Chapter 488: Dan Ye Free God

Wei Tianchen looked toward the sky, and Zhao Xing followed suit, but the next moment a voice appeared on the ground, less than ten thousand miles away from them.

"Your medical Dao is quite interesting. Did you refine this thing? What is its name?"

★￠〇

Wei Tianchen and Zhao Xing were startled by this voice.

They saw a figure wearing a dark green Dharma robe appear on the island. He had no aura at all, not even Bone Power, yet he possessed a flesh-and-blood body.

His brown-red hair was like fire, tied up with a jade hairpin, his facial features were perfect, his skin was crystalline, and his eyes were bright and piercing.

On the interface, the data for Dan Ye Free God only had two lines: one for the name and one for the profession.

【Name: Dan Ye】

【Profession: Divine Physician】

Due to the existence of the level gap, Zhao Xing didn't know if this person was a Free God or a No-Tribulation True God.

"My name is Dan Ye, self-proven and attained the Dao," the dark green figure revealed a faint smile.

Zhao Xing immediately bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Senior."

Wei Tianchen, however, did not salute and remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Don't be nervous; I have no malice, just passing by," Dan Ye Free God stretched out his hand. "Saw some things that interested me."

"Sou~"

A box appeared out of thin air in his hand; it was exactly the Dao Heart Confusion Medicine that Wei Tianchen had just shown off to Zhao Xing!

Old Wei was also too unreliable; with a pile of divine objects in hand, he actually let the other party touch nearby before discovering them, and now the things on his body had been snatched away!

"What is this medicine called?"

Wei Tianchen: "It is called Dao Heart Confusion Medicine."

Dan Ye Free God crushed the box, inhaled the medicinal powder inside, then nodded frequently, his expression somewhat intoxicated: "Not bad, not bad, marvelous."

"What is your name?"

"Wei Tianchen."

"Are there any other marvelous medicines?"

"I made some haphazardly; they are all here."

"I will take you as my disciple and teach you the Dan Method. Are you willing to come with me?"

Zhao Xing and Wei Tianchen had established a spiritual space to ambush Fu Mengzhen, and at this moment, he clearly saw Wei Tianchen trembling.

Trembling in the spiritual space proved that Wei Tianchen's emotional fluctuations were very large right now.

Zhao Xing didn't understand what Wei Tianchen was trembling about.

It seemed that Dan Ye Free God had no malice and turned a blind eye to all the divine objects; wasn't this a good thing?

However, Wei Tianchen quickly returned to normal. He bowed and saluted: "I am willing to go with you."

Seeing Wei Tianchen agree, Dan Ye Free God was very happy. His gaze finally fell on Zhao Xing for a second, but he quickly ignored him.

Seeing this, Wei Tianchen pointed at Zhao Xing: "He is my subordinate. I want to give some instructions and let him go back to manage my territory."

"You may."

Then Wei Tianchen handed the red thumb ring on his hand to Zhao Xing.

Then he said very calmly: "I must meet the Divine God; the Dao is promising. You go back on your own and cultivate well."

"Yes." Zhao Xing took the red jade thumb ring.

The next second, Wei Tianchen flew to Dan Ye Free God's side without looking back once.

"Sou~"

Dan Ye Free God also never looked at Zhao Xing again, waving his hand and disappearing from Wuyun Island with Wei Tianchen.

Zhao Xing calmly put away the imprisoned Fu Mengzhen and then flew toward the Bone-Subduing Territory.

"Boom~"

Not long after he left, Wuyun Island, having lost its divine charm, self-destructed, and the violent self-destruction destroyed all traces of Wuyun Island.

It turned into sand in the vast Nine Yin River.

On the way back to the Bone-Subduing Territory, Zhao Xing was somewhat dazed.

Because Wei Tianchen had handed his most important storage ring to him.

