Chapter 623: Book of Shadow Souls
After quickly eating breakfast, when Ye Ling walked out of the door of the cafeteria, he happened to see Wei Wen, who was being held up by several dark knights and pushed out of the door.
This once arrogant and domineering guy was very embarrassed at this time, he struggled and said: "Let go of me, you bastards, I don't want to leave the Holy See, the Holy Maiden is mine, I am the next Pope!"
Anger flashed on the faces of the Dark Knights who were holding him at the same time, because Vivan's words not only insulted the Pope, but also the Dark Celestial Maiden, the two people they respected the most in the Holy See, not to mention that Ye Ling's prestige had begun to appear.
If Vivian was not Vieri's son, he could have been put to death at once, or imprisoned.
However, his glory in the Holy See is no more.
Extremely spoiling Vivian is not the original soul of Vieri, but the shadow soul demon, although it is a violent soul, but for his grandson, he is very partial, which also makes Vivian lawless in the Holy See, and wants to get involved in the dark goddess.
After the Shadow Soul Demon was removed, the original Vieri could not tolerate Vivian becoming a moth of the Dark Holy See, and soon ordered her expulsion from the Holy See.
A dark knight couldn't help but say: "Vivan, keep your mouth clean, and if you dare to speak disrespectfully to Pope Bixia and His Highness the Holy Maiden, I will give you a few ear scrapers!"
Vivian said angrily: "You dare, and you don't want to think about what kind of person I, Vivian?"
The other dark knight sneered, "You're just a lost dog that even Archbishop Vieri can't stand and doesn't want to protect anymore, and you can still ......"
Speaking of this, he was suddenly very surprised, looked ahead, quickly stood up straight, and saluted: "Pope Bixia!"
At this time, everyone realized that Ye Ling had come behind him at some point, and hurriedly saluted together.
Wei Wen couldn't recognize Ye Ling's identity either, but Ye Ling, who was under the cover of the mystery mask, had the momentum of an emperor, and he was a little timid in his heart, but when he thought that he was going to leave the Dark Sect, he also let it go: "Damn, grandpa won't do this to me, it must be you, I'm going to find him, he has already promised to ......"
Before he finished speaking, he only heard two crisp sounds, and two bright red palm prints appeared on Viven's left and right faces, with slight flowers in front of him, and there was one more person in front of him, and it was Vieri.
Wei Wen covered his face and said in disbelief: "Grandpa, you ......"
The black-clothed cardinal's face turned pale: "They are right, that's what I mean, get out, get out of the way as far as possible, I never want to zaijian you!"
After Vieri's own admission, Vivian finally believed it, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards the gate of the Holy See, several dark knights hurriedly followed, they needed to escort Vivian out with their own eyes to complete the task.
Vieri sighed and said, "Pope Bixia, I'm sorry for his business, please forgive me for being a little selfish, after all, he is my grandson." β
He drove Vivian out of the Holy See, in fact, to keep Vivian, otherwise, with Vivian's arrogant personality, sooner or later he would perish in the Holy See, and if he committed a worse crime, it would not be as simple as expelling him from the Holy See.
"It's okay, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless!" Ye Ling patted him on the shoulder: "Archbishop Vieri, do a good job, I believe in you!"
Vieri hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, Pope Bixia!"
Ye Ling nodded at him, left, and went straight to the council department to have a message to Lucy.
The Dark Celestial Maiden soon appeared in the Pope's office, and she was always dressed in a black dress, but it did not make people feel monotonous, because the temperament of this great beauty is always changing, she is still so beautiful and moving, with a smile and a smile that is so pleasing to the eye, the Dark Celestial Maiden will always be the most beautiful scenery in the Holy See.
Her arrival made the serious papal office seem a little more angry.
Pointing to the seat in front of him, Ye Ling said, "Lucy, sit down and talk about it." β
Lucy's face was full of spring breeze, she looked in a good mood, she was happy for Ye Ling: "Pope Bixia, you did another amazing thing yesterday, but it's a pity that I couldn't be there to see in person how you saved Archbishop Vieri!"
