Zero Soul Master

Chapter 3 Relic Summoning

The rise of a family is bound to involve many secrets.

"Back then, the ancestor of the Xiao family was a genius, and he created the entire Xiao family. But many people only know that the ancestor of the Xiao family is a genius who has not been born for a thousand years, but no one has ever known the reason why the ancestor of the Xiao family really reached that height."

"Is it related to here?"

Listening to what Xiao Guofeng said, Xiao Bailian looked at the white jade sarcophagi in front of him.These sarcophagi exude a layer of faint fluorescence, which looks extraordinarily hazy and beautiful in this slightly dim underground hall.

At first I thought it was something precious, but I didn't expect that when Xiao Guofeng opened a white jade sarcophagus, what he saw was a pile of tatters covered with dust and even rust.

The huge gap between front and back made Xiao Bailian unable to react immediately.After all, he was too much looking forward to it before. You must know that he has also studied the 300-year history of the Xiao family in the past few days. He admires the ancestor of the Xiao family who resounded throughout the continent back then!
When I heard that the secret of the rise of the ancestors of the Xiao family was preserved here, I was extremely looking forward to it.

According to his thinking, maybe those white jade sarcophagi contained some magical weapons, or peerless elixir, or some cultivation cheats to improve the summoner's level!
But no matter what, he never expected that when the white jade sarcophagus was opened, what he saw was a pile of tatters.

Xiao Guofeng didn't scold Xiao Bailian for his words, but had a strange smile on his face, as if he was reminiscing.Then he repeatedly opened the remaining white jade sarcophagi, there are 72 in total, each white jade sarcophagus is different in size, and each of them contains an object that is regarded as 'broken' in Xiao Bailian's eyes.

"What the hell are these?"

Xiao Bailian is not a fool, and he doesn't believe that Xiao Guofeng will find trouble to make fun of him.

This place is obviously an important place for the Xiao family. Although the journey went very smoothly, he has a feeling that if someone wants to break into this place, they will definitely encounter very terrible consequences.

And these white jade sarcophagi, the material of the sarcophagus alone, and those white jade, are sky-high prices outside!He couldn't believe it, the things stored in these priceless white jade sarcophagi, placed in such an important and secret place, would be a pile of useless junk.

"Let me ask you first, why does a summoner summon his own summoning partner?"

Xiao Guofeng didn't answer right away, but suddenly asked a common-sense question that even three-year-old children in the Imaginary Soul Continent knew.

"By consuming the soul power in the body, through a special summoning magic circle, according to the level of his own soul power, the summoner randomly performs a different-dimensional space link, and then makes a contract with an object in the different-dimensional space, at the cost of consuming his own soul power. The other party summoned to our world from a different dimension, and finally the contract was established, as long as the other party's approval is obtained, he will become the summoner's summoning partner."

Xiao Bailian's answer was very well-behaved, very perfect, almost like a textbook answer.This is what he learned from frantically flipping through those books these days.

"Yes, the answer is very good. It seems that these few days you have not just read the book casually, but have really devoted yourself to it."

Xiao Guofeng nodded slightly, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.As a father, he still feels very gratified to see his youngest son, who had been ignorant and ignorant before, like this.

But at the next moment, he changed the subject, "Then let me ask you, the summoner's summoning is made randomly, and he doesn't know what kind of object he is summoning before he succeeds. If it is not what he needs, then he should how?"

Xiao Bailian heard this, without hesitation, and continued to answer, "That can only cancel the summoning, but the consumed soul power cannot be returned. So generally speaking, any summoner will be very cautious before summoning, and will do it Good enough preparation. Although the summoning itself is random, with the development of thousands of years, some patterns can be found to some extent. Although it cannot be too accurate, it can at least be narrowed to an acceptable range. For example, a summoner wants to summon Beast type, then he can go through a lot of preparations, so that during the entire summoning process, there is a certain chance that he will be connected with animal creatures in different dimensions."

"Of course, this kind of success is not [-]% successful, there is a certain failure rate. In addition, whether the summoned creatures meet your requirements, you can't force it, but it depends on the level of the summoner's own soul power."

"Yes, the summoner himself, to put it bluntly, is a kind of gambler! The summoner has no way of knowing whether he can obtain the requirements and results he needs after paying a huge price. So generally speaking, the summoner's life Among them, they will be very cautious to reach a long-term summoning contract with a relatively satisfactory summoned creature. After all, no one knows whether the next summoning will be better than the previous one."

Xiao Bailian nodded, he also understood this point.gambler?A very appropriate analogy, it can be said that in the entire Phantom Soul Continent, even those Sky Rank Summoners who are high above and standing at the pinnacle of the continent, even they are not sure that they can summon satisfactory and powerful summoned creatures every time.

