Chapter 13025 How to Refine the Black Sky Sword

Ling Xiao understood that such a trump card could only show its true value at the most critical moment and when facing the most powerful enemy.

After a little adjustment, Ling Xiao closed his eyes and rested, letting his tense nerves relax for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze gently fell on Ah Dai, the demon soul beast beside him.

This huge and strange-looking monster is standing there quietly at this moment, and its eyes seem to contain endless stories and vicissitudes.

Closing his eyes, Ling Xiao let his mind sink into tranquility. A moment's rest seemed to wash away all his fatigue and tension.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze naturally fell on the Demon Soul Beast Ah Dai beside him. That huge body looked particularly steady and solemn in the dim light.

“Senior, now that the crisis here has been resolved, why don’t we leave this mysterious area together and explore the wider world outside?” Ling Xiao’s tone was full of sincerity and expectation. He knew very well that Ah Dai’s strength was unfathomable. If they could move forward together, it would be a great help.

However, Ah Dai slowly shook his head, and a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes.

"My boy, you don't know that this mysterious island is actually a prison left by the ancient temple. Although the power of the temple has gradually dissipated over the years and the world has almost forgotten its existence, the laws and constraints here still firmly imprison prisoners like us."

Its voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to come from the bottom of the heart, carrying a heavy weight.

Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel surprised and puzzled when he heard this. He looked around. Although this mysterious area was full of dangers, it was not a big obstacle for him to enter and exit.

Why is Ah-Dai, a being whose strength far exceeds his, trapped here, unable to escape?
"Senior, you are much stronger than me, why can't you leave? Is there some secret?" He couldn't help but ask, with curiosity and exploration in his eyes.

Ah Dai sighed softly, as if he was recalling the past.

"Boy, you don't understand. Strength is not omnipotent. On this strange island, every prisoner is branded with a unique mark. That is the mark of the law of the temple. It restricts our actions and prevents us from violating the rules here.

Unless someone has enough power to completely change the ownership of the Strange Island, or find a way to break the laws here, we will all be imprisoned here forever."

Its tone is full of helplessness and sadness, as if it is telling a forgotten history and fate.

"I understand!" Ling Xiao's voice revealed a kind of teasing and ridicule. He nodded deeply, and then said with disappointment:

"Senior, I originally planned that if you could help me overcome the difficulties I am facing, I would thank you with a generous gift. In the future, I would even let you become the supreme guardian beast of my Demon Sect, enjoying all the respect and honor. But things are unpredictable, and now it seems that this can only be an unfulfilled wish..."

As he spoke, Ling Xiao's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of regret and sorrow.

Upon hearing this, Ah Dai's simple and honest face showed some anxiety and sincerity, and he quickly explained:

"Ling Xiao, you don't have to worry about it. Although I am restricted by this mysterious area and cannot go out with you, as long as you are still in this area, I will do my best to protect you. Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, the attacking enemy cannot be too strong, otherwise, even I will find it difficult to resist and can only protect myself."

A-Dai's words reveal a simple sense of responsibility and commitment, which makes people respect him.

The four words guardian beast stirred up ripples in Ah Dai's heart. He had imagined such a scene countless times - wearing gorgeous armor, soaring above the nine heavens, and becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

However, the reality is cruel. It is just an ordinary demon soul beast, living in obscurity in this mysterious area, and has never had the chance to step into the gate of the Demon Sect.

But at this moment, hearing such a promise from Ling Xiao's mouth, even though he knew it might never come true, Ah Dai's heart was still filled with an indescribable excitement and yearning.

"The guardian beast..." Ah Dai repeated these words in a low voice, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He knew that it was not only a symbol of status, but also a recognition of his strength and loyalty.

Although it can no longer change the past, this dream and expectation is like a bright light that illuminates its way forward, allowing it to find a glimmer of meaning to persevere during these long years of imprisonment.

Ling Xiao sighed softly, with a complex emotion between his brows. He stared at Ah Dai's sincere and helpless eyes, and was convinced in his heart that what the Demon Soul Beast said was true, and it was indeed impossible to leave this mysterious place.

This realization made him feel a little lonely and stressed, because he knew that he could only rely on his own strength to walk the rest of the way. He didn't want the tranquility and peace here to be destroyed because of his arrival, and he didn't want to see innocent people involved in danger because of him.

"It seems that I can only rely on myself for everything." Ling Xiao thought to himself, his eyes flashing with determination and firmness. He knew very well that once the battle started, the variables were unpredictable. Although he wanted to protect them, his strength was limited and it was difficult to ensure the safety of everyone.

This sense of responsibility and powerlessness intertwined together, leaving him with mixed feelings.

Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, a majestic and deep voice suddenly sounded in his mind. It was the voice of the Demon Soul King, with unquestionable power and wisdom.

"Boy, don't forget the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword in your hand. This artifact has never really demonstrated its power since you obtained it. And you, after this period of experience and growth, have made a qualitative leap in your realm. If you can completely refine this sword and make it one of your life-threatening weapons, it will surely help you achieve a miraculous victory at the critical moment."

Ling Xiao's heart moved when he heard this, and his eyes instantly fell on the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword hanging on his waist. This sword has been with him since the day he got it, witnessing his countless battles and growth.

However, he had never truly explored the secrets of the sword in depth, let alone thought about refining it into his own weapon.

"How should I refine it?" Ling Xiao asked the Demon Soul King curiously, with a hint of anticipation and nervousness in his voice.

"Dropping blood to recognize the master, this is the simplest and most direct method." The voice of the Demon Soul King echoed in Ling Xiao's mind, concise and powerful.

"Is it that simple?" Ling Xiao couldn't help but be a little surprised. He thought that refining a divine weapon would be an extremely complicated and difficult task, but he didn't expect the answer given by the Demon Soul King to be so direct. Isn't this a bit too hasty?
