Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 2472 - 2475: Finally Obtaining the Shadow Black Gourd

"What’s there to discuss? Even if you modify the rules, my disciple will still gain the right to comprehend the Shadow Black Gourd. What’s left to say?"

Heiye Wuxing looked at those clamoring and coldly snorted, "Ling Xiao, go retrieve the Shadow Black Gourd. Let’s see who dares to stop you.

The ancestral rules state that anyone emerging from this contest will have the right to comprehend it for twenty days.

If you can make the Shadow Black Gourd recognize you as its master, you will directly acquire this treasure and become the Dark Clan’s clan leader heir.

Anyone daring to defy these rules will face ancestral punishment.

I don’t think anyone present would dare, would they?"

As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent.

Because within the Sacrificial Altar resides the souls of the Dark Clan’s ancestors. If someone doesn’t act according to the ancestral rules, the likelihood of punishment is high.

In the Dark Clan, the prestige of these ancestors is akin to the seven sovereigns in the Mysterious World.

No one dares to defy them.

They might not fear Heiye Wuxing, but they cannot ignore ancestral punishment.

"Haha, Wuxing, maybe there’s a misunderstanding."

The Dark Clan Elder is truly crafty and cunning.

He chuckled, "You should understand their feelings. After all, Fei Tian was beaten like that, and none of the other children participating in the contest survived.

Some anger is understandable.

But rest assured, I will uphold justice. The Dark Clan is not a clan that cannot see its disciples become strong.

Since Ling Xiao won the contest, the Shadow Black Gourd naturally belongs to him."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Elder, for upholding justice."

He understood well that the elder was unwilling to lend him the Shadow Black Gourd for comprehension.

But due to the ancestral rules, there was no choice.

If Ling Xiao is not allowed to comprehend the Dark Shadow Martial Arts today, it wouldn’t just dishearten the other disciples, but would also invite ancestral punishment.

This is something the elder couldn’t bear.

Though he knew this, since the other party spoke "justice," he naturally had to thank him.

It didn’t matter if the words were insincere.

"Elder, you must think carefully. Once this boy comprehends the Dark Shadow Martial Arts, he might become a major threat to the Dark Clan."

An Yexing exclaimed.

"Silence, I expected you to always be prudent, but today your behavior truly disappoints me greatly.

If you wish to continue being the clan leader, you’d better keep your mouth shut. This is not a matter to be discussed; rules are rules.

Otherwise, who will believe the Dark Clan can rise in prestige in the future?"

The Dark Clan Elder appeared truly angry.

An Yexing froze for a moment, then hung his head.

He had no choice; his cultivation level couldn’t match Heiye Wuxing’s or the elder’s. Although he was the clan leader, his power of speech was limited.

He could only glare fiercely at Ling Xiao.

"What good is letting you comprehend the Shadow Black Gourd if you die, and end up with nothing?"

He had already resolved himself.

This Ling Xiao dared to cripple his son; no matter what, he must kill Ling Xiao.

If he couldn’t prevent Ling Xiao from receiving the reward, perhaps he could kill Ling Xiao and seize the Shadow Black Gourd himself.

With this thought, he shut his mouth completely, saying nothing further.

An Yexing fell silent, and naturally, so did the others.

"Alright, I hereby announce that the final victor of the Shadow Black Gourd contest is Ling Xiao.

According to the ancestral rules, he shall hold the Shadow Black Gourd for twenty days to comprehend the Dark Shadow Martial Arts.

Regardless of success or failure, the Shadow Black Gourd will autonomously return to the Sacrificial Altar after twenty days!"

The Dark Clan Elder glanced at Ling Xiao and said, "The owner of the Shadow Black Gourd is our Dark Clan’s first ancestor.

Back in the day, he established the Dark Clan’s position on the Eight Immortals Mountain using this magical treasure.

Thereafter, no one could become the owner of the Shadow Black Gourd.

Because the first ancestor’s soul has become the instrument spirit of the Shadow Black Gourd, truly controlling this treasure.

Kneel before the Shadow Black Gourd and make sacrifices; the ancestor will naturally bestow upon you a will, entering your body.

On the one hand, this will allows the Shadow Black Gourd to be yours for twenty days.

On the other hand, it can prevent others from contesting. Go ahead."

"It seems more like monitoring me?"

Ling Xiao thought to himself.

He even suspected that this supposed will, once inside his body, would never depart.

It would permanently lurk, only to emerge and disrupt if he ever truly tried to seize the Shadow Black Gourd.

Such suspicions are not without reason.

Because Ling Xiao’s Tai Chi Eye vaguely saw foreign wills within An Ming, Heiye Wuzun, and the elder’s bodies.

Even within Heiye Wuxing and Heiye Wuguang.

It could be said that anyone who once gained the right to use the Shadow Black Gourd had it.

What is the first ancestor of the Dark Clan trying to do?

Intent on turning everyone into his puppets?

Truly terrifying.

But while it’s scary for others, for Ling Xiao, a mere will is nothing.

Even the Divine Sense of the King of Sovereigns was refined by him.

The formidable Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit is beyond ordinary understanding.

Compared to the King of People, what is the King of Sovereigns?

He sneered coldly. Although he didn’t know what the first ancestor’s conspiracy might be.

Today, he must acquire the Shadow Black Gourd.

Paired with the Dark Sword Immortal Map, perhaps he could comprehend something formidable.

He stepped forward and knelt before the altar.

Then, from the Shadow Black Gourd emerged a ray of white light and entered his body.

Witnessing this, everyone knew that Ling Xiao’s right to comprehend the Shadow Black Gourd was irrevocable.

Some found it hard to accept.

They felt envious, resentful, even angry.

But what of it?

Ling Xiao often makes people loathe him, want to kill him, but can’t.

"Ling Xiao, now you can take the Shadow Black Gourd. But I must remind you of something.

The Shadow Black Gourd is my ancestor’s legacy. Lacking our Dark Clan’s bloodline, comprehending the Dark Shadow Martial Arts might be very difficult.

You only have twenty days, and if you can’t succeed, you must give it up, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao suddenly understood why the elder spoke against opposition and awarded him the Shadow Black Gourd.

Of course, fearing the ancestral rules and tarnishing their reputation are two reasons.

But another might be because the elder knows, even if Ling Xiao gets the Shadow Black Gourd, he would merely hold it for twenty days, incapable of comprehending anything.
