Chapter 510: Chapter 489: Immortal Cave True Bone (Part 2)

During the Core Formation Stage, he had been known as the slayer of Core Formation True Men.

And now that he was in the Nascent Soul Realm, he was sure it would be no different.

It had only been a few years, yet several Nascent Soul True Monarchs had already died at his hands, either directly or indirectly.

This was bound to happen when one possessed the strength to fight above their level.

The thought of Lü Siwei tearing open the Blood Sea Sect’s Nascent Soul Realm with his bare hands filled him with envy. ’That kind of ability would suit me perfectly.’

Inside the Exquisite Primordial Pagoda’s space were several bottles of Gold Pills. Each one was the size of a longan fruit, and they clinked like gold and stone when tapped.

’What kind of Elixir is this? I’ll have to find an Alchemy Master to appraise it later...’

Bai Zichen’s knowledge of Alchemy was limited, but he knew any Elixir found on a Transformed Great Demon wouldn’t be ordinary.

Moreover, the Alchemy of the Demon Race was vastly different from that of the Human Race, following its own distinct path.

Often, what was a Miracle Elixir for the Demon Race could be a deadly poison to a Human Race Cultivator.

There were also three rolls of Dragon Hide and several hundred Dragon Scales, likely shed from Ao Zhe himself.

There were also several hundred Crystal Stones, all emitting a faint Dragon’s Majesty. These were the legendary Dragon Crystals, said to only form on the Relic of a deceased Tier Five Dragon Beast.

These Dragon Crystals were useless to other Demon Beasts, but to any Demon Beast with Dragon Race blood, they were like Immortal Dew.

The Refinement of a single one could cause a massive increase in Cultivation.

At the very center was another piece of Dragon Hide, clearly distinct from the other three rolls. It was older, more worn, and bore the weight of ages.

Upon it was a row of large, blocky, ancient characters. They looked as if they’d been smeared on with blood-red oil paint—careless and casual, with some marks even looking like they were wiped away mid-stroke.

But each character emanated an obscure Spirit Light, like a vortex that sucked his gaze in, refusing to let go.

"The Great Mighty Dragon Seal!"

Bai Zichen cried out in alarm, folding the Dragon Hide in half to cover the brilliance of the divine script.

As one of the most powerful divine scripts of the Demon Race, the Great Mighty Dragon Seal was synonymous with immense power. Only dragons of the purest bloodline could comprehend a few of its divine characters upon advancing to Tier Five.

When his Fire Dragon Returning Essence Scripture had first mutated after fusing with the Holy Beast Aura, the Fire Dragon’s back had manifested two and a half characters of the Great Mighty Dragon Seal.

’The Great Mighty Dragon Seal and the Great Virtue Phoenix Talisman are even older than the Flower Bird Talisman. Few even within the Demon Race can master them, let alone the Human Race... Ao Zhe must have been given this Dragon Hide due to his special status as a descendant of the Divinity Transformation Elder Dragon.’

Bai Zichen stroked it back and forth, feeling the disappointment of entering a Treasure Mountain only to leave empty-handed.

For a High Tier Demon Race member, this was surely a priceless Treasure. Even if they couldn’t understand the Great Mighty Dragon Seal, they might be able to comprehend some Bloodline Divine Techniques just by meditating on it day and night.

But a Human Race Cultivator who hadn’t learned the Great Mighty Dragon Seal could stare at it for a hundred years and gain nothing.

’If I could learn the Great Mighty Dragon Seal and comprehend the function of these divine characters, my Fire Dragon Returning Essence Scripture might reach a new level. Even if I’m bound to change my Main Cultivation Method in the future, just being able to enhance my Fire Spiritual Root a little more would be the greatest reward.’

In the entire Cultivation Realm, the only one who likely understood the Great Mighty Dragon Seal completely was that Divinity Transformation Elder Dragon in the Outer Sea—the one Ao Zhe called the Black Sea Venerable, the King of Ten Thousand Demons.

Besides him, even the Master of Qingqiu Death Sea and any potential Divinity Transformation Demon Venerable on Lankao Mountain might not understand it.

The Great Mighty Dragon Seal was, after all, the supreme divine script of the True Dragon Race.

After just killing its descendant and carrying its Holy Beast Essence Blood, going to its territory to ask about the Great Mighty Dragon Seal was something not even the most insane Cultivator would do.

He could only set aside the Dragon Race’s divine script on this Dragon Hide for now and hope for a fateful opportunity to study it in the future.

The Refinement of the two Spiritual Treasures, the Exquisite Primordial Pagoda and the Coiling Dragon Black Gold Spear, took nearly six months.

The latter didn’t matter much; he could foresee it having no practical use.

When he already had several Tier Four Flying Swords, a Low-Grade Spiritual Treasure clearly had no chance to see action.

The former, however, as a Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure and a Void Treasure at that, would hold a rather important place in Bai Zichen’s arsenal.

Especially in future fights against Nascent Soul True Monarchs, he could deploy this Treasure beforehand to seal the space, avoiding the awkward situation of being able to win but not kill.

’Of course, I need to understand my opponent’s capabilities first... I can’t be like Ao Zhe, who thought he had trapped his enemy but was actually trapping himself, leading to his own demise.’

He stored the Coiling Dragon Black Gold Spear in his Realm, while the Exquisite Primordial Pagoda was kept in his Dantian Qi Sea. The difference in treatment was clear.

