Chapter 2087: Chapter 6: Destiny Divine Bone (Part 3)

"It turns out it’s still quite bustling here, and there are quite a few people."

Venerable Bamboo Sword looked at the fragmented skeletal remains below and the green wildfires burning everywhere, feeling somewhat sentimental.

The language barrier is really deadly, especially in the White Bone Divine Domain where only two True Word Decrees are universal; it’s difficult for scholars to learn them in a short time.

It’s easy to conquer the kingdom, but hard to govern it.

Venerable Bamboo Sword and Wei Tianchen reached a consensus: they must rely on Fubu City to collect enough resources for advancement.

"Now only you can come forward to govern this city," Venerable Bamboo Sword said. "Once I’ve changed my bone body, I’ll come to get you immediately."

Zhao Xing almost couldn’t hold back his laughter; Venerable Bamboo Sword and Wei Tianchen also suffered because of their lack of cultural knowledge.

"No problem, leave these to me."

Zhao Xing had Bai Junlan, Hu Qing, and Yan Yun use Dragon Language mana to spread words far and wide, speaking to those planning to flee Fubu City to avoid disaster.

"Roar~~~"

The contents of Bai Junlan’s speech were simple, roughly meaning: folks, don’t leave; the wise and courageous Senior Zhao is not a bad person.

Whatever Fubu City used to be like, it will be like that again—only better...

Zhao Xing almost burst out laughing: "Little Bai, is that how you console people?"

Bai Junlan: "Senior, you might not know, there has been much war around Fubu City, and Lord Yingzhuo harvests a wave of True Spirit Fires from the people every few years and sends them back to the Soul Well."

"Due to the trait of True Spirit amnesia, the people here are relatively... relatively..."

"Dim-witted?" Zhao Xing added.

"Yes, that’s the thing; they can’t understand anything too complicated."

"Alright."

Zhao Xing looked around and found it was true.

Some White Bone entities stood dumbly in the street, unaware even when something fell on them.

They seemed to have just crawled out from the Soul Well, their minds still bewildered.

The Divine Domain of Yuan seemed imperfectly constructed in the Reincarnation Path system; Zhao Xing watched as a third-stage red-skeleton just crawled out of the Soul Well, only to be burned to death again by bone poison wildfire from the battle’s aftermath, returning to the Soul Well once more.

Her original bone body was shattered, leaving some crystalline substance behind, while the rest merged into the ground.

And then, a white skeleton crawled out from the Soul Well, but this time it became a One Tribulation Realm; Zhao Xing didn’t know if it was the same one as before.

"Repeating the reincarnation from the Soul Well over and over again, after experiencing it multiple times, perhaps one might not even know who they are anymore."

"By then, these White Bone beings, even those from outside, will all become the ’natives’ of the Divine Domain, living here anew with new memories forming a new individual," Zhao Xing pondered.

Perhaps this is what Yuan intends?

The Soul Well naturally has the feature of the love potion, not to make people immortal, but to complete the true cycle of life reincarnation?

"Zhao Xing, come over here."

Just then, the voice of Wei Tianchen came from the City Lord Mansion.

Bai Lanjun then led his senior brother and sister, following Zhao Xing’s instructions to maintain order.

Swoosh~

Zhao Xing flew into the giant skull.

They were now following the cultivation style of the Xuanhuang Realm, with the taller humanoid skeletons being only about ten meters tall.

The skull of the beast in the City Lord Mansion, however, was over 8,000 meters tall, and much of the bone material inside had been hollowed out, forming individual rooms and structures. Wei Tianchen stood on a platform in the center.

"Doctor Wei, what plans do you have next?"

Wei Tianchen had also changed his bone body to a tenth-level Sun Bone. He was entirely purple.

At the moment, he was holding a large grayish-white bone with mottled spots, seemingly examining it.

"Take a look at this bone first." Wei Tianchen tossed over a bone about five meters long and half a meter wide.

Zhao Xing then saw clearly that the mottled spots were actually some patterns and runes carved on it.

"This was found under Zhuoying’s White Bone Throne; I don’t know what it records. Can you translate it?"

Zhao Xing examined it and found it was a relatively abstract set of runes, which he had never seen before, so he couldn’t understand it.

"I’m not sure; I can’t read it."

"But I can ask Bai Junlan if he can understand it."

"Then I’ll leave it to you," Wei Tianchen said. "It was found in Zhuoying’s treasures, so it must be valuable."

After a pause, Wei Tianchen tossed over a bone ring.

"Inside there’s resources that can cultivate up to Eight Tribulation True Spirit. Since you’ve cultivated Taichu Avatar, each set of advancement resources has ninety-seven portions."

"Your strength is too weak to resist Fan Qianrou’s restrictions. Even if you cooperate with me in research, you need to be strong enough."

Zhao Xing understood that Wei Tianchen intended to fatten him up before killing him, but those resources were exactly what he wanted.

"Alright, I’ll work hard on my cultivation."

.....

Time passed quickly, and it arrived at Yuan 375.

Zhao Xing and the others had been in the Xuanhuang Realm for thirty-three years.

Fubu City had restored its population to pre-war levels twenty years ago, surpassing even those numbers.

It wasn’t because Zhao Xing’s governance had such a significant impact.

Rather, it was because Wei Tianchen and Venerable Bamboo Sword started expanding wildly after occupying Zhuoying City.

They continuously expanded, looting resources from surrounding territories, mainly seizing the Soul Well resources.

It was a constant thirty-three years of war, as the two challenged the kings of surrounding territories.

Then they brought the resources back to Zhuoying City.

Fugui Territory had already expanded its territory five times larger.

They killed over thirty-four White Bone Kings; almost every year, a White Bone King fell to their cunning.

In thirty-three years, Venerable Bamboo Sword advanced from Twelve Tribulation True Spirit to Thirteen Tribulation.
