Chapter 507

"What is he saying?" Venerable Bamboo Sword asked.

"I don't understand." Wei Ling Tianchen shook his head. The skeleton giant had used the vibration of its true spirit to make sound, but even the erudite Wei Ling Tianchen had never heard this language.

"Capture him first and let Zhao Xing ask."

Venerable Bamboo Sword transformed three of his ribs into sword light, piercing into the skeleton giant's skull, with the sword tips aimed at the true spirit fire seed, making it instantly afraid to move. Then he glanced at Zhao Xing: "You may ask your questions."

The skeleton giant's true spirit fire seed pulsed incessantly: Heavens, I was already invincible in the Yanfang territory; how could there be someone even more terrifying than him...

Zhao Xing felt it was very strange when he heard the other party speak, because the language the creature used was not any language of the Profound Yellow World that he knew. But it was somewhat similar to Dragon Language, only the creature's Dragon Language gave him a very clumsy feeling. It was like an underdeveloped Dragon Language system.

Dragon Language is a magic incantation, possessing a certain power that can pierce through the obstacles of certain Daos, but when the creature spoke, it was mobilizing its true spirit fire seed and the power of white bones.

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment, then simulated the vibration frequency of the creature's true spirit fire seed to emit Dragon Language:

"Who are you? What place is this? Which prefecture does it belong to? You have the physique of a human race; why do you speak Dragon Language?"

The creature was clearly stunned for a moment after hearing this. Zhao Xing thought it hadn't understood, so he repeated it again.

When he spoke the second time, both the rhythm and the mobilization of the bone power were much closer to the creature's pattern.

"Junior 'Bai Junlan', this is the Yanfang territory. Yes, I am of the human race; of course, we speak Dragon Language."

Zhao Xing continued to inquire: "Which prefecture does the Yanfang territory belong to? Why should we 'of course' speak Dragon Language?"

Bai Junlan was somewhat confused; he seemed not to understand what Zhao Xing meant.

"Senior, the Yanfang territory is part of the Bone Yin Realm."

"We speak Dragon Language because only two types of true incantations can produce specific sounds. One is the Dragon Race true incantation, and the other is the White Bone true incantation. Otherwise, one can only transmit thoughts through the fire seed."

"Do you know who is currently wielding the Human Emperor Sword and the Heavenly Mandate Book in the Central Plains Divine Continent?"

"Senior, I don't understand." Bai Junlan indicated that he didn't understand.

"You've at least heard of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, right?" Zhao Xing began to doubt reality.

"No." Bai Junlan seemed to think very carefully: "I really haven't paid attention, and neither has the Southern Gradual Continent."

Zhao Xing's doubts deepened. Bai Junlan was a Sixth-Tribulation True Spirit, so he couldn't be considered weak; how could he have never heard of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

"Is Senior talking about some mortal dynasty in the Yang Realm? Perhaps it's just that I haven't heard of it," Bai Junlan answered cautiously.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Xing suddenly noticed that Bai Junlan's words were not quite right. "Yang Realm?"

"Isn't that what Senior was asking about?"

"Then what place is this?"

"This is, of course, the Bone Yin Realm."

"Yin Realm?!" Zhao Xing never expected that this was actually the underworld. Could it be that the location of the Calamity-Free White Bone Divine Domain is in the underworld? Then wouldn't the three of them be dead? That doesn't make sense.

Bai Junlan discovered that these three seemed to know nothing, like some reclusive old seniors who had suddenly arrived here, so he had to patiently explain from the beginning: "Three hundred and forty-two years ago, heaven and earth underwent a great change. The southern part of the Profound Yellow Continent was shrouded by a polar moon. All who saw the polar moon had their cultivation base completely drained, and their flesh and blood ceased to exist."

"The light of the Yin Moon assimilated the Yin soil, and all living beings were affected. It even merged with the Yin Realm of the Southern Continent, which was responsible for the reincarnation of living beings. From then on, the living beings of the Southern Continent no longer reincarnated; they all took on this white-boned appearance."

"And after death, one would at most become a ghost, and would not be further annihilated."

"Therefore, the place that belongs exclusively to the Southern Continent of the Profound Yellow Continent is called the Bone Yin Realm."

"However, the memory I have preserved is limited; perhaps it's just that I haven't heard of the Great Zhou Dynasty—"

Zhao Xing understood a part of it. The Yin Realm of the Profound Yellow World corresponds to the specific location of the Yang Realm. Now, this Yang Realm area of the Southern Continent has been refined and merged with the Yin Realm.

