"Leave something behind!" Lu Yun said. "The Spirit Tuple from the Human Character Scroll of the Three-Character Bone Book—you must leave it behind!"
Lin Xiaosu lowered his gaze and looked at Lu Yun.
Lu Yun smiled faintly. "The tens of millions of Heroic Spirits were summoned by the Spirit-Character Bone Segment. This bone is the root of their summoning. You need to leave it within Daxia's borders, so the Heroic Spirits will have roots."
Lin Xiaosu nodded softly.
"Have you decided where to place it?" Lu Yun asked.
"Does Daoist Master have any suggestions?"
Lu Yun said, "There is one place: Qianlong Headquarters."
Lin Xiaosu gave a faint smile. "I thought Daoist Master would suggest leaving it in the Three Heavens."
"I did originally have that thought, but after seeing the Heroic Spirits who went into battle this time, I changed my mind," Lu Yun said.
"Why?"
"Because I think they do not truly wish to dwell in the lofty halls and grand chambers of the Three Heavens. They would rather remain amid the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers beneath their feet. That is probably the difference between these Heroic Spirits and those of ancient times!"
The ancient Heroic Spirits had been outstanding members of their clans, sons of aristocratic families. Though they were Heroic Spirits, they had not shed the habits of noble-born children, accustomed as they were to lofty halls.
But these Heroic Spirits of this generation had originally been children of farming families. They preferred the vast mountains and rivers beneath their feet. If you made them enter lofty halls and grand chambers, they would dislike it instead.
Lin Xiaosu let out a long sigh. "Daoist Master truly understands them... Let us do as you say!"
Lu Yun gently lifted the lamp in his palm.
