Chapter 254: Turtledove’s Claw and Heavenly Magic Eyes

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Junior Leopard was really excited at the news that the green lamp was a Pure Yang Celestial Device and damn close to a fairy weapon, but he was frustrated by the green lamp Original Spirit before his excitement rose to full bloom. After the infusion of the Original Spirit of the Grand Demon and the Tusita Fire, it lost its intelligence and was reduced to a useless celestial device.

The ups and downs of the mood vexed him very much, but it was no use to be angry since he simply did not know how to deal with the hidden green lamp Original Spirit in his own body.

“Don’t be too depressed. This green lamp has lost its spirituality, just leaving behind the kindling of the Tusita Fire. It is not necessarily a bad thing for you,” said the green lamp Original Spirit. “In this way, it is easier for you to extract the Tusita Fire and use it as a material for a Pure Yang Celestial Device!”

“You mean I can make a Pure Yang Celestial Device by myself?!” Junior Leopard seemed to have heard a big joke. “Do you think it’s so easy to refine a celestial device?!”

“Do you think it’s difficult to refine it?” the green lamp Original Spirit laughed. “The simplest thing in the world is to refine a weapon. Boasting the congenital Mysterious Fire and practicing the Internal Qi with Pure Yang property, you are the most suitable one to refine weapons. As long as you are willing to do so, and materials are sufficient, you can refine eight to ten Pure Yang Celestial Devices at any time!”

“You know how to refine weapons?” Junior Leopard felt a jolt and popped out a question in hesitation.

In the present world, the method of refining weapons had been lost for many years. Among the prestigious sects and schools, there were occasionally one or two old monsters who could only refine some celestial devices of Psychic Levels. It’s rare for them to refine a Mysterious Celestial Device. With the loss of the essence of the world and the withering of treasures of heaven and earth, the method of refining weapons in antiquity times had disappeared long ago. The green lamp Original Spirit, however, used to be a Great Ancient Demon so no wonder it knew how to refine weapons.

“As refining weapon is the specialty of my Demon tribe, I possess it certainly!” the green lamp Original Spirit laughed. “However, everything comes with a price. I can teach you how to refine weapons, but you have to give me some benefit!”

“What benefits?!”

“I need a body!”

“Body?!” Hearing these two words, Junior Leopard felt a burst of sinister chills in his heart. “What kind of body do you need? I’ll find one for you!”

“This is not urgent!” the green lamp Original Spirit said. “I’ve been in the green lamp for so long that I’m already integrated with it and simply can’t leave there. It’s useless even if I find the right body now!”

“Aren’t you saying bullshit?!”

“I need time to perfect my Original Spirit, but I can’t do it in that damn underground palace nor in this independent space!”

“Where can you make it?!”

“Just let me get out of this space and return to the world of Completion instead of being in this separate and divided space!”

“But this place is also full of the essence of the world. Ah, maybe you don’t know that now the outside world can’t be compared to yours. Although the essence of the world in this Ancient Ruins is thicker than that of antiquity times, it is ten times denser than outside. If you need to supplement your pneuma with the essence of the world, I think you’d better stay here!”

“Has the essence of the world been so sparse?” the green lamp Original Spirit asked unexpectedly. He apparently had not expected there would be such a thing.

“Yes, it is so weak, less than ten times here!”

“There is no other way. There is sufficient pneuma here, but it lacks two most crucial things!”

“What?!”

“Sun and Moon Essence and the Nine Heaven Thunder,” the green lamp Original Spirit said. “They are the most vital pneumas between heaven and earth. It does not matter whether other types of pneuma are less or more. If I want to gather the Original Spirit and escape this green lamp, I have no choice but to own these two pneumas.”

“In other words, what you want me to do is take you to the outside so that you can absorb the Sun and Moon Essence and the Nine Heaven Thunder to make up the Original Spirit and then help you get a body and let you out of the green lamp, right?”