The Bone God Yuan created the Calamity-Free White Bone Divine Domain three hundred and forty-two years ago, but at this time, Bai Junlan seemed not to know of Yuan's existence, attributing this unknown cause to the "great change in heaven and earth."

Assuming the Southern Continent is where the Southern Wilderness is located, then where did the original Wu and the Southern Wilderness sects go?

Taking advantage of Zhao Xing's contemplation, Bai Junlan asked cautiously: "Did Senior just enter the Bone Yin Realm?"

"I was originally a person of the Yang Realm; perhaps my sect elders had dealings with Senior."

Zhao Xing came back to his senses and asked: "Which sect do you belong to?"

"The Divine Fire Sect. Junior is the thirty-ninth generation elder of the sect."

"Never heard of it."

Bai Junlan was somewhat embarrassed.

Zhao Xing continued to inquire: "Listening to you, you came to the Bone Yin Realm voluntarily, and there are many of you?"

"Yes." Bai Junlan nodded: "Although the entire Southern Continent has become the Bone Yin Realm, there are many benefits here."

"True spirits can grow here without having to undergo the heavenly tribulation."

"And one can absorb the Soul Crystals here, or forge a bone body with Bone Spirit Stones, and can even discover some magical medicinal herbs. There are many benefits."

"It is rumored that some have become divine realms here, eventually regenerating flesh and blood, and returning to the Yang Realm."

"Junior is nearing the end of his lifespan and is skilled in the Li Fire Array, so I was sent here by the Divine Venerable to investigate and collect treasures and more secrets."

"There are eight other fellow elders who abandoned their flesh bodies to come here with me."

Zhao Xing looked at a fur bag at his feet, which contained many diamond-shaped crystals. These crystals made one feel a certain craving.

Next, he asked Bai Junlan a few more questions, and only then did he jump down and return to the side of Wei Ling Tianchen and Bamboo Sword.

"How is it?" Wei Ling Tianchen's true spirit emitted fluctuations.

"He doesn't know much either, only that this is a place called the Yanfang territory, and the Yanfang territory is ruled by a monarch named 'Great Emperor Luofu'." Zhao Xing weighed the crystal core in his hand; it seemed as if a fire seed was pulsing inside.

"They mainly hunt other white-boned life forms to obtain Soul Crystals."

"Soul Crystals are native to the 【Soul Well】 and can also be obtained from other white-boned life forms."

"It is rumored that absorbing enough Soul Crystals and Bone Spirit Stones can lead to godhood, and one can strengthen the true spirit and bone body without undergoing tribulation. Eventually, one can resurrect, regenerate flesh and blood, and leave this place."

Venerable Bamboo Sword did not express an opinion, but Wei Ling Tianchen was shocked after learning this, his fire seed pulsing incessantly.

"The Soul Well gestates white-boned life, replacing the cycle of life."

"Soul Crystals and Bone Spirit Stones replace the absorption of spiritual energy, without consuming the origin of the Great Dao of heaven and earth."

"No tribulations, the White Bone Divine Domain operates eternally, immortal and indestructible, proving the Great Dao of heaven and earth. Is this proving the realm of the Divine King?"

"Or has it already become a Divine King?"

"Zhao Xing, your old home is truly extraordinary. No wonder a person like Qing Qing Yu Zi, who is like a grass chicken, could fly onto a branch and become a phoenix. Hahahaha!"

Wei Ling Tianchen originally looked down on a Free Divine Realm like Qing Qing Yu Zi, thinking it was just luck! Now that he had also come here, he looked down on Qing Qing Yu Zi even more.

With such a great opportunity before him, Qing Qing Yu Zi actually failed to grasp it and had to spend such great risks to hitch a ride on the resurrection ceremony of the Dongyan Ancient Clan. He is simply a piece of trash.

Venerable Bamboo Sword also realized the huge opportunity here. For someone at his realm, the true spirit tribulation was originally a huge crisis, but here, one could actually skip the tribulation and still have the true spirit leap forward significantly?

Could the path to godhood he had painstakingly sought be realized here?

Zhao Xing was not so optimistic. He always felt that this Calamity-Free White Bone Divine Domain was a bit suspicious, and the new changes in the Profound Yellow World were too great. Assuming that becoming a god was so simple, then how strong must 'Yuan', who created the Calamity-Free White Bone Divine Domain, be?

