Chapter 2082: Chapter 5: Unexpected Gains

"What did he say?"

"Bai Lanjun wants to take us to a place called Fugui Territory, which is a gathering place with many powerful White Bone beings."

"Is that all he said?" Wei Tianchen felt Zhao Xing and Bai Lanjun had talked about many things. "You both glanced at me and Venerable Bamboo Sword just now."

"Oh, I said that you two are my seniors, with both of you protecting us, there’s absolutely nothing to fear from strong enemies, and we can completely relax and seize the Soul Crystals."

...

Venerable Bamboo Sword grabbed Bai Lanjun, Wei Tianchen grabbed Zhao Xing, and the four skeletons jumped into the Fire Pit, then traversed through the green fire.

Zhao Xing curiously asked, "Little Bai, can your Flame Array break the rule of instantaneously spanning thousands of miles?"

"The Flame Array of the Divine Fire Sect doesn’t violate the speed limit of instant spanning," Bai Lanjun said. "We are still bound by this limit while traversing in the Fire Pit, but it greatly shortens the distance from one Fire Pit to another."

"Similar to the divine skill of shrinking the earth to an inch?"

"Yes."

"Little Bai, you also use fire, do you know about the Li Fire Divine Sect?" Zhao Xing asked, "Their sect is also adept at manipulating fire, and they have built Fire Pits worldwide to use the Li Fire Altar for teleportation."

"Oh?" Bai Lanjun raised his head, the flames in his eye sockets flickering, clearly puzzled, "I’ve never heard of it, does such a sect really exist?"

"Of all the sects on the Xuanhuang Continent, I wouldn’t say I’m familiar with them all, but there are only a few that are adept at using fire. I am an elder of the Divine Fire Sect, on Li Huo Peak."

"Never heard of it?" Zhao Xing seemed pensive. "Little Bai, then do you know how many Divine Sovereigns there are on the Xuanhuang Continent?"

Bai Lanjun tilted his head: "I can’t remember, I just know there are quite a few, but apart from the Fiery Fire Divine Venerable of my sect and the Dragon God, I can’t recall the names of other gods... Senior, which Divine Sovereign do you venerate?"

"I venerate the Dragon God," Zhao Xing casually responded.

"The Dragon God? Is the Dragon God still alive?" Bai Lanjun appeared somewhat dazed, "It’s rumored that the Dragon God has fallen, and the Dragon Court has remained closed..."

Zhao Xing waved his hand, uninterested in explaining further.

Through his conversation with Bai Lanjun, he confirmed that the location of the Xuanhuang Realm hadn’t changed, but the timeline certainly didn’t match.

It’s very likely that the Xuanhuang Realm has reset a temporal instance, similar to the Transmission Building.

"Yuan 342, if that’s a space-time coordinate, it makes sense."

"Both I, Wei Tianchen, and Venerable Bamboo Sword don’t know when we started entering, it’s somewhat like entering the Transmission Building."

"Are we perhaps in a cycle of reincarnation in space-time?"

Zhao Xing didn’t intend to disclose his speculations to Wei Tianchen and Venerable Bamboo Sword, as it still required validation.

"Hoo~"

The green flames suddenly weakened, and the black earth returned to view.

Zhao Xing, Bai Lanjun, Wei Tianchen, and Venerable Bamboo Sword stepped out from another Fire Pit.

No other White Bone beings were around, the ceiling was a mountain wall, and the Fire Pit was set within a cave.

"Senior, this is another Fire Pit arranged by our Divine Fire Sect, only millions of miles away from ’Fubu Royal City’ in Fugui Territory."

"Fubu Royal City is the largest city in Fugui Territory, ruled by a king named ’Zhuoying,’ with seven Soul Wells inside."

"White Bone Kings, at minimum, are Ninth Rank fire seeds (True Spirit), according to the Xuanling Star Domain classification, they are at the Demigod level."

"The power of White Bones also reaches the Ninth Rank, possessing a powerful Bone Body."

"For instance, I am of the Bone General level, with a Sixth Rank fire seed (True Spirit), but I have acquired myself a set of [Bone Spirit Fire Body], and in fire manipulation for escape, even Eighth Rank beings can’t catch up with me."

Zhao Xing was somewhat curious: "Then do you think my two subordinates can take on that King of Zhuoying City?"

Bai Lanjun: "Undoubtedly, your two subordinates, their True Spirit has already surpassed the threshold of a king, but their Bone Body is still in its primal form, and hasn’t evolved through the Bone Body Magic Technique."

"In battle, it could be a disadvantage."

"Is there a cultivation technique here?"

"Of course. Both Bone Body and fire seeds have cultivation methods, and since the emergence of the Bone Yin Realm, secret techniques occasionally descend."

"It’s said that there is a Bone God Hall at the center of the Southern Continent, where one can receive divine inheritance and also find methods for flesh resurrection."

Zhao Xing nodded, then relayed parts of Bai Lanjun’s words to Wei Tianchen and Venerable Bamboo Sword.

"He said that this City Lord Zhuoying is a Demigod, and in the core region of the Bone Yin Realm, there is a temple where divine inheritance can be obtained, as well as methods for flesh resurrection."

"But only powerful city lords are eligible for an audience." This last sentence was added by Mr. Zhao himself. He took the opportunity to put Wei Tianchen in a spot.

"Venerable Bamboo Sword, we can eliminate Zhuoying and take over this territory," Wei Tianchen considered this a very good opportunity.

By occupying a territory and managing it, they could both seek fortune in the White Bone Divine Domain and begin addressing the seals left by Fan Qianrou.

"We can cooperate," Venerable Bamboo Sword nodded. Zhao Xing feigned persuasion: "We can’t directly confront Zhuoying; we need to strengthen the Bone Body first."

"The Bone Body is crucial here; it’s the foundation for exerting power."

"We’re all just Third-tier Bone Bodies..."

"No need to be so troublesome." Wei Tianchen interrupted: "Both Venerable Bamboo Sword and I possess Divine Objects, we can directly kill Zhuoying and obtain his wealth, naturally elevating the Bone Body rank."

Wei Tianchen, full of confidence, was determined to take down the local ruler right away.

He and Venerable Bamboo Sword flew straight towards Fubu City.

Before leaving, Wei Tianchen recited an incantation and tossed a shining Purple Gold Gourd from his ring, which poured out divine water, forming a shimmering golden-blue barrier. The barrier enveloped both him and Bai Lanjun together.
