Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1715 - 924: Capturing the Divine Remains, Freezing the Primordial Spirit (Part 2)

He slightly sensed Lu Qing’s location, then set off to join him.

A few breaths later, Zhao Sheng saw a huge flame light up in the darkness ahead, his eyes brightened instantly.

In the blink of an eye, he had crossed thousands of feet of water, saw Lu Qing transformed into a giant spirit of a hundred-foot flame.

Lu Qing, seeing his arrival, was also shocked, but soon transmitted his voice: "Taoist Zhao, you came at a good time! It’s quite lively over there now."

Zhao Sheng probed along the guidance of his will and immediately sensed two vast and powerful wills fiercely clashing in the waters five hundred miles away.

Looking closely, he found both parties were quite unusual; one side was a Demon Clan Great Ability with a white-browed indigo face, its form like a great horse monkey, while the other side was a red-robed monk with kind eyes and nine hair whirlpools atop his head.

The two sides hadn’t actually fought but were contending "inner strength" across the air relying solely on willpower.

Suspended at the fiercest point of their will clash was a bright silver wine pot.

The wine pot emitted a faint silver radiant light, exceptionally conspicuous in the darkness.

Zhao Sheng couldn’t help but be surprised at this sight.

"Taoist Zhao, should we go over there and have a hand in this?" Lu Qing transmitted the voice over, sounding somewhat eager to try.

Zhao Sheng thought swiftly, decisively refused: "No need! Treasures might be good, but it also depends on timing. Currently, who knows how many fellow daoists are watching secretly. It’s better for us not to intervene."

In the Burial Immortal Ruins where all things return to silence, if a treasure spontaneously emits brilliance, it means this item has already given birth to a True Spirit.

In other words, this bright silver wine pot is at least a True Form Spirit Treasure, and as for whether it is a Primordial Yang or Heavenly Treasure, it needs sacrificial refining to find out.

Zhao Sheng speculated that the treasure likely belonged to the True Form Spirit Treasure category; Primordial Yang and Heavenly Spirit Treasures that have awakened wisdom shouldn’t stoop to this dismal state.

Lu Qing, after flickering his body flame a few times, transmitted the voice with some reluctance: "So... alright! What’s most important now... is the Gun God’s Skeleton."

Zhao Sheng nodded, slowly shrinking his will fluctuation range, and focused his attention on Jixian Island, which was rapidly dissolving.

Without the support of the Gun God’s Divinity, the ice layer rapidly melted under the erosion of the black water.

Rather than melting, it was more aptly described as "polluting."

The Pure Water ice crystals and black water originally came from the same source, they quickly became indistinguishable once remerged.

In just a few hours, Jixian Island had "shrunken" to nearly half its size, and amidst the dense remnants of debris, a massive pale white skeleton gradually appeared within Zhao Sheng’s sensing range.

This pale white skeleton was like a coral reef stone riddled with countless holes, with a diameter of approximately thirteen hundred miles.

At first glance, it seemed as if the surface was completely covered with dense "coral stones," but upon further inspection, they were clearly countless oddly-shaped bone tumors and bone spurs.

The larger ones were comparable to mountains, the smaller ones were as fine as fish scale spurs, no more than one foot long.

Gazing upon the enormously large Gun God’s Skeleton below, Zhao Sheng’s heart stirred, and his will with heart light instantly transformed into an invisible giant hand a hundred miles across, slamming onto the dense debris above.

With a thunderous roar, countless debris shot towards the Gun God’s Skeleton, bringing along vast amounts of black water from the surrounding.

After one breath, the torrent of debris buried the Gun God’s Skeleton, yet a bizarre scene emerged.

The torrent showed no sign of slowing down, directly passing through the Gun God’s Skeleton, plunging into deeper darkness below and finally crashing into another side of debris.

The Gun God’s Skeleton remained silently suspended where it was, seemingly unaffected.

"As expected... already not in the same dimensional interface. What kind of realm was the Gun God in during his lifetime, could it be... the level of Constant Sun Golden Immortal?" Zhao Sheng’s mind churned, ceaselessly speculating about the Gun God’s past power and rank.

Lu Qing, observing his earlier action, couldn’t help but shake his head secretly, thinking: "Human Clan is indeed suspicious and cunning, looks like this king needs to devise several countermeasures."

Just then, Zhao Sheng suddenly transmitted: "Lu Taoist, about when will the Gun God’s Divinity revive?"

"It should be within seven days, the longest will not exceed nine days." Lu Qing quickly put away his small thoughts and secretly transmitted back.

Zhao Sheng nodded thoughtfully, a cold gleam quietly revealed near his right sleeve.

Time passed day by day, Zhao Sheng continually sensed the sudden appearance of unfamiliar will fluctuations.

By the fifth day, the old monsters no longer restrained their aura, each unleashed their self-will, occupying a piece of water territory.

Zhao Sheng and Lu Qing also occupied a space of several dozen miles and selected their target for action.

Over the course of five days, he discovered that around the Gun God’s Skeleton were seventeen strong will fluctuations, five of which were gathered together, while the lone individuals numbered only three.

Since the Gun God’s Skeleton was large enough, everyone had ample space, thus the scene was very harmonious, almost no fights occurred.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng felt increasingly unsettled, wondering why Lu Qing would voluntarily approach for an alliance if there was ample space?

There must be something fishy!

Consequently, Zhao Sheng secretly heightened his vigilance, and Five Zhas quietly blended into the Five-Colored Barrier, ready to defend against any surprise attack.

Time passed swiftly, and in a flash, three days went by.

In these days, Zhao Sheng kept his eyes glued to the Gun God’s Skeleton below, with his heart light of will ready to burst at any moment.
