Chapter 506: True Spirit Transformation, Tribulation-Free Bone God Domain
Wei Ling Tianchen asked Zhao Xing to lead the way, but the problem was that Zhao Xing didn't know where he was either. The panel coordinates only showed a large map, indicating this was the Profound Yellow Realm, but the specific location was missing.
Originally, this wouldn't have been a problem. With the small size of the Nineteen Prefectures, a scan with the Dharma Eye would have revealed everything; even small spaces like Blessed Lands couldn't have escaped the Dharma Eye.
However, the current Profound Yellow Realm was suspicious, and even Bamboo Sword and Wei Ling Tianchen had their strength restricted, let alone Zhao Xing.
"Let's go down the mountain first and find someone to ask where we are." Zhao Xing said. "Which side do you two think we should walk toward?"
Bamboo Sword: "Northwest."
Wei Ling Tianchen: "Southeast."
Venerable Bamboo Sword and Wei Ling Tianchen had a disagreement again.
Wei wanted to go to the southeast; he felt that going that way would increase the chances of encountering experts, and there would be more hope of clarifying the situation in the Profound Yellow Realm.
Venerable Bamboo Sword didn't want to go to the southeast; the four swords he flew out earlier indicated that he would be severely suppressed in the southeast.
"You can't unify your opinions; how are we supposed to walk?" Zhao Xing shook his head inwardly.
Venerable Bamboo Sword just wanted to complete the agreement, while Wei wanted to find a safe place. Once his and Zhao Xing's business was settled, Bamboo Sword intended to take Zhao Xing and leave.
But now that they had arrived, it was very unsafe, so he felt Wei Ling Tianchen was lying to him.
Zhao Xing's demands were different again; he wanted to get rid of both Bamboo Sword and Wei Ling Tianchen.
Wei Ling Tianchen, on the other hand, wanted both; coming to the Profound Yellow Realm wasn't just to lift the Heart-Sealing Method, but also to explore the secrets of Qing Qing Yu Zi becoming a god.
However, the three of them temporarily had one point of agreement, which was "safety".
Without guaranteeing safety, everything was empty talk.
The desolate mountains were endless, and he couldn't see the end at a glance. There wasn't a single blade of grass or tree.
The sky was gloomy, and the yin wind blew, making people feel panicked.
Bamboo Sword and Wei Ling Tianchen were deadlocked, and finally, Wei Ling Tianchen compromised first: "How about listening to Zhao Xing?"
Venerable Bamboo Sword acquiesced.
But in the time it took to do that, the two discovered that Zhao Xing had actually sat down on the spot to cultivate under the influence of the Enlightenment Golden Hoop.
Actually, Zhao Xing wasn't cultivating, but summoning.
"Back when I was before ascending, I left behind quite a few 'divine artifacts', such as the Kun Yuan Hoe. I don't know if I can summon them, and what their quality is now."
The Kun Yuan Hoe was only at the level of a Star Dao Soldier when Zhao Xing first retrieved it from the Dragon Court. After the manual spiritual energy recovery, it reached the level of a Boundary Star Dao Soldier.
The Profound Yellow Realm's spiritual energy recovered, and some original treasures and rare items also upgraded accordingly. This was a characteristic of the treasures of the Profound Yellow Realm.
"In Wang Wang Tianzhi's exposition, two thousand five hundred years after we left, the Human Emperor Sword and Heaven's Mandate Book left behind by Ji Che, the Heaven and Earth Seed Soldier Scripture left behind by Liu Liu Tianning, and the Heaven and Earth Furnace left behind by Great Si Gong Lu Ying had all appeared in the world, and large-scale upgrades had occurred."
"I, this Great Si Nong, left behind even more things. Besides the Kun Yuan Hoe, there were the Earth Emperor Tripod, the Ancient Yin Warship, the Divine Court Solar Terms Order, the Dragon Court Code—"
Zhao Xing believed that since the Profound Yellow Realm had upgraded as a whole, the things left behind before might have become true divine artifacts!
"Yu~~"
A tremor suddenly surged in his heart. From a very distant southeast direction, a faint sense of familiarity came.
