Chapter 513 - 295: Qi Daozhen’s Confidante, Supreme Methods
[Martial King First Layer (Perfection)]
[Human Emperor Bell (Entry Level)]
...
[Ordinary Power: 3.26 million years]
[Martial King’s Power: 900 years]
Sweeping through Demon Fiends day and night for three days, his Ordinary Power directly surpassed three million, reaching the highest since he obtained the panel, enough for future extravagances.
Human Emperor Bell, Jiaolong Sunset Bow, Tiger Soul Saber, Profound Yellow Tripod all needed enhancement, and he also needed to comprehend the Martial Saint Array.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Besides infusing power into the Divine Soldiers, Wei Fan was mostly focused on monitoring the Communication Token, worried about external Demon Kings seeking revenge.
However, this didn’t occur. According to Feng Hua, the main objective for those external Demon Kings is currently transforming themselves into Wilderness creatures, causing trouble wouldn’t be beneficial.
If chaos doesn’t arise, external Demon Kings might intervene. Now that everything’s calm, the main task for them is to quietly endure a period and imbue themselves with the distinctive aura of Wilderness creatures.
"Miss Feng Hua, I am ready!"
He sent a message to Feng Hua and relinquished his room, leaving this small town.
In three days, he enhanced everything possible, spending fifty thousand years of power on the Tiger Soul Saber, directly elevating it to a top-level Martial King Divine Soldier.
The Jiaolong Sunset Bow and Profound Yellow Tripod consumed more power, each spending roughly four hundred thousand years to elevate to top-level Martial King Divine Soldiers.
As for the Human Emperor Bell, he only enhanced it to Great Success due to insufficient power. He originally thought three million was plenty, but it turned out insufficient. Especially under the influence of Dao Collapse, both cultivation and weapon refinement became arduous.
Thunderous rumbling...
Shortly after leaving the small town, thunderous sounds echoed in his Primordial Spirit.
"Dao Collapse accelerated again!"
Wei Fan looked up at the sky. Across the infinite starry sky, Qi Daozhen’s Dao began to collapse in massive chunks, intimidating pressure enveloped the entire Wilderness. Under this colossal weight, he had to fully operate his Primordial Spirit to resist.
Half an hour later, everything returned to normal. Though a lingering pressure remained in his heart, it wasn’t as overwhelming as before.
Wei Fan rose from the ground, already well-acquainted with this feeling. Since he killed the Purple-eyed Demon King, this has become a daily occurrence. Sometimes it happened two to three times, at other times once, with sudden acceleration of the Dao Collapse.
Upon closer observation, Qi Daozhen’s vast and boundless Dao had diminished considerably since he first sensed it.
Calmly, this outcome means that achieving Martial King in the Wilderness is even more challenging than before. Training at the Martial King level becomes increasingly difficult.
Currently, it’s still feasible for Martial King Third Layer powerhouses to exist. But perhaps in the future, even they will be suppressed to Martial King Second Layer.
This is also his urgent reason for wanting to leave the Wilderness; he doesn’t need the post-collapse Dao’s feedback.
After another half hour, Feng Hua appeared.
She, too, was eager to leave the Wilderness. Having spent years here, she was already considered a Wilderness creature and wasn’t subjected to the Dao Collapse’s suppression like those newly arrived powerhouses.
The two ascended to the sky, flying in a direction led by Feng Hua.
"Doesn’t the Da Liang Kingdom look like a huge tomb?" Feng Hua looked at Wei Fan.
Wei Fan was taken aback, his eyes flashing: "Miss Feng Hua means the Da Liang Kingdom is indeed a massive tomb?"
Having traversed Da Liang several times, he noticed its outline resembled a vast tomb but never thought deeply about it, after all, who would build such a colossal tomb?
But Feng Hua bringing it up in this context meant something different.
Feng Hua nodded: "Almost certainly!"
Wei Fan took a deep breath. The scale of this tomb implies whoever is buried within must have been extraordinary, and whoever built it possessed monumental resources.
"I obtained a journal outside, stating Qi Daozhen originally had a lover, but due to insufficient talent, she couldn’t withstand the ravages of time and ultimately died in Qi Daozhen’s arms..."
Wei Fan’s face turned solemn: "Is the Da Liang Kingdom tomb built for Qi Daozhen’s lover?"
If built using Qi Daozhen’s Divine Abilities, it’s indeed possible to construct such a tomb.
Feng Hua shook her head: "I don’t know, but the journal mentions this place as Qi Daozhen’s lover’s final resting place."
"The place we’re heading, isn’t it really Qi Daozhen’s lover’s tomb?" Wei Fan took a breath.
Though confident, equipped with the panel, Qi Daozhen is an unparalleled figure, almost invincible in heaven and earth, cultivating the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations to the Seventh Transformation.
Even after ten thousand years of death, the Wilderness remains influenced by him. Observing the vast Dao in the infinite starry sky, it’s clear he was a tremendously formidable individual.
