Chapter 219: The Battle for the Divine Artifact

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

A minute ago, the two sides that were slaughtering each other suddenly allied.

Break the seal with force.

This is the result they negotiated.

Magic, Daoist techniques, magical treasures, flying swords.

Everyone concentrated firepower and launched a fierce attack on a spot.

Zhu Dafu and Nan Qi Yun stood at the rear of the demon tribe.

They did not act.

They are humans; acting would expose them.

Te Fu turned her head, glanced at the two, and shouted, "Lots of magic, lots of magic stones, why haven't you acted yet?"

Zhu Dafu and Nan Qi Yun exchanged a glance and raised the magical weapons in their hands.

What to do?

Both saw worry in each other's eyes.

While the two hesitated, someone slowly crawled up from the sand pile.

Zhang Xingyu tugged Zhu Dafu and Nan Qi Yun and whispered, "Follow me!"

Though his movement was light and his voice low, Te Fu heard him.

Te Fu turned around and shouted at the three who were sneaking away, "Lots of magical power, lots of magic, lots of magic stones, you three despicable slaves. When I catch you, I'll throw you into the ten‑thousand demon‑feeding maggots."

What a vile witch!

The three, hearing Te Fu, bolted backward.

After running some distance, they saw Te Fu not pursuing and slowed.

"Brother Xingyu, shall we retreat like this?" Zhu Dafu asked.

Zhang Xingyu shook his head, "No. Since witch Te Fu so desperately wants the inheritance of the Tera Demon God, we must make sure she doesn't get it."

Nan Qi Yun also nodded, "Right. We can't let her obtain it. If she does, it would be a great disaster for our human race."

Zhang Xingyu nodded and said, "I have a Dao technique that can detect aerial seals. We'll bypass them and enter from another direction."

The three turned left.

After walking about ten li, they stopped.

Zhang Xingyu activated the Thousand‑Li Eye divine sense, continuously scanning the void for seals.

After a quarter‑hour, he turned to Zhu Dafu and Nan Qi Yun, "The seal there is damaged, just enough for one person to slip through. Stay close to me and don't make any mistakes."

Having said that, he commanded a fire dragon to blast toward a spot in the sky.

Whoosh!

A piece of his robe's hem fluttered beautifully.

At the same time, seals lit up behind him.

After passing the seal, Zhang Xingyu patted his pounding chest.

So tense! So tense!

Guided by Zhang Xingyu, Zhu Dafu and Nan Qi Yun also safely passed the seal.

"Go!"

The three rode their swords toward a temple.

The temple was built entirely of golden stone.

The temple had once suffered a fierce attack; the seals were all destroyed, and the golden roof was half collapsed.

Above the temple's lintel were three ancient golden characters.

"Dan Temple!"

A system voice rang in Zhang Xingyu's mind.

That damned system, wasn't it sleeping? Why did it wake up on its own today and even help me recognize those three ancient characters?

"Ding dong, host insulted this system with offensive language, deducting 100 points of God Yuan Value."

The system prompted in his mind.

"I…"

Zhang Xingyu ignored the system and stepped into the great hall.

The divine furnace in the hall's center had vanished, and the once blazing divine fire was extinguished.

On the ground lay several skeletons and countless shattered bottles and jars.

Zhang Xingyu picked up a broken bottle and found it empty.

Zhu Dafu picked up a bottle, glanced at it, and casually smashed it against the opposite wall.

"Clang!"

The bottle shattered.

A delighted smile appeared on Zhu Dafu's face.

"Brother Xingyu, there's a cavity behind this wall!" Zhu Dafu said to Zhang Xingyu.

"How did you know there's a cavity?" Zhang Xingyu asked.

"Well, a wall with a cavity sounds less crisp than one without. My family's treasure vault has a cavity; I played there as a child and knocked on it many times." Zhu Dafu scratched his nose and answered shyly.

Zhang Xingyu smiled.

The three knocked on the wall and indeed found a mechanism in a hidden corner.

Zhu Dafu gently pressed the mechanism.

The three only heard a clattering "gagaga…" sound, and immediately a one‑meter‑square hole appeared in the wall.

The hole had two levels; the upper level was empty, and the lower level held a crystal‑clear jade bottle.

Inside the bottle was a pill that glittered with golden light.

The pill constantly changed shape—sometimes like a rabbit, sometimes like a squirrel, sometimes like a bird.

The three stared dumbfounded.

We've struck it rich.

A shape‑shifting pill is at least an immortal pill of eight or more turns.

This is a temple; it's likely that inside lies a Divine Pill.

A Divine Pill, huh.

Legend says it can revive the dead and turn flesh to bone.

Zhang Xingyu took the bottle and gently placed it into Zhu Dafu's hand.

"Zhu Xiaopang, you've got it ready."

Zhu Dafu gripped the bottle tightly: "Xingyu Ge, Southern Major, such a precious thing really belongs to me?"

Zhang Xingyu and Nan Qiyun both nodded: "It's yours."

Zhu Dafu carefully tucked the pill into his storage bag.

His hand trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Zhang Xingyu gently warned: "If the treasure draws hatred, never display it in front of others."

"Mm, mm."

Zhu Dafu nodded his head like a chick pecking grain.

The three probed further, found nothing of value, and turned to leave the Pill Temple.

Beside it was an open‑air high platform.

The platform had three tiers: the upper tier was the Sun Platform, the middle tier the Moon Platform, and the lower tier the Star Platform.

Sun Platform, Moon Platform, Star Platform.

Together they're just the Sun‑Moon‑Star Platform.

Could this be the place where Sun Moon Star Three Light Divine Water is made?

Zhang Xingyu strolled toward the platform.

Zhu Dafu and Nan Qiyun looked a bit surprised.

Zhang Xingyu left the other temples unexplored; why go to that open platform?

Still doubtful, the two followed him.

They entered the first‑level Star Platform.

The Star Platform was engraved with numerous star charts.

Looking out, it seemed as if they were in a summer night sky.

At the center of the chart was a tiny pool filled with half a pool of silvery, sparkling liquid.

Starlight Water.

Zhang Xingyu recognized the liquid at a glance.

On Thunder Light Island, Long Nü Po Po had spent great effort to collect a single drop. Unexpectedly, here there was half a pool of Starlight Water.

This half‑pool of star water was likely gathered over endless ages by this Star Platform.

"Xiaopang, Major, this liquid is quite useful to me, so I won't be polite, ha."

After speaking, Zhang Xingyu took out a silver bottle and carefully filled it with the star water from the pool.

Having filled the star water, Zhang Xingyu leisurely walked onto the second‑level Moon Platform.

The Moon Platform was engraved with countless moons.

These moons varied in shape—from new moon to half moon, from half moon to full moon.

Every lunar phase seemed represented on the moon charts.

At the center of the Moon Platform was also a tiny pool holding half a pool of white liquid.

Moonlight Water.

Zhang Xingyu took out a white bottle and filled it completely with the Moonlight Water.

Then he proceeded to the third.

Without doubt, he again obtained half a pool of Sunlight Water.

Sunlight Water, Moonlight Water, Starlight Water.

If refined into Sun Moon Star Three Light Divine Water, what a fortune that would be.

Of course, that idea can only remain a thought.

Its best use is for cultivating a Divine Body.

Just after securing the three bottles, a shout rang out from the nearby temple: "I've found the treasure!"
