When Zhao Xing appeared in the southern region of the Heaven Leisure Ancient Country and sent off his past self, he immediately felt a strange sensation. A flash of red light disappeared instantly, and two currents of mighty power, like a gentle breeze, brushed through his body and into his Origin Space.
The phantom images of two plant seedlings condensed; one was the Black Heaven Moon Tree, and the other was the Spirit-devouring Grass. Additionally, there were eight Nine-Turn Soul Melting Pills.
"The space-time laws of the Transmission Building have formed a closed loop on me."
Zhao Xing had a realization. He could clearly feel the two currents of great power passing through his body via Qinghua Magical Power.
The three items that appeared were all things he obtained in the Medicine King Realm. They had disappeared before, without even a chance to exchange them.
But now they’ve reappeared, with the Boundary Jade appearing as well.
"How wondrous."
"But what should I do next?" Zhao Xing instinctively pondered, but he quickly shook his head: "Qing Yu Zi said I should go with the flow."
"According to my first thought, I should now eliminate the True Spirit Heavenly Poison and then quickly leave."
How to eliminate it? Zhao Xing was unsure, but he thought Qing Yu Zi would certainly not let him struggle too much, so the answer seemed clear.
Zhao Xing’s gaze turned to the ground beneath his feet.
He stood on a gray surface, smooth enough to reflect his own image.
When he looked closely, he felt his heart pounding fiercely, and his reflection seemed to come alive, roaring at the sky.
"Guh~" Zhao Xing’s Qi-blood surged, even his soul wrapped in True Spirit Heavenly Poison was affected, causing dizziness.
"What on earth is this?"
He hurriedly withdrew his gaze, only to find the Five Poison Emperor and Zuo Qiyu doing the same thing, intently focused on the ground.
"Teacher, Senior Zuo, what is this? Why is it so marvelous..."
The Five Poison Emperor did not respond, enraptured, while Zuo Qiyu, though not raising his head, replied.
"It’s a Molt Divine Bone of the Void Ancestor."
"Void Ancestor’s Molt Divine Bone?" Zhao Xing was stunned: "Does such a thing exist?"
The Void Ancestor reincarnated nine times, each time dying amid the starry sky, his body disintegrating, with the left eye transforming into the Sun Star, the right eye the Taiyin Star. Hair became stars, breath turned into wind and cloud, thus countless Bounded Stars and Star Lands existed. The Void Ancestor Star System was also controlled by the Origin Heavenly Palace.
This was just a description of the Void Ancestor during the Reincarnation Realm.
However, Zuo Qiyu mentioned the Molt Divine Bone; could it be that after becoming a God, the Void Ancestor still underwent decomposition?
"Void Ancestor established the Qi Sect Martial Artist system, and after reaching the God Realm, he performed a secretive decomposition, aiming to enlighten future martial artists with a path to break through to the God Realm. It is rumored this decomposition took place inside the Origin Heavenly Palace’s Void Ancestor Star System, in a relatively small area," Zuo Qiyu divulged a hidden secret.
"What happened afterward, Senior Zuo?" Zhao Xing inquired.
"I’m not sure," Zuo Qiyu shook his head, "The Void Ancestor suddenly vanished, following which a massive upheaval took place in the Xuanling Star Domain. About nine epochs were left blank regarding the Void Ancestor afterward, with nine pages missing from the Mystic Spirit History Book. Then, the Li Emperor emerged out of nowhere, unifying the Xuanling Star Domain once more."
"Since it disappeared, why is Senior so certain it’s the Molt Divine Bone?"
"Because the Origin Heavenly Palace possesses one." Zuo Qiyu pointed upwards, "When we first arrived, we observed Emperor Tianwu and the Demon Race Emperor engaging in a life-and-death battle. I think if it wasn’t the Void Ancestor Shedding Bone, it wouldn’t warrant such desperate protection."
Zhao Xing looked up, witnessing Emperor Tianwu battling against five Demon Race Emperors in the gray fog, refusing to retreat even with injuries.
As for Du Yun, he was also surrounded by three lords, while Yellow Sand Crossing loomed hazily in the gray mist.
Bo Wei mentioned the Transmission Building still couldn’t exchange Divine Objects, but this Molt Divine Bone likely held many secrets; the Demon Race didn’t need to take it away, just knowing some secret information would suffice.
For instance, any clue about the Qi Sect Martial Artist’s path to becoming a God, even just fragments, would be immensely beneficial!
"Senior Zuo, shouldn’t we assist them?"
Zuo Qiyu ignored the question, but the Five Poison Emperor looked up at Zhao Xing: "If the people from Origin Heavenly Palace actively seek help, we can consider intervening."
"Disciple, among superpowers, there exists both cooperation and competition."
"Cooperation or competition disregards personal feelings, only considering whether interests align."
"At this moment, we should swiftly search for the secrets of the Divine Bone, rather than play the good Samaritan."
"If Origin Heavenly Palace had the chance to obtain the core secrets of the Primordial Realm, they would make the same choice."
Zhao Xing understood.
Indeed, after the Empire’s Heavenly Master obtained the first hexagram of Ten Directions Mountain, countless Cause and Effect Lines attacked from all directions, all eager to acquire the first hexagram’s secret.
Did other superpowers make a move? Of course, they did!
Between nations, one day they may swear blood oaths as allies, the next, they could be at the gates, for there are no eternal enemies or friends, only eternal interests.
If we speak frankly, the Demon Race Emperors appearing in the Transmission Building were indeed allies bound by an agreement with the Empire.
Zuo Qiyu and Five Poison Emperor represented the Red Star Empire, even if they intervened, they could only mediate.
"Don’t stray too far from us."
After the Five Poison Emperor spoke, he again intently focused on the ground.
Zuo Qiyu even lay flat on the ground, employing various methods to probe into the bone’s interior.
Yet the gray mist continued to obstruct, uncertain if anything was discovered.
Zhao Xing didn’t possess the ability to study the Divine Bone, but neither was he idle.
"When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer. Let’s first send those unlucky souls away."
