Chapter 1288
Elder Bi realized that he might be killed if the upper echelons of the Primal Chaos Temple found out about his situation, so he made up his mind to leave the Primal Chaos Temple.
Later on, Elder Bi found an excuse to leave the Primal Chaos Temple. In order to prevent the Primal Chaos Temple from finding him, he left the Middle Earth and came to the remote Eastern Earth. He established the Monarch Domain in the Eastern Earth's Sea of Bitterness.
"You established the Imperial Domain?
And the Emperor's Tomb was also created by you. Did you do all of this because of the Celestial Insect Avatar in your body? "Xiao Hei suddenly asked.
Elder Bi nodded and said in a deep voice, "The Celestial Insect Avatar had already fused with my body. If I wasn't an Arcane Saint Master, my sea of consciousness might have been eaten away by the Celestial Insect. At that time, I would have become its puppet."
"To stop the Celestial Insect, I established the entire Imperial Domain and even built the Emperor's Tomb in the Imperial Domain. My goal was to stop the Celestial Insect from stealing my consciousness." Elder Bi nodded.
"After I left my inheritance in the Emperor's Tomb, I used a secret technique to separate my sea of consciousness from my body. Although I succeeded, the Celestial Insect Avatar was extremely cunning. It actually escaped after I separated my sea of consciousness from my body. Fortunately, I nurtured many Emperors. The moment the Celestial Insect Avatar escaped, they all attacked it."
Speaking up to there, the bitterness at the corner of Elder Bi's mouth became even more intense. Xiao Hei said coldly, "Looks like you really don't understand the Celestial Insect at all. It's most proficient in devouring and plundering. You nurtured so many Emperors. It's like sending lambs to the tiger's den."
Elder Bi sighed softly, "You're right. Although I'm an Arcane Saint Master of the Primal Chaos Temple, I've never seen the Celestial Insect's abilities.
The Emperors of the Imperial Domain didn't manage to destroy the Celestial Insect. Instead, they were all devoured by the Celestial Insect Avatar when they least expected it. The Celestial Insect Avatar became extremely powerful, almost comparable to a Half-Saint. "
"If I was at my peak, it wouldn't have been difficult to seal the Celestial Insect. Unfortunately, because of the Celestial Insect, I abandoned my body and only my sea of consciousness remained. As a result, I fought the Celestial Insect."
"In the end, I was no match for the Heavenly Insect. The spiritual body that carried the sea of consciousness was severely injured by the Heavenly Insect …"
Xiao Hei frowned slightly and asked in surprise, "Since you were no match for the Heavenly Insect, how did you seal the Heavenly Insect?"
"Sigh!
I've already set up a sealing formation in the tomb. However, to activate the sealing formation, I need to sacrifice myself. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't use the sealing formation.
However, after I discovered the terror of the heavenly insects, I finally decided to activate the sealing formation. "Speaking to this point, the bitterness at the corner of Elder Bi's mouth became even more intense.
Zhuowen narrowed his eyes and sighed. He had not expected the destruction of the Emperor's Domain and the Emperor's Tomb to be related to the Heavenly Insect. He had not expected the Heavenly Insect's clone to be brought over from the Primal Chaos Divine Temple by the owner of the Emperor's Tomb, Bi Fang.
"Old man, you're really harming yourself and others. Do you know that if the Heavenly Insect Avatar appeared in the Eastern Earth, it would be a disaster for the entire place?
Moreover, due to the Heavenly Insect's terrifying ability to endlessly devour, it will definitely become more and more powerful. Once it has the ability to release the main body of the Primal Chaos Divine Temple, the entire Heavenly Armor Continent will truly be in danger. "
Xiao Hei's gaze became extremely stern. His voice became extremely cold as well.
However, Elder Bi's face was filled with bitterness. He knew that his actions back then were inappropriate. If he had known that this would be the outcome, he would have reported this matter to the upper echelons of the Primal Chaos Divine Temple. Perhaps there would not have been so much trouble then.
"Forget it. You only did this because your life was in danger. It's not your fault."
Xiao Hei waved his hand. Suddenly, he said sternly, "Old man, the Heavenly Insect Avatar has opened a portion of the seal."
"Hmm?
Someone opened the seal? Who is so daring? Doesn't he know how terrifying and dangerous the Heavenly Insect is? "Elder Bi's expression changed slightly.
Zhuowen briefly explained the situation in the Emperor's Tomb. However, Elder Bi frowned slightly. He said coldly, "That Mu Feng is really shameless. He actually colluded with the Heavenly Insect for this old man's inheritance. Even if that guy enters the Inheritance Land, this old man will not give the inheritance to him."
"You created such a huge Emperor's Tomb. You must have a backup plan, right?" Xiao Hei suddenly asked.
Elder Bi's gaze flickered. He glanced at Zhuowen and said, "I do have a backup plan. However, this young man's talent is indeed not bad. However, his Spiritual Energy cultivation is too low. It's only at the Sixth Grade Complete Realm. I'm afraid that he won't be able to withstand my Sea of Consciousness."
"Oh?
Old man, you still have your Sea of Consciousness? "Xiao Hei's eyes suddenly lit up.
Elder Bi nodded and said, "The Sea of Consciousness contains this old man's lifetime of cultivation experience and inheritance. Moreover, this old man is an Arcane Saint Master. If he wants to inherit this old man's Sea of Consciousness, he must at least be an Arcane Heavenly Master."