"Is this the Kun Yuan Hoe? Or something else?"
Zhao Xing wasn't sure, because he had left behind many things. This fluctuation was somewhat unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar, so he couldn't determine it.
He tried summoning, and discovered the fluctuation became a bit stronger. This slight difference proved one point: his summoning was effective, but it was too far away, or restricted in some way, and it was moving very slowly.
"Hiss~" Venerable Bamboo Sword burned Zhao Xing with his heart-sword, pulling him back from the influence of the Enlightenment Golden Hoop.
"Since we're listening to you, let's walk toward the southeast."
Venerable Bamboo Sword frowned, but since he had agreed to let Zhao Xing decide, he didn't refute it again.
To be cautious, the three chose the most primitive method: flying using wind-controlling spells.
Wei Ling Tianchen led the way, holding a divine object called "Yuan Wheel". According to him, this divine object could hide aura and karma, and it was an important divine object he used to avoid pursuit.
The Yuan Wheel was shaped like a flat golden bowl, and the three of them stood inside it, flying with the Yuan Wheel.
Only ten breaths passed, and the problem came.
Wei Ling Tianchen: "Something's wrong."
Zhao Xing: "What's wrong?"
Wei Ling Tianchen: "Although the Yuan Wheel's main function is concealment, its speed shouldn't be slow. We flew for ten breaths, and actually only flew ten thousand miles!"
Zhao Xing was somewhat puzzled: "Isn't it because you intentionally controlled it to be so slow?"
"No, that's not it."
Wei Ling Tianchen suddenly put away the Yuan Wheel, and then drove it with magic power, flying with his physical body.
He flew for another ten breaths and stopped again.
At this time, Venerable Bamboo Sword's expression was very grave.
"Something's wrong."
Zhao Xing was somewhat puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Venerable Bamboo Sword took a deep breath:
"Wei Ling Tianchen's divine object has been driven to the limit, yet its speed can still only be ten thousand miles per breath."
"Flying with spells is even slower."
Zhao Xing: "You were suppressed?"
Venerable Bamboo Sword took a deep breath: "The problem is that neither Wei Ling Tianchen nor I feel any actual suppression. The tests we just did were all done at our own limit speeds."
"Whether flying with spells, flying with swords, or using divine objects to carry us, the limit speed is constant, which is ten thousand miles per breath."
Wei Ling Tianchen explained with a grave expression: "It seems the laws of heaven and earth in this world have stipulated that ten thousand miles per breath is the fastest speed. Demigods, divine objects, magic power levels, or high or low flying spells make no difference."
"Assuming it was you flying, you could also reach ten thousand miles per breath."
"Do you understand now?"
Zhao Xing understood: "In terms of limit speed, there is no longer a difference between demigods and Emperor-level beings. If I fly, I can also reach the limit speed. Using one part of magic power to fly and using ten parts of magic power to fly both result in ten thousand miles per breath."
"Yes, that's how it is." Venerable Bamboo Sword nodded. After a pause, he couldn't help but say: "But how can it be like this?"
The difference between demigods and Emperor-level beings was more than just a little bit, yet now they were forcibly pulled to the same starting line.
At least in terms of flying speed, they were the same!
Wei Ling Tianchen muttered: "A Free God cannot change heaven and earth; only a Tribulation-Free True God can control heaven and earth."
"Using the Yuan Wheel is still affected. Could it be that there is a Tribulation-Free God King in the Profound Yellow Realm?"
"What kind of place is this—"
Zhao Xing saw obvious fear on Wei Ling Tianchen's face for the first time.
He still remembered that when this person snatched him the first time, he knew Zhao Xing had Qing Qing Yu Zi's protection, yet he still took action. He even boasted that if Qing Qing Yu Zi came, he might not necessarily be afraid of Qing Qing Yu Zi.
Wei Ling Tianchen had many divine objects, so at that time, he naturally didn't have to take the newly ascended Qing Qing Yu Zi seriously.
