Chapter 483
"What is he saying?" Venerable Bamboo Sword asked.
"I don't understand." Wei Tianchen shook his head. The skeleton giant used True Spirit vibration to make sound, but even the knowledgeable Wei Tianchen had never heard this language.
"Capture him first and let Zhao Xing ask."
Venerable Bamboo Sword's three ribs turned into sword light, piercing into the skeleton giant's skull, with the sword tips aimed at the True Spirit spark, making him instantly afraid to move. Then he glanced at Zhao Xing: "You can ask now."
The skeleton giant's True Spirit spark jumped constantly: Heavens, I was already invincible in the Yanfang territory, how can there be someone even more terrifying than him...
Zhao Xing felt it was very strange when he heard the other party speak, because the language the other party spoke was not any language he knew in the Profound Yellow Realm. But it was somewhat similar to Dragon Language, only the other party's Dragon Language gave him a very clumsy feeling. Like an underdeveloped Dragon Language system.
Dragon Language was a spell, possessing a certain power that could break through certain Dao obstacles, but when the other party spoke, he was mobilizing his True Spirit spark and Bone Power.
Zhao Xing pondered for a moment, simulated the other party's True Spirit spark vibration frequency, and issued Dragon Language:
"Who are you? What place is this? Which province does it belong to? You have a human body, why do you speak Dragon Language?"
The other party was clearly stunned after hearing this. Zhao Xing thought he didn't understand, so he repeated it again.
When he said it the second time, both the rhythm and the mobilization of Bone Power were closer to the other party's mode.
"Junior 'Bai Junlan', this is Yanfang Territory. Yes, I am human, and of course, we speak Dragon Language."
Zhao Xing continued to ask: "Which province does Yanfang Territory belong to? Why should we speak Dragon Language?"
Bai Junlan was a bit confused; he seemed not to understand what Zhao Xing meant.
"Senior, Yanfang Territory belongs to a part of the Bone Yin Realm."
"We speak Dragon Language because only two types of true words can produce specific sounds. One is Dragon true words, and the other is Bone true words. Otherwise, we can only convey intent through fire sparks."
"Do you know who is currently wielding the Human Emperor Sword and the Book of Destiny in the Central Plains?"
"Senior, I don't understand." Bai Junlan indicated he didn't understand.
"You've at least heard of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, right?" Zhao Xing began to doubt life.
"No." Bai Junlan seemed to think very carefully: "I really haven't noticed, and neither has the Southern Continent."
Zhao Xing's inner confusion deepened. Bai Junlan was a Six-Tribulation True Spirit, so he couldn't be considered weak. He actually hadn't heard of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Is Senior talking about some mortal dynasty in the Yang Realm? Perhaps it's just that I haven't heard of it..." Bai Junlan answered cautiously.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Xing suddenly noticed that Bai Junlan's words were not right, "Yang Realm?"
"Isn't that what Senior was asking about?"
"Then what place is this?"
"This is of course the Bone Yin Realm."
"Yin Realm?!" Zhao Xing never expected that this was actually the underworld. Could it be that the location of the No-Tribulation Bone God Domain was in the underworld? Then wouldn't the three of them be dead? This didn't make sense.
Bai Junlan discovered that these three seemed to know nothing, like some reclusive old seniors who had suddenly arrived here, so he had to patiently explain from the beginning: "Three hundred and forty-two years ago, heaven and earth changed drastically. The southern part of the Profound Yellow Continent was shrouded by a polar moon. Everyone who saw the polar moon had their cultivation sucked away, and their flesh and blood ceased to exist."
"The light of the Yin Moon assimilated the Yin Earth. All living beings were affected, and even the Yin Realm responsible for the reincarnation of living beings in the Southern Continent was fused. From then on, the living beings of the Southern Continent no longer had reincarnation, and they were all in this skeletal appearance."
"And after death, they would at most become ghosts, and would not be further annihilated."
"So the place belonging to the Southern Continent of the Profound Yellow Continent is called the Bone Yin Realm."
"However, the memory I have preserved is limited. Perhaps it's just that I haven't heard of the Great Zhou Dynasty—"
Zhao Xing understood a part of it. The Yin Realm of the Profound Yellow Realm corresponded to the specific location of the Yang Realm. Now, this Yang Realm area of the Southern Continent had been refined and fused with the Yin Realm.
