"Perhaps that guy wasn't able to explode under the power of gods and demons because of the perfect physical structure unique to ordinary humans," said Tooth Decay. "But what I've always been puzzled by is that I've actually tried it on ordinary humans too. They do have a higher tolerance for the power of gods and demons than other races, but they still explode..."
"Sigh! I can't figure it out." The tooth decay patient stopped talking, because the more he talked, the more confused he felt.
"Then how can you be sure that the methods used on me were done by him?" Gu Yu asked, looking at the increasingly messy cavities. There was a hint of helplessness in Gu Yu's eyes. This matter could have been left at that point, but this guy didn't seem to know why. He had even confused himself.
"Because no one but him could do this; it's too clumsy. And only he can't even count," said Tooth Decay.
"Huh?" Gu Yu was taken aback. This works? This is why the cavity tooth concluded that it was done by the second test subject? He felt it was a bit unreliable. Moreover, after hearing the cavity tooth's reasoning, he was even more convinced that it was done in a fake way. But if it was fake, then that guy might really not be dead. But since he obtained the secret of the Source Heart, what was the purpose of all this? Could it be that the secret of the Source Heart is not about breaking through the thirteen cones, but something else? What could it be?
Gu Yu suddenly felt his head buzzing, and his mind became even more confused.
"I have two questions for you. First, you said that the Origin Weapon is an Ancestral Artifact, so why do I need to use contribution points when I use it? Second, if I use contribution points to exchange for Origin Qi, will the Origin Qi in that space be depleted?" Gu Yu asked the tooth-toothed man. He was too confused, there were too many mysteries at the moment, so he could only ask some questions that were relevant to his current situation. The most important thing was that the questions were too core, and the tooth-toothed man didn't know either. Moreover, the more the guy explained, the more confusing it became.
"Yes! It's the same principle. That guy used the Ten Ancestral Stones and the Origin Fragment to create this thing. The Ten Ancestral Stones are now practically one with you; they recognize you as their master, but they're not under your control. Well, not exactly. It's like an object that has a master, but when you give it commands, it doesn't receive them directly. There's a messenger in between, and that's the Origin Fragment. And to drive it, you need energy, which is Origin Qi. The Origin Fragment receives your commands and then, through the method you exchange contribution points for, gives the Ten Ancestral Stones energy. However, because of the suppression of your cultivation level, the Ten Ancestral Stones are also suppressed. So, each of them only has half your basic combat power. As for whether the Origin Qi in that space will run out, let me put it this way: no energy is inexhaustible. But don't be pessimistic; that energy should be enough for you for a long time," Tooth Decay explained.
"I see." Hearing the tooth decay's explanation, Gu Yu looked enlightened. "Then how can I use the Ten Ancestral Stones without going through the Source Heart?"
The Ten Sons Ancestral Stone is an ancestral artifact, surpassing even divine artifacts. A divine artifact is already incredibly powerful, so imagine the power of an ancestral artifact. If Gu Yu could use the Ten Sons Ancestral Stone, with ten peak Great Emperors, he wouldn't be afraid even if an Ancestral Realm expert made a move.
“When your cultivation level is higher, you’ll be able to do it naturally. Besides, with your current cultivation level, you can’t control an ancestral artifact at all,” said Tooth Decay.
"Oh!" Gu Yu nodded when he heard what the tooth decayer said.
That's right, just like He Wen. Although he has the Nine Nether Soul-Seizing Spear, he can't unleash its power at all.
This is like giving a young child a 100-pound sledgehammer—could he lift it? Let alone use it to hit someone.
"A cavity! I..."
"What did you call me?" Upon hearing Gu Yu's address, Tooth Decay's eyes widened immediately.
"Oh, I wanted to ask you something. It seems like there's something wrong with my cultivation right now," Gu Yu said immediately.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Tooth Decay asked Gu Yu.
