The spirit of the Sealed Pagoda stared with wide eyes and a completely dumbfounded expression.

50,000 years ago, the Myriad Poison Sect had committed a grave mistake, leading to the birth of the Spirit of Poison. As a result, their entire sect received a backlash and was almost utterly extinguished before they managed to seal the Spirit of Poison in the Sealed Pagoda.

Since that moment, the spirit of the Sealed Pagoda had been resisting it. Even though it had managed to suppress the Spirit of Poison until now, it knew how terrifying its opponent was.

The Spirit of Poison was different from itself. As time passed, the spirit of the Sealed Pagoda constantly weakened, but through these tens of thousands of years, the Spirit of Poison’s strength actually grew.

This was because to the Spirit of Poison, all of the poisons within the Sealed Pagoda were nourishment from which he could grow.

But such a terrifying Spirit of Poison that would cause a catastrophic loss of life if he managed to escape had actually suffered defeat at the hands of this common-seeming child.

To the spirit of the Sealed Pagoda, this created an intense psychological impact. All of its feelings were in chaos. It had resolved to go all-out, but now it could only stare in blank helplessness.

The Spirit of Poison…how could he be defeated like this?

It wasn’t just the spirit of the Sealed Pagoda that couldn’t understand why. The Spirit of Poison that was being suppressed and having all of his strength plundered was extremely angry at this moment, but also utterly confused.

He thought: I am the Spirit of Poison, born from a trillion poisons! I have received the destructive aura of the world and am exercising my given right to annihilate all before me, so that all beings in this world can mourn and wail as they die. This should be my destiny!

But just as the Spirit of Poison was born, a bunch of old bastards had sacrificed their lives to seal him. Then, another group of fools had thrust him into the Sealed Pagoda at the cost of their lives. And just like that, how many tens of thousands of years had passed while he lived here in captivity? Didn’t he receive the destructive aura of the world? What about his rights to annihilate all life? Shouldn’t all beings in this world mourn and cry because of his existence?

Holy hell, this was too depressing!

Alright, the Great Dao of the world wasn’t perfect, so there were always possibilities for accidents or surprises to occur. But, after being imprisoned and suppressed here for tens of thousands of years, hadn’t he paid a steep enough price? Now, just when he was about to escape captivity, a human boy had rushed in from nowhere. He had looked all around and didn’t discover a single threat from this boy…he had been cautious enough, and yet he had still fallen into a trap!

Is there still justice in this world? Can this Spirit of Poison live at all? Was my birth not to punish those that lived in this world, but to shoulder endless pain and to struggle without end?

Oh great world…are you blind!?

However, the Spirit of Poison couldn’t roar out in his heart anymore. This was because he noticed that in a short period of time, the poisons that his main body had accumulated for tens of thousands of years had disappeared by a tenth. He originally thought that with his extremely deep background, once this boy swallowed too much poison he would just fall over and die.

But things didn’t seem that simple!

And, what horrified the Spirit of Poison the most was that this boy didn’t show any signs that his speed of swallowing was slowing down. Did he really think he could completely swallow the Spirit of Poison?

As the Spirit of Poison thought of this, he was frightened.

Dark and evil spirits were suppressed by the world. Without countless possibilities intersecting together, he would never have been born. Only when he developed wisdom did he learn how impossibly difficult it was for him to appear.

The Spirit of Poison had been imprisoned for tens of thousands of years and at the very end of his captivity he was about to be swallowed up. How could he resign himself to such a fate?

“Don’t panic! It’s said that scourges can last for a thousand years. As the Spirit of Poison, I should be a dire calamity upon this world; I won’t die here so easily!” His thoughts raced and he soon came to a quick judgment of the situation. “Right now, there are only two paths left in front of me. I can either surrender and lead a beggarly life, or struggle one final time!

“This human boy is sinister and crafty, his thoughts incomparably vicious. I have already fallen into his hands and am no different from a fish on the chopping block. How could he let me go so easily? It seems that I can only take the second path!”

The Spirit of Poison’s expression turned fierce, a crazed look on his face. “You want to swallow this Poison Spirit, right? Good, then let me see just how great your appetite is!”

Although he couldn’t escape this mortal body, the Spirit of Poison was still connected to his main body. As he went mad, the black continent in the Sea of Poison began to quake and shake.

Rumble rumble –

The black continent collapsed and disintegrated. Endless black liquid swelled forth like massive tsunamis, gathering from all directions. In several blinks of an eye, it formed a massive black lake.

