was leaving, Wyatt had already become familiar with the cave passage. He hastened his pace, and within less than half an hour, he reached the exit.

"Little Gold, let’s go back."

He called out to Little Gold, sat on its enlarged body, left the large pit, and returned to the ground of the Marshland.

Then, Wyatt continued to explore.

In the end, he still didn’t find any clue about his dad...

After spending more than ten days, Wyatt almost turned the Marshland upside down, but found nothing.

"Perhaps this is the best outcome."

Wyatt took Little Gold and left the Marshland.

At this point, both human and mouse were exhausted.

In these ten-plus days, besides the irregular meals, they had been on constant guard against the attacks of demon beasts...

"Brother Wyatt, why don’t we go to a nearby city and have a meal in an inn?"

Outside the Marshland, Little Gold suggested, his pair of azure eyes filled with longing.

"You little fellow, are you craving again? Just in time, I also want to find an inn and take a good bath... Let’s go!"

Wyatt sat on Little Gold’s soft back, allowing it to fly with him.

Before long, they arrived at the outskirts of a city.

Fair Sun County City.

Wyatt took the miniaturized Little Gold and stepped into the county city.

"This Fair Sun County City is almost the same as Swallow Mountain County City..."

After entering the city, Wyatt and Little Gold joined the endless stream of carts and horses, casually observing the bustling Fair Sun County City.

The county city was larger than most towns.

But it was still not as grand as the Imperial City.

Wyatt found an inn near the busy market in the city center, took a bath, changed into fresh clothes, and then took Little Gold to a nearby inn.

Having ordered several signature dishes, Wyatt sat by the window of the faculty restaurant, gazing at the bustling crowd on the main street of the faculty restaurant, "It’s really lively."

"Huh?"

Suddenly, as if he had sensed something, Wyatt looked towards the restaurant entrance.

At this moment, a young man and woman were stepping in side by side.

The young man, who was about thirty years old, wore a face of arrogance as if he looked down upon everyone else.

But what currently caught Wyatt’s attention was not this young man, but the young woman with him...