Yesterday the Holy See held a propaganda event, and Lucy, who is the spokesperson of the image, had to attend, so she was not able to go to the cell with the crowd, and only later heard about it from other high-ranking people.
Ye Ling smiled slightly: "It's okay, I just want to do my best to help Archbishop Vieri, and at the same time to reduce my own burden, he is a good helper who is both prestigious and intelligent!"
"Hehe, Pope Bixia, no matter what, you are still amazing," Lucy looked at him and said, "Even the former Pope is helpless against the demons in his heart, you are destined to be a person who can continue to create miracles!"
"Okay, Lucy, don't always praise me, I'm going to be embarrassed!" Ye Ling turned back to the topic: "I came to you today to ask about something." β
Seeing his serious appearance, Lucy also put away her smile: "Oh, Pope Bixia, if you have anything, you can tell me, as long as I know, I will tell you." β
Ye Ling groaned and said, "We met in the desert before, did you have any other purpose in taking me back to the Holy See?"
Lucy's face changed slightly: "This ......"
At that time, she really didn't want to help Ye Ling, she just wanted to find out the name and source of his soul power and mental method, but she was embarrassed to say this.
Ye Ling looked at her: "Lucy, I need your honest answer, this is very important to me!"
Lucy was ruthless and nodded: "That's right, Pope Bixia, I did have some intentions, during that journey, I once tested you, and found that your soul power was actually attracted to the shadow soul power. β
Ye Ling clapped his palms and said, "Sure enough!"
Lucy lowered her head, as if she had done something wrong: "I'm sorry, Pope Bixia, I only had some scheming against you for the sake of the Holy See at that time." β
Ye Ling smiled: "Don't worry, I didn't blame you, I just wanted to figure out some problems." β
"What's the problem?" Lucy said tentatively, "This kind of soul power should have been taught to you by the former Pope Bixia based on the Book of Shadow Souls, right?"
"Hmm......" Ye Ling noncommittally let out a note from his nose, even if he was already the Dark Pope, he still didn't want to tell others about the existence of the Nether Book and the Fox Demon Empress, it was his secret.
Then Ye Ling communicated with the fox demon empress in his heart: "Sister Julie, it's already decided, what's next?"
Julie asked rhetorically, "Don't you think that the connection between these two strange books might be useful to you?"
"Hehe, I know what to do!" Ye Ling thought of this and turned back to reality: "Lucy, now that the Holy See has settled down, I want to study the Book of Shadow Souls as soon as possible, I wonder if you can take me to see it first?"
"Of course you can, but only the highest level can learn the original copy of the Book of Shadow Souls, at the very top of the Shadow Soul Tower, including the Pope, no one can take it off and carry it with them without the permission of most of the higher-ups. Lucy said embarrassedly: "Pope Bixia, are we ......?"
Ye Ling understood what she meant, and nodded immediately: "Don't be so troublesome, let's go to the Shadow Soul Tower and have a look!"
The Shadow Soul Tower stands in the center of the Dark Holy See Headquarters, which is equivalent to the library of some big families, and almost all the secret skills in the Holy See are treasured on the tower.
From a distance, this tower looks like a standing shadow, it is pitch black, because it is also protected by Liliang of the Dark Realm, even if outsiders can sneak into the Holy See, it is not easy to step into the Shadow Soul Tower.
Of course, as the two highest-ranking members of the Holy See, Ye Ling and Lucy could walk through the open door openly.
This tower has a total of ten floors, the area of the first layer is huge, just like a small square, and there are dense collections of various books inside, but they are all the foundation of the Dark Moon Fighting Qi, as well as general martial arts skills, for people who are not strong enough to learn higher-level classics, and most of the people who are active here are the lowest level of the sect.
As they went up, the area and number of books on each floor began to decrease, and the level of various secret techniques increased, and when they reached the highest tenth floor, the area was only the same as a small martial arts field.
There are a total of five people guarding this tower, and one of them has a holy fire symbol on his black armor, which is actually a paladin of the Holy See.
In order to protect the original copy of the Book of Shadow Souls, the Holy See did not hesitate to send paladins on duty twenty-four hours a day, and several people other than the paladins were also high-level dark knights of the Holy See.
