Chapter 21: Unfamiliar Water, Swallow It First

  Three days later, the foundation of Ling liquid was perfectly imitated by Xiao Xing Meng. When Xiao Xing Meng was adjusting a few bottles for Ye Kan, the communication from the Hun clan arrived, and Xiao Xing Meng was slightly surprised. In the past, it was always his side that contacted the Hun clan, and he had instructed them to only notify him in case of urgent matters. Could it be...

  Opening the jade slip, it was a letter from the current Soul Temple Master himself! Upon closer inspection, Xiao Xing Meng was overjoyed. It turned out that after a thousand years, the Soul Temple had finally found something at the southernmost tip of the mainland - a strange water that appeared after breaking through space, only the size of a fist, but it could float in mid-air and had the effect of devouring all things! Even when the Soul Temple Master's soul was extinguished and he attacked with his Saint-level strength, the aura was also swallowed up without a trace. The Soul Extinguishing Life occasionally discovered this object, and now they were completely helpless against it, but such an extraordinary object would surely attract heroes to come and seize it. Adding that the Great Elder had been searching for strange objects for a long time, he immediately sealed off the space and sent a message to the Great Elder to come over.

  Compared to the original, the Soul Temple still has an unchanged villainous style, fully showcasing its mercenary nature. However, it's slightly better than before with some added rules and bottom lines, and won't easily engage in genocidal plundering. This is because the Soul Star Meng has added a "cost-benefit" principle, only taking action when there's sufficient profit to be gained. As a result, compared to the original, the Soul Temple is less ostentatious and more introverted.

  Of course, it's just "not easily letting go". As the saying goes, where there is milk, there is a mother! If you show enough "sincerity", the Soul Temple will not mind expanding its reputation. Otherwise, Medicine Old would not be in the ring at this time, and Han Feng wanted to deceive his master and kill Medicine Old for the sake of burning the bones and cold fire, so the Soul Temple saw that there was a profit to be made and helped him with one arm.

  The current work of the Soul Temple, apart from capturing souls and expanding its power, has added another task given by Meng Duo, the Soul Star: collecting rare objects from all over the world and offering them to the Soul Temple.

  Unfortunately, things like heterodox fires are rare in a thousand years. The Soul Temple has been open for nearly a thousand years and hasn't received any valuable existence. The collected objects don't even have the qualifications to be refined by the "Taiyi Scripture".

  Now, a discovery that even the Hall Master couldn't help but make - an extraordinary object! The Soul-Extinguishing Life-Preserving Void-Swallowing Flame Child Flame, who is also a Saint of Combat. Yet, it's now helpless in front of a puddle of water! Could it be that this world has, apart from the Extraordinary Fire and Dan Lei, an Extraordinary Water as well?

  It's not strange if you think about it, the world is full of strange things, why should there only be one type of lightning fire? Although it's said that there has never been a "Strange Water List" in this world, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

  It may be a long time before this is over, Xiao Xing Meng left enough to let Ye Kan ascend to the Dou Zhe's Dan medicine, and then hastily left Hei Tan City, arriving at a desolate mountain with no one in sight.

  Xiao Xing Meng was also eager to see this strange object, but he is currently only a Dou Wang level, if he just relies on his wings to fly in the sky, it's unknown how many years and months it would take to get there. Since he temporarily doesn't have spatial powers, he might as well use some "props".

  Take out a piece of stone that can float in the sky from the Nas ring. This kind of stone is rare even for the soul tribe, and it appears to be a variant of the space power absorbed by the long-term proximity to wormholes and other spatial powers. However, in fact, it is a useless thing.

  When you become a Dou Zun, you can use the power of space. But when you're not a Dou Zun, even if you have this stone, you won't be able to use the power of space. This is something that only those who are above Dou Zun but have their powers sealed can use. For Xiao Xing Meng, it's a very rare thing. In order to be prepared for any situation, he specially took out quite a few. This thing was originally used to save his life, but now it just so happens to come in handy when they're in a hurry.

  After consuming several Space Stones, Xiao Xing Meng accurately arrived at the location where Hun Mie Shen was. Hun Mie Shen and a few black-robed men were there, they had already set up a seal. The center of the seal opened up a large mouth, indeed a strange and powerful energy was emanating from it.

  At this time, Xiao Xing Meng wore a black robe and showed the token of the Great Soul Tribe's elder to reveal his identity. Soul Extinguishing Life immediately came forward and respectfully said: "Great Elder, inside here is indeed the place with that cluster of black water we were talking about. A stream of water actually exists within space, containing powerful energy and devouring power. It seems this is indeed the strange object you've been searching for."

