Chapter 84.2: The Gold of Life
âYuhao, this carving knife made from the Gold of Life isnât simple at all. Once you get it, Iâll be able to resolve its issues, whereupon youâll be able to easily solve some of the problems youâll have to face in the future with it. I wonât have to worry about my strand of divine sense being extinguished either.â
Electrolux sank back into silence after uttering these words. However, only Huo Yuhao was able to listen to him speak; even the Skydream Iceworm and the Ice Empress were screened out by his mysterious powers.
Shrek Academy had obtained a plentiful harvest from tonightâs auction, but they had spent a lot of money to acquire it. Wang Yan decided to settle the issue of payment and the collection of the items by himself, allowing the others to go back and rest. As for the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife that Huo Yuhao had bought, Wang Yan would be able to retrieve it with Huo Yuhaoâs participant sign.
Wang Yanâs ranking within the Starlight Auction had increased from the initial white to purple with this exchange. Subsequently, he now had the qualifications to participate in auctions that were of a higher class. However, only black-ranked and above customers were allowed to participate in the Starlight Auctionâs top-ranked auctions.
The Soul-Devouring Carving Knife had left a very deep impression on Huo Yuhao. This was especially so after Electroluxâs words, which made him overjoyed. His senses as a spiritual-type soul master were extremely acute. Although his spiritual power was far, far weaker than pinnacle experts like Electrolux, the Skydream Iceworm, and the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, he had a very strong ability to differentiate between good and evil. He could sense pure goodwill from Electroluxâs divine sense, but the Skydream Iceworm and the Ice Empress still had some reservations towards him. However, these reservations began to gradually decrease as they followed his improvements in cultivation. After all, they no longer had any path of retreat.
Huo Yuhao didnât head straight back to his room after returning to the Imperial Grand Star Hotel. Instead, he went to Wang Dongâs room and knocked on his door.
âWho is it?â Wang Dongâs voice rang out from within.
âItâs me, Iâm back.â
The door opened, revealing a somewhat stupefied Wang Dong.
Huo Yuhao wasnât polite at all as he entered Wang Dongâs room before closing the roomâs door. He asked, concerned, âWang Dong, whatâs with you?â
Wang Dong shook his head and furrowed his brows slightly, âYou might not believe me, and even I donât understand whatâs going on. When I heard everyone talking about using soul tools, I felt an indescribable sense of vexation in my heart. There seems to be another consciousness in my mind thatâs rejecting the use of soul tools. This feelingâs kinda strange, but itâs not comfortable at all. However, I donât seem to be able to reject it. I chose to come back because of that. Actually, I understand what Teacher Wang Yanâs saying, and I believe that what heâs saying is correct. However, it seems like I canât use soul tools at all.â
Huo Yuhao was stunned. âJust what is this? Is there a problem with your spiritual sea?â He immediately thought back to his own situation. Did Wang Dong have other souls living within his spiritual sea? He still remembered what the Skydream Iceworm had told himâWang Dong also had three martial souls, like him. His three martial souls were already settled now. His Spirit Eyes were his main martial soul without a doubt, while his second martial soul was the powerful Ice Jade Empress Scorpion. His third martial soul was very likely to be one that he couldnât add any soul rings toâthe Divine Law of Necromancy, the Calamity Necromancer Electrolux who seemingly possessed the powers of a evil soul master despite being much more pure-hearted than many other people.
However, what about Wang Dong? What were his three martial souls? Huo Yuhao believed that the Skydream Icewormâs judgement couldnât have been incorrect.
âWang Dong, do you trust me?â Huo Yuhao asked seriously, his hands on Wang Dongâs shoulders.
Wang Dong was stunned for a moment. He immediately nodded subconsciously, âNaturally. Why wouldnât I trust you?â
Huo Yuhao said in a low voice, âYou know that Iâm a spiritual-type soul master. The biggest difference we spiritual-type soul masters have from ordinary soul masters lies in how well we can control our spiritual power. I have much more spiritual power than ordinary soul masters, and my spiritual power is stored in an area called my spiritual sea. I feel like I know something similar to what youâve just told me, so Iâd like to check your spiritual sea for a bit. Is that okay? There will be no problems as long as you have complete trust in me. At the very least, weâll be able to figure out whether thereâs a problem with your spiritual sea.â
Wang Dong looked deeply into Huo Yuhaoâs eyes, âI trust you. But, what do we do if there really is a problem with my spiritual sea?â
âThen weâll solve that problem.â Huo Yuhao replied unhesitatingly. He had no confidence in other areas, but he was certain of his abilities with regards to spiritual power. After all, he had the support of an existence like the Skydream Iceworm! There was an extremely miniscule chance of a problem arising with the assistance of his Brother Skydream, who had a million yearsâ worth of experience in controlling spiritual power. Moreover, he even had a power like the Ice Empress supervising him.
Seeing Huo Yuhaoâs confidence, Wang Dong nodded. âOkay. What do I have to do?â
Huo Yuhao said, âYou have to close your eyes and stop moving. No matter what happens, no matter what you feel, donât be astonished. Do your best to calm your mind. Iâm going to carefully peer into your spiritual sea with my spiritual power.â
âOkay.â Wang Dong nodded, âDo we start now?â
Huo Yuhao nodded back, âWeâll start now. Prepare yourself.â
Wang Dong slowly shut his eyes and relaxed his body. He and Huo Yuhao were close partners who were able to fuse their martial souls. As a result, they had already established an unbreakable level of trust.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and calmed himself as much as possible. At this moment, the Skydream Iceworm and the Ice Empress were both awake. They were monitoring Huo Yuhaoâs control of his spiritual power at his request, and they would make a move if any problems were to arise.
Huo Yuhao moved his hands from Wang Dongâs shoulders to the back of his head, then lowered his head slowly. After that, he placed his forehead against Wang Dongâs forehead. The two of them could even hear each otherâs breathing.
Wang Dongâs body shivered slightly. His long eyelashes shook, brushing against Huo Yuhaoâs eyes.
âDonât move, relax. Iâm about to start.â Huo Yuhao urged quietly.
Wang Dong regained his composure, but his face was somewhat red.
A gentle wave of spiritual power carefully flowed out from Huo Yuhaoâs forehead and into Wang Dongâs body from the point at which their foreheads were touching.
Soul masters considered the area between the eyes, the brows, the forehead, and the nose the spiritual root of Heaven and Earth. It was the place which contained the spirit, the ancestral cavity, and the ancestral Qi. At the same time, it was where the spiritual sea resided. Placing their spiritual seas next to each other was naturally the easiest way in which Huo Yuhao was able to easily transfer his spiritual power to Wang Dong.
Their soul power was already harmonious due to their martial soul fusion. Moreover, Wang Dong trusted him fully. Huo Yuhaoâs spiritual power was able to quietly enter Wang Dongâs spiritual sea without any trouble.
