Chapter 543: Chapter 542: Trading with the Holy Stone

Washed by the Holy Stone Water, Ling Fei’s Divine Soul Power sharpened like a blade, and his Power of Insight grew stronger.

’It’s working!’ Ling Fei was overjoyed.

His Divine Soul cleansing continued like this for half a day.

’Let me try condensing a Stone Pattern again.’ Ling Fei attempted to condense a Stone Pattern and merge it into his Divine Soul.

He had previously fused with a Celestial Stone Pattern, but that was in his Dantian.

Now he wanted to try it with his Divine Soul.

A Stone Pattern was drawn forth, appearing in his Sea of Consciousness and merging into his Divine Soul. Only then could he continuously comprehend its profound Mystical.

But just as the Stone Pattern took shape, it began to hum and tremble.

It was as if it was resonating with something.

’What’s making it resonate?’ Ling Fei thought in astonishment, spreading his Divine Soul Power to carefully sense his surroundings.

’It’s the Primordial Celestial Stone!’ Ling Fei finally discovered that the Primordial Celestial Stone was what made the Stone Pattern react.

This stone had been in Ling Fei’s Sea of Consciousness for a long time, constantly shrouded in hazy Dao Patterns with its aura completely withdrawn. Ordinary people would never be able to detect its presence.

But now, the Stone Pattern was resonating with it.

BUZZ!

The Primordial Celestial Stone sent out a ripple, as if it too had been stirred.

However, after sending out a single ripple, the Primordial Celestial Stone fell silent again.

It seemed the Stone Pattern was not enough to hold its interest.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

And yet, at the very moment the Primordial Celestial Stone sent out its ripple, the Holy Stone outside began to hum and tremble. The Dao Patterns on its surface bloomed, flaring like a Divine Dawn in the sky.

The Holy Stone resonated, and it was all because of Ling Fei.

The Dao Patterns on its surface flared like a Divine Dawn, enveloping Ling Fei.

Then, a Dao Pattern tried to enter Ling Fei’s mind.

’What’s going on?’ Ling Fei was taken aback. His Heart Spirit spread out, and he immediately detected the fluctuations coming from the Holy Stone.

This was the Holy Stone of the Stone Race, a supreme object, yet it was now stirred because of the Primordial Celestial Stone within his body.

’I’ll see what it’s trying to do!’ With a thought, Ling Fei allowed the Holy Stone’s pattern to enter his mind.

The moment the Holy Stone’s pattern entered his mind, Ling Fei saw it immediately reach out toward the Primordial Celestial Stone.

It acted as if it had discovered an incredible treasure, filled with excitement.

The Primordial Celestial Stone, however, showed little reaction to the Stone Race’s Holy Stone. It just sent out a single ripple before falling silent again.

Yet the Stone Pattern manifested by the Holy Stone was carefully sensing the Primordial Celestial Stone’s aura.

By the looks of it, the pattern had its own Spirituality. Clearly, the Holy Stone had sent its Spiritual Sense in with it, wanting to sense the infinite Mystical contained within the Primordial Celestial Stone.

’Could it be that my Primordial Celestial Stone is of a higher level, and that’s why this Holy Stone wants to comprehend its Mystical?’ Ling Fei was stunned.

After all, this Holy Stone was the Sacred Object of the Stone Race.

It was said that the race had once produced Divine Spirits and had even used the Holy Stone to crush one. This showed just how extraordinary the Holy Stone was!

Yet now, this very same Holy Stone wanted to comprehend the Mystical within the Primordial Celestial Stone.

Waves of shock crashed through Ling Fei’s mind.

He continued to observe with his senses.

Inside his mind, the Holy Stone’s pattern was trying to approach the area where the hazy Dao Patterns radiated from the Primordial Celestial Stone.

But it didn’t dare to act rashly.

The Primordial Celestial Stone, however, looked utterly disdainful. After that single ripple, it completely ignored the Holy Stone’s pattern.

