Chapter 488
488 Ancient ruins
Yunxiao was overjoyed. He stared at him and said, ” “So you do know. Tell me!”
Yuan gaohan was stunned for a moment before revealing an indifferent look,”This isn’t a secret. The immemorial astral wind is a thousand miles away. If you follow the direction of the sealed Wolf star, you’ll naturally encounter it. That place is an ancient battlefield and it’s extremely desolate. The immemorial astral winds have a certain pattern and once they appear, they form their own region that envelops the entire ancient battlefield. Once living beings touch it, they will immediately turn into mummies without any exception.”
“Yes, I understand.”
I have another question, ” Yunxiao said. how are you going to go back from here? I’ve seen the entire area and there’s no inter-domain teleportation formation. The teleportation formation in the Holy region should be a one-way teleportation, right?”
although my main body can’t sense what’s happening to me right now, there’s still a coordinate connection between the two, ” Yuan gaohan said. as long as I perform a space shuttle technique, I can return in an extremely short time.
“An extremely short time?”
so, I can’t let you go so soon? ” Yunxiao frowned. you mean I can’t release you so soon? ”
“What? Why?”
Yuan gaohan was startled, not knowing what he was up to.
if I let you go, your real body will immediately know what has happened here, and then you will open the domain-teleportation array and send a large number of experts here, ” Yunxiao said. wouldn’t I be dead by then? ”
“You … Then what do you want in order to let me go?” Yuan gaohan angrily said.
Yunxiao chuckled. I’m going to the gale land in the ancient times. Come with me. I’ll let you go when you come back.”
Yuan gaohan’s expression changed greatly, and he said in horror,”No! No way! That’s the elemental realmverse! Death is the only thing there!”
you’re a shapeshifter, ” Yunxiao said. what are you afraid of? ”
Yuan gaohan looked at him coldly and said,”What do you know? Even if it was a shapeshifting body, it could not resist the erosion of elemental power. I’m not that stupid to send you to your death!”
Yunxiao frowned. is it really that terrifying? ” he asked. I’ll need you to lead the way.”
Yuan gaohan was shocked and roared,”don’t go too far!” Otherwise, since I’m going to die anyway, I might as well kill you even if I have to risk my life!” His body emitted a violent aura, and the suppressed anger also exploded at this moment. The surrounding space was distorted to the extreme, and a large amount of Starlight was devoured. It was abnormally powerful!
In fact, with his strength, he could easily blow up Yunxiao.
Yunxiao could only smile wryly in his heart. He did not have the strength to fight with his opponent, so he could only hold the soul devouring banner in his hand and scare them. His face immediately darkened as he licked his lips and threatened, ” “Hehe, such powerful soul power, I like it. Even my Golden Soul slave can’t eat that much. I can still make a few soul nurturing pills.”
Yuan gaohan’s face was extremely pale. The soul nurturing pill was a type of pill exclusive to the soul Devourer race. As the name suggested, it was used to feed soul slaves, but it was refined from the soul of living creatures.
Due to his fear, the distorted space around him also shook with his trembling body. He shouted, ” “You untrustworthy animal! As soon as something happens to me, my main body will immediately sense it. Not only will it immediately open the teleportation array and come to take your life, but it will also exterminate the soul Devourer clan!”
Yunxiao looked at him coldly and said, ” “I’m going to die in the immemorial astral wind anyway, so what’s there to be afraid of? As for the soul devourers, I’m already dead. What does the sect have to do with me?”
“Y-you’re
Yuan gaohan was anxious. He had never seen such a ruffian before. He had always had a noble status. Unless it was someone of the same level, who would dare to speak to him like this? he was immediately rendered speechless, not knowing what to say.
Yunxiao’s face immediately turned red when he saw the man’s anxiety, and he said in a kind voice, ” master Yuan, on one hand, you will be completely demoted to an eighth-tier Alchemist, and on the other hand, you will take a risk with me. Besides, this ancient desolate land is a battlefield of ancient Almighty Warriors, and there have always been many rare treasures. Are you not tempted at all? ”
Yuan gaohan’s heart also throbbed with excitement. The first year he had come up to this foreign starry sky, he had already discovered that it was very strange and had picked up many good things, but it was also extremely dangerous. If he had not gone into seclusion to cultivate, he would have gone back and combined with his main body before bringing the experts back.
“Hmph, so what if I’m tempted? even if there are good things, do you think you’ll share them with me? I’ll thank the heavens if you don’t extort me! Put away your threatening gaze, I know you don’t dare to kill me!”
Yuan gaohan grumbled to the extreme. His last sentence was a test and also to boost his courage. Unless it was the last resort, he was not willing to give up his current soul body no matter what. It had taken him more than 50 years to reach the eighth level from the time his primary soul had been divided into two. If this soul were to fall, the main body would definitely be severely injured, and his life would basically be over.
Yunxiao laughed in his heart and said, ” who said so? I can swear on this soul devouring banner that as long as you accompany me to the land of astral wind in the ancient times, all the benefits will belong to whoever gets them, and I will let you go after the matter is done. Otherwise, the Golden Soul in this soul devouring banner will die and no longer listen to my command!