"You don't have to worry about that. Zhuowen has cultivated the Myriad Evolution Scripture. His Spiritual Energy is much stronger than ordinary Arcane Masters of the same level. Although he's only at the Sixth Grade Complete Realm right now, in terms of Spiritual Energy, there's still a gap between him and an Arcane Heavenly Master, but it's probably not too far off." Xiao Hei smiled.
Elder Bi looked at Zhuowen with a bit of surprise and asked, "You've actually cultivated the Myriad Evolution Scripture. Looks like you're quite lucky. If that's the case, I can pass my Sea of Consciousness to you. However, the process of passing it on might be a bit painful. If you can't take it, then say it beforehand. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences."
Hearing that, Zhuowen's eyes shone with excitement. Elder Bi was an Arcane Saint Master. If he could accept the Sea of Consciousness of such an existence, it would bring him endless benefits.
This was because the most precious part of an Arcane Master was their Sea of Consciousness. Not only did the Sea of Consciousness contain powerful Spiritual Energy, but it also contained the cultivation experiences and records of many Arcane Masters. If he could obtain the Sea of Consciousness of an Arcane Saint Master, it would be like having an Arcane Saint Master by his side to guide him. There would probably be very little hindrance to breaking through to Arcane Saint Master in the future.
Elder Bi pointed with his right hand and immediately, the tattered praying mat beneath him began to emit an extremely blazing light. Afterwards, Zhuowen discovered that a golden sphere had risen from the praying mat. Within the sphere was a golden ocean. This was the Sea of Consciousness of an Arcane Master.
Zhuowen could even feel an extremely terrifying pressure from the sphere. Before this pressure, Zhuowen felt like he was facing an insurmountable mountain. This was the Sea of Consciousness of an Arcane Saint Master.
"Zhuowen, calm your mind and accept this Sea of Consciousness. Don't let your mind wander, or you'll fail at the last step," Xiao Hei suddenly warned sternly.
Zhuowen hurriedly calmed his mind and relaxed his mind. He silently stared at the slowly approaching sphere. The pressure that belonged to an Arcane Saint Master was right in front of him. Zhuowen's entire body trembled and his heart trembled. However, he still straightened his back and calmly stared at the sphere.
The Sea of Consciousness in front of him was about to belong to him. Why should he be afraid? What he needed to do right now was to completely absorb this Sea of Consciousness into his own Sea of Consciousness.
Boom!
Finally, the golden sphere began to slowly sink into Zhuowen's forehead. Afterwards, Zhuowen only felt a thunderous sound in his head. It was as if thousands of lightning bolts were surging in his head at this moment. It was extremely terrifying and intense.
Zhuowen's Sea of Consciousness was dark grey, as if it was enveloped by dark clouds. It was completely different from Elder Bi's shining golden Sea of Consciousness. This was the difference between a Sixth Grade Arcana Master and an Arcane Saint Master.
When an Arcana Master stepped into the Seventh Grade, or in other words, Heavenly Arcana Master, their Sea of Consciousness would undergo a transformation. This was the first transformation, and after becoming an Arcane Saint Master, the Sea of Consciousness would undergo a second transformation. This was why Zhuowen's Sea of Consciousness was grey and hazy, while Elder Bi's Sea of Consciousness was still golden despite the erosion of time.
At this moment, in the sky above the gray sea of consciousness, a golden ball was falling down like the setting sun. The blazing golden light illuminated the gray sea of consciousness, making it extremely dazzling.
As the golden ball continued to descend, Zhuo Wen's face turned gloomy as he discovered that his sea of consciousness was surging with monstrous waves. His sea of consciousness, which was originally calm and tranquil, was now surging and boiling like a restless heart.
The entire Sea of Consciousness began to hum and vibrate. Under the influence of this vibration, Zhuowen actually directly spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were a little dim.
"Little guy, the process of inheriting the Sea of Consciousness is originally very painful. You just need to endure it, or else it will really be for naught."
Elder Bi's ancient voice rang out, causing Zhuowen to seriously nod his head. Soon after, he controlled the enormous Mental Energy in his body, turning it into many tough threads that covered the surface of his Sea of Consciousness, suppressing the restlessness of his Sea of Consciousness.
Rumble!
The golden sphere finally reached the surface of the grey Sea of Consciousness. Immediately, the entire Sea of Consciousness was stirred up by a tsunami. Zhuowen once again spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was incomparably pale. However, his eyes were filled with stubbornness. He firmly controlled his Mental Energy and suppressed his Sea of Consciousness.
The instant the golden sphere entered the grey Sea of Consciousness, countless golden lights erupted. Soon after, the golden sphere shattered. Within it, the turbulent golden sea was like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea as it converged into the grey Sea of Consciousness.
"Pain!"
The instant the golden sea poured into the grey Sea of Consciousness, Zhuowen held his head with both of his hands and involuntarily cried out in pain. However, he still forcefully endured this pain and controlled the grey Sea of Consciousness to accept the golden sea that was pouring in.
The golden sea grew more and more. When the golden light merged with the grey Sea of Consciousness, a strange dark golden color actually began to emerge. Waves of surging Mental Energy began to rush out from the Sea of Consciousness. As if it was feeding back, it rose into the sky above the Sea of Consciousness and entered Zhuowen's Niwan Palace.