He had seen with his own eyes that Wei Tianchen had stored the five divine objects used to deal with Fu Mengzhen, including the Eight-Direction Divine Mirror, the Clear Water Gold Divine Gourd, the Origin Wheel, etc., all in this red jade thumb ring!

It was even very likely that it contained something Wei Tianchen valued immensely—Fan Qianrou's "Seven-Star Cabinet".

"This Dan Ye Free God has a big problem!"

Wei Tianchen being taken as a disciple by Dan Ye Free God was logically a good thing.

But Wei Tianchen's actions looked a bit like he was never going to return, vaguely carrying the meaning of entrusting an orphan, letting himself bring back the precious things.

Zhao Xing carefully recalled the conversation between Dan Ye Free God and Wei Tianchen.

He didn't feel anything wrong.

Dan Ye Free God didn't take the treasures of Wuyun Island, wasn't Fu Mengzhen's reinforcement, and didn't even take a second look at the divine objects Wei Tianchen had placed outside, like the Eight-Direction Divine Mirror.

"What exactly happened?"

"Could this be an opportunity after my Qi luck skyrocketed?"

"Although I can't open the red jade thumb ring now, I have no restraints. If I run away with this ring—that would be a huge fortune!"

As this thought flashed by, Zhao Xing immediately calmed down.

"No, fortune and misfortune are interdependent. Before knowing the reason, it is best to return to Bone-Subduing City first."

The red jade thumb ring still had Wei Tianchen's seal; as long as he wasn't dead, he still couldn't open it.

If he couldn't open it, it was equivalent to not having it. Walking around with so many divine objects might not be a fortune but a misfortune!

"Go back!"

Zhao Xing suppressed his greed and returned to Bone-Subduing City two months later.

"Hu~"

When Zhao Xing returned to the fire pit in Bone-Subduing City, he saw a clone of Wei Tianchen waiting in front of the fire pit.

Wei Tianchen originally had many-life Dharma bodies, but after entering the Bone Divine Realm, his many-life Dharma bodies disintegrated one after another.

Because those Dharma bodies were just 'living dead', their lifespans were already exhausted, and they only had empty shells of flesh and blood, which were refined into living corpses by Wei Tianchen and then controlled by his soul.

The current clone was cultivated during these thirty-three years using the Fire Seed Soul-Splitting Method; it was just a temporary Dharma body.

"Old Physician, I have brought your things back," Zhao Xing took off the red jade thumb ring and threw it to Wei Tianchen's clone.

"You have returned; this is very good," Wei Tianchen said. "If you had run away, the red jade ring would not be a blessing but a disaster for you."

After speaking, Wei Tianchen threw the thumb ring back and tossed it to Zhao Xing.

"You are—" Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment.

"If I die, this thing is yours," Wei Tianchen's clone said: "At that moment, the artifact spirit of the red jade ring will naturally help you open the seal."

"If there really is such a day, Zhao Xing, you might as well cultivate the Physician Dao as well. You have Fan Qianrou's Heart-Sealing Method as a foundation, and you have the inheritance I left behind. Walking this path to become a god is not necessarily a bad thing."

Zhao Xing's mood was complex; he didn't expect Wei Tianchen to really intend to entrust this thing to him.

"Now, quickly contact Bamboo Sword, let him come back, and then escape with you through the Dharma array of that kid Bai Lanjun."

"That guy has a problem?" Zhao Xing didn't mention the title of Dan Ye Free God. He just contacted Bamboo Sword Venerable on one side,

and contacted his clone on the other, notifying Bamboo Sword Venerable in the Anshan Territory to return quickly.

"Hmm," Wei Tianchen sighed softly.

"I said before that becoming a Free God is proving the Dao with one's self, but after becoming a Free God, one still has to experience a Divine Tribulation."

"Only by proving the Dao with heaven and earth and becoming a No-Tribulation True God can one truly attain freedom."

"He took a fancy to me; either he intends to seize my Dao, or he intends to make me his tool."

"Disciple—heh, he doesn't even care about divine objects; for no reason, why take a disciple?"

