Devour

Cheng Bai couldn't help but think of the headless corpse king of Canxing Country. Could it be that he was an undead?

Check out the content of the mural, which is rich in pictures and texts. When the four major races discovered the Qiongqi Continent, there were eight ancient gods between the sea and the land. They had different shapes and represented the strongest life in the local area.

Yun Juan looked at the mural and interpreted, "This is an ancient legend. The eight ancient gods stood at the pinnacle of life on the continent at that time, controlling the primitive power of land, sea and air. They are a fierce beast, a divine beast, a tree, a bird, a bug, a shell, a flame stone, and a skeleton."

Cheng Bai questioned: "There is no faceless man?"

Yun Juan pointed at a few murals and said, "The Faceless People are from outside and are not among the Eight Ancient Gods. Their supreme leader, the Faceless Lord, is extremely powerful. He can defeat many enemies alone and is not weaker than the Eight Ancient Gods."

Cheng Bai looked at the murals carefully. They were records of the faceless men coming to the continent, fighting with the eight ancient gods, leaving corpses everywhere, and occupying a lot of territory.

More murals that are famous throughout the ages are about the great historical achievements of the emperor instructing the human army to control the world, drive out the faceless men, and subdue the eight ancient gods.

Seeing this, Cheng Bai was surprised and asked, "There's only one person from the Pangu tribe?"

The Pangu tribe in the murals have a unified image of coming and going. Although they are sometimes big and sometimes small, they are always tall and majestic, swallowing up mountains and rivers, and invincible. It seems that there is nothing they cannot do and any difficulties can be easily solved. The heavens worship them and all tribes submit to them.

Yun Juan's eyes were full of yearning, and she said, "That was the young emperor, who led the four major races to bring all the other races under his command, and dominated the starry sea. The emperor was unfathomable, and he spared the lives of the ancient gods just to let them benefit the human race."

Cheng Bai continued to look forward. The murals recorded that under the leadership of the Great Emperor, the human race incorporated the divine beasts, cut down the evil trees, expanded the territory, and sealed the remaining ancient gods and faceless masters in various places.

The emperor left a few people to manage the continent, and arranged it into seven hunting palaces: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang. For tens of thousands of years, there has been good weather and good harvests, and humans and demons have lived in harmony.

It was not until fifteen thousand years ago that the seal of the ancient gods loosened, and many essences escaped, giving rise to a group of powerful sons of the ancient gods. They ran rampant, causing great suffering to all living beings, and turning everything into wasteland wherever they went.

The Cloud Sky Palace was destroyed by an endless tide of beasts, and almost all the strong men of the Undead and Xuanyuan tribes were killed or wounded. With the help of the neutral ancient gods, the remaining masters of the Gentlemen tribe led the survivors to retreat to the northern continent, using seven palaces as their bases, and multiplied and developed seven major temples, three major sects, and the Hunter's Guild.

The Yunqiong Palace is actually the birthplace of the human race on the Qiongqi Continent.

The murals record many heroic deeds that are worthy of praise. Shi Qi, the descendant of Yuheng Palace, led people to overcome difficulties. Ji Huaibing, the last strong man of Xuanyuan clan, established the Hunter Guild and Academy. Gu Canxing, the last strong man of Undead clan, refined the Changsheng Iron and other materials left by the Emperor into the Tianhuang Sword. Xing Chun, the descendant of Yaoguang Palace, suppressed the Ancient God Son. The seven first-generation hall masters signed agreements with various demon clans, etc. The descriptions in the murals are all vivid.

Yun Juan praised: "These are great achievements that will go down in history and deserve to be recorded in history."

Cheng Bai looked at it carefully and said in surprise: "It's not just the historical records, there's more behind it."

The more I looked at the remaining murals, the more shocked I became.