  Xiao Xing Meng sensed that the energy inside was incredibly strong, possibly even surpassing the pure lotus flame he had obtained back then. The immense energy and something that didn't exist in the original work made Xiao Xing Meng cautious in his response. He praised Soul Extinguishing Life: "Soul Extinguishing Life? You've done a good job. For hundreds of years, you've almost gotten nothing, to the point where I was about to consider removing your position. But now it seems that you've done well."

  His soul was overjoyed when he heard the old man's words, and with these words, the position of the Lord of the Soul Temple would be difficult to shake. After all, the position of the Lord is equivalent to a local emperor, who can control the power of life and death in a region with the Soul Clan as his backing.

  As soon as he entered the void, Xiao Xing Meng knew that this water was equivalent to a hetero-fire in the water, because the wine in his gourd immediately wanted to burst out and enter that black water. Hetero-fire is the emperor of fire, so it has the ability to command flames. Now this group of water actually had the same effect, plus the energy comparable to the Jinglian Youhuo, enough to explain that this group of black water was not only an "heterogeneous water" that had never been recorded, and if there was a ranking list for "heterogeneous water", it would be among the top.

  Unlike the wildly burning hetero-fire, black water is just like ordinary water that has been casually placed there, looking relatively calm. However, beneath its calm surface, it constantly emits a devouring force, and the air outside the void space also continuously gets sucked in.

  This property of absorbing everything reminded Xiao Xing Meng of the Void Inflammation, and if this strange water could be absorbed and merged into the "Taiyi Scripture", it might even evolve a bit. But how to make use of this strange object... should he drink it?

  Even with a stomach that had been tempered in the Heavenly Dynasty for a long time, facing this black water that was even more terrifying than ditch oil. If it were just the realm of the Dou Wang, Xiao Xing Meng would not have dared to take such a risk and drink down such a frightening liquid. However, he had within his body the powerful Pure Lotus Demon Fire, which was roughly equal in strength to his own energy, and with the fusion degree of the "Tai Yi Scripture", although it would require some effort, it should not be dangerous, right?

  The heterochromatic water that can even absorb the aura of a Douluo, Xiao XingMeng was quite looking forward to seeing what benefits this thing, which didn't exist in the original work, would bring him.

  Xiao Xing Meng made the people in the Soul Temple seal this space entrance, remove the boundary, and then everyone left.

  Only leaving behind Xiao Xing Meng, that ball of black water, after a while in this empty space and the big eyes staring at each other, Xiao Xing Meng suddenly rushed up and drank all the black water in one breath!

  Just after swallowing, the black water did not attack the human body internally with a terrifying high temperature energy like a strange fire, but absorbed his Dou Qi from Xiao Xing Meng's body! With its Dou Sheng energy absorbing it, if an ordinary Dou Wang, in an instant, the entire flesh would disappear and turn into that ball of black water.

  If there was no other way, how could Xiao Xing Meng swallow it like this? He mobilized all four of his heterodox fires to wrap up the heterodox water, using all his strength to counter its terrifying suction power! Then he quickly ran the "Taiyi Scripture" and absorbed that ball of black water.

  "Now the only hope is that the 'Taiyi Scripture' can refine all things as I thought, otherwise my current strength will also find it difficult to absorb the black dan lei like before. If I don't refine even a bit within an hour, I'll have to spit out this black water, or else I won't be able to resist its absorption."

  The absorption of the "Taiyi Scripture" had a calming effect on the strange water, which was now much more stable and its suction power had decreased significantly. This situation made Xiao Xing Meng extremely happy, and he immediately began to slowly refine it. It seemed that the "Taiyi Scripture" could even absorb and refine these unusual objects that had never appeared before. He wondered if this strange water would not resist refinement like the strange fire did, or if his own "Taiyi Scripture" made these strange objects yearn to be refined.

  To know, when "Burning Bone" refines the alien fire, it will inevitably suffer a fierce counterattack from the alien fire. After refining the alien fire, "Burning Bone" also takes away the energy of the alien fire, allowing people to suddenly upgrade their level. Xiao Yan has opened several times like this. However, after "Taiyi Scripture" refines the alien fire, there is no actual increase in strength, although both can make the kung fu evolve. This may be the reason why the alien object resists being refined by the kung fu?

  This problem may be really difficult to solve, maybe it can only wait until later when thoroughly understanding the "Taiyi Scripture" and making it a transcendent skill, then it will become clear. With my current strength, the speed of refining this black water is extremely slow, I really don't know how long it will take to refine it. Fortunately, Xiao Xing Meng, who has been in this world for a very long time, is also used to these days of cultivation without years. With the power of this black water, after refinement, it must be able to evolve the "Taiyi Scripture"!