“Clever!” The green lamp Original Spirit giggled and suddenly said, “Is the outside world really so poor? You even have to pick up these trashes?!”

“Trash? The trash we have picked up are real treasures of heaven and earth in the outside world.” Junior Leopard forced a smile.

While talking, they suddenly heard Luo Haiyun exclaim, “Look, I ‘ve found a complete celestial device!”

Looking up, he saw Luo Haiyun holding a shuttle-shaped celestial device.

“It is at least of Mysterious Level. Although it lost all its intelligence, it is still complete. Just go back to refine it, and then you can use it!”

“Congratulations! The revenge really stands a chance now!” Junior Leopard smiled. Suddenly, his look changed. At almost the same time, there came a slight vibration from the ground.

“This is—! ”

“Hurry up, buddy! The space gateway of the Small Thunder Temple is disappearing. Hurry up! Otherwise, you will vanish in the endless hollow with this space.”

An exclamation was also heard in the distance. Glancing at each other, Junior Leopard, Golden Rooster, and Luo Haiyun plunged up almost simultaneously and swept straight toward the place where they came.

Ancient Ruins, which was floating in the hollow, sometimes stopped in a place for a period of time and then continued to float. The places where the Ancient Ruins might sojourn varied from the depths of the hollow to the mundane world. It was rare for it to have a connection with the mundane world, but it was certain that the Ancient Ruins would not stay put in one place forever.

It was not always the case that the Ancient Ruins continually stayed in the mundane world, but there were always some signs when they were about to leave under the traction of the hollow, which acted as departure signals for those who had entered into the Ancient Ruins. Once these signs appeared, people in the Ancient Ruins must leave immediately no matter how many good things there were. If you did not leave, you would be brought into the hollow space and wander among the endless hollow. There was no idea when you could return.

Maybe you would be trapped for hundreds of thousands of years just like the Green Lamp Spirit. By the time that the Ancient Ruins connected with the mundane world again, you would have vanished into trashes.

With flashes of the green lamp, Junior Leopard, Golden Rooster, and Luo Haiyun returned to the isolated island of the Ancient Ruins, one after another. They were somewhat disappointed. Luo Haiyun was particularly disappointed as he had made great efforts only to find some treasures of heaven and earth and one Mysterious Celestial Device. It was really a big loss.

They were the ones who left early. After they returned, the surrounding glare continued to flash. Only four of the five groups who entered the Ancient Ruins came back, among which, two groups were bearing some injuries. The Sect of Flame and Mingyi School almost fought with each other once they were out. Mo Antong and Jin Longyu stared at each other as if one’s wife was kidnapped by the other. A fight was on the verge of breaking out.

Junior Leopard and his companions had no intention of involving themselves in this mayhem, and they quickly left the island. It was none of their business whether the others were fighting or doing anything else on the isolated island.

When he was about to leave, Junior Leopard witnessed the Ancient Ruins suspended in mid-air disappear after being sucked into a black vortex. At the sight of this, he could not help but give a shudder.

Following Golden Rooster and Luo Haiyun, he left without looking back.

Here were the depths of the East Sea. If you wanted to go out, you had to fly for a long time just like when you came in.

Bearing the affairs of his fief on his mind and an eccentric green lamp in his body, Junior Leopard naturally did not want to waste time in the East Sea. He excused himself from Golden Rooster and left with Reining Sword.

His Blue Sword was a Flying Sword of Earthly Rank, Mysterious Celestial Device. Plus, he was practicing Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill which was full of powerful thunderbolt strength. Once he sped up, it was several times faster than normal Gang Qi. With a simple swing like a blue rainbow in the air, he disappeared from sight in a blink.

“How fast! Golden Rooster, is Water Leopard of Winnowing Basket from Golden Lights Cave?!”

Golden Rooster patted his shoulder with a smile and said, “You are familiar with the rules of Immortal Palace. I can’t tell for sure!”