The spirit of the Sealed Pagoda was panicked. It naturally understood that the Spirit of Poison was going all-out and wanted to use its endless poison to shatter Qin Yu’s swallowing power. If he succeeded, not only would he free himself from this difficult position but he would even reverse things and occupy Qin Yu’s body, controlling the mystical strength in his body.

With Qin Yu’s cultivation, if he could restrain and suppress the Spirit of Poison, he must be borrowing strength from some external power. The spirit of the Sealed Pagoda didn’t know what this was, but it knew that once the Spirit of Poison obtained it, he could become even more powerful than ever before. The consequences would be inconceivable!

No! It had to help Qin Yu succeed; it couldn’t allow the Spirit of Poison to prevail!

The light phantom condensed by the spirit of the Sealed Pagoda hesitated for a brief moment. But soon after, this hesitation became a firm resolve.

All along, its mission had been to preserve and save the beings that lived in this world. Because of this reason, it hadn’t hesitated to use its body as a sacrifice and suppress all poisons within the world.

Today, for the lives of countless trillions of people, what did it matter if it had to give up the freedom of its body?

It lifted a hand towards the point between its eyes. Then, the light phantom gently shivered and a crystal flew out. It was composed of countless shimmering and clear angles, and it radiated a divine light. When this light refracted through its prism, it was unimaginably beautiful.

The spirit of the Sealed Pagoda took a deep breath and pointed a finger down. Then, the diamond-like crystal shot out like an arrow, piercing through the sphere of light and soaring towards the massive lake formed of black liquid.

At this time, the suppressed Spirit of Poison suddenly sensed something. His eyes widened with disbelief and he roared out in anger.

Bang –

The entire black lake wildly boiled over with this roar. A massive mouth rose up from the surface of the lake, soaring towards the crystal and biting down at it.

This black liquid was formed from countless virulent poisons. A single drop could kill a million lives. Yet in front of this fragile-looking crystal, the black liquid seemed like true gentle water.

With a dull popping sound, the massive gaping mouth formed from black liquid was pierced through by the crystal. It tore forwards, emitting crackling sounds.

Low and hollow, it carried with it an unprecedented momentum that shook the heart!

The light phantom’s gaze was complex. “Don’t disappoint me…”

Whoosh –

The crystal arrived between Qin Yu’s eyebrows and then fused into his body without hesitation, vanishing from sight. In the next moment the crystal appeared in his soul space. In response, the purple moon began shining with a greater light, its purple halo sprinkling all around. The deeply slumbering Soul Summoning Bell also began to instinctively shake. Throughout his soul, one could constantly hear the sounds of a ringing bell.

Qin Yu was given a fright. He thought that this was the Spirit of Poison’s final trump card. If it could cause the mysterious purple moon and Soul Summoning Bell to both have such intense reactions, one could imagine how terrifying this counterattack was. But soon, he discovered that although the purple moon was shining brighter than before and the Soul Summoning Bell rang without end, they didn’t attack at all. It was like…they were two peacocks comparing their beauty…

Mm, it was a bit inappropriate to say this, because Qin Yu himself wasn’t a person who could excite them enough to spread out their tail feathers…to be precise, the purple moon and Soul Summoning Bell felt a threat from this crystal and instinctually released their prestige and might. This was a stern warning: we are not easy to mess with!

This left Qin Yu happy and startled at the same time. Up until now, the origin of the purple moon was still a mystery, but he still knew how precious the Soul Summoning Bell was. It was obvious that this crystal was an existence of a similar level. But, how could such a precious treasure appear in his soul space without any warning at all?

After a moment of hesitation, Qin Yu’s soul reached out a hand. The crystal didn’t resist and fell directly atop his palm. Immediately, the aura of his soul marked the crystal. Then countless pieces of information flowed into his mind from the crystal.

It was a monumental amount of information. With Qin Yu’s current soul cultivation, he still felt a bout of dizziness. But soon, he managed to steady himself. Qin Yu shook his head and rubbed his forehead. He peered through the information that entered his mind. Then, a look of surprise flashed across his face, followed by joy.

This was an extremely strange and unexpected harvest!

The information that flowed out from the crystal was more accurately described as an incomparably long memory. From the time it was born in a haze, it continued all the way until this day.

These were the memories of the Sealed Pagoda!

Looking at the crystal in his hand, Qin Yu’s eyes brightened. Before he had fully subdued the Spirit of Poison, he had already achieved his goal in coming here.