But the Holy Stone’s pattern was quite shameless. It stayed right there, repeatedly probing the hazy area of Dao Patterns radiating from the Primordial Celestial Stone, as if trying to comprehend something.

’This...’ The scene left Ling Fei speechless. ’What kind of Supreme Treasure did Emperor Xi give me?’

He immediately released his Heart Spirit, sending it into the hazy region to try and perceive the mysteries within.

Unfortunately, all his Heart Spirit could perceive was a hazy world, like a chaotic Void. He couldn’t discover anything else.

’It seems my Realm is too low.’ Ling Fei sighed and withdrew his Heart Spirit.

If his Realm wasn’t high enough, he wouldn’t be able to see the profound truths within, even if they were right in front of him.

So for now, he had to take things one step at a time.

BUZZ!

Just as Ling Fei withdrew his Heart Spirit, the nearby Holy Stone pattern hummed, seemingly trying to communicate with him.

This surprised Ling Fei.

The Holy Stone’s pattern was very excited and eager to communicate with him.

’You want to borrow my Heart Spirit to sense the Mystical of the Celestial Stone?’ Ling Fei asked, stunned, communicating with the Holy Stone’s pattern via his Heart Spirit.

The Holy Stone’s pattern hummed, as if in agreement.

’Then what’s in it for me?’ Ling Fei thought.

BUZZ!

When Ling Fei’s thought was conveyed, the Light Patterns on the Holy Stone outside flickered, and a Divine Sense spread out.

"You may comprehend this one’s Supreme Dao Pattern and gain the Divine Techniques of the Stone Race!" a voice sounded in Ling Fei’s mind.

’The Holy Stone has a spirit!’

Ling Fei was startled for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

’A Supreme Treasure like this is bound to have a spirit. It would be stranger if it didn’t have Spirituality.’

"Supreme Dao Pattern?" Ling Fei raised an eyebrow. "I have the Primordial Celestial Stone in my Sea of Consciousness. Why would I need to comprehend your Dao Pattern?"

"This..." The Holy Stone was at a loss for words.

"This one can also owe you a favor!" the Holy Stone finally said. "You must understand that your Realm is currently too low to comprehend the Mystical within the Primordial Celestial Stone. However, this one’s Supreme Dao Pattern is perfectly suited for you to comprehend right now. For you, this is a tremendous opportunity."

"Owe me a favor?" Ling Fei’s brow arched. "That’s a bit stingy, isn’t it? Make it three favors!"

"..." The Holy Stone was speechless. In all its countless years of existence since gaining a Spiritual Sense, it had never met anyone who dared to haggle with it.

"Fine, this one can owe you three favors!" the Holy Stone said after a brief moment of deliberation.

"That’s more like it." Ling Fei nodded in satisfaction. He had no idea what a favor from the Holy Stone was worth, but one was definitely too few. Three was barely acceptable. If he knew more about the Holy Stone, he would have pushed for even more conditions.

"However, you have to give me your great Dao inheritance first," Ling Fei added with a thought.

’If this Holy Stone gets what it wants and then goes back on its word, who can I complain to?’

So, he had to get the inheritance first.

"Are you doubting this one?" the Holy Stone raged.

"Ahem, yes, I am doubting you," Ling Fei replied with a dry cough, not bothering to hide it.

This made the Holy Stone choke with anger. If it had blood, it would have coughed up three liters of it.

In the end, the Holy Stone had no choice but to begin imparting the Celestial Stone Dao to Ling Fei.

"This one is a Celestial Stone, innately containing the patterns of the great Dao... Stone... its weight can crush the heavens and the earth..."

"If subdivided, it can manifest as a Gravity Domain Field... Wherever the Dao Pattern reaches, one can also form a Celestial Stone body, impervious to blades and flames..."

The Holy Stone explained, detailing the profound wonders of its inheritance.

’It can become a Domain Field, turn into a Celestial Stone, and suppress the entire world!’ A glint flashed in Ling Fei’s eyes. Listening to the Holy Stone, it seemed the Stone Race was indeed incredibly powerful.

