Chapter 480: Ming Greets Master!

Su Jingxing was a little confused.

Three days have passed?

It hasn’t even been three minutes, has it?

Su Jingxing wasn’t the only one. The others were equally confused, stunned, and in disbelief.

“That… that was too fast, right?” Nian Ling’er murmured in a daze.

Nian Susu was equally confused. “F-First Chief and the King did say that once one enters the Soul Refining Tower, time will pass very quickly.”

“But it’s too fast. I haven’t even begun to refine my soul and it’s already over.”

“That’s right. I just felt it, and it was time.”

“Will I have a chance to come in again?”

“You’re thinking too much. It opens once a year, and there are only eight spots each time. Our next turn might not come even if we wait a thousand years.”

“…”

The others spoke up one after another, displeased, dissatisfied, and indignant.

They had just begun to refine their souls and were forced to stop after tasting the benefits.

No one was willing for this to end here.

Even though it had passed very quickly earlier, the magical comprehension had indeed saved a lot of time.

And the more this was so, the more indignant he was.

Su Jingxing came back to his senses and fell silent.

He was also unwilling to end it like this.

If the Heart Moon Foxes still have a chance to come here again, Su Jingxing had no chance at all.

This time, Su Jingxing got a spot because he saved more than a hundred people when the Heart Moon Foxes had encountered a calamity.

If he wanted to obtain another spot, it was unless the Heart Moon Foxes encountered another calamity and Su Jingxing took the opportunity to save them again or be of great help.

The question was, what were the chances of the Heart Moon Foxes encountering another calamity?

Even if another calamity did occur again, given Su Jingxing’s strength, how much help could he be?

The Heart Moon Foxes were currently guarded by a sixth-realm Devil King. On the entire Seven Luminaries Planet, and even the few large life planets around, it was an invincible existence.

Who would dare to provoke the Heart Moon Foxes?

The Violent Blood Wolves that escaped? The Six-Pupil Hounds?

These two races would at most launch a few sneak attacks in the dark and would not dare to appear again.

As such, it was almost impossible for Su Jingxing to come in here again.

But he was really unwilling to give up just like that.

Su Jingxing’s mind raced as he thought of a solution. His gaze kept shifting between the nine Soul Refining Towers.

The mysterious black tower that seemed alive but was not.

There are a total of nine, but only eight have opened.

What if I move the ninth one away?

Such a thought suddenly popped up in Su Jingxing’s mind.

Take one of the nine Mind Refining Towers with him!

In any case, for so many years, there had been no movement from the ninth black tower. Su Jingxing moving away would not affect the Heart Moon Foxes much.

As for how to move them, time was tight, so Su Jingxing decided to make a big move.

…

“Alright, everyone, stop talking.”

Amidst the discussion, Nian Xiaosu, who had calmed down, shouted, “At this point, it’s useless for us to dwell on this. We should prepare to return.”

“Sigh…”

Nian Ling’er sighed. “It’s just started and it’s already over. It’s too torturous.”

“If not, what else… Mm, what’s going on?” A cry of alarm.

The eight of them were suddenly wrapped in an invisible force and pushed backward.

“Don’t be nervous and don’t resist.”

Nian Susu shouted in time, “This is the repulsive force of the space. When the time is up, this space will automatically expel us and return us to the abyss.”

I see!

Realization dawned on Su Jingxing. He quickly took out a card, unlocked it, and threw it at the ninth Soul Refining Tower.

His speed was too fast for the others to notice.

As for the ninth Soul Refining Tower, after the unlocked card strangely buried into it, it suddenly disappeared from its original position.

At the same time, Su Jingxing and the seven others were expelled from the space and returned to the abyss.

Just like when they came down, an invisible force pushed the eight of them upwards.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In a few breaths, the group of eight flew out of the abyss.

“They’re out, they’re out!”

Cheers sounded from the edge of the cliff.

Swish! Swish!

Figures flashed as they moved quickly in the air.

Su Jingxing landed on the ground and steadied himself.

“Haha, how is it, Kong Xuan? Doesn’t it make you want to go in again?” Feng Xian’s laughter sounded. This Heart Moon Fox King walked towards Su Jingxing with a smile.

“Indeed.” Su Jingxing nodded and admitted.

“That’s good. I wish to enter a few more times myself, let alone you.”

Feng Xian sighed. “What a pity. It only opens once a year, and there are only eight slots at a time. Everyone’s turn is really limited.

“However, the Heart Moon Foxes have a rule that all new sons-in-law will be rewarded with a spot to enter.

Feng Xian raised his eyebrows at Su Jingxing as he spoke.

“…”

This person was determined to recruit him as his son-in-law!

Without the Intelligence Awakening Card, Su Jingxing might have agreed.

Yet.

Once the Intelligence Awakening Card was used, Su Jingxing would no longer need to enter the Soul Refining Space!

…

Earth Star.

Yu Nation.

Void World territory.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul opened its soul space with a smile and released a pitch-black item.

The Soul Refining Tower!

Before being expelled from the Soul Refining Space, Su Jingxing had unlocked the Intelligence Awakening Card that he had kept away for a long time and applied it to the ninth Soul Refining Tower.

Then, this mysterious black tower silently entered his soul space.

At this moment, in the Void World, the nine-story black tower that had never been opened in countless years saw the doors of four levels opening at once.

Swish!

A translucent figure wrapped in purple light detached itself from the tower and floated in midair. It faced Su Jingxing and shouted respectfully.

“Ming¹ greets Master.”

Master!

That’s right, Master.

After the inanimate object augmented by the Intelligence Awakening Card gained sentience, it would automatically acknowledge Su Jingxing as its master and bind its soul.

It was unknown if the ninth Soul Refining Tower had a tower spirit in the past. In any case, from this moment on, the translucent figure would be the new tower spirit!

“Your name is Ming?”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul looked at the translucent tower spirit with the outline of an old man and asked curiously, “Did you come up with the name Ming yourself, or was it innate?”

Su Jingxing didn’t give it a name.

“Master, Ming doesn’t know either.”

Ming, who was about 1.9 meters tall, replied calmly, “Ming only knows that Ming is called Ming.”

It was a little confusing.

But Su Jingxing understood.

It had most likely grown on its own. As for the exact reason, it was related to the Soul Refining Tower.

“Then do you know the origin of this tower?”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul did not pester it and asked something else. “For example, what is the true function of this tower? I believe it’s not just Soul Refining, right?”

“Master, Ming does not know the origin of this tower at the moment.”

The old man replied calmly, “Because half of this tower has been sealed. Ming’s memories have also been sealed. Ming only knows the functions of the four lower levels.”

“From the bottom up, they are Soul Refinement, Divine Refinement, Heavenly Divination, and Instant Space.

“…Soul Refinement? Divine Refinement?” Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul asked curiously, “What’s the difference between the two?”

“Master, Soul Refinement is active, and only one person can do it. Divine Refinement is passive, and there is no limit to the number of people. The more people there are, the better the effect!”

Uh~

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul blinked and said seriously, “Can you elaborate? Mainly on Divine Refinement, in a way that’s easier to understand.”

“That can be done.”

Ming replied calmly, “To put it simply, Divine Refinement is for others to help Master refine his soul.”