“I see!” Luo Haiyun nodded his head and did not ask about Junior Leopard anymore.

…

Junior Leopard’s speed of Reining Sword was amazing. It took several days for Golden Rooster, Luo Haiyun, and him to arrive at the isolated island in the East Sea. Now he sped up regardless of the others. It only cost him half a day to leave the East Sea.

It was the first time he had flown at full speed after he acquired the technique of Flying Sword. He felt very comfortable from head to toe. It felt extremely satisfying when he pierced space with the Flying Sword again and again.

“Boy, take it easy! It is just a Mysterious Celestial Device, and the speed is limited. This speed should excite you like this, how ignorant you are!”

“Well, since good things have all been grabbed away by the practitioners in antiquity times like you, no wonder I am grateful to run into such a piece of Mysterious Celestial Device. If you’re so capable, go out and get one for me right now!”

“Well, it’s true. The essence of the world is too thin. I am not used to it.”

“That’s all right!” Junior Leopard said sulkily. Hearing the words of Green Lamp Spirit, he lost interest in flying for the moment.

“The material of your Flying Sword is not bad, but you didn’t refine it correctly. If it was well-refined, the sword would become at least a Pure Yang Flying Sword!”

Junior Leopard’s eyes brightened. “Pure Yang Flying Sword?”

What did it mean?

Even in the medieval period when the sword practitioner dominated the world, there were only a few Pure Yang Flying Swords!

There were four levels of the Flying Sword: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang. Even the Heavenly Rank Flying Sword was merely a Mysterious Celestial Device. Pure Yang Flying Sword was used by the sword practitioner school to suppress fate. It might come by sheer luck but not by searching.

“You mean my Blue Sword has the potential to become a Pure Yang Flying Sword?!”

“What I am saying is that because of your incorrect refinement, you’ve ruined the material of this Flying Sword!” Green Lamp Spirit snapped.

“I think it’s not bad!” Junior Leopard did not care and said, “There are not so many Pure Yang Celestial Devices in this world, and it is great to own one or two of them.”

“Well, the world is changing so much now!” Green Lamp Spirit said. “But don’t you see it? Compared with before, the essence of the world is extremely sparse, but the power of the celestial device is not reduced. In such a world, practice is much more difficult than before. As the strength level is low, the function of the celestial device is greater.”

“It is true, but it’s hard to find the treasure of heaven and earth!”

“In terms of a celestial device or fairy weapon, it is the excellence that matters, not quantity. It is enough to have a suitable one to defeat all others, which is particularly true in this world. Although it’s hard to find treasures of heaven and earth, you already own Tusita Fire, don’t you? You also have Demonic Fire of Primitive Dragon Chimera. As long as you find one or two proper materials and couple with my refining skill, it is a piece of cake to concoct a Pure Yang Celestial Device designed for you!”

Junior Leopard just smiled. It was completely similar to the IOUs that the cadres of the previous life had promised to the villagers. The glib talk was totally different from the truth.

“One or two suitable materials? Where to find those treasures of heaven and earth to refine Pure Yang Weapon?”

“However, it’s not good for you to be in my body all the time, just come out!” Junior Leopard came up with a thought and changed the topic. This guy used some unknown method to plunge the green lamp into his Dantian, and his Original Spirit can freely move into his mind, which made him very annoyed.

As a result, there was no secret in front of the Green Lamp Spirit.

This was not important. What mattered was that, if one day, he came across a suitable beauty and married her, when he wanted to have sex, wouldn’t Green Lamp Spirit capture every move of him? Junior Leopard certainly did not have the desire to perform that kind of affair in front of others.

“Come out? Hey, I would like to be out, but the Mysterious Fire of Primitive Dragon Chimera in your Dantian is a great help for Tusita Fire. It can greatly nourish Tusita Fire so I think it’s quite good to stay here! ”

“You—!” Junior Leopard’s anger immediately burst out. “Good gracious, this guy really regarded the Dantian as his own home and cannot be driven away.”

