Chapter 600

"Harvesting wondrous scenes, combining divine patterns, wielding the power of the laws of heaven and earth..."

The little female dragon grew more and more excited as she spoke; although her words were mostly recounting the words of predecessors, they were not lacking in her own yearning.

Before falling into this place, she had already condensed the Mirage Dragon Spirit Form and stepped into the He Yi Jing realm; she too possessed her own understanding of harvesting wondrous scenes and combining divine patterns.

Li Yuan listened silently, correlating what she said with what he had obtained in the Zang Guan Mi Jing, and his understanding of divine patterns deepened considerably.

"If combining divine patterns is likened to a puzzle, then the divine patterns hidden within the wondrous scenes of heaven and earth are the individual puzzle pieces..."

"The strength of a divine pattern, the strength of a divine pattern combination, concerns the ultimate potential of the Spirit Form and the Ning Ju Shen Jing..."

Li Yuan's heart was crystal clear.

The reason he had not harvested wondrous scenes or condensed a Ning Ju Shen Jing in these past few years was, besides settling himself, also related to this.

Before coming into contact with the cultivation system of Tian Shi Yuan, he was unwilling to choose a path lightly.

"Within the Tai Xu Ning Ju Shen Jing, there is a scroll called the 'Divine Pattern List'; it records the countless divine patterns that have ever appeared across all realms and domains. Pity my Universal Knowledge Sphere was destroyed, otherwise..."

Mentioning this matter, the little female dragon felt some regret again, her heart aching for her Universal Knowledge Sphere.

"How many kinds of divine patterns are recorded on the Divine Pattern List?"

Li Yuan asked.

"Who remembers that?"

The little female dragon glanced at him, paused for a moment, weighed her tone, and then said:

"You know... never mind, you will know for yourself when you see it later. It cannot be explained in a single sentence. The Divine Pattern List encompasses everything; except for the Gods, no one could possibly count them clearly..."

"So many?"

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"What do you think?"

The little female dragon glanced at him again, finding the sense of superiority she had once felt when communicating with the Star Inhabitants:

"Divine patterns originate from the universe of heaven and earth. Just as vast as the universe is, so complex are the divine patterns... Divine patterns do not exist only within the wondrous scenes of heaven and earth,"

"it is just that cultivators like us can only harvest divine patterns from wondrous scenes."

"Is that so?"

Li Yuan paid no mind to the little female dragon's slight pride; he merely nodded thoughtfully:

"As you say, there are countless types of divine patterns. What about divine pattern combinations?"

"Naturally, there are many as well."

The little female dragon answered:

"Divine patterns have distinctions of high and low; divine pattern combinations do too. Therefore, cultivators of Tian Shi Yuan pursue the wondrous scenes of the universe. As for powerful Divine Pattern Archives..."

"A single top-grade Divine Pattern Archive could create a cultivation sect."

"Hmm..."

Li Yuan nodded.

Next, he kept asking questions until he had squeezed dry everything the little female dragon knew, only then waving his hand half-satisfied and letting her go to repair her Ning Ju Shen Jing.

He then sat cross-legged, digesting the conversation just now.

"Divine patterns, combinations, archives."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly; before his eyes, waves seemed to surge, and a giant bird resembling both a fish and a Kun rose from the abyss, flapping its wings upward for ninety thousand li, with wind and clouds howling and heaven and earth all trembling.

This was the complete 'True Form Diagram of the Kun Peng'.

"The True Form Diagram of the Kun Peng should be among the 'Divine Pattern Archives' the little female dragon spoke of. As for its grade..."

Li Yuan pondered in his heart.

His understanding of divine patterns and Divine Pattern Archives was not deep enough, but judging by the assessment method taught by the little female dragon, this True Form Diagram of the Kun Peng should also belong to the top-grade archives.

The Kun Peng, even in the era of the Origin Divine Dynasty's peak prosperity, was among the divine beasts recognized by all realms and domains, its ferocious name famous.

"Pity, gathering the divine patterns needed to complete the True Form Diagram of the Kun Peng is not easy..."

