Like a Dream Chapter 53 The Corpses in the Belly of the Mountain
The blood of the Great Demon in the late stage of the Jiedan was originally suitable for those who broke through to the fourth turn of the Quenching Body, but the Burning Heaven Treasure Blood now only allowed Xiong Huobao to reach the realm of the second turn of the Quenching Body.
Without the assistance of stone berries, the essence of the Burning Heaven Treasure Blood is bound to be wasted, and in the end, the flames on the surface of the body are formed by the escaping blood, but he was cut off and washed once, and the impurities accumulated in the body due to the acquired diet, medication and injury were burned a lot, which was much better than all the quenching pills he had taken.
He closed his eyes and carefully felt the small triangular bone in his chest, he had always had a thought, whether this bone would be some kind of treasure bone implanted by Grandpa since he was a child, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't comprehend any treasure from it, usually it looked the same as an ordinary bone, if it was inactive, but it could actively absorb external energy, and every time it would feed back to the flesh, which seemed to be beyond the characteristics of the treasure bone.
This bone complements the nameless mantra that Grandpa taught him, and can help him refine the heavenly and earthly treasures faster and more thoroughly, but it is limited to the flesh and bones of demon beasts like the nameless mantra.
The xiphoid cartilage is not like a treasure bone, and the nameless mantra is not like a body quenching exercise, Xiong Huobao feels that he has a treasure but no key, and his heart is itchy but he can't grasp it.
On the second day, the three of them carried broken swords in their hands and followed the flow of the lake to find a way out, and the underground karst cave was undulating, and when they encountered the low part of the passage, they often had to go forward with their waists bent, and sometimes even had to go into the water.
"Do you feel like the water is getting hotter?"
The white mist on the underground river channel became more and more steaming, and finally it boiled and rolled directly, and the water became shallower and shallower, and finally in a slightly larger cave, the dark river no longer spread, and the ground was full of cracked reddish-brown rocks.
They walked for a day in the underground caverns, but they didn't find their way out, but they came to a gorgeous lava world.
As far as the eye could see, it was a dazzling red, and below it was a churning lava lake, and the heat from it made them feel as if they were about to be roasted dry. There is a half-zhang wide stone bridge over the lava lake, which is not more than a foot from the surface of the lake, and the occasional surging magma will splash on the bridge.
On the other side of the lava lake, a deep and dark cave leads nowhere.
"That's the Fire Yuan Stone!"
Xiong Huobao found that the red spars of different sizes embedded in the surrounding rock walls were actually the fire yuan stones for cultivating hard currency.
"If you can't get out, it's useless." Zifu poured cold water on his head, making him calm down instantly.
"Something is better than nothing." Xiong Huobao said stiffly, and then changed the topic: "Do you think there will be demon beasts in the magma?" โ
"It seems like there's really something." Guo Fan said suddenly.
"What?"
Guo Fan stretched out his hand and pointed, "Look there, what is it?" โ
Zifu and Xiong Huobao looked at Guo Fan's hand, and sure enough, something floated up from time to time in the tumbling magma, exuding a crystal luster.
"Why do you look like a skeleton?" Xiong Huobao Road.
"The bones aren't burned to ash in the magma, and how can they be this color." Guo Fan felt impossible.
As the magma rose and fell, the three of them gradually saw the crystal ruby thing, which was really a human skeleton, still cross-legged.
"Could it be a special magic weapon?" Guo Fan guessed.
Zifu's face was suddenly full of seriousness, "Maybe it's really a human bone." โ
Xiong Huobao looked at her and waited for the following, Zifu is a child of the Immortal League outside, and her knowledge and knowledge are much stronger than them, so there must be a basis for her to say so.
The three of them cautiously walked up to the stone bridge above the magma lake, and when they came to the top of the crystal bones, they could see that the bones were translucent, like fiery red jade.
"What man's bones look like this?" Guo Fan was still puzzled.
Xiong Huobao suddenly said, "The treasure bone looks similar to this. โ
Guo Fan took out the wood attribute treasure bone that Xiong Huobao gave him, showing a dark green translucent shape, except for the different colors, it was indeed extremely similar.
Zifu opened his mouth and said, "When cultivating in the Inscription Realm, I will choose a bone to carve the rune of comprehension and form my own treasure bone. โ
Xiong Huobao and Guo Fan looked at each other, looked at the skeleton in the magma and said, "Then this whole ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"Those who can transform the bones of the whole body into treasure bones are at least the power of the Venerable Realm!" Zifu's tone was full of awe and yearning.
"What... What is His Holiness? Xiong Huobao asked softly.
Guo Fan also looked at Zifu curiously.
"Quenching the body - blood condensation - inscription - spiritual aperture - Venerable, the powerhouse of the fifth realm is called the Venerable, whether it is physical cultivation, qi cultivation or demon clan, it is called so."
The Fifth Realm!
"What about after His Holiness?" Xiong Huobao said curiously.
Zifu said quietly: "Emperor-level powerhouse." โ
"Emperor?"
"You've always heard of the Five Ancient Emperors, right?"
Guo Fan shook his head blankly, and Xiong Huobao on the other side suddenly had a bright eye, and he was right, "I've heard this, I know!" โ
Guo Fan looked at him in surprise, Zifu is the Immortal Alliance's knowledge, forget it, why have you heard of it?
