Chapter 1016

Seeing this scene, Nage Lisi was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Anthony, and said: "He is lifting himself up by pulling his own hair."

Du Luo Ken was stunned, looking at Nage Lisi in confusion, clearly not understanding what he meant, but Anthony understood.

Back when they were in Iron Sand City, Nage Lisi had a conversation with Anthony, saying that a person couldn't fly to the sky by stepping on their left foot with their right foot. At that time, Anthony flew up by stepping on his left foot with his right foot.

Nage Lisi was angry and said again that a person couldn't lift themselves up by pulling their own hair. Anthony didn't fall for it, which made Nage Lisi so angry that he cursed him to have no paper when he pooped. From that day on, Anthony never needed paper when he pooped; it was either not brought or it fell on the ground and got wet.

With Nage Lisi saying this, Anthony immediately understood; that phantom in the distance was truly 'lifting himself up by pulling his own hair'.

They saw him reaching out to point forward, and in the direction he pointed, a black ball condensed, exactly the same as the black ball Ang had pinched out just now, producing a strong suction force, swallowing the surrounding light, and also sucking this phantom to move forward.

The phantom moved forward, the black ball also moved forward, continuing to suck him forward, thereby sucking him wherever he pointed.

This was truly lifting oneself up by pulling one's hair, completely different from the Death-Mourning Lord's void stepping, the White Dragon Transparent Dragon's dark element flapping, or Feiti's spatial compression traversal; it was a kind of ability that used the power of the abyss to suck oneself over.

No wonder he was called the Abyss Sage; this void creature actually mastered the power of the Abyss Origin.

"Sage? Undead Saint?" Nage Lisi was surprised.

Anthony shook his head: "No, his soul is in the stone slab. An undead creature whose body is a stone slab?"

Don't think this is anything strange; this kind of thing is too common. The core of an undead creature is the soul, and the body is just a vessel to contain the soul; even if there isn't one, it doesn't matter, such as undead, ghosts, wraiths...

Even if there can be no body, then all kinds of strange bodies are nothing to be surprised about.

Horse-shaped, cow-shaped, pillar-shaped are all considered normal. More strange ones, for example, a beast's shoulder blade happens to have a cavity, giving birth to a soul fire, so does this shoulder blade with a soul count as a skeleton?

A thigh bone happens to be buried together with a heart; after a long time, the two rot into a mass, and then a soul is born, does it count as a leg lich? Mass graves are particularly prone to producing this kind of stitched-monster-like lich.

If it happens that some bones are embedded in a stone slab and a soul is born, or a spirit body is attached to it, it is possible to have this situation where the soul is in the stone slab.

The Abyss Sage saw the situation here from afar, put away his finger, the black ball disappeared, and the stone slab slid forward with the help of inertia.

And his consciousness swept over everyone, finally landing on Deke, and he said in surprise: "It's you, little Deke. There was a fluctuation of abyss power just now. Did you comprehend the abyss power?"

Deke said: "It wasn't me. Wasn't it you? I also came out because I sensed the fluctuation of abyss power, and then I saw you."

Upon hearing this, the Abyss Sage's gaze returned to Ang and the others. After looking them over twice, he asked: "Who are these..."

"Oh, right, I was just about to introduce you. Merchant, merchant, didn't you always want to find a merchant to buy things? They are a caravan, and this is the merchant Silver Coin," Deke introduced hurriedly.

The Abyss Sage looked at these guys whose depth he couldn't see with suspicion: "Merchant? Hello, I am the Abyss Sage Kabu. Are you really merchants?"

"Pfft, you are called Kabu? I have seen Kabu Twelve and Kabu Twenty-one. What is your relationship with them?" Nage Lisi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Sage Kabu shook his head and said: "No relationship. It's just that there aren't many of us here who know how to name things. Those newly born souls will use my name plus a serial number as their own name, so there are many called Kabu, and many called Deke."

Upon hearing this, Anthony couldn't help but ask: "Since there is no relationship, how do they know if the serial number in front has been used by someone? What if two people are both called Kabu Twelve?"

"That won't happen. There is a nameless stone tablet in the city. Those who have no name and don't know how to name themselves go there to find one they like and add a serial number to use as their own name. There are tens of thousands of names on it, which were created by those souls who know how to name things. Deke and I are relatively famous, so there are many who share our names."

Sage Kabu explained while looking at Ang and his group. Judging by his expression, he seemed to have a lot to say, but he still politely answered Anthony's question first.

Anthony nodded thoughtfully: "Nameless stone tablet? It should be a 'No-Name Stone Tablet', right? If you don't have a name, you go there to find one. Do you have any other ways to pass on knowledge?"

"Ah? Other ways? Do you mean books? If you could sell some books here, that would be great," Sage Kabu said.

"Alright, no problem," Anthony said, of course, not about books, but about the Undead Holy Fire. However, looking at the other party's meaning, it was clear that there was no Undead Holy Fire here.

The Undead Holy Fire is a divine artifact for high-level undead creatures to pass on knowledge. As long as you put your consciousness into it, you can acquire knowledge. Want to learn magic? Learn magic. Want to learn Eagle language? Learn Eagle language. Want to learn mathematics? Learn mathematics. It's easy.

What's even more powerful is that you can also engrave your own knowledge and memories into it for everyone to share. The more people maintain the Undead Holy Fire, the more prosperous the Undead Holy Fire will be.

The Palace of Rest of course also had an Undead Holy Fire, but it wasn't prosperous because the number of high-level undead creatures was too small, and they didn't need the holy fire; everyone just touched their souls face-to-face.

Just like when Nage Lisi taught Ang Holy Light, he just poked him with his finger and he learned it.

However, in this world with hundreds of thousands of high-level undead creatures, the Undead Holy Fire would truly be a divine artifact. Hundreds of thousands of intelligent souls maintaining the Undead Holy Fire together—one can't even imagine how prosperous that holy fire could be.

After patiently answering a few questions, Sage Kabu finally couldn't help but ask: "What kind of goods have you brought? Can you let me see? I am in urgent need of some things."

Silver Coin immediately rubbed his palms and stepped forward: "I wonder what kind of goods Lord Kabu needs? I mainly brought some daily necessities here..."

"Soul stones, do you have any?"

"Soul stones? Are they soul crystals?"

"No." Sage Kabu described the soul stone.

Anthony whispered to Silver Coin: "Why does it sound like some kind of soul container?"

Silver Coin shook his head: "I don't have this, but don't worry. I am a merchant, and satisfying the customer's requirements is my mission. You can place an order with me, for example, how many of these soul stones do you want? Where are they? What is their function? My business network is very developed; I can ask someone to find them for you. Once found, you can pay, how about that?"

"Really?" Sage Kabu's spirits lifted, and he hurriedly placed an order with Silver Coin, stating the parameters and requirements in all aspects in great detail.

Even Nage Lisi couldn't bear to watch anymore: "The souls here are really simple. The parameters are stated in such detail; won't others know what you want to do?"

Anthony whispered: "What does he want to do?"

"Soul stones, didn't he say it? Remember the Void Ghost Haiden? He had soul stones. After Ang killed him, the soul stones he placed in the Starburst Array shattered. This is a thing that can sense the state of a soul. What does he want this thing for? To sense whose soul state?" Nage Lisi said.