But if it were a Tribulation-Free God King who proved the Dao through Heaven and Earth, that would be a different matter. No matter how many divine objects Wei Ling Tianchen had, he would be nothing more than an ant.
Venerable Bamboo Sword swung a sword energy, and he also felt that his sword Dao hadn't been weakened in the slightest, yet it only shaved off a small mountain top and stopped.
"My sword Dao, how could it become like this..."
A Fourteen-Tribulation Medical Venerable and an Eleven-Tribulation Sword Venerable were both feeling fear at this moment.
As the saying goes, the more one knows, the more one is in awe. On the contrary, it was Zhao Xing who was fearless because of his ignorance. He didn't have a shred of panic.
"Two seniors, even if there really is some powerful god here, you two have seen enough, so stop being afraid."
Venerable Bamboo Sword: "Your cultivation realm is low, so you cannot understand. The origin of sword Dao is everywhere and exists in everything. Even if I am suppressed, I should be able to feel where the suppression is. But now I feel nothing, and the sword Dao origin I sense hasn't changed in the slightest. Yet a full-strength sword strike can only shave off a hundred-meter mountain."
Zhao Xing could feel that Venerable Bamboo Sword's Dao heart had collapsed to a certain extent. It seemed the suppression toward the southeast direction was indeed very severe.
"I am low in cultivation realm, but I know we still have to keep moving forward. Let them be strong; the breeze brushes the mountain ridge."
"Let's fly at the speed of ten thousand miles per breath. You two are both demigods; this world couldn't possibly be full of Divine Realm beings everywhere. It won't be that easy for us to encounter danger."
Wei Ling Tianchen seemed to be the first to come to his senses: "You're right. It's us who were obsessed."
"The old man thought he had long been prepared to die; it seems my awareness still isn't deep enough."
"Proving the Dao through Heaven and Earth, hehe, I must take a good look."
Venerable Bamboo Sword also quickly made adjustments. He put away his bamboo sword and didn't even release sword energy.
According to Wei's method, he was on the path of a Free God, not seeking outside, so he simply stopped sensing the outside world and guarded his spirit with his heart-sword.
In this way, he felt much better. Although he was still in awe, he was no longer afraid.
Before they had traveled far, the new Profound Yellow Realm taught the two demigods a lesson.
"Let me lead the way."
Zhao Xing cast Azure Flower magic power, riding the clouds and mist, and continued flying toward the southeast.
The actual situation was indeed as Wei Ling Tianchen and Bamboo Sword had said: whether spending a thread of magic power or countless magic power, the limit speed was ten thousand miles per breath.
Zhao Xing adapted to this change very quickly. He had experienced becoming a complete mortal during the "Absolute Heaven and Earth Communication" instance; what was this compared to that?
Before long, he found a balance point.
About three threads of Azure Flower magic power were enough to cast the cloud-riding spell to reach the speed of ten thousand miles per breath. Any more was a waste, and any less would reduce the speed.
They flew like this for about a month, and the sky gradually became dim. Finally, after four months, they completely entered eternal night.
Zhao Xing was also somewhat puzzled.
"Is this really the Profound Yellow Realm?"
"Flying at full speed for a month, yet we still haven't flown out of the mountain range, and instead entered an eternal night area?"
"Besides the Extreme West Prefecture, where does an eternal night area exist in the Profound Yellow Realm?"
"For a month, I haven't seen the sun. It's either gray cloud layers or polar night."
"The earth veins have no laws at all, and it's impossible to judge the specific direction."
"The sensing of the local divine artifact has gotten a bit closer. But I walked for a month, and the sensing only strengthened by less than one ten-thousandth. Just how far away is it?"
Zhao Xing was also extremely puzzled by the changes in the new Profound Yellow Realm. Not to mention comparing it to his own cognition, even compared to the situation described by Wang Wang Tianzhi many years ago, there was a huge difference. Calling it unrecognizable wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"Must find someone, must find someone to ask, only then can we know what happened. The Great Zhou Divine Dynasty still occupies the precious land of the Central Earth Divine Continent, and Empress Ji Luohang rules the Nineteen Prefectures. As long as we can find a cultivator to ask, we will definitely know about the Great Zhou. As long as we can return to the Great Zhou and establish contact with Old Wang..."
