Chapter 2399: What about these?

"These requirements… are certainly harsh enough." Xiao Fan was left speechless after hearing this.

These requirements couldn't just be described as harsh; calling them bizarre would be more fitting.

First of all… the Magical Artifact had to be refined by oneself!

To refine a Magical Artifact that contains an artifact spirit, what level of Artifact Refiner would that require?!

How troublesome would it be to satisfy this condition?!

Xiao Fan also understood a bit about Artifact Refining, and to reach the level the artifact spirit mentioned, one would absolutely have to be the cream of the crop among Artifact Refiners!

Secondly, it required the constant infusion of one's own Essence Blood and Origin Qi, which was also a very harsh condition.

Then there was the condition that the artifact spirit must be weak… and it had to agree!

With all these conditions combined, it was indeed very, very difficult…

"Exactly, which is why I am unprecedented and unrepeatable, contemplating the vastness of heaven and earth…"

"Shut up and keep going…" Xiao Fan didn't want to hear it bragging.

"Uh… alright, alright." The artifact spirit didn't dare to overstep, saying weakly, "After that, it was just like that. I drifted to the Nine Provinces, fell into a deep slumber, and then woke up to meet you."

"Then why didn't you tell me at the beginning?" Xiao Fan asked curiously.

"Uh… why would I tell you?" The artifact spirit said excitedly. "I originally thought you wouldn't live long, after all, you're so good at causing trouble, jumping around every day… You provoke a race at the drop of a hat and get hunted by groups of people. Yet, in such circumstances, you're still alive. I was stunned, do you know that?!"

Xiao Fan: "…"

"If you want to praise me, then do it properly, alright?!" Xiao Fan gritted his teeth.

"Uh… I got carried away, I got carried away." The artifact spirit's tone immediately softened again.

But what it said was the truth, and it was from the heart. Looking back, how fierce was Xiao Fan back then?

Being hunted by all the races in Tianshen Prefecture, and somehow becoming the Human Emperor for no apparent reason…

Becoming the Human Emperor in such a situation was certainly not a good thing; it was a death warrant. Who would submit to him?

Yet, this guy fought his way out, completely unscathed, and even walked out of the Slave Realm!

This was also one of the reasons why the artifact spirit chose to self-destruct back then; it was moved by Xiao Fan's courage and wanted to do something big with him!

"Back then, you were too weak in the Nine Provinces, and knowing about my affairs would have been useless, so I didn't say anything. I was too lazy to explain, lest you find out… and perhaps start asking this and that, wanting me to teach you this or that. It's annoying…" The artifact spirit revealed the true reason.

"… Do I really need you to teach me?!" Xiao Fan's face darkened.

"Uh… indeed you don't. I've also noticed that you are incredibly weird. All your Cultivation Techniques are top-tier, some I haven't even seen before, you even have the Phoenix Method… I'm truly curious, what exactly is the supreme treasure on you? Big brother, take it out and let me see!"

Xiao Fan: "…"

He realized that, in reality, this bastard artifact spirit knew all his secrets!

It was just that when he entered the star chart, the artifact spirit couldn't follow.

After all this, if this guy really fell into someone else's hands, it could truly leak quite a few of his secrets!

Xiao Fan originally thought he was cautious enough, yet he was still… sigh… by this artifact spirit.

"Forget it, whether you show me or not doesn't matter anymore… Anyway, I'm in this state, knowing those things is useless," the artifact spirit said helplessly.

"Tell me about it… what was that about you devouring that artifact spirit just now? And you said you were an Innate artifact spirit, but you also underwent Possession later. Is there a big difference?" Xiao Fan asked.

He now knew the true Origins of the artifact spirit, so there was no need to dwell on other matters. It was better to satisfy his curiosity first.

"Uh… I possessed it, so I am it. Naturally, I am the Innate artifact spirit," the artifact spirit said proudly. "Moreover, I am knowledgeable and experienced, and I can perform Artifact Refining. No one understands Magical Artifacts better than me…"

"As for devouring the artifact spirit of that saint-grade artifact, that was just to make myself stronger."

"Devouring is one of my abilities. Before, the material of Heavens Punishment and Earths Destruction was too poor, so it could only engrave attack runes at most… When you used the Heavens Punishment and Earths Destruction Slash, it was actually devouring your spiritual energy to enhance the attack… Have you forgotten?" the artifact spirit reminded him.

"Now that you mention it, it seems so." Xiao Fan nodded.

Back then, using the Heavens Punishment and Earths Destruction Slash in combination with the Spirit-Devouring Moon Slash did indeed produce very powerful attacks, but the consumption of spiritual energy was also truly immense.

"Yes, my ability is devouring, so naturally I can also devour artifact spirits to restore myself and become stronger…" the artifact spirit explained. If it devoured enough artifact spirits, its power would become even greater.

It could even reach the point where it wouldn't need a container and could fight as an artifact spirit alone!

"That strong?" Xiao Fan asked, puzzled.

"Of course, the more artifact spirits I devour, the stronger this Magical Artifact that I am currently occupying will become!" the artifact spirit said proudly, but then sighed. "It's just a pity that there are too few Magical Artifacts that contain artifact spirits. Who knows how long I'll have to wait to devour more."

Artifact spirits were rare; he knew this better than anyone.

Even artifact spirits that were refined into existence were extremely rare.

"Uh… what about these?" Xiao Fan thought for a moment and took out the other three saint-grade artifacts he had on him, asking.