“What’s up, buddy? Don’t make a fuss. Bad temper is not good for health, especially for practitioners like us who tend to arouse demons once we get furious. I think you’d better suppress your anger!”

“I don’t have the habit of suppressing anger!” Junior Leopard sneered. He pressed the sword light and landed on the ground.

“I don’t believe I cannot get you out!” Junior Leopard sneered. After some searching, he found a small cave in a stretch of deserted and secluded hills and slipped into it.

“Kid, this is not a good place for practice. It is fraught with Yin Qi. I think you’re practicing—, eh, you—!”

Before finishing the words, Green Lamp Spirit began to scream.

After hiding in the cave, Junior Leopard began to operate Fiery Eyes, which was an extremely wonderful bloodline. He did not yet fully understood the mystery of this bloodline, but he knew that his current Fiery Eyes had the power of capturing spirits. Green Lamp Spirit in the form of Original Spirit was also a kind of spirit. Fiery Eyes should be effective on him.

Sure enough, once the Fiery Eyes was on, Green Lamp Spirit, which he was not able to see before in any case, was now in his sight.

It was a green fox, like a cloud of smoke and fog, curling up on the wick of the green lamp, which was pretty much the body of the fox then.

“Hum, fu*king you, just get out!” With a red light flashing in the eyes, Junior Leopard grabbed towards his own Dantian with a hollow pawn.

With a bolt of blue light flashing, the green lamp in his Dantian and Tusita Fire were pulled out. They were firmly gripped in his hand, but the yellow fire which burned Luo Haiyun’s palm into ashes in the underground palace did not appear.

When he captured the green lamp out of thin air, the red light in Junior Leopard’s eyes vanished. In his hands, the red strength of nine-finger size entangled the green lamp firmly.

Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds, Turtledove’s Claw!

The so-called Turtledove was a famous nine-headed demon bird in antiquity times, which fed on Yin Qi and specialized in quelling spirits and sucking souls. Turtledove’s Claw also needed the spirit of living creatures to refine before its power reached the Advanced Level. Once the refining was completed, at any random attempt, you could directly grasp the spirit of living creature out of the body. Though extremely insidious, Turtledove’s Claw was way too sinister and vicious. Junior Leopard did not practice it often, but his skill was more than enough to suppress the spirit. It’s much better to exercise this Turtledove’s Claw than always resorting to Fiery Eyes.

Just in the past fleeting second, he turned on Fiery Eyes to absorb the spirit, which in turn, imposed a great burden on his body. The spirit of the green lamp was unlike that of insignificant animals, which was not so easy to be sucked out. It did cost a lot of effort. Fortunately, it occurred to him that he still had Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds to spare.

“How did you make it? You only have the cultivation of Level Seven. How could you have such a great power to take me out of the wick?”

Actually, with this move, Junior Leopard not only took the green lamp out of his Dantian but also drove Original Spirit out from the wick of the green lamp. The spirit was sealed in his Turtledove’s Claw and could not move a step.

“Well, the essence of the world is very weak in this world, and my cultivation is very shallow, but there is surely a way to keep you within bounds!”

“No, no, my Original Spirit has been combined with the wick, I will not be ingested from the lamp unless by some unconventional means. Even Small Thunder Temple and Heavenly Dragon Zen Song had failed to do so. This must not be an ordinary means!”

“Aren’t you a Great Ancient Demon? You are omnipotent and knowledgeable. How can’t you figure out the method I used?”

Junior Leopard put on a mockery smile. These days, Green Lamp Spirit always boasted himself as omnipotent Great Ancient Demon, but he was so secretive of his origins that he refused to reveal his real name. Junior Leopard deeply detested this gesture of pretending to be sophisticated and mysterious, and he always felt that Green Lamp Spirit was a vain and boastful guy who probably had no impressive skills. Now that he had easily grabbed him out from his own Dantian and restrained him with Turtledove’s Claw, it only made more sense for him to look down upon this spirit.