"Ah—"
Just as he was thinking, suddenly, Wei Ling Tianchen clutched his head and screamed.
He fell directly onto his cloud layer, as if he had encountered immense pain.
Wei Ling Tianchen's actions startled Zhao Xing.
"You, what's wrong with you?"
Wei Ling Tianchen couldn't die; the Enlightenment Golden Hoop was bound to him. Assuming Wei Ling Tianchen ceased to exist, this thing would self-destruct.
"Crack, crack, crack, crack~"
Just as he leaned down to check on Wei Ling Tianchen's situation, he discovered that a sound like "li-pa-la" was coming from Venerable Bamboo Sword's body, as if bones were rubbing against each other.
Zhao Xing looked back, and just then, a sparse moonlight shone through the pitch-black cloud layer.
He saw the flesh on Venerable Bamboo Sword's face falling off piece by piece, and the bone, flesh, tendons, and membranes were rapidly entangling and dissolving.
In the blink of an eye, only the skull remained, along with the true spirit fire seed jumping inside the skull.
Looking down again, the flesh on Wei Ling Tianchen's body was also dissolving inch by inch, and before long, he turned into a skeleton.
The only difference between him and Venerable Bamboo Sword was that Bamboo Sword's skeleton was dark gold.
Although the Sword Sect's physical body wasn't as strong as the Qi Sect's, they also had golden bodies, just not as perverted, because their golden bodies didn't fuse with their souls.
"Venerable Bamboo Sword, Old Imperial Physician, how are you—"
Before Zhao Xing could finish speaking, he discovered that the hand he was using to support Wei Ling Tianchen was also slowly turning into bone.
The flesh disappeared, slowly spreading from his fingers to his wrists, but his speed was very slow.
Venerable Bamboo Sword and Wei Ling Tianchen had both lost their flesh in an instant, as if something had sucked it away in a second.
"Venerable Bamboo Sword, Old Imperial Physician, my cultivation has been sucked away, and only the sword body remains." Venerable Bamboo Sword's true spirit fire seed jumped, looking blankly at his own skeletal palm. "I can no longer condense sword energy, I—am crippled."
Wei Ling Tianchen also climbed up at this time. He was still wearing his dharma robe, but he had shrunk a circle: "My flesh secret method has also disappeared, and only my ability to make medicine and practice poison remains."
Zhao Xing remembered that Wei Ling Tianchen had some kind of human flesh secret method. When he infiltrated the Rain Immortal Realm of the Profound Spirit Original Domain, he had used it.
"Cultivation sucked away?" Zhao Xing was suddenly shocked, and he immediately realized a serious problem.
The spell path certainly didn't value the physical body, but that depended on who it was.
The collapse of the dharma body didn't matter to the core of the Earth-Profit Sect's cultivation method, "Extreme Land". He had four Primordial clones left outside, one of which had already learned the 【Life Earth Palace】 method. After the physical body was re-conceived, the progress of Extreme Land could still be retained,
and re-cultivating Extreme Land wouldn't delay too much time.
The Heaven-Time Sect? Originally, there were no cultivation methods, and the spells were all linked to the true spirit. If the true spirit didn't perish, just the collapse of the dharma body wouldn't have any impact.
However, if the dharma body didn't exist, then the internal world wouldn't exist!
The internal world had to be re-cultivated, and he didn't have a second Boundary-Opening Divine Stone!
If the dharma body collapsed, the internal world would also explode, and the Dao soldiers, Hun Yuan Dao Tower, and these things would all be blown out.
The point was that the divine-level original seed hadn't been conceived yet and was about to "die in the womb"!
"Damn it!"
Master Zhao was also anxious.
He had risked his life to exchange the Boundary-Opening Divine Stone from Old Qing, which was how he had the scale of his internal world today.
"My dharma body cannot collapse; if it collapses, my internal world will collapse!" Zhao Xing was burning with anxiety, frantically driving his magic power, wanting to stop this collapse.