"You’re not just trying to fool me, are you?" Ling Fei asked, raising an eyebrow.

"What the hell?! You’ve already used this one’s Holy Water for Washing Marrow and Sinews, and you still dare to doubt me!" the Holy Stone roared, wanting nothing more than to slap Ling Fei to death.

But because of the Primordial Celestial Stone in Ling Fei’s Sea of Consciousness, it had no choice but to restrain itself.

’I guess that makes sense,’ Ling Fei mused.

"Fine. This is the complete Dao Pattern. You can merge your Heart Spirit with it now, and then you will help this one sense the Mystical within the Primordial Celestial Stone," the Holy Stone Spirit said in a stiff tone. "As for how much of the inheritance you can comprehend from this Dao Pattern, that will depend on your own aptitude."

As soon as it finished speaking, a complete Dao Pattern sank into Ling Fei’s mind.

Ling Fei immediately directed his Heart Spirit toward the Dao Pattern.

The moment he did, he felt a vast force field.

The moment his Heart Spirit sank into it, it was as if he had entered another world, completely bound by an invisible Power.

"This is a force field. Pushed to its limits, it can become a world unto itself. In here, you are the king!" the Holy Stone’s voice echoed in Ling Fei’s mind.

Then, the space rippled, and a giant boulder materialized, pressing down from above.

Instantly, the world shattered and mountains crumbled.

The sight left Ling Fei utterly shaken.

’So powerful!’ Ling Fei thought. ’A stone can be this formidable?’ He found it hard to believe.

"This is nothing! This one once helped an ancestor of the Stone Race crush a Divine Spirit!" the Holy Stone declared proudly.

"Is that true?" A glint flashed in Ling Fei’s eyes.

"Of course it is! Now hurry up and comprehend these Mystical!" the Holy Stone said proudly, manifesting various other phenomena for Ling Fei to study.

Ling Fei became completely immersed in the Mystical of Celestial Stone.

’The simplest aspect of the Celestial Stone is Gravity. By comprehending the Mystical of Celestial Stone and mastering Gravity, a single punch, when augmented by Gravity, will have its power multiplied.’

’Beyond that, there’s the Gravity Domain Field. It can form a small Domain Field to trap others. This requires immense strength to truly unleash the Domain Field’s power. With enough strength, the Domain Power could cover a thousand miles, ten thousand miles, or even an entire Star River...’

’There is also the Celestial Stone body. Gravity can be used defensively to block attacks...’

Ling Fei comprehended continuously, his understanding of the Mystical of Celestial Stone growing ever deeper.

This was truly a powerful Divine Technique Mystical Technique. If he could master it, it would be like adding wings to a tiger on his future path as an expert.

"Hey, kid, it’s about time you helped me!" the Holy Stone Spirit urged after Ling Fei had grasped the basics of the Mystical of Celestial Stone.

"Don’t you forget about those three favors!" Ling Fei reminded it.

"I won’t forget." The Holy Stone Spirit was speechless. This kid actually dared to doubt it, the magnificent Holy Stone Spirit.

In the Stone Race, even the top experts regarded it as a Divine Spirit!

Yet it hadn’t deigned to interact with anyone from the Stone Race in tens of thousands of years.

And this kid had the nerve to doubt it?

It really wished it could just slap Ling Fei to death.

But for the sake of comprehending the Mystical within the Primordial Celestial Stone, it had no choice but to endure.

Ling Fei then fused his Heart Spirit with the other Dao Pattern, the one containing the Holy Stone Spirit.

However, his mind and the Spiritual Sense of the Holy Stone Spirit remained separate.

After fusing with the Dao Pattern, Ling Fei willed it into motion, and it sank into the hazy region before him.

At first, the Primordial Celestial Stone reacted with rejection, a vast Celestial Might pressing down upon them.

The sheer pressure threatened to shatter Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit, and the Holy Stone Spirit grew incredibly tense.