"Now the sect masters of the ten schools of the Immortal Alliance are said to be masters of the Venerable Realm, and the emperor level is already a legendary realm."
Xiong Huobao also wanted to ask about the Five Ancient Emperors of Zifu, but saw Zifu suddenly raise his whip and throw it at the skeleton below.
Failed three times, and finally rolled up the calf bone on the skeleton for the fourth time. Unexpectedly, Zifu stumbled and didn't pull it up.
"Help me!"
Xiong Huobao and Guo Fan hurriedly stretched out their hands, and with the strength of the three of them, they dragged the bones up from the magma.
"Knock~"
The bones fell on the rocks with a sound of gold and iron.
Zifu's long whip magic weapon actually ignited a flame at the end, and looking at her distressed appearance, this magic weapon was not lightly damaged.
The three of them stared at the transparent bones carved from jade, but they didn't dare to touch each other, because it was too hot.
"Ding~"
A rusty broken knife slashed at an arm bone, and the broken knife immediately had an opening.
Xiong Huobao suddenly thought of a question: "According to your meaning, this whole body should have become a treasure bone?" โ
Zifu seemed to know what he was going to ask, and said: "The treasure bones cultivated by the human race can indeed comprehend the treasure arts, but if the realm is too different, not only will it be difficult to succeed, but it is also very likely to damage the sea of knowledge, and in serious cases, it will become an idiot or even die on the spot." โ
Xiong Huobao, who was eager to try, suddenly collapsed, but immediately he asked again: "The treasure bone can be implanted in the body to replace its own bones, and the shape of the treasure bones of the demon beasts is strange, isn't the treasure bone cultivated by the human race itself very sought-after?" โ
Zifu said coldly: "Unless the bones are irreparably traumatized, don't easily replace your own bones, and it's best not to embed the treasure bones in your body." โ
Xiong Huobao was puzzled: "Why? โ
He had embedded all the fire attribute bones he had obtained in his body, and they had all been digested and absorbed!
"Physical cultivation and demon beasts rely on condensation and strengthening bloodlines to improve the strength of the realm, foreign treasure bones belong to different kinds of mixed blood, unless they come from the same source, it will only increase the difficulty of cultivation, if there is too much mixed blood, it will pollute their own bloodline, causing regression in cultivation and even a decline in the root bones."
Guo Fan suddenly said: "No wonder Yin Xuanhuang never embeds treasure bones in his body. โ
Xiong Huobao was in a heavy mood at this time, as if he had been hit by a critical attack. No one had ever told him, and the old man wouldn't tell them anything!
This... How can this be?
No, his treasure bones have been refined by the nameless mantra, and he hasn't seen any "mixed blood", and his cultivation speed hasn't decreased, what's going on?
Zifu didn't care about the preoccupied Xiong Huobao, and carefully observed the fiery red skeleton.
"This is really a human skeleton, or a fire attribute."
"This is~!"
Zifu suddenly noticed that there was a red bracelet on the wrist of the skeleton's right hand, which was also as crystal as jade and glowed red, looking exactly like the skeleton.
"What is this? Ritual weapons? Xiong Huobao, who came back to his senses, asked.
"There's a good chance it's a storage bracelet!"
Zifu was a little excited, but quickly sighed again, "But even if it's really a storage bracelet, we can't open it." โ
"Storage bracelets? Is it something similar to a storage bag? Guo Fan asked.
Zifu nodded and shook again, "They are all storage magic weapons, but the storage bag is mainly suitable for cultivators in the first and second realms, and they can be opened with only true qi, while storage bracelets, storage rings, and other cultivators who face the third realm are actually treasures, and they must be opened with spiritual thoughts, and the higher the grade, the more spiritual thoughts are needed." โ
Spirituality?
Only by cultivating the second realm of blood condensation and opening the mansion can the spiritual thoughts be generated, and the third realm inscriptions and the primordial fetal spiritual thoughts can be separated from the body, and it is indeed impossible for the quenching realm to open this storage bracelet by itself.
"Is it okay to have any spiritual thoughts?" Xiong Huobao asked.
Zifu was puzzled: "Spiritual thoughts are spiritual thoughts, as long as the original director's spiritual thoughts dissipate, whether it is human or demonic, it can be opened." โ
Xiong Huobao nodded thoughtfully, reached out and tugged at it, there were only bones left, but the bracelet still couldn't be pulled off. The broken knife in his hand was cut and pried, and finally the broken knife was completely broken, and the storage bracelet and skeleton wrist were still intact.
Xiong Huobao looked at the deep hole in front of him and said seriously: "Keep walking." โ
After saying that, he put the bones on his back, "It's quite heavy for me to go." โ
This skeleton is conservatively estimated to be about a thousand catties!
"You're going to take him with you?" Zifu's eyes widened.
"Otherwise, this is the treasure bone of the Venerable Realm, the whole body, and the storage magic weapon! No, storage treasures! โ
Xiong Huobao said as a matter of course, "The old men will definitely be greedy when they see it, maybe they will reward us with a mouthful of soup!" โ
The three of them groped their way forward in the dark cave for a long time, and were delighted to find that the passage was going up. But soon new problems arose.
"How to get there?" Zifu looked at the two forks in front of her and asked.
"Male left, female right?" Xiong Huobao proposed, thinking that his opportunity had come.