The Sealed Pagoda had recognized him as its master on its own initiative…to be more accurate, ever since the Sealed Pagoda was born, this was the first time it had truly recognized someone as master.

The so-called supreme inheritance treasure of the Myriad Poison Sect was the Sealed Pagoda. In reality, the Myriad Poison Sect had only barely managed to obtain the approval of the Sealed Pagoda to utilize its strength after countless years of effort. Both sides had been in a working relationship with each other, and it could even be said that the Sealed Pagoda occupied the advantage. But now, the Sealed Pagoda had chosen Qin Yu as its master.

Of course, after sifting through the memories of the Sealed Pagoda, he easily understood its true intentions for doing what it did. So while he was pleasantly surprised, he didn’t feel any smug satisfaction as if he was destined to obtain it. Rather, what he felt was admiration.

Sealed Pagoda…so you were actually such a Sealed Pagoda!

“Sealed Pagoda, I know that you can hear me. I promise to you that I will not use the strength of the Sealed Pagoda to do anything dishonorable or evil. Otherwise, you can break off your connection with me!”

The Sealed Pagoda’s voice echoed out, “I hope that you can live up to your words. Otherwise, even if I must vanish between the heavens and earth, I will not concede my moral code.”

Qin Yu knew its memories, so he also knew that it wasn’t speaking empty talk. If the Sealed Pagoda said it, it could do it. But his reply also came without hesitation. “Of course, just you wait and see!”

The Sealed Pagoda dove straight into the main point. “Now, I will transfer all my strength into your body and help you suppress the Spirit of Poison’s strength.”

Hum –

The crystal lit up, but in the next moment it was stopped by Qin Yu. He coughed and rubbed his nose. “The truth is that even though the Spirit of Poison is going all-out and risking everything, it’s useless against me.”

Facts were better than any argument. Qin Yu relaxed himself and allowed the spirit of the Sealed Pagoda to sense his current condition.

As for the little blue lamp…while he didn’t know how it accomplished it, but whether it was his Partner Soul Spirit, Undying, or the spirit of the Sealed Pagoda, none of them had been able to sense its existence.

The Sealed Pagoda fell silent for a long time. After a long time, there was a bit of hesitation in its voice. “Myriad Poison Body?”

Qin Yu thought for a moment. From his memories, he recalled that this was a terrifying physique that could swallow myriad poisons and eat them as food. He nodded, “You can think of it like that.”

The Sealed Pagoda fell silent once more.

Qin Yu fully understood the Sealed Pagoda’s current depression. It had originally held up a lofty ideal of sacrificing itself to rescue all the common people of the world, but who would have imagined that all of its actions had been superfluous at the end, ruining its display of heroicness? It simply didn’t have the chance to help out.

In short, its sacrifice was in vain!

“Uh…if you don’t want to, I can unravel the master-servant relationship between us…cough cough…I know It might be a bit difficult, but we could try. Maybe someday…”

The Sealed Pagoda quietly said, “If you hadn’t read my memories, I might be moved by these words. But you clearly know that once I recognize someone as master, there is no longer any chance for me to free myself. It makes your words seem a bit too shameless.”

Qin Yu was extremely embarrassed but he maintained his thick facial skin and kept silent, not saying anything.

What nonsense, he had already eaten the treasure that had fallen between his lips. And disregarding the fact that undoing their connection wouldn’t work to begin with, did anyone really expect him to spit it back out?

That was just a fairytale!

“I am feeling tired. I will leave the rest to you.” As the Sealed Pagoda said this it fell silent. It clearly disappeared somewhere to lick its wounds and soothe its melancholic heart.

Qin Yu naturally had no opinion on this. He had taken all the advantages, so how could he be crass and not allow others to have a little mood? In any case, the uncooked rice had already become porridge; since there was no turning back, it would eventually have to accept the reality of things.

Originally, he was thinking about how to control the Sealed Pagoda and become the genuine master of the Myriad Poison Sect. Only with that status could he obtain the respect of the Black Demon Sect and join the Demon Ascension Gate.

But the harvests were actually large beyond all expectations. Since the Sealed Pagoda had recognized him as its master and was feeling sad, he wouldn’t mention it for the time being. As for the Spirit of Poison who he was swallowing up whole, he was a high-quality villain who had delivered himself to his mouth!

Don’t say anything else, I want to laugh, I can’t hold it anymore!