Of course, the higher the level of the summoner, the higher the level of soul power, and the higher the level of the creatures in the different-dimensional space connected when summoning, this is also inevitable.

But everyone has grown up from the lowest first-rank summoner, even those heaven-rank summoners have also experienced the process of being weak.Does everyone have to wait until they become a high-level summoner before summoning?

Obviously not possible!
"Gambler, the description is really wonderful. This kind of random summoning is like placing a bet. It would be great if you could know what you are summoning in advance."

Xiao Bailian shook his head. After all, the soul power in a summoner's body is limited. Although there are ways to replenish it, each of them is very harsh. Once the soul power is exhausted, it is impossible to maintain the contract with the summoned creature. , Even the Summoner himself will be life-threatening!
In fact, Xiao Bailian has been thinking, is the so-called soul power the power of a person's soul?Unfortunately, there is no relevant research on this continent.

But if it is really the power of the soul, then you really must be cautious!
"Yes, if the target of the summoning can be determined before the summoning, it is a dream for a summoner. Not to mention low-level summoners, even those high-level summoners cannot resist this A temptation!"

Xiao Guofeng looked at Xiao Bailian's eyes with more and more satisfaction. Originally, there was still a trace of dubiousness in his heart. Even though Xiao Bailian's actions in the past few days made him see hope, but as the saying goes, nature is hard to change. I believe that a person's personality will change so quickly.

But now, he found that his son, who was very impetuous at first, had changed drastically. He became very calm and calm, and even thought deeply about certain issues.

How would he know that the second young master of the Xiao family in front of him, apart from being physically a member of the Xiao family, his soul has long been replaced by someone else.

"Father, bring me here." Xiao Bailian was not stupid. He turned his head and glanced at the vast underground space, as well as the magic circles on the ground that seemed to be engraved with some kind of mysterious magic. There is some kind of conjecture.

His face changed slightly, and he asked in an uncertain tone, "Could it be that the ancestors of the Xiao family had a way to determine in advance which summoned creature they needed to summon? How is this possible?"

But combined with the scene seen here, Xiao Guofeng seemed to have a bit of a long-winded conversation just now, but he felt this way.

"That's right! You're right! The old ancestor did find a special method in an accidental encounter, which allows the summoner to activate the summoning magic and connect to a different dimension. Dimensional beings connect and then summon them into our world!"

This time Xiao Bailian was really shocked!

It's one thing to guess it yourself, and it's another thing to hear confirmation!

"Is this... is this really possible? This is crazy!"

You know, there are actually a lot of summoners in the Illusory Soul Continent, but most of them don't have good summoned creatures to help them.Except for a few summoners with great careers and strong backgrounds, who can keep replenishing their soul power to gamble again and again, more than [-]% of summoners don't know whether they can activate summoning magic ten times in their entire lives!

Suddenly, he seemed to understand why the ancestor of the Xiao family suddenly rose to the mainland in such a short period of time, and then created a huge Xiao family.

At the same time, I also understand why this place is guarded layer by layer, so secretive, even except for the current Patriarch and the confirmed next-generation Patriarch, the rest do not even know their relatives!
If the Xiao family really has such a method, once it is known, it will cause a bloodbath!
"The No. 19 descendants of the Xiao family, Xiao Bailian!"

Suddenly Xiao Guofeng's majestic voice sounded, and Xiao Bailian's expression froze. He knew that next, he would come into contact with the biggest secret of the entire Xiao family!

"Descendants of the Xiao family, Xiao Bailian! As the No. 18 head of the Xiao family, from today onwards, I order you to be the heir of the No. 19 head of the Xiao family. At the same time, I am entitled to know the biggest secret of the entire Xiao family!"

Xiao Bailian nodded slowly with a dignified expression, while Xiao Guofeng showed a slight smile.

"Okay, there are some things, if you don't understand anything, you can ask directly. By the way, I guess your biggest question now is the summoning method of your ancestors back then?"

Seeing Xiao Bailian nod his head, Xiao Guofeng pointed at the white jade sarcophagi.In those white jade sarcophagi, there are a lot of 'broken', all kinds of them, including rusty weapons, broken utensils, and even old clothes, and even some dry soil and as if Fossil-like stones.

"Those are not rags, but holy objects!"

"Holy object?" Xiao Bailian was puzzled.

"Yes, sacred objects! These things are directly or indirectly related to creatures in a different dimension! And it was precisely because of these things, combined with a set of summoning magic created by ourselves, that our ancestors were able to do all that !"
