Yu Mang was stunned.
Not only could those mysterious powerhouses condense mental spirit shadows, they could actually leave the Hell Array as well.
"Just a wisp of consciousness going out. The time is very limited." That was the old battle beast monster's answer.
With a smile, the old battle beast monster continued, "Because time is limited, some old monsters went out but failed to find anyone suitable, so they returned. Others are temporarily waiting for the right opportunity and for a successor to appear..."
"Make good use of this chance."
"You must be under a hundred years old, and you must also catch our eye."
His fists clenched tightly as Yu Mang asked again...
"What exactly is your purpose? Didn't you say last time that even if someone obtained the Nine Heavens Emperor's swordsmanship, it would still be impossible for you to break open the Hell Array? Why are you seeking successors again now?"
Yet before he could finish, Yu Mang's spirit-shadow avatar was shoved out by a tremendous force...
The old battle beast monster's voice drifted out faintly...
"Times have changed, but the same words still stand... for now, you are not qualified to know too much."
"Remember this: even if you cultivate Nine Heavens' swordsmanship to its pinnacle, you will only end up like us."
Frowning, Yu Mang's spirit-shadow avatar ultimately did not dare ask any further.
After returning to his true body, Yu Mang muttered, "It seems that cultivating a chosen genius is extremely important. Only after being chosen and remade will I be able to learn the secrets of these old monsters."
Time flew by in the blink of an eye...
Another eight months later, Su Yuexi finally emerged alone from the Dark Demon Passage.
At last, she had returned to the Burial Emperor Tomb.
