Chapter 484

"What did he say?"

"The place Bai Lanjun wants to take us to is called Bone-Subduing Ridge. It is a gathering place with many powerful bone lifeforms."

"That's all he said." Wei Tianchen felt that Zhao Xing and Bai Lanjun had discussed quite a bit. "You and he both looked at me and Zhu Jian just now."

"Oh, I said you two are my seniors. With the protection of you two, I am absolutely not afraid of any strong enemies and can completely rest assured to go and snatch soul crystals."

Zhu Jian grabbed Bai Lanjun, Wei Tianchen grabbed Zhao Xing, and the four skeletons jumped into the fire pond, subsequently traveling through the green flames.

Zhao Xing asked curiously: "Xiao Bai, can this fire array of yours break the rule of 'a thousand miles in an instant'?"

"The Divine Fire Sect's array does not count as violating the speed limit of a thousand miles in an instant," Bai Lanjun said. "We are traveling through the fire pond, so we still cannot exceed this limit, but traveling from one fire pond to another significantly shortens the distance."

"Similar to the divine ability of shrinking the earth into an inch?"

"Yes."

"Xiao Bai, you also use fire. Do you know about the Li Fire Divine Sect?" Zhao Xing asked. "This sect of theirs is also proficient in fire control. They have also built fire ponds all over the world and use Li Fire altars to teleport."

"Oh?" Bai Lanjun raised his head, the fire seed in his eye socket flickering, clearly somewhat puzzled. "I haven't heard of this. Does this sect really exist?"

"I wouldn't say I know all the sects in the Profound Yellow Continent, but there are only a few that are proficient in using fire. I am an Elder of the Li Fire Peak of the Divine Fire Sect."

"Never heard of it?" Zhao Xing was thoughtful. "Xiao Bai, then do you know how many Divine Venerables there are on the Profound Yellow Continent?"

Bai Lanjun tilted his head: "I can't remember clearly. I only know there are quite a few, but apart from the Blazing Fire Divine Venerable of my own sect and the Dragon God, I no longer remember the honorary names of the other gods. Which Divine Venerable do you worship, Senior?"

"I worship the Dragon God," Zhao Xing said dismissively.

"The Dragon God? Is the Dragon God still alive?" Bai Lanjun was somewhat bewildered. "Rumor has it that the Dragon God has fallen, and the Dragon Court has also been in a state of closure—"

Zhao Xing waved his hand, having no intention of explaining anything.

Through his conversation with Bai Lanjun, he confirmed that the location of the Profound Yellow Realm hadn't changed, but the time node definitely didn't match up.

It is very likely that the Profound Yellow Realm has spawned a space-time instance, similar to the World-Passing Tower.

"Yuan 342, if it's space-time coordinates, then this makes sense."

"I, Wei Tianchen, and Zhu Jian don't even know when we started entering. This also feels somewhat similar to entering the World-Passing Tower."

"Could it be that we are reincarnating in space-time?"

Zhao Xing did not intend to tell Wei Tianchen and Zhu Jian his speculation, because it still needed to be verified.

"Hoo~"

The green flames suddenly weakened, and the black earth returned to his field of vision.

Zhao Xing, Bai Lanjun, Wei Tianchen, and Zhu Jian walked out of another fire pond.

There were no other bone creatures around, and above their heads was a mountain wall; the fire pond was set inside a cave.

"Senior, this is another fire pond set up by our Divine Fire Sect. It is only ten million miles away from the 'Bone-Subduing Royal City' in Bone-Subduing Ridge."

"The Bone-Subduing Royal City is the largest city in Bone-Subduing Ridge. It is ruled by a king named 'Zhuo Ying,' and there are seven soul wells inside."

"Bone kings are at least ninth-rank fire seeds (True Spirits). According to the classification of the Profound Spirit Star Domain, they are at the demigod level."

"The power of the bone also reaches the ninth rank, possessing a powerful bone body."

