Acai's Sky

Acai had enough fun, so he rode the purple gold gourd down from the sky and returned to the villa to continue opening boxes.

[Did the player open the Skill Box*3?]

"Yes"

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the [Fake] Glass Lamp (Rare)]]

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining [Sword Technique: Falling Flower Sword]]

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining [Sword Control]]

Ah Cai looked at the newly opened items happily.

[Fake] Glass Lamp (Rare) Within this mysterious and precious glass lamp, a strange "grey flame" burns, known as the "ghost fire." This eerie flame seems connected to the netherworld and possesses the astonishing ability to reveal the life experiences of deceased souls.

With this magical glass lamp, Acai can more accurately determine the location of ancient heroes in the Star Tomb when summoning them.

When she lights the lamp, the faint but unwavering light penetrates the darkness, illuminating the surrounding space. As the light flickers and sways, it seems as if an invisible force is surging, awakening those long-dormant heroes from the distant past.

Every time she used the glass lamp, Ah Cai felt a unique connection. Through the light of the ghostly will-o'-the-wisp, she could witness the glory and splendor, as well as the setbacks and hardships, of ancient heroes.

These images unfolded before her eyes like an epic, giving her a deeper understanding of each hero's story.

Not only that, the glass lamp also gave Ah Cai a unique insight. It helped her understand the heroes' innermost desires and goals, so that she could better guide them to realize their potential in battle.

Under the illumination of the glass lamp, Acai is about to become a messenger connecting the past and the present, closely interweaving the memory of history with the real battle.

However, this glass lamp is not perfect. Although it is called [Fake] Glass Lamp (Rare)], the power contained within it is still powerful and mysterious.

Only by mastering the correct methods and techniques can its role be fully exerted.

In addition, due to its rarity, the glass lamp will inevitably become the target of many forces.

A Cai thought about it and decided that in order to avoid this lamp causing countless fights and disputes, she needed to make more preparations to hide herself.

……

Ah Cai chanted the summoning word softly and used the summoning skill. In the blink of an eye, she was teleported into a mysterious dome space.

The sky above is covered with twinkling stars, like the brilliant Milky Way in the night sky, and these stars are the symbol of the souls of ancient heroes.

She looked around and found a square altar in the middle of the ground, with an offering table in the center for offering sacrifices.

Acai is very familiar with this kind of scene - after all, offering sacrifices to gods is a traditional custom of the Chinese people, who doesn't know it?

Acai began to rummage through her backpack, trying to find some suitable items as tribute.

After some searching, she finally found a few large, rough porcelain plates from among the junk. She thought to herself, "Next time I must remember to buy some prettier plates for my display!"

Then, she placed the fresh fruits that had just been delivered from the fruit shop on the porcelain plate one by one. There were yellow bananas, red apples and round oranges...

However, the problem arose—how could they do without incense and candles? So Ah Cai opened the mall interface in the system and searched carefully.

Finally, she saw a kind of incense called [Agarwood], and a box of it cost 10 gold coins!

A Cai hesitated for a moment, but soon bought 10 boxes.

Then, she took out the lighter from her backpack that she had taken out when setting off the fireworks, took out 9 incense sticks, lit them, and carefully placed them in the incense burner on the altar.

Looking at the rising smoke and flickering candlelight, Ah Cai's heart was filled with awe and she prayed sincerely.

After a while, more than a dozen star hero souls fell beside Acai and circled around Acai several times.

At this time, a blue light screen appeared, on which was the name of the heroic spirit she summoned.

[Heroic Souls: Food, Clothing, Housing, and Transportation] Spring and Autumn Yue: Xi Shi, Western Han: Wang Zhaojun, Five Dynasties: Fan Zheng...

[Heroic Spirits·Literature] Wen Tianxiang of the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty, Sima Qian of the Western Han Dynasty…

[Heroic Soul·Wu] Ming·Qin Liangyu, Tang·Li Xiuning, North and South·Xian Ying...

[Heroic Souls · Jianghu] Zhuan Zhu of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Zhonglian of Qi during the Warring States Period, Cao Mo of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period...

[Heroic Spirits · Temple] Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty, Wang Jian of the Qin Dynasty, Yang Su of the Sui Dynasty…

"hiss"

Ah Cai rubbed his face vigorously. "What is this? A historical figure? Can I summon him?"

"They are all great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers. If they are summoned, can I order them around?" Ah Cai complained dejectedly.

"I don't know which dungeon I will go to next. I will summon it when I have difficulty in clearing the dungeon." A Cai thought to himself.

Looking at the shining heroic souls around him, he waved his hands, bowed again and again, and quickly withdrew from the Star Tomb.

Wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Scary!

Too scary!

Is this skill good? Yes, it’s great!

I just don't have the courage to use it!

A Cai took a few deep breaths to calm herself down a little, then began to look at the treasures opened from other treasure chests.