Zhao Xing understood; Wei Tianchen didn't want his method of proving the Dao with heaven and earth to be snatched away by Dan Ye Free God, and the Seven-Star Cabinet was his most critical object for proving the Dao.

If Wei Tianchen died, it would prove that his speculation was indeed correct.

If he guessed wrong and Dan Ye Free God really wanted to take him as a disciple, then Wei Tianchen could return and take back the red jade thumb ring.

However, Wei Tianchen believed that the former was more likely.

Old Physician viewed the Divine Realm as parasites, the same as the cold-blooded, selfish nature of divinity that Bo Wei thought.

In comparison, he would rather give the Seven-Star Cabinet to himself than give it to the divine Dan Ye.

"Old Physician, didn't you say you weren't afraid of ordinary Divine Realms?" Zhao Xing asked. "With so many divine objects, can't you fight him?"

"Even if I win the fight, I can't kill him; if I lose, I lose everything," Wei Tianchen shook his head; he didn't dare to take the risk.

Assuming he lost, his lifelong wish would never be realized again.

"Where should we run to?" Zhao Xing asked.

"I have to go to the place according to Fu Mengzhen's confession; I can't say more—" The small fire seed inside the skull of Wei Tianchen's clone was dimming at a staggering speed.

"Plop~" The bone body fell heavily to the ground.

"Old Physician?!" Zhao Xing hurriedly went to check, only to find that Wei Tianchen's fire seed was only as big as a firefly. Although it hadn't completely extinguished, it could no longer communicate.

"Hu~"

A few days later, a figure appeared in the fire pit, and Bamboo Sword Venerable returned from Anshan City.

"What's going on? Where is Wei Tianchen?"

"We ran into a Free God," Zhao Xing pointed to Wei Tianchen's clone bone body and briefly recounted: "That's how it is."

Bamboo Sword Venerable was silent. In the Xuanling Star Territory, he had only seen the Divine Realm twice in his life, and had only communicated with it once.

He never expected the Profound Yellow Realm to be so dangerous; he had only been here for thirty-something years and had already run into a Divine Realm.

Although he knew that he would run into it sooner or later, and contacting the Divine Realm was a dangerous thing, he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

After a brief shock, Bamboo Sword Venerable asked the question Zhao Xing had asked before: "If the Divine Realm wants to hunt us down,

where should we run to be safe?"

Zhao Xing took out three animal skins recording the confession: "According to Fu Mengzhen's confession, we have three choices."

"First, go to Fu Mengzhen's lair. Her lair belongs to the territory of a Free God; it is the core area of the Bone Yin Realm, and there is a Moon God Cave Heaven. This cave heaven is public, and Fu Mengzhen has been paying tribute to the other party, obtaining the protection of the Moon God.

We can control Fu Mengzhen now and hide in her lair for the time being."

"Second, go against the trend, stay away from the center of the Southern Continent, and hide in the edge areas where bone creatures are scarce."

"Third, still go to the core area, but not in the same direction as Fu Mengzhen's lair, and seek the protection of another Divine Realm, the 'Yu Mo' Free God. This location is also public."

Bamboo Sword Venerable pondered: "Fu Mengzhen's lair is obviously not a good place; who knows if Fu Mengzhen will recover? I don't know medical skills."

"Besides, the one paying tribute is Fu Mengzhen, not you or me."

"Hiding in the edge area is not necessarily safe either. Let's go to the Yu Mo Cave Heaven."

Zhao Xing actually felt that the second choice was also good.

Assuming Wei Tianchen really died, he would inherit a pile of divine objects, plus 30 tiers of Qi luck; hiding in the edge area was possible.

In addition, he wanted to know what kind of treasure he was summoning. If he succeeded in summoning under the nose of a Divine Realm, it might not be a good thing.

However, what Bamboo Sword Venerable said also made a lot of sense.

Hiding in the edge area was not necessarily safe, and could they just hide forever?