Bone God Yuan had created the No-Tribulation Bone God Domain for 342 years, but at this time, Bai Junlan seemed not to know of Yuan's existence, attributing this unknown cause to "heaven and earth changing drastically."
Assuming the Southern Continent was where the Southern Wilderness was located, where did the original Witch and Southern Wilderness sects go?
Taking advantage of Zhao Xing's thinking, Bai Junlan was cautious: "Did Senior just enter the Bone Yin Realm?"
"I was also originally a person from the Yang Realm. Perhaps my sect elders had dealings with Senior."
Zhao Xing came back to his senses and asked: "Which sect do you belong to?"
"Divine Fire Sect. Junior is the thirty-ninth generation elder of the sect."
"Never heard of it."
Bai Junlan was a bit embarrassed.
Zhao Xing continued to ask: "Listening to you, you came to the Bone Yin Realm voluntarily, and there are many people?"
"Yes." Bai Junlan nodded: "Although the entire Southern Continent has become the Bone Yin Realm, there are many benefits here."
"True Spirits can grow here without having to pass the heavenly tribulation."
"And you can absorb the Soul Crystals here, or forge a bone body with Bone Spirit Stones, and you can even discover some magical medicinal herbs. There are many benefits."
"It is rumored that some people have become god-level beings here, eventually had their flesh and blood reborn, and returned to the Yang Realm."
"Junior was nearing the end of his life and was skilled in the Departing Fire Dharma Array, so I was sent here by the God Venerable to investigate and collect treasures and more secrets."
"There are eight other sect elders who gave up their physical bodies to come here with me."
Zhao Xing looked at a fur bag at his feet, which contained many diamond-shaped crystals. These crystals made one feel a certain desire.
Next, he asked Bai Junlan some more questions, and only then did he jump down and return to Wei Tianchen and Bamboo Sword's side.
"How is it?" Wei Tianchen's True Spirit emitted fluctuations.
"He doesn't know much either, only that this is a place called Yanfang Territory, and Yanfang Territory is ruled by a king named 'Great Emperor Luofu'." Zhao Xing weighed the crystal core in his hand; it seemed like a fire spark was jumping inside.
"They mainly hunt other bone life forms to obtain Soul Crystals."
"Soul Crystals are originally produced from 【Soul Wells】, and can also be obtained from other bone life forms."
"It is rumored that absorbing enough Soul Crystal cores and Bone Spirit Crystals can make one a god, and one can strengthen the True Spirit and bone body without passing the tribulation. Eventually, one can be resurrected, have flesh and blood reborn, and leave this place."
Venerable Bamboo Sword did not express his opinion, but Wei Tianchen fell into shock after understanding, his fire spark jumping constantly.
"Soul Wells nurture bone life, replacing the cycle of life."
"Soul Crystal cores and Bone Spirit Stones replace spiritual energy absorption, without consuming the origin of the heaven and earth Dao."
"No tribulations, the Bone God Domain operates eternally, immortal and indestructible, attaining the heaven and earth Dao. Is this attaining the realm of a God King?"
"Or has he already become a God King?"
"Zhao Xing, your hometown is indeed extraordinary. No wonder a chicken-like figure like Qing Yuzi could fly onto a branch and become a phoenix, hahahaha!"
Wei Tianchen originally looked down on a Free-Spirit God like Qing Yuzi; it was just luck! Now that he had also come here, he looked down on Qing Yuzi even more.
With such a great opportunity in front of him, Qing Yuzi actually failed to grasp it and had to spend such a great risk to hitch a ride on the Dongyan Ancient Clan's resurrection ceremony. He was simply a piece of trash.
Venerable Bamboo Sword also realized the huge opportunity here. True Spirit tribulation was originally a huge crisis for his realm, but here, he didn't need to pass the tribulation, and his True Spirit could still make a huge leap?
Was the path to becoming a god he had painstakingly sought to be realized here?
Zhao Xing was not so optimistic. He always felt that this No-Tribulation Bone God Domain was a bit suspicious, and the new changes in the Profound Yellow Realm were too big. Assuming becoming a god was so simple, then how strong must "Yuan," who created the No-Tribulation Bone God Domain, be?
