Chapter 2153: Chapter 959: Wuxiang Bone Court, Nether Ruins Stone Mine_2
The land of Holy Origin in this area is relatively sparse, partly due to this reason.
As Han Yi approached, the skeleton transformed into an oddly-shaped land. After landing, he headed towards the location given by the Tao God.
The Wuxiang Bone Court is divided into five regions: east, west, south, north, and central, corresponding to the limbs and torso of the skeleton.
Han Yi landed in the southern region, which is the position of the skeleton’s left leg.
His destination lies in the central region, the torso of the skeleton.
Ten minutes after setting foot on the Wuxiang Bone Court, Han Yi experienced a pursuit. It involved cultivators, all of whom were Heavenly Sovereigns; their fighting styles broadened Han Yi’s perspective.
Regardless of whether it was their ancient artifacts, jade talismans, or arrays, all were related to the skeleton.
To put it more directly:
Bone Artifact, Bone Talisman, Bone Array, Bone Technique.
Whether in attack, defense, or other combat styles, all were connected to the skeleton.
Although Han Yi had previously understood the situation here, witnessing this battle was exceptionally strange, giving him new insights.
As he ventured deeper, he encountered increasing numbers of battles. Everything here seemed extremely chaotic; many cultivators would fight at the slightest disagreement, exhibiting weak emotional control.
“Six Desires, this Chaos Realm region, including three Holy Origin lands, are all influenced by the Six Desires Qi, unable to achieve the same level as the Ten Thousand Dao Ascension Zone in terms of Taoist Heart tempering.”
Thinking of this, Han Yi’s heart felt a slight chill.
Since coming from the Tao Spirit, stepping here could easily subject him to the influence of the Six Desires Qi; although he hadn’t felt any issues thus far, it could erupt suddenly if it continued.
Therefore, he used the Eternal Realm Technique to envelop himself, isolating the intangible and formless influence of the Six Desires Qi.
However, the Eternal Aura emanating from him prevented many troubles; upon sensing his aura from afar, cultivators below the Eternal would avoid him.
The cultivators here were somewhat unusual but not foolish; provoking the Eternal could bring the Death Tribulation upon them.
Along the way, Han Yi encountered several Eternal Cultivators. These Eternal Cultivators were exceptionally wary of him, so Han Yi kept clear of them.
By the time he reached the central region, half a month had passed.
The central region is the core of the Wuxiang Bone Court, the dwelling place of the Master who established this land of Holy Origin.
Upon entering the central region, Han Yi exercised greater caution; there were more Eternal Cultivators here, so he aimed to avoid combat.
He stopped before a cave in the central region.
His destination was here.
This cave is known as Daque Heart Cave, which existed from the initial construction of the Wuxiang Bone Court.
Inside the Daque Heart Cave grows a rare flower called the Daque Heart Flower, which has broad applications in medicine refinement, cultivation, and even artifact refining.
For those at Half-Step Transcendence, this rare flower is quite effective.
Han Yi was not here for the flower this time; at the very bottom of the Daque Heart Cave is a vein of ore known as Nether Ruins Stone.
The Nether Ruins Stone is a powerful material used for crafting an Eternal Artifact Embryo. Extracting this vein of Nether Ruins Stone is sufficient to forge an Eternal Divine Soldier.
He stepped into the Daque Heart Cave and descended all the way to the bottom.
At the bottom of the Daque Heart Cave were traces of other cultivators; Han Yi even encountered several at Half-Step Transcendence.
Following the markings of the Tao God, he found the Nether Ruins Stone Mine three days later.
After surveying the size of this vein, he nodded in satisfaction; it was indeed enough to forge an Eternal Divine Soldier.
The size of this Nether Ruins Stone Mine roughly equaled ten times the combined area of the Nine Realms united from the initial Extreme Ancient Great World.
Once forged into shape, it would only take a wisp of its aura to directly collapse the Extreme Ancient Great World.
This is the strength of an Eternal Divine Soldier.
Immediately.
Han Yi began extracting from the vein, during which the entire Daque Heart Cave started shaking, and the frequency of its tremors grew faster and faster.
The cultivators within the Daque Heart Cave began to panic.
“What’s happening? The cave is shaking; my Bone Beast feels intense danger.”
“Is some Bone Venerable seeking something?”
“Could it be an Eternal experimenting here?”
