XIAO SHUXIANG'S

420 - Formation of the Spirit Body

Lan Guan Zhi did not know that currently his good friend was having fun and making a lot of damage in the Southern Continent.

He only thought that the current Xiao Shuxiang was resting inside the room and was likely already getting bored of continuing to lie down. Worst of all, his best friend had already walked out of the room and was about to look for him.

He had to go home immediately before Xiao Shuxiang saw his body that was already a lump of rotten meat.

If that were to happen, then his friend would definitely be furious and it was inconceivable how Xiao Shuxiang vented his anger.

Lan Guan Zhi's two hands moved slightly, impressed stiff with his half-shallow breath. He tried to remain calm even though Shouxing realized this anxiety.

"It would be better if you two stopped fighting and started doing what we should have done from the beginning." Shouxing reprimanded Chi Yue An and Dao Xiao Sheng as well as lotifying them boyishly. The two spirits said nothing but snorting.

Shouxing exhaled and then looked at Lan Guan Zhi, "Maybe you already know who they are. Dao Xiao Sheng was the spirit of the White Jade Flute, while Chi Yue An was the spirit of the Protective Cloak which was also one of the heavenly heirlooms. Both of them had their respective prime and until now, their existence still remained sought after by greedy cultivators."

Lan Guan Zhi listened to Shouxing's words so seriously, before setting his eyes on the red-clothed beautiful boy and woman.

"Among you.. I guess you are the most mature," Lan Guan Zhi's remark was aimed at Shouxing and this made Dao Xiao Sheng and Chi Yue An gasp in disbelief.

"Young man, were you serious about what you said just now? Shouxing is the most goddamn heavenly heirloom spirit ever. Many of its owners ended up going crazy and becoming bloodthirsty monsters, you can never imagine what horrors it caused,"

"A little boy like you is worth saying that?" Chi Yue An reprimanded Dao Xiao Sheng, ".. You have no manners at all, you say as if you've never been taught."

"You want me to learn? Look at yourself. You can only advise others and never reflect at all, and what do you mean just now, huh? 'Solent Population'? Is being spoiled like a comfort woman considered manners?"

"Dao Xiao Sheng..! Don't let me-"

"Can you shut up?"

This was the umpteenth time Shouxing reprimanded the two spirits before him. He would really attack them if the two were to clash their mouths again.

"Our existence here is not to see the two of you fighting and fighting each other. This young man must return to his world immediately and it seems you have forgotten about it,"

Dao Xiao Sheng and Chi Yue An looked scowled at the grunts from Shouxing. The two then looked at the young man in a white uniform and clad in the forehead without saying anything.

Lan Guan Zhi realized that he was being stared at, he put his hands together and saluted and said that he hoped to get help from these seniors.

"I need a reason why I should help you," Dao Xiao Sheng finally spoke, he looked solemn with his words just now.

Lan Guan Zhi flinched, yet he began to answer Dao Xiao Sheng with complete confidence. "I can't die now. There's a friend who needs me to stay by his side and kill him as he sinks into the darkness."

"Young man, Xiao Shuxiang doesn't need you at all. To him, you are both a burden and a person he wants to get rid of. You have misjudged your good friend," Dao Xiao Sheng's facial expression looked solemn, he made Lan Guan Zhi flinch at once in astonishment.

He again snorted, "Even without you mentioning your friend's name, I know he is Xiao Shuxiang.." Dao Xiao Sheng crossed his arms in front of his chest, he was now nothing like the one before. There was an aura full of Wibawa emanating on his body at this moment.

".. I have witnessed many different human traits and most often they are full of hatred, greed, and bloodlust. Xiao Shuxiang was a being with a heart full of these three things, even worse."

!!

Lan Guan Zhi actually wanted to refute, she could not believe her good friend was such a person. However Dao Xiao Sheng did not look joking.

"My feelings and predictions are never wrong, Young Master Lan. The man you consider a good friend is the worst creature ever."

Chi Yue An looked at the little boy beside her, she looked frowned. "You've only said that Xiao Shuxiang is a bad person, what has he done? I admit he had a dark past, but the handsome young man was very appreciative of his friends. He even bravely was honest with his own mother,"

Chi Yue An still clearly remembered how Xiao Shuxiang confessed to Xiao WeiWei during the war against Wyvern.

It was the biggest and heaviest confession ever, because it was likely that Xiao WeiWei could kill Xiao Shuxiang right then and there.

Shouxing did not say anything, let alone refute Chi Yue An's remark. Merely, he knew the intent of Dao Xiao Sheng's words and indeed-The Destroying Star was a figure of evil itself.

"Yue An, let me talk." Dao Xiao Sheng reprimanded the red-clothed woman beside him, he then returned his gaze to Lan Guan Zhi.

".. I'm not not trying to help you, son. But you must remember not to place too much trust in anyone, let alone in someone like Xiao Shuxiang."

Dao Xiao Sheng also said that there were some things that could not be revealed right now. He simply reminded Lan Guan Zhi to always be careful.

All along, Dao Xiao Sheng had always been fighting cultivators from the Black Stream, so what was hidden in the minds of people like Xiao Shuxiang could he read clearly.

The Destroying Star had a secret too terrifying to explain to a figure like Lan Guan Zhi. Moreover, this young man with a forehead ribbon trusted Xiao Shuxiang very much.

If Dao Xiao Sheng was determined to explain it, he would be in doubt. So it was much better to let time show everything to Lan Guan Zhi.

