CHAPTER 405: CHAPTER 186 THE LEGEND OF BAOYU_2

"Have you ever heard of the Super Spirit Gemstone?" the Vase Monster asked a few questions before turning back to Li Xiu.

"I suppose nowadays not many people haven’t heard of the Super Spirit Gemstone. Are you suggesting that the Heshi Bi is a Super Spirit Gemstone?" Li Xiu was slightly surprised.

"I don’t know." The Vase Monster shook its head and said, "After the Heshi Bi was obtained by that king, it passed through many wars and eventually ended up in the hands of a great emperor, who crafted it into the Imperial Seal, which later became a symbol of imperial power. Every hero who aspired to the throne desired to claim that Imperial Seal, to rightfully seize the world."

"In thousands of years of history and turmoil, the Imperial Seal ultimately disappeared." The Vase Monster mentioned, revealing a nauseating smile: "What if I told you those were all legends, and in fact, the Imperial Seal never went missing? From the time of the first emperor, it has always been under the control of Changshengtian. No matter its appearance or disappearance, everything has been secretly manipulated by Changshengtian. Would you believe that?"

"Since Changshengtian acquired it, why would they send it out?" As Li Xiu finished speaking, he had already thought of something, and his body involuntarily shook a little.

He thought of the methods frequently used by Changshengtian: finding a substitute to contract with those sinister Demon Spirit Gemstones, thereby avoiding the negative impacts on people before the contract with the Demon Spirit Gemstone was formed.

If the Heshi Bi is also a Demon Spirit Gemstone and at the same time a Super Spirit Gemstone, then to what extent will the demonic spirit it engenders become powerful?

"A born Super Spirit?" Just thinking about it made Li Xiu’s scalp tingle. If a Demon Spirit Gemstone like this truly existed, it would indeed drive anyone to madness.

If what the Vase Monster wanted him to do was to find the Heshi Bi, Li Xiu truly could not refuse.

"It seems you have already realized that the Heshi Bi is very likely both a Super Spirit Gemstone and a Demon Spirit Gemstone. Unfortunately, over the thousands of years, not a single person has successfully contracted with it. Despite all efforts by the people of Changshengtian, even to the extent of gifting it to emperors blessed with great fortune who contended for the world, no one was able to form a contract with it." The Vase Monster said with a cold laugh, "Eventually, the Heshi Bi completely vanished because Changshengtian dared not release it again. That Heshi Bi transformed into an Imperial Seal; with each emperor it passed through who was clothed in great fortune, the demonic spirit within became stronger. Although still uncontracted, it already possessed incredible magic force. The people of Changshengtian were afraid, worried that if the demonic spirit truly emerged, they themselves might not be able to control it, so they had no choice but to seal it away."

"You want me to take the Imperial Seal out of Changshengtian and give it to you?" Li Xiu thought the Vase Monster must be mad. Such a thing, there was no way Changshengtian would let an ordinary member even approach it, let alone take it out.

"Heh heh, there’s no need to give it to me. If you have a chance to see it once you’ve entered Changshengtian, you can contract with it yourself." The Vase Monster’s words were somewhat unexpected.

"What benefit is there for you?" Li Xiu asked, frowning.

"Heh heh, if you indeed have the ability to contract with the Imperial Seal, you better be careful. Do you think the leader of the Longevity Association would tolerate someone alive who possesses such a demonic spirit, potentially threatening his position? Even if he allows you to live, wouldn’t he also desire the demonic spirit within the Imperial Seal? He’s been waiting thousands of years for that demonic spirit."

"So as long as I contract with the Imperial Seal, I will inevitably become an enemy of the leader of the Longevity Association. Is this what you want?" Li Xiu interjected.

"That’s right. As long as it can destroy the Longevity Association and that person, I am willing to pay any price." The Voice of the Vase Monster was filled with a hatred that penetrated to the bone:"The reason I’ve become like this is all thanks to that person, and this grudge, I must repay."

"It’s a pity, I haven’t even joined the Longevity Association yet. I don’t know if I will have a chance to come into contact with the Imperial Seal. Even if I have the opportunity, something that so many fortunate founding emperors throughout the millennia failed to contract with, what makes me think I can succeed?" Li Xiu said.

"Just because you can withstand my Ghostly Eye Covering." The Vase Monster said with a cold smile: "For thousands of years, I have seen many Demon Spirit Gemstones, and many people contracting with Demon Spirit Gemstones. I can assure you, your spiritual force far exceeds that of ordinary people. If you practice Ghostly Eye Covering, which I studied, and fully develop and train your spiritual force, you have a great chance to successfully contract with that Imperial Seal. As for how you can come into contact with the Imperial Seal, that’s a matter for you to resolve yourself. To achieve such a great fortune, naturally, you must make some sacrifices."

"Sounds tempting." Li Xiu chuckled.

"If you are interested, come with me. I’ll teach you Ghostly Eye Covering." The Vase Monster said as it twisted the vase, heading for the mountaintop.

Li Xiu had no hesitation, following the Vase Monster back to the Yellow Leaf Tree at the mountaintop.

The Vase Monster looked up at the Yellow Leaf Tree and said, "This tree is also a kind of demonic spirit. It cannot move, but it itself possesses incredibly powerful spiritual force, able to use its spiritual force to influence other demonic spirits, making them willingly come to it and perish, turning into its fertilizer and nutrients. Without a spiritually powerful creature, it’s impossible to reach its presence."
