C3 Sacred Artifact Summoning
The sacred summoning spell.
The rise of a family was bound to involve many secrets.
"Back then, Xiao Family's Patriarch was a peerless genius, and he created the entire Xiao Family with his own hands. However, many people only knew that Xiao Family's Patriarch was a genius who had never appeared in the world for thousands of years, but none of them knew about it. The reason why Xiao Family's Patriarch reached such a high level. "
"Does it have something to do with this place?"
After listening to what Xiao Zhenshan said, Xiao Chunyang looked at the white jade Sarcophagus in front of him. These Sarcophaguses emitted a faint fluorescent light. In this dimly lit underground hall, it looked especially beautiful.
He originally thought that it was some kind of treasure, but he didn't expect that after Xiao Zhenshan opened the white jade Sarcophagus, he would see a pile of dust and even rust.
The huge gap between them made Xiao Chunyang unable to react in time. After all, he had been looking forward to it too much. One should know that he had also studied the three hundred years of history of the Xiao Family in the past few days. He really admired the Xiao Family's Patriarch who had shaken the entire continent back then!
When he heard that the secret of Xiao Family's Patriarch's rise was kept here, he was filled with anticipation.
According to his thoughts, perhaps there were some divine weapons, peerless immortal pills, or cultivation manuals that could improve Summoner's grade!
But no matter what, he never would have thought that when the white jade Sarcophagus was opened, what he saw was actually a pile of junk.
Xiao Zhenshan did not berate Xiao Chunyang because of his words. Instead, a strange smile hung on his face. It looked like he was reminiscing about something. Then, he opened the other white jade Sarcophagus. There were 72 of them in total. Each White Jade Sarcophagus was different in size. Every one of them contained a 'tattered' object in Xiao Chunyang's eyes.
"What exactly are these?"
Xiao Chunyang was not an idiot. He also did not believe that Xiao Zhenshan would find trouble with him for no reason.
This was obviously an important place of Xiao Family. Although the journey had been smooth, he had a feeling that if someone wanted to break into this place, they would definitely encounter a very terrifying consequence.
As for these white jade Sarcophaguses, the material of the light Sarcophagus, and the white jade... If they were placed outside, it would be a sky-high price! He refused to believe that these priceless white jade Sarcophagus would be used to store things. In such an important secret place, it was actually a pile of useless junk.
"Let me ask you first, what right does Summoner have to summon his own summoning partner?"
Xiao Zhenshan did not immediately answer, but suddenly asked a common question that even a three year old child in Illusionary Soul Continent knew about.
"Summoner used the soul power in his body to summon the Magical Array. According to the grade of his soul power, he will randomly connect to the Another Dimensional Space. After that, he will make a contract with the objects in the Another Dimensional Space and use his soul power as the price. Summon the other party from the Another Dimensional Space to our world, and finally form the contract. As long as we obtain their recognition, we will become Summoner's summoning partner. "
Xiao Chunyang's answer was very reasonable and perfect, almost like a textbook answer. This was also what he had learned from reading those books crazily in the past few days.
"Yes, your answer is very good. Looks like you weren't just reading casually these past few days, you've truly devoted yourself to it. "
Xiao Zhenshan nodded slightly, and a trace of satisfaction flashed across his eyes. As a father, he felt very gratified to be able to see his youngest son, who had always been ignorant and incompetent, in such a state.
But in the next moment, he changed the topic, "Then let me ask you, Summoner's summoning is random. Before he succeeded, he didn't know what kind of object he was summoning, if it wasn't what he needed. What should I do? "
Xiao Chunyang didn't hesitate and continued to answer, "Then I can only cancel the summoning, but I can't return the soul power I used. So normally, before any Summoner starts summoning, they would be very prepared. Although the summoning itself was random, it had developed over the past ten thousand years. They could more or less find some sort of pattern, although it was not too accurate. At least it could be reduced to an acceptable range. For example, if a certain Summoner wanted a Summoned Beast type... Then he could make many preparations and make the entire summoning process... There is a certain probability that it will be connected to the beast type creatures in Another Dimensional Space. "
"Of course, this isn't a 100% success rate. There's a certain rate of failure. Also, whether the summoned creatures meet the requirements or not cannot be forced. It depends on the grade of Summoner's soul power. "
"That's right. Summoner himself is actually a kind of gambler. To put it bluntly, he is a kind of gambler! Summoner had no way of knowing that after he had paid a huge price, can you get what you need and the results? Therefore, generally speaking, Summoner would carefully form a long-term summoning contract with a certain Summoned Creature that he was satisfied with in his life. After all, no one knows if the next summoning will be better than the previous one."
Xiao Chunyang nodded. He had some understanding of this. Gambler? It was a very appropriate analogy. It could be said that in the entire Illusionary Soul Continent, even those high and mighty Heavenly Grade Summoner who stood at the peak of the continent... Even they were not confident that they could summon a powerful Summoned Creature every time.
