The phantom of Hercules quickly dissipated, completely vanished.
In this universe, there is no trace of Hercules' spirit anymore. The only mark he left behind is the Pluto's Devil-Splitting Blade.
This super-first-class artifact possesses extremely terrifying power.
After all, this was Hercules' accumulation over thousands of years, and he sacrificed his own remaining soul.
Gao Xuan looked at the Pluto's Demon-Splitting Blade in his hand, feeling neither happy nor sad, just a little melancholy.
To be honest, Hercules was also a king. He didn't want Hercules to linger like a ghost.
But Hercules's exit in such a violent way was not a good ending.
To be honest, the Super-First-Class Pluto's Blade is certainly good. Even in the current Holy Temple, there are probably not many artifacts of this level.
Gao Xuan didn't care too much. He wanted to recover his power, so this artifact was dispensable. If he didn't recover his power, he wouldn't be able to exert the power of this artifact.
As for whether he would fulfill his promise or not, Hercules would not be able to see it.
Of course Gao Xuan will fulfill his promise. Although he may be in a low mood sometimes, he will do what he says.
This is not just Hercules' hatred, it is also his greatest hatred.
A bunch of clowns who stole his power and acted recklessly must pay the price.
Paying back a hundredfold is not just a slogan.
It's just that Hercules was too impatient and said too little about what happened a thousand years ago. He didn't even reveal Helen's whereabouts.
There is no doubt that Helen is not dead. She just disappeared somewhere.
The universe is so vast that there is no need to go to another world, just running outside the Milky Way is enough.
If there is no clue, even if we sweep away all the clowns and take back the temple, we may not be able to find Helen.
"Father-in-law, you are too anxious..."
Gao Xuan complained in his heart that the person was dead, but he still wanted to make use of his remaining energy. He was embarrassed to say too much.
When he returned to the temple, Yuan Youyuan was still in meditation and had no idea what had happened to him.
Gao Xuan lay down beside Yuan Youyuan. Now he had time to study the Pluto's Demon-Splitting Blade.
This super-first-class artifact that the father-in-law used his soul to refine has three powerful magical powers.
The first magical power is the Pluto Soul-Severing Blade, which is specifically designed to destroy the soul.
Speaking of it, it is similar to the Xuanyin Soul-Slaying Whip, but its power is much stronger than the Xuanyin Soul-Slaying Whip.
Even the evil god cannot withstand the blow of Pluto's Soul-Slaying Blade.
The second magical power is the underworld domain, which can build a huge underworld world.
This kind of spatial divine domain has complex changes and great power. Gao Xuan has no way to test its power, nor does he know how powerful the Underworld divine domain is.
This level of artifact is extremely complex. Even though Gao Xuan has a powerful soul, it is impossible for him to figure it out immediately.
The third magical power is the Pluto's Order.
This kind of magical power is very interesting. It can detain the soul of a killed strong man and force the soul of the strong man to work for itself.
As for things like extracting souls and reading memories, these are just basic abilities that come with it.
These three magical powers were brought by the Pluto's Sword. The original power of the Demon-Splitting Arm Blade was preserved and forcibly upgraded to a super-first-grade state by the Pluto's Sword.
In other words, in addition to the three magical powers of Hades, the power of the Demon-Splitting Blade itself has also been upgraded to the super-first level.
This time, the method of forcibly refining the magic weapon through the soul is very crude.
That is to say, the Pluto's Sword accumulated 300 billion souls and used the soul of Hercules as a guide to achieve this effect.
If Gao Xuan were to refine it, the Pluto's Demon-Splitting Blade would even reach a higher level.
Of course, Gao Xuan couldn't do that. He wasn't crazy, using his father-in-law's spirit to refine a magical weapon.
Gao Xuan studied for a long time and found a huge problem. It was very difficult for him to control the Pluto's Demon-Splitting Blade with his current spiritual power.
From the third level to the super first level, it is like a cannonball turning into a hydrogen bomb. The difference is too big.
With his current strength, it was already very difficult for him to activate the Pluto's Demon-Splitting Blade, let alone the energy to control it.
In other words, he won't be able to use this thing for a while.