This part of the description is more like a prophecy. The divine fire was extinguished and broke into ten pieces. One of them descended on the Qiongqi Continent, causing the covetousness of foreign races and bringing subsequent disasters and catastrophes. The ancient god's son reappeared, and the ancient god was resurrected to cause trouble in all directions. Foreign races invaded, wars continued, and all life was destroyed one after another.

Cheng Bai was not sure what the divine fire referred to, and thought to himself, "Are you talking about some kind of divine fire source?"

The following paintings are somewhat incomplete, with few words and unclear descriptions. Especially the last mural stops abruptly, as if it was unfinished. It roughly depicts that only nine people escaped, and Qiongqi Star was destroyed and disappeared without a trace for unknown reasons.

Ningxiang suddenly said, "No, what is recorded here is not history. From today's perspective, only the latter part is a prophecy. In fact, most of these murals are prophecies, and they have been fulfilled one by one."

Cheng Bai understood, and noticed that the mural acknowledged that the location of the continent was called Qiongqi Star, a planet with a complete astronomical concept.

Yunjuan cares about more important things.

Her hands and feet were cold, and she said tremblingly, "Impossible, everyone is dead, everything is gone, what is the meaning of our existence?"

Ningxiang seemed to be lost and a little absent-minded. She forced a smile and said, "We can control the future ourselves. It may not happen. We can't trust it."

Yun Juan was stunned for a moment and said, "The person who carved the murals was the emperor who built the Yunqiong Palace. He calculated everything that would happen within 15,000 years after his death. A lot of things have already come true. The future cannot be avoided and can only be faced."

Cheng Bai went back to the first mural to check it out. There was an ancient text that said, "The Great Emperor Yunmen built the Yunqiong Palace. He recorded the major events over the years and tried his best to predict the future. His destiny has run out, and it is difficult to determine the changes. Future generations should not argue about it."

The prophecy is indeed true. Cheng Bai's spiritual eye secret technique has a certain predictive ability and can judge the results in a few seconds.

The emperor's power is unfathomable. He moved thirty-three islands to hang in the air and calculated the future for fifteen thousand years after his death. He is a truly powerful and omnipotent person.

Yun Juan laughed bitterly and said, "We shouldn't have come here. If we watch this, our Dao hearts will be ruined. How can we face the future?"

Cheng Baidao was determined and shook his head, saying, "I think the Great Emperor's prophecy only lasts until the divine fire is extinguished. The latter few paintings were forged by someone. Both the painting and the writing style are very different from the other murals."

Yunjuan and Ningxiang went to the murals again to compare and take a closer look. They found that there were indeed some differences. The last few paintings were obviously much rougher. Not only were the words sparse, but the brushwork was also clumsy, which was very different from the clear and vigorous ones before.

"Now that I've said that, I feel much better. It almost ruined my Dao heart. This person is despicable and shameless. Who is he? How dare he pretend to be the emperor?"

Yun Juan was indignant. If her Tao heart was in chaos, it would be difficult for her to make any progress in her cultivation in the future. Fortunately, she was able to recover in time.

Ningxiang comforted her: "It's good that it's not true. Forget about such a tragic ending."

Cheng Bai was actually unsure, and said those words only to appease Yun Juan, stabilize her heart, and leave a glimmer of hope. Some styles are different, but it's just because of the many years that have passed, the many experiences, the changes in mood, and the different attitudes.

Besides, it was a bit strange that there was no mention of him in the prophecy. Could it be that after traveling here, he was not impressive enough to leave a mural?

The three searched carefully in the palace ruins and found an abandoned alchemy room. They opened the long-closed door and discovered strange things.

The alchemy room was sealed very well, but all the bottles and jars inside were weathered and broken, making it difficult to see their original appearance. There was only a large group of objects floating in the air. They were dark golden in color, strange in shape, odorless, and as thick as meat.

Seeing this, Cheng Bai was secretly delighted and put the meat monster into his treasure bag.

Yun Juan searched everywhere but found nothing valuable. All the medicine containers were incomplete and empty. She asked curiously, "What did you take? You're so nervous, as if you were afraid someone would snatch it away."