But the collapse of his dharma body was slower than Wei Ling Tianchen's and Venerable Bamboo Sword's, but it was spreading at a constant speed. Soon, the disappearance of flesh on his right hand reached his shoulder.
"No!"
Azure Flower magic power erupted from Zhao Xing, followed by a layer of Red Lotus magic power, and finally, the ethereal Cangming magic power.
But none of them seemed to have any effect, and the dharma body was still steadily collapsing.
As long as it spread to the Dantian, the internal world would completely disappear!
"Pop~"
As if an explosion had occurred, a burst of energy appeared in the Dantian.
The three layers of "Extreme Land" he had cultivated collapsed and vanished into thin air.
Following that was the internal world. It had originally been upgraded from pure yuan soil to a primordial space, and then transformed into an internal world, still having a boundary core with a physical entity.
Just as the boundary core was about to be reached by the spread, two forces were transmitted from the internal world. One was the Hun Yuan Dao Tower created by Emperor Chi Star, and the other was the divine-level original seed that had absorbed the power of the Boundary-Splitting Divine Stone.
"Yu~"
"Boom!"
"~"
The next moment, the vast magic power vanished into thin air, including the Azure Flower magic power, Red Lotus magic power, and Cangming magic power.
"Ah—"
Being instantly drained of magic power made Zhao Xing feel extreme weakness and pain.
Without magic power, he couldn't even maintain his cloud-riding.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Wei Ling Tianchen, Zhao Xing, and Venerable Bamboo Sword all fell toward the ground.
At the last moment before landing, Venerable Bamboo Sword's golden body suddenly erupted with a burst of light, wrapping Zhao Xing's skeletal body. "Thump!"
Wei Ling Tianchen, however, had a free fall, his bones scattered all over the ground.
"Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing, how do you feel?" Venerable Bamboo Sword shook the white skeleton.
"I'm not dead." Zhao Xing's true spirit fire seed jumped, transmitting his intent.
He quickly adapted to the new changes.
As for Wei Ling Tianchen, only the true spirit fire seed floated beside him, revealing his aged figure in the fire, looking silently at the skeleton on the ground: "Bamboo Sword, why didn't you save me?"
Bamboo Sword's true spirit flickered: "If you hadn't deceived me, how would I have ended up like this?"
Wei Ling Tianchen sighed, and had to ask Zhao Xing for help: "Zhao Xing, please help me piece my bones together."
Zhao Xing originally intended to pick up Wei Ling Tianchen's skeleton, but he saw a shining golden hoop beside him, and immediately stopped, turning to raise his middle finger: "Piece them together? Hmph, I'll piece your mother!"
Under this unknown change, the Enlightenment Golden Hoop had actually been taken off.
The true spirit fire seed was no longer wearing the golden hoop. Now Zhao Xing didn't have to worry about self-destructing if he left Wei Ling Tianchen!
Seeing Zhao Xing refuse, Wei Ling Tianchen controlled his true spirit to scatter into the bones, slowly squirming, and pieced himself together.
As a demigod who had experienced fourteen tribulations, his true spirit was incomparably powerful, and the true spirit fire seed was a brighter cluster than Bamboo Sword's and his own.
It was very clear that in this unknown change, this old thing adapted faster.
Wei Ling Tianchen even quickly took a set of new dharma robes from the thumb ring and put them on.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
Three skeletons with different-sized true spirit fire seeds sat cross-legged, adapting to the new changes.
【Name: Zhao Xing】
【Profession: Si Nong】
【Realm: One-Tribulation True Spirit (Primordial Split Soul, 96-fold amplification)】
【Bone Body: Star Dao Bone (0/10000)】
【Bone Power: First Stage (0/1000)】
【Internal World (Sealed)】
【Heart-Sealing Method (Abnormal)】
【Spells (Abnormal)】
【Bone God "Yuan" proved the Dao in the Profound Yellow Realm, created the Tribulation-Free Bone God Domain, and seized the heavenly opportunity for 342 years.】
Zhao Xing looked at the new changes on the panel and fell into deep thought.
