Shelly and the Mystic Maidenâs soul bodies were injured and were breathing slightly sluggishly.
âHow is it going out there?â The Mystic Maiden asked when she saw Milos.
Milos
Alex
âItâs safe for the time being.â Milos checked her condition, only to find that she was severely injured.
Her physical body had been ruined due to the previous injuries, but it was in bad shape this time. The
seedâs strength was no joke. Although merely a mental body, it was an existence they couldnât resist
even after joining forces.
Milos
Alex
âIt is safe? Didnât the seed catch you?â
âHe wants to do that, of course, but Iâm afraid he canât. Iâve entered the Troop Raising Pond. Each of
them possesses a relatively high cultivation level, beyond the limits of the Troop Raising Pond. Lorelei
wouldnât have allowed me to retrieve the weapon, otherwise.â
Shelly was startled for a moment. âThere were so many of them, yet you managed to do this. Youâve
exceeded my expectations.â
Milos was dejected. âI may have to disappoint you then because I didnât meet your expectations. I didnât
hide inside on my own. Someone kicked me in here.â
Milos
Alex
âWhat? Who kicked you into the Troop Raising Pond?â
âThe female statue.â
âThatâs really strange. Whatâs going on with it?â
Ancestor Bodhi asked. âAt first, she pulled the strings by sealing the Ancestral Bodhi Treeâs root, so I
had no way to transfer you out. I thought she came to take revenge after you stripped her, but I didnât
expect she would save you in the end.â
Milos said, âShe listened to me and even gave me a warning since I wanted to become the real seed.
She would turn me into a pig in my next life if I were to fail.â
Milos
Alex
âBecome a pig in your next life?â Shelly snorted. âYou donât have to wait for that! Youâre already a pig in
this one! A boar!â
Milos asked, âWhy do your comments taste like a sour grape? Are you jealous?â
Milos
Alex
âGet lost, bast*rd!â
After that, they discussed the female statueâs origin.
âSince her statue is inside Yukon Sanctuaryâs shrine, then she must be somehow related to Yukon!â
Ancestor Bodhi said. âBy my reckoning, she really wanted to kill you at the hand of the seed when she
interfered with me! However, she learned how unreliable he was after witnessing his behavior. And, it
just so happened that you said those words⦠So she wanted to give you a chance.â
âItâs very likely. Moreover, she is probably one of the planners in ancient times,â replied The Mystic
Maiden.
The discussion was, in fact, quite pointless, and they put the matter of the female statue aside.
Milos healed Shelly and the Mystic Maidenâs injuries using divine power, the Ultimate Book of Medicine,
and some suitable pills⦠Normally, wounds of a soul-body proved troublesome, but it was a piece of
cake for Milos. It was recuperation after that.

After Milosâs consciousness returned, he immediately explored the surrounding environment. He found
that it was extremely inconsistent with the rumors. The Troop Raising Pond contained weapons, but
most of them were already decayed.
Milos
Alex
No matter how good they were, they were unable to withstand the erosion over the years.
Milos took a few steps and saw a simple, ancient, long sword. He was about to grab it casually but a
lightning bolt struck down and almost hit him.
Milos
Alex
âIs this a spell formation?!â
Milos checked it carefully, only to find that each weapon was surrounded by an extremely delicate spell
formation. All he had done was touch the spell formation, and the lightning assault was triggered.
Milos
Alex
âWhat kind of spell formation is this?â
Milos studied it for a few minutes. Eventually, he confirmed that the spell formation that comprised
those symbols differed from normal formation patterns. Instead, they were some sort of cuneiform!
Milos
Alex
The symbols of ten thousand spell formation flags stored in his ring matched those symbolsâ¦
Descriptions about such a spell formation were also present on that scroll. He then meticulously
studied the symbols of the spell formation located in the interior of the Troop Raising Pond, trying it out
as he looked at it.
Time passed silently.
Milos did not know how long he had been studying, but eventually, on a certain day, an epiphany
enlightened him. He suddenly understood many previously incomprehensible things.
Milos
Alex
Milos couldnât help cursing the woman in white, Lorelei, because he had understood the spell
formationâs principle. If he had helped her retrieve the weapon, he would have lost all his cultivation the
moment he acquired it. This spell formation specifically destroyed energy cores.
Milos
Alex
Five minutes later, the small spell formation around the weapon was broken.
