Chapter 486
"What are you here for?" By the Nine Yin River, Wei Tianchen used the bones of unknown giant beasts to build an array as a temporary shelter.
"I'm worried you'll encounter danger."
"Talking nonsense with your eyes open." Wei Tianchen laughed. "If this could prove the Dao in heaven and earth, you would probably be in the God King Realm."
"Old Imperial Physician, don't be so mean. They say physicians have benevolent hearts; how can you think of me like this?" Zhao Xing's gaze fell on Wei Tianchen's leg bone, where there was an obvious black patch. "Look, aren't you injured? My worry was not wrong."
Wei Tianchen lowered his leg bone, burned it, and then replaced it with one from his bone ring.
Looking at his skillful appearance, he must not have done it for the first time.
Zhao Xing looked at the poisonous bone that had been burned to ashes and pondered for a moment: "You have been exploring the Nine Yin River recently. Are you always very unlucky? The poisonous gas cannot be used, but instead becomes your burden, hurting yourself."
"How did you know?" Wei Tianchen was very surprised.
He constantly collected "bone poison" during the conquest to temper himself. Physician poison control is Wei Tianchen's main attack method.
His current bone body is no longer a Sun bone body, but a special type of 【Heavenly Poison Bone Body】.
This is a bone body cultivation method created by Wei Tianchen in the God Domain.
However, he has been very unlucky recently. He has explored the Nine Yin River for several years. Although he has gains, he always "goes into qi deviation" for no reason.
Wei Tianchen suspected that there was a problem with the self-created technique, but now that Zhao Xing suddenly said this, it made him suspicious.
"It's not that there's a problem with your self-created technique," Zhao Xing pondered. "It's that there's a problem with your luck."
"Are you talking about luck?" Wei Tianchen clearly didn't believe it. "How is that possible?"
"Think carefully," Zhao Xing said. "Does this poisoning situation of yours appear every time after you pass through a certain place in the Nine Yin River?"
Wei Tianchen stood up with a thud. It was obvious that as soon as Zhao Xing said it, he realized it too.
The fire seed burned fiercely, reflecting a scene.
The river water surged, winding back and forth. In the ink-dyed river water, islands appeared and disappeared.
The flow of the water had no pattern; there was no north-south or east-west flow. It was very disorderly, like black dragons swimming aimlessly between the islands.
"You're right," Wei Tianchen said. "Going into qi deviation three times in seven years is clearly not right. Every time I finish exploring this area of the Nine Yin River, the bone poison becomes uncontrollable."
"Originally I thought the technique was not perfect enough, and the degree was very slight, but why would it be because of luck?"
Zhao Xing raised his hand, the green Qi flame dissipated, revealing the purple finger bone.
"Old Imperial Physician, you should know the Qi Observation Method. Can't you see the peculiarity of this bone?"
Wei Tianchen remained indifferent: "I don't know the Qi Observation Method."
"How could you not? You gave the Great Zhou luck treasures—"
Wei Tianchen sighed and said: "Although I have luck treasures to give to the Great Zhou, I don't know it myself, because I once swore to the statue of the Li Emperor that I would not touch the path of luck becoming a god, and would not cultivate any luck method."
"Why?" It was Zhao Xing's turn to be surprised.
"Do you know how the Five Emperor Coins came about?" Wei Tianchen asked.
"The Five Emperors cast coins, hiding their own luck in ancient coins to circulate and protect the subjects," Zhao Xing said.
"It was indeed like that at the beginning," Wei Tianchen said. "The Five Luck Coin Casting Method was seen as a move to benefit the people at that time, but it changed later. It led to constant chaos."
1
Zhao Xing listened quietly.
"The refining of the Five Luck Coin Casting Method is based on the principle of cutting the strong and supporting the weak. The Heaven Luck Five Coin Division casts coins by first melting the material of ancient coins into the bodies of strong people to refine them, staining the ancient coins with the luck of the strong, and then taking them out for circulation after many years."
"The Five Emperor Coins are also known as 'God-Made Coins'."
Zhao Xing was shocked: "Wouldn't this be—"
Wei Tianchen nodded: "No technique exists as good or evil; using it for good is good, using it for evil is evil."
"Luck added to the body, deep blessings, cultivation will also be twice the result with half the effort, smooth sailing—this is a shortcut to becoming stronger."
"Everyone wants to take a shortcut, and the Heaven Luck Five Coin Division leaked the secret technique. Since then, the world has been turned upside down, and the purpose of this secret technique has changed."