The new changes contained too much information.
First, after experiencing the collapse of his physical body just now, he actually passed one tribulation and became a One-Tribulation True Spirit.
Second, the panel added a new type, namely 【Star Dao Bone】.
Magic power had disappeared, but there was an extra power called 【Bone Power】 flowing in the bones.
What was fortunate was that the internal world hadn't disappeared.
The boundary core had fused into the pelvis, but it was temporarily sealed, as if Emperor Chi Star's power and some Divine Realm existence were wrestling, finding a way to survive. It was just that Zhao Xing couldn't open the internal world anymore.
Due to the disappearance of magic power, all spells except for mind-will and soul-type spells were temporarily unusable.
The progress of the three types of magic power in the Heart-Sealing Method was still the original progress, but they couldn't be cast temporarily without a dharma body.
It was just that on the rib bone of his heart, there was actually a flame mark, which appeared after the heart disappeared.
It was a wisp of heart-lamp power left by Wu Tian.
"Wu Tian? The level of his heart-lamp power is actually this high?"
Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised.
However, at this time, he had no heart to investigate, because a sentence at the end of the panel attracted his attention:
"Bone God 'Yuan' proved the Dao in the Profound Yellow Realm, created the Tribulation-Free Bone God Domain, and seized the heavenly opportunity for 342 years. Bone God Yuan created the Tribulation-Free Bone God Domain?"
"So the Yuan Three Four Two shown on my coordinates refers to time? That's not right; coordinates have never shown time." Zhao Xing was somewhat puzzled.
But from this sentence, he could learn that Bone God "Yuan" had created the Tribulation-Free Bone God Domain in the Profound Yellow Realm for 342 years.
The changes that occurred to him, Venerable Bamboo Sword, and Wei Ling Tianchen should all be influenced by "Yuan's" Tribulation-Free Bone God Domain. Thinking of this, Zhao Xing immediately took a look at Wei Ling Tianchen and Venerable Bamboo Sword.
After a short period of pondering, these two people had already undergone great changes.
【Name: Wei Ling Tianchen】
【Realm: Fourteen-Tribulation True Spirit】
【Bone Body: Silver Moon Dao Bone (0/10000)】
【Bone Power: Third Stage (124/1000)】
【Spells: Bone Spirit Heaven Poison, Refining Divine Marrow, Ling Shu Nine Needles · Reversing Fate, Hundred Spirits Blood Burning Technique (Sealed), Li Heart Seed (Sealed), Old Xue Bone Scripture Ni Method, Three Corpses Pulse Diagnosis Decision, Tai Su Pulse Wheel】
【..】
"Most of Wei Ling Tianchen's spells have also been sealed, but he unsealed them so quickly. In just this short while, a small half of his spells have been unsealed."
"It seems he has already become familiar with the use of new power." Zhao Xing pondered.
In just a second, Wei Ling Tianchen unsealed a new spell.
Wei Ling Tianchen even picked up the Enlightenment Golden Hoop again, seemingly trying to chant a spell.
Zhao Xing's skull tightened; this old guy was up to no good again!
"No, I must also quickly unseal my spells and adapt to the new power."
Zhao Xing groped, and discovered that this was actually very simple. The use of Bone Power and magic power was not much different; it just changed from mobilizing magic power from a specific Dantian position to being able to mobilize Bone Power from anywhere in the bones, equivalent to the existence of countless Dantians.
As for Venerable Bamboo Sword, he was the fastest to adapt among the three.
【Venerable Bamboo Sword】
【Profession: Martial Artist (Sword Sect)】
【Realm: Twelve-Tribulation True Spirit】
【Bone Body: Silver Moon Golden Body (0/10000)】
【Bone Power: Third Stage (424/1000)】
【Martial Arts: Three Thousand Sword Realms (Sealed), Heart-Sword Technique, Great Thousand Sword Array (Qi), Great Thousand Sword Array (Artifact), Bright Moon Sword Body—·】
"He adapted even faster than Wei Ling Tianchen." Zhao Xing looked at his appearance. The bones emitted a faint starlight, the golden sword body turned white-gold, and the elbow bones and finger bones were like sharp swords.