"For example, someone like me is at the Bone General level, a sixth-rank fire seed (True Spirit). However, I scavenged a set of 【Bone Spirit Fire Body】 for myself; in terms of fire control and escaping, eighth-rank lifeforms cannot catch up to me."

Zhao Xing was curious: "Then do you think my two subordinates can defeat that king in Zhuo Ying City?"

Bai Lanjun: "Undoubtedly, the True Spirits of your two subordinates have already crossed the threshold of a king, but their bone bodies are still in their original state and have not evolved through bone body techniques."

"If they are in battle, it is very easy to suffer losses."

"Are there cultivation techniques here?"

"Of course. There are cultivation methods for both bone bodies and fire seeds. After the Bone Yin Realm appeared, secret techniques have descended into the world from time to time."

"I heard there is a Bone God Temple in the center of the Southern Continent, where one can obtain the inheritance of gods and also obtain methods for flesh and blood rebirth."

Zhao Xing nodded, then relayed a portion of Bai Lanjun's words to Wei Tianchen and Zhu Jian.

"He said this City Lord Zhuo Ying is a demigod, and in the core area of the Bone Yin Realm, there is a temple. Inside the temple, one can obtain the inheritance of gods and also methods for flesh and blood rebirth."

"However, one must become a powerful city lord to be qualified to be summoned." This last sentence was added by Master Zhao himself. He would take any opportunity to pit Wei Tianchen against someone.

"Zhu Jian, we can kill Zhuo Ying and occupy this territory." Wei Tianchen felt this was a very good opportunity to occupy a piece of territory to manage; not only could they search for the opportunities of the Bone God Domain, but they could also start to resolve the seal left behind by Fan Qianrou.

"We can cooperate." Venerable Zhu Jian nodded. Zhao Xing pretended to advise: "We cannot go directly to deal with Zhuo Ying; we must first strengthen our bone bodies."

"The bone body is very important here; it is the foundation for exerting one's strength."

"We are all only third-rank bone bodies—"

"There is no need for such trouble." Wei Tianchen interrupted: "Zhu Jian and I both possess divine objects. We can just kill Zhuo Ying directly and obtain his wealth; the rank of our bone bodies will naturally be able to rise."

Wei Tianchen was arrogant and overbearing, wanting to take down the local tyrant here right away.

He and Venerable Zhu Jian flew together toward Bone-Subduing City.

Before leaving, Wei Tianchen chanted a spell and threw out a purple-gold gourd shining with divine light from his ring. A pool of divine water poured out from the gourd, forming a watery golden-blue barrier. The barrier wrapped him and Bai Lanjun together inside.

"The Azure Water Golden Divine Realm can protect you. Stay here and don't move; we will be back soon."

"Wait, what about the Enlightenment Golden Hoop?" Zhao Xing asked. Wei Tianchen can't leave him too far, right?

"The power of the Azure Water Golden Divine Realm surpasses the Enlightenment Golden Hoop; it will not take effect during this period."

Venerable Zhu Jian left Zhao Xing a bone sword; this was carved from his own rib, and the sword Qi inside possessed fifty percent of Venerable Zhu Jian's cultivation.

After the two left, only Zhao Xing and Bai Lanjun remained in the cave.

"Senior, what is this?" Bai Lanjun looked at the barrier curiously.

"Oh, this is to protect me."

"What did your subordinates go to do?"

"I let them go to kill Zhuo Ying."

"Hiss~"

Bai Lanjun felt more and more that Zhao Xing's background was extraordinary and unfathomable.

Thinking of the questions Zhao Xing asked earlier, Bai Lanjun was even more in awe of Zhao Xing.

"This senior's previous questions were basically related to the god level."

"He also asked me about the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, who is in charge of the Heavenly Mandate, and said there is another sect called the Li Fire Divine Sect, which also seems to be under the management of this divine dynasty, but he seems to have no respect for that 'Human Emperor'."

"Could he be the incarnation of some god-realm entity?"

Bai Lanjun immediately buried his head into the dust.