"Officials, big and small, all extracted the power from the Heaven Luck Coins and took it for themselves. Later, the Heaven Luck Coins became fewer and fewer. Some disliked the slow time and simply slaughtered cities, killing people to extract luck to refine luck coins."
"There were even people who became gods through luck because of this. Because luck itself makes the strong even luckier, even if they did things that angered heaven and people, as long as their luck was stronger, they were less likely to be investigated. Instead, they would hold high positions. Even the God Emperor was deceived."
"Since then, this technique has completely become the root of chaos. When it was time to set things right, a large number of strong people fled to the demon territory or the wilderness area."
"The country was severely damaged because of this. Many generations later, because their innate luck was thin, there was a gap in strength."
Wei Tianchen felt somewhat emotional: "It can be said that in the Five Emperor era, except for the strict control during the Xu Ancestor period, the other four emperors all experienced great turmoil because of this technique."
Zhao Xing was stunned. He didn't expect that there were such secrets in the Five Emperor era. It seems that some dark history is only known clearly by old guys like Wei Tianchen.
"Later, the luck method was banned and completely abandoned. Even because of the God Emperor's fury, it once blocked the path of luck becoming a god."
"Blocked the path of becoming a god?"
Zhao Xing immediately thought of something, and his fire seed flickered.
"Zuo Qiyu, Jin Yan, and I all cultivated the Straw Man Technique. Does that also count as the Great Dao being blocked?"
Wei Tianchen looked at him: "You saw my notes in the library. I was only guessing at the time that Gu Tianyang created this technique, probably also thinking about luck avoiding tribulations."
"As for the specific situation, Gu Tianyang died after all, and I have never cultivated this technique, so I don't know much about it."
Zhao Xing fell into deep thought.
Gu Tianyang is Gu Luohe's brother, and both of them are descendants of the Heavenly God 'Gu Xiao'.
He had heard the name of Gu Xiao when he first entered the Yuan Sea Ancient Kingdom, but it was forgotten later.
In addition, Gu Xiao appeared in Wang Tianzhi's records!
He said that a 'Profound Yellow Divine Sect' appeared in the Profound Yellow Realm, suspected to be a makeover of the Profound Heaven Sect (sect version).
At that time, Wang Tianzhi was also very strange, because their Heavenly Time School, which is the ancestor respected by the Profound Heaven Sect (Profound Heaven Academy),
has always been Yun Tiandao.
"You know the Qi Observation Method. What clues did you see?" Wei Tianchen's words interrupted Zhao Xing's deep thought.
"I suspect this is the bone of a Luck God," Zhao Xing moved his index finger.
"No wonder—" Wei Tianchen suddenly realized.
The Dao of Luck follows a law: when in the same event, the person with high luck is lucky, and the person with low luck must be unlucky.
Of course, for a strong person like Wei Tianchen, his own innate luck level is not low, which guarantees a lower limit for his bad luck.
That is why he went into qi deviation three times in seven years, but the degree was very slight. It was just that the bone marrow poison in a certain bone erupted, not involving the whole body. He only needed to throw it away and re-cultivate a piece.
When Zhao Xing first asked if Wei Tianchen went into qi deviation after passing through a certain place, it was Wei Tianchen who accidentally entered the area of a Luck Free God.
"That Luck God might be dead, or perhaps because you left quickly, the influence did not expand."
"After I saw this bone, I was worried about your safety, so I came to find you immediately."
Wei Tianchen clapped his hands: "And you even rounded it back. Tian Ningzi, you are indeed a talent."
Zhao Xing was speechless. This old man's distrust of him had reached the extreme.
He cheated him once in the Yuan Sea Ancient Kingdom; did he create a psychological shadow?
Wei Tianchen reached out and pointed, and the Enlightenment Golden Hoop detached from Zhao Xing's head, shrank into a ring, and wore it on his hand.
"Hmm? What does this mean—" Zhao Xing touched his head, feeling puzzled.
Was Wei Dachen really moved by himself?
"The Nine Yin River space is chaotic. I might not be able to take care of you. If you and I are in a very distant space, the Enlightenment Golden Hoop will explode, which is not conducive to exploration," Wei Tianchen explained.
And why didn't it explode before? Because Bone-Subduing City had a fire seed avatar of Wei Tianchen, used as an anchor for the Enlightenment Golden Hoop.
Zhao Xing believed that Wei Tianchen now had some degree of trust in him.