“There is a problem here. There is a big problem!” the green lamp Original Spirit started yelling. “This green lamp is a Pure Yang Celestial Device. My Original Spirit has been integrated with it for hundreds of thousands of years. Even those who have great Divine Sense cannot easily separate my Original Spirit from this green lamp, let alone those shallow-cultivated guys like you!” Green Lamp Spirit roared, “The method you adopted in constraining my Original Spirit has revealed a breath of Turtledove. But if I was in the lamp, even if a real Turtledove came, he could do nothing about me. Damn it! The means to separate me from the green lamp are fewer than the number of your fingers. How could you have one?”

“Really so difficult?!” Junior Leopard was struck by a thought. Though a bit exhausting, that process went very smooth during which he did not find much difficulty at all!

At this time, Green Lamp Spirit started talking again, “You only have the cultivation of Level Seven. Even if you understand those Divine Sense means, you will not be able to use it at all. Should you possess the Heavenly Magic Eye?!”

At this point, he seemed to think of something and cried out, “Impossible! You are an ordinary man. How can you own the Heavenly Magic Eye that only congenital gods have?”

“Heavenly Magic Eye? I don’t get it and never heard of it before. But you’ve got one thing right, my eyes are indeed different from others!”

“Not Heavenly Magic Eye? Impossible! Only Heavenly Magic Eye has such ability, is it—!” All of a sudden, something important seemed to cross his mind. “Boy, let me see what’s special about your eyes!”

“Are you kidding me? Why should I show you the special features of my eyes? Right now, you are in my hands!” Junior Leopard sneered.

“Ha ha ha ha, indeed, you ingested me out of the green lamp. It’s really something. But what else can you do with me except barely imprisoning me with the strength similar to that of Turtledove? Based on your present strength, the only way to destroy my Original Spirit is to use the power you just employed when taking me out of the green lamp, that is to say, your eyes! ” The green lamp Original Spirit burst into presumptuous laughter as though he had figured it all out.

“Well, your words do make sense. I really have no way to destroy your Original Spirit!” Junior Leopard said. After all, Original Spirit was different from spirit or soul.

If you have to use a familiar thing to describe Original Spirit, then, that must be a ghost.

Original Spirit was a ghost. However, unlike a ghost that would dissipate, Original Spirit was an independent life, an existential form free of a body, which would not dissipate as quickly as the ghost would nor would it dissipate by a clap of thunder or a blow of wind like an ordinary ghost because Original Spirit was a stable form of life.

Though Original Spirit was stable compared with a ghost, it would be damaged like a human body when it came under certain attacks. Sometimes it was even weaker than an ordinary man’s body.

However, an Original Spirit like this Green Lamp Spirit had been integrated with Pure Yang Celestial Device for hundreds of thousands of years. Although he was forced out by the power of Junior Leopard’s Fiery Eyes, it was not easy to destroy him as he had already been contaminated with the strength of Pure Yang Celestial Device. Even with his Fiery Eyes, Junior Leopard was merely confident to ingest him out from the green lamp. As to destroy this spirit, he believed that at least for the moment, his Fiery Eyes could not manage that.

Hearing that Junior Leopard could not break him apart, the green lamp Original Spirit became happy again.

“However, I can imprison you forever, just as you used to be in the underground palace of Small Thunder Temple where you can never see the sunlight!” Junior Leopard snapped, with a red light flashing fiercely in his eyes.

“Blood of Blood Wheel? No. Blackwater Genuine Eyes? Nor is it. Heavenly Magic Eye? How could this happen, why?!” Green Lamp Spirit finally could not help but scream at the sight of the red light in Junior Leopard’s eyes. “I see! I see! Damn it! Those crazy necromancers made it! They made it! They have successfully stolen the power of congenital gods! (To be continued)