For someone like him, exploring the tomb of the beloved of Qi Daozhen is nothing short of suicidal, isn’t it?
If that’s truly the case, he’d rather find another way to leave the Wilderness than take such a risk.
"It shouldn’t be!" Feng Hua shook her head. "Daring to explore the tomb of Qi Daozhen’s beloved? I wouldn’t dare, and neither would you.
Moreover, if it truly were the tomb Qi Daozhen built for his beloved, how could it be so easily accessible? There are also entry conditions set.
It was only after entering the Wilderness, driven by curiosity and following the notes in that journal, that I found what resembles a grand tomb in Da Liang. After thorough investigation, I stumbled upon the ruins I mentioned."
Wei Fan sighed in relief, realizing it didn’t seem possible.
With Qi Daozhen’s capabilities, how could he allow his beloved to be disturbed after death? Da Liang might not even be a tomb; perhaps the terrain is just peculiar, and it’s still unknown if Qi Daozhen buried his beloved here.
The contents of the journal aren’t necessarily true. In this world, funerary customs don’t seem to favor larger tombs.
Flying alongside Feng Hua for a while, they arrived at a mountain area.
This was an utterly ordinary place, where Wei Fan couldn’t see anything special, not even traces of an array.
He had already comprehended the arrays left by a Martial Saint of the Guangling Sect. In the Wilderness, aside from newcomers like Feng Hua, his array mastery was unmatched. It would be impossible for him not to notice an array.
Curiously, he looked at Feng Hua: "Is it here?"
Feng Hua nodded and said, "Try to see if you can find that place!"
Intrigued, Wei Fan released his Heart Spirit to meticulously examine every inch of this area. However, after half an hour, his golden Primordial Spirit had scanned every inch of the land within several miles, even several hundred meters underground, without finding anything, as if this was just an ordinary mountain.
In the end, he even unleashed his power to smash the mountain, collapse the ground, and destroy all the surrounding flowers and trees, turning it into ruins, but still did not find the so-called ruins Feng Hua mentioned.
He looked at Feng Hua in confusion. Are there really ruins here?
It’s one thing not to find anything with his Heart Spirit, but with his power turning the place to rubble, he should have found something if there were truly ruins here.
Feng Hua smiled and said, "Don’t be anxious. It’s not so easy to discover. I only found this place’s peculiarity by accident. You’ll know tonight!"
She casually found a place to sit and pointed to the distance: "According to the journal, I found that place!"
Following her finger, Wei Fan saw it was just a normal valley, full of wildflowers and weeds.
Feng Hua said, "The journal records that it’s where Qi Daozhen and his beloved hid from the world in their youth. I found it, hoping for some benefit, and spent seven or eight days searching nearby before discovering the peculiarity here!"
She pointed at the ruin Wei Fan had created, smiling as if laughing at her own past naiveté.
Given that Qi Daozhen died ten thousand years ago, and few people can say how long he actually lived, the time they hid from the world would have been at least tens of thousands of years ago. His beloved’s old age and death caused his incident.
Even if Qi Daozhen’s beloved wasn’t talented, his means would have easily prolonged her life by thousands of years.
For such a long time, even a King’s Soldier would rust away into scrap iron. Her hopes of finding benefits here were absurd.
But that very action led her to unexpectedly discover the uniqueness of this valley.
Wei Fan also found a spot and sat down, waiting for nightfall with Feng Hua.
Time slipped by, and night quickly descended, the moonlight casting a silvery veil over the earth, with mountain insects chirping all around.
Feng Hua remained seated, unmoving, and Wei Fan was not impatient.
Time flew, and soon the moon was directly overhead.
"It’s here, watch closely!" Feng Hua suddenly exclaimed, staring at the ruins Wei Fan had created.
Wei Fan’s spirit jolted, and he focused intently ahead.
The next moment, he blinked, and the mountain he’d shattered reappeared, the fractured earth restored, and even the flowers and trees were resurrected.
"What kind of method is this?" Wei Fan gasped.
He hadn’t felt any power fluctuating, as if the previous ruin was just an illusion.
Even as he now used his Heart Spirit to sense the resurrected flowers and trees, they were as tangible as during daytime, not illusions, as if an unparalleled existence had reversed time to restore what he’d destroyed to its original state.
Feng Hua shook her head. "I don’t know either, but not even a Martial Saint powerhouse has such means. I discovered the problem here after destroying this place while practicing, only to find everything as it was the next day."
She appeared excited: "It’s said that in his youth, Qi Daozhen’s talent wasn’t top-notch, but upon acquiring the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations, he rose to prominence. There’s no record of how he obtained it.
I suspect he discovered this place by chance while in seclusion and obtained the Heart Method of the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations here.
Of course, this place might also be where he left an opportunity for future generations!"
The Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations, the unrivaled Cultivation Technique Qi Daozhen relied upon to roam the world, leading to a power comparable to a Divine Spirit; who wouldn’t be tempted?
