Chapter 765: The Lamp is in My Hands
Ling Yi was seen off.
Gu Heng brewed himself another pot of hot tea, sat in the pavilion, and began to think about his next plan.
"Golden Bird, what do you think?"
Gu Heng asked about the golden bird on his shoulder.
"I have indeed heard of this person. The Most Demonic Tower has a total of thirty-one special envoys, each of whom is connected to one of the demonic realms. I suppose this person is the special envoy who is specifically connected to the Scorching Sun Demonic Realm."
"The Demon Realm has thirty domains, and each domain has one, so where is the special envoy?"
“Oh, that person has a rather special identity. He doesn’t connect with any demonic realms and only undertakes important tasks assigned by the Demon Tower. His title is ‘Night Shadow Demon Emperor,’ a ninth-level Demon Emperor and the head of the Five Emperors.” Gu Heng understood this perfectly, and then scoffed.
"That Ling Yi isn't that great, but he acts all high and mighty like he has some big shot backing him. I really want to punch him in the face."
"Yes, that's true. But Mr. Gu is really good at holding back. I almost wanted to just devour him!"
The golden bird echoed this sentiment.
But it secretly thought to itself, "They really do have powerful backers."
Ling Yi's strength was only around the fifth or sixth level of the Demon Emperor realm. After all, apart from the Night Shadow Demon Emperor, the other special envoys of the Demon Tower were just mouthpieces. They didn't need to do any hard work; having the strength of a Demon Emperor was enough to maintain appearances.
But he actually had the audacity to call Mr. Gu a "pretty boy"!
Have you ever seen such a powerful and skilled pretty boy?
What woman in this world is worthy of him living off her?
It's only because Mr. Gu is so powerful and happy to hear criticism, and probably because Ling Yi has the background of the Most Demonic Tower, that he wasn't knocked down with just two punches.
Golden Bird doubted whether he would be killed by a single punch.
"So, Mr. Gu, are you planning to get involved in the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal's legacy treasure trove?"
It had been listening to Ling Yi and his conversation the whole time, and Gu Heng knew that the bird wasn't stupid and could probably guess what was going on.
He did indeed hear the whole story, but it was still relatively new information for the Golden Bird.
Qingluo actually possesses the bloodline of rebellion!
This kind of identity is basically hated by everyone in the demon realm!
The golden bird had never participated in hunting those cultivators with rebellious bloodlines, since deliberately hunting humans was unnecessary for a demon beast like it, but it had seen it many times.
There's nothing we can do. We're all just trying to survive in this world. Even the most ruthless person in the Five Realms lost, so this is the fate of his followers.
If the Crimson Flame Demon Fairy can win.
They are the ones who benefited from the rise of the emperor, and it's no surprise that even their chickens and dogs rise to power; it's naturally others who suffer the consequences.
It can only be said that the times were wrong, and they could only become a wisp of dust in the long river of history.
"Hmm, I have to get involved. I have a feeling that the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal's legacy treasure vault definitely contains the crucial information I need!"
Gu Heng didn't want to do it in the first place, but now he has no choice but to do it.
The system even temporarily issued a task for this purpose; this is not a hint, but a clear indication!
We must hurry and seize the treasure trove of the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal's legacy; it will definitely lead to great progress!
"But do you really believe that Qingluo has clues about the treasure vault?" "In the Demon Realm, the sieges and ambushes against those with the bloodline of rebellion are nothing new. There are many cultivators who hunt them down because of such rumors. I have never heard of anyone actually getting clues."
"But the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal might really have left behind a lot of things. When he went to war back then, he had countless spoils of war, and he also had the most powerful magic weapon. Tsk tsk, even the Demon Lord wanted that..."
The golden bird flapped its wings.
Anyway, he believed Ling Yi's words 20% and doubted them 80%.
The claim that the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal left behind a vast treasure trove after his death is certainly not unfounded.
Don’t say anything else.
Whoever obtains this Primordial Soul Lamp will have the opportunity to recreate the power of the World-Destroying Soul Light!
That lamp has never been found to this day.
But even the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal couldn't possibly take this thing to his grave. It was the number one magic weapon that protected the ancient realm, and it was said to be connected to heaven and earth, so it couldn't be destroyed.
Even someone as powerful as Mr. Gu would probably crave this...
"Oh, what kind of magical artifact is this powerful?"
Hearing this, Gu Heng got excited.
No wonder Ling Yi seems to be obsessed with money. Even the Great Demon Lord wanted to dig up the grave of the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal. It's clear that guy has amassed a lot of good stuff!
"The Primordial Soul Lamp, Mr. Gu, you should know about it, the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal—"
"Wait a minute, are you saying that the Primordial Soul Lamp is the most powerful treasure in the hands of the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal?"
Gu Heng interrupted it directly.
In fact, he already knew that the Primordial Soul Lamp once belonged to the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal when he was reading ancient books to find clues.
But he hadn't expected the lamp to be so powerful. He'd barely used it at all. Aside from illuminating the surroundings at night, having a super-powerful effect on ghosts, and the ability for ghosts to live inside, Gu Heng really didn't know what else the lamp could do.
"Of course, there are probably only a handful of treasures in the world that can compare to it. That's just how you humans describe it."
The golden bird flapped its wings.
"Tell me in detail, how exactly is this lamp so powerful?"
Gu Heng remained calm and continued to ask questions.
"Ah! There's a lot to say about that. For example, the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal once used the power of the Soul Lamp to instantly kill seven cultivators, all of whom were Immortal Emperors or Demon Emperors!"
"It is said that the soul lamp completely extracts their souls and then refines them, even burning their physical bodies to ashes with its soul light!"
"And, the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal also used the Soul Lamp to kill both sides in thousands of battlefields, reaping the benefits and then absorbing their soul essence. For a long time, both the immortal and demon realms had to be on guard against his sudden appearance on the battlefield..." "...Of course, the most famous one!"
"Nothing could be more powerful than him using the divine might of this lamp to fight two opponents at once, and those opponents were the Great Demon Lord of the Underworld and the Great Demon Lord of Yin and Yang!"
"It is said that those two demon lords still have old wounds that have not healed to this day. The Crimson Flame Demon Immortal fought against them both and did not lose, showing his power... Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu?"
The golden bird stopped talking midway through its speech.
It noticed that Gu Heng was stunned and shocked, clearly finding it hard to believe.
Yes!
Even the Golden Bird thought this was outrageous.
But these are all true stories, verifiable records, so no matter how outrageous they may seem, they are still true.
"Is this soul lamp really that powerful?"
Gu Heng snapped out of his daze and asked.
“Mr. Gu, I’ve never seen this thing before. I’ve only heard about it from others, but it’s probably pretty accurate.”
Then the golden bird watched as Gu Heng pulled out an ancient bronze lamp from somewhere and placed it on the table.
"Mr. Gu, this...this isn't that...?!"
The golden bird's expression immediately changed.
Because it smelled a familiar scent when Gu Heng took out the ancient bronze lamp.
The smell that terrifies its very soul!
"This is the Primordial Soul Lamp. It's mine now, but I think it will remain mine in the future."
Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.
I have such a powerful thing in my hands.
He still didn't know.
It's clear that limited ability restricts vision, leading to such a laughable situation.
I need to get stronger quickly!