He carefully questioned Bai Junlan and found that what he said were all rumors; no one had ever really seen a god-level being walk out of the Bone Yin Realm.
If things went wrong, they were all just tools and fuel for some big shots to attain the Dao!
"What should we do with him?" Venerable Bamboo Sword pointed at Bai Junlan.
"Since we've already asked clearly, then kill him." Wei Tianchen said lightly, "Doesn't he have companions? If the sect behind him has god-level beings, killing him will avoid trouble."
Bamboo Sword did not act, but looked at Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing didn't expect Bamboo Sword to respect his opinion: "I think we should keep him. He can lead the way and is more familiar with the place. Moreover, he can use the fire array to teleport; he is a rare talent."
Although Bai Junlan didn't know their communication, through some subtle actions and fire spark fluctuations, he roughly guessed that it was after Zhao Xing finished speaking that Venerable Bamboo Sword pulled the sword out of his skull.
So he bowed gratefully to Zhao Xing: "Thank you, Senior, for sparing me." "Otherwise, I would have to be reborn in the Soul Well." "If I 'die' once, my memory will be lost."
In the Bone God Domain, there was no such thing as death. If you died, you would be reborn from the Soul Well, but you would lose power and memory, depending on how heavy the attack you received was.
Next, Wei Tianchen and Venerable Bamboo Sword discussed together and decided to let Zhao Xing absorb the Soul Crystals.
To verify whether what Bai Junlan said was true.
And after Zhao Xing absorbed three hundred third-rank Soul Crystals, he actually underwent a transformation.
【Name: Zhao Xing】
【Profession: Minister of Agriculture】
【Realm: Three-Tribulation True Spirit (Primordial clone soul, 96x amplification)】
【Bone Body: Star Dao Bone (3000/10000)】
【Bone Power: Third Rank (14/1000)】
"Except for the internal world still being in a sealed state, my magic power and a small part of my spells have returned, but the magic power flows in the bone body, and the spells have also undergone corresponding adjustments." Zhao Xing was a bit surprised that his True Spirit had become so much stronger without passing the tribulation.
Could it be that one could really become a god-level being by absorbing Soul Crystals?
Equally happy were Wei Tianchen and Bamboo Sword; they clearly felt that Zhao Xing's True Spirit had become stronger.
Since this method was feasible, they also had a chance to break through here!
"Senior, you cannot absorb higher-level fourth-rank Soul Crystals anymore, because the bone body needs a corresponding upgrade, and there are no fourth-rank Bone Spirit Stones here."
"The bone body is equivalent to a fire spark container."
"Whether it is a Dao Bone or a Golden Body, you must obtain a corresponding bone body." Bai Junlan said.
Zhao Xing asked puzzledly: "My two subordinates both have True Spirits far exceeding their bone bodies, and there's no problem."
"Your two subordinates should have felt strong suppression." Bai Junlan said respectfully: "Their strength cannot be fully unleashed."
"So that's it." Zhao Xing suddenly realized.
The reason why Wei Tianchen and Bamboo Sword's current combat power was far inferior to when they had physical bodies turned out to be here.
"So to speak, the barren mountain area we came to is the boundary between the Bone Yin Realm and the Yang Realm?"
"Yes, that is the forbidden area, Lianyin Mountain. Only entry is allowed, no exit." Bai Junlan said, "Heading southeast means giving up the physical body and voluntarily entering the Bone Yin Realm." "To go back and return to the Yang Realm, one needs the strength of a god-level being."
Zhao Xing: "The Divine Fire Sect sent you here, isn't that a one-way ticket, with no return?"
"Not entirely." Bai Junlan pointed to the fire pond, "The Bone Yin Realm fused with the Yin Realm and possesses the characteristics of the Yin Realm."
"The Sect Master can burn some things for us, and we can also transmit some things back, but the cost is huge. Usually, we just transmit some news back."
Zhao Xing looked at the jumping fire pond. It seemed the Divine Fire Sect was also not simple, with god-level beings sitting in town, still able to break some of the restrictions of the No-Tribulation Bone God Domain.
Just like the Great Emperor's Hunyuan Dao Tower, which could prevent his internal world from collapsing.
"So to speak, Bone God 'Yuan' should not have reached the No-Tribulation God King realm yet." Zhao Xing thought to himself. He had learned a lot of knowledge from Wei Tianchen.
