Chapter 590: Closed

"Yes, what are you planning?" Lao Xie scratched his scalp depressedly and said, "The Prophecy Book, the artifact battle axe, the artifact badge, the demigod Tustaman, the three artifacts on him, and the identity of a divine envoy. There are so many benefits that I can't get even if I sell it! I really don't understand why this woman is so nice to me!"

"Haha, my dear, could it be her who fell in love with you?" Vivian immediately said with a funny look.

"Tsk, if I was as good as Alsace, I might be attracted to the country and the people, but look at my image, do you seem to be a woman who likes to pay for it?" Lao Xie curled his lips disdainfully.

"Why don't you look like it? Your current women cover almost all the top beauties in the mainland, and they almost all pay for it!" Vivian teased.

"Nonsense!" Lao Xie immediately said disdainfully: "Constantine was snatched from the elves. I won the bet. Catherine was forced to me by the queen. Juliet planned to pay it. Unfortunately, that idiot didn't recognize the way, so he made me go to the snow mountain by himself. Alas, in order to get you, I have almost traveled all over the continent and fight all the masters in the world. Is it easy for me?"

"Haha~" Constantine and Vivian couldn't help laughing together when they saw that the old evil was interesting.

Lao Xie also smiled happily for a while, then grabbed Vivian directly and hugged her in his arms. Then, while stroking her tender body, he said seriously: "Actually, no matter what the God of Huiyao plans me, the key is still to depend on strength. As long as I am strong enough, I can ignore her, but if I don't have enough strength, I'm afraid I can only be honest and obedient!"

"But she is a god? How could you be even better than her?" Constantine said worriedly.

"Gods are not unattainable!" Lao Xie said solemnly: "I have a premonition, I am afraid that I will enter that field sooner or later, deal with a group of gods, and even fight!"

"Ah, no!" Constantine said in surprise: "Your current strength seems to be far from the gods!"

"Yes! The gap between me and them is too big now, and everything I say is false!" Lao Xie nodded and said, "So I plan to go into seclusion for a while and practice the great law and prophecy! At the same time, I also need to further refine Tustaman to truly restore his previous strength."

"In retreat?" Constantine said in confusion, "What is this?"

Lao Xie then remembered that there was no such thing as retreat on this continent. So he immediately explained with a smile: "The so-called retreat means locking yourself in a strict place and doing nothing except practicing qigong! This way, you can concentrate on your practice to the greatest extent and achieve the best practice effect."

"So? Then how long do you have to go into seclusion?" Constany hurriedly said.

"I'm afraid it will take several years!" Lao Xie said.

"Ah, why did it take so long?" Constantine said in shock.

"There is no way. Neither Revelation nor Prophecy can be learned in a short while. I have accumulated too much understanding in the past and have not yet carefully understood it. This time I have gathered together. I am afraid that it would be good to be able to come out within ten years!" Lao Xie said with a wry smile.

"Are you going to leave us for so long?" Constany said reluctantly.

"What? Do you miss me?" Lao Xie smiled.

"Don't you miss me? You have no conscience!" Constantine said with a twist of Lao Xie.

"Of course I miss you, but there is nothing I can do. Without strength, I can only become a chess piece at the mercy of others. You don't want to see me become the target of others' random play, right?" Lao Xie said.

"Yeah!" Constantine nodded helplessly after hearing this and said, "Okay, let's wait for you!"

"But what if we can't wait?" Vivian suddenly said.

"Then you have to wait!" Lao Xie said solemnly: "You must remember that when you are in seclusion, you are strictly forbidden to disturb me. No matter how big the matter is happening outside, you cannot harass me. Otherwise, it may make me lose all my efforts! Even going astray!"

"What does it mean to be possessed by the devil?" Constantine said in confusion again.

"This is a devil, which means that the breath is disordered and scattered into the meridians. At the very least, the whole body is paralyzed, and at the worst, the death is lost on the spot. You must not take it lightly!" Lao Xie reminded!

"It's so serious? Then you can't stay in seclusion?" Constany immediately said nervously.

"No, retreat is for quick practice, it is actually very safe. It's just that being disturbed is more dangerous, but as long as you don't disturb me, it's okay!" Lao Xie explained hurriedly.

