Chapter 2474: Chapter 477: Divine Spiritual Tool Dark Immortal Sword

No matter what others say or how they view it.

Ling Xiao has already put away the Shadow Black Gourd, and today’s battle for the artifact can be considered completely concluded.

Next, what he needs to do is return to his residence and then study the secrets of the Shadow Black Gourd and the Dark Sword Immortal Map thoroughly.

"Congratulations, Ling Xiao!"

Heiye Wuxing walked up to Ling Xiao and heavily patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Some people say that even if you obtained the Shadow Black Gourd, it holds no significance.

Because you lack the bloodline of the Dark Clan; you’re merely a Branch Family Member.

But in my opinion, you always create miracles.

This time won’t be an exception, right?"

"Certainly not, those people are now secretly cursing and ridiculing me, but twenty days hence, I will show them how foolish their judgment was.

All their schemes and conspiracies are worthless."

Ling Xiao said this loudly; he deliberately spoke for those waiting to watch him make a fool of himself.

To make them understand.

He, Ling Xiao, is neither an idiot nor a fool.

What he intends to accomplish, he will indeed succeed at!

"What foolish dreams!"

An Hua sneered, turned, and left.

She was unwilling to see Ling Xiao’s smug expression any longer.

Ling Xiao also left the sacrificial altar with Heiye Wuxing and returned to the Dark Clan Hall.

Qing Luan Hua and Lin Yang were there waiting.

Although they hadn’t seen the whole process, just hearing the result, these two rejoiced greatly at Ling Xiao’s success.

In Lingxiao Courtyard, after a round of celebration, the room was left with only Ling Xiao.

Everyone knew he had only twenty days to comprehend the secrets of the Shadow Black Gourd.

So they didn’t want to disturb him.

Just wanted him to quietly cultivate.

Heiye Wuxing stayed in the courtyard near Ling Xiao’s room, acting as a protector for Ling Xiao.

Because he knew, in these twenty days, some unwelcome guests would undoubtedly come to cause trouble.

Ling Xiao couldn’t be distracted, so he had to do more.

"Twenty days, I won’t need that long — ten days at most, and I should be able to completely master the Shadow Black Gourd.

Water Elder says that as long as one possesses any Magical Treasures from the Eight Great Families, they can head to the Sha Clan Sea Area where Ling Yan is held.

If Ling Yan can be rescued quickly, that would naturally be best.

But even if it can’t be done yet, during the period I possess the Shadow Black Gourd, I must at least meet Ling Yan.

The last time I went to the Fifth Level of Ghost Prison, I already glimpsed some wonders of the Array Formation there.

This time, as long as there’s an opportunity, Ling Yan can be rescued."

For Ling Xiao, rescuing Ling Yan will relieve the heavy burden from his heart.

What he needs to do next is learn all the Ultimate Skills of Eight Immortals Mountain and then use it as a springboard to advance to a place more suitable for him to grow stronger.

Deeply inhaling, Ling Xiao stopped overthinking.

This matter must be approached step by step.

He can feel that after the battle for the Shadow Black Gourd, the Extinguishing Sin Stone he obtained turned out to be an excellent supplement for cultivation.

Perhaps he is indeed close to breaking through to the First Stage Four-Layer Hell.

The stronger one is, the more status one has in Eight Immortals Mountain.

He was keenly aware of his current situation.

Seemingly safe, but actually fraught with danger.

Heiye Wuxing is powerful, but after all, only one person; if his enemies come knocking together and he’s not strong enough, even Heiye Wuxing could be killed.

"Master, you must have already unraveled the mystery of the Dark Sword Immortal Map, right?"

With a flicker, Ling Xiao saw a virtual silhouette drifting out — it was Yuan Venerate.

Sustained by the Soul Gem given by Ling Xiao, Yuan Venerate is now able to move freely within a certain range.

Though just a Soul Body, it wouldn’t easily be dispersed by the Gang Wind.

"Of course, the Dark Sword Immortal Map, or rather the Dark Sword Immortal Picture, is actually the key to opening up the Shadow Black Gourd!"

Yuan Venerate explained, "You saw that black Longsword earlier, right? It’s the power condensed from the Dark Sword Immortal Picture.

And now, what you need to do is genuinely solidify this black Longsword into a physical form.

At that time, you will not only possess a Divine Grade weapon level Spiritual Tool — the Dark Immortal Sword!

But also be able to slash the instrument spirit within the Shadow Black Gourd with the sword, without causing the gourd to shatter."

"Kill the instrument spirit of the Shadow Black Gourd? Isn’t that a bit inhumane? He doesn’t seem to have any enmity with me,"

Ling Xiao furrowed his brows.

"If you don’t want to slay it, you can subdue it, turning it into your servant, fully obeying your commands.

This can be done by relying on the Dark Immortal Sword and Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit; it’s not difficult,"

Yuan Venerate continued.

"Alright then, let’s try control first, and if this guy doesn’t know what’s good for him, I’ll destroy him."

Ling Xiao nodded.

Then he began the transformation and refinement of the Dark Sword Immortal Map.

Actually, even the first ancestor of the Dark Clan never obtained the genuine Dark Shadow Martial Arts.

Because to fully unlock the Shadow Black Gourd and completely comprehend the Dark Shadow Martial Arts, one must obtain the key.

However, this Dark Sword Immortal Map is solely obtained by Ling Xiao.

Precisely because Yuan Venerate is a powerful Array Master, he was able to decipher its mysteries.

Otherwise, anyone else, even if they obtained these two items, would still be unable to use them.

This might be what is called accumulated knowledge, seemingly useless, yet at crucial moments, proving invaluable.

Refining the Dark Sword Immortal Map became notably easy with Yuan Venerate’s guidance.

In only a day, Ling Xiao had refined the Dark Sword Immortal Map into a black Longsword about three feet long.

Holding it single-handedly, its weight was very fitting, exuding a chilling, sinister glow.

"Dark Immortal Sword! Divine Grade Spiritual Tool! Containing the ’Black Striped Flying Tiger’ Beast Soul!

It can be used directly in battle or allow Beast Warriors to perform Beast Soul Transformation."

The moment the black Longsword took shape, Ling Xiao immediately sensed this information.

This Black Striped Flying Tiger Beast Soul is a one-star Yin-Yang Realm Sixth Layer Hell level Beast Soul.

More powerful than the Steel Armored Bull Demon Martial Soul, Tyrant Blood Demon Dragon Martial Spirit, and Black Wolf General Martial Soul.

Though not entirely suitable for Ling Xiao at the moment, with Ling Xiao’s cultivation speed, he will quickly master it perfectly.

"A fine item!"

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but exclaim.

He then directly embedded this Black Striped Flying Tiger Beast Soul into the "Tiger God" throne of the Twelve Divine Beast Throne.

Although his current Cultivation Level can’t fully unleash the powerful might of this Beast Soul,

his combat power already exceeds that of the other three Beast Souls.

The Black Striped Flying Tiger naturally has inherent skills, its name is — Tiger Howl Mountains!

As the name implies, it is a very special sonic technique.

It’s similar to the Demon Dragon Blood Curse of the Tyrant Blood Demon Dragon.

Except the Demon Dragon Blood Curse affects the enemy’s Qi-Blood.

While Tiger Howl Mountains uses terrifying roars to influence Martial Artists.

It may temporarily deprive the enemy of their hearing, cause them to tremble uncontrollably.

In severe cases, make them bleed from all seven orifices and die.

It’s fair to say, if used skillfully, such skills can be extremely useful in critical moments.

Ling Xiao had trained in such skills before with very good results.
