Chapter 112: The Toad That Wants to Swallow the Azure Void

Compared to the Grand Void Palace's methods of setting up secret treasures, Lan Shen Palace's methods were simply rustic to the point of falling off the slag.

Wei Yuan complained while walking into the secret passage. At the end of the secret passage was a stone door, and there were no mechanisms on the door at all; it opened with a push, revealing a hall behind it.

The underground hall wasn't large, with a stone the size of a water vat standing in the center, and three statues at the end. The one in the middle was a male cultivator, with a kind face and quite handsome. On the left was a female cultivator, charming by nature; on the right was a little girl, looking only five or six years old, as cute as jade and snow, only holding a white snake in her hand.

The entire stone room was filled with incense wishes, so rich that it had turned into wisps of gray mist, constantly surging.

From the information, the male cultivator statue should be the founding ancestor of Lan Shen Palace, Yun Xihe, and the two on the left and right were not recorded in the information. Wei Yuan guessed that they might be Yun Xihe's family.

So Yun Xihe set up a sect, made himself a god, and let his disciples and attached people worship him as a god?

Wei Yuan thought to himself, is this Yun Xihe sick? Still want to play that set of flesh becoming a god?

The incense divine path had many wonders, but flesh becoming a god was definitely more harmful than beneficial, and it belonged to the kind that couldn't turn back once walked. This point was expounded from different angles in classes such as Qi Luck Theory, Dao Foundation Theory, and Art Theory. Anyway, as long as they had attended classes, no Grand Void Palace disciple would want to go that way.

This Yun Xihe was also from the Grand Void Palace, so how could he do this? Could it be that this guy didn't listen carefully in class and was secretly reading storybooks underneath? Shouldn't be? In the Grand Void Palace class, let alone taking out storybooks, even contemplating storybooks in divine sense was not allowed, and he would be caught by the teachers on the spot. The teachers' divine sense was much stronger than the students'.

The teachers also had many ways to deal with students. For example, Senior Sister Ji would whip the Primordial Spirit, and no matter how strong your physical body was, you would be in pain. But it was just pain, without any damage. So the guys in the King of Brightness Palace who had heads full of muscles were most afraid of Ji Liuli.

However, Wei Yuan was able to understand the incense divine path so clearly, actually because he learned it in the centralized teaching class. And centralized teaching had only just begun in Wei Yuan's batch. Before that, each palace taught itself, and more often than not, students only learned from their own teachers. Whenever major days came, the ancestors would come out to give big lectures, regardless of whether the students could understand or not.

But human power sometimes had its limits, and no matter how brilliant a teacher was, it was impossible to know everything. Just like Zhang Sheng, who knew history from ancient times to the present, innovated in sword techniques, and might even open up a new Dao path. But he was very average in Feng Shui, only knew a little bit about poison and curses, and knew nothing about calculating the trajectories of large stars.

Now Wei Yuan finally realized that centralized teaching was truly beneficial.

After complaining about the founding ancestor of Lan Shen Palace, Wei Yuan looked around the room again, didn't see anything else, the incense table in front of the three statues was plain, with no special features, and some books were placed on the incense tables and shelves on both sides. Wei Yuan picked them up and flipped through them, finding that they were all cultivation methods of the incense divine path. The cultivation methods contained many blood sacrifice and animal sacrifice rituals, looking bloody and strange.

Wei Yuan's gaze finally fell on the large stone. The stone was also plain, only because it was soaked in incense wishes day and night, countless tiny holes appeared on the surface. Wei Yuan subconsciously wanted to bypass the stone and check other places, but suddenly felt a stir in his heart: "Why do I always not want to look at it?"

Wei Yuan felt a chill in his heart. These two days he had been fishing every day and fighting wits with Yun Feifei, and he was quite sensitive to Qi Luck and wishes. Such a large stone was placed there, yet he ignored it repeatedly, clearly influenced by something, just like Yun Feifei's Senior Brother and Junior Brother subconsciously ignored Wei Yuan.

At this moment, he operated the Heaven and Earth Madman, adding a strand of Qi Luck to his body. He had originally passed the stone, but after adding Qi Luck, he stopped and turned around. At this time, in his eyes, the stone was already very different.

Looking again, he saw that the stone was covered with gray-black aura, looking like countless insects crawling back and forth. In every tiny hole on the stone, there was also gray-black aura going in and out.

