Chapter 261: Chapter 255: Divine Medicine, Divine Bone_2
“A11 eighth-tier Immortal Elixir, nothing special. Besides, it has gained spiritual wisdom, let it be,” Li Cheng said offhandedly.
The corner of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s mouth twitched. An eighth-tier immortal Elixir would be vehemently contested by numerous Immortal
Venerables and Immortal Emperors if it were in the Immortal World. Yet, in Li Cheng’s mouth, it was apparently nothing precious?
After thinking about it, it made sense. With Li Cheng’s current cultivation level and strength, even a ninth-tier Immortal Elixir wouldn’t catch his eye.
The mole felt somewhat reluctant, but didn’t dwell on it, secretly vowing to find a truly precious treasure this time to satisfy the boss!
Teleporting out once more, this time the mole ran for over a million miles before stopping.
“That can’t be right. Was there no treasure in the area we just passed?”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan asked.
“There was, but it wasn’t precious. Follow me, I’ve sensed something incredible!”
Saying so, the mole burrowed into the earth!
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle was speechless. With a casual wave of its claw, the power of space surged, splitting the earth open directly below them.
“Be careful!”
Li Cheng grabbed through the air, pulling the mole out of the crevice. At the same time, a formidable might surged up from the earth!
Li Cheng had only felt such might in the two broken arms that Gu Biyue had merged with.
Enveloped by his Law field, Li Cheng looked into the earth, his vision filled with twinkling gold.
“A Divine Corpse!”
Seeing the source of the golden light, Li Cheng’s pupils contracted.
It was a headless Divine Corpse, flesh no longer visible, only a dazzling golden skeleton remained!
“Clearly a deity who cultivated a golden attribute cultivation technique. But with only the Divine Bone left, the flesh must have decayed long ago,” sighed Immortal Emperor Tianyuan.
Even deities couldn’t have immortal flesh. Under the erosion of time, eventually, only Divine Bones remained.
If billions of years were to pass, perhaps even the Divine Bones would decay, ultimately turning to loess.
Protected by his Law field, Li Cheng approached the Divine Bones but saw nothing else besides them.
Presumably, when this deity had died, any treasures like a Storage Ring had already been taken by other deities.
“Should we take them with us or bury them?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan looked to Li Cheng.
Li Cheng didn’t need to say anything. The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle interjected first, “A deity of a bygone era, worshiped by countless beings, whose Divine Bones still emit a might that not even Immortal Emperors can approach, how can we waste it?”
“Right, Elder Turtle is correct. This deity should continue to serve the following generations!” the mole chimed in.
Li Cheng collected the Divine Bones into his Fire Mysterious Realm, “Take them with us. They’ll be useful!”
The essence contained within the Divine Bones was undoubtedly a treasure for Body Refinement. Regardless of whether Immortal Emperor Tianyuan agreed or not, Li Cheng felt that indeed, as both beasts had said, such a good resource shouldn’t go to waste!
“If this deity is aware beneath the spring, they would certainly accept this gladly, after all, even in death, they can still bless the next generation, that too is a great merit,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan coughed lightly.
Li Cheng looked at Immortal Emperor Tianyuan somewhat surprised, having thought that the latter would disagree.
The two men and two beasts exchanged glances and nodded unanimously.
That’s more like it!
In this ancient battlefield, the most precious things were probably Divine Medicine and Divine Corpses. Since they had found them, how could they waste such finds?
The mole, more excited than ever, led the way as they teleported out again, this time only covering tens of thousands of miles.
This time, however, the mole didn’t immediately burrow into the ground. Instead, it pointed downward and looked at the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle.
The latter understood, the power of space surged, and the earth opened up to reveal another headless Divine Bone!
This Divine Bone radiated fluctuations of fire attribute, and just like the first,
all parts other than the head were intact.
“It’s a bit strange that both are headless and only consist of Divine Bones. What do you think, could something have eaten their flesh instead of it just decaying naturally?” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said.
The mole was startled, “Elder Turtle, can we not bring up such terrifying thoughts, please? Now that you’ve said it, my hair is all standing on end!
True enough, the mole had become a ball of fur at that moment.
Li Cheng pondered, “Indeed, we should be more cautious. Rumor has it that this ancient battlefield holds Divine Medicine, so it’s possible that some terrifying beings could have emerged.”
The mole became a bit panicky, standing upright and looking around.
“You really are as timid as a mouse, my Elder Tu. Weren’t you the courageous one?” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle teased.
The Mole hurriedly shook its head, “It’s not that I’m timid, but rather, I suddenly sensed a suppression connected to our bloodline!”