Only then did he finally have time to deal with the massive Black Dragon Demon Body.

There was a mountain of flesh and blood, a set of White Bones that still exuded majesty even in death, and a bottle of extracted Essence Blood.

’I hope Ao Zhe had an Immortal Body, so I can forge the Immortal Cave True Bone... I’ve made a few too many enemies lately. I’ll only feel at ease with another life-saving measure.’

Bai Zichen had already made his plans. The flesh and blood would be for Genggeng to eat. He refused to believe that feeding his Spirit Beast so much Dragon Meat from a Tier Four Mid-Grade Great Demon wouldn’t raise its tier.

For now, he would keep the skeleton in his Realm. It would make a fine decoration.

Simply dismantling the Dragon Bones for Refining Magical Treasures would be a bit of a waste, as he wasn’t lacking ordinary Magical Treasures at the moment.

The puppet-making inheritance he had obtained included a method for creating a Tier Four Puppet that required the complete skeleton of a Transformed Great Demon.

If he met the right conditions in the future, turning it into a Tier Four Puppet might be a more useful application.

The Immortal Cave True Bone, the sternum, was an Immortal Bone based on the Immortal Body.

Once forged, regenerating severed limbs or even continuing to move after being decapitated would become trivial.

Even the most grievous injuries could be healed in an instant.

Of course, this would consume Qi, blood, and Essence.

Even if his physical body was completely destroyed and only his Nascent Soul escaped, as long as he had saved a drop of Essence Blood beforehand, he could reconstruct his body.

This meant that even if his body was destroyed, he wouldn’t need to seize another’s or start his Cultivation over. The benefits of this were far from trivial.

Naturally, a Heaven-Defying Divine Power like Blood Rebirth certainly had strict limitations.

After being used once, the Immortal Cave True Bone would disappear on its own, and it could not be forged again for a hundred years.

Following the cultivation method of the Nine Heavens Bone Forging Techniques, Bai Zichen drew in the refined Essence Blood and condensed it onto his sternum.

Countless mists of blood gathered and dispersed, continuously refining and transforming the bone.

Its original glazed-jade color turned into a swath of profound ink, as black as night.

Another hundred days later, the sternum turned pure white, as warm and smooth as jade.

After this cycle repeated three times, the entire bone finally developed a dual texture, shifting between black and white.

He could clearly feel that this bone was vastly different from before.

Moreover, it began to resonate with the Sun Element Copper Bone on his shoulder and the Celestial Might Star Bone on his forehead. An obscure connection formed between the three Immortal Bones.

’What a good dragon. Not only did it deliver Treasures, but it also offered itself up to help me forge an Immortal Bone... Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have known where to find a Demon Beast with an Immortal Body.’

The successful forging of the Immortal Cave True Bone proved that Ao Zhe indeed possessed an Immortal Body, not the weaker Self-Healing Body.

No wonder it had been able to withstand the Star River Sword Array for so long relying solely on its physical body.

If it had been facing anything other than the Taibai Sword Sect’s legendary second-greatest Sword Array in the world, it would have escaped no matter what.

Bai Zichen had essentially killed Ao Zhe more than ten times in a row within the Star River Sword Array before he finally broke through its Immortal Body.

Any other Cultivator, even a Great True Monarch, might not have had enough Grotto Heaven Power to do the same.

’The Blood Sea Sect has been annihilated, a Transformed Great Demon from the Star Constellation Sea died in Nan Chu, and the Blood God True Monarch is suspected of being possessed by a Demon Thought... The Southern Domain is bound to be eventful for a while. Especially with the matter of the transforming Demon Land, I’m afraid even the Moral Sect will send people over.’

Before coming to the Southern Domain, Bai Zichen never expected he would stay for so long and encounter so many unforeseen events.

He had only planned to deliver a Fire-Extinguishing Spirit Pill to help Master Qingmu purge the Demon Fire and cure his chronic ailment, then head to the Central Domain.

’But by a twist of fate, I mastered the Star River Sword Array in the Southern Domain and obtained a Tier Five Flying Sword—well, half of one... It seems traveling in the Central Domain isn’t the only way to make gains.’

Bai Zichen reviewed his progress. His gains in just a few short years in the Southern Domain were comparable to nearly a hundred years in the Northern Domain.

Of course, this was also closely related to his rising Cultivation and the increasing strength of the individuals he encountered.

’If I still can’t find a suitable Main Cultivation Method in the Central Domain, I could consider going to the Eastern Domain or the Western Realm... No, let’s put the Eastern Domain aside for now. It’s too close to the Outer Sea. If my whereabouts are exposed, that Divinity Transformation Elder Dragon might just come to kill me.’

Even if the Divinity Transformation Elder Dragon resided in the Ten Thousand Feet Water Eye and couldn’t leave, the Dragon Monarch, already at Tier Four Peak, grew more desperate for the Holy Beast Essence Blood with each passing day. It was highly likely his patience would run out.

A Tier Four Peak Great Demon... even with the Star River Array at his command, Bai Zichen still felt a chill in his heart, unsure if he could handle it.

The crucial point was that as the Master of Star Constellation Sea, it was impossible to guarantee the Dragon Monarch didn’t possess a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure. His strength would have to be estimated even higher.
