As soon as Duong stepped through the Four Spirits Gate, a sudden but familiar feeling of change in the atmosphere spread through him, quite similar to the previous times he stepped through the spiritual gate.
The problem was, where did the people who entered the gate before Duong go, when in front of Duong was just a small deserted island. It was called an island, but there was no sea, all around was just vast sky and clouds.
– Where is this? – Duong asked curiously.
Google replied:
– The Twenty-Eight Constellations, a group of 28 small islands belonging to the Four Spirits Archipelago, an archipelago in the sky sealed in another dimension. The Twenty-Eight Constellations, corresponding to 28 constellations divided into four groups representing the four sacred constellations according to ancient astronomical concepts. The four sacred constellations include the Eastern Golden Dragon, the Western Wood Qilin, the Northern Ice Turtle, and the Southern Fire Phoenix.
– Ah…
Hearing Google say that, Duong looked around and indeed saw a couple of other islands looming in the clouds. He curiously walked to the edge of the current island to look, but was blocked by an invisible wall.
– A kind of barrier? Is there a way to break it, Google? – Duong continued to ask.
– This is an eternal barrier that can only be broken by spiritual power at the Lord level or higher.
– Ah! So I’m locked here? Where is the Four Spirits Gate?
Duong opened his eyes wide, only then realizing that the four-spirit door had also disappeared.
Google replied:
– Twenty-eight constellations, in theory, every 28 years, each island will condense a Star Spirit Pearl. When all 28 Star Spirit Pearls are removed from their original positions, the entrances to the large central islands will open, and only then will the Four Spirits Gate reappear.
– So this island also has a Star Spirit Pearl?
Duong asked, looking around, he discovered a bronze buffalo statue standing on an ancient stone pedestal in the middle of the island. This buffalo statue was twice as big as a normal buffalo, its body was carved with many strange patterns, and in the middle of the statue’s forehead was a gem that emitted a shimmering light.
Having had professional experience in this world, Duong was not foolish enough to believe that it was an ordinary statue. He immediately called out the Black Gold Holy Revelation in his ring, wrapped it into a mechanical arm, and carefully approached.
It’s never too late to be careful. As soon as Duong tiptoed and reached out to touch the star spirit pearl, the bronze buffalo statue immediately moved. Duong quickly ran back and shouted triumphantly:
– I knew it! I don’t need Google to know you’re plotting to beat me up!
The buffalo just woke up and looked at Duong with fierce eyes, two sharp horns sticking out, snorting, feet stomping the ground.
Duong looked seriously at the bronze buffalo, secretly asking himself:
What level is this one?
– Ngưu Kim Ngưu, one of the seven guardian beasts of the Northern Ice Turtle, its current spiritual power is at level 3 Spirit Support!
– Are you kidding?
Duong asked in disbelief, just as the buffalo charged fiercely.
Pop!!!
Yes! There was a thud! Yang was still standing firmly, his black metallic mechanical arm raised high to block the bronze buffalo’s mouth. It looked light but the buffalo was completely unable to move another step.
– It’s just a level 3 Spirit Sergeant, yet he’s acting dangerous!
Same level of spiritual power, but has the advantage of Holy Treasure. Duong laughed mockingly, jumped up and threw a punch that easily knocked down the bronze buffalo.
– I can handle it all!
Duong said proudly, reaching out to remove the star spirit pearl on Nguu Kim Nguu’s forehead. The somewhat familiar feeling when touching the spirit pearl made Duong couldn’t help but exclaim:
– Isn’t this the spiritual power of heaven and earth? Is it so dense?
Yes, it was the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that you, the ox, had condensed over the course of several decades. This star spirit pearl was considered a reward for each time you defeated a guardian star beast. Although it was of the same nature as natural spiritual energy, thanks to the special condensation method, when an ordinary person swallowed the star spirit pearl, they could gradually use their energy to absorb a portion of this spiritual energy to develop their soul and recover their spiritual energy at a slow pace. As for Yang, who used the Heaven and Earth Devouring Technique, he could completely absorb the entire spirit pearl in a very short period of time.
Steam it while it’s hot!
Thinking is doing, Duong held the star spirit pearl in his hand, sat down cross-legged, and used the Devouring Heaven and Earth technique to absorb it. During the process of circulating his energy, Duong discovered that the surrounding spiritual energy was extremely fragile, this was because over the past thousands of years, the spiritual energy produced here had all been condensed into the spirit pearl.
With the current Devouring Heaven and Earth layer, Yang would probably need several hours to completely absorb the spiritual energy of several decades scattered throughout the island, but it only took a few minutes for Yang to absorb the entire spirit pearl with the same amount of spiritual energy, thanks to that, he had reached the average level of a level 3 Spirit Assistant to the level 4 Spirit Assistant, an unimaginable cultivation speed!
– Swallowing ten more pills might make me a Spirit General! Thanks, buffalo!
Duong happily patted Nguu Kim Nguu’s head a few times then walked towards the stone platform in the middle of the island, where the Nguu Kim Nguu statue originally stood. The stone platform was now emitting a soft light that Duong could tell was the gate to another island.
When the guardian beast is defeated, the stone platform will activate into a teleportation gate, which is special in that this gate randomly teleports to one of the remaining islands, and of course, on the condition that the guardian beast of the island being teleported to has not been defeated and the spirit pearl has not been taken.