Of course, the higher Summoner's grade, the higher the grade of his soul power, and the higher the grade of the creatures that were connected to the Another Dimensional Space when he was summoned. This was also a certainty.
However, everyone grew from the lowest grade, Summoner. Even those Heavenly Grade Summoner had experienced the same process of being weak. Could it be that everyone had to wait until Summoner became a high grade creature before summoning him?
Obviously not!
"Gambler, this is indeed a wonderful description. This kind of random summoning is like placing a bet. It would be great if you could know what you have summoned in advance."
Xiao Chunyang shook his head. After all, the soul power in Summoner's body was limited. Although there was a way to replenish it, every one of them was very harsh. Once the soul power was overused, not to mention the fact that it was impossible to maintain the contract with the Summoned Creature, even Summoner's life would be in danger!
In fact, Xiao Chunyang had always wondered if the so-called soul force was a person's soul force. Unfortunately, there was no relevant research in this continent.
But if it was really soul power, then he really had to be extremely careful!
"Yes, if we can find the target before summoning it... This was something that Summoner had been dreaming about for a long time. Not to mention the low grade Summoner, even those Heavenly Grade Summoner... We can't resist this temptation!"
Xiao Zhenshan looked at Xiao Chunyang with a satisfied expression. Initially, he was still a little skeptical. Even though Xiao Chunyang's actions these few days had given him hope, as the saying goes, it's hard to change the nature of a river. He didn't believe that a person's personality would change so quickly.
But now, he realized that his originally impetuous son had changed greatly. He had become very calm and collected, and he even thought about some problems.
How could he know that besides Second Young Master of Xiao Family's body being a member of the Xiao Family, his soul had already been replaced by someone else?
"Father, you brought me here." Xiao Chunyang wasn't stupid. He turned his head and glanced at the vast underground space. The Magical Array on the ground looked like it was carved with some kind of mysterious magic. He suddenly had a guess.
His face slightly changed, and he asked in an uncertain tone, "Could it be that Xiao Family's Patriarch had a way to confirm that the Summoned Creature he needed to summon was a certain Summoned Creature? How is this possible?"
However, when he combined what he saw here with what he had just seen, Xiao Zhenshan seemed to be a little long-winded as he spoke in an orderly manner. However, he had this feeling.
"That's right! You're right! That year, the old ancestor had indeed experienced a fortuitous encounter. He found a special way to make Summoner use summoning magic. When connecting to a different dimension, a specific dimensional creature would form a connection. We can then summon it to our world! "
Xiao Chunyang was truly shocked this time!
It was one thing for him to guess, and the same thing for him to hear the confirmation!
"This... Is this really possible? This is too crazy!"
One should know that there were actually a lot of Summoner in the Illusionary Soul Continent. However, most of the Summoner did not have very good Summoned Creature to assist him. Except for a few wealthy and powerful Summoner who could constantly replenish his soul energy and gamble time and time again. Over 90% of Summoner's entire life, he did not know if he could use summoning magic ten times in his lifetime!
Suddenly, he seemed to understand why Xiao Family's Patriarch suddenly rose to power in such a short period of time, and then created a huge Xiao Family.
At the same time, he also understood why this place was protected by layers of guards. It was so secretive that outside of the current family head and the confirmed next family head, the rest of the people did not even know about their relatives!
If the Xiao Family really had such means, once they were found out, it would cause a rain of blood!
"The 19th generation descendant of the Xiao Family, Xiao Chunyang!"
Suddenly, Xiao Zhenshan's dignified voice sounded. Xiao Chunyang's expression turned serious. He knew that he would be exposed to the biggest secret of the Xiao Family in the future!
"The descendant of the Xiao Family, Xiao Chunyang! As the eighteenth family head of the Xiao Family, from today onwards, I will appoint you as the successor of the 19th family head of the Xiao Family. At the same time, you will have the right to know the biggest secret of the Xiao Family!"
Xiao Chunyang nodded slowly with a solemn expression, while Xiao Zhenshan revealed a slight smile.
"Alright, there are some things that you can ask me directly if you have any questions. By the way, I suppose your biggest question right now is the summoning technique of the old ancestor?"
Seeing Xiao Chunyang nod his head, Xiao Zhenshan stretched out his finger and pointed at the white jade Sarcophagus. Within the white jade Sarcophagus, there were a lot of 'junk'. There were all kinds of things, including rusty weapons and broken utensils. Even old clothes and even some dry mud and fossil-like rocks.
"Those are not scraps, but sacred objects!"
"Sacred objects?" Xiao Chunyang was puzzled.
"Yes, the sacred object! These things had a direct or indirect connection with the creatures in Another Dimensional Space! Back then, it was because of these things that the old ancestor created a set of summoning magic. That's why he was able to do all of that!"