Both were constantly adjusting and adapting. Venerable Bamboo Sword was clearly faster, and his Bone Power exceeded Wei Ling Tianchen's.
Bone God "Yuan" was clearly a martial arts Divine Realm being. Although Venerable Bamboo Sword was from the Sword Sect, he was also a martial artist.
He adapted faster in the God Domain.
"Whoosh~"
The Enlightenment Golden Hoop in front of Wei Ling Tianchen floated toward Zhao Xing's skull.
Venerable Bamboo Sword's fire seed jumped, and a rib bone on his body suddenly detached and flew out.
"Clang!"
The Enlightenment Golden Hoop and the rib bone collided, emitting a burst of light in the night sky.
The rib bone flew back and re-embedded itself in its original position.
The golden hoop deformed and returned to Wei Ling Tianchen's hand.
"Crack, crack, crack~"
Three rib bones detached again, wandering around Zhao Xing.
Wei Ling Tianchen took out a new divine object from his storage ring. It looked like a piece of silk, but it was very long, like silk,
hanging down from Wei Ling Tianchen's shoulder.
The Enlightenment Golden Hoop flew toward Zhao Xing again, while the silk-like divine object flew toward Venerable Bamboo Sword's three rib bones.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
The red silk flashed with light, shaking Venerable Bamboo Sword's rib bones away.
Both wanted to obtain control over Zhao Xing.
Because Zhao Xing involved their hopes of becoming a god.
Wei Ling Tianchen needed to open the Seven-Star Cabinet and use the poison inside to complete his plan of proving the Dao through Heaven and Earth.
Venerable Bamboo Sword hoped Zhao Xing would fulfill his promise to take him to the Ten Directions Mountain.
"Pop!"
After the third collision, Venerable Bamboo Sword fell into a disadvantage.
Although he was stronger than Wei Ling Tianchen in combat power, the other party had many treasures.
After the third collision, the Enlightenment Golden Hoop fell on Zhao Xing's head again.
Venerable Bamboo Sword snorted coldly, and had no choice but to put the rib bones back in their original places.
In the struggle for control over Zhao Xing, he still lost to Wei Ling Tianchen.
Watching the Enlightenment Golden Hoop fall again, Zhao Xing sighed helplessly.
He was trapped by this old guy again. Even in a dangerous situation, he couldn't forget Fan Qianrou's Heart-Sealing Method; he was truly persistent.
However, Zhao Xing didn't have much of a struggle either, and he was in Bone God Yuan's Tribulation-Free Bone God Domain.
Separating from Wei Ling Tianchen wasn't necessarily a good thing.
This old guy had many treasures; if he were by his side, the safety factor would be much higher.
"@#%" Wei Ling Tianchen started chanting a spell, trying to see if the Enlightenment Golden Hoop was effective.
"Hiss~" Zhao Xing's fire seed jumped wildly, and his true spirit felt a burst of headache. "Old Imperial Physician, stop chanting; it was my fault just now."
Wei Ling Tianchen ignored him, seemingly wanting to teach Zhao Xing a lesson.
"Damn, Wei Ling Tianchen, if you chant again, I'll self-destruct!"
Red Lotus flames ignited on Zhao Xing's body.
In just this short while, he had actually adjusted, and his Bone Power was attached with the characteristics of Red Lotus magic power.
"Since the Profound Yellow Realm has the magnificent power of the Divine Realm, it proves that this place is different from other Desolate Domains. This place absolutely possesses the conditions for resurrection!"
"I have made huge contributions to the two great ancient Daos of the Empire. With my merits, do you think I can possess the right to resurrection?"
"If you push me too far, I'll self-destruct, and you will never get Fan Qianrou's sealing object!"
These words made Wei Ling Tianchen calm down, and he didn't take action again.
"Zhao Xing, I said as long as you give me her method, I will let you go. You know what this means to me; don't force me."
"I know, I know!" Zhao Xing said angrily: "Who cares about that broken method? If it weren't for the divine power restriction—I would have taught it to you long ago."
