Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 1684: Chapter 1016: The Spell Is the Login Password

Qing Guang hurriedly handed over the Soul Flute, while informing Liang Yuan of its usage method.

“These arrays on the Soul Flute must be triggered by specific spells.”

Liang Yuan was somewhat surprised as he looked at the spell for starting the array taught by Qing Guang.

“Is this spell for starting arrays applicable to all magic artifacts?”

Qing Guang hurriedly shook his head: “How could that be possible? Every person who refines magic artifacts has their own special methods. This is related to every array mage and artifact refiners.”

“Basically, every array mage has unique spells, the arrays they inscribe have similar paths.”

Liang Yuan carefully pondered this theory and asked: “Are you an array mage?”

“Uh, you’re joking, I don’t have that ability. In our Netherworld, the strongest array master is True Monarch Houtu, her array skills are second to none across the myriad worlds.”

Liang Yuan was surprised: “True Monarch Houtu?”

He was indeed aware of Lady Houtu, who is also a renowned power in mythology.

Suddenly hearing this name from Qing Guang’s mouth, he felt a sense of familiarity and immediately asked two questions: “She’s still alive?”

“No, how could it be possible, True Monarch Houtu is a figure from the same era as the Blood River Ancestor, immortals like them left long ago to explore the Starry River.”

Liang Yuan felt a bit regretful, yet another legendary figure.

He asked: “Was this magic artifact refined by her?”

“No, no, when I was born, Lady Houtu and others had already gone to the Starry Galaxy.”

“This was refined for me by her descendants, now her descendants are also in the Starry Sky Ancient City, but only a wisp of soul remains.”

“Because array mages have relatively strong spiritual power, she can last until now.”

“The current soul path was constructed by her, if it weren’t for her, we would have to quietly cultivate in the Starry Sky Ancient City, waiting for new Star God level immortals to come, only then we could leave that ghostly place.”

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but ask: “Is she one of your Ten Great True Monarchs?”

“Yes, she inherited the title of Houtu, and is now the True Monarch Houtu of this generation.”

Liang Yuan nodded slightly, trying to activate the Soul Flute.

The flute immediately emitted a series of eerie glows, sure enough, a soul body inside was giving feedback to Liang Yuan.

Qing Guang smiled obsequiously: “Master, if you like this magic artifact, this humble one can give it to you.”

“This magic artifact just requires the removal of this humble one’s spiritual imprint, and you can imprint your own spiritual brand anew, thus it will be reacknowledged by a new master.”

Liang Yuan found it intriguing, and began to inquire carefully: “Tell me about this process of recognition.”

“Yes.”

Qing Guang hurriedly nodded and began to explain the so-called recognition to Liang Yuan.

After listening, Liang Yuan roughly understood what this so-called recognition was about.

The recognition is essentially using one’s spiritual power in a special manner to condense into a rune and embed it into the array of the magic artifact.

Henceforth the array of the magic artifact can be manipulated according to your will.

In fact, using modern thinking, this so-called recognition is somewhat like giving the array a key.

Only the spiritual brand rune you condense can fit the array, only you can activate the array later.

And the spell to activate the array is somewhat like facial verification.

Just like the sentry robots now developed by Yangshan.

Every sentry robot has a unique identification code, only logging in with the correct code can activate the sentry robot.

And activating the sentry robot is just the first step, the key is to verify related other information, and only then can one correctly manipulate the sentry robot.

In this perspective, it seems like there’s no essential difference between the two.

The ancient magic artifacts, placed in today’s context, are merely superpower equipment.

Liang Yuan felt deeply, though the technology is different, essentially they are the same.

All utilize superpower runes, arranged into arrays, then exert the power of superpower equipment.

It’s just that everyone calls it differently.

At the moment Liang Yuan handed the Soul Flute to Ma Ning, saying: “Take the soul to the Reincarnation Platform over there.”

“Yes, master.”

Ma Ning received the Soul Flute and quickly left here.

Liang Yuan then said to Qing Guang: “Return to your flesh, next focus on cultivation and recover your strength early.”

“I estimate many of your old mates will come over later, hehe.”

Qing Guang hurriedly said: “For them to enter Master’s subordinates as slaves, it’s their fortune.”

Liang Yuan smirked, these people once embedded into the Soul Imprisonment Rune, have completely become his slaves.

Whatever they think, revolves around him.

Liang Yuan naturally wouldn’t take their words to heart.

He asked: “Tell me, do you know if the Blood River Ancestor subdued an ancient exotic beast back then?”

Qing Guang was stunned, thought for a moment, and asked: “Are you referring to the Xiangliu that was beheaded by Emperor Huang?”

Liang Yuan nodded and said: “Yes, you know this exotic beast?”

“I have seen this exotic beast. After Xiangliu was beheaded by Emperor Huang, it fled the Central Plains.”

“Later, spiritual energy dried up, the End of Dharma Era arrived, the major grotto heavens hurriedly found ways to divide the spiritual energy of the human realm, closed the grotto heavens, preserved the total amount of spiritual energy to alleviate the method of spiritual energy exhaustion.”

“Besides that, every grotto heaven looked for an exotic beast to carry spiritual energy within its body, to supply the spiritual energy supply issues of the entire grotto heaven blessed land.”

“In the Netherworld, the Blood River Ancestor fancied that Xiangliu.”

“This beast is about to become immortal, but due to being beheaded by Emperor Huang, its strength was damaged, it fled offshore barely surviving.”

“It is said there was a Fusang Island offshore, this beast seemingly escaped to Fusang Island and was worshipped as a demon god by the ignorant islanders.”

“It once swallowed half the population of Fusang Island in one breath.”

“Until the Blood River Ancestor and various masters from the Netherworld went over together and subdued this demon beast.”

Liang Yuan immediately asked: “How was it subdued?”

“This…as far as I know, this beast was sealed by the Blood River Ancestor in a certain place with an array, providing spiritual power for the entire Netherworld.”

“Specifically where it was sealed, we don’t know.”

Liang Yuan slightly narrowed his eyes, it seems the Blood River Ancestor seal against Xiangliu, although a grand move, ultimately didn’t disclose where it was sealed to anyone.

But this is normal, after all, if this beast truly relates to the entire Netherworld’s spiritual energy supply, then naturally it is of great importance.

Keeping this secret is also quite normal.

Liang Yuan reminisced over the situation regarding the Eight-headed Great Serpent, pondering deeply.

“Perhaps to deal with that Xiangliu (Eight-headed Great Serpent), ultimately it’s about that mysterious sword!”

…

Meanwhile, in the Ryukyu South Sea, Liang Yuan’s body suddenly opened its eyes.

His gaze traversed the heavy waves and fell upon the Eight-headed Great Serpent beneath the sea.

Especially its tail that had been breached.

The blood-red sword entwined with countless chains was deeply inserted into the serpent’s tail.

Looking at those chains again, they seem to resemble the veins on the Eight-headed Great Serpent, as if growing on it.

Liang Yuan’s gaze flickered: “According to Qing Guang’s words, the magic artifacts of their era all have unique activation methods and refining techniques.”

“This blood-red sword must also be a magic artifact.”

“Thus it must have corresponding refining techniques, but where is this refining technique?”

Liang Yuan’s mind wandered, the Blood River Ancestor surely knew the spell method to refine this blood-red sword.

After all, it was originally his weapon.

But now the Blood River Ancestor has long entered the Starry River to explore the flood origin.

So whom is he most likely to pass this spell to?