“Ridiculous! There shouldn’t be anything here that interests the Eternal, so how could it attract an Eternal Bone Venerable?”
“This isn’t good. The cave is shaking too violently and might collapse soon. Quick, escape outside.”
Han Yi paid no attention to the cultivators within the cave; at his realm, he was long strong enough not to fear these insignificant causes and effects.
Three days later.
He completely extracted the vein.
The color of the Nether Ruins Stone was deep silver; the vein appeared like a spine, serpentine and rugged.
Han Yi opened a vast space within himself specifically to store this Eternal Artifact Embryo.
Upon bearing this Eternal Artifact Embryo, he felt his ‘weight’ significantly heavier than before.
The grade of the Eternal Divine Soldier is akin to that of the Eternal Cultivator; in other words, he now bore twice his existence, naturally feeling the heaviness.
With the Nether Ruins Stone stored away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But at that moment, he sensed something, looked skyward, eyes half-squinting, emitting a sharp gleam.
“Nether Ruins Stone?”
“Such a large vein; this Nether Ruins Stone Mine can definitely forge an Eternal Bone Artifact.”
A joyful voice echoed through the Daque Heart Cave, followed by the arrival of a young man in a blue robe, his face cunning and vicious.
The young man’s gaze bypassed Han Yi, looking down to the bottom of the cave, his Tao Thought sweeping unrestrainedly, sensing the extracted vein’s size and nature.
Immediately, upon identifying the vein, he focused his gaze on Han Yi.
“I am Mu Qiong, the Nine Cosmos Master Hall Master of the Wuxiang Bone Court.”
“You are unfamiliar to me, Daoist.”
“Using an Ancient Technique to isolate the inside and outside, you should not be a Six Desires Cultivator, Daoist.”
“Hand over the Nether Ruins Stone Mine, and I can offer you some compensation.”
“Otherwise, Daoist, you won’t leave the central region.”
The cunning young man laughed coldly while his smile emitted boundless killing intent.
Below, Han Yi, who had just put away the Nether Ruins Ore, showed a grave expression.
He sensed a powerful threat from this cunning young man.
This Eternal Cultivator, with a self-reported identity from the Nine Cosmos Master Hall of the Wuxiang Bone Court, was of noble status and surely exceptionally strong.
No wonder, when faced with an Eternal like himself, he acted so brazenly.
Of course, as an Eternal, Han Yi did not fear his opponent.
He didn’t say much; he made a direct move, given this was the central region. If this Nine Cosmos Master Hall Master called more Eternals, he might truly fall here.
This time, he carried many items, not to mention the recently acquired Nether Ruins Stone. He also had the Great Yama Spirit Suppression Map, Shattering God Mountain, Creation and Destruction Divine Sword, etc.
Except for the most important Heavenly River Mystic Pillar, which remained in the Tianhe Chaos Realm, all other weapons that Eternals could slightly use were with him.
He started with the Great Yama Spirit Suppression Map; although this weapon was incomplete, its essence was an Eternal Divine Soldier, and in its complete form, it ranked high among Eternal Divine Soldiers.
Thus, upon his strike, Han Yi immediately summoned this Divine Weapon.
Swoosh!
A massive scroll unfurled, with golden and silver symbols and starlight appearing on the scroll.
When the scroll unfolded, it instantly filled the entire Daque Heart Cave.
Han Yi’s aura was concealed by this scroll.
Above, Mu Qiong from the Wuxiang Bone Court sneered and slashed downward.
A cold light streaked from his fingertips, within which a Bone Shuttle fell toward the scroll below.
The next moment.
The Bone Shuttle pierced the scroll directly, which caused Mu Qiong to pause briefly.
Immediately.
He looked furiously upward, his anger surging.
“Humph, trying to escape?”
Before his voice finished, the scroll below began to dissipate, while at the mouth of the Daque Heart Cave above Mu Qiong, a figure emerged—Han Yi.
Han Yi was cloaked in a scroll, the scroll rotating slowly.
Earlier, he used the Great Yama Spirit Suppression Map to mask his aura, bypassing Mu Qiong from below, reaching this cave entrance.
Indeed.
He did not intend to confront this Eternal Bone Venerable of the Wuxiang Bone Court head-on but planned to flee; after all, this was the opponent’s territory. An appropriate retreat was the right move.
When he forged the Eternal Divine Soldier, there would be ample chance to face Eternity in battle.