"When I was condensing my primordial spirit, it seemed like there was already a divine demonic primordial spirit within me, which prevented me from condensing it. Later, I found a method to directly condense my essence, energy, and spirit into the divine demonic primordial spirit. Then I had a Condensation Cone, but my Source Cone and primordial spirit were different from others; they were separate. Later, during a battle with a powerful expert, my divine demonic primordial spirit seemed to self-destruct. Since then, I have been unable to summon my divine demonic primordial spirit, but I seem to feel that my divine demonic primordial spirit has always been there." Gu Yu explained the problem he had been facing in his cultivation, which made Tooth Decay frown.
"Gods and demons cannot cultivate; they have neither source cones nor primordial spirits. Yet you not only cultivate the power of gods and demons, but you have even cultivated the source cone and condensed a divine and demonic primordial spirit. Hmm! It seems you have been quite successful! It's just a pity that I cannot know your method," said Tooth Decay with some disappointment.
"Then do you know what happened to me? Where is my primordial spirit?" Gu Yu asked, looking at the cavity. As for whether gods and demons could cultivate, that was not important to Gu Yu. What was most important now was that he wanted to know where his primordial spirit had gone.
“Your primordial spirit did indeed self-destruct, but it did not leave you after self-destruction. Instead, it merged into your body. Now your body is your primordial spirit, and your primordial spirit is your body. This is a good thing for you!” Tooth Decay said to Gu Yu. “The most important thing in cultivation is to strengthen oneself. Although the method of cultivating the primordial spirit can temporarily lead to a breakthrough, it will become more and more troublesome as time goes on.”
Because reaching the Ancestral Realm, from the early stage to the peak, is a process of unification, requiring the primordial spirit and source cone to be returned to the physical body. Think about it, if someone doesn't have a primordial spirit but has only condensed one, wouldn't they achieve unification faster than someone who has condensed a primordial spirit?
"Hmm?" Gu Yu seemed to recognize what the cavity tooth said. Long Yuan seemed to have told him before that Buddha once said that merging the primordial spirit and the source cone into one might be a realm above the Ancestral Realm. But according to the cavity tooth, that was only the peak of the Ancestral Realm.
"What's wrong?" Cavity asked, noticing Gu Yu's sudden frown and puzzled expression.
"It's nothing. I heard someone say that after the primordial spirit, the source cone, and the physical body merge to a certain level, they eventually become a unified whole, which could be the existence of the thirteen cones," Gu Yu explained.
"Heh, wishful thinking. Did some bald monk tell you that?" Tooth decay looked at Gu Yu and asked.
"Bald monk?" Gu Yu was taken aback. Bald monk, Buddha. The bald monk mentioned by the tooth decayer should be Buddha. Apart from Buddha, there should be no other ancestral realm being bald.
"Hmm! This saying only came from him, but he only became a member of the Ancestral Realm by stealing something that didn't belong to him. He's only at the early stage of the Ancestral Realm. It's funny, really. If he hadn't stolen his Ancestral Realm and had cultivated it himself, he might already be at the peak of the Ancestral Realm. Of course, that's just speculation," Tooth Decay said. "After all, he doesn't cultivate his Primordial Spirit or the Source Cone. He's already achieved oneness with it. That's why I said your Primordial Spirit is now one with you, which is beneficial to you. Achieving oneness is extremely difficult! It's like when you break through to the Emperor Realm and want to reach the God Realm, the initial abundance of blood apertures isn't enough, so you have to continue filling them."
"Then wouldn't I not only be fine, but also have great benefits?" Gu Yu said with some delight after hearing what the tooth decayer said.
“That’s right, but I don’t know how far you’ll end up. Maybe if Gan hadn’t died, he would have been thinking the same thing.” Tooth Decay said, looking Gu Yu up and down. Logically speaking, Gu Yu only needed to cultivate the power of gods and demons, but this guy was cultivating the source at the same time.
"As long as my cultivation goes smoothly, that's fine," Gu Yu said.
"Don't you have any other questions? You can ask, maybe I know the answer." Tooth Decay said, looking at Gu Yu who wasn't planning to ask him any more questions.
"There are no other problems for now," Gu Yu said after thinking for a moment. The mystery of his rebirth has been solved, and he has a general idea of the mastermind behind it all. Although he doesn't know whether the divine and demonic bloodline in his body is from Gan or Huang, it is definitely from one of these two. He has also learned a bit about the origin of Yuan Xin. Wait, there is one more key point.