He didn't dare to try to escape, only hoping that this big shot would let him go after achieving his goal.

Zhao Xing never thought that Bai Lanjun would imagine so much.

At this time, he was mobilizing the power of the bone to try to open his inner world.

"The power of Wei's divine object surpasses the Enlightenment Golden Hoop."

"Can I use the divine object to wear down the restrictions on the Enlightenment Golden Hoop?"

Zhao Xing has divine objects, and there are two of them: one is the Primordial Dao Tower, and the other is the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle.

The Enlightenment Golden Hoop is a good thing, but the restrictions on it must be worn down.

However, now he must first open his inner world.

"The world core is hidden in the bone body. It is not the power of the bone body that seals it, but a self-seal." Zhao Xing tried it and found that the world core remained motionless. It seemed to be a self-preservation mechanism produced by the joint efforts of the Primordial Dao Tower and the native species.

"Xiao Bai, do you have any divine objects?"

Bai Lanjun was speechless. Do I look like someone who has divine artifacts?

"Senior, I do not."

Zhao Xing tried it and found that the inner world could not be opened, so he had to sit cross-legged and cultivate.

"Now I can only wait. If Wei Tianchen dies at the hands of Zhuo Ying, the restrictions will also be destroyed."

"If the divine object I summoned arrives, then there will also be hope of escaping control."

However, what Zhao Xing couldn't figure out was that, assuming this is no longer the original space-time, the divine objects he left behind shouldn't be able to be sensed.

Then what is that "summoning sensation" of his?

Not long after waiting, the green fire pond suddenly began to flicker.

"Hmm?" Zhao Xing became vigilant immediately. He lifted Bai Lanjun's skull and asked: "What's going on?"

"Senior, someone has opened the fire pond; it should be my fellow disciples," Bai Lanjun said. "But I haven't notified them."

While speaking, two skeletons appeared in the fire pond.

One was dark red all over, with golden stars flickering on its forehead and joints, like diamonds.

One was cyan all over, its bones as clear as diamonds, and there were also many secret patterns and crystals embedded in the bone body.

Because the Azure Water Golden Divine Realm came with a concealment function, and the space of the cave fire pond itself was relatively large, these two skeletons did not discover the existence of Zhao Xing and Bai Lanjun.

"Are they also members of the Divine Fire Sect?"

"Yes, one is named Hu Qing, my senior brother, and one is named Yan Jun, my senior sister."

Hu Qing held a bone knife and was a seventh-rank True Spirit martial artist; his golden body and fire body were also seventh-rank.

Yan Jun was a seventh-rank True Spirit soul illusionist with a seventh-rank 【Profound Bright Dao Bone】.

"Where did Junior Brother Lanjun go? We agreed to meet in the Yanfang Ridge, but I haven't seen anyone, and he's not here either," Hu Qing complained.

"Maybe he went to Bone-Subduing City to trade first," Yan Jun looked around. "Looking at the heat of the fire array, it seems he just left not long ago."

"Let's go to Bone-Subduing City too. The harvest this time is not bad; maybe we can replace an eighth-rank Dao Bone for you, Junior Sister."

Hu Qing and Yan Jun flew out of the cave while talking, completely unaware of the concealment barrier in the corner.

About three days later, these two returned to the vicinity of the fire pond again.

Hu Qing was missing three ribs, the diamond light on his forehead had dissipated quite a bit, and Yan Jun's skeleton also appeared damaged.

The two skeletons returned to the cave fire pond somewhat dejectedly, as if they had just experienced a great battle.

"Damn... I didn't expect Zhuo Ying City to be in chaos. It's a good thing we ran fast. Junior Sister, how are you?"

"The injuries are not very heavy. I really don't know who is challenging that bone king. Zhuo Ying has a tenth-rank fire seed!"

"Let's avoid the limelight first, and then go out later to see if there are any scraps to pick up."

"Hmm..."

Zhao Xing heard their entire conversation.

