Chapter 482: Chapter 240: The Power Inside the Body? _1

Long Dangdang said: "I now have three spirit furnaces, namely the Divine Lotus Spirit Furnace bestowed by the Magic Temple, the Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace bestowed by our Knight Temple, and the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace I obtained from the Spirit Furnace Academy."

Xuan Hanyan flashed a faint smile, saying: "Having three spirit furnaces at such a young age is already quite impressive. The Knights Temple can open the spirit furnace depository for you to choose one more. It’s not that we don’t want you to have more, but the growth of spirit furnaces will share your cultivation gains. You’re already under pressure from the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace. Hence, don’t have too many spirit furnaces for the time being. I suggest you choose one that can assist in cultivation, especially in the cohesion of spiritual power, to accelerate the replenishment of the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace."

A spirit furnace indeed! Compared to equipment, spirit furnaces are obviously much more valuable. Equipment needs to match one’s cultivation level, and when the cultivation level reaches a new stage, equipment often needs to be replaced. But a spirit furnace can be carried for life and evolve with the owner. Excellent indeed!

It could be said that the reason why Long Dangdang and his party were able to surpass ordinary professionists in terms of strength lies heavily in the spirit furnaces they possess themselves.

"Lord Sacred Legate, does Kongkong receive such a reward as well?" Long Dangdang asked.

Xuan Hanyan replied: "There are spirit furnaces for him too. Kongkong’s power is currently insufficient for Mithril Cathedra, he needs to continue to strive. However, one condition is that from now on, unless approved by the Temple or the Demon Hunters Headquarters to carry out tasks, you cannot easily leave the Holy City. Your safety is now relevant to the future of the Temple, and we hope you can understand."

"Ah? Lord Sacred Legate, we’ve been away from home for almost two years now, and we were planning to go back to visit our parents soon." Long Dangdang quickly answered back.

Xuan Hanyan replied: "You don’t need to worry about that. I will have someone bring your parents to the Holy City to reunite with you. In the future, they can even stay in the Holy City, perhaps even within our Temple Headquarters. Your current teachers are Hai Jifeng and Zi Tianwu, right? I will recall Hai Jifeng soon and let him cultivate you for a period of time. Your power is improving rapidly and you are basically a graduate of Spirit Furnace Academy, but you need better guidance to reach higher levels."

This can be considered as the Knights Temple’s thorough care. Long Dangdang couldn’t say anything but simply nodded in agreement.

When Long Dangdang returned to the room where he had previously rested, Kongkong was still slumbering. However, his breath had become more stable.

Long Dangdang’s face showed a faint smile. This test had undoubtedly caused the Knights Temple to pay great attention to them. The Wisdom Spirit Furnace and his golden dragon mount made it almost explicitly clear from Xuan Hanyan’s words that they were destined to become Sacred Legates. As for succession, Long Dangdang himself may already be the first successor to the Sacred Legate.

As for the selection of spirit furnace, he had no particular ideas. With the senior Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace, whatever furnace he chose in the future would be based on its will. Many of the problems they didn’t understand weren’t a big deal to the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace, just like the previous Heart Glory Kit. Two selections had directly upgraded the Glorious Class equipment to Legendary Class.

As for the challenge to become a Mithril Cathedra knight, Long Dangdang planned to take some time to prepare.

The Knights Temple had many 7th Rank knights, but there were only seventy-two Mithril Cathedra knights in total, each one of them distinguished warriors. Although he had his three-headed golden dragon, it seemed like Xuan Hanyan still wanted him to hide the mount for the time being, even during the future tests at the Magic Temple, so as not to reveal his three-headed golden dragon. This was the only request from the Knights Temple, the premise of which was to give him and Kongkong each a spirit furnace.

Although Long Dangdang himself was able to gain benefits from the Magic Temple, Kongkong was solely a knight and could only rely on the Knights Temple. Thus, Long Dangdang had no choice but to agree.

In the absence of Little Eight, it’s not an easy task to defeat a Mithril Cathedra knight with his current 6th Rank strength. Therefore, he needed to further increase his power.

It wasn’t until the sky outside turned completely dark that Kongkong, who was lying on the bed, finally showed some signs of stirring.

"Die for me! Die for me... Ow, my head..."

Listening to Kongkong’s babbling, Long Dangdang immediately threw a strangle at him, which instantly woke him from his daze.

When Kongkong opened his eyes, there was still some bloodshot at the bottom of his eyes. His first reaction when he saw Long Dangdang was to blink.

"Big bro, are you okay?" Kongkong weakly asked.

Long Dangdang replied annoyedly: "What could possibly happen to me? Why did you sleep for so long? I fainted from the pain when my arm was torn off back then. What happened next?"

Kongkong blinked and looked at Long Dangdang and then at himself. Fragments of his memory began to surface in his mind, and what happened previously gradually became clear.

Just then, a burst of golden light gushed out from his chest, enveloping both him and Long Dangdang, and cutting off everything from the outside world.

The graceful Small Tree quietly appeared out of nowhere.

"Small Tree, what’s going on?" Kongkong asked eagerly.

Small Tree stared deeply at him and sighed: "You lost control. Because of the damage Dangdang sustained, you suddenly lost control, causing a special power in your bodies to explode. This power is uncontrollable for you. If this wasn’t happening in a small space like the Devil Realm, but on the outside world, it could well be irreversible."