"Why did the great battle between the two gods and demons of Qian and Kun take place in the Dragon Realm?" Gu Yu asked this question not for himself, but on behalf of Long Yuan.
"Good question." Hearing Gu Yu ask him another question, Tooth Decay's eyes lit up, but after a moment's thought, he quickly replied, "I don't know, maybe it's because the dragon race is unlucky!"
"Uh!" Gu Yu was taken aback. This answer was truly unexpected. Because the Dragon Clan was unlucky, it became a battlefield? "Isn't it because the Source Heart is with the Dragon Clan?"
"Yuan Xin is with the Dragon Clan?" Now it was the Tooth Decayer's turn to be surprised. "That's not right! Yuan Xin has always been in the hands of the Dragon Clan! How could she be with them?"
"Huh!" Gu Yu was stunned again. Judging from the toothache, he didn't seem to be lying. But if Yuan Xin was in Gan's hands, how could it have ended up in the hands of the Heavenly Emperor? Did the Heavenly Emperor snatch it from Gan? That was a joke. Could someone who could cripple Kun, Hong, and Huang, who were all demigods and demons, be dealt with by a mere Heavenly Emperor? There must be some secret behind this.
Judging from the appearance of the cavities, Gu Yu knew there was no need to ask any further questions; this guy was clearly unaware of the situation.
"By the way, do you know if anyone else came in later?" Gu Yu thought of the person who took away Long Yuan, so he asked the tooth-toothed man. This guy had been here all along, and his strength was comparable to that of an Ancestral Realm cultivator. In addition, with the power of gods and demons, he must know who had come.
“This…” Tooth decay’s eyes moved, as if recalling something. “I remember it was a long time ago, and there really was someone who came here.”
"Who?" Gu Yu asked immediately upon hearing the cavity's answer. The person who came in must be the one who took Long Yuan away.
“Little Blackie,” the cavity replied.
"Little Blackie?" Gu Yu frowned. "Who is Little Blackie?"
“He’s also an Ancestral Realm cultivator, one of the Twelve Ancestors. This guy is incredibly arrogant; others seem to call him the Demon Ancestor,” said Tooth Decay.
"The Demon Ancestor?" Gu Yu was startled upon hearing these two words. He remembered the Enchantress of the Dragon Clan, who had been searching for the Demon Ancestor's whereabouts. She had said the Demon Ancestor had disappeared a long time ago, and the last place he disappeared was the Dragon Palace Tower. Could it be...?
"Did he take anything with him?" Gu Yu asked, looking at the cavity.
“Oh dear! When he came here, he asked me a whole bunch of questions. He said someone told him that Gan and Kun were both dead. But Kun is clearly still alive. I told him to leave, but he wouldn’t listen and insisted on going deeper into the area,” said Tooth Decay.
"And then what happened?"
“And then he never came back. He’s probably dead in the depths!” Tooth Decay said.
"Dead?" Gu Yu asked incredulously.
"The divine and demonic power at the deepest part belongs to Kun and Hong. Even an Ancestral Realm cultivator would find it difficult to survive if they entered. After all, those two gods and demons have been constantly restraining each other, and the divine and demonic power they release is extremely powerful, enough to suppress an Ancestral Realm cultivator, especially since they became Ancestral Realm cultivators by stealing something they shouldn't have," Tooth Decay replied.
"The Demon Ancestor is dead." Gu Yu frowned. If the one who took away the Dragon Source wasn't the Demon Ancestor, could it be Gan? Thinking of this, Gu Yu's gaze fell on the tooth decayer again.
"Is it possible that someone came by and you just didn't notice?"
"Impossible. Unless a god or demon has been here, there's no way I wouldn't have found anything." Tooth Decay shook his head upon hearing Gu Yu's words, but then he seemed to realize something, "Unless it was that guy?"
"That guy?" Gu Yu asked.
“That experimental subject number two,” said Tooth Decay.
"It's him again?" Gu Yu frowned.
“Only he can do it; no one else can,” said Tooth Decay.
"Do you know where he is?" Gu Yu asked. If they could find Experiment Subject Two, they might be able to solve many of the mysteries.
