Chapter 158 : 119: Heavenly Aura Sword Array, Bones
The battlefield stretched nearly a hundred thousand miles, shrouded in a thick layer of haze. Explore more adventures at m,v l'e-m|p y r
Even at noon, with the sun blazing high above, the ground remained dark, impenetrable to the slightest ripple of sunlight, the air filled with an unsettling chill.
The ground underfoot was a dark brown, seemingly the residue of bloodstains.
On the Immortal Path and Martial Path, countless battlefields of various sizes spread across the Cangyun Realm, and this was but one of them.
Oftentimes, many nameless corpses could be seen half-buried in the earth.
Among them were members of the Human Race and the remains of unidentifiable demons, with fragments of chariots everywhere, and tattered banners hanging on broken blades and spears, fluttering in the wind.
Chu Zheng slowly walked across the battlefield, the wild grass under his feet thick, contemplating the desolate scene around him, he couldn't help but sigh.
This place had witnessed more than one war that reached the heavens, burying countless dragons and heroes of the human world.
After the long passage of time, none of these beings had left even a name behind, only scattered traces on the land telling tales of the fierce battles of the past.
[Jade Qilin Sect Battle Flag (Third Order/Incomplete): A treasure for formation by the Jade Qilin Sect, gathering the mana of forty-nine cultivators into one body, capable of slaying the Divine Infant when Spirit Energy is completely lost, repairable (0/50)]
...
[Sun Wheel Mirror (Fifth Order/Incomplete): One of the superior divine weapons, containing space within, capable of storing the Essence of the Great Sun, condensing the Great Sun True Flame to annihilate enemies, shattered by a single strike, space shattered, spirit energy completely lost, repairable (0/500)]
...
Prompts appeared one after another in Chu Zheng's mind, and he picked up everything that triggered the panel's notifications.
He quickly dove thousands of miles into the battlefield, but the yield along the way was not significant.
There was no trace whatsoever of Storage Magic Treasure fragments, or even the shards of fractured magic treasures.
This battlefield had existed for too long. For these fields left from the Ancient Era, the Holy Lands had already conducted countless clean-ups.
Almost everything that could still be used had already been taken away.
Moreover, this area was a Land of Absolute Spirit, where Spirit Energy quickly dissipated, and even Immortal Gold turned into ordinary iron.
After the clean-up by the Holy Lands, those somewhat stronger sects also came here to scavenge the ground thoroughly.
After that, smaller sects would come, and only then would it be the turn of those lower-level Loose Cultivators.
These Loose Cultivators, taking anything that could be used, virtually nothing useful would remain behind, only things that really had no practical use were left behind.
Things like fragments of ancient war chariots, remains, and overly shattered magic weapons and blades.
Such as fragments of Spiritual Treasures, which often contained various types of Immortal Gold and divine materials, beyond the capability of ordinary cultivators to purify and separate.
For those larger sects, the cost of repairing a damaged weapon or recycling the materials within was far less convenient and economical than directly forging a new Spiritual Treasure.
Along the way, what puzzled Chu Zheng the most was that among the myriad of bones scattered on the ground, though there was no shortage of Sixth Order beings, he had not seen a single remnant of creatures above the Seventh Order.
This place had once seen the fall of Demi Immortals of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, a fact recorded in many places, and not by just one person, so it shouldn't look like this.
The only explanation was that the bones had been taken away.
If it were merely for proper burial, there would be no reason to leave behind so many Fifth and Sixth Order bones.
Chu Zheng's mind suddenly stirred, recalling the ancient battlefield he had discovered earlier at the mines of the Phantom Spirit Sect, and he took out the half-palm bone he had found.
[Damaged Immortal Bone (Seventh Order): A relic of a True Immortal, once seized by an Immortal Path Cultivator and forcibly integrated into their body, beyond your current capabilities to repair.]
This piece of damaged Immortal Bone was, aside from cultivation techniques, the only thing Chu Zheng possessed that had reached the Seventh Order level.
When he had found this bone, he sensed its anomaly immediately.
After such a long time, this bone still harbored a thread of Qi, fermenting within.
In this bone, there still resided life force, like a dormant seed that, once merged with the flesh, could continue to grow.
This tremendous life force was completely absent in Sixth Order beings.
Seventh Order was undoubtedly a threshold, and beyond this barrier, even Chu Zheng's current repair panel was at a loss.
That Immortal Path Cultivator had forcibly merged this Immortal Bone into their body, clearly due to some reason.
Fondling the remnant bone in his palm, Chu Zheng was tempted to try integrating it into his hand to explore its mysteries, but after weighing the options for a moment, he put aside the idea for now.
Merging a bone of a deceased person into his body seemed somewhat ominous.
Seventh Order was still far beyond his reach at the moment. The path must be walked step by step, there was no need to rush.
Following the sensations from the Heavenly Divination Technique, Chu Zheng moved forward, stopping in a valley, and after a careful sensing, he reached towards the side of the mountain wall.
Boom!
Mana swept out, condensing into a giant hand of dozens of feet and instantly wiped away half the mountain wall.
The gust of wind blew past, scattering the rising dust, and the giant hand formed by mana reached out again, grabbing a half-broken sword among the scattered rocks.
[Heavenly Aura Sword (Sixth Order/Incomplete): Originating from a complete set of Heavenly Aura Sword Arrays, one of the three hundred and sixty assistant swords, made of Phoenix Blood Wood, with your current ability, only initial repairs can be made, Initial repair (0/10)]
Glancing at the prompt on the panel, Chu Zheng brought the broken sword in front of him to observe closely.