However, the Pluto's Demon-Splitting Blade itself has great value.
The third grade is spiritual, the second grade is selected, and the first grade is divine.
A magical instrument that reaches the first grade is a well-deserved divine instrument from any perspective.
A super-first-class divine weapon means that the rules are embodied. The divine weapon itself can transform the divine domain and possess supreme power.
Hercules has not been idle for the past thousand years. He has absorbed so many spirits and wisdom, and has also developed his own unique understanding of the cultivation system.
A divine weapon like the Pluto's Sword is still a first-rate divine weapon in the alliance even if its power is not upgraded.
The cultivation system has a more in-depth and detailed analysis of cultivation, but the expansion of the upper limit of strength is minimal.
Hercules modified the Pluto's Sword and truly enhanced its power.
The key is the accumulation of a thousand years, absorbing hundreds of billions of souls. All this power is transferred to the Pluto Sword, which is too powerful.
Pluto's Demon-Splitting Blade also inherited this advantage, which is the ability to continuously increase its strength by hunting down spirits.
From this point of view, Pluto's Demon-Splitting Blade can be held for a long time.
Due to environmental restrictions, Gao Xuan could only silently observe the mystery of the runes of Pluto's Demon-Splitting Blade.
Even Yuan Youyuan, who was standing right beside him, didn't know that Gao Xuan had acquired an earth-shatteringly powerful artifact.
Shui Yunlan also knew that Gao Xuan had been out, but she didn't care about such a small matter. Gao Xuan was only at the foundation-building stage, what could he do without permission? Hunt down the evil god
Regardless of whether Gao Xuan has this ability, the power of the evil god will cause a huge change. This cannot be hidden.
Although Gao Xuan has the talent to find evil gods, he is not strong enough and can't do anything special.
Shui Yunlan naturally could never have imagined that Gao Xuan had already met Hercules behind the scenes during his one-hour absence.
This meeting between the two sides changed Poseidon and even the entire alliance.
Two days later, the order from the Holy Temple finally arrived, and Shui Yunlan, Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan used the teleportation array to return to the Holy Temple headquarters together.
After returning to the headquarters, Shui Yunlan first reported to the Supervisory Headquarters.
Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan returned to the training base. They were gone for forty days and missed some courses.
Fortunately, they were commissioned by the Ministry of Supervision for training. They could not attend classes due to the Ministry of Supervision's tasks, and the training base gave them great support. The missed courses were also counted as full credits.
Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan first visited Director Jin Hongmei and gave her some specialties from Poseidon.
Although the gift is not very valuable, what matters is the thought and politeness.
Jin Hongmei was very happy to receive the gifts, and she even invited Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan to have dinner at her home.
The fact that they stayed at home for dinner also showed Jin Honghai's close attitude towards them.
Jin Hongmei was well-informed and knew that something big had happened on Poseidon this time, but Gao Xuan's performance was outstanding.
Shui Yunlan got into trouble, but it had nothing to do with Gao Xuan.
Some people in the Supervisory Headquarters also expressed their appreciation for Gao Xuan. It is never difficult to kill the evil god, but it is difficult to find the evil god.
Through this battle, the inspection headquarters saw Gao Xuan's ability. Gao Xuan also has Huo Wuming's support behind him. If there are no accidents, Gao Xuan's future will be smooth sailing.
Of course, Jin Hongmei would try her best to win over such a potential stock. Even if she couldn't use him in the future, it was good to make more friends.
A family dinner, both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.
After leaving Jin Hongmei's house, Yuan Youyuan sighed and said, "Look at Director Jin, he's really good at chatting. Compared to Director Jin, Shui Yunlan is like a fool."
"If Shui Yunlan was as good at dealing with people as Director Jin, she would have been promoted long ago."
Gao Xuan said: "This girl, we should stay away from her in the future."
"I don't know how many points I can get..."
Yuan Youyuan looked at Gao Xuan expectantly: "Brother, please give me more."
"Hmph, let's see how you perform."
"Dad, please..."
Yuan Youyuan looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she hugged Gao Xuan's neck and acted cute, rubbing against Gao Xuan like a snake.
The scene of intimate interaction between young men and women appeared on a surveillance screen.