"Then let's go to the Yu Mo Cave Heaven."

In the end, Zhao Xing and Bamboo Sword Venerable reached a consensus.

He let Bai Lanjun, Hu Qing, and Yan Jun first follow the route map obtained from Fu Mengzhen to secretly go ahead and set up fire pits.

He and Bamboo Sword Venerable lived as usual in the Bone-Subduing Territory.

About seven years later, the fire pit route was successfully built.

At this time, Wei Tianchen's clone was still in a half-dead state.

Seven and a half years later, Bamboo Sword Venerable challenged a 13th-tier Bone King.

The two fought earth-shakingly in Bone-Subduing City, wild fires burned fiercely, and in the end, the entire city was destroyed by the battle between the two kings.

And the two kings also "perished together".

Bone Yin Realm, Yu Mo Prefecture, the sky was gray, mist seemed to fill the entire heaven and earth, visibility became extremely low, and it was almost impossible to distinguish between day and night.

"Hu~"

On the edge of Yu Mo Prefecture, a small fire pit only ten meters in circumference and half a person high suddenly illuminated the mist.

Immediately after, five figures walked out of it.

"Pu~"

Seeing Zhao Xing, Bamboo Sword, and his senior brother and sister come out, Bai Lanjun immediately followed the original plan to extinguish the fire pit and completely destroy it.

"My lord, everything is ready," Bai Lanjun said. "Starting from here to the east, it only takes about half a year to enter the territory of Yu Mo Prefecture."

"For the sake of safety, my senior brother, senior sister, and I also set up a fire pit route to Moon God Prefecture, and then extinguished them one by one."

"Little Bai, you've worked hard," Zhao Xing nodded. The fire pit Dharma array of the Divine Fire Sect was very brilliant; according to Little Bai, it was difficult for even the Divine Realm to track.

However, for the sake of safety, Zhao Xing still arranged for them to create more confusing routes; even if something bad really happened, they could delay for more time.

"Fu Mengzhen, you lead the way," Zhao Xing looked at the faint mist around him and let Fu Mengzhen lead the last part of the road.

The map mist was a feature of the Bone Yin Realm, just like the underworld in the Profound Yellow Realm back then; one needed a specific route to know how to walk.

According to Fu Mengzhen, the Divine Realm had public territories, and some were hidden.

Since the Bone Yin Realm was formed more than three hundred years ago, the public Divine Realm territories she knew were just these two places.

"Yes," Fu Mengzhen was still in a dazed state; the Dao Heart Confusion Medicine that Wei Tianchen gave her had not yet recovered.

Looking at the interface, Fu Mengzhen's realm, Qi luck, spells, etc., were also abnormal.

At this time, Zhao Xing also installed the Divine Bone of the God of Qi Luck, Xue Rui. Over the next few months, they passed through the mist safely.

One day, they passed through the last piece of mist, and suddenly heaven and earth became clear.

Under their feet, it was no longer a barren ground without vitality, but green grass appeared.

【You have arrived at Yu Mo Prefecture, coordinates, Southeast of Bone Yin Realm, Heavenly Pivot 42, Earth-Hidden 5, Yu God 52.】

【Yu God 'Mo Yuan' preached in the Profound Yellow Realm, created Yu Mo Cave Heaven, and seized heaven's secrets for fifty-two years.】

"Hmm?" Zhao Xing looked at this coordinate prompt and couldn't help but be surprised. Why did another such prompt appear?

"It seems this Yu God Mo Yuan is also a character. Assuming the new Profound Yellow Realm is a version, this Yu God Mo Yuan is also an important character in the version. However, he and Yuan should not be on the same level," Zhao Xing thought.

Just then, the bone of Zhao Xing's left hand suddenly became hot.

The red jade thumb ring he was wearing suddenly emitted a slight vibration.

"Bo~"

As if a stone had fallen into a calm water surface.

Zhao Xing's whole body shook.

The red jade thumb ring had actually been unsealed!
