Sealed Divine Throne II: Twin Sons of Dragon
Chapter 113 - 113 56 The 10th Wisdom Spirit Furnace_2

Chapter 113: Chapter 56: The 10th Wisdom Spirit Furnace_2 Chapter 113: Chapter 56: The 10th Wisdom Spirit Furnace_2 At this moment, Long Kongkong was sitting cross-legged not too far away. In front of his chest, a spirit furnace, its body glowing a faint gold, had simple patterns engraved on it, was emitting a soft halo.

If one looked carefully, they could see the simple patterns finally gathered into the form of a female figure on the surface of the golden spirit furnace, her hands held together as if in prayer. Circle after circle of strange golden halos were rippling from it, continuously enveloping around Long Kongkong.

Upon witnessing this, Long Dangdang couldn’t help but rejoice. Regardless of how she looked at it, the spirit furnace that Long Kongkong recently acquired had a feeling that set it apart from the ordinary. It appears that her painstaking efforts had not been in vain.

However, at this moment, streaks of light suddenly lit up in front, there were as many as seven. When they appeared, each carried immense aura, it was indeed seven of the Wisdom Spirit Furnaces they had seen before. On top of each spirit furnace, figures also appeared correspondingly. However, among these seven spirit furnaces, the one who had been in charge all this while was missing.

A voice that sounded somewhat old but full of desperation rang out, “Vast Ocean, how could you fuse with a human, why would you do such a thing?”

Another younger voice echoed, “You took advantage of us testing the students, of Small Tree making a choice, sneaking in through such a loophole. How can you bear such, you will harm him!”

Were they talking about Vast Ocean? A knot formed in Long Dangdang’s heart, harm him? Harm me? Could it be that there was a problem with the spirit furnace she had just bound and fused with?

Nine Great Wisdom Spirit Furnaces, seven are here, Kongkong fused with one, and so did she. Could it be that there was a problem with the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace that she fused with?

And at this time, there was not a single sound from Vast Ocean, as if he didn’t exist at all. However, Long Dangdang was absolutely sure that her previous experience was not an illusion, because she could clearly feel the strange spirit furnace radiating a cold aura within her chest.

“Hold on, esteemed seniors. What exactly is going on? Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace, isn’t it one of the Wise Ones?” Long Dangdang asked in confusion.

The seven Wise Ones fell silent at this moment.

A few seconds later, the previously old voice slowly said, “He is not.”

Long Dangdang couldn’t help saying, “But he said he was a Wisdom Spirit Furnace!”

The old voice sighed deeply and said, “Indeed, he is one of the Wisdom Spirit Furnaces. After fusing with you, he probably fell into slumber because your body could not handle it yet, and we don’t know how long this sleep will last. But he is not one of us nine, he is the Tenth Wisdom Spirit Furnace.”

Long Dangdang was startled, “There’s a Tenth Wisdom Spirit Furnace? Will there be any problems if I fused with him?”

The seven Wise Ones fell into brief silence once again, as if they were reluctant to answer his question.

Long Dangdang took a deep breath, realizing he had found himself in trouble. A problem so difficult that even the top-tiered scholars of the Spirit Furnace Academy were having trouble with.

“Please tell me. I think I have a right to know. If this is due to your negligence, I would like to be compensated.” He was very calm at this moment, or perhaps it was the chill from the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace that kept him so. From the scholars’ conversation, he faintly perceived that there was something wrong with the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace. This issue should have been dealt with by these wise scholars, but their mistake had been made while assessing the students.

The old voice sighed again, “I didn’t expect this to happen. Or rather, we were careless. This is terrible. Small Tree just informed us before signing the agreement that her partner was Long Kongkong, and you gave your badge to your younger brother. You are Long Dangdang, right?”

Long Dangdang nodded, “Yes, I am Long Dangdang.”

The aged voice said, “The gold-colored badges we issued this time are for you champions. They give you an extra chance to participate in our re-assessment. If you pass, then you will have the opportunity to fuse with our Wisdom Spirit Furnace. Based on the principle of preferring deficiency over excess, the test is difficult and whether you can pass depends on your abilities. The badge was given to you two weeks in advance to monitor your behavior during this time. This in itself is part of the assessment. But unexpectedly, you gave your badge to your younger brother.”

“Undoubtedly, you are among the top students in this Spirit Furnace Providential Selection Ritual. And for this reason, Vast Ocean chose you.”

“Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace itself is a Wisdom Spirit Furnace. Once, it was even one of the most powerful among the Wisdom Spirit Furnaces. However, it has encountered some problems and became incomplete due to special reasons. To be precise, it is not a single Wisdom Spirit Furnace, but a pair. They complement each other, and when together, their combined power is tremendous.”

“In a particular major natural disaster, they got separated. The partner of Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace disappeared. According to our judgement, it should have vanished in that disaster. You must have heard about that disaster. It was the moment over ten thousand years ago when the void cracked and demons descended. At that time, Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace and its partner were one of the essential protectors of our world, together with the other ten Wisdom Spirit Furnaces, they were known as the twelve Watchers. The continent, at the time, was not called Sacred Demons, but the Spirit Furnace Continent. In that era, the number of Spirit Furnaces was hundreds, even thousands of times more prevalent than now, almost anyone with a little talent could have their Spirit Furnace partner. They grew together, aiding each other.”

“During that disaster, the arrival of the Demon Tribe led to only three of the twelve Watchers surviving. Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace was among them, although its other half disappeared in that disaster. Even after over ten thousand years, with the demons destroyed by humans, it never reappeared.”

Long Dangdang furrowed his brow, “Since Senior Vast Ocean was once a protector of the continent, how could it harm me?”

The old voice spoke with a hint of bitterness: “Vast Ocean and its former partner had an extremely profound connection. The disappearance of its partner left Vast Ocean incomplete and it developed an obsession. Its obsession is to search for its lost partner at all costs. It chooses to merge with humans and hopes to search together with its human partner for the missing half.”

“Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace has a sharp sensitivity towards human talents. As such, it only picks the crème de la crème among human geniuses. This selection has ruined the lives of countless human prodigies. In fact, it was confined here as the tenth Wisdom Spirit Furnace to prevent it from bonding with humans.”

“Why so?” Long Dangdang’s heart sank deeper and deeper with each sentence.

“Because although it is a Wisdom Spirit Furnace and used to be one of the top Spirit Furnaces, it’s now incomplete. With the absence of its other half, it can only evolve once. After fusing with it and signing the contract, it can’t evolve any longer, leading to a stagnation in the strength of the host. The strength could only reach the Peak 6th Rank, but never the 7th Rank.”

In an instant, Long Dangdang felt a chill all over his body, his eyes lost focus, and he stood there, opening his mouth, but unable to utter a word. The gate to the world of the powerful had barely opened before him, but the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace seemed to close it again and sealed it tightly.