Shouxing also thought so, it was important for this forehead-clad young man not to know too much about Xiao Shuxiang. After all, they did not gather in this place to discuss about the Destroying Star as well as the Alchemist Chef.

"We should do it soon. Young Master Lan, you're ready."

"Alright," Lan Guan Zhi replied to Shouxing while saluting, she began to arrange her position into sitting cross-legged.

Shouxing then set his gaze on Dao Xiao Sheng, "You're the first."

"Hmph, of course. I deserve to be first." Dao Xiao Sheng walked up and stood right before Lan Guan Zhi. The speech and manner of walking were still full of an aura of arrogance.

"Young Master Lan, you need to know. Me and these two spirits beside me only carry half of our true strength. Another half was still stored on the weapon that Xiao Shuxiang had brought. But of course, you can't master our power so easily."

"I understand,"

Dao Xiao Sheng nodded and then smiled faintly. He then closed his eyes and started saying words that Lan Guan Zhi did not understand.

"I am formed from bones at the bottom of the earth that existed thousands of years ago.

Destiny brought me to the mighty one.

Forging with the dragon soul and the roaring screams of those who are the ingredients of my creation will be the initial foundation of your new body."

!!

Lan Guan Zhi's gaze suddenly darkened. He had no idea what was happening, yet Shouxing asked him not to worry. He was quite calm as he still heard the spirit sound from the Night Star Sword.

Dao Xiao Sheng's body had completely become smoke and now it seemed to envelop Lan Guan Zhi.

The young man with the forehead ribbon began to feel the warmth that was getting hotter, he closed his eyes again.

Chi Yue An stepped forward. He stood at the point where Dao Xiao Sheng had been before. He stroked his long hair slowly while staring towards Lan Guan Zhi.

"You must hold it in, Young Master Lan. This heat you are feeling is because the spirit from Xiao Sheng is starting to reshape your body.." Chi Yue An let out the most seductive smile of hers.

He explained that the new body of Lan Guan Zhi was going to get stronger and this time it was hard to hurt. He himself would become a protector as well as a spirit that would make Lan Guan Zhi's body immortal.

".. The heat of vengeance will melt a frozen heart. I will be the flow of blood in your body and will remain with you, Young Master Lan~"

Chi Yue An was actually a little regretful for not having much time talking to this handsome young man, but since he was going to be a part of Lan Guan Zhi's body-he was not complaining about anything anymore.

His body was slowly enveloped in a thin reddish smoke which then grew thicker. The smoke moved and then enveloped Lan Guan Zhi's body which simultaneously fused with the smoke from Dao Xiao Sheng's body.

Now, the heat Lan Guan Zhi felt faded and turned into a warm feeling like a mother's embrace.

For a moment, the forehead-clad youth tried to recall a small memory that was actually so faint in his mind.

Shouxing then advanced, he shook his head slowly and warned Lan Guan Zhi not to sink into the past. Memories like that are much more free-living when not remembered.

".. The reason why Xiang'Er looked so happy that life didn't even feel a burden on her shoulders was because she never felt guilty for all the lives she lost because of her. He is a creature that is hard to care for anyone. You're very lucky if he's willing to risk his life for saving you."

Shouxing also said that Lan Guan Zhi should always keep an eye on Xiao Shuxiang. The Destroying Star needed someone who should always remind her of the relationship she currently has.

".. It's hard for cloudy water to get back to clear. The same situation, happened to Xiang'Er. I'd also say that there was a time when your relationship with her would be put to the test, and if it happened - I hope you'll never leave her."

"I promise,"

"You don't need to promise, Young Master Lan. Just remember this message. Xiao Shuxiang was able to directly enter into the darkness of darkness when something he thought was a lamp stopped to light it. If that were to happen, the same tragedy as when the Eastern Continent was about to perish would happen again."

Shouxing was serious about his words just now. He began to concentrate and spoke unfamiliar words in Lan Guan Zhi's ears. His speech style now seemed similar to that of Dao Xiao Sheng earlier.

Thin black smoke gathered under Shouxing's feet and quickly enveloped his body. He was seen fusing with that smoke and started moving towards Lan Guan Zhi.

!!

The process of forming a new body for Lan Guan Zhi took a long time. Infinite pain and heat should always be withheld at all times even if there is some time where the pain is slightly reduced.

In fact, the Sky Heirloom was a weapon used to protect humans from something that could bring about destruction.

However, sometimes a lucky person gets one of those heirlooms to use it for their own sake. Not infrequently, they kill each other in order to get the heirloom.

Shouxing, Dao Xiao Sheng, and Chi Yue An were also actually holy spirits. It is the hearts and desires of men who once bonded with them that make all three can become cruel and bloodthirsty spirits.

!!

Lan Guan Zhi could feel his blood rustling and like it was heating up. He tried to refrain from screaming in pain. Really, this technique of body building was extremely torturous.

There was no sound of anything he could hear, nothing he could see, only a feeling of disarray and vomiting that seemed to overshadow him.

Lan Guan Zhi was actually difficult to keep up with the three celestial heirloom spirits even though they were only half of his original strength. If the pain Lan Guan Zhi felt continued, then this was clearly very dangerous.

!!

The hearing of the young man with the forehead began to return. The first thing he heard was the sound of his heart beating very fast. He even had a hard time believing that the voice was coming from inside his chest.

The next second, Lan Guan Zhi spewed out a reddish-black blood. He slowly opened his eyes and faintly saw an all-white dressed figure standing right in front of him.
