Chapter 3112

Chapter 3112At that point, everyone's expression became tense. Now, they finally believed that the stone was
indeed a sealing stone and something was sealed beneath it. Many cultivators extended their spiritual
sense, trying to find out what was inside the hole..
Suddenly, plumes of black mist emerged from. the hole. Immediately afterward, the mist dispersed and
attacked the cultivators around the altar indiscriminately.
Zordey and the others could only start defending themselves against the swirling black mist. "What is
this?" Jared asked. The black mist didn't reach them as they had positioned themselves quite far away.
"Evil spirits. These are evil spirits." Renault furrowed his brow at once.
"Evil spirits?" Jared was taken aback. "That's right. These are evil spirits. They're formed from ancient
weapons with weapon souls. When these weapons were damaged in battle or their wielders died,
these weapon souls became stranded here for a long period. In addition to the Night Sea's corrosive
effects, these weapon souls turned malevolent over time and became evil spirits. Acquiring a weapon
inhabited by an evil spirit is not a blessing. The evil spirit may possess the user and even endanger
their life," Renault explained to Jared.
Jared instantly thought of the sword spirit within his Dragonslayer Sword, Zelda. If Zelda were
abandoned here for thousands of years, would she also become malicious and transform into an evil
spirit?
"Why do these evil spirits seem so frenzied? It's as if they've lost all consciousness," Jared couldn't
help but remark as he watched Zordey and the others battling the evil spirits."Indeed. Most of these evil spirits are broken and fragmented, void of any consciousness. The weapon
soul of an undamaged divine weapon would never degrade into evil spirits no matter how much time
passed. Instead, they would refine themselves further. Only those wrecked weapon souls would
devolve into mindless, bloodthirsty evil spirits. They know no fear of death as that concept is
nonexistent to them," Renault responded.
Jared found his words to make sense. These evil spirits are weapon souls, to begin with. They don't
possess a mortal body or life. Naturally, they aren't afraid of death. The loss of consciousness only
serves to augment their fearlessness further.
Though not particularly powerful, those evil spirits were incredibly tenacious and troublesome to deal
with, pestering their opponents relentlessly, which caused Zordey and the others to grow frustrated.
"These evil spirits are truly a handful, but could they be the only entities sealed by the sealing stone?
Logically, this shouldn't be the case. The evil spirits are numerous but not very formidable." Jared was
bewildered. Was that sealing stone really meant to seal these evil spirits only?
"Mr. Chance, regardless of what the sealing stone was supposed to seal, an opportunity has presented
itself for us," Renault said with a sly grin.
"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Jared asked in confusion. "Hurry up and look at the ground where
the fight is taking place." Renault pointed.
Jared shifted his gaze to the ground where Zordey and the other cultivators were battling the evil
spirits, only to notice an array of weapons littered across the floor, such as swords, spears, pikes,
hooks, and even some decorative pins and rings.
The sight astounded Jared. There wasn't a thing on the ground earlier, so where did all these things
come from all of a sudden?"Old Mr. Seizon, what's going on?" Jared asked in bafflement.
"Mr. Chance, these are the primordial treasures left behind by the slain evil spirits. Once an evil spirit is
killed, its corresponding treasure materializes. Now devoid of a weapon soul, these treasures can be
freely picked up. Although damaged in the ancient wars, these divine weapons still possess significant
value. They are ancient divine weapons, after all. Moreover, the stronger the evil spirit, the more
valuable its corresponding treasure." Renault's eyes gleamed with excitement.
Jared glanced at Renault. As expected of a businessman. He has a knack for spotting business
opportunities to make money in the most unexpected situations.