Letting out a long breath, Li Yuan closed his eyes. Only until this moment did he truly calm his startled heart and digest the shock brought by the Five Dragon Immortal and that straw-cloaked fisherman.

"The Origin Divine Clan..."

The shadow of the Kun Peng in his visualization scattered; instead, points of dim light once again outlined the lingering image of that towering and sacred city...

Wuu~

A profound silence filled the Zang Guan Mi Jing.

Divine light woven faintly formed a light-shadow, freezing at the moment Li Yuan was kicked out of the Mi Jing; the divine figure with fingers pinched together wore a indifferent expression, with starlight dazzling.

"... Immortal Lord..."

The Bronze Coffin Spirit tentatively tried to say something, but the moment it opened its mouth, it was cut off by a cold voice:

"Shut up!"

Gazing at the indifferent reflection in the light-shadow, the Five Dragon Immortal felt extremely depressed in her heart, a kind of indescribable despondency, and also a hint of envy not easily noticed.

During the long years buried in the divine coffin, she did not know how many times she had tried, and without exception, she was utterly defeated by the 'Dao Traces' that looked exactly the same as herself.

'If this truly is me, my Great-Grandfather must be very gratified...'

The thought had just risen when she shook her head and extinguished it:

"This is not me!"

After looking one by one/p>

The Bronze Coffin Spirit fell silent.

After a moment, the Five Dragon Immortal finally spoke:

"In your view, can he break through the trial?"

The Five Dragon Immortal changed the subject; the Bronze Coffin Spirit also pretended not to know and answered:

"Your gaze is sharp as a torch. Though this human youth's talent is merely passable, his will to kill is extremely unyielding... My lord's deployment of the Origin Divine City is the greatest recognition for him."

"... Is that so?"

The Five-Immortal Dragon lowered her eyelids, feeling something strange within her heart.

She had chosen this human youth not because her judgment was particularly good...

"Pity, I fear he has no possibility of breaking through the barrier."

The Bronze Coffin Spirit spoke with calmness tinged with a hint of regret:

"This youth has never learned spells or Dao arts; clearly, his origins are extremely humble. He may never reach the day of condensing a 'Law Ring' or a Golden Core. And even if he fortunately manages to cultivate a 'Law Ring', given his innate endowment, the possibility of breaking through is infinitesimal..."

"Infinitesimal?"

The Five-Immortal Dragon frowned slightly, judging others by her own standards.

"A mere human, how could he compare to you?"

The Bronze Coffin Spirit replied calmly.

"That is not me!"

The Five-Immortal Dragon corrected it.

"Except for possessing my lord's will, this is you."

The Bronze Coffin Spirit spoke in a rigid, matter-of-fact tone:

"You were born from the 'Eternal Radiance Star' as the 'Direct Bloodline of the Origin Imperial Clan', a 'Mu Mu Xiantian Divine Fetus' born to shatter the barriers of the Postnatal. You possess an unparalleled talent that surpasses all prodigies of every race,

You bear ninety-nine divine patterns, and the Origin Record is a supreme record that suppresses the inheritances of ten thousand races..."

The Bronze Coffin Spirit's voice fluctuated; by the end, it even resonated with intensity. This was the utmost reverence and awe of an Origin Creation toward the Divine Race that created it.

"Be silent!"

The Five-Immortal Dragon raised her hand to extinguish the light and shadow before her, closed her eyes, curled up, and vanished into the shadows.

The Bronze Coffin Spirit's voice slowed:

"May Immortal Lord have a good sleep..."

Wuu~

Silence returned within the bronze coffin.

In the gloom, the Bronze Coffin Spirit gazed at the sleeping Five-Immortal Dragon. After a long while, it raised its head to look beyond the bronze coffin, seeing only boundless darkness:

"Where exactly is this outside...?"

Vroom~

In a dim divine realm, a torch seemed to ignite.

Holding incense that burned like a torch, Wan Wan Zhuliu strode through the Nether Realm. Behind him, the shadow of a black ink dragon surged, strangling any sinister beasts that dared approach.

After a long time, he stopped before a patch of scorched earth.