"This is the Flying Tai Sui, a rare holy product for alchemy." Cheng Baimei was overjoyed and couldn't help himself. Good things come to those who are slow.

According to the "Secret Book of Medicine Collection", Feitian Taisui, also known as Feitian Rouzhi, is a rare spiritual creature with different appearances. It can float in the air for a thousand days without moving. It is obvious that it has absorbed the elixir of the alchemy room and has grown over ten thousand years. Ordinary people who take a bite will feel light and healthy, prolong their lifespan, and warriors who take it will greatly increase their power.

The key is that Feitian Tai Sui is the main ingredient of the Wuxia Nirvana Pill and is also one of the most difficult materials to find. With it, you can slowly search for other medicinal materials and the impossible will become possible.

The two girls had never heard of this treasure.

Yun Juan snorted and said, "Everyone who sees it gets a share. Make the elixir and give us a share."

"Of course." Cheng Bai laughed and agreed readily.

There was nothing else good, so the three of them left the palace ruins, jumped down the Cloud Island layer by layer, reached the Panqiu Mountains, and returned to the Three Sages Valley with the two giant wolves.

The diamond ore mined in Chengbai is mostly used for cutting, grinding, and inlaying into precious jewelry in the secular world, and is very valuable. Diamond itself is a first-level gemstone with a hardness of 1. It is the most commonly used refining material in the Weapon Sect.

Following Fang Wanzhan's instructions, it took several days to make various diamond tools, drill bits, and grinding wheels. These are the basic tools used to process most objects.

Not only that, the principle of refining various grades of carbon materials is to rearrange the diamond structure to form a tighter and stronger chain, which is progressive and unbreakable. Therefore, starting with diamond is a shortcut to studying the basics of refining.

Cheng Bai studied hard, and read "The Secret Book of Medicine" and "The Essence of the Eight Immortals' Journey" in his spare time, and gained a lot of insights.

Not many crystal cores have been obtained recently, so Cheng Bai swallowed the crystal core of the Snake King and left the crystal core of the Corpse King.

The shape of this crystal core is different from those obtained from previous monsters. Not only is it larger, but its spherical multi-faceted shape seems to be slowly changing around the rune as the center. Every time I take it out and visualize it, I seem to have some understanding of the profound runes.

While waiting to ask Fang Wanzhan a question alone, Cheng Bai asked casually, "Master, do you know that the stars are disappearing one after another?"

Instead of looking for Dean Si Bao and Ceng Gelong to ask about this matter, it is better to ask your own master directly.

"Did you notice it?" Fang Wanzhan put down the refining tools in his hand, looking surprised.

If this happened on Earth, it would have become big news a long time ago. But only a few people on Qiongqi Continent would know about it, right?

Cheng Bai asked curiously, "What's the mystery behind this?"

"The Yunjie Yingmen Star Region has fallen, and the Shuidong Star Region has also suffered heavy losses. The remnants of the Great Emperor have fought hard to hold out for ten thousand years. Most people on the continent don't know about the war that happened so far away. Ignorance is bliss, and at least the world won't be in chaos."

Fang Wanzhan's answer made Cheng Bai's heart beat wildly. Qiongqi Continent was indeed just a drop in the ocean. He hurriedly asked, "Cloud Realm Bird Gate? Water Cave? What is that?"

"Qiongqi Continent is located in a remote star field. The Cloud Realm Star Sea is divided into thirty-six gates and seventy-two caves. The two major star fields of Yingmen and Shuidong are two of them. Legend has it that the emperor was born in the Cloud Gate Star Field, so he is called the Cloud Gate Emperor, and the star sea is therefore renamed the Cloud Realm."

Cheng Bai was quite interested in the answer and asked, "Who is the enemy?"