He carefully questioned Bai Junlan and found that what he said were all rumors; no one had ever really seen a divine realm that had walked out of the Bone Yin Realm.

If things went wrong, they were all just tools and fuel for some big shots to prove their Dao!

"What about him?" Venerable Bamboo Sword pointed at Bai Junlan.

"Since we've already asked clearly, let's kill him." Wei Ling Tianchen said lightly, "Doesn't he have companions? If the sect behind him has a divine realm, killing him will save us trouble."

Bamboo Sword did not act, but looked at Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing did not expect Bamboo Sword to still respect his opinion: "I think we should keep him. He can lead the way and is more familiar with the place. Moreover, he can use fire arrays for teleportation; he is a rare talent."

Although Bai Junlan did not know what they were communicating, through some subtle actions and fire seed fluctuations, he roughly deduced that it was only after Zhao Xing finished speaking that Venerable Bamboo Sword pulled the sword out of his skull.

So he bowed gratefully to Zhao Xing: "Thank you, Senior, for sparing me." "Otherwise, I would have to be reborn in the Soul Well." "If I 'die' once, I will lose some of my memories."

In the White Bone Divine Domain, there is no such thing as death. If you die, you will come back to life from the Soul Well, but you will lose power and memory. The specifics depend on how heavy the attack was.

Next, Wei Ling Tianchen and Venerable Bamboo Sword discussed together and decided to hand the Soul Crystals to Zhao Xing to absorb.

This was to verify whether what Bai Junlan said was true.

And after Zhao Xing absorbed three hundred third-stage Soul Crystals, a transformation actually occurred.

【Name: Zhao Xing】

【Profession: Si Nong】

【Realm: Third-Tribulation True Spirit (Primordial Split Soul, 96-fold amplification)】

【Bone Body: Star Dao Bone (3000/10000)】

【Bone Power: Third Stage (14/1000)】

"Excluding the fact that the world inside my body is still in a sealed state, my magic power and a small portion of my spells have returned, only the magic power flows within the bone body, and the spells have also undergone corresponding adjustments." Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised. He really hadn't undergone a tribulation, yet his true spirit had become so much stronger.

Could it be that one can really achieve the Divine Realm by absorbing Soul Crystals?

Equally happy were Wei Ling Tianchen and Bamboo Sword; they clearly felt that Zhao Xing's true spirit had become stronger.

Since this method was feasible, they also had a chance to break through here!

"Senior, you cannot absorb higher-level fourth-stage Soul Crystals anymore, because the bone body needs corresponding advancement, and there are no fourth-stage Bone Spirit Stones here."

"The bone body is equivalent to a fire seed container."

"Whether it is Dao Bone or Golden Body Bone, one must obtain the corresponding bone body to succeed." Bai Junlan said.

Zhao Xing asked suspiciously: "My two subordinates, both of their true spirits far exceed their bone bodies, and there's no problem."

"Your two subordinates must have felt strong suppression." Bai Junlan said respectfully: "Their strength cannot be fully exerted."

"So that's how it is." Zhao Xing suddenly understood.

The combat power of Wei Ling Tianchen and Bamboo Sword now was far inferior to when they had flesh bodies; the reason actually appeared here.

"In that case, the desolate mountain area we came to is the boundary between the Bone Yin Realm and the Yang Realm?"

"Yes, that is the forbidden zone, the Linked Yin Mountain. Only entry is allowed, no exit." Bai Junlan said, "Heading southeast means abandoning the flesh body and voluntarily entering the Bone Yin Realm." "If you want to go back and return to the Yang Realm, you need the strength of a divine realm."

Zhao Xing: "The Divine Fire Sect sent you here; isn't that a one-way ticket, with no return?"

"Not entirely." Bai Junlan pointed to the fire pit, "The Bone Yin Realm merged with the Yin Realm and possesses the characteristics of the Yin Realm."

"The Sect Master can burn some things to send to us, and we can also transmit some things back, but the cost is huge. Usually, we only transmit some news back."

Zhao Xing looked at the leaping flames of the fire pit. It seems the Divine Fire Sect is also not simple. With a divine realm sitting in command, it is still able to break some of the restrictions of the Calamity-Free White Bone Divine Domain.

It is just like the Great Emperor's Hunyuan Dao Tower, which can prevent his inner world from collapsing.