The first thing that caught my eye was the secret manual titled [Sword Technique: Falling Flower Divine Sword]. It recorded that this sword technique was divided into seven styles:

The First Style: Buds about to bloom - The sword's momentum is as reserved and restrained as a bud just beginning to bloom, yet it contains endless vitality and power.

Second Style: Influx - The sword dances like flying flowers and catkins, the sword moves are continuous and unstoppable, making it impossible to defend against them;

The third move: Butterfly through flowers - the figure is elusive, like a butterfly passing through flowers, the sword technique is tricky and strange, making it difficult for the enemy to predict;

Fourth Style: The Withering and Prospering Years - This sword style is simple and majestic, revealing a calm temperament that has experienced many vicissitudes of life;

Fifth Style: Falling into Mud - The sword moves with such fierce force that it seems to turn everything into dust;

The sixth style: Like a flower, but not a flower - the sword path is blurry and illusory, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false;

The seventh move: Orphan Girl Burying Flowers - This move is full of tragic and heroic meaning, just like the sorrow and determination of a lonely girl burying withered flowers.

A Cai looked at the last treasure chest again and checked the skills that were found in it.

Sword Control: Clear your mind, free from desire and ambition. Control the sword with your heart, and it will follow your heart. Overcome strength with softness, control movement with stillness. When the mind calls upon the sword, the sword's arrival is the mind's arrival. Sword in hand, mind without the sword. Open and close left and right, never leaving the slightest trace. Sword energy roams freely, the mind wanders beyond the world. Mind like still water, sword like flowing light. As the sword stirs, my heart is at ease. Master the overall situation and achieve victory through unexpected moves.

Controlling a sword with Qi, transforming Qi into a sword. This type of technique is common in martial arts novels, where internal Qi is used to manipulate a sword into flight, killing enemies. Even those with advanced skills can gather Qi into a finger, transforming it into a sword, and using it to defeat enemies.

[Sword Controlling Technique] The entry-level sword control technique of Mount Shu, the foundation for all future sword control techniques. Consumes 10 points of energy when used.

[Sword Control·Flying Swords Dance]: Shock surrounding enemies into the air, then launch flying swords to attack, each attack causing a certain amount of basic damage plus a few points of physical damage. Consumes 30 points of energy when used.

[Sword Control: Sword Control to Subdue Demons]: Shushan School's sword control technique, controls powerful sword energy to attack enemies, consumes 50 points of energy when used.

[Sword Control·Ten Thousand Swords Technique]: Belongs to the Shushan Immortal Sword School's sword technique, which makes sword beams fall like rain, causing large-scale damage. It consumes 100 points of energy when used.

[Sword Control·Heavenly Sword]: The sword control technique of the Shushan School. The combination of man and sword is invincible. It consumes 100 points of energy when used.

Ah Cai was stunned by what she saw. Could this be mastered? Even though it had been transformed into a martial art that used energy by the dungeon system, it was still so shocking.

These sword-controlling techniques were beyond imagination! She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Can this really be learned? This is simply like cultivating immortality!"

Although these sword-controlling techniques had been transformed by the dungeon system into energy-reliant martial arts, they still exuded an astonishing charm. Ah Cai felt as if she were in a mysterious and fantastical world, and everything had become so incredible.

She carefully read the descriptions of each skill, her heart filled with longing and anticipation. [Sword Controlling Technique], the entry-level sword control technique of Mount Shu, was surprisingly the cornerstone of subsequent sword control techniques, and its use only consumed 10 points of energy. This filled Ah Cai with confidence in her future path of cultivation.

The next move, [Sword Control - Flying Swords Dance], left Ah Cai speechless. Not only could it knock nearby enemies into the air, but it could also launch flying swords to attack, each attack dealing a certain amount of base attack power and a few extra points of physical damage.

This powerful skill effect made Acai very excited, but she also realized that in order to master it, she would need to put in more effort and energy.

The "Sword Control: Sword Subduing Demons" technique showcased the profound depths of the Shushan School's swordplay. Manipulating the powerful sword energy to attack the enemy was undoubtedly a formidable skill. Ah Cai secretly resolved to master this unique skill someday.

Ah Cai's breathing quickened when she saw [Sword Control: Ten Thousand Swords Technique]. This sword technique, capable of inflicting massive damage, was practically unbeatable.

She imagined herself swinging her sword, which was raining down like raindrops, and defeating the enemy. A feeling of heroism welled up in her heart.

The final [Sword Control - Heavenly Sword] shocked Ah Cai even more. Man and sword became one, invincible. What a realm!

A Cai knew that to reach this level, she would need to go through countless trials and tribulations, but she was not afraid because she longed to possess such power.

These sword-controlling skills filled Ah Cai with both excitement and nervousness. She knew that truly mastering them would require a tremendous investment of time and effort. But Ah Cai firmly believed that with perseverance, she would one day become a remarkable sword-controller, roaming this magical world.