Of course, this trust also stemmed from the fact that Zhao Xing could not leave this strange Bone God Domain alone and had to rely on him and Zhu Jian.
Where could he run to? Emperor-level entities were everywhere, and king-level demigods had been beheaded by the dozen over the years. If Zhao Xing ran around alone, it would be very easy to die.
On the Nine Yin River, the Yin wind blew, making people's bones feel cold.
The Sun Dao Bone couldn't shine here either; it had to be some special type of bone body to resist.
Wei Tianchen held a bone shield, which appeared light blue. This was a bone made by a special bone body lifeform, which could resist the Yin wind blowing on the Nine Yin River.
"Can you lock onto the specific location?" Wei Tianchen took Zhao Xing and shuttled back and forth through the islands in his memory for two and a half months.
"I didn't find it." Zhao Xing shook his head.
"The locations where I fished out things over the years total only a few places. It should be easy to find. If it's not here, there are only two places left."
"Let's go take a look." Zhao Xing nodded.
He used the Qi Observation Method and panel observation simultaneously.
The Qi Observation Method didn't see anything special, but Wei Tianchen's luck level fluctuated somewhat.
Wei Tianchen's luck level was Yan 24, but he had a treasure bonus on him, adding five ranks, so it was a total of Yan 29!
It was already very close to the threshold of the thirtieth rank!
One step further, he would have to be at the luck level of Gu Luohe and Bowei.
Reaching this level, Wei Tianchen's luck would be like a vast ocean, and ordinary small waves would be difficult to shake.
Only super-force hunting and extreme danger would cause his luck to fluctuate.
Otherwise, it would always be in a state of great luck, and it would be difficult to encounter any bad things.
Zhao Xing had been observing Wei Tianchen's luck level. Assuming there was a change, it would prove that they had entered the target area.
After flying for another two and a half months, suddenly, Wei Tianchen's luck level fluctuated.
It dropped from Yan 29 to Yan 20!
It dropped nine ranks at once!
One of the laws of luck: when the inherent luck fluctuates significantly, it will produce obvious auspicious or ominous trends.
"We're here!" Zhao Xing reminded him immediately.
"There are five islands below. Which one is it?"
"You walk two steps."
Wei Tianchen suspected that this kid was taking revenge on him.
He took Zhao Xing and flew a circle, shuttling back and forth between the five islands.
Zhao Xing intended to judge based on the luck fluctuations on the panel.
But he found that the five islands were all the same, meaning this range constantly reduced luck by nine ranks.
As for himself, his luck didn't decrease, seemingly because the purple index finger bone on his hand was of the same origin.
"They are all the same. The range of these five islands all had an impact."
"Let's go down and take a look." Wei Tianchen made a decisive decision and took Zhao Xing to land.
Just as Zhao Xing and Wei Tianchen landed on one of the five islands to explore, in another direction, a black beast bone ship was flying toward here.
In the hall on the ship, there was a group of pink skeletons wearing dharma robes, raising flags and showing off, singing and dancing.
Above was a throne, and the finger bone tapped gently along with the dance music. The True Spirit fire seed scattered and jumped, seemingly dancing along as well.
The upper body of the king was still in a bone state, but the soles and ankles of the lower body had grown flesh!
The flesh was flowing, seemingly dancing along as well. When the dance music reached its climax—
Two masses of flesh suddenly detached from the soles and climbed up along the ankles.
The fascia were lines of battle, and the flesh particles were like soldiers. They used the leg bone as a battlefield and launched an attack toward the high point!
However, when the flesh climbed to the knee—
A "Bang!"
A loud explosion appeared.
The king's finger bone tapped more and more urgently. All the pink skeletons in the hall had their fire seeds fly out suddenly, merging into the flesh to quickly make up for the festering flesh, and quickly organized a second wave of attack.
However, just as they entered the knee, the flesh "soldiers" seemed to have suffered a heavy blow.
The high singing stopped abruptly, and the army was defeated like a mountain!
The king watched helplessly as the flesh retreated back to the soles. He tried his best to attack again, but could only guard at the ankles.
"Sigh—" A light sigh sounded. "Fu Mengzhen, oh Fu Mengzhen, when will you be free?"
The bone king stood in front of a bronze mirror, with some high-end jewelry bone tools placed beside her. She touched her face bone, pitying herself.
"In the Yang Realm, I was peerless and had countless admirers, but now I have fallen into this ghostly state."
In the way of dance, aesthetics are very important, but every time she saw her skeleton appearance, Fu Mengzhen felt disgust, and even her Dao heart was affected.