"It seems Wei Tianchen and Zhu Jian have made their move. I don't know how the battle is going, but if Zhuo Ying is only a tenth-rank True Spirit, he shouldn't be their match. What a pity."

After waiting for a few days, Hu Qing and Yan Jun ran out again, seemingly wanting to pick up scraps.

At this time, under the bonus of the Enlightenment Golden Hoop, Zhao Xing had already unsealed the three major magic powers; the Green Flower magic power, the Vast Sea magic power, and the Red Lotus magic power flowed in his bone body, appearing very extraordinary.

Half a month later, these two returned to the vicinity of the cave, but they were being hunted.

Although Zhao Xing could not leave, he could sense the outside world.

He saw that outside the cave, Hu Qing was holding a bone knife, constantly hacking at a group of bone creatures.

Hu Qing's strength was not weak, but unfortunately, the number of people besieging the two of them was simply too many.

And the leading yellow diamond bone body had already reached an eighth-rank True Spirit fire seed in Zhao Xing's eyes. Behind him were more than thirty sixth-rank True Spirit fire seed subordinates. Each bone body was extraordinary, enough to crush the two of them.

"Your senior brother and sister didn't manage to pick up scraps, but instead got targeted themselves?"

Bai Lanjun was speechless; he didn't know what had happened either, but it looked like the situation was very bad.

Hu Qing's skeleton was hacked away by a yellow diamond bone body holding a crystal spear. In mid-air, he was shaken by a force.

The bone body fell apart directly.

However, before landing, flames emerged from Hu Qing's skull, and he immediately reassembled the skeleton.

Yan Jun was restraining them with True Spirit illusions, and it was precisely because of her restraint that the two of them were barely holding on.

However, Zhao Xing could clearly see that the bone power values of the two were constantly dropping, and even the True Spirit fire seeds were becoming dim. "If this continues, your two fellow disciples won't be able to hold on for long."

Gradually, Hu Qing's sword technique became somewhat disjointed, and that yellow diamond bone body found an opportunity and suddenly attacked!

"Shoo!"

The crystal spear flew through the air, directly hitting Hu Qing and pinning him to a giant mountain boulder.

"Ah~" There was a strange power on the crystal spear, absorbing his fire seed.

"What kind of weapon is that? It can actually absorb other people's True Spirits?"

"Senior, that is a Bone Spirit Spear," Bai Lanjun said. "It is a magic tool made of Bone Spirit Stones and soul crystals."

"It is a magic tool that can absorb the power of other people's fire seeds."

"Being killed by a Bone Spirit Spear will cause one to lose most of their True Spirit power, and even lead to the forgetting of memories and secret techniques," Bai Lanjun said calmly.

Zhao Xing looked at Bai Lanjun curiously: "Why aren't you worried about them?"

1

Bai Lanjun: "I can barely protect myself, so worrying is redundant. Besides, they both know the 'Bone Dissolution Great Technique'."

The Bone Dissolution Great Technique is similar to the method of reincarnation. Wei Tianchen believes that the owner of the Bone God Domain is proving the Dao in heaven and earth, operating in place of the Heavenly Dao in a unique way. The Bone Dissolution Great Technique is the reincarnation secret technique here.

"As long as the spell is cast in time, the senior brothers and sisters will return to a secret soul well to be reborn. As for the losses, they can be made up for later."

"So that's how it is."

"Senior," Bai Lanjun hesitated, "can you please save them? These two fellow disciples have a pretty good relationship with me..."

Zhao Xing did not respond, just continued watching, and Bai Lanjun said no more.

Hu Qing blew up half of his bone body to cover Yan Jun's retreat back to the cave, running away through the fire pond.

Others cannot use the fire pond, but as long as he can buy a little time, his Junior Sister Yan Jun can escape.

Seeing Yan Jun fly into the cave, Hu Qing intended to cast the Bone Dissolution Great Technique, letting himself return to the soul well to be reborn, and no longer continue to fight.

