Chapter 1807 The Great Sage's Bones, One Heart
Chapter 1807 The Great Sage's Bones, One Heart
Grandpa Qian's words completely relaxed Mo Fan's tense nerves, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't know what was inside the Time Coffin above the dome, that didn't matter. What mattered was that he no longer had to face the cruel reality brought about by time, and that was enough!
"Kid, do you still want to go back to the Nine Provinces Continent right now?" Old Master Qian chuckled.
"Uncle Qian, please stop making fun of me. I was just getting emotional."
Mo Fan smiled helplessly, then said with a firm gaze, "Since it's only a short thirty years, I can accept that, so there's no need to rush back."
"Let's go see what that thing is!"
"Yes, this immortal will guide you."
"After such a long period of turmoil last time, it shouldn't be that dangerous here anymore. However, you still need to prepare for the worst. After all, if a monster beyond the Great Saint Realm really targets you, even with my current power, it will be difficult to protect you," Grandpa Qian said solemnly.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on!"
Mo Fan nodded. Even after ten years, he still clearly remembered how terrifying that aura, which surpassed the Great Saint Realm, was, so he naturally dared not be careless in the slightest.
Next, following Grandpa Qian's directions, Mo Fan continued walking into the distance.
After traveling for some time, he saw a skeleton not far from a nest of corpse worms.
It was a human-shaped skeleton!
If they were outside, a skeleton would naturally hardly attract Mo Fan's attention.
But this was the first time Mo Fan had ever seen the skeleton of a living being, let alone a human-shaped skeleton.
More importantly, this skeleton was different from ordinary skeletons; it was entirely like jade and emitted a lustrous glow!
In addition, there was a tattered piece of blood-red cloth next to the skeleton, and the cloth was radiating the fluctuations of laws!
"This is... a damaged Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure?"
Mo Fan's pupils contracted upon seeing this!
He did not act rashly, but carefully examined the skeleton and found that its skull was broken beyond recognition, and several other bones were fractured, clearly indicating that it had suffered a terrible attack before its death.
"The fact that the bones are as white as jade indicates that this cultivator was an extremely powerful cultivator in life. The blood-stained cloth is also not simple; it is not an ordinary cloth but is made from the skin of a powerful being."
This should be a ghost-path immortal weapon, but unfortunately it is already badly damaged, and even the spirit inside has long since dissipated.
Although some residual fluctuations of the laws remain, they are no longer sufficient for your comprehension; it is now completely useless.
Grandpa Qian's voice echoed in Mo Fan's mind, his tone clearly tinged with regret.
"Ghostly Immortal Weapon?"
"Could this be a powerful Great Sage from the Nine Netherworld?"
"Or perhaps it is one of the powerful ghost emperors among these vengeful spirits in the sea of souls?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan's heart stirred slightly, and he couldn't help but speculate.
"This is highly likely."
"But this guy is quite something, managing to get this far."
Grandpa Qian clicked his tongue in disapproval.
Mo Fan nodded, because he knew very well how terrifying this place was. If it weren't for the wealthy old man guiding him, he probably would have died countless times already.
Even so, he almost died here two or three times.
These so-called Ghost Emperors are the same. Even if their divine sense perception range is stronger than Mo Fan's, it can't be much stronger. It's impossible for them to have the same far-reaching perception range as Master Qian.
Therefore, even the Ghost Emperor's divine sense wouldn't have much effect here; it's already quite remarkable that they were able to get this far.
Mo Fan sighed. Just as he was about to leave, he sensed something and casually raised his hand. The tattered piece of blood-stained cloth floated into his hand.
"What do you want this for?"
"Although this item is damaged, it was once a Heavenly Treasure, and the materials used should be considered top-tier materials in the Ghost Path. Rather than leaving it here, we might as well take it away directly."
Moreover, I sensed that there was a small space hidden within this tattered cloth.
Mo Fan smiled and then poured his soul power into it, and sure enough, he quickly discovered the space within the blood-stained cloth.
The space is vast, like a small world.
However, the place was deathly still and filled with ghostly mist. Mo Fan did not find any useful items inside, as if all the items had been shattered. It was filled with extremely powerful yin energy.
But he soon made a discovery. With a flick of his wrist, two azure crystals the size of fingernails floated out from the blood-stained cloth and came to Mo Fan.
"It really is a Soul Crystal!"
Mo Fan recognized the two crystals after just one glance.
"No wonder this ghost cultivator was able to travel so far. It turns out he also used the Soul Crystal to conceal his aura. It seems that those Great Saint Realm experts in the Soul Sea have long since mastered the weakness of the corpse worms."
Mo Fan had a sudden realization. He casually picked up the tattered blood-stained cloth, looked at the skeleton on the ground again, and shook his head, saying, "What a pity. Even if you were a giant in the Nine Netherworld in your previous life, you would still be killed by those blood beasts here!"
Without further reflection, he continued on his journey.
Next, Mo Fan discovered two more skeletons, one of which was even that of a ghost beast. However, its bones were scattered in all directions, making it difficult to discern what kind of ghost beast it originally was.
However, one thing is certain: these two skeletons, like the previous one, were at least cultivators at the Great Saint Realm. At the same time, Mo Fan also found a broken ghost-path magic weapon near each of their skeletons.
However, these two magical treasures were already broken beyond recognition, and there was no trace of power fluctuation left. This made it impossible for Mo Fan and Grandpa Qian to identify what level of treasures they were, and they also lost their value in being collected.
"If these three ghost cultivators are indeed powerful beings in the Soul Sea, then did they also discover something, which is why they broke into this place?" Mo Fan speculated.
"It's normal for them to discover something. After all, this is inside the Soul Sea. As the masters of the Soul Sea, they can easily discover things given enough time to explore."
After hearing what Grandpa Qian said, Mo Fan felt it made sense, so he stopped thinking about it and continued walking in the direction his right hand sensed.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Mo Fan was surprised to find that his blood seemed to be boiling.
He knew he was very close to that place!
Finally, when Mo Fan was excited and wanted to rush over as soon as possible, he was stopped by Grandpa Qian.
"Uncle Qian, what's wrong?" Mo Fan asked.
"I have already seen that place. It is an altar, and there is indeed something on it, but it is quite different from what I expected," said Grandpa Qian in a strange voice.
"What is that?" Mo Fan asked hurriedly, "Is it a supreme treasure from the Immortal Realm?"
"I originally thought it was some kind of treasure from the Immortal Realm, but it turned out to be just a heart..." Grandpa Qian said with a wry smile, "And what's even more troublesome is that there is a powerful blood beast guarding that altar."
Judging from its aura, it should be even more terrifying than the previous one!
"What!!"
Mo Fan was completely shocked upon hearing this, but before he could speak, Grandpa Qian exclaimed urgently, "Oh no! That guy has detected my senses! Retreat quickly!!"
"Where the hell am I supposed to go?!"
Mo Fan inwardly groaned.