Seeing the arrival of the two, several dark knights hurriedly saluted: "Pope Bixia, Your Highness the Holy Maiden!"
"Well, you've done a great job. Ye Ling's simple words warmed the hearts of several dark knights, and the cigarette stick became a little straighter, and he said loudly: "This is our duty!"
Ye Ling bowed his head and said, "Okay, it is precisely because the Holy See has people like you that it can continue to grow, I am very pleased!"
There was a hint of appreciation in Lucy's eyes, because Ye Ling knew how to control his subordinates, as a pope, to win the hearts of the people, it took more than just prestige, if he occasionally showed some care, the sect would be more loyal to him, the former pope knew how to grasp these seemingly useless, but after accumulation, it could make the rule more solid.
Ye Ling took out his Dark Emperor Badge, this symbol representing the supreme ruler of the Pope, its role was not only to show his identity, but also the key to unlock the tenth layer of the Shadow Soul Tower.
Putting the Dark Emperor Seal into a groove outside the door, it emitted several colored lights of different colors, which were quickly absorbed, and then he heard a "click", and the heavy alloy gate slowly opened to both sides, however, he found that after entering the alloy gate, there was also an alloy gate in front.
Continue to open with the Dark Emperor Chapter, and after passing through several alloy doors in a row, I finally arrived at my destination.
The topmost tower is like a secret room, completely enclosed, and very empty, there are almost no obstacles, among which is a book, surrounded by black light, quietly suspended in the air, like a sheepskin-like paper yellowing, it should be very old, a heavy breath of history comes from the surface, on the cover of the book, four ancient words are like a dragon, lifelike, as if they will leave the book at any time and take off.
Ye Ling could see the meaning of those four big characters - the Book of Shadow Souls, this is the text of the legendary era, and Ye Ling also knew it because of the relationship between studying the Book of the Netherworld. To his surprise, the paper and the style of the cover of this Book of Shadow Souls were very similar to the Book of Netherworld, and it could even be said that it was identical, and just by looking at its cover, you could even be sure that there was indeed a connection between them.
Lucy's slender jade hand stretched out, and the black light dispersed in the distance, and the two walked to the parchment, Lucy said: "Pope Bixia, this is the true book of shadow souls, do you want to start studying now?" β
Ye Ling thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a look first, and then let's talk about it!"
"Haode!" Lucy's mind moved, and the first page of the parchment book was opened, but there was no text in it, and it was blank.
But Ye Ling knew the secret, and he didn't need Lucy to remind him, he concentrated his mental power, staring at the blank page, and gradually, a shadow appeared in front of his eyes in a trance, and this shadow kept moving, gradually dividing into two, three, four...... , more and more, their movements are different, but they don't seem to be completely independent of each other, dazzling to see, dizzy heads.
Ye Ling was unmoved, he knew that this was not an illusion, but the liliang of the Book of Shadow Souls, according to the fox demon empress, the secret techniques of the legendary era, many of them were written by divine thoughts, after the war of the gods, the remaining divine thoughts were obtained by some divine servants, and they also had the liliang that destroyed the world and destroyed the earth, although they could not reach the realm of the gods, but it was enough to become the hegemon of one party, this is the lord of the legendary era, some legendary lords hope that the liliang mysteries they have obtained from the fragmentary memories of the gods can be passed on to the next generation, so they use these scattered divine thoughts to write the mysteries on some carriers that can carry liliangγ Compared with the martial arts cheats of later generations, these strange books written by gods are much more powerful to inspire a person, you only need to concentrate your mental power, you can get hints from the book, and directly comprehend some mysteries, compared to words, this is a different grade, for this reason, the speed of learning the same skill, several times or even ten times faster than ordinary classics.
Therefore, the original copy of this Book of Shadow Souls cannot be compared with the copies of the towers below, and those copies are actually written in the form of words by the high-level members of the Holy See who are qualified to read the Book of Netherworld, according to their own experiences and experiences, but cultivators cannot learn the full essence of the original Book of Shadow Souls.