Wei Tianchen looked down on a Free-Spirit God like Qing Yuzi, but he held the No-Tribulation True God in high regard, especially the God King who attained the Dao through heaven and earth. The gold content was simply not comparable to the so-called Free-Spirit God.
Zhao Xing asked him to give a specific example, and this guy brought up Qing Yuzi.
He said that he was not afraid of Qing Yuzi, who had just become a god, while holding a divine object, but any No-Tribulation True God who attained the Dao through heaven and earth could make him unable to unleash the power of the divine object.
A Free-Spirit God passing the tribulation pursues their own strength without limits, while a No-Tribulation True God pursues being of the same origin as heaven and earth, controlling the world.
The former could not restrict the power of his divine objects, but the latter could.
Most divine objects were Dharma artifacts stained with the aura of the god realm, which also referred to the No-Tribulation True God, not the Free-Spirit God. Because the aura of a Free-Spirit God did not leak out.
"Zhao Xing, let this skeleton lead the way." Wei Tianchen held a map, which was contributed by Bai Junlan, a map made from the bones of some giant beast.
"Where to?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Go do what they do." Wei Tianchen pointed at the map and smiled lightly: "Yanfang Territory is controlled by a king named Luofu. His Bone Kingdom still has many such tribal territories."
"Low-rank Soul Crystals are useless to me and Bamboo Sword; only high-rank ones will do."
"If I can become a Free-Spirit God first, perhaps I can find a way to contact Fan Qianrou's restriction sooner, and the grudges between you and me can be resolved sooner."
"Can one become a Free-Spirit God first?" Zhao Xing was a bit curious.
"Bamboo Sword can't, but I can." Wei Tianchen said, "Although there are strict restrictions on the two paths of attaining the Dao through heaven and earth and attaining the Dao through the self, I have preserved multiple life-bodies. I can let a clone attain the Dao first and become a Free-Spirit God, while my true self completes the attainment of the Dao through heaven and earth."
Zhao Xing secretly noted this down. He couldn't help but think of what he had done in the Annihilation Star Corridor and the Haitong Ancient Path.
If Wei Tianchen's core of attaining the Dao through heaven and earth was to kill gods with poison and return the Dao to heaven.
Then could his own solution to the Diejie Mountain problem and the reconstruction of the Yin-Yang Twin Star Illusion of the Annihilation Star Corridor be used as a method for the Minister of Agriculture to attain the Dao through heaven and earth?
"No wonder my Dharma theory is so valued, and the demigods of the Primordial Hill are willing to send several people to rescue me." Zhao Xing only now understood the true gold content of his Dharma theory.
Venerable Bamboo Sword's cultivation did not seek externally, but infinitely improved his control over the origin of sword dao. This was a martial artist's way of attaining the Dao.
Wei Tianchen's philosophy was centered on saving heaven and earth, treating the god realm as parasites. Although a bit absurd, it also fit his path as a physician.
Was the Minister of Agriculture's condition for attaining the Dao to solve the environment of the barren domain?
"I am only a Three-Tribulation True Spirit now, not even a demigod, so I don't have this qualification yet." Zhao Xing immediately stopped thinking about this problem. "First, strive to improve the True Spirit."
"Wei Tianchen and Bamboo Sword want to sweep through the other life forms in the Bone God Domain to obtain Soul Crystal cores and Bone Spirit Stones. I happen to need them too."
He acted as a translator, letting Bai Junlan lead them to another territory under Great Emperor Luofu to hunt those bone life forms.
"Little Bai, we are going to rob. Where do you think is suitable?"
Bai Junlan: "Senior, my Fire-Element Dharma Array can only lead to 'Fugu Territory' first. That is a gathering place with many strong people, and there are quite a few who possess high-rank Soul Crystal cores. There are also innately powerful Dao Bones and Golden Bones, it's just a bit dangerous."
Zhao Xing smiled: "I'm not afraid of many strong people, I'm only afraid of few. You just lead the way. My subordinates are very powerful. If there are gains, there will be benefits for you."
Bai Junlan could only helplessly agree. He pointed at the fire pond, and then his whole body's bones turned bright red.
The flames also changed from red to a cold green, suddenly growing stronger, and a passage appeared.
"Senior, this is the road to Fugu Territory."
