Sealed Divine Throne II: Twin Sons of Dragon
Chapter 109 - 109 54 Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace_1

Chapter 109: Chapter 54 Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace_1 Chapter 109: Chapter 54 Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace_1 Feeling his surroundings turn into silver, Long Dangdang was calm inside. After two weeks of consideration, he had made up his mind. If Long Kongkong still remained that indifferent, always wanting to shrug responsibilities, there was nothing he could do about it.

However, he had seen Kongkong’s potential in the last assessment; his spontaneous effort and seriousness in recent weeks were all in Dangdang’s sight.

He knew that the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace had been improving Kongkong’s innate talent. Yet, his brother’s original talent was too poor, greatly lagging behind other students. Even though their cousin agreed to let them join her demon hunting team, should he let his brother become a burden? He would not like it, nor would Kongkong, who had his own pride even if he was indifferent to achievements.

When Long Dangdang recently arrived here and when he was in the Temple Academy back in Soaring Dragon City, he always thought of protecting Kongkong with his effort and talent. As he grew stronger, naturally he could keep Kongkong away from getting bullied.

However, as soon as he saw a glimmer of hope in Kongkong, his thoughts began to change. His protection wasn’t as beneficial as Kongkong growing strong by himself, and moreover, the two didn’t conflict with each other.

Therefore, he came to today’s decision after thorough contemplation. He didn’t know what the gold-colored badge represented, but since his cousin said that it was a great opportunity, it definitely was. With this opportunity, perhaps Kongkong could make a comeback. On the other hand, for himself, with his peculiar cloning power far surpassing the ordinary and innate ninety points of inner spiritual power, wasn’t he already content?

Thus, he felt peaceful and calm at this moment. Bathed in the silver radiance, he thought about choosing a spirit furnace to match himself, that would be the best. Even if there was none suitable, he already had two spirit furnaces, he was satisfied.

The next moment, the silver radiance gradually softened, and all the light around started to get gentle. Vaguely, he saw myriad points of light twinkling.

These points of light were all different colors. Some brighter, some darker. The most peculiar thing was that they all emitted different auras. Some were explosive, some gentle, some vigorous, and some harmonious. If all these were spirit furnaces…

Long Dangdang was shocked in awe, Spirit Furnace Academy really lived up to its name!

Stabilizing his emotions, he concentrated on perceiving the changes in these points of light, those gentle rays filled with peculiar brilliance. He gently released his spiritual power, earnestly feeling the auras contained in these points of light.

To his joy, when his spiritual power swept toward these points of light, most of them, regardless of their attributes, conveyed a sense of familiarity and intimate affinity to him. Many of these points of light were even drawn to him.

Was this their approval of me? Long Dangdang reassured himself. He was aware that the number of spirit furnaces a person can merge with is limited by their cultivation level. His Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace and Divine Lotus Spirit Furnace belonged to the milder types among spirit furnaces, therefore they didn’t strongly repel others, but nonetheless, his body’s endurance was within a certain range. During the current selection, it was highly likely his body could only bear one, at most two spirit furnaces.

He had already contemplated before the spirit furnace providential selection ritual, what kind of spirit furnace would be most suitable? He decided later that he wanted an attacking spirit furnace! The Divine Lotus Spirit Furnace was a defensive one with ordinary defense, and Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace was auxiliary and very functional, but couldn’t enhance his attack power.

Therefore, Long Dangdang had clearly thought about it before entering – he hoped to acquire a powerful attack-type spirit furnace to upgrade his attack power. Hai Jifeng taught him mainly explosive attacks. If he could pair it with an explosive spirit furnace, he could possibly have a powerful skill similar to the Hammer of Judgment, just like his cousin.

Since he could only choose one spirit furnace and multiple spirit furnaces were recognizing him, he definitely wanted a careful selection.

However, just as he was about to start discerning the characteristics of these spirit furnaces, all of a sudden, everything else appeared to freeze.

All the spirit furnace-representing points of light were set against a black background every time. Yet, at this moment, there was a hint of brightness in the background.

In an instant, all the points of light seemed to lose some of their brightness, and organically moved apart making room. Long Dangdang was then astounded by the sight of a cluster of light.

It was a cluster of white light. If the diverse colored lights he saw earlier were stars, then when this white light appeared, it was like a full moon before his eyes.

The moon was surrounded by a light blue halo, it even had its own aura. The best words to depict it were vast! Indeed, vast!

Almost instantly, the vast aura of light, like the moon, appeared before Long Dangdang, blocking his exploration of other lights.

“Why give up the opportunity of the gold-colored badge?” a gentle male voice echoed in Long Dangdang’s ear.