Yuan gaohan’s expression changed. He knew that the soul devouring tribe’s oath to the soul devouring banner was the most serious oath they could make. The importance of the soul slave in the soul devouring banner was the same as his Starlight soul body. They were both refined from a low level, and it was extremely difficult to get a second one.
“Good! I promise you, but on this journey, we must be treated as equals. You can’t threaten me!” Yuan gaohan felt that being so overbearing by a junior was very hurtful.
Yunxiao was overjoyed. Not only had he obtained the Supreme Starlight soul refining technique, but he had also found a powerful guide. He nodded and said, ” “Of course! You’re a senior in the art of cultivation, the Big Dipper Mount Tai, and I can’t even wait to respect you!”
Looking at Yunxiao’s sincere and respectful eyes, Yuan gaohan rubbed his eyes. After a moment of surprise, he wished he could punch Yunxiao’s face flat!
After the two of them finished their discussion, they rushed in the direction of the sealed Wolf star.
In fact, Yuan gaohan was also very curious about the outer realm starry sky, but the more important thing was to break through to the ninth-layer soul body, so he had been delayed and did not explore it.
Soon, a large number of man-made traces appeared in front of them. There were huge rocks and all kinds of murals. It turned out to be the ruins of a huge Palace. There were many rusty broken weapons on the ground, and even some dried corpses that looked like dead wood.
On the main beams of the palace ruins, there were all kinds of patterns engraved on them. The knife technique was vigorous and powerful, and just the knife carvings gave people a feeling that it was not simple.
There were also a large number of birds, animals, immortal Zoysia, and spiritual herbs. They had long gone extinct in the realm of heavenly martial arts and only existed in the descriptions of various ancient texts.
Yunxiao looked over bit by bit, not wanting to miss any details. Suddenly, his pupils constricted as he found that many of the boulders nearby had traces of man-made damage, but they were not the original damage. Clearly, someone had forcibly erased some of the chisels with force, not wanting people to see the contents on them, and many of the boulders had cracked as a result.
“These are Kasaya.”
Yunxiao turned to Yuan gaohan and asked, ” “What was originally recorded in this?”
Yuan gaohan’s heart skipped a beat and he quickly said,”How would I know!” But, how could his panicked look escape Yunxiao’s eyes?
“Hehe, master Yuan, since we’ve come to an agreement to explore the secrets of the outer realm, we shouldn’t keep anything to ourselves,”
Yunxiao said unhurriedly as he walked back and forth among the gravel.
Yuan gaohan snorted angrily and said,”Hmph, I didn’t want to. You forced me.” Besides, I’ve only been here for ten years. Look at the damage, it’s been at least a hundred years!”
Yunxiao picked up a crushed stone and weighed it in his hand, as if he was thinking about its composition. Then, he snorted coldly and threw it behind his head, saying, ” “Don’t take me for a fool! In this ancient desolate land, only the Holy region has the teleportation array, right? only the ancient evergreen tree in the demon Plains can open the space passage. Even if it was wiped away a hundred years ago, it must be the work of the Holy region! Don’t tell me you don’t know. If our cooperation is to be so guarded against each other and hide things from each other, then I can only painfully break my own oath!”
Yuan gaohan was startled. Although he was a spirit, he still felt a chill all over his body. How could this young man’s thinking be so sharp? It felt like talking to him was like talking to a Grandmaster of the same level. Whether it was his observation skills or his words, they were not something an ordinary teenager could have. Moreover, he had an eighth-tier soul body, so he could tell at a glance that this young man’s condition was very normal. It was definitely not some spiritual will possession or something of the sort.
Could it be that the soul Devourer race had produced such a genius?
In the entire continent of the realm of heavenly martial arts, there were countless people in the younger generation who had the strength and soul power of the sixth step. But few had both. In addition to this kind of vision and wisdom, it was almost unique! After a few decades, how terrifying would that be!
His fear of the soul Devourer race deepened.’No wonder han Yinshan would take the risk of offending me to nurture this young man!’
master Yuan, are you really going to force me to break my oath?!
Yunxiao’s cold words startled him out of his thoughts.
Yuan gaohan licked his lips and swallowed hard before saying,”Alright, you are indeed very smart. The imprints on these huge rocks were indeed destroyed by people of the sanctuary. As for the contents, you already know.”
“What?” Yunxiao’s brows furrowed as he asked in confusion, ” “What do you mean?”
“These huge rocks were originally engraved with the ‘Starlight soul refining technique’!” Yuan gaohan said with a bitter smile.
Yunxiao was taken aback as he looked at the destroyed boulders around him in shock and muttered to himself, ” “So the Starlight soul refining technique was taken from here. The composition of these boulders is not simple, and it doesn’t seem to be natural. This Starlight soul refining technique must have been an extremely powerful cultivation technique back in the ancient times.”
“Hmph!”
Yuan gaohan’s heart ached at the thought of the Starlight soul refining technique, and he snorted angrily,”That goes without saying! These Scriptures recorded in tadpole script are all Supreme divine arts!”
