HSS143: A cooked duck can also fly

As the Underground Splitting Shuttle progressed, its pointed end suddenly hit thin air, facing much less resistive force as it seemed to have pierced through to somewhere.

In what had originally been a pitch black underground world, a large quantity of purple light suddenly appeared, dazzling and eye-catching.

“ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!”

Residing within the Underground Splitting Shuttle, Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu could hear the incessant buzzing of electricity flowing.

The two blinked momentarily. Opening their eyes once more, they saw that in the midst of the underground layer of rock actually existed a massive cave.

A little purple light of thunder hovered in mid-air within the empty underground cave. With it as their centre, bolts of purple lightning were dancing about within the surrounding space incessantly.

On the walls of the cave surfaced numerous indistinct runes, their spiritual qi silent and peaceful.

The runes intermingled, red and white, resembling flames and ice combining.

The two spiritual qis of harsh winter and unbearable heat congregated, guarding the purple light of thunder in their midst, while also preventing the electrical energy within from leaking outwards.

At the same time, cold and hot maintained an equilibrium, not a single bit of coldness or hotness dissipating to the outside world.

The brightest purple light of thunder in the middle was shrouded in fog, that resembled a clump of violent thunderclouds.

Within those thunderclouds, a purple orb that was fully the size of a human fist was visible at times whilst obscured at others.

Looking at that orb, Yan Zhaoge snapped his fingers, “It is indeed so.”

Ah Hu stared wide-eyed, “According to the legends, the Sacred Artifact fragment that Old Man Great Sorrow obtained transformed into a purple orb shrouded by lightning, but it was only around the size of an egg. This one is quite a lot bigger than that ah.”

“Is this the manifestation of another Sacred Artifact fragment?”

Yan Zhaoge said, “That’s right. It was probably that the autonomous spirituality of this Sacred Artifact fragment being too strong, Old Man Great Sorrow was hard pressed to take it for himself and wield it despite having found it that year.”

“Thus, he set up this spirit formation, wanting to relying on grinding, slowly refining this Sacred Artifact fragment over time.”

Yan Zhaoge surveyed their surroundings, looking at those numerous spirit patterns of fire and ice intermingling, “Sadly, his longevity reached an end before he was able to completely do so.”

Ah Hu asked whilst stuttering a little, “Young…Young Master, you calculated all of this from the remnant words on Old Man Great Sorrow’s coffin?”

Now, he understood why Yan Zhaoge had replicated Old Man Great Sorrow’s spirit formation back in the Underground Splitting Shuttle earlier.

It had been as a guide, making use of the traces left behind by Old Man Great Sorrow to guide the Underground Splitting Shuttle to arrive here.

Yan Zhaoge shrugged, “Since we were riding the Underground Splitting Shuttle and entering deep underground to avoid the pursuit of the blazing fire and lava, we might as well just try it out.”

“Those remnant words of flame left behind on the coffin stayed untouched throughout the ravages of time-from this, it can be seen how intense Old Man Great Sorrow’s regret was that year, almost nearing the point of obsession.”

“To the point that his essence, energy and spirit were condensed to such a point right before he died,” Looking at that purple orb within those thunderclouds, Yan Zhaoge sighed, “We can also be considered as having benefited from this senior’s grace.”

Whether it had been that Sacred Artifact fragment that Lin Zhou had beaten them to or this one right before their eyes, both of them had been slowly refined over time by Old Man Great Sorrow.

Otherwise, let alone Martial Scholars, even a Martial Grandmaster like Old Man Great Sorrow would have been hard pressed to relaxedly grasp and wield it as his own.

Ah Hu grinned, “Young Master, although I haven’t seen the other Sacred Artifact fragment, with reference to the rumours and looking at this fragment right here once more, they should originate from the same Spiritual Artifact.”

Looking at that thundercloud, Yan Zhaoge’s voice was faintly discernible, “That’s right, it’s the same.”

“It’s named the Eye of the Thunder Emperor, and also Thunder Emperor’s Pupil.”

Exiting the Underground Splitting Shuttle, Yan Zhaoge took flight, stepping on the air and approaching that purple orb.

Just as he appeared, crackling noises began to resonate within the surrounding space, before numerous lightning snakes materialised within the air, simultaneously launching an assault!

Neither panicked nor harried, Yan Zhaoge swiped with his fingers within the air, tracing out numerous spirit patterns.

His aura-qi formed spirit patterns, remaining within the air, not dissipating in a long time.

The surrounding spiritual qi instantly pulsed, leading the numerous spirit patterns of fire and ice that intermingled on the surrounding stone walls to suddenly glow brightly.

A great amount of radiance emanated, intercrossing in mid-air.

Touched by this radiance, the numerous lightning bolts that had originally been chopping towards Yan Zhaoge instantly calmed down once more, taking the form of scattered bits of electricity as they dissipated within the air.

Walking on the air, Yan Zhaoge arrived at the boundary of the thunderclouds.

After observing carefully and feeling the flow of spiritual qi within for a moment, Yan Zhaoge directly extended his hands to touch the thunderclouds.

The intermingling spirit patterns of ice and fire on the surrounding stone walls shone as numerous streaks of red and also white light landed on Yan Zhaoge’s body.

While a huge amount of purplish-blue electricity also spe