"Master, we have arrived at the Nine Yin River." Just at this moment, a Sun skeleton holding a long spear appeared outside the door. "I know, prepare my entourage," Fu Mengzhen said lightly.
"Yes."
After the subordinate left, Fu Mengzhen's eyes fell on a piece of fur in front of the mirror.
The red fluff rolled gently, tangling into characters.
Fire Source Text!
This is the unique mark of the Fire Source Divine Temple.
"It took a lot of effort to exchange for the location of a secret place in the Nine Yin River from the Divine Temple. I don't know what is on this Five Luck Island. Just a specific location is worth 50, 00 fire source seeds."
Fu Mengzhen put on her decorations one by one. As the beast bone ship stopped slowly, she descended onto Five Luck Island surrounded by a group of gorgeously dressed skeletons.
"Hmm? Someone actually arrived at Five Luck Island before me?!" Fu Mengzhen's beautiful mood was immediately destroyed.
"Could that bastard Venerable Nanying have sold the information twice?!"
"Zhao Xing, someone is coming." Below was a thin-boned mountain range. Wei Tianchen, who was exploring in a cave, was holding a swaying star lamp and suddenly stopped moving forward.
"Who?" Zhao Xing jumped and retreated behind Wei Tianchen.
Wei Tianchen took out a double-layered mirror shaped like a Bagua, and eight gray Qi rotated around it, finally revealing the beast bone ship in the sky.
This is a divine object of a Fate Master!
Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh at Wei Tianchen's wealth. How many divine objects had he seen? Did the old guy enter the God Emperor's treasury back then?
It is only natural for the Imperial Physician to enter and leave the palace. He wouldn't be like him inheriting the Great Dream Academy, would he? Did Wei Tianchen also inherit the treasure of a divine dynasty?
"Hmm? She restored her flesh and has dharma robes?" Wei Tianchen's eyes lit up immediately.
In the thirty-odd years of taking down Bone-Subduing City, the spoils they obtained were almost all bone materials.
Bone spears, bone battle knives, bone armor.
Or they were magic tools made of Bone Spirit Stones and soul crystals.
The production of dharma robes usually involves extracting pulp silk from plants and fur from animals.
It implies the appearance of flesh and blood lifeforms, naturally growing plants!
In other words, there are things from the Yang Realm in this ghostly place!
However, Wei Tianchen had not seen high-quality non-bone lifeforms in these years.
As for where the legendary Fire Source Divine Temple was, he knew nothing.
The Southern Continent is full of heavy fog, poisonous gas swamps, and Yin clouds and Yin winds. He explored the Nine Yin River, perhaps not wanting to explore a wider world. Having a river as a reference is better than blindly rushing.
When Zhao Xing saw Fu Mengzhen on the mirror, he instantly understood Wei Tianchen's spirit.
He stomped his feet: "Leave the small soldiers and generals around her to me."
Wei Tianchen looked at the underground palace array that was taking shape rapidly but was extremely obscure under Zhao Xing's feet: "... ian Ningzi, why are you so skillful? You must have done this often in the past."
He only raised a question, and Zhao Xing began to act, as if it had become an instinctive reaction.
"Old Imperial Physician, we are all old acquaintances, so stop pretending." Zhao Xing buried his head in hard work.
Wei Tianchen laughed dumbly.
The bone body on his body turned black rapidly, and strands of poison source bodies were quickly extracted, spreading to all parts of the island along Zhao Xing's underground palace passage.
Setting up ambushes and laying traps, the Si Nong of the My School is a good hand. The troops are arranged into a forest, disguised as a natural environment, possessing strong deceptiveness.
However, the Earthly Benefit School is not to be outdone. The Underground Palace Technique, the Earth Store Technique, and the Profound Earth Technique are all good spells for harming people.
Especially in a place like the Bone God Domain, it integrates the Southern Continent and the Yin Realm, and the earth veins are also Yin attributes. When Zhao Xing became familiar with the local area in these thirty-odd years, all the Earthly Benefit School spells adapted to the local environment and became very underworld-like.
After the Earthly Benefit School spells were practiced in the Mustard Seed Dharma Domain of the Extreme Land, most of them transformed into reincarnation-level secret techniques.
The spells of the Ancient Hill are complete. The Demon God Underground Palace, the Shaking Light Earth Store, and the Earth Heart Cracking Earth are all at the reincarnation secret technique level.