Wei Ling Tianchen didn't say anything else; he knew he couldn't force Zhao Xing too much. But he wasn't as polite to Bamboo Sword.
"Bamboo Sword, this is my last warning. Zhao Xing involves my plan to become a god. If you dare to block me again, you are blocking my Dao, and you will be my enemy until one of us dies."
"You are just a loose cultivator and don't have the chance for resurrection. Although your sword technique is superb, if I am willing to sacrifice divine objects, killing you won't be difficult."
Venerable Bamboo Sword didn't respond, and no one knew what he was thinking.
But his first collision with Wei Ling Tianchen ended with Wei Ling Tianchen occupying an absolute advantage.
Zhao Xing knew that it was impossible to rely on Bamboo Sword to free himself for the time being. Fortunately, Wei Ling Tianchen was still very useful at this time, so he wasn't in a hurry.
The Profound Yellow Realm was full of pits; he didn't believe Wei Ling Tianchen could walk sideways. He would always find a chance!
"Let's go. I see you two have adapted almost enough. According to the original plan, we will continue flying toward the southeast." Wei Ling Tianchen urged the two to set off.
In the dark night, starlight fell, dyeing the mountains. Next, the three didn't fly anymore, because after the change of skeletonization, they had arrived at a territory with vitality.
The desolate mountains had withered grass and trees, although they were withered, at least it proved that vitality had once existed.
Climbing over a mountain ridge, the swamp was filled with thick fog, emitting a corrosive smell. Giant withered bones looked like some prehistoric creatures, and distant roars seemed to come from afar.
Three skeletons crossed the poisonous fog swamp in the night, and after about three months, they finally saw something different.
"Fire! There's firelight ahead!"
The three saw a pillar of fire rising into the sky, spraying out with great regularity. It clearly wasn't a wildfire, but man-made.
After the three got closer and observed from a distant mountain ridge, they discovered that it was actually a giant fire pond radiating more than ten miles.
Around the fire pond were many skeletons, with different colors and shapes, but none had the aura of a true spirit fire seed.
Zhao Xing vaguely felt a sense of familiarity with this fire pond; it seemed he had seen it somewhere before.
Venerable Bamboo Sword also seemed to feel something unusual, and the true spirit fire seed in his skull became significantly active.
"There seems to be a person ahead." Wei Ling Tianchen's hand bone took out a copper mirror, reflecting the surroundings of the fire pond.
Around the fire pond, there was a fiery red giant skeleton about sixteen or seventeen meters tall. On its head and hand and foot bones, there were fiery red diamonds embedded, shining like the sun.
"He should also be a cultivator who has undergone some kind of transformation." Wei Ling Tianchen speculated: "However, his strength is not strong, about the level of a Six-Tribulation True Spirit."
"Then just go over and take him down?" Zhao Xing offered a price suggestion.
"Go directly." Wei Ling Tianchen and Venerable Bamboo Sword both expressed agreement.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, three skeletons ran over immediately.
That red skeleton giant was squatting by the fire pond, seemingly enjoying the warmth of the fire pond.
When Zhao Xing and the others came over, the other party neither panicked nor ran away.
Instead, he used a very familiar tone to say to the back: "You came too late. I have already killed all the people of the Yanfang Tribe. If you do this again, I will report it to the Divine Venerable."
"Hand over the 【Soul Crystal】 to you. I don't know how many more are needed to leave this ghost place. These third-stage soul crystals are not enough... wait, who are you?"
"Then should we go over directly and take it down?" Zhao Xing offered a suggestion.
"Go over directly." Both Wei Ling Tianchen and Venerable Bamboo Sword agreed.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—three skeletons immediately ran over.
That red-boned giant skeleton was squatting by the fire pit, seemingly enjoying the warmth it provided.
When the three of them—Zhao Xing and the others—approached, the creature neither panicked nor ran away.
Instead, it spoke to the people behind it in a very familiar tone: "You've come too late. I've already slaughtered all the people of the Yanfang tribe. If you do this again, I will report you to the Divine Venerable."