The incense wishes on the three statues originally gray-white also turned into rich gray-black aura, and then flowed like water to the stone, circled a few times, and then flowed back to the statues.

Viewed with Qi-gazing technique, the incense wishes were gray-black, indicating that most of the wishers were in a state of sadness and despair, their bodies were empty, and the wishes were also filled with decay, annihilation, cruelty, and hatred.

"This formation..." Wei Yuan felt a stir in his heart, observing the flow of gray-black wishes carefully, and gradually guessed: "This is using the wishes of decay to erode and polish. He wants to erode the mark on this stone?"

Wei Yuan walked to the stone and pressed his hand down. The gray-black wishes immediately boiled, resisting Wei Yuan's hand desperately. Wei Yuan added another force, and the last strand of advanced Qi Luck in his sea of consciousness suddenly disappeared. Wei Yuan's hand sprayed countless clear aura, blowing away the gray-black aura wrapped around the stone.

Wei Yuan's hand finally landed on the stone, and his eyes blurred, and suddenly a whole world broke into his divine sense!

A scream suddenly rang out in Wei Yuan's sea of consciousness. This scream was extremely painful and incomparably crazy. At the same time, countless chaotic information was thrown into various parts of the sea of consciousness. The scream covered a range of a hundred li, and countless stones on the ground shattered, and even the Yushan appeared with some tiny cracks!

With a thud, Wei Yuan knelt on the ground, held his head with both hands, and rolled on the ground in pain.

Another scream rang out in the sea of consciousness, and more cracks appeared on the Yushan. However, Wei Yuan had already found the source of the scream. It was a gray figure, seemingly bound to something, emitting screams of extreme pain.

In a hurry, Wei Yuan didn't have time to think, and immediately used all his strength to push his Dao Foundation to flip, preparing to suppress the gray figure with the power of the continent.

The continent remained motionless.

This was not something that human power could push. Wei Yuan was the first person in history who couldn't command his own Dao Foundation.

However, wherever Wei Yuan's intention reached, a gust of wind rose from the edge of the continent, sweeping in from all directions, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the Yushan, at which time the gust of wind had turned into a wind wall connecting the ground to the sky!

These gusts were the power of Wei Yuan's entire Dao Foundation, all pressing down on the gray figure. The figure struggled desperately, but the invisible rope binding it seemed stronger, making it unable to break free at all. All the remaining Qi Luck in the sea of consciousness merged into the wind wall, the power of the wind wall greatly increased, and countless gusts wrapped the figure, compressing it layer by layer, finally turning into a gray round ball, falling beside the Yushan.

Wei Yuan stood up slowly, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and felt a lingering fear in his heart. Now he understood what those incense wishes were eroding. In this stone, there was a divine sense of extremely high status. From the scattered information, Wei Yuan knew that the divine sense body had actually fallen thirty thousand years ago. It had been dead for thirty thousand years, and had been eroded by incense wishes for hundreds of years, yet a scream could still hurt Wei Yuan's Dao Foundation, which showed how high the status was.

Wei Yuan endured the lingering pain of the Primordial Spirit, organized the information scattered with the scream, and finally knew that the divine sense body was actually an immortal before he died!

This immortal didn't know why he fell, leaving only a wisp of divine sense in the stone. The divine sense was full of pain and madness before the immortal fell, and ordinary cultivators would fall just by approaching. If it weren't for Wei Yuan's unparalleled Dao Foundation, powerful Primordial Spirit, and the protection of Qi Luck consumption, those two screams would have been enough to make his sea of consciousness explode.

At this time, the stone had revealed its original appearance. It was pale green and translucent, with countless sceneries floating in the stone, as if it contained countless tiny worlds.

From the scattered information, Wei Yuan also knew the origin of this stone.

Ancient World Stone · Azure Void!

In the current era, the world stones issued by the Grand Void Palace and other immortal sects and sects were all cut and refined from whole pieces of Void-Dark Stone, generally capable of ascending to the third rank. The supreme world stones were made of special Void-Dark Stone, having all kinds of wonders, capable of ascending to the fifth rank. And Azure Void used a whole piece of Void-Dark Stone as raw material, refined by the hands of an immortal. It could ascend to the seventh rank.

