Chapter 879: Chapter 508: Physical Perfection! Qishan Spiritual Spring!
Chen Yuan opened his Heavenly Eye, gazing at the wisp of azure Qi Fortune slowly flowing into his body and absorbed by the dilapidated altar deep in his consciousness. The most update n0vels are published on NoveI~Fire.net
It was as if the sound of gears slowly turning, and a new guidance swiftly surged into his mind.
“A cloud over Qishan in the Northern Desert, celestial spirits descending upon the mountain peaks, a deep ravine in the northeast a hundred zhang deep, the Heavenly Water Spirit Spring linked to Heavenly Phenomenon!”
Northern Desert, Qishan, ravine, Spirit Spring.
Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered as he quickly discerned some details about this opportunity.
As he expected, this opportunity lay within the grasslands of the Northern Desert.
Before coming to the grassland, Chen Yuan had understood some details about the grassland, including Qishan, not merely a mountain but also a royal abode.
Known as the Qishan Tribe!
He didn’t expect it to be connected to his opportunity.
Spirit Spring… If everything goes as expected, it should greatly enhance his Qi Refining Cultivation, perhaps allowing him to break through to the Heavenly Core Peak.
However, he cannot go immediately.
Besides, the direction of the tribe does not align with his current path, he realizes there’s not enough time to break through before the three-year grand festival of the ancient Golden Royal Court.
Moreover, even reaching the Heavenly Core Peak seems to offer little fundamental aid to Moluo’s current endeavors.
Thus, he can certainly wait.
He’ll wait until the task at hand is completed and then pass through somehow.
This way, he could dispel Moluo’s suspicions.
Otherwise, continuously trailing him would certainly lead Moluo to doubt his intentions for heading straight to Qishan, whereas an ‘accidental’ encounter, although hard to believe, might be more acceptable.
After all, his luck has always been quite fortunate.
It’s not that he distrusts Moluo, but the secret of the Qi Fortune Altar is his greatest hidden card and reliance; it cannot be divulged to anyone.
This, he keeps in mind constantly.
Suppressing thoughts of the opportunity quickly, Chen Yuan’s gaze refocused on the desiccated corpse of Xiang Lingtian; it saved him quite a bit of trouble, directly died… dried in passing.
Upon returning, he could indeed take the head of this ‘remnants of the previous dynasty’ back to report.
The only curiosity lies in the blood-red bead floating above Xiang Lingtian’s corpse, and his bitter shout before dying; did the Clan Leader deceive him?
The Clan Leader… who is it?
Why deceive such an outstanding heir of the Xiang Family?
In Chen Yuan’s view, the strength and talent of Xiang Lingtian are absolutely the peak existence of the world, reaching the level of Zuo Chengzong, which he acknowledges even as an opponent.
Such a person, not to mention in the remnants of a dynasty from a fallen Xiang Family, but even among the world’s top ten Immortal Sects, would be an outstanding figure.
This term makes him think and ponder.
“What’s the senior’s take?”
After retrieving the Qi Fortune, Chen Yuan did not immediately step forward but sought Moluo’s opinion, as that blood-red bead was somewhat sinister.
“Perhaps… within the Xiang lineage are still contradictions unknown to us.” Moluo’s ethereal voice gradually emerged.
Chen Yuan continued to ask.
Soon, Moluo’s Primordial Spirit slowly materialized, beckoning with a hand, the sinister blood-red bead hovering over Xiang Lingtian obediently fell into his hand.
After a moment of careful observation, Moluo spoke:
“It’s considered a treasure able to absorb and store essence blood; given its appearance, it should contain the divine blood of Xiang Lingtian’s Xiang Family. If you devour it, there would be considerable benefits — enhancing your own divine blood force.”
Chen Yuan’s eyes moved, receiving the Blood Pearl.
This was somewhat surprising; does every Xiang family member carry such a bead to ensure their bloodline remains intact, or was it deliberately prepared for him?
It’s not unreasonable to think so; it’s indeed somewhat coincidental.
And his personality clearly tends towards skepticism.
“However, what surprises me is the crafting method of this bead bears some resemblance to Taixu Palace.” Moluo’s gaze was deep, pondering something.
This name wasn’t unfamiliar to him, as it’s among the ten Immortal Sects of Jianghu. Yet, it’s said to have secluded itself for many years, not appearing in Jianghu.
Unexpectedly there’s a connection with the Xiang Family.
Suddenly, Chen Yuan thought of the Qingyun Temple in the Capital, where Moluo discovered something amiss back then and suggested it might be related to Taixu Palace.
Is there a connection between Qingyun Temple and this blood-red bead?
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yuan gently stored the blood-red bead in the Heavenly Book Space, intending to visit the old head priest whom he had been avoiding once back in the Capital.
For reasons unknown, he felt this person might know something.
As for whether the bead harbors other mystical properties, it was irrelevant as the Heavenly Book Space is a realm itself, insulating any issues entirely.
Moluo’s gaze turned to Chen Yuan and questioned.
The reason is twofold: one, he is concerned about the bead’s origins and potential effects; secondly, it is unnecessary, as when his divine blood awakened recently, signs of enhancement were apparent.
He estimates that once he concocts the divine blood entirely, he would nearly reach the Perfection Realm of ‘Vajra Unbreakable’; using the bead would truly be somewhat wasteful.
