Dream Prisoner, Chapter 230 Purifying Soul Stone
"Xi Meng, with your relationship with the prince, do you really feel nothing at all?" Xiaopu asked.
I shook my head, "Indeed, the aura of Silvermoon feels very familiar."
"That's true. I also think he resembles the prince too much, which is why I overlooked the question that the sun mentioned," Xiaopu said.
"Sun, are you sure he is not Prince Silvermoon?" My feelings were somewhat complicated now.
"I can't be certain. But one thing is clear: whether he is Prince Silvermoon or not, the timing, location, and current state of his appearance are all too coincidental. All the clues point to one person."
"Siyimo." I snorted coldly.
"Exactly, it’s the prince she imprisoned. Now the prince appears here again; isn't that strange?"
"She must be plotting some kind of scheme."
I felt that Siyimo wouldn't calmly watch us take an interest in her in the underworld without any reaction.
If this person before me is truly Silvermoon, what should I do?
It would be best not to use Silvermoon to deceive me.
"If this really has to do with Siyimo, then the Ghostly Figure we just saw must be related to her. For now, we should avoid acting alone. Sun, you stay with Xiaopu; I will go find Chiba and quickly locate the last Life Stone's owner."
"Alright, you need to be careful."
"Xi Meng, regardless of whether this person is the prince or not, it shouldn't affect your heart. Do you know what we are doing right now?"
"Mm."
...
Once again, we arrived at the Duel Arena. The Fighting Spirit had already concluded. As he mentioned, he directly conceded in the final match, so we both smoothly entered the second layer of the Demon Realm.
"Hey, Xi Meng. Don't you think it's a pity that you didn't see my Fighting Spirit?" Stone Stump started talking non-stop about his experience with the Fighting Spirit since he encountered me. I was hardly in the mood to listen.
I waved away his chubby hands that were flailing in front of me and impatiently said, "Don't get too excited. First, think about whether you can win in the second layer."
"Hehehe, I have my ways." Stone Stump suddenly grinned mischievously at me.
"What ways?"
"Actually, as long as you can get out, I will be fine."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I can transform into stone and attach myself to any weapon or ornament on you."
"...You were planning this from the start, weren't you?" I frowned and asked ominously.
"This, this is it. I really had no choice but to resort to this."
"Hah, how can you be so sure that I will take you out? On what basis?"
"Let's gamble a bit. I just feel that you are different from others." Stone Stump placed his hands behind his head, lying back casually and squinting his eyes.
"What makes me different?"
"There is still warmth in your eyes, and love in your heart."
I immediately felt a bit embarrassed and averted my gaze awkwardly. To be honest, I didn't even know myself. The experiences I've gone through during this time have made me more rational, but also much colder. The previous Xi Meng would never have been so resolute in killing those people.
"No, the current me only lives for responsibility." I stood up, not wanting to say more.
"This is growth; you've grown up, kid." Stone Stump left this remark and closed his eyes to begin meditating.
Growth, huh...
There was still some time before Fighting Spirit. I glanced at Stone Stump and said softly, "I'm just going for a walk."
...
The number of people on the second floor was clearly half of that on the first floor, but strangely, they seemed to be searching for something.
"Bang, bang, bang..." The sound of constant knocking against the stone walls echoed around.
"Excuse me, what are you doing?" I asked the person closest to me.
The other party let out a low warning growl, glaring at me.
"Alright, I'll leave now."
I asked several people, and it was the same situation; no one said a word to me.
I wandered around aimlessly, occasionally tapping on the stone wall with my hand, trying to see if there was really something here.
There was no difference; the sound of my tapping was just like that of an ordinary stone wall, producing a dull and heavy "thud." Yet everywhere I looked, there were people maintaining this action, all serious and alert to their surroundings.
"Thud, thud—"
I paused my hand; this sound seemed a bit different, it sounded so light and cheerful.
"Thud, thud, thud." I tapped again.
Yes, it was definitely different!
But at that moment, I felt countless hot and greedy gazes gathering around me, making me feel uncomfortable all over.
I withdrew my hand and looked at the wall of people slowly closing in around me. I asked, "What’s inside here?"
Instantly, those people stopped looking at me with fierce eyes and instead bared their teeth at those around them.
"Get out of the way if you don't want to die." A voice came from the wall of people.
"Xi Meng, get away from there!" It was Stone Stump.
I had no attachment and swiftly turned to retreat.
In the blink of an eye, the spot I had just occupied was crowded with people, and the area was suddenly filled with screams of biting and fighting.
"What are they doing?" I asked, sweating.
"I really don't know what kind of luck you have," Stone Stump said with a sour tone.
Stone Stump's gaze swept over the wall of people, fixating on the stone wall I had struck, and then there was a loud "bang."