Two investigators from the Supervisory Department watched very carefully.
There are surveillance cameras here monitoring their behavior. Although the two find the images disgusting, they have no choice but to watch them.
Jin Yijun from the Supervision Department walked in from outside. He glanced at the surveillance footage and asked, "We've been monitoring for a few days. Have you found anything?"
"The two of them behaved normally, and no evil spirit was detected..."
Monitoring investigators who are out on missions is also a normal procedure of the Supervision Department.
Besides, such a big thing happened on the Sea Emperor Planet. Jin Yijun personally stepped in but still couldn't find the problem.
Jin Yijun also felt a little embarrassed, so he ordered his subordinates to closely monitor Gao Xuan and the other two to see if they could find any clues.
After watching the surveillance footage for a while, Jin Yijun also felt bored. He said, "That's it. All the records will be archived. No need to continue monitoring."
The two subordinates hurriedly stood up and responded. They were also very happy. It was actually quite boring to stare at Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan.
The two of them spend the whole day together, wishing they could stick together.
Instead of spending time watching two people show their affection, you might as well play some games.
In the next two days, Gao Xuan also noticed that the surveillance on him had been removed. This was good news.
The better news is that the rewards from the headquarters have finally come in. Seven evil god crystals, a total of 430,000 points.
Because the team suffered heavy losses, Shui Yunlan had an unshirkable responsibility, so 120,000 reward points were deducted.
Shui Yunlan gave Gao Xuan half of the remaining 310,000 points in accordance with the prior agreement: 155,000 points.
With such a discount, there are not many points left.
Yuan Youyuan originally had high hopes for it, but when she saw that there were only 150,000 points left, she lost interest in it.
After all, Gao Xuan needed points to borrow secret techniques, so it would be useless for her to get points. At least she wasn't in a hurry to use them.
Gao Xuan couldn't let Yuan Youyuan work in vain. Even if he didn't do much, he was still working hard to accompany him to sleep every day.
He gave Yuan Youyuan 25,000 points, which was enough for her daily use.
Gao Xuan used the remaining 130,000 points to borrow secret techniques.
There are four books in total, namely, "General Explanation of the Great Five Elements System", "Correct Explanation of Pure Yang Thunder", "The Theory of Yin and Yang of Two Principles", and "The Theory of Yin and Yang of Space and Gods". They are all the highest-level works in the theoretical system. They are also the culmination of the existing theory of the cultivation system.
These theories do not contain specific practice methods, but only an in-depth analysis of the cultivation system from top to bottom.
Because it is a theory, many of them are speculations and have not been verified.
The cultivation system has developed to this point and is now very complete.
Many people are not good at cultivation, but they are good at theoretical deduction. For an advanced system, theoretical research is very important.
Only when cutting-edge theories have produced results can we find the direction forward.
It's just that this kind of purely theoretical research is at a very high level. Foundation builders like Gao Xuan generally don't need to read these theories.
Just like a soldier shooting a gun, there is no need to study the theory of relativity.
Therefore, these purely theoretical works are very expensive. Since they do not contain any practical methods for cultivation, only those who engage in theoretical research will read them.
Only the super strong ones standing at the top need to enrich themselves with theoretical knowledge.
Gao Xuan got four theoretical works and went into cyberspace every day to study hard.
The so-called borrowing means that he is qualified to learn but not qualified to spread it to others.
Of course, it is difficult to prohibit the spread of such purely theoretical works. However, some of the key words will be monitored by Skynet and Cyberspace to ensure that they will not be spread on a large scale.
Gao Xuan's family background was too low. If he came from a noble family, he could find a few family elders and find a way to borrow books for free.
Fortunately, cyberspace is not charged in vain. The relevant content of theoretical works will be directly projected to the soul level to ensure the integrity of knowledge.
A lot of knowledge in the cultivation system cannot be recorded and spread through images, text, or sound. Only through the soul level can the information be fully transmitted.
It must be said that over the millennium of system development, a large number of talents have indeed emerged.
In most aspects, his understanding of the essence of the five elements, thunder, yin and yang, space and time is not as good as Gao Xuan's. However, in various details, he is more in-depth and subtle.
