Chapter 2489 A Soul Container

Xiao Yin's acquisition of the Spine wasn't something Lin Mu had expected when he first came here, but it was certainly a pleasant surprise now.

While its actions were quite concerning at first, Lin Mu wondered if there was more to it.

"What else is it saying? Why did it attack us?" Lin Mu decided to ask.

Xiao Yin communicated with the Punishing Demon Spine Lash and relayed it to Lin Mu.

"It says that it was the command that was last given to it. It was to guard the Crystal and wait for its master to come." Xiao Yin spoke. "Is that why it stopped after seeing you?" Lin Mu wondered.

"Yes, it finds me compatible with it and that I can nurture it so that it can recover its full potential." Xiao Yin replied. "I also feel like I can control the power within it." She added.

"Hmm... It does use Baleful Energy, which are of the Yin Attribute." Lin Mu muttered. While both Xiao Yang and Xiao Yin were mostly resistant to Baleful Energy, only Xiao Yin could actually consume and convert it to pure Yin. As such, it made sense that she was suited to using it.

Plus, considering her high affinity to the Yin Element, perhaps there won't be many others that might find the Punishing Demon Spine Lash compatible with them. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Well, you have your storage gem, so you can keep it in there." Lin Mu reckoned things had sorted themselves out.

"Yes!" Xiao Yin was now excited.

She had been wondering what kind of weapon she'll be able to get but it wasn't like Lin Mu could just as for a Peak Grade Immortal Weapon for her. Especially one that was compatible with her.

But fate seemed to be in her favor and now she had one for herself. ~SHUA~

She quickly stored the Punishing Demon Spine Lash away and found no issues with it.

"Give me a while. The polyhedral crystal is quite resistant to probing. If I use too much power it might just break." Xukong replied, making Lin Mu a bit surprised.

'Didn't expect it to be this complex,' Lin Mu thought to himself.

With that done, the group decided to do one last sweep of the cave to ensure they didn't miss anything and left. "Crown Prince, is everything fine?" Commander Dui, who had set up a security perimeter on the surface, asked. "We heard a lot of explosions and the ground shook." "Things are fine now." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "The mission is a success." He said with a smile.

"Thank Heavens." Commander Dui took a breath of relief too. "Should I order them to mobilize?" he asked.

"Do it. We'll be heading straight back to the Capital City. We've acquired something that needs a properly analysis by the Formation Grand masters and Immortal Tool refiners. We'll also need the Temple's assistance for this," Crown Prince Feng Shun ordered.

"Yes!" Commander Dui replied before quickly acting out the orders.

In just fifteen minutes, the ship was back in the sky and was heading back to the Capital City.

~WHOOSH~

The winds blew over Lin Mu's face as his hair fluttered in it.

He was sitting cross legged in the crow's nest at the highest point in the ship and was mediating. It was private and gave him quite a good view of the scene from all angles, after all.

Lin Mu checked his body throughly for any signs of damage and remnant Baleful energy to be sure that it was all cleared out. And while he was doing this, Xukong finally spoke again.

"I think I know what the Polyhedral Crystal is now." Xukong stated. "It's a Soul Container." He revealed.

"A Soul Container?" Lin Mu woke up from his meditation right away.

"Yes... That Indigo wisp inside it is most likely a soul." Xukong confirmed.
