CH 109.2

Princess Ling Ji told Chen Yu a lot of things that happened after her reincarnations. She also informed her about the origin of each spiritual artifact and where they were placed.

“What is the sixth spiritual artifact? Where is it?” Chen Yu asked Ling Ji immediately.

“I don’t know.” To Chen Yu’s surprise, Ling Ji shook her head.

“Why don’t you know? Haven’t you been there all the time?” Chen Yu wondered.

“Three hundred years ago, I was preparing to take the fifth spiritual artifact and find a storage place for it, but when I was about to set out, a Heavenly phenomenon suddenly occurred under the Heavens and a drought demon was born,” Ling Ji said.

“The drought in Qingmang Mountain?” Chen Yu reacted instantly.

“That’s right.” Ling Ji said, “No one knows better than me the harm caused by a drought demon. Since I’m reincarnated as a Celestial Master, I can’t ignore it, so I came to Qingmang Mountain with the spiritual artifact.”

“The drought demon in Qingmang Mountain is different from me. He is a zombie demon. After thousands of years as an evil spirit, it is very powerful.” Ling Ji said, “I wanted to use the Profound Fiend Purification and Destruction Technique to kill it, but my good deeds and merits weren’t enough. It can’t be done, so in the end, the only way to seal it was to use the array method.”

“Did you seal it?” Chen Yu said in shock.

“Yes, but my cultivation level at that time was too low. I was completely unable to fight against the drought demon. Setting up the array alone already left me exhausted and dead.”

“What?” Chen Yu was startled, “Then how was the drought demon finally got sealed?”

“At that time, the array had already been set up. It just needed to be activated.” Ling Ji said, “In order to prevent the drought demon from breaking free of the array, and in order for my soul to be reincarnated to find the sixth spiritual artifact, I could only separate from within my soul and attach myself to the fifth spiritual artifact. Afterward, I borrowed the power of the artifact to activate the array.”

“It’s only recently when you forcibly summoned me with the Soul Gathering Platform.”

“So…” Chen Yu’s face turned pale. “The change in Qingmang Mountain was caused by me summoning you back on the Soul Gathering Platform?”

“That’s right.” Ling Ji nodded.

“Then when I walked into the Qingmang Mountain, was it also because of this that the Spiritual Pearl took the initiative to fly out?”

“I have been inside the Spiritual Pearl for hundreds of years, and have long since become one with it. As long as we’re close to each other, we will summon each other.” Ling Ji explained, “The Spiritual Pearl probably sensed my presence and flew out from the ground.”

“Then now that the Spiritual Pearl is gone, isn’t the drought demon about to wake up?” Chen Yu asked.

“Yes.” Ling Ji said, “Without the Spiritual Pearl’s suppression, the drought demon will wake up in two days at most.”

“Then what should I do?” Chen Yu said anxiously, “Should I send the Spiritual Pearl back? But my Third Brother also needs it.”

“It’s useless to send the Spiritual Pearl back now. The drought demon will surely wake up. For now, we can only seal it again.” Ling Ji said, “You should have the sealing formation I left in your mind. With so many Celestial Masters around you, you can work together and accumulate the power to fight against the drought demon.”

“As for the sixth spiritual artifact, I used the first five artifacts to form a huge Pentagram Convergence Array with China as the boundary, so as long as the sixth spiritual artifact is within the country, then it will definitely be perceived,” Ling Ji explained.

“Can you seal the array?” Lou Ming didn’t know Ling Ji’s existence, and was surprised when he heard that Chen Yu could do it.

“Yeah. Didn’t I go back to the Luoshan Sect before? It was there that I saw the formation that was specifically used to seal drought demons.” In fact, what Chen Yu saw was the Profound Fiend Purification and Destruction Technique, but it wasn’t that bad.

Lou Ming didn’t doubt her, nodded and said, “I can rest assured then.”

Considering that it was already very late, and that Chen Yu had to discuss the sealing of the drought demon with the masters tomorrow, Lou Ming suggested that the two of them go back to the house to rest.

