Chapter 389: 389 Chapter Demon Lord’s Treasure_1

About the breath of the Ancient Martial Soul within him, Ling Xiao had another conjecture.

His Mountain and River Martial Soul was clearly an Ancient Martial Soul from the start, probably existing within the partial scroll given to him by Grandpa Hong Qi.

It later took residence in his body.

However, it had completely fused with his soul afterward.

Was this considered an Ancient Martial Soul, or was it an awakened Martial Soul?

Ling Xiao was a bit confused himself.

"Master, the Ancient Martial Soul is a very precious treasure, and Martial Souls are divided into several kinds based on their inheritance, among which the Ancient Martial Souls belong to the most powerful and ancient type,"

the Plague Demon King’s Martial Soul continued to explain.

"But I have looked through many records of the Sect, and the references to Martial Souls are extremely scarce, not to mention the Ancient Martial Souls, for which there is not a single record."

Ling Xiao sighed.

He could actually guess what had happened.

During the period when Martial Souls disappeared, all records about Martial Souls were lost, either burned or taken elsewhere and hidden.

"In any case, Master, Martial Souls are not only important to the Human Race but to other races as well! And the inheritance of Martial Souls is even more mysterious. It is said that even the most basic Martial Soul inheritance can greatly enhance a Martial Artist’s Martial Arts talent, comparable to a Godly Treasure Body."

"There’s such a thing? It seems that people nowadays really know too little about Martial Souls."

"Not only that, but there are almost no means to test the strength of a Martial Soul, except during battle where it can be revealed. Perhaps for this reason, some true talents are missed by those foolish Sects."

The Plague Demon King’s Martial Soul seemed to have taken on some of the Plague Demon King’s characteristics, so it had an attitude that was somewhat arrogant and domineering.

However, it was completely submissive to Ling Xiao.

Well, it wouldn’t be correct to say submissive, as it was a part of Ling Xiao himself, just another part of his soul split off.

Ling Xiao now had a deeper understanding of Martial Souls, at least he now realized that besides the ordinary talent tests, the inheritance of Martial Souls could offer even greater assistance to a Martial Artist.

He suddenly thought of Dai Yuling.

So he asked, "I once had a Cherry Tree Martial Spirit, which was nourished within the Mountain and River Martial Soul and then transferred to another Martial Artist, does that count as Martial Soul inheritance?"

"Of course it counts, that’s the most basic form of Martial Soul inheritance. In the Mysterious World, forcefully stripping someone else’s Martial Soul and implanting it into another person also counts as the most basic Martial Soul inheritance. However, it’s crude and doesn’t fully exert the effects of Martial Soul inheritance."

"I see!"

Ling Xiao nodded. During the process of forcibly implanting someone else’s Martial Soul, something must have been missing, which prevented achieving the effect of Martial Soul inheritance.

"Master, the Plague Demon King’s treasure has been found!"

As the voice of the Plague Demon King’s Martial Soul rang out, Ling Xiao found himself near the altar of the True Demon Emperor.

He had reverted to his original appearance, withdrawing the Human-Dragon Form, but his powerful analytical ability still allowed him to uncover the secret of the altar.

Near the ground, a row of bricks had special Array Refining Stones embedded in them.

To open this treasure vault, one had to crack the Magic Array on the Array Refining Stones.

This Magic Array was interesting. In addition to requiring a Soul Power as strong as that of the Plague Demon King, one also had to analyze a special password.

Who would have thought that this Plague Demon King was also a formidable musician.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn later, Ling Xiao’s face revealed a look of surprise.

The password left by the Plague Demon King on these bricks turned out to be a set of rather fine music.

Following the results he had analyzed, he used soul power to strike the stone tile and began to play the tune.

A moment later, the tune ceased, and the stone tile actually disappeared!

Then a secret passage appeared there.

Ling Xiao stepped onto the staircase and went down.

The treasury that the passage led to was at least ten times larger than the cellar above.

The gold and silver stored inside were also ten times that of the cellar above!

Ling Xiao understood why the Plague Demon King accumulated these things.

Gathering soldiers and buying horses, one couldn’t do without gold and silver.

After all, the people lured here by gold and silver would soon become slaves.

Regrettably, at present, Ling Xiao simply lacked interest in gold and silver.

After his "Heavenly Dragon Golden Body" broke through to the Fifth Layer, he could regenerate from a drop of blood, and it did not require the consumption of gold, so it was no longer necessary.

However, these things could be taken to the Divine Sword Sect, where gold and silver were still very useful in the secular world.

What Ling Xiao was interested in were the other items.

"Oh, this is indeed the Demon King’s Seal of the True Demon Empire from the old days, a fine item!"

The True Demon Empire’s Nine Great Demon Kings each possessed a Demon King’s Seal. Although the seal had no special effects, it was a symbol of authority for the Demon Kings of the True Demon Empire. Possessing a Demon King’s Seal meant one could even command the subordinates of that Demon King.

"I’ll take it!"

Ling Xiao collected the Plague Demon King Seal into the Mountain and River World, thinking it might come in handy later.

Think about it, the Plague Demon King had a rather tragic fate.

Back then, he could almost sweep through the entire Heavenly Dragon Continent.

His power was unparalleled.

Yet now, he had been killed by an ant, an Outer Disciple from the Moon Hua Sect. If this were to spread, his reputation would be thoroughly ruined.

Shortly thereafter, Ling Xiao found a gourd filled with pills.

Although he wasn’t sure what kind of pills they were, simply by sniffing their fragrance, he knew they were extraordinary, probably quality pills. This was a windfall.

There were as many as fifty pills in total, enough for his use for some time.

Beside the gourd of pills, there was a cloth bag containing a jade plate. The jade plate was pure white and delicate, definitely of high-quality mutton-fat jade.

Of course, that wasn’t the key point. The key was that there was a vast and mysterious aura permeating from the jade plate, indicating it was probably no ordinary item.

Next to the jade plate, there was also a broken umbrella. Despite being damaged, the Plague Demon King still kept it, for purposes unknown.

"Master, the pills in that gourd are ’Soul Essence Pills.’ They are concocted using the souls of over a hundred Transcendent Realm Martial Artists, combined with eighty-one special herbs, ranked as low-level Yellow Grade pills. They are far superior to those ordinary, mediocre pills," explained the Plague Demon King’s Martial Soul.

"These pills aid in the cultivation of Transcendent Realm Martial Artists, and the effect is best for those below the Fifth Layer Heaven of the Transcendent Realm!"

"Oh, not bad."

To think they were low-level Yellow Grade pills, this was the first time Ling Xiao had come across quality pills. The Plague Demon King was really such a nice person, knowing he needed this and thus leaving it for him. Heh, heh.

Although the process of concocting the "Soul Essence Pills" was indeed cruel and bloody, involving the lives of over a hundred Transcendent Realm Martial Artists, since they were already successfully made, it would be too wasteful to just throw them away.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Ling Xiao naturally appropriated them without hesitation.
