113: Chapter 112 Fragments of the True Spirit!!

Chapter 112: True Spirit Fragment!! (Seeking subscription and monthly votes)

The Shanjun Temple secret realm was indeed as Yang Xinyue had said; it was not large, and could even be said to be viewable in a single glance.

The north wind howled, heavy snow flew, the solitary mountain reflected the snow, and the dark green pines dotted the scenery.

Beneath Sun Po's feet was a path covered in accumulated snow, leading straight to the mountaintop,

and on the mountaintop amidst the wind and snow, a dilapidated temple was faintly visible.

A solitary mountain, a snowy night, a dilapidated temple, and a late-night traveler returning home—this was the entirety of the Shanjun Temple.

Suddenly, Sun Po discovered that his perspective had changed; the lens perspective of the Black Rhino Armor in his eyes had vanished.

Looking closer, sure enough, his Black Rhino Armor had actually disintegrated.

At this moment, he had transformed into a delicate and pretty scholar carrying a book basket on his back and wearing a Confucian robe.

He hurried over to a nearby puddle to take a look at his reflection,

Sun Po found that his appearance was identical to the Wrongfully Deceased Scholar on the card,

it was just that his complexion at the moment was no different from an ordinary person's, and there were no blood and tears flowing from his eyes.

That Confucian robe was precisely the one worn on the card face of the Wrongfully Deceased Scholar,

however, the Confucian robe on his body, although looking washed to a whitish hue, was not tattered.

Several thread-bound blue-covered books poked out from the book basket, and those books looked quite ancient and old,

with the corners of the books somewhat curled, obviously having been perused frequently by someone.

A huge doubt arose in Sun Po's mind: "Where is my Black Rhino Armor? Is this an illusion?"

But how could a mere C-rank secret realm have an illusion capable of rendering Wuzhiqi's golden pupils completely unresponsive?

Furthermore, if there truly were an illusion, why had Yang Xinyue not reminded him?

At this moment, Wuzhiqi's voice came over: "Master, this secret realm has a problem,

it seems that due to the timeline changes of the past few days, the boundary wall of this secret realm has become extremely fragile,

right now, driven by the fate traction of that true spirit fragment, this secret realm seems to have become entangled with the same secret realm from another timeline,

and some peculiar changes have occurred."

Sun Po was blankly bewildered: "True spirit fragment? Fate traction? Then what about this change in me?"

Sun Po felt that in front of Wuzhiqi, he was becoming more and more like an ill-educated person; he could not even fully understand some of its words.

Wuzhiqi also explained: "At this moment, Master, you are precisely the past life of the Wrongfully Deceased Scholar.

This Wrongfully Deceased Scholar contains a portion of the true spirit fragments,

and since Master's fate is linked to it, you have now transformed into its past life within this peculiar secret realm.

Meanwhile, the majority of the true spirit fragments of the same origin are in this dilapidated mountaintop temple. The trajectory of their fates was originally no longer intersecting,

and this Wrongfully Deceased Scholar would only have been an ordinary gray card. But because of Master's existence,

these scattered true spirit fragments have intersected with it once more. If those true spirit fragments are retrieved,

the Wrongfully Deceased Scholar will be able to obtain a complete true spirit, thereby becoming a True Spirit Card."

Sun Po more or less understood. Once this secret realm was cleared,

the Wrongfully Deceased Scholar would be able to awaken into a True Spirit Card.

Combined with that voice in his mind just now, to put it bluntly,

this secret realm could allow the Wrongfully Deceased Scholar to awaken into Huang Chao!!

By then, if he loaded him with Zhong Kui, two gods of slaughter,

one steps across the bones of dukes and ministers on the heavenly street, while the other devours all the evil ghosts of the three realms.

Adding these two together, what kind of sight would that be?

Sun Po felt burning hot in his heart and replied: "What are we waiting for?

Wuzhiqi! Come on!! Directly deploy Tianhe Budu,

control the Calamity Heavenly River to unleash a flood and wash everything over first,

and by then, regardless of whatever Shanjun or Huchang there are, they will all have to die!!"