“Mm.” Although Chen Yu did not want to rest, she knew that Lou Ming must not have rested well this whole day, what with worrying and rushing. Hence, she did not object.

Lou Ming first sent Chen Yu back to her room before turning around and returning to his room.

“Young Master.” Cheng Peng, who was guarding the room, got up when he saw Lou Ming return and greeted him.

“Hmm.” Lou Ming swept a glance at the half-meter tall box beside Cheng Peng and said, “You should also go and rest.”

“Got it.” Cheng Peng stood up and left the room.

Lou Ming walked forward and stood where Cheng Peng was standing just now. He reached out and touched the half-meter tall box, as well as the lance wrapped in silk cloth behind the box. This contained the four spiritual artifacts that Lou Ming brought from the capital, plus the Spiritual Pearl that had just been found from Qingmang Mountain; five spiritual artifacts all together.

Lou Ming brought these four spiritual artifacts along because when Chen Yu fainted, these four artifacts changed at the same time. Lou Ming thought it might be useful to bring them along, so he brought them with him.

He did not tell Chen Yu about this matter, because if she were to know that all five spiritual artifacts were already here, she would probably not be able to wait to find the whereabouts of the sixth spiritual artifact before completely sealing the drought demon. He was afraid that she would be distracted.

Nevertheless… Lou Ming couldn’t contain his excitement at the thought that he would be able to collect all six artifacts soon. Because only when he had completely transformed into a normal person could he stand calmly in front of Chen Yu’s parents and be qualified to assure them that he would treat Chen Yu well for the rest of his life.

The night was getting quieter and quieter, and everyone was entering dreamland. The Spiritual Pearl placed in Elder Shen’s bedroom suddenly emitted a faint spiritual light. Wisps of spirit qi circulated and woke Elder Shen up.

Elder Shen covered himself and got out of bed. Then, he stared at the Spiritual Pearl that kept emitting spiritual light in bewilderment. What is the Spiritual Pearl responding to?

Meanwhile, in the guest courtyard not far away from him, in Lou Ming’s room, the Bone Flute, the Bronze Sword, the Ling Ji Sword, and the long lance wrapped in silk cloth were also emitting a faint glow. The five clusters of light flickered one after another with exactly the same frequency.

Lou Ming, who was already asleep, suddenly frowned and then went into a familiar dream state.

“What should I do? This isn’t working. It’s not working. Why doesn’t it work?” Shishi in the dream squatted on the ground irritably and grabbed her hair with both hands. There were also a few objects similar to magic artifacts scattered around her.

“Don’t grab your hair.” In the dream, Lou Ming squatted down and unfolded Chen Yu’s hand in distress. “You also said that there is less and less spirit qi between heaven and earth now. How could it be so easy to find high-quality spiritual artifacts?”

“But Feng Luo said, you are only one spiritual artifact short, just one.” In the dream, Chen Yu said excitedly, “Besides, if we can’t find the spiritual artifact, you will be unable to last long with your current physique.”

In an instant, the image shifted. The dream changed to a scene. It was bloody red, as if heaven and earth were wrapped in evil qi.  Lou Ming knew that this was what he looked like in the dream whenever his evil qi rioted.

Suddenly, a familiar figure rushed into the evil qi, hugged Lou Ming, who had lost his mind, and kissed him.

The suffocating evil qi in the sky shuddered, and then rushed frantically into the girl’s body. Lou Ming didn’t see the figure in front of him until the evil qi dispersed… It was Shishi in his dream.

“Since I can’t find a suitable spiritual artifact, I’ll be the sixth one.”

“No!” In the dream world, Lou Ming was unconscious and senseless, but outside it, he was hissing madly.

“When we meet again in the next life, I will definitely clear away the evil qi from you. And then in the next life, will you marry me?”

Lou Ming was heaving when he sat up from the bed. He was panting heavily and covering his thumping chest. Even his expression couldn’t be painted.

Shishi, she is the sixth spiritual artifact?

No wonder, no wonder when Shishi came to Qingmang Mountain, the other five spiritual artifacts reacted. It turned out that this was the result when the six spiritual artifacts were collected all together.

The author has something to say.