He also has unique insights into the exploration and research of source power, soul, space, and time.
Gao Xuan also gained a lot from his study, especially from the top-down analysis of the entire cultivator system, which allowed him to grasp the core of the current cultivator system.
The analytical methods and theoretical discussions were of great inspiration to Gao Xuan.
It is the combined wisdom of countless talented elites that has led to such a high achievement.
No matter how big the problems were for Nuwa and Qin Shiyue, they were doing very well in the cultivation system.
Gao Xuan should affirm this point.
Especially the analysis of the evil god, which goes deep into the level of the origin rules of space.
It is precisely because of the deep understanding of the evil god that the temple began to raise the evil god.
Unfortunately, those in power have been at the top for too long and have forgotten that they are also human, and that the lower class who serve as fodder for the evil god are their own kind.
Gao Xuan repeatedly studied and interpreted the four sets of works he borrowed.
I usually go to class and study, and when I have nothing to do, I hang out with Yuan Youyuan. Life is quite relaxing.
Shui Yunlan never contacted Gao Xuan again. Gao Xuan heard that Shui Yunlan was transferred to an alien star region.
For someone like Shui Yunlan, going to the alien region is like exile. This woman is ruthless, but she is unlucky. I am afraid she will never have a chance to rise to the top.
Gao Xuan read several books and spent 10,000 points to learn a course called "Yin Yang Liang Yi Transformation".
This spell is more complicated than the Five Elements spell, with a total of 1,280,001 runes.
Gao Xuan's Five Elements Rune Seed is complete, and it will be easy to cultivate the Yin-Yang Rune Seed.
In fact, the five elements themselves are divided into yin and yang. Jia wood is yang, Yi wood is yin. Bing fire is yang, Ding fire is yin...
The Yin-Yang Transformation itself does not have any exclusive source force attributes, but it transforms Yin and Yang as the source force transforms, distinguishing between hardness and softness, water and fire.
The five elements are real, and yin and yang are change. Only when the five elements are combined with yin and yang can infinite changes be produced.
The positive universe, the negative universe, and all the heavens and worlds can all be understood using Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.
Gao Xuan had the deepest understanding of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and he also had a powerful and pure soul that could illuminate all things. He guided the Yin and Yang rune seeds and the Five Elements rune seeds to combine, and the process went very smoothly.
After a year, the Yin-Yang and Five Elements rune seeds merged into one, and they were only one step away from condensing the golden elixir.
In Gao Xuan's opinion, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Rune Seeds are almost complete.
It only takes one or two months to polish it to perfection and then form a super-first-grade golden elixir.
By then, you will naturally be able to reach the super-grade golden elixir level in one step.
But, something happened at this moment.
"Hello, I'm Huo Wenyuan."
A clean young man came to Gao Xuan and introduced himself politely.
"Hello." Gao Xuan didn't know this person, but in this place, if the surname is Huo, there are only members of the Huo family.
Huo Wenyuan smiled slightly: "I will go to Wanling Star Region to carry out a mission in three days. Please come with me."
He was afraid that Gao Xuan didn't understand, so he explained: "This time you need to kill as many evil gods as possible, which is exactly what you are good at. This is also a chance for you to show your abilities."
Gao Xuan shook his head slightly: "Sorry, I have important things to do recently and can't go out."
The smile on Huo Wenyuan's face disappeared in an instant. He didn't expect Gao Xuan to dare to refuse him.
He looked at Gao Xuan in some disbelief. Gao Xuan looked at Huo Wenyuan calmly, without any ripples in his eyes.
Huo Wenyuan was a little annoyed: "You may not have heard clearly, I'll say it again, my name is Huo Wenyuan."
"Sorry." If it was okay, Gao Xuan wouldn't mind helping. Right now, he was at the most urgent and important moment, and he didn't have time to bother with this person.
Huo Wenyuan was born into a top-notch family and never thought that a guy of Gao Xuan's status would dare to refuse his request.
He said nothing more and turned and left.
The faces of the people following Huo Wenyuan changed drastically. A young woman pointed at Gao Xuan and yelled, "You are just a dog raised by the old man. How dare you disobey the words of the Seventh Young Master? Are you tired of living..."