Long Dangdang was startled, bowing his head slightly, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

The male voice softly replied, “Do you know why the reward was given to you champions in advance? These two weeks before, they served as a test of each of you. Observing your state in life, abilities, attributes, characteristics, and talent, and more importantly, your nature. Hence, everything you’ve done these two weeks is under our observation. Did you know, swapping badges without permission is a sacrilege to the providential selection ritual?”

Long Dangdang abruptly lifted his head, “I was wrong, senior. But it’s all my mistake, Kongkong didn’t know a thing, it was my decision alone. If there’s to be a punishment, please just punish me. Please let him participate in the spirit furnace providential selection ritual.”

Ignoring Dangdang’s plea, the gentle voice asked, “What kind of spirit furnace do you wish for?”

Long Dangdang was taken aback, and said subconsciously: “I was intending to acquire an attack-type spirit furnace.”

“No, you’re mistaken.” The gentle male voice said: “You don’t need an attack-type spirit furnace. Your talent and abilities are unique. Your peculiar clone talent equips you with multiple attributes, but you can’t perfectly integrate and use them. Magic is just magic, martial arts is just martial arts, your fusion is far from enough. Do you know why?”

“Elder, please enlighten me.” Seeing that the other party was no longer talking about punishment, Long Dangdang gladly changed the topic.

“This is because your own spiritual power and control are not sufficient to support these. What you need is a spirit furnace that can help you integrate all these, and provide a robust backing for your abilities. As long as you’re able to utilize your own clones and their attributes effectively, why worry about lack of attack power?”

“You’re exactly right, elder. Can I select such a spirit furnace from this providential selection ritual?” Long Dangdang asked cautiously.

“You can’t.” The gentle male voice replied: “You unilaterally awarded your badge to someone else without permission, disrespecting the ritual, which must be punished. However, considering your exceptional talent, firm resolve, kind heart, and selflessness, even though you can’t choose a spirit furnace in this ritual, we decided to award you one after discussion.”

When he heard the first three words, Long Dangdang’s mood immediately darkened. After all, he was still a fourteen-year-old boy, he obviously hoped to acquire a spirit furnace.

But, what does this gentle voice mean with his subsequent words? Are all of them praising him?

To assign a spirit furnace to him? This seems like, maybe, possibly, a good choice too!

“Thank you, elder.” Overwhelmed with joy in his heart, Long Dangdang quickly bowed in gratitude: “Elder, is the spirit furnace granted to me the one you just mentioned?”

The gentle male voice said: “Correct, just as I described. We selected it for you after careful consideration. In our world of spirit furnaces, there is only one of this kind. It is as vast as the ocean and radiant as the bright moon. It is one of the most high-end spirit furnaces in the world today. It can store spiritual power for you, can illuminate the world for you by devouring the starry sky. It can also combine with almost all other spirit furnaces to launch a variety of spirit furnace fusion techniques. It’s regarded as the most impartial and peaceful existence in the world.”

Are such good things even possible? While Long Dangdang was surprised, he was also overjoyed.

“Thank you for your great kindness, elder. Please award it to me. What is the name of this spirit furnace?” In recent times, he had done a lot of cramming about spirit furnaces, and asked several teachers about them. But it seemed to him that his impression didn’t include the spirit furnace described by this man!

The gentle male voice said: “The unique, noble, and powerful spirit furnace that I mentioned is the Clear Moon Vast Ocean. You can call it Vast Ocean.”

The moment he heard the name, Long Dangdang felt a sense of unfathomable greatness.

“Are you willing to do so?” The gentle male voice became serious.

Without any hesitation, Long Dangdang nodded and said: “I am willing.” He trusted that the spirit furnace would not deceive him, especially this gentle male voice, who clearly possessed wisdom and should be one of the Nine Great Wisdom Spirit Furnaces. Surely his words could be trusted. If it’s described so well, then what is there to say?

“Very good!” The man’s voice softened again, smiling, he said: “Then let’s sign the contract now.”

“We?” Long Dangdang was taken aback.

The gentle male voice said: “Yes! I am Vast Ocean.”

In an instant, Long Dangdang was dumbstruck. So, he was self-recommended?

All of a sudden, a chill ran through him, and he subconsciously asked: “Are you a Wisdom Spirit Furnace?”

“Correct, I am indeed a Wisdom Spirit Furnace. Although everything will have to start over after signing the contract with you, I am still moved by your character and willing to part with you.”

At this moment, Long Dangdang was overcome with excitement. A Wisdom Spirit Furnace! This was one of the Nine Great Sages of Spirit Furnace Academy.

“Alright, let’s begin the signing of the contract immediately. Long Dangdang, are you willing to sign an equal contract with me, the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace. Regardless of any reason, we will always treat each other equally, support each other, and guard each other forever, until the end of life.”

“I am willing.”