Unfortunately, Fang Wanzhan knew very little: "Qiongqi Continent is a remote and poor place with little information and low strength, and is not strong enough to participate in the war. Even the death of the great emperor 15,000 years ago was not known until more than ten years ago. The battle situation in the Cloud Realm and the state of the enemy are unknown. Only a few people know that the invading enemy is unfathomable, and the stars are extinguished one by one."

The entire star field gradually disappeared. How brutal was the battle?

Cheng Bai savored every word carefully, recalling the murals in the Cloud Sky Palace, and comparing them in his mind. Was it the fall of the Great Emperor that caused the seal of the ancient god to loosen?

Fang Wanzhan warned: "You learn very quickly, and your aptitude is higher than I expected. If you have the opportunity to obtain the innate divine fire source and refine yourself, you can greatly improve the speed and effect of refining equipment, and your cultivation will be further improved."

Cheng Bai asked, "Where can I find the source of the divine fire?"

Fang Wanzhan was silent for a moment before he said, "The source of divine fire is a spiritual object of heaven and earth. There are many kinds of it hidden in the world, all of which have great power and are hard to come by. Most people know that the Weapon Sect has inherited the Lava Crystal Fire, and the Medicine Sect has the Thousand-leaf Lotus Fire, but they are not that powerful. It is said that there are also the Dark Destruction Ghost Fire, the Brilliant Spirit Fire, and the Fire of Truth in the Qiongqi Continent, each more powerful than the other, and I wonder where they are kept."

Cheng Bai didn't expect that there was something Fang Wanzhan didn't know, so he could only say, "Disciple, I will teach you."

Time passed slowly, and on this day the Phantom Dragon Fire Fang Spear was completed. The moment it came out of the furnace, it shone brightly into the sky, the wind and clouds changed color, reflecting the red clouds, and the scene was extraordinary.

Fang Wanzhan was quite pleased with himself: "In addition to the Tianhuang Sword, Overlord Spear and other treasures, there are rare and unusual phenomena when magic weapons appear in the world. Today, there is another top-grade magic weapon."

Chi Zhongming presented the treasure to Shen Ya: "Mr. Shen, the Magic Dragon Fire Fang Spear is one of the most proud treasures that Master has made. Treasure it."

Shen Ya slowly picked up the 300-jin spear, feeling the power in it, his fighting spirit soared, his momentum rose, and he became the galloping Dragon Spear King again.

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner stepped forward. He had been investigating the Three Sages Valley for the past few days but still had not been able to find the whereabouts of the Heavenly Desolate Sword. He was so impatient that he could not help but ask, "How does this spear compare to the Overlord Spear?"

Chi Zhongming said thoughtfully, "The Phantom Dragon Fire Fang Spear is made of Burning Star Gold. The material grade is slightly inferior to Black Gold, but it is inlaid with two Nine-Tailed Fox King Crystal Cores, plus the master's superb weapon refining skills, it is no less powerful than the Overlord Spear."

"Two?" Everyone was surprised when they heard this.

Shen Ya said frankly: "The two monsters are a king and a queen. By chance, I got them one after another."

The Yellow Jade Banner Master's eyes flickered, and he waved the Ghost King Fan in his hand, saying with a smile, "I will definitely ask for advice when I have time."

"It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Brother Qi, please tell me a place." Shen Ya gladly accepted the challenge.

"Outside the valley, there is a wide terrain on the hillside of the lush green forest, which is perfect for a test of strength." The leader of the Huangyu Banner agreed to fight at the place where Qi Jifen died.

"Please." Shen Ya strode forward.

The topaz flag master showed a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth: "Overlord Body, long time no see."

Talent and aptitude are the real treasures that he cannot let go of. If he can obtain the Overlord Body, he will be able to take a big step forward.

The two men left, no one followed them. The masters were competing in private, and without an invitation, it was not convenient for others to watch.

Cheng Bai could see and hear clearly from a distance. He hurriedly avoided the crowd and teleported to the Water Curtain Cave in front of the lush forest to watch the battle from behind the waterfall.