Moreover, Azure Void started from the second rank, and currently could cover a hundred li of heaven and earth.

Now Wei Yuan finally roughly understood the cause and effect of the whole event. A certain previous generation immortal wanted to open up territory, painstakingly refined the immortal object Azure Void, but was later surrounded and killed by strong enemies. Before dying, the immortal let Azure Void flee to the sky, and finally fell here.

After tens of thousands of years, the human territory gradually expanded here. Yun Xihe discovered Azure Void during his travels, but didn't report it to the sect, but wanted to swallow it privately. Although Yun Xihe had become a Dharma Form, this immortal treasure wasn't something he could swallow, and the Tinghai Xianjun's divine sense inside made him helpless.

Wei Yuan's Dao Foundation was unparalleled in the world, his sea of consciousness was boundless, his Primordial Spirit was no longer inferior to a Dharma Form, and he had otherworldly Qi Luck to protect him. Facing a divine sense that had been eroded by incense wishes for hundreds of years, he still had to consume a strand of great Qi Luck to finally suppress it. Hundreds of years ago, Yun Xihe faced a full-strength Tinghai Xianjun divine sense, and would have been wiped out if he dared to touch it.

!.

Yun Xihe's era of Qi Luck had just begun to appear, and people with Qi Luck were quite rare. According to the records of the Grand Void Palace, Yun Xihe should have had no great Qi Luck, only a little human luck of his own. Wei Yuan finally understood why Yun Xihe suddenly chose the incense divine path, and still flesh becoming a god. He should have wanted to use incense wishes to replace Qi Luck, erode the Tinghai Xianjun's divine sense, and then let Azure Void recognize him as master.

It was just that later, for some reason, he only lived for fifty years before passing away, leaving Lan Shen Palace's foundation and the ancient world stone to future generations.

After figuring all this out, Wei Yuan put his hand on Azure Void and tried to establish a connection according to the method in the divine sense scattered information. The activation of the ancient world stone was completely different from the current one. You had to first build a corresponding formation in the sea of consciousness, and then activate it through the formation. Just this one point alone could stop most Dao Foundation and half of the True Persons. Originally, Yun Xihe neither knew the activation formation nor dared to hard-tank the Tinghai Xianjun's divine sense, so he could only use incense wishes to grind slowly.

Fortunately, the activation formation left by the Tinghai Xianjun, although complex and somewhat incomplete, the formation principles used were all learned by Wei Yuan in class. It was interesting to say that ancient formation principles were mainly taught in the history class of Immortal Path General Knowledge, and the one who taught this knowledge was Feng Chutang. At this moment, Wei Yuan completed the formation according to what he learned and activated Azure Void.

Countless information instantly poured into his divine sense, and Wei Yuan was shocked after a rough look.

World Stone Azure Void: Can ascend to the seventh rank, currently second rank.

Characteristic 1: Unknown.

Wonder 1: Unknown.

Wonder 2: Incomplete.

Wonder 3: Blank.

This Azure Void had a whole characteristic and three wonders! When Wei Yuan saw the Life-Generating Stone and Infant-Fire Stone in the Merit Hall, the Life-Generating Stone only had one function, and the Infant-Fire Stone was a characteristic, and they could only ascend to the third rank, and even so, they needed fifty thousand merit points. And the three descriptions behind Azure Void used the word "Wonder", not "Characteristic" or "Function"!

In the refining information of such heavy treasures as world stones, the wording was actually quite rigorous. Function was function, characteristic was characteristic, and wonder was wonder. Characteristic was a much stronger function, while wonder could be regarded as a function that was magnified many times and produced a qualitative change.

The characteristic and wonders were unknown because Azure Void hadn't recognized a master yet, so Wei Yuan didn't know what they were specifically. Although Wei Yuan had the activation formation, Azure Void was an immortal object, and normally there was a big hurdle of recognizing a master.

Azure Void was refined by an immortal, and it had its own spirituality when it was born. Since then, it had accompanied a wisp of divine sense of the immortal for tens of thousands of years, and now it was naturally formed. If you wanted it to recognize a master, you must get its approval.

Wei Yuan only tried slightly, and was clearly rejected by Azure Void, and it was accompanied by disgust. That kind of crisp and neat strength was no less than a rich lady meeting a poor guy proposing marriage, a swan meeting a toad that wanted to marry.
