"The Junior Master’s doppelganger is truly impressive. It’s not sothing just anyone can do, not even you could split yourself into another form, right?"
Yun Ran was very curious as to why the Dragon Spirit was so smug about soone else’s Junior Master.
However, she truly didn’t have the ti to discuss these trivial matters with the Dragon Spirit.
"You sure talk a lot. Aren’t you trying to learn from the Junior Master? Better keep a close eye. You don’t expect the Junior Master to teach you hand in hand, do you~"
The Dragon Spirit was suddenly at a loss for words, though it found Yun Ran’s words harsh, they made sense.
Those eyes never left the silhouette of the Junior Master.
The silhouette of the Junior Master turned back and glanced, and Yun Ran imdiately tossed the Peach Wood Sword over.
The Dragon Spirit had never seen the complete form of the Peach Wood Sword, and at this mont, seeing the ugly Peach Wood Sword held by the Junior Master felt mismatched.
Instantly, a feeling arose in his heart that this sword was not worthy.
Simultaneously, his mind frantically recalled if there was any famous sword in his inherited mory that could match the Junior Master.
But the subsequent scene slapped the Dragon Spirit in the face.
When the ugly Peach Wood Sword fell into the Junior Master’s hand, it imdiately made a grand transformation.
Anyone with eyes could see that this sword, throughout its form, bore a singular word: [Strong].
The Dragon Spirit’s mouth, which was closed, now had its own opinion.
"Yun Ran, this sword looks so ugly in your hand, but in the Junior Master’s hand, it turns into a divine artifact.
Now I finally believe, you’re really... Ow, why are you hitting people!"
The Dragon Spirit’s eyes remained fixed on the Junior Master’s side, but his hand had already gone back and forth with Yun Ran.
Damn Yun Ran, actually grabbing him with such strength, it really hurt soooo much!!!
The Junior Master’s eyes were focused on the ice coffin, vaguely maintaining a standoff, seemingly waiting for the other side to make the first move.
Just as the Dragon Spirit was about to ask what the Junior Master was waiting for.
The Junior Master spoke.
"This ice coffin is truly the Demon-locking Tower; the place we are now is rely an unimportant external part of the tower."
Yun Ran: !!!!!
Dragon Spirit: !!!!!
The Dragon Spirit’s greater shock compared to Yun Ran was due entirely to the fact that he had previously dragged this ice coffin around for quite so ti.
Moreover, he had opened it once...
Thinking about it, the Dragon Spirit hurriedly patted his chest; luckily, this ice coffin hadn’t been fully activated earlier.
Otherwise, he would have certainly been swallowed by it now.
"What about that child inside?"
"It’s a slumbering artifact spirit, whose powers and five senses have been mostly taken; the mists we encountered earlier were the artifact spirit’s ans of drawing power."
Yun Ran’s mind imdiately flashed back to her previous divination.
So her Great Luck was tied to the artifact spirit of this Demon-locking Tower?
When this realization dawned on Yun Ran, she couldn’t help but twitch her lips.
She had almost been drained by this entity just a mont ago.
Now to be told, this is her Great Luck? Yun Ran finds it absurd no matter how she looks at it.
While Yun Ran was having a brainstorm, the Junior Master continued, "The artifact spirit has already reclaid its five senses, now only a small portion of its power remains; it will soon fully awaken."
The Dragon Spirit recalled that the child he saw earlier had eyes like glowing spheres.
But the Junior Master said the artifact spirit had already reclaid its five senses.
The eyes...
His mind imdiately thought back to the pink eyes he saw when he got caught in the trap earlier.
"Junior Master, the eyes, those pink eyes!"
They all had seen those red eyes before and instantly connected everything that had happened.
"So, the mists swallowed so many people, leaving nothing of them but a pair of eyes.
It turns out this artifact spirit was seeking suitable eyes for itself, which explains why those eyes could last in the mist!"
For so reason, Yun Ran’s mind imdiately thought of Rong Gu’s eyes.
At this mont, the chaos within the ice coffin also dissipated, returning it to its original transparent state.
The Peach Wood Sword in the Junior Master’s hand was aid at the ice coffin, serving as a clear deterrent.
The ice coffin obediently refrained from further actions.
Yun Ran craned her neck to see over there.
Lying inside wasn’t the child the Dragon Spirit ntioned, but rather a youth.
"Is this the child you ntioned?"
The Dragon Spirit also looked over and then widened his eyes.
"No, did this child just grow up in an instant?"
He swore that what he saw before was clearly a child of just five or six years old, but now this child looked at least fifteen or sixteen.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it, that an artifact spirit could grow up in the blink of an eye.
"It reclaid so of its power, so naturally, it would grow. Once it fully regains its power, it’ll be hard to deal with."
Currently, the artifact spirit has incomplete power, which is why it feels so trepidation towards the Junior Master, not daring to continue consuming the ’food slot’ placed ’food’.
"Could it be that the mists released before, which devoured other trapped creatures, were a way for the artifact spirit to feed?"
Thinking of the Demon King she had sent out, Yun Ran imdiately noted the Demon King in her ntal ledger.
If not for her, that White Tiger fellow wouldn’t have even a strand of fur left.
"If that’s the case... no wonder there are so many bones here; it turns out they were all food for this artifact spirit."
However, Yun Ran was now more curious about the purpose of those Black Robed People ’nurturing’ this artifact spirit.
Aren’t they afraid it will retaliate once it’s completely awakened?
Any being that has developed spiritual wisdom, whether it’s creatures of flesh and blood or artifact spirits, has its own thoughts.
After being ruthlessly abused and hurt, ntally, they are suffering, and once they escape, they will surely seek revenge.
"Junior Master, I just feel there’s more to this than ets the eye."
The Junior Master only calculated that this ice coffin is the core body of the Demon-locking Tower; anything more was beyond what he, as a spirit puppet, could deduce.
Even if his true self were here, he might not be able to calculate it, as this ice coffin involves a vast realm.
If he guessed correctly, what they see as the ice coffin is, in fact, far larger inside than they can imagine.
It might even be able to tear through the void and traverse to the Outer Domain.