Then that wall actually cracked open, and a piece of stone glowing green flew out from inside.
The stone shot straight towards Stone Stump. He quickly wrapped it in one hand and grabbed me with the other, shouting, "Run!"
Without thinking much, I followed Stone Stump as we began to sprint, with the group behind us closing in fast!
Just as we were about to be surrounded, there seemed to be no escape. Stone Stump suddenly stopped and coldly snorted at the group behind us, "You all better watch closely!"
With that, he swallowed the glowing stone whole!
Immediately, there were cries of despair as the group angrily cursed and scattered, continuing to strike at the stone wall...
"What is that?" I asked.
Stone Stump didn't respond, pulling me to a secluded spot and whispering, "This is no ordinary stone."
Saying this, he spat out the stone from his mouth.
"That's disgusting," I said, turning my head away in disdain.
"Children just lack experience. This is a treasure known as the little gem of the Demon Realm!"
"What little gem?" I inquired.
I had heard rumors about treasures but had never heard of any little gems.
"Since you found it, I naturally won't keep it all to myself... Alas, there may not be anyone as righteous as me in the entire Lost City of Lothar!" Stone Stump sighed dramatically, extending his hand toward me.
I took the stone from Stone Stump's hand and felt that aside from its glow, it didn't seem particularly special.
"Just eat it," Stone Stump urged.
"Huh?!"
"This is a rare treasure; I guarantee you won't regret it."
"That's too disgusting; it just came out of your mouth."
"I am originally a stone, what is there to look down upon?" Stone Stump said with a pout.
Seeing Stone Stump's jealous expression, it was clear how precious this little stone was, considering so many people were fighting over it.
I closed my eyes and placed it in my mouth, swallowing it immediately.
Wow, what a strange feeling! A wave of coolness spread throughout my body, sweeping away all fatigue, bringing an unprecedented sense of comfort. Even my Soul Energy felt fuller!
"How does it feel? Pretty good, right?!" Stone Stump asked enviously.
"Yes, it's so comfortable."
"This stone is the legendary Purifying Soul Stone. Only by obtaining it can you have a chance to cultivate treasures from the Demon Realm."
"So this stone is like a pass?"
"You could say that. The power of the Guardian of the Lost City of Lothar is extremely peculiar, and the treasures left behind are not something anyone can obtain. Even if you get the treasure, without the Purifying Soul Stone to purify your body, it would be useless. Both are indispensable, and what's more difficult is that the existence of both is not something that can be described as rare."
"No wonder those people are so desperate."
"That's why as soon as I sensed you were so close to this stone, I rushed to find you. Otherwise, you would have been torn apart by those people!"
Hearing this, I suddenly thought of something and looked at Stone Stump excitedly. "You mean, as long as there is a stone present, you can see what’s happening there?!"
"Basically, yes, except in special circumstances."
"Then help me find if my companions are in this Demon Realm! We came to the Demon Realm together as a trio."
"I'm sorry, but that's not possible," Stone Stump said awkwardly.
"Why not?!"
"There are too many barriers set up within the Demon Realm. I can only sense you because you're relatively close."
"I see, that explains why I couldn't sense Chiba," I sighed in relief; perhaps the situation wasn't as dire as I thought.
"However, Xi Meng, there's one thing I need to remind you," Stone Stump said hesitantly, as if he had been thinking for a long time.
"Yes, go ahead."
"The person next to you... he's very dangerous."
I was taken aback. "Who?"
"The man you encountered when you first entered the Demon Realm."
"You mean—Yin Yue?!"
"That's right. He arrived in the Demon Realm just a day before you. Although I didn't see him at that time, the stones here suddenly began to move. I sensed that it was caused by a dark force, and now I can confirm that it originates from the man beside you."
"There's nothing strange about him; Yin Yue himself is formed from a fragment of Dark Stone," I explained.
"No, the Dark Stone's Dark Aura is extremely dense. At that time, the pure dark energy was enough to cover the light. But that man not only has dark energy, he also carries a hint of evil energy."
"What kind of evil energy?!" I exclaimed.
The Sun had also mentioned that there was something strange about Silver Moon, and now Stone Stump was saying the same thing. I felt a bit at a loss.
"It's unfamiliar. I've never encountered a similar aura before. It feels like it's... confusing people's hearts."
Indeed, there is only one race that can produce such a strong sense of confusion!
"It's Evil Energy," I whispered.
Siyimo, you have made a good move this time.
"Are you saying it's the Demon Race?!" Stone Stump and Great Terror said, their eyes widening in shock.
"That's right. The Demon Race must have awakened. At least their emperor has been resurrected..."
"Oh my god, are you saying that the legendary race has really come into the world?!"
"Very soon, the three realms will be thrown into chaos."
