Chapter 2797: The Golden Nether Ghost Lord
"A stele-forged body, a rootless soul. This—this could be the will of the Jie Tian Stone itself." Even the well-informed Devil Lord Tongtian broke into a cold sweat after hearing the severed arm's account.
"Alchemist King Lu's schemes are unparalleled. If he hadn't made proper preparations beforehand, he really might have fallen into the Jie Tian Stone's trap this time."
The Devil Lord Tongtian was not flattering Lu Xiaotian. Previously, he had possessed Ji Yuanzhu and commanded countless Devil Race experts. On top of that, he had spent thousands of years laying plans in the Chaotic Demon Domain, only for Lu Xiaotian to break them one by one. This was not something that could be accomplished through strength alone. At the beginning, Lu Xiaotian's strength had been far inferior to that of Devil Lord Tongtian.
"The will of the Jie Tian Stone itself? What do you mean?" The severed arm and Lotus Avatar were both astonished, unable to unravel the mystery.
"Originally, I had only heard some mention of it from senior figures of the Devil Dao, and I didn't quite believe it at the time. Now, though, it seems extremely likely. The Jie Tian Stone is a treasure of heaven and earth, containing within it the grand intent of heaven and earth. But that does not mean it possessed an independent consciousness. Later, however, experts of various races used divine abilities and borrowed the Jie Tian Stone to cultivate stele seals, leaving their own imprints upon it. Those who left their imprints had wildly different temperaments. As time passed, they inevitably affected the Jie Tian Stone, causing it to develop a spiritual consciousness. Gou Gan most likely came into being this way."
Devil Lord Tongtian explained.
"That does make sense." Lotus Avatar