Zhao Xing lost the cultivation of the Extreme Land, but that doesn't mean he can't cast Earthly Benefit spells. With the amplification of Green Flower magic power, he can still cast them. This secret technique has already covered the level of the Extreme Land. With his current realm, it makes no difference whether he has the cultivation of the third layer of the Extreme Land or not, unless he cultivates to the fourth layer, where the Mustard Seed Dharma Domain transforms into a Mustard Seed Dharma Realm.
The Twelve Underground Palace Techniques of the Ancient Hill correspond to the twelve demon gods. Zhao Xing explored the Bai Han Realm back then.
There were four avatars in the outside world, one presiding over the daily engineering of the Annihilating Star Ancient Road, one searching for the Heavenly Time School technique, one returning to the Primordial Realm, and one going to the Ancient Hill.
This avatar that went to the Ancient Hill learned the Life Underground Palace Technique from the contemporary mountain head of the Ancient Hill, Venerable Meishan.
When the main body first entered the Extreme Star Island in the second level of the Bai Han Realm, he had already learned the Life Underground Palace, and subsequently turned to learn other Earthly Benefit spells.
When Zhao Xing came out of the Bai Han Realm, the main body and the split soul completed an exchange of information.
What Zhao Xing knows now is not just one type of Earthly Benefit Technique.
"The Demon God Underground Palace taught to me by Emperor Hongshan back then was only the foundation of the twelve demon god underground palaces, which is a Great Divine Ability secret technique."
"The complete name of the Life Underground Palace should be the Life Demon God Underground Palace Technique," Zhao Xing recalled the scene of what he learned from the split soul and Venerable Meishan while setting it up.
The Life Demon God Underground Palace Technique was researched based on the ancient god 'A-Ga-La', a heaven-born god.
However, this technique naturally couldn't be called the A-Ga-La Underground Palace Technique or the Life Demon God Underground Palace Technique, otherwise it would make the Ancient Hill look like an evil cult, so it was directly called the Life Underground Palace Technique.
What Zhao Xing is setting up now is the Silence Underground Palace Technique.
The source of the technique originates from the 'Ji-Mo' demon god among the twelve demon gods.
It was born in a "Silence Period" in a top-level Great World. Logically speaking, during the Silence Period, the Great Dao is already very weak,
and all material lifeforms are being destroyed, so it is very difficult for a "heaven-born god-level" lifeform to appear.
However, the appearance of the Silence Demon God was different. The Great World he was in happened to collide with a Source Realm,
and the Silence Realm, which received nourishment, gave birth to a heaven-born god in the midst of destruction.
The Silence Demon God mastered the Destruction Dao, and his vitality was extremely tenacious. The Ancient Hill can only trap him to this day, but cannot kill him.
"Gu Long~"
The earth veins changed, and the earth bulged slightly, as if a small earthquake had occurred.
This change was simply insignificant in the Nine Yin River, and it was very difficult to distinguish it as man-made.
Because Zhao Xing's spells were adjusted for the Bone God Domain, the formation of this Silence Underground Palace could be said to be natural,
appearing under the island without anyone knowing.
Its interior was all carved with the Dao charm of the Silence Demon God, all recorded when the Silence Demon God roared and fought while casting his innate secret technique.
There were also a few strands of gray gas wandering in the dark underground palace, and the True Spirit Heavenly Poison cast by Wei Tianchen could be considered to complement the Underground Palace Technique.
"One underground palace is not safe enough; double-method fusion is more appropriate."
Zhao Xing didn't see Fu Mengzhen directly, so he didn't know her realm, but being able to carry flesh and blood proved that this must be a demigod.
It is better to overestimate the enemy's strength than to underestimate it.
"Burn the underground palace, rise!"
Golden light surged underground, and an underground palace that looked like a pyramid appeared in the outer layer of the Silence Underground Palace.
The difficulty of combining the two methods soared, and Zhao Xing's Green Flower magic power also burned out at this moment.
"You have indeed improved quite a bit." Wei Tianchen was surprised to see this. He hadn't seen him for thirty-odd years, and Zhao Xing had improved to the level of an eighth-rank Emperor. He thought Zhao Xing only had the realm, but his spells couldn't keep up.
He didn't expect this double-method underground palace to amaze him.
"Old Imperial Physician, let's stop the small talk. This person looks like she has a big background." Zhao Xing didn't like chatting during battle. If Wei Tianchen were in his own team, he would have been kicked out of the team after one battle.
"..."
Wei Tianchen was speechless. He, a dignified demigod, actually felt like he was being treated as a freeloader by Zhao Xing.
