Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 164
Chapter 164: Advice
Wei Huo had reached the Domain level. There was no need for him to absorb the soul gem. He could crush the soul gem and search for the memories he wanted.
Soon, Wei Huo obtained the method and control of the Human-Slaughtering Array. The Human-Slaughtering Array was powerful. It was said that it could trap and kill an Epic-ranked expert if it was controlled by 72 Rare-ranked experts. If 72 Epic-ranked experts were controlling it, they could kill a Legendary-ranked expert. Unfortunately, Epic-ranked creatures were not that easy to come by.
The Naga did not even have 11 Epic-ranked creatures. One of their strongest members had been killed by Wei Huo’s slap.
Wei Huo could use this array because his Divine Sense was powerful enough to control 72 pieces. It could trap a Legendary creature but not kill it. Legendary creatures were not easy to kill.
The Great Ancestor had yet to become a true Legendary-level being. He did not understand the secrets of the Legendary level. The lifespan of a Legendary-level body was unlimited because a Legendary-level being could control molecular atoms and allow their body to be revived forever. Just by relying on laser attacks, he could only trap Legendary-level beings at most, but he could not kill them.
The small hole on Wei Huo’s arm did not bleed. It recovered in about 10 seconds.
Apart from setting up and controlling the Human-Slaughtering Array, Wei Huo also obtained a cultivation technique. It was a cultivation technique created by the Great Ancestor for the Naga. It was very impressive that the Naga had cultivated to the Epic stage. Wei Huo accepted the technique with a smile. He could modify it for humans.
Then, Wei Huo obtained the controlling method of the bronze cauldron. The bronze cauldron could shrink in size like a magical weapon. It could also be controlled with the Divine Thought to suppress enemies.
In the end, Wei Huo finally obtained the memories of the peerless savage. She was a woman wrapped in light, so he could not see her face clearly. She was holding a magic longbow in her hand and could shoot seven different arrows of different colors. Each arrow had different attack effects.
Wei Huo flipped through the memories carefully. The Great Ancestor had been young back then, so he had not seen much. He only knew that the savage had appeared and fought with the tribe’s elders. She was an Epic-ranked creature, but she had used her magic longbow to shoot three Epic-ranked Naga. A flaming arrow had broken through the air and burned the Naga’s city.
The more Wei Huo looked at the figure, the more familiar he found it. His intuition told him that this person might be Lu Qiqi. As the time halt had not yet ended, it was impossible for other humans to exist 200 years ago unless they were artificial intelligence. She had obtained some magical heritage in the West Continent and extended her lifespan. Because she had a soul, she had broken through to the Epic stage.
However, this was just a guess. Perhaps it was not Lu Qiqi but someone else.
Wei Huo asked System Number Two, “Do you remember this person?”
Wei Huo had previously asked System Number Two about Lu Qiqi’s situation. However, after System Number Two’s investigation, it only answered with a few words. “No one has found this person.”
Both artificial intelligence and humans had been unable to find any information about Lu Qiqi. There were many people named Lu Qiqi, but none of them was the Lu Qiqi Wei Huo knew.
Wei Huo suddenly thought of the note. The content of the note might have a deeper meaning, but Wei Huo did not understand it.
The note was probably a hint left behind by Lu Qiqi to tell him that they would meet in the Northern Continent in the 300th century. Wei Huo had found his neighborhood, but Lu Qiqi had gotten lost and accidentally destroyed a city of the Naga.
Wei Huo was confused. Had she not used navigation?
However, it would be unreasonable if the system did not have Lu Qiqi’s information. After all, Lu Qiqi had been an artificial being in the beginning. The information must have been recorded, unless a mighty figure had deleted the data.
After he destroyed the Great Ancestor, Wei Huo’s luck soared. He searched through the crowd of Naga and found over 70 kilograms of Mithril. He also found all sorts of bronze weapons. There were even bronze minerals in a cave.
This was the advantage of luck!
Wei Huo did not kill all the Naga. He did not kill anyone who surrendered, as he wanted to use them to mine. Besides, Wei Huo was still there. He would not leave immediately, as he had yet to break through the tower.
He eliminated all the rebels who were still in the crowd of Naga. He then chose the strongest Naga out of the surrendered parties and asked him to lead the Naga and order them to mine. Wei Huo did not care about anything else except for the Naga.
The surrenderers realized that Wei Huo was no different from the Great Ancestor. The Great Ancestor had only cultivated in seclusion all day and had not cared about the internal affairs of the Naga.
However, the surviving rebels and escapees did not recognize Wei Huo as their leader. The escapees kept running away. They wanted to stay away and try to destroy Wei Huo’s plan. The surrenderers’ previous lives did not change much. Wei Huo could not be bothered to pay attention to them.
He planned to stay in the crowd of Naga to cultivate and improve his strength. He also wanted to find the old monk and practice the Taiji Fist. His intuition told him that the Taiji Fist was not ordinary. However, the old monk had practiced the 24th simplified Taiji Fist that was used to nourish one’s life. This was not an orthodox heritage.
The old monk’s temple was less than 70 kilometers away. To Wei Huo, this was like going out to buy cigarettes.
When he reached the small mountain, the temperature was still cool. The forest was on fire outside, but this place was still safe.
When he arrived at the top of the mountain, the old monk was meditating. He had no thoughts on his mind, and he was completely silent. However, as soon as Wei Huo appeared, the air started vibrating. He immediately opened his eyes.
“Benefactor Wei, we meet again. You’re here for the Dragon Lock Well, aren’t you?” the old monk said. “The Dragon Lock Well is a really unlucky place. Please don’t go in. More than 10 years ago, a mischievous child accidentally entered it. He came out with immense strength and the ability to swim freely in the water.”
Wei Huo was speechless. Are you using this story to persuade me?
Wei Huo said, “No, I’m here to learn the Taiji Fist.”
The old monk shook his head. “I understand. Learning the Taiji Fist is just an excuse. Your real goal is the Dragon Lock Well. You really can’t barge in there. A few years ago, an old man with cancer wanted to go in and take a look. He said that he was about to die. That was his last wish. This penniless monk was soft-hearted enough to let him in. When he came out, not only did the cancer go away, but he lived for 10 more years!”
Wei Huo was speechless.
Are you really trying to persuade me not to take on the challenge of the Dragon Lock Well? What kind of place is this? It’s obviously an auspicious place, isn’t it?
Wei Huo said earnestly, “Master, I’m really here to learn the Taiji Fist!”
The old monk sighed. “Forget it. Given your strength, I can’t stop you. I’ll take you to the Dragon Lock Well. However, according to the rumors, anyone who enters the Dragon Lock Well will encounter misfortune in their old years. Their blood will turn blue, and they will not be able to hold their breath when they die. They will only leave after struggling for three to four days. It’s very painful!”
Wei Huo pulled the old monk back. “Master, I’m really here to learn the Taiji Fist. I don’t want to go to the Dragon Lock Well.”
