"What did he say?"

"Bai Junlan is taking us to a place called Fugu Territory, which is a gathering place with many powerful white-boned life forms."

"That's all he said." Wei Ling Tianchen felt that Zhao Xing and Bai Junlan had said quite a lot. "You and he both looked at me and Bamboo Sword just now."

"Oh, I said that you two are my seniors, and with your protection, we absolutely don't have to fear any strong enemies, and we can rest assured to go and rob the Soul Crystals."

Bamboo Sword grabbed Bai Junlan, Wei Ling Tianchen grabbed Zhao Xing, and the four skeletons jumped into the fire pit, then traveled through the green fire.

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

"The Divine Fire Sect's array doesn't violate the speed limit of ten thousand miles in an instant." Bai Junlan said: "We travel through the fire pit, and still cannot exceed this limit, but from one fire pit to another, it significantly shortens the distance."

"Similar to the supernatural power of 'shrinking the earth into an inch'?"

"Yes."

"Little Bai, you also use fire; do you know the Li Fire Divine Sect?" Zhao Xing asked, "This sect also specializes in using fire, and they have built fire pits all over the world, using the Li Fire Altar to teleport."

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

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

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

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

"I believe in the Dragon God." Zhao Xing prevaricated casually.

"Dragon God? Is the Dragon God still alive?" Bai Junlan was somewhat dazed, "It is rumored that the Dragon God has fallen, and the Dragon Court has always been closed—"

Zhao Xing waved his hand, not intending to explain anything.

Through his conversation with Bai Junlan, he confirmed that the location of the Profound Yellow World had not changed, but the time node definitely did not match.

It is very likely that the Profound Yellow World has brushed a space-time copy, similar to the Transmission Boundary Tower.

"Yuan 342, if it is a space-time coordinate, then this makes sense."

"I, Wei Ling Tianchen, and Bamboo Sword, none of us know when we entered, which also feels a bit like entering the Transmission Boundary Tower."

"Are we reincarnating in space-time?"

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

"Whoosh~"

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

Zhao Xing, Bai Junlan, Wei Ling Tianchen, and Bamboo Sword walked out of another fire pit.

There were no other white-boned creatures around, and above them was a mountain wall; the fire pit was set inside a mountain cave.

"Senior, this is another fire pit set up by our Divine Fire Sect, only ten million miles away from the 'Fugu Wang Cheng' in the Fugu Territory."

"Fugu Wang Cheng is the largest city in the Fugu Territory. It is ruled by a king named 'Zhuo Ying', and there are seven Soul Wells inside."

"White Bone King, at the lowest, is a ninth-stage fire seed (true spirit), which is at the demigod level according to the division of the Profound Spirit Star Domain."

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

"Like me, I am a Bone General level, a sixth-stage fire seed (true spirit), but I managed to get myself a set of 【Bone Spirit Fire Body】. In terms of using fire to escape, even an eighth-stage life form cannot catch up to me."

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

Bai Junlan: "Undoubtedly, your two subordinates' true spirits have already exceeded the threshold of a king, but their bone bodies are still in their original state and have not evolved through bone body cultivation methods."

"If they are in battle, they will easily suffer."

"Are there cultivation methods here?"

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

"It is said that there is a Bone God Temple in the center of the Southern Continent, where one can obtain the inheritance of gods and also obtain methods for flesh and blood regeneration."

Zhao Xing nodded, and then relayed a part of Bai Junlan's words to Wei Ling Tianchen and Bamboo Sword.

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

"However, one must become a powerful city lord to be qualified to be summoned." Zhao added this last sentence himself. He would take every opportunity to pit Wei Ling Tianchen.

"Bamboo Sword, we can kill Zhuo Ying and occupy this territory." Wei Ling Tianchen felt that this was a very good opportunity to occupy a territory and manage it, which could not only allow them to search for the opportunities of the White Bone Divine Domain but also allow them to start solving the restriction left by Fan Qianrou.

"We can cooperate." Venerable Bamboo Sword nodded. Zhao Xing pretended to persuade: "We cannot deal with Zhuo Ying directly; we must strengthen our bone bodies first."

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

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

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

Wei Ling Tianchen was arrogant, wanting to kill the local tyrant here right away.

He and Venerable Bamboo Sword flew toward Fugu City together.

