"Besides, if I kill you, I can still get this map. If you can't give me something that moves me, then you die." Huang Yu didn't want to waste more words. If it was just this, it would be meaningless.
"A secret, a secret about the Great General's tomb."
"Speak."
"Swear that you will let me go."
"Do you have a choice? Do you have the qualifications to negotiate?" Huang Yu sneered.
"Kill me then, if you kill me, you get nothing."
"Such arrogance." Huang Yu was also somewhat angry. This guy was stubborn and seemed fearless, which greatly annoyed Huang Yu.
Just as he was about to make a move, he heard Lulu's voice.
"Master, don't kill him yet."
"Why?" Huang Yu was puzzled. Could this guy really know something?
"He has the bloodline of General Sima Wuwei." Lulu said.
"The bloodline of the Great General?" Huang Yu was taken aback, "Lulu, are you saying this guy is a descendant of the Great General?"
"Yes, Master."
"Descendant of the Great General, if he is a descendant of the Great General, how did he end up like this?" Huang Yu frowned.
"Because he is a descendant of the Great General, that's why he ended up like this."
"What do you mean?" Huang Yu was taken aback.
"The Great General had many enemies. While he was alive, he could intimidate them, but once he died, he couldn't intimidate them anymore, and the Great General's clan was ruthlessly oppressed." Lulu explained.
"Even if he is a descendant of the Great General, what does that have to do with me? Can I get something from him?" Huang Yu said to Lulu, "If he really had something good, he wouldn't be in this state."
Huang Yu could see that this person had ambition, cunning, and potential. If he had enough resources, he definitely wouldn't be in his current state. Now, he was only at the Human Infant stage, and he looked quite old. If he had been cultivated, he would definitely be more than this.
"He has the key to enter the true tomb of the Great General. Only by obtaining that item can one enter the main hall of the Great General's tomb." Lulu said.
"The key to enter the main hall of the Great General's tomb?"
"Yes."
"Can't I get it by killing him?" Huang Yu was taken aback.
"No, that won't work." Lulu shook her head, "This item is useless in anyone else's hands. It only works for someone with the bloodline of the Great General. In anyone else's hands, it's just a piece of junk."
"What is it?"
"The soul imprint left by General Sima Wuwei when he died."
"Soul imprint? What is that?" This was very unfamiliar to Huang Yu. What did a soul imprint represent? What was its use? Huang Yu knew nothing about it.
"A soul imprint is a soul mark condensed by a Life and Death Realm expert when they die."
"What is its use?" It sounded mysterious. A mark condensed from soul power, Huang Yu frowned slightly. Moreover, it could only be condensed by someone at the Life and Death Realm. What was the point? Inheritance? If it was inheritance, that made sense.
"The soul imprint is extremely useful. Most obviously, it is equivalent to a high-grade Earth-grade artifact."
"Whoa..." Huang Yu drew a sharp breath. An Earth-grade artifact, a high-grade Earth-grade artifact, how terrifying would its power be? His Purple Extreme Sword was only a low-grade Earth-grade artifact, and its power was already terrifying. If he had a high-grade or even a supreme-grade Earth-grade artifact, its power would be even more terrifying.
If he had a supreme-grade Earth-grade artifact, killing a Thunder Tribulation Realm warrior wouldn't be difficult. This showed how terrifying Earth-grade artifacts were.
"The soul imprint not only targets the physical body in attack, but more importantly, it targets the soul. It can summon the true spirit of the deceased to fight, and its strength is not inferior to that of a Life and Death Realm expert. However, it can only be used three times in a lifetime, and after three uses, it must be replenished with sufficient soul power." Lulu explained.
Huang Yu was even more shocked when he heard this. It could be replenished?
This meant that the soul imprint was not like a true spirit talisman, which was a three-use item, but could be used multiple times, as long as it was replenished after being exhausted.
"So powerful? Then... why is this guy so weak?" Huang Yu felt very strange. If this guy had such an extraordinary treasure, why was he so weak? He could have used the soul imprint to carve out a territory and wouldn't be so easily dominated.
"Ha ha." Lulu shook her head and smiled, "Not everyone knows the use and method of the soul imprint."
"What do you mean?" Huang Yu asked, "Are you saying this guy doesn't know he has a soul imprint, or he doesn't know how to use it?"
"Exactly." Lulu nodded.
