C1003 Unlocking Three Spirit Locks
"Since I can't understand it, I might as well give it a try. Anyway, I have time for the next two days." Tang Ao thought in his heart, but suddenly, his expression changed. He had been really busy these past two days, he didn't have the time to break the spirit lock in the Black Crow Market, and research the inscription array inside. Because Shangguan Waner still had the map of the Lingichi in his hands, that map had an extraordinary significance to the current Tang Ao.1
If he wanted to obtain the map in Shangguan Waner's hands, he would need to complete the condition of Sword Battlestage winning a hundred consecutive rounds. Tomorrow, he would still have to compete in Sword Battlestage, but now that he was locked up in Tower of Life and Death, how was he to compete in Sword Battlestage tomorrow? On one side was the map of the Lingichi, and on the other was the powerful artifact forging inscription that even Yun Xiaoyao had never come in contact with before. For a moment, Tang Ao was in a dilemma.
In his previous life, Tang Ao had heard that some of the stronger warriors could be born with avatars, and that avatars could do what his original body could. At that time, Tang Ao still scoffed at it. Now, Tang Ao realized that he really needed this kind of ability. How about he borrow these three spirit locks and wait for him to finish researching them before returning them to the Mistress of Nether Moon? Tang Ao had this very bold idea.
This won't do, if she's not satisfied with someone from Mistress of Nether Moon's Seventh level of the Life and Death Realm, her own little life will be in danger. However, the Lingichi was the only hope she had to recover her strength. If she couldn't, even if she found a way to return to the Xuanhuang Continent, he wouldn't be a match for Qin Yueshuang and the others.
Now that I have been in the ice and snow plain for close to a year, my strength has not improved even a step during this year. In this year, Qin Yueshuang, Huang He and the rest have all grown stronger. I need to quickly recover my strength, otherwise, how can I take revenge? The situation that Tang Ao was in today, was all thanks to Huang He and the others joining hands at the end of the Emperor of the Underworld's secret plane.
Tang Ao was clear about his grievances and grudges, he would have definitely avenged his kindness. If not for Dong Xuanye risking his life to save him back then, he would have been unable to escape this calamity. Thinking about it, Tang Ao made a plan in his mind. He wanted to obtain the map of the Lingichi, so he could only try his best to obtain the ancient inscription array. First, he saw that these three spirit locks were unlocked, then he went to see the Mistress of Nether Moon and asked her to borrow these three spirit locks to study them for a period of time.
Tang Ao, who was inside the spirit lock, had a rough understanding of the inscription array. Even though he did not know the use of the inscription array, unlocking the inscription array was not a problem. Tang Ao took out a piece of black iron the size of a fist and started to refine the key. Since Tang Ao had already researched the inscription array inside the spirit lock for a long time, breaking it wasn't as difficult as breaking it either.
After thinking about it for a moment, Tang Ao refined three keys from the crafting furnace. After a while, the key took shape again, and Tang Ao started to draw inscription array on the inside of the key. After everything was done, Tang Ao used three keys to fly out. Tang Ao then took out the key and the corresponding spirit lock, and with a "patter" sound, the first spirit lock was opened as expected. Then, the second and third were opened by Tang Ao one after another.
Previously, Xue Ding and Xue Ding had used almost an entire day's worth of time to unlock the two spirit locks, but Tang Ao had only used a moment of effort. Furthermore, after Tang Ao came to understand the inscription array inside the spirit lock, breaking this kind of spirit lock did not pose too much of a problem for Tang Ao. If possible, Tang Ao wanted to borrow all the spirit locks on Ming Yue's hands to have a look, but he understood that this was just wishful thinking.
There was a huge difference in strength and status between Ming Yue and him. Ming Yue was probably not willing to talk to him on equal footing now, and Tang Ao didn't have any methods to move Ming Yue right now either. Under these circumstances, it was naturally impossible for Tang Ao to borrow the spirit lock from Ming Yue.