"That's it, okay!" Constany nodded helplessly, and then said, "By the way, why did you suddenly have so many new terms? You are in seclusion and infatuated. Where did you learn this from?"

"On some ancient book!" Lao Xie directly pushed it to the illusory ancient book. Then he was afraid that Constantine would continue to ask questions. He hurriedly said, "Okay, let's go to the Fearless Castle now. I want to build a retreat place there. You must protect me at that time!" As he said that, Lao Xie pulled the two girls to run towards the teleportation array.

The reason why Lao Xie was in seclusion in the Fearless Castle instead of choosing the Magic Tower is that although the Magic Tower seems safe, it is not reliable. After all, there is an old mage of research madman. As a grandmaster of alchemy, this guy often conducts extremely dangerous experiments. Explosions are almost common, and they are on average once or twice a month. However, Lao Xie is naturally most taboo to disturb when he is in seclusion. Even if he is not bombed by the explosion shock wave, the earth-shaking roar is easy to cause trouble!

Besides, there are still a few unstable factors around the old mage. Whether it is the Ice Dharma Saint or the Little Princess Lan Snow, they are all time bombs! Maybe when these two naughty greens go crazy, they will fight in the magic tower. Lao Xie clearly remembers that last time, more than a year ago, because Lao Xie defeated Lan Snow in the competition, the Ice Dharma Saint was furious and almost dismantled it. With this lesson in the past, why did Lao Xie dare to go into seclusion here? If an ice dragon suddenly hits the opposite side when he is in seclusion, he will be finished on the spot?

So Lao Xie simply left here and went into seclusion in the Fearless Castle. Although there were not so many magic traps and protective methods in the magic tower, there was a legendary master Heidi Shi who was in charge. Lao Xie specially found a strict place and asked his subordinates to build an extremely safe place. Heidi Shi also asked him to take action outside and set up some magic traps. Lao Xie himself also made several formations behind, so the protective methods were further strengthened.

In addition to these dead objects, Lao Xie also specially arranged his subordinates to stand guard for him 24 hours a day. Within a few hundred meters around the retreat room, it must be guaranteed to be absolutely quiet. Outside, there are military camps, giant-eyed giants, escorts of the Siren clan, and Heidi Shi all live here. Even if there are masters who cannot cope, the elves and a large number of strong men can use teleportation arrays to get them at any time. With such safe measures, I believe that this is probably the safest place in the continent.

Two months later, Lao Xie said goodbye to a beautiful woman, took Tustaman into the retreat room, and began his own self-study.

Lao Xie’s main purpose for this retreat was two. One was to further refine the second soul, Tustaman, so that it could reach a perfect fit, and fully exert Tustaman’s original strength. The second purpose was to practice the “Prophecy”.

In fact, there is no difficulty in refining Tustaman. Lao Xie first found a set of the best way to practice the second soul from his huge memory, and then according to what was said above, he began to combine his spiritual consciousness with Tustaman's body completely, but they became a whole, just like a person.

During the process of cultivation, as the two gradually combined, Lao Xie accidentally refined a strange power in Tustaman's body. Its nature is similar to Lao Xie's magic power, the magic power of the magician, and the warrior's fighting spirit is similar, but the level is very high, similar to the divine power of the God of Radiance. Of course, it is not that pure, but it is certain that it is a special power that only gods possess.

I think this was originally the divine power that belonged to Tustaman. However, after his soul was completely burned by the divine fire, the divine power lost its support and gradually dissipated. Therefore, Tustaman completely turned into a corpse and could only fight by physical instinct. There was actually no trace of energy in his body. After Lao Xie refined it into the second soul, it was equivalent to putting a soul into Tustaman's body. Although this soul changed, the divine power that this body had trained before gradually recovered.

As soon as he shines, Lao Xie's second soul not only has the body of a god, but also has the terrifying divine power of a god. However, despite this, Lao Xie still cannot fully exert Tustaman's previous combat power, because after all, he can use great prophecy and know how to use divine power, but Lao Xie does not.

Therefore, in order to fully exert Tustaman's power and greatly increase his strength, Lao Xie had to devote all his energy to comprehending the "Prophecy". Of course, the great prophecy is not so easy to practice. The complexity of this thing is at least ten times that of the Great Law. Although Lao Xie has already understood the laws of space, it is still difficult to comprehend.
