Chapter 2030
As the lone figure and the tower ventured deeper into the eerie mountains, the surrounding scenery grew increasingly sinister—the dark rock walls glowed with a ghostly blue phosphorescence, withered ancient trees were entwined with black vines that resembled snakes, and in addition to the alluring fragrance, the air was filled with faint, almost imperceptible, sounds like bones grinding together.
As he went deeper, the two opposing forces, which had initially been vaguely sensed, became increasingly solid. In the end, Chen Xuan could even see them clearly with his naked eye:
On the mysterious plain shrouded in mist in the distance, a milky white mist was as smooth and lustrous as flowing mutton fat jade, while another scarlet mist was wrapped with blood-like patterns. The two were like living creatures, biting and intertwining with each other. Each collision splashed up fine fragments of light, which dissipated into the void.
Chen Xuan pushed his Sixth-Turn Battle Glazed Body to its limit, the shimmering white aura around him isolating him from the surrounding chilling energy; the small tower floated on his shoulder, its body radiating a pale blue aura, his divine sense sweeping across the surroundings like a fine net.
The two carefully bypassed the immortal-level array hidden behind the rock wall—the pale golden array patterns flickered in the void, and the slightest touch would unleash a sharp sword aura; they also narrowly escaped the scorching heat waves of the Pure Yang array, the flames churning within almost scorching through Chen Xuan's protective shield—after several twists and turns, they finally arrived near the plain.
The small tower trembled slightly, and the halo around its body suddenly brightened, its tone resolute:
"There's no mistake, this milky white mist is the divine substance left behind by the Jade Rao Emperor's Immortal Ancient Heavenly Fragrance Physique, while the other is the divine substance of the strange Ancient Ancestor's Compassionate Blood."
A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes, and he subconsciously asked, "Can the divine substance that the divine body of the Immortal Ancient Quasi-Emperor condensed after his death also be used by us as immortal energy for cultivation and manifestation?"
"What do you know?" The little tower's tone was tinged with displeasure, its body slightly warm, as if scolding his ignorance.
"These quasi-emperors have already perfected their foundations in order to cross the final half-step Emperor realm. Their physical bodies are treasures tempered by the laws of the Dao, and the Great Dao they cultivate is integrated into their souls. After death, as time goes by, these substances condense and manifest, which are a great fortune in this world."
It paused, its tone growing increasingly solemn: "If you, the younger generation, can obtain the legacy of the will of this ancient sage, and if you have enough opportunities, you will have another path to comprehend the path of the Great Emperor. This is an opportunity that is only seen once in ten thousand years."
Chen Xuan was deeply shaken, as if a door to a new world had been opened before him, and his gaze towards the two wisps of mist became even more fervent. After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "This place looks so dangerous, yet we haven't encountered many targeted methods since we came in?"
"You certainly know how to make sarcastic remarks." The little tower's tone was full of disdain. "Your talent far surpasses that of your peers, yet you were still tempted by the strange fragrance and had suicidal thoughts. If it were any other cultivator in the Void Returning Realm who had entered, they would probably have been torn to ashes by the array patterns as soon as they stepped into the mountains." It paused and added, "This place is a dead end for those in the Void Returning Realm and the Celestial Immortal Realm."
Chen Xuan nodded indifferently and said no more.
"You were able to witness these two great opportunities smoothly for two reasons: firstly, your own foundation is strong enough, and secondly, the wills of Yu Rao and Lian Xue are still fighting each other after their deaths, and they have no time to care about outsiders." Xiao Ta's gaze fell on the mist that was consuming each other in the distance, and his tone was serious.
"When you collect it later, you must use two storage treasures to collect it at the same time. If you only collect one, the other one will become the master of this place, and it will manifest its consciousness and annihilate all living beings within a radius of ten thousand miles."
Chen Xuan nodded solemnly, then flipped his hand over, and two palm-sized purple jade bottles appeared in his palm—the bottles were carved with fine cloud patterns and shimmered with a warm purple light under the light.
He slowly poured his magic into the bottle, then with a flick of his wrists, the purple jade bottle flew to the side of the mist like two streaks of light. The stopper popped open with two "bangs," and two equally strong suction forces surged from the bottle opening, slowly drawing in the milky white and scarlet mist respectively.
