Chapter 985 985 - Learning



The red-headed ghost said, "This is a quasi-top grade artifact weapon and its sixth spirit pattern had already taken shape. As long as it continues to receive the essence of the moon here, it can definitely grow to become a top grade artifact weapon!"

"Really? Rygintarth can be still…"

Aiden froze for a moment.

Rygintarth was a perfect-grade artifact weapon he crafted personally and wasn't a quasi-top grade artifact weapon. Could it be…

Although he was confused, Aiden handed Rygintarth over still.

The red-headed ghost received Rygintarth and touched across its blade gently before nodding. "This blade was refined decently. When it was formed, it was synthesized with a frightening bloodline that gave it its bloodthirsty nature!"

Back when he refined Rygintarth, Aiden nearly failed and only managed to forge it completely after using his bloodline to temper the flames.

Although the red-headed ghost did not witness it personally, the fact that his guess was not far off the mark was proof that his insights were sharp.

The red-headed ghost rose and arrived at an empty space nearby. Exerting strength in his arm, he stabbed Rygintarth into the ground, leaving only its handle exposed.

"Red-headed ghost, what are you doing?" Aiden asked curiously.

"The people buried here were experts 10,000 years ago and the bloodline that runs underground is incomparably strong, indestructible and possesses a tremendous amount of might! There's a chance that this blade can grow into a top grade artifact weapon if it's soaked here!"

Aiden's eyes lit up.

With that, he would have a truly powerful aide with him, the ebony blade, the reaper of the wicked, Rygintarth, apart from the Coiling Dragon Seal!

Unfortunately, the Mystic Gold Silk Armor was smashed right after it was repaired.

"There are way too many experts buried in this cemetery! Dead patriarchs, the blood of emperors… this is an extremely unlucky place! There's nothing to lose if nothing happens to the blade. However, if it can absorb their blood and grow into a top grade artifact weapon, it will definitely be incomparably ferocious!"

The red-headed ghost glared at Rygintarth coolly and snickered. "Trouble will befall any weakling that lays their hands on this weapon. You should be careful too!"

In that period of time, the tremendous amount of energy in the spirit water had already spread through Aiden's body.

He assumed a lotus position and began training with the prayers of the temple revolving through his mind.

As he breathed, a thick ancient energy spewed out from his mouth.

There was no tear on his blood-red Inner Core and it had recovered to how it was before!

The Inner Core revolved slowly with a ferocious demonic energy, creating ancient demons around him one after another.

Centered among them, Aiden's eyes were tightly shut and his body was faintly visible. With a frightening aura, he was akin to the king of demons that looked down at everyone from above!

He had relied on that mysterious spirit water for the past five years to help his Inner Core recover.

Not only that, his body had turned even more frightening!

Even though it was just a bowl of spirit water, the amount of energy it contained was enough to last Aiden for an entire month!

If he continued training this way, he would definitely attain greater mastery of his Inner Core in the next 15 years and even have a chance of training to the perfected realm!

What's in that spirit water for it to possess such power?

In the five years, Aiden had read many ancient manuals in the Prayer Hall but he could not find anything that fit the description.

This was a question that he had asked the red-headed ghost more than once during this period of time.

However, each time, the red-headed ghost would look at him oddly with a beguiling smirk without elaborating further.

Thereafter, Aiden no longer questioned.

The night was dark and the round moon hung high above.

As the red-headed ghost looked at Aiden, a deep hint of envy flashed through the depths of his eyes.

This training technique is truly terrifying!

The red-headed ghost lamented internally.

It was an undeniable fact that humans were born innately weak.

However, that demonic training technique could allow a mortal to train his body to such a frightening degree!

He could see every single muscle on Aiden's body twitch imperceptibly with every single breath he exhaled. His tendons quivered, his bones shook, his blood marrow gushed and his orifices shone with a divine light that was brighter than stars!

With every single breath, he was refining his blood, flesh, tendons, bones, skin, organs and orifices!

The red-headed ghost turned his gaze towards Aiden's exposed skin.

As Aiden's training deepened, the surface of his skin turned coarser.

Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the surface of his skin was intertwined with intersecting rhombus scars over and over again!

However, the scars were so subtle that even Aiden did not notice them.

When he saw those scars, the red-headed ghost was delighted and could barely conceal his joy.

Before long, the night passed.

The moment a sliver of daybreak broke out from the horizon, Aiden took a deep breath of air and absorbed the demonic energy in his surroundings back into his body.

Everything vanished completely in the blink of an eye.

Aiden opened his eyes with a demonic glint flashing through.

The red-headed ghost asked in a seemingly pleased manner, "You were originally not… You have once comsumed something from the dragon race… right?"

Aiden was shocked.

The first thing that came to mind was that massive dragon egg.

Aiden said darkly, "Yes… back in the Ancient One's Palace, I've consumed a Blood Flesh Elixir made from the dragon race in order to train a technique left behind by the Ancient One."

"Just an elixir?" The red-headed ghost raised his brow.

After thinking through and deciding that there was nothing to hide, Aiden continued, "Before that, I consumed a dragon egg long ago."

A spark flickered through the red-headed ghost's eyes briefly.

"Heh, you've got quite a bit of guts."

The red-headed ghost said with a fake smile and teasing tone.

Sensing something amiss, Aiden frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing much, I was just asking casually."

The red-headed ghost waved it off with an indifferent expression.

When Aiden could not make out anything from the red-headed ghost's expression, he patted himself and got ready to leave.

"Hold on, hold on!"

Right then, the red-headed ghost gestured for Aiden to sit down and said with a bright grin, "Today, I'm going to teach you something."

Although the red-headed ghost was very knowledgeable, he had not taken the initiative to impart anything to Aiden during their five years of interaction.

His sudden mention had Aiden intrigued.

Right from the beginning, the red-headed ghost had not mentioned anything about his background. As such, Aiden was curious to see what the red-headed ghost could do.

Aiden coughed gently. "Let me say first that I'm not going to learn any puny tricks that you ghosts use."

At the mention of ghost, the red-headed ghost's mouth cramped up and he seemed like he was about to get angry. However, on second thought, he chuckled gloatingly.

At that moment, the sun had just risen.

A sliver of light spilled onto the cemetery and purged away the darkness and spookiness.

The red-headed ghost squinted at the rising sun from the corner of his eyes and a mysterious white glow flashed in his right eye.

As time passed by, that light intensified and sunlight gushed into it endlessly, turning his right eye completely white with a bright glow!

It was as though the red-headed ghost's right eye had achieved harmony with the blazing sun and fused together with it!

Aiden glanced casually and was blinded with two streams of tears rolling down his face instantly.

Alarmed, he closed his eyes immediately and did not dare to look anymore.

How scary!

His eyes were extremely strong after he trained the Ancient Primordial Dragon Manual and cleared both orifices.

Back in the ancient battlefield, even when the paragon of Diamond Monastery released his sect's secret skill, Enraged Diamond Gaze, Aiden was not affected mentally.

But now, his eyes were already dealt with such a blow from a side glance!

If he had looked on directly, his eyes would have most likely gone blind!

The most frightening thing was that even with his eyes closed, Aiden could still sense the power that was given off by the red-headed ghost's right eye!