Before leaving, Wei Ling Tianchen chanted an incantation and threw out a purple-gold gourd shining with divine light from his ring. Divine water poured out of the gourd, forming a golden-blue barrier filled with water. The barrier wrapped him and Bai Junlan inside.

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

"Wait, what about the Enlightenment Golden Hoop?" Zhao Xing asked. Wei Ling Tianchen shouldn't be able to leave him too far, right?

"The power of the Blue Water Golden Divine Realm towers above the Enlightenment Golden Hoop; it will not take effect during this time."

Venerable Bamboo Sword left Zhao Xing a bone sword, which was carved from his own ribs; the sword energy inside possessed fifty percent of Venerable Bamboo Sword's power.

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

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

"Oh, this is to protect me."

"What did your subordinates go to do again?"

"I let them go and kill Zhuo Ying."

"Hiss~"

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

Thinking of the questions Zhao Xing asked earlier, Bai Junlan felt even more awe toward Zhao Xing.

"This senior asked questions earlier that were basically related to the divine level."

"He also asked me about the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, who is wielding the Heavenly Mandate, and also said there is a sect called the Li Fire Divine Sect, which also seems to be under the management of that 'Human Emperor', but he doesn't seem to have any respect for that 'Human Emperor'."

"Could he be the incarnation of some divine realm?"

Bai Junlan immediately buried his head into the dust.

He did not dare to try to escape, only hoping that this big shot would spare him after achieving his goal.

Zhao Xing never thought that Bai Junlan would make up so much in his mind.

At this time, he was mobilizing his bone power, trying to open his inner world.

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

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

Zhao Xing had divine objects, and there were two of them: one was the Hunyuan Dao Tower, and the other was the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle.

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

However, now he must first open his inner world.

"The boundary core is hidden in the bone body. It is not the power of the bone body that seals it, but it has sealed itself." Zhao Xing tried it and found that the boundary core did not move at all. It seemed to be a self-protection mechanism produced by the joint efforts of the Hunyuan Dao Tower and the native seed.

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

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

"Senior, I don't."

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

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

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

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

Then what was up with his "summoning sensation"?

Not long after waiting, the green fire pit suddenly began to pulse.

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

"Senior, someone has opened the fire pit; it should be my fellow disciples." Bai Junlan said. "But I didn't notify them."

While speaking, two skeletons appeared in the fire pit.

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

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

Because the Blue Water Golden Divine Realm came with a concealment function, and the space of the fire pit in the mountain cave itself was relatively large, the two skeletons did not discover the existence of Zhao Xing and Bai Junlan.

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

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

Hu Qing held a bone knife and was a martial artist of the Seventh-Tribulation True Spirit. His Golden Body Fire Body was also seventh-stage.

Yan Jun was a soul illusionist of the seventh-stage true spirit, with a seventh-stage 【Xuanming Dao Bone】.

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

"Maybe he went to Fugu City for a trade one step ahead." Yan Jun looked around, "Looking at the heat of the fire array, it seems he left not long ago."

"Let's go to Fugu City too. The harvest this time is not bad; perhaps we can replace you, Junior Sister, with an eighth-stage Dao Bone."

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

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

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

The two skeletons returned to the mountain cave fire pit somewhat fox-like, seemingly having just experienced a great battle.

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

"The injuries aren't very heavy. I really don't know who is challenging that White Bone King. Zhuo Ying has a tenth-stage fire seed."

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

"Hmm..."

Zhao Xing heard their entire conversation.

"It seems Wei Ling Tianchen and Bamboo Sword have made a move. I don't know how the battle is going, but if Zhuo Ying is only a tenth-stage true spirit, he shouldn't be their match. What a pity."

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

At this time, under the bonus of the Enlightenment Golden Hoop, Zhao Xing had already unsealed the three major magic powers. The Blue Flower magic power, the Cangming magic power, and the Red Lotus magic power flowed within the bone body, appearing very extraordinary.

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

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

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

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

And the leader, a yellow diamond bone body, had already reached the eighth-stage true spirit fire seed in Zhao Xing's eyes. His subordinates were all extraordinary, enough to form a crushing force against the two.

"Your senior brother and sister failed to pick up scraps, and instead got targeted themselves?"

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

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

and his bone body fell apart.

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

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

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

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

"Whoosh!"