Because if he continued to fight, more and more of his cultivation would be sucked away, and his strength would drop significantly after rebirth, and he would even lose his memories.

"Hmm? Why am I not dead yet?" Hu Qing was pinned by the Bone Spirit Spear once again, but the blade of death never fell.

Instead, the bone spear suddenly pulled away from him urgently and returned to its master's hand.

Hu Qing stopped the Bone Dissolution Great Technique. He saw that the yellow diamond bone general on the bone chariot, who had been majestic just a moment ago, was now pierced through by bone swords one after another.

Seeing this sudden change, the remaining subordinates immediately scattered like birds and beasts to run away.

"I, I was saved?"

"Click click click~"

The sword Qi erupting from the bone swords spread again and again, and the eighth-rank bone general made a teeth-grinding friction sound.

His fire seed was also annihilated by the circulation of sword Qi. Seeing that he couldn't break free no matter what, the eighth-rank bone general had no choice but to let out a roar and actively cast the Bone Dissolution Great Technique.

With a "Bang!", the skeleton suddenly exploded and scattered, the True Spirit fire seed disappeared abruptly, the imprint of the golden body bone body was actively wiped out, and it became completely still.

"The Bone Dissolution Great Technique is truly magical."

Zhao Xing looked at the bones scattered on the ground; they didn't shatter, they just scattered.

"Yuan created the No-Tribulation Bone God Domain, allowing True Spirits to grow while avoiding tribulations, and also created the Bone Dissolution Great Technique, a secret technique similar to reincarnation. Could he be an alternative Martial God?" Zhao Xing thought secretly.

There are some extremists in the Qi Sect who don't even want flesh and blood, simply cultivating a golden bone. Flesh and blood decay, only the golden bone lasts forever.

However, Zhao Xing quickly denied this idea. Yuan is proving the Dao in heaven and earth, and his bone cultivation path is very complete. If he were treated as that kind of extreme Qi Sect martial artist, it would be too one-sided.

"I don't know which senior saved us. Hu Qing, Elder of the Martial Fire Peak of the Divine Fire Sect, asks the senior to appear and meet."

Hu Qing and Yan Jun found that no one answered them at all. So they could only stare at that bone sword; it was this bone sword that saved them just now.

"Shoo~" The bone sword suddenly became smaller, picked up a bone ring that had fallen on the ground, and flew into the cave while carrying the scattered eighth-rank bone body.

"Inside the cave?" Hu Qing and Yan Jun followed the trajectory of the flying sword into the cave, but found that the flying sword landed on the other side of the fire pond and disappeared.

They couldn't find where it went no matter what, because they couldn't see through the Azure Water Golden Divine Realm, let alone touch this barrier.

"Many thanks to the senior for your help." Inside the barrier, Bai Lanjun expressed his gratitude.

"Since you are working for me, this is just a small matter." Zhao Xing pretended to be using the means left by Venerable Zhu Jian, and then he picked up the bone ring left by the eighth-rank bone general to check it.

"Hmm? There are quite a few treasures in here." Zhao Xing was somewhat happy. "There are four sets of bone bodies from low to high, and there are thousands of fourth to eighth-rank soul crystals. It looks like this is a complete set."

Absorbing soul crystals can make the True Spirit transform, and the bone body is the prerequisite for absorption. Zhao Xing is currently a third-rank True Spirit with a third-rank bone body, but because there is no matching bone body, he has no way to absorb them even if he has extra soul crystals.

But now, there is a complete set of resources in this bone ring.

"Could it be that this person prepared this to be reborn from the soul well?"

Reborn from the soul well, the initial state is a low-rank bone body, and the True Spirit will also be significantly reduced accordingly.

But if resources are prepared in advance, an eighth-rank True Spirit can also quickly re-cultivate back.

"Now these are all cheap for me." Zhao Xing became excited. "This treasure is enough to make my True Spirit undergo continuous transformations, equivalent to passing through several True Spirit tribulations. I'll eat!"
