Chapter 290: Leave the Coordinates, I'll Be Back Later
Xiao Ze perceived the information emitted by the Infinite River, raising his eyebrows slightly. It was a contract.
This matter was not unfamiliar to him, as he possessed the Three Flower Eyes of the Snake, which essentially was a coercive contract, though directed at snake-like magical beasts.
Xiao Ze carefully recalled the information from the Infinite River and discovered that as the beneficiary, he didn't have to pay any price.
He only needed his soul as a contract to use the power of the Infinite River to kill his enemies.
Where can you find such good things in the world?
Xiao Ze started to suspect the Infinite River.
Moreover, according to the conditions of the Infinite River, any enemy he killed, whether their body or soul, would be devoured by it.
This is not a good thing!
Xiao Ze couldn't help but think this as he began to observe the Infinite River.
It looked like a river flowing in the infinite void, with no known origin or end, endless.
Only with the perception of the soul body, the power emitted by the Infinite River was at least at the Dou Sheng level.
Indeed, the power of nature can create all kinds of existences.
Like the Void Thunder Lake in the original work, whose power was comparable to an attack from a strong Dou Sheng, and in the Void Thunder Lake, Black Demon Thunders were common.
In the depths of the Void Thunder Lake, even the Nine Mysteries Golden Thunder was generated.
But compared to the Nine Mysteries Golden Thunder, which had not yet developed intelligence, the Infinite River seemed to have consciousness already.
Not only did it master this contract technique, but it also knew how to use the terrifying allure of celestial combat techniques to attract countless powerful beings to summon it.
For this type of natural existence, the more powerful it is, the harder it is to develop intelligence, and the Infinite River seemed to have been lucky.
Maybe because it was sure that the temptation of the celestial combat technique was enough for anyone to accept the contract, when Xiao Ze remained silent for a long time, the Infinite River didn't send any more information.
Xiao Ze remained alert to the Infinite River. Signing a contract with his soul, especially one where he only benefited, was suspicious.
However, Xiao Ze was also tempted by the power shown by the Infinite River.
The power of the Infinite River did not reach the level of Dou Di, as there currently were no true Dou Di on the Dou Qi continent.
At its strongest, the Infinite River only reached the pinnacle of a nine-star Dou Sheng, which still placed it at the top of the Dou Qi continent.
If it was really like this, when he became a Dou Di in the future, he could search for the Infinite River in the void and refine it as a weapon.
"I am an alchemist, a contract with the soul could hinder my progress. Could we change the conditions?"
Xiao Ze wanted to try and negotiate with the Infinite River. If it didn't work, he could withdraw.
After all, losing a small amount of soul power was no big deal for him, as he could recover it in a few days of training.
The Infinite River, flowing endlessly, emitted a slight wave and then some information.
"It is possible, but I will need your original power to complete the contract."
Perceiving this information, Xiao Ze's eyes lit up. He extended his soul body's hand, where golden lines gathered, eventually forming a small golden tree.
"Would this be suitable?"
The Infinite River raised a small wave, touching the small golden tree.
"It is suitable."
The Infinite River could perceive that the small golden tree contained Xiao Ze's original power.
Indeed, it was the purest original power, which most powerful beings couldn't concentrate to such a degree.
Xiao Ze smiled, showing timely desire for the celestial combat technique.
He threw the small golden tree into the Infinite River. Could the Infinite River influence Xiao Ze through the small golden tree?
Xiao Ze could only let the Infinite River meet the system first.
After all, the small golden tree was a divided golden root of the Origin Tree, which was a special reward from the system, and Xiao Ze didn't believe the Infinite River could touch it.
Moreover, Xiao Ze had absolute control over the divided golden root. It was impossible for the Infinite River to influence him through it.
Confirming that the small golden tree remained in the Infinite River, Xiao Ze was pleased. Later, when he had enough power, he could use the coordinates to visit the Infinite River in the void.
At that moment, a black water drop splashed from the Infinite River.
"With this drop, you can summon the Infinite River."
Xiao Ze looked at the black drop floating in front of him and, without hesitation, grabbed it with his right hand.
He felt the power of the drop flow into his soul, giving him the ability to summon the Infinite River.
After all this, the illusory sensation returned to him.
Xiao Ze, sitting in front of the black stone, separated from the stone, and the next moment, a soul figure floated out of the stone.
Xiao Ze observed the soul figure that contained part of his soul power, which looked exactly like him.
He took out a golden root the size of a finger and threw it at the soul figure, which automatically entered the golden root.
Xiao Ze had no intention of immediately integrating the part of his soul that had contacted the Infinite River into his main soul.
He temporarily left it in the golden root, and the drop of water from the Infinite River also entered the golden root, unable to influence Xiao Ze.
In the future, if he found himself in a desperate situation and needed the help of the Infinite River, he could throw the golden root at the enemy, allowing the soul power within it to summon the Infinite River.
It would be a one-time fatal attack. After using it, he could recover it, replenish the soul power, and use the drop of water to summon the Infinite River again.
Thinking about this, Xiao Ze felt strange. Was this a recyclable version of the Buddha's Fire Lotus?
Water attribute practitioners should also have their own Buddha's Fire Lotus.
Xiao Ze placed the golden root in a separate storage ring for easy use.
Seeing Xiao Ze separate from the black stone and make several movements, everyone watched him curiously.
"Xiao Ze, didn't you succeed?" Shengling asked nervously.
"No, it was better than I expected. This celestial combat technique is truly extraordinary, and it doesn't even consume much of my strength."
Xiao Ze's words left everyone confused.
Celestial combat techniques were powerful, and their corresponding consumption of Dou Qi was great, how could Xiao Ze say it wouldn't consume much of his strength?
But since Xiao Ze had no intention of explaining further, everyone dropped the topic.
Shengling stored the black stone, along with the remains of Dou Sheng Han Hai, planning to bury them properly later.
Xiao Ze looked into the void. The connection between the Origin Tree and the golden root remained clear. When he became stronger, he could visit the Infinite River again.