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

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

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

"Senior, that is a Bone Spirit Spear." Bai Junlan said: "It is a magic treasure made of Bone Spirit Stones and Soul Crystals."

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

"Being killed by a Bone Spirit Spear will cause the loss of most of the true spirit power, and even the forgetting of memories and secret methods." Bai Junlan stated calmly.

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

1

Bai Junlan: "I can't even protect myself, so worrying is superfluous. Moreover, they all know the 'Bone Dissolution Great Method'."

The Bone Dissolution Great Method is similar to the method of reincarnation. Wei Ling Tianchen believes that the owner of the White Bone Divine Domain is proving the Dao through heaven and earth, replacing the operation of the Heavenly Dao in a unique way. The Bone Dissolution Great Method is the reincarnation secret method here.

"As long as the spell is cast in time, the senior brother and junior sister will return to a secret Soul Well to be reborn. As for the loss, it can be made up for later."

"So that's how it is."

"Senior," Bai Junlan hesitated, "can you save them? These two fellow disciples are quite close to me..."

Zhao Xing did not respond, just continued watching. Bai Junlan did not say anything more.

Hu Qing blew up half of his bone body to cover Yan Jun's retreat back to the mountain cave, so she could run away through the fire pit.

Others couldn't use the fire pit, but as long as he could buy a little time, his Yan Jun junior sister could escape.

Seeing Yan Jun fly into the mountain cave, Hu Qing intended to cast the Bone Dissolution Great Method, let himself return to the Soul Well to be reborn, and stop fighting.

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

"Hmm? Why haven't I died yet?" Hu Qing was pinned by the Bone Spirit Spear again, but the blade of death was slow to fall.

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

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

The rest of the subordinates saw this sudden change and immediately scattered like birds and beasts to run away.

"I, I was saved?"

"Click, click, click~"

The sword energy erupting from the bone swords spread again and again, and the eighth-tribulation bone general made a tooth-aching friction sound.

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

With a "Boom!", the bone frame suddenly exploded and scattered, the true spirit fire seed disappeared abruptly, the imprint of the golden body bone body was actively erased, and there was no movement at all.

"The Bone Dissolution Great Method is truly magical."

Zhao Xing looked at the bones scattered all over the ground. They didn't shatter, just scattered.

"The Bone God Yuan created the Calamity-Free White Bone Divine Domain, allowing true spirits to avoid tribulations and grow, and also created the Bone Dissolution Great Method, which is similar to a reincarnation secret method. Could he be an alternative Martial God?" Zhao Xing thought to himself.

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

However, Zhao Xing quickly denied this idea. Yuan is proving the Dao through heaven and earth, and his bone cultivation Great Dao is very complete. If one were to treat him as that kind of extremist Qi Sect martial artist, it would be too one-sided.

"I don't know which senior saved us. Hu Qing, elder of the Martial Fire Peak of the Divine Fire Sect, asks the senior to appear for a meeting."

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

"Whoosh~" The bone sword suddenly became smaller, picked up a bone ring that had fallen on the ground, and also carried the scattered eighth-tribulation bone body into the mountain cave.

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

No matter how they looked, they couldn't find where it had gone, because they couldn't see through the Blue Water Golden Divine Realm, and couldn't touch this barrier.

"Thank you, Senior, for your help." Inside the barrier, Bai Junlan expressed his gratitude.

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

"Hmm? There are quite a few treasures in here." Zhao Xing was somewhat happy, "There are fourth-stage bone body materials from low to high, and there are over a thousand fourth to eighth-stage Soul Crystals. It looks like this is a complete set."

Absorbing Soul Crystals can lead to the transformation of the true spirit, and the bone body is the prerequisite for absorption. Zhao Xing is now a Third-Tribulation True Spirit with a third-stage bone body, but because he doesn't have a matching bone body, he has no way to absorb the extra Soul Crystals.

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

"Could it be that this person prepared this for rebirth from the Soul Well?"

Rebirth from the Soul Well starts in a low-stage bone body state, and the true spirit will also be significantly reduced.

But if resources are prepared in advance, an eighth-tribulation true spirit can also quickly cultivate back.

"Now these have become cheap for me." Zhao Xing became excited. "This treasure is enough to make my true spirit undergo continuous transformations, equivalent to surviving several true spirit tribulations. I'll eat!"