"Hmm..." Huang Yu took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes. A soul imprint, that's a good thing, but unfortunately, it requires bloodline power to use, which makes it a useless item for him, a chicken rib, something that is neither useful nor worth discarding.
A good thing, but even if he got it, it would be useless to him.
"Lulu, is there any way for me to use that soul imprint?" Huang Yu thought for a moment and looked at Lulu.
"Currently, there is no way, unless the master is willing to change blood." Lulu said.
"Then forget it." Huang Yu shook his head quickly. Changing blood? That's not worth it. His blood is good, why change it? And who knows if there would be any side effects after changing blood? Thinking of this, Huang Yu felt annoyed.
Having a good thing but not being able to use it made Huang Yu even more depressed.
"What a pity, what a pity." Huang Yu sighed repeatedly in his heart.
"Master, don't be discouraged. If the master can find a woman with the bloodline of Sima Wuwei, and obtain her true heart, and cultivate together with her, then it would be different. The master can use the secret cultivation method to obtain her bloodline power, and then the master can use the soul imprint of the Great General." Lulu said.
Lulu's words made Huang Yu's eyes light up. If it really could be done, that would be great.
But how many descendants of the Great General are left? Is there even a woman with the bloodline of the Great General?
And even if there is, if she is too ugly, he wouldn't be interested.
"Still, forget it." Huang Yu finally shook his head, "This thing is destined not to be mine. Besides, I have Lulu, who is better than many Earth-grade or even Heaven-grade artifacts. I believe that in the near future, I can create my own Earth-grade or even Heaven-grade artifacts. The best weapon is the one that fits you, the one you create yourself."
Lulu's eyes sparkled.
"Master, it's great that you understand this. Indeed, no matter what weapon, even a Heaven-grade or even a higher-grade artifact, is not as good as the one you create yourself, the most powerful weapon is not the one with the highest grade, but the one that fits you best." Lulu said, "This is why a person would rather protect their own life-bound weapon than exchange it for an Earth-grade artifact."
Huang Yu knew about life-bound weapons, and their power was indeed terrifying.
If it was a supreme-grade human-grade life-bound weapon, it was no weaker than an Earth-grade artifact.
Some were even more powerful than Earth-grade artifacts, which was the reason.
"But, it's a pity to give up that soul imprint."
"Lulu, do you have a way?"
Even if it was said like this, who wouldn't want to have a high-grade Earth-grade artifact?
Especially not an ordinary Earth-grade artifact, but a soul imprint, which was much more powerful than an ordinary Earth-grade artifact.
"Currently, there is no way, but just because there is no way now doesn't mean there won't be a way in the future." Lulu smiled, "When the master's strength improves and the system upgrades, there will definitely be a way to remove this restriction."
"I hope so." Huang Yu nodded.
"Alright, Master, let's get the soul imprint first. Of course, if the master wants to visit the Great General's tomb, it will depend on this guy." Lulu said, "What to do now is up to the master."
Huang Yu thought for a moment. The Great General's tomb, there must be many good things inside. The Great General Sima Wuwei was a hero of great valor and extraordinary strength. As a Life and Death Realm expert, his tomb must contain many extraordinary treasures, and there might even be a Heaven-grade artifact.
According to rumors, the Great General's weapon, the Ten Thousand Tigers Saber, was a low-grade Heaven-grade artifact.
Moreover, after the Great General's death, the Ten Thousand Tigers Saber was left in the Great General's tomb, buried with him.
Not to mention the Ten Thousand Tigers Saber, there must be many other things.
For Huang Yu, the most lacking thing was spirit stones, of course, except for experience points.
"Slap..."
Huang Yu's long sword moved, but he didn't kill him. Instead, he struck his face with the flat of the sword.
A bright red mark immediately appeared on his right cheek.
"You... why didn't you kill me?" Looking at Huang Yu, Sima Xie was angry, but there was also a hint of joy. Since Huang Yu didn't kill him, it meant he still had a chance, a chance to live.
No one wants to die. Life is precious and worth cherishing.
Besides, he still had a great vengeance to avenge.
"I changed my mind." Huang Yu's tone was very calm, and his face showed no expression, "I can swear not to kill you, but I need something, and you have to help me with something."
"What thing? What do you want me to do?" Sima Xie looked at Huang Yu. A thing, for him, was nothing. The map was the most precious thing he had. If he gave him the map, what else couldn't he give him? As for helping him with something? Even ten things wouldn't matter, as long as he didn't lose his life.