This was also Sun Po's initial plan.

Are you kidding? With a full set of orange and golden cards, playing house with such a tiny, fart-sized secret realm?

Direct leveling and violent crushing were the righteous path. No matter what weirdness or danger the Shanjun Temple had,

he would not even step foot into the temple. What would it matter if a great flood washed away your dilapidated temple?

Sun Po was just about to summon the Black Rhino Armor and Wuzhiqi,

but Wuzhiqi's next words poured a basin of cold water over Sun Po:

"Master, if we act like this,

I am afraid the Wrongfully Deceased Scholar will find it hard to ever recover the true spirit fragments."

Sun Po did not understand again: "Why?"

Wuzhiqi's voice rang out: "Because I am too strong."

Sun Po fell silent. Was it being so unhumble?

Immediately following that, Wuzhiqi explained:

"Master, I am currently an ancient deity, a righteous god of heaven and earth, and also a calamity god of heaven and earth.

A small secret realm whose boundary wall is extremely fragile like this, coupled with the peculiar entanglement phenomenon with secret realms of other timelines,

is already extremely unstable. If I make a move, it will likely directly trigger vibrations in the secret realm, causing the fate trajectory of those true spirit fragments to change.

If those true spirit fragments flow into the torrent of the River of Fate, it will be even harder to trace their whereabouts."

Sun Po understood. His own card was too strong, and the secret realm he entered was too weak, resulting in him getting banned.

He asked helplessly: "Then since we cannot fight, how should these true spirit fragments be retrieved?"

Wuzhiqi said: "Master, I will constantly listen to the voice of fate of the true spirit fragments and listen to their movements,

at this time, Master, you are playing the past life of this Wrongfully Deceased Scholar, so you will retrace the path of back then,

go up the mountain, enter the temple, and seek out the true spirit fragments.

I cannot make a move, but Master, you can make a move."

Sun Po was speechless in his heart. As a Card Maker, he was almost turning into a card himself,

needing Wuzhiqi to act as a military strategist while he went into battle himself as a hired thug.

But this was also a helpless matter; who told only Wuzhiqi to be able to hear this voice of fate, and its strength and status were ridiculously high.

He lowered the book basket on his back and chanted silently in his heart: "Black Rhino Armor!! Merge!!"

The mighty and domineering armor appeared in response to his call, but Sun Po suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and immediately the Black Rhino Armor disintegrated once more.

Only then did Sun Po notice that the calamity qi reactor on the chest of the Black Rhino Armor had completely dimmed.

Sun Po breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "So the calamity qi stored in the calamity qi reactor has been used up,

the Black Rhino Armor automatically extracted my spirituality, but I did not notice it, which caused the armor to disintegrate."

Sun Po had originally thought that the Black Rhino Armor could not be summoned due to some special reason either,

but looking at it now, it was merely because of insufficient energy that the armor disintegrated. It was just a false alarm.

For Sun Po, calamity qi was currently so abundant that it could never be used up. The calamity qi stored in emperor yus ding plus the calamity qi self-produced by Tianhe Budu

were enough to fill the calamity qi reactor countless times. This minor matter was completely not a problem.

He connected his mind with emperor yus ding and the Black Rhino Armor, and wisps of calamity qi poured into the calamity qi reactor.

Within Tianhe Budu, the rhinoceros-shaped pattern on the chest of the Black Rhino Armor lit up once more, ready to be summoned at any time.

At this point, Sun Po's heart settled greatly. He looked at the card of the Wrongfully Deceased Scholar that was still trembling incessantly,

within it, only the dazzlingly golden zhong daos ghost-slaying sword hung high on the card face,

but through the voice when he first entered the secret realm, Sun Po knew that the Wrongfully Deceased Scholar was still there,

it had simply formed a peculiar state with zhong daos ghost-slaying sword.

Sun Po clenched his fists and said: "Rest assured. Since we are starting over once more, I will surely make you, Huang Chao, no longer die wrongfully at the mouth of a fierce tiger."
