Soul Summoning Guide

Hiss!

After Mu Zi passed through the light barrier, she instantly found herself in a boundless ocean of demonic Qi. As though sensing the aura of a "living person," the surrounding demonic Qi boiled violently and surged toward her in a frenzy.

However, a Formless Power circled around Mu Zi. Before the demonic Qi could reach her, it rapidly withered away, as if walking toward death, and scattered into space.

Mu Zi swept her gaze around, then chose a direction and shot off, weaving through the Demon Prison. Wherever she passed, the demonic Qi dissolved and withered one after another. In that boundless ocean of demonic Qi, she forcibly carved out a stretch of Pure Land.

As Mu Zi passed by, the demonic Qi within one Demon Suppression Tower seemed to be stirred. Strand after strand seeped out, gathering on the surface of the Demon Suppression Tower and faintly forming a twisted demonic face.

"Human."

The demonic face writhed, and waves of demonic sound came from its mouth, filled with undisguised malice and evil. Its resentment surged to the skies, wanting to swallow the person before it whole.

Whoosh!

Mu Zi did not indulge it. She directly summoned a dragon of Death Qi and sent it charging into the Demon Suppression Tower, and waves of wailing howls immediately rang out.

A moment later, that muddleheaded Yimo was completely erased. As for the thousand-zhang-tall Demon Suppression Tower, under the corrosion of Death Qi, it became riddled with holes and tottered on the verge of collapse.

Demon Suppression Tower:

It seemed to have achieved some sort of deterrent effect. The nearby Demon Suppression Towers immediately quieted down considerably, and a faint sense of fear could be felt.

Mu Zi withdrew her gaze and continued sweeping forward. For now, this was not the time to deal with these things. The urgent matter was to see the Lord of Darkness.

With one step, she crossed to the ends of the earth. Traveling like this, it was not long before Mu Zi arrived in the deepest reaches of the Demon Prison.

What surprised her was that the Lord of Darkness had already awakened. She sat upright upon a throne, her pure-black eyes looking over, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

"Who are you? Why do you possess the Ice Ancestral Symbol?"

The Lord of Darkness's gaze fell on the ancient ice-blue runes circling Mu Zi's side, and her eyes became somewhat dangerous.

When she saw that breathtakingly beautiful young woman wielding the Ice Ancestral Symbol, she had nearly thought that Junior Sister had successfully reincarnated and come to meet her.

However, the Lord of Darkness very quickly rejected that thought. As her Senior Sister from the same sect, how could she fail to recognize the Lord of Ice's aura?

The woman before her was definitely not Junior Sister!

Mu Zi was startled for a moment, then said, "I am the current wielder of the Ice Ancestral Symbol."

The Heavenly Net Umbrella was her own daughter. If it controlled the Ice Ancestral Symbol, that could be counted as her controlling it too.

The Lord of Darkness narrowed her Phoenix Eyes slightly. Her jade hand gently clenched, and her gaze instantly turned sharp.

"The Ice Ancestral Symbol belongs to Junior Sister. How did it fall into your hands?"

Hearing the questioning tone in the Lord of Darkness's voice, Mu Zi's eyes also narrowed. She looked straight at the petite woman clad in dark Battle Armor and said faintly:

"A divine object of heaven and earth belongs to the one fated for it. Why can I not have it?"

The Lord of Darkness fell silent, somewhat unable to refute her. Ancestral Symbols were born from heaven and earth, not possessions belonging to an individual.

It was just that the Lord of Darkness knew Junior Sister had dearly loved the Ice Ancestral Symbol. If she returned from reincarnation and saw her beloved thing fall into someone else's hands, she would probably feel terrible.

Moreover, the Ice Ancestral Symbol and the Lord of Ice could be said to be extraordinarily compatible. Even if it broke free of Junior Sister's control, the Ice Ancestral Symbol would resist being refined by others.

Although the Lord of Darkness had been guarding the Dragon Clan's Demon Prison, she had not been completely ignorant of the outside world over the years. As far as she knew, ever since back then, the Ice Ancestral Symbol had never had another wielder!

"Fated? Heh."

The Lord of Darkness let out a cold laugh, feeling extremely displeased.

Since the Ice Ancestral Symbol had been born, only two people had ever successfully controlled it. Aside from Junior Sister, there had only been Master himself.

Could the woman before her be Master's reincarnation or something?

Buzz, buzz!

As though sensing the Lord of Darkness's dissatisfaction, the Ice Ancestral Symbol actually reacted. The ice-blue rune moved closer to Mu Zi and bounced up and down at her side.

The ice-flower-like rune trembled in an oddly human manner. Anyone could see its closeness to Mu Zi.

The Lord of Darkness:!

Seeing the Ice Ancestral Symbol and that woman acting so "lovey-dovey," the Lord of Darkness immediately gritted her silver teeth. Her jade hand clenched, and she stared tightly at that ice-blue rune.

Fine, you Ice Ancestral Symbol. You actually "betrayed" Junior Sister and threw yourself into someone else's arms!

Although the Lord of Darkness knew that this thought of hers was somewhat unreasonable, seeing Junior Sister's beloved thing "snatched away" by someone else still made her feel rather unhappy.

Mu Zi looked at the rune "frolicking" in front of her, then at the vivid expression on the Lord of Darkness's little face, and could not help pursing her lips.

She had not only taken Ying Huanhuan's Ancestral Symbol, but had also "stolen" her man.

If the Lord of Darkness knew, with how much she valued Junior Sister, who knew what she would do...

Amid this strange atmosphere, the two fell into silence.

After a while, the Lord of Darkness calmed down and returned to her cool, glamorous appearance.

"For what reason have you disturbed my slumber?"

The Lord of Darkness leaned back, her petite body resting against the enormous throne. Her languid gaze turned toward Mu Zi, as though she did not intend to pursue the matter of the Ice Ancestral Symbol.

Faced with the Lord of Darkness's question, Mu Zi did not beat around the bush and directly stated her purpose.

"I am rather interested in a Secret Method and hope to exchange for it from you."

"What?"

"The Soul Summoning Guide."

The Lord of Darkness looked at Mu Zi in some surprise. She had not expected the other party to want this Secret Method.

The Soul Summoning Guide had no offensive or defensive effect, but rather a special function.

On the Tianxuan Continent, some Reincarnators had only just awakened and had yet to recover the memories of their previous lives. By using the Soul Summoning Guide and relying on certain mediums, they could be awakened from across a vast distance.

In the original work, the Lord of Darkness and the others had used this method to successfully summon the Lord of Life and Death.

But aside from that, the Secret Method known as the Soul Summoning Guide had no other use. Though its grade was high, it was rather useless. Could it be that this woman wanted to obtain the Soul Summoning Guide in order to awaken some Reincarnator?

Tap, tap.

The Lord of Darkness's fingers tapped against the throne, making a clear sound. A moment later, she looked at Mu Zi, and the corners of her lips curved up slightly.

"There is no need for an exchange. I can give you the Soul Summoning Guide, but I have one condition."

"What?"

"Let me see what qualifies you to control the Ice Ancestral Symbol."

As her words fell, the Lord of Darkness suppressed her aura to the level of the Samsara Stage and looked at Mu Zi indifferently.

Mu Zi's gaze was calm, but inwardly she sighed. It seemed the Lord of Darkness still cared a little after all...

Looking at that petite figure before her, Mu Zi could not help grumbling inwardly. Was she at odds with the Darkness Ancestral Symbol lineage or something?
