Douluo: Purple Brilliance Shines, Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers Are Forever

Chapter 53: Apprenticeship, Holy Death God, Undead Scourge

Xu Tiance, who had already fallen into a deep sleep, his consciousness continued to sink, as if falling into a bottomless cave.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, and when he slowly opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the surface of a mirror lake. The surroundings were as quiet as a chicken, and a few broken mirrors were floating in the void.

Xu Tiance forced himself to stand up and looked around blankly.

"Is this... my spiritual sea?"

A calm and magnetic male voice suddenly sounded, "You are finally awake."

Following the sound, I saw a gray mist appear out of thin air in the air, and a human figure could be vaguely seen.

"who are you?"

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm. I am the Holy Necromancer, the Scourge of the Undead, 'Ilex.'"

Xu Tiance was instantly shocked beyond words. He blinked his big eyes and looked at the gray fog in front of him in disbelief, subconsciously becoming a little wary of it.

"You broke into my spiritual sea without any reason, and you claim you have no ill intentions."

"I'm sorry, I'm just a wisp of spiritual consciousness now, and I can't walk normally in the world. I want to see you, so I can only come here uninvited in this way."

"You want to see me because of that piece of living gold? I'm sorry, but I will never give it to anyone."

"You do know about the Gold of Life. Unfortunately, your guess wasn't accurate. I came to you not only because of the Gold of Life, but also because of you."

It is understandable that it is because of the Gold of Life. After all, with it, if nothing unexpected happens, Alex will no longer have to worry about the risk of his spiritual consciousness being extinguished.

But if you say it's because of something else, Xu Tiance doesn't believe it.

"Because of me? You can't be thinking it's because I'm rich."

"Of course not. Your martial soul is the sun, and you've practiced a special technique, which has caused your sun martial soul to undergo a qualitative change, gaining the ultimate fire attribute and the sun's golden pupil."

"You know quite a lot. Since you know everything, so what? What does this have to do with you?"

Ilex chuckled. "It's possible. If this strand of my consciousness wants to survive, I think I need your help even more."

"Although your martial soul attribute is the ultimate fire, the sun martial soul also gives you an unparalleled affinity for the element of light."

"The aura of light you carry makes me feel particularly at home. If I can be nurtured by both the sun's radiance and the gold of living beings, not only will this strand of my consciousness survive, it will also become even more powerful."

"In exchange, I can purify this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife for you, restoring it to its original form of Living Gold. Of course, if you feel this isn't enough, feel free to ask for any additional conditions."

Although Alex masters the magic of the dead, he was once the son of light in a certain world, and light is his comfort zone.

If he could continue to live if he stayed with Huo Yuhao, then if he stayed with Xu Tiance, he could not only live, but also live well.

To be honest, Xu Tiance was moved.

The Alex before him was a being who stood shoulder to shoulder with gods in a mortal form. His abilities were unquestionable. Even if he was only a fragment of divine consciousness now, it was possible for him to be resurrected in the future.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Tiance looked up at Alex.

"If I understand correctly, what you mean by nurturing me is that you will always stay by my side."

"Yes, I need to stay in your spiritual world temporarily."

"I'm sorry, we just met, so I can't trust you completely yet. I can't accept a powerful yet unfamiliar being like you staying within my spiritual sea." Alex sighed helplessly. "I understand what you said, but I was being presumptuous."

"Elux, you said you can purify the Soul Devouring Knife. Can you teach me more about purifying the undead?"

"To be honest, there are many evil soul masters in Douluo Continent. They form the Holy Spirit Cult and seek shelter from the higher-ups in the empire. Sooner or later, I will have to compete with them."

"If we can master the power to restrain them, it will undoubtedly be twice as effective with half the effort!"

"If you teach me how to restrain evil spirit masters, I will not only help you nurture your consciousness, but I will also do my best to help you revive. Is this okay with you?"

Ilex thought for a moment, "If I understand correctly, you want to become my disciple and learn my necromancy?"

"Yes."

"There's one thing I must remind you of. Although my necromancy magic is fundamentally different from the abilities of an evil spirit master, their use is very similar. If outsiders learn of this, they'll most likely mistake you for an evil spirit master."

"That's fine! As long as I know that I'm learning necromancy to deal with evil spirit masters, not to collude with them, that's all. People in this world are so ignorant. I only hope to live with a clear conscience."

"How foolish the world is! All I want is to be able to live with a clear conscience."

Electrolux inexplicably has a feeling that a thousand cups of wine are not enough when drinking with a close friend.

He forgot, forgot that he was once a favored child of heaven, but was harmed by treacherous villains and ostracized and abandoned by the ignorant people of the world. This is why he later became the Holy God of the Dead and the Scourge of the Undead.

Although the past has been forgotten and time has soothed the dull pain in my heart, I am not completely indifferent to it.

People in the world are so ignorant, so there is no need for their understanding. As long as you know that your original intention has not changed and as long as you have a clear conscience, that's enough.

"Xu Tiance, from now on, you are the disciple of the Holy God of the Dead, the Undead Scourge Ilex!"

"is teacher."

Xu Tiance respectfully paid his respects to Electrolux as his apprentice.

Xu Tiance had some understanding of Electrolux. It was hard to say about other things, but he was definitely protective of his son.

At least for now, Huo Yuhao has not yet accepted Ilex as his master. Because of the undead magic, Huo Yuhao still has a vague sense of rejection and suspicion towards Ilex.

Now that we've become your disciples, you can't help Huo Yuhao deal with your disciples, Xu Tiance thought.

"So, teacher, you are already living in my spiritual world now?"

Alex shook his head. "No. My consciousness is too weak, and it still resides in the body of a young man named Huo Yuhao."

"You had a brief encounter at the auction, so you should still have some impression of him."

"Now, what you see is just a shadow I cast based on the fire of your soul."

"Earlier, you rashly purified the Soul Devouring Knife. Even the Sun-Disc Golden Eye couldn't completely block the evil backlash, and the power of the curse briefly eroded your spiritual world."

"At this moment, your spiritual world is like an undefended city, which is why I can come here so easily."

Xu Tiance scratched his head embarrassedly. "The curse on the Soul Devouring Knife is even stronger than I imagined. I was a little overestimating my own abilities."
