CHAPTER 261: CHAPTER 138: MYSTERIOUS CONTAINER_2

Who knows what will happen if this thing gets smashed and the light inside leaks out.

"This won’t work, and those wooden planks need to be taken back as well." After some thought, Li Xiu took out two rings and tossed them to Chu Jun.

"Are these Demon Spirit Rings of the Death Contract? Where did you get them from?" Chu Jun caught the rings and quickly asked.

"Picked them up from the enemy. I originally planned to find a chance to sell them, but you use them first. Just don’t use them in front of others. These are linked to the Longevity Heaven, and using them carelessly might bring trouble if spotted by people from Longevity Heaven," Li Xiu explained.

Chu Jun nodded and didn’t say anything further. Had it been before, he would have pressed for more details. Now, his trust in Li Xiu didn’t require asking so much. He knew Li Xiu wasn’t the type to kill and pillage for personal gain.

After using the two Demon Spirit Rings, Chu Jun discovered one was a B-grade Magma Stone Man and the other a C-grade Demon Snake Person. The Magma Stone Man was a Radiant Demon Spirit, and the Demon Snake Person was a Shining Demon Spirit.

The two of them loaded some of the wooden planks onto the backs of the Masked Emperor and the Pink Nightmare, while Chu Jun and his own spirit carried the remaining planks.

Li Xiu had the Jedi Knight, Demigod Shana, and his Black Death Demon lift the container together.

As for the Love God Shooter and White Night Female Demon, Li Xiu didn’t bother to summon them. Their E-grade strength was quite limited and wouldn’t be of much help.

"Can we lift it like this? Should we give up on some of the planks?" Chu Jun knew very well that these spirits couldn’t possibly lift that container.

"With my added strength, it should work. You head back first, clear the area in front of the Trial Gate, and don’t let anyone see this." Li Xiu walked to the side of the container, grabbed the semicircular handle, and tried applying force.

"Okay." Chu Jun didn’t waste any words, carrying the planks and blew out the Longevity Lamp beside him.

In an instant, Chu Jun and his demon spirits vanished, leaving only Li Xiu and his spirits in the city.

After waiting for a while to ensure Chu Jun had enough time to clear the area, Li Xiu took a deep breath, his body emitting a faint white light, with a hint of blood red in it.

This was Light Energy from the Forbidden Spear of the Symbiotic Contract. With the augmentation of the Forbidden Spear’s Light Energy, Li Xiu’s strength surged.

That’s the advantage of the Symbiotic Contract, being able to share Light Energy with the master.

Before using the Forbidden Spear’s Light Energy, Li Xiu’s Primordial Embryo Quality was 1.2, with no boost other than skills.

With the Forbidden Spear’s Light Energy, it’s as if Li Xiu had the enhancement of a Glorious Quality, making his strength far surpass the usual.

This is also why Demigod Shana could contend with advanced demon spirits, relying on high-quality Light Energy augmentation.

Li Xiu lifted one side himself, while Demigod Shana and the Jedi Knight lifted the other side, with the Black Death Demon supporting the crystal.

The Skill Brands on his fingers appeared, emitting various strange Light Patterns, and together with his spirits, Li Xiu exerted force but still couldn’t lift the container.

The light on Li Xiu’s body changed again, with blue light emerging along with the red within the white light, derived from the shared Light Energy of the Evil Spirit Token.

This was equivalent to having two kinds of Glorious Quality Light Energy augmenting Li Xiu at the same time, making his strength no weaker than Demigod Shana’s now.

Though Demigod Shana was already D-grade, with various skills and two kinds of Glorious Quality Light Energy augmentations, Li Xiu was no weaker than him, which is quite terrifying.

The container shook incessantly, seemingly about to leave the ground, but it was just a tiny bit short of lifting off.

A flash of light appeared in Li Xiu’s eyes, the Ultimate Light activated, and his entire body became nearly transparent, unleashing terrifying power to alone lift his end of the container.

Demigod Shana, the Jedi Knight, and the Black Death Demon also poured their strength into it, and together they lifted the container.

The moment the container left the ground, Li Xiu blew out the Longevity Lamp. He felt a momentary darkness before finding himself outside the Trial Gate.

Bang!

The container landed heavily on the ground, embedding a small section into the ground, causing the surrounding stone pavement to crack like a spider web.

The light surrounding Li Xiu had dissipated. He surveyed the surroundings and, seeing that aside from Chu Jun, there was no one else in the courtyard where the Trial Gate was located, he let out a slight sigh of relief.

Chu Jun, who had somehow acquired a large thick piece of canvas, directly covered the container with it to prevent the bright light inside the container from attracting the attention of outsiders.

"What should we do now?" Chu Jun looked at Li Xiu and asked.

"Go and find Old Guanyu, have him take a look at what this thing is." Exhausted, Li Xiu found a chair and sat down.

By simultaneously using numerous skills like Frenzy, Super Exciting, and Boiling Blood to stimulate his body and unleash potential, the burden on his body was considerable, making his muscles ache all over.

Chu Jun responded, quickly fetching Ximen Guan over.

"What do you want? I told you, my experiment is at a critical point; I can’t leave right now. Why insist on dragging me here? Can’t it wait a bit?" Ximen Guan complained incessantly as Chu Jun hauled him over.

"Old Guanyu, have a look at what this stuff is," Li Xiu pointed at the pile of wooden planks and said to Ximen Guan.