"In that case, the Bone God 'Yuan' should not have reached the Calamity-Free Divine King realm yet." Zhao Xing thought to himself. He had learned a lot of knowledge from Wei Ling Tianchen.

Wei Ling Tianchen scoffed at a Free Divine Realm like Qing Qing Yu Zi, but he held the Calamity-Free True God in high regard, especially the Divine King who proved the Dao through heaven and earth; the gold content was simply not comparable to that of a so-called Free Divine King.

Zhao Xing asked him to give specific examples, and this fellow brought up Qing Qing Yu Zi.

He said that he held a divine object and was not afraid of Qing Qing Yu Zi, who had just become a god, but any Calamity-Free True God who proved the Dao through heaven and earth could make him unable to exert the power of the divine object.

Free Divine Realm tribulation crossing pursues the limitlessness of one's own strength, while Calamity-Free True God pursues being of the same origin as heaven and earth and controlling the world.

The former cannot limit the power of his divine object, but the latter can.

The vast majority of divine objects are magic treasures stained with the aura of the divine realm, and they also refer to the Calamity-Free True God, not the Free Divine Realm. Because the aura of the Free Divine Realm does not leak out.

"Zhao Xing, let this skeleton lead the way." Wei Ling Tianchen held a map, which was contributed by Bai Junlan, a map made from the bones of some giant beast.

"Where to?" Zhao Xing asked.

"To do what they do." Wei Ling Tianchen pointed at the map and chuckled: "The Yanfang territory is controlled by a monarch named Luofu. His White Bone Kingdom still has many such tribal territories."

"Low-stage Soul Crystals are useless to me and Bamboo Sword; only high-stage ones will do."

"If I can become a Free Divine King first, perhaps I can find a way to contact Fan Qianrou's restriction sooner, and you and I can settle our grievances sooner."

"Can one become a Free Divine King first?" Zhao Xing was curious.

"Bamboo Sword can't, but I can." Wei Ling Tianchen said, "The two paths of proving the Dao through heaven and earth and proving the Dao through the self, although they have strict restrictions, I have retained multiple-life dharma bodies. I can let a clone prove the Dao first and become a Free Divine King, while the true self completes the proving of the Dao through heaven and earth."

Zhao Xing secretly noted this down. He couldn't help but think of what he had done in the Annihilation Star Corridor and the Haitong Ancient Road.

If Wei Ling Tianchen's core of proving the Dao through heaven and earth is to kill gods with poison and return the Dao to heaven.

Then, can solving the problem of the Overlapping Boundary Mountain and reconstructing the Yin-Yang Twin Star Illusion of the Annihilation Star Corridor serve as a method for Si Nong to prove the Dao through heaven and earth?

"No wonder my Dharma theory is so highly valued; even the demigods of the Primordial Hill were willing to dispatch several people to rescue me." Zhao Xing only now understood the true gold content of his Dharma theory.

Venerable Bamboo Sword's cultivation does not seek outward, but infinitely improves the control over the origin of the sword Dao; this is a martial artist's way of proving the Dao.

Wei Ling Tianchen's core as a concept is to save heaven and earth, treating the divine realm as parasites. Although a bit outrageous, it also fits his path as a physician.

Is Si Nong solving the desolate environment as a condition for proving the Dao?

"I am only a Third-Tribulation True Spirit now, not even a demigod, and I don't have this qualification yet." Zhao Xing immediately stopped thinking about this problem. "First, strive to improve the true spirit."

"Wei Ling Tianchen and Bamboo Sword want to sweep through the rest of the life in the White Bone Divine Domain to obtain Soul Crystals and Bone Spirit Stones; I happen to need them too."

He acted as a translator, letting Bai Junlan lead them to another territory under the Great Emperor Luofu to hunt those white-boned creatures.

"Little Bai, we are going to rob; where do you think is suitable?"

Bai Junlan: "Senior, my fire-element array can only lead to the 'Fugu Territory' first. That is a gathering place with many powerhouses, and there is no shortage of high-stage Soul Crystals. There are also innately powerful Dao Bones and Golden Bones, but it is just a bit dangerous."

Zhao Xing laughed: "I'm not afraid of many powerhouses, only of few. You just lead the way. My subordinates are very powerful. If there is a harvest, you will definitely get your share."

Bai Junlan could only agree helplessly. He pointed to the fire pit, and then his whole body's bones turned bright red.

The flames also changed from red to a cold green, suddenly growing stronger, and a passage appeared.

"Senior, this is the road to the Fugu Territory."