"What would be irreversible?" Long Dangdang asked.

Small Tree replied: "You would die."

Long Dangdang was taken aback, while Kongkong blinked and said, "Is that serious? I think I absorbed my brother’s power, then I could destroy everything. Did I kill that demon god?"

At his words, Long Dangdang’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly turned to look at him, "What did you just say?"

Kongkong scratched his head and said: "I feel like I kind of remember, I think I killed that demon god. Oh, right, Little Eight seemed to become different too at that time."

Long Dangdang turned back to Small Tree and asked, "Senior Small Tree, do you know what this power inside our bodies is?"

Small Tree paused for a moment before slowly replying, "I know a bit, but I’m not entirely clear about it. I can only say, it’s a very powerful force, but also a scary one."

Long Dangdang asked, "So, is it a power that we can control?"

Small Tree said, "With your current capabilities, you are far from able to control it."

Long Dangdang pressed, "What about in the future? If we become stronger, can we control it then?"

Small Tree replied, "Of course. Therefore, you need to become even stronger. Then you can start to gradually try to control this power."

"Where does this power come from?" Long Kongkong, having experienced this power firsthand, asked curiously. He remembered feeling as though he had the power to destroy everything. He also had a crushing urge to wreak havoc. However, a familiar voice called him back to consciousness, dissipating his destructive thoughts, and ending his outburst. He was left with no knowledge of the events thereafter.

Small Tree said, "It should be something you were born with."

Long Dangdang took a deep breath, turned to Long Kongkong, and said, "It seems that we really need to study this power and start trying to control it bit by bit. Senior Small Tree, can we do this?"

Small Tree advised, "I suggest you attempt this mindful caution. This is different from the sacrifice skill. Once it’s fully released in the real world, it would be hard for you to retract it, and it may burn you to death."

Long Dangdang gravely said, "Uncontrollable power is the most terrifying. I believe we should not run away. We need to understand this power more and gradually learn to control it."

Long Kongkong said, "Big bro, it was a strange feeling. I felt as though you were integrated into my body, like you became part of me and my power grew stronger because of you. Then my head started feeling hot, as though I wanted to burn everything around me."

Small Tree said, "That’s why you were able to kill Andumari in that state, something which was originally impossible. I only told the Sacred Legate from the Knights’ Temple that Dangdang has a giant dragon as his mount. I believe the Dragon Emperor’s bloodline should be sufficient to attract their attention, so they should not be too suspicious of you. You should never reveal this power in front of them, else you risk being subjected to their research. You’re already showing extraordinary talent; don’t stand out too much."

Long Dangdang nodded, "Thanks for your help, senior. Kongkong, the Knights’ Temple plans to provide each of us with a spirit furnace, and me with the opportunity to challenge a Mithril Cathedra knight."

Long Kongkong’s eyes brightened, "Another spirit furnace? Wonderful! Small Tree, which spirit furnace should we pick?"

Small Tree didn’t react much to this news, but simply said, "We’ll see what options the Knights’ Temple have when the time comes. Your bodies are severely depleted. You should rest and meditate on it for now. Once your physical condition returns to normal, we can consider these matters."

Having said that, she returned to Long Kongkong’s body.

Long Kongkong was beaming and said, "We gained quite a bit from this trial! I wonder if we’ll be able to return to this Devil Realm in the future for cultivation. It’s simply twice the result with half the effort for us."

Long Dangdang agreed, "That’s true. Only through such cultivation can I meet the demands of Vast Ocean in a shorter amount of time."

Kongkong asked, "But what if we can’t enter the Devil Realm again?"

Long Dangdang squinted his eyes, "The Sacred Legate told me earlier that the Federation may soon be at war with the Wraith Kingdom. You can still absorb the energy from wraith entities. If we’re in a war with them, I believe, we’ll obtain similar gains. However, the risk would be much higher."

Long Kongkong blinked his eyes, "Are we going to participate in the war?"

Long Dangdang slightly tilted his head up, "I would like to. I never want to experience the feeling of powerlessness again, like when I faced the snake demon god."

Long Kongkong became serious, the sharp pain of his heart tearing apart at that very moment was still clear in his mind. It was this intense stimulation that led to his transformation.

"Alright, I’ll go with you if you want to."

"First, let’s meditate and recover our strength. Even if we’re going to join the war, we need to become stronger before that."

Long Kongkong reluctantly activated the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace. Under the amplification of the Divine Prayers Small Tree Spirit Furnace and the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace, the two began to cultivate.

As the traces of Moon Spirit Power merged into his body, Long Dangdang quickly realized that these spiritual forces had undergone some change compared to before, becoming even purer. The overall quantity seemed no different, but the pure Moon Spirit Power nourished their depleted bodies the moment it entered their bodies.

Without having to ask, they knew it was likely due to Vast Ocean receiving some of Long Dangdang’s spiritual power and completing some self-repair.

The night passed without a word. The next morning, when the sun shone through the window into the room, Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong ended their meditation.

Overnight, they had both returned to their optimal condition, with their inner and outer spiritual power in balance, and they were in their best states physically and mentally.

Nan Yu, the Paladin Commander, personally came to fetch them. Their task for today was to select their spirit furnaces. Yes, their fourth spirit furnaces.