A solemn expression appeared in the eyes of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle as it keenly sensed the surroundings, “A divine beast of the rodent kind?”
However, in its sensing, it did not detect the presence of a divine beast.
Within Li Cheng’s Immortal Sense, everything was as normal as well.
“Come on, stop being superstitious and continue!” Li Cheng said.
The Mole nodded but obviously became more cautious as it continued to teleport to the next location.
“Be careful down here. It’s likely to be something like Divine Medicine or
Divine Fruit!”
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle nodded and carefully dug through the layers of the earth.
After digging down for just over ten miles, an underground space about two miles wide appeared, within which lay a segment of animal skeleton, like jadeite, with a small green plant growing underneath it!
“Fell Dragon Grass!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan exclaimed.
Li Cheng only glanced at the small grass before his gaze shifted to the skeletal remains.
“Azure Dragon! Good heavens, even an Azure Dragon has fallen!” The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle landed on the skeleton, tapped it with its claw, and a clear ringing sound emanated.
“The power contained within this skeletal segment is nearly depleted. It must have been absorbed by the Fell Dragon Grass, which has yet to mature,” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle added.
Li Cheng, puzzled, said, “Fell Dragon Grass, the Divine Medicine that only grows around the corpses of the Dragon Clan. But I heard that the Azure Dragon isn’t part of the Dragon Clan.”
“You said it yourself; it’s only what you’ve heard. But in fact, the Azure Dragon is part of the Dragon Clan. Every major world births the Four Spirits, and this Azure Dragon must be one of the Four Spirits of the Kunlun Realm.
Without pondering any further whether the Azure Dragon was part of the Dragon Clan, Li Cheng enveloped a ten-mile radius of the earth with his Domain and moved everything into the Fire Mysterious Realm.
He took the essence within the Azure Dragon’s skeleton, essential for the growth of the Fell Dragon Grass, figuring it might mature someday.
Mature Fell Dragon Grass is genuine Divine Medicine, its value beyond measure.
“There are quite a few divine objects in this region; it seems to be the site of a brutal battlefield!” The Mole commented and then teleported tens of thousands of miles away.
Deep within the earth, a hundred miles down, they found two headless Divine Bones, emitting the forces of Earth and Wood respectively.
Looking at the two Divine Bones, Li Cheng became even more curious, “Reaching the pinnacle of understanding Laws can lead to divinity. Could it be that after becoming divine, one’s divine body condenses based on the Laws they have mastered?”
“That’s unclear. If we find more Divine Bones, we might be able to speculate further. With only four so far, we can’t generalize,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan mused.
The Mole cleared its throat, “Boss, what we should really be concerned about is why they are all headless Divine Bones!”
“Keep searching. With enough Divine Bones, we might be able to understand why,” Li Cheng responded.
The Mole, helpless and suppressing the unease in its heart, continued to teleport.
Not even a thousand miles away, the Mole pointed at the ground again.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle used the same approach, and this time, they found another headless Divine Bone, emitting energy vibrations of the Water attribute.
“Now we have one of each of the Five Elements. How strange, could they be ancestors from the Immortal World’s Five Elements Sect?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan speculated.
Li Cheng, knowing little about the Immortal World, looked curiously at
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan chuckled, “The Five Elements Sect claims its heritage comes from the previous era, which I initially doubted. But every disciple of the Five Elements Sect has a single attribute Spiritual Root and cultivates techniques of their respective attributes, which seems somewhat similar to the aura emitted by these Divine Bones.”
“A sect producing so many deities?” Li Cheng was skeptical.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan shrugged, “Who could know about things from the previous era? But these five Divine Bones must be among the weaker deities; of that much, I am sure.”
“The one in the Tower of Chaos might know, but let’s not worry about that now. Let’s try to find as many treasures as we can and figure out how to question that fellow later,” Li Cheng said.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded in agreement, “That fellow has survived for hundreds of millions of years in a State of Remnant Soul, presumably through the special properties of the Tower of Chaos and the Corpse-wrapping Cloth. Otherwise, he shouldn’t have lived so long. He probably can’t leave the Tower of Chaos, so he shouldn’t be too hard to deal with.
Li Cheng felt the same way.
“Stop talking about that. Look at the Mole, its eyes are shining, and it’s drooling. It must have found some incredible treasure!” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle remarked.
The Mole hurriedly extended its paw to wipe the corner of its mouth and then sighed in relief, “Drooling? Of course not. But indeed, I have discovered some incredible treasure!”