"Hmm! That guy, it's hard to say! Who knows where he's gone?" Tooth Decay thought for a moment, then shook his head and said.
"Alright!" Gu Yu looked a little disappointed when he heard the answer from the tooth decayer. Some of his big questions were still unanswered, but he had learned more.
"Would you like to go deeper inside and take a look at those two gods and demons?" Tooth Decay suddenly asked at this moment.
"Deep inside?" Gu Yu frowned. Even the Demon Ancestor died if he went in, let alone him. "I'm not going."
“Go take a look! Maybe seeing real gods and demons will help your bloodline awakening? You’ve only awakened three times, and you can’t even control the Black Blade. Maybe after you go in, you’ll resonate with and be suppressed, and you might awaken for the fourth time,” said Tooth Decay.
"Uh!" Gu Yu was taken aback. To be honest, he was somewhat tempted. If his divine and demonic bloodline awakened for the fourth time, what level would his strength reach? Peak King Realm, or Emperor Realm?
"Let's go take a look!" said Tooth decayer, seeing that Gu Yu seemed interested.
"They won't wake up all at once, will they?" Gu Yu asked, looking at the cavity.
"Impossible! If they were capable of waking up, they would have woken up long ago. Why would they wait until now?" Tooth Decay said confidently. "Do you think I'm just for show? Go ahead!"
"Okay, if I encounter any danger, you must rescue me in time, okay?" Gu Yu said, looking at the cavity.
"How about this? I'll have Old Black follow you." Tooth Decay suddenly thought for a moment, then handed the black knife in his hand to Gu Yu.
But Gu Yu looked at the black knife and didn't dare to pick it up. He already knew how heavy it was. Holding it, he would have trouble even taking two steps, let alone going inside.
"Oh!" Seeing that Gu Yu hesitated to take the black knife, Tooth decay paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something. "I forgot, you can't lift this black knife, but it's okay."
As he spoke, Tooth Decay suddenly waved his hand, and Gu Yu immediately felt a suction force pulling him towards him. Then Tooth Decay held a black knife in his hand and said, "Old Black! Be good! If you didn't acknowledge this kid, you wouldn't have been pulled up by him. Now that you've been pulled up, you have to acknowledge him. I know you're reluctant to part with me, and I'm reluctant to part with you, but this is your mission!"
Buzz...
Upon hearing what the tooth decayer said, the black knife suddenly trembled a few times before returning to its lifeless state. The tooth decayer then handed the black knife directly to Gu Yu, saying, "Alright, you can lift it now, but whether you want to use it, well, that's up to you."
The black knife felt much lighter in Gu Yu's hand, and he could lift it easily.
Judging from the tooth decay, this black knife must be very powerful. Gu Yu then swung the black knife, and divine and demonic power immediately gathered towards the black knife. However, the next second, the divine and demonic power he gathered towards the black knife was immediately reflected back.
"Huh?" Gu Yu was taken aback after sensing it. "What's going on?"
"Sigh!" Tooth decay looked at Gu Yu and sighed, "It only acknowledges you, but it doesn't acknowledge you using it. Be content! Back then, when Little Blackie came here, he ignored my advice and insisted on pulling it out. In the end, he tried to pull it out for three years but couldn't. He could only leave dejectedly."
"Even the Demon Ancestor couldn't pull it out?" Gu Yu was taken aback. The Demon Ancestor was an Ancestral Realm expert.
“That’s right, it just makes its body sway a few times,” said Tooth Decay.
"What level of weapon is it?" Gu Yu asked, looking at the black knife in his hand, which was lifeless, covered in rust, and had no resemblance to a divine weapon.
"Hehe..." Hearing Gu Yu's question, Tooth Decay chuckled, "He's a weapon, what level are you talking about?"
"An Ancestral Artifact?" Gu Yu exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the black blade in his hand. It was another Ancestral Artifact. Besides the Ten Sons Ancestral Stone, he had actually obtained another Ancestral Artifact.
“That’s right, and it’s the most powerful ancestral artifact at that,” said Tooth Decay.
"The most powerful ancestral artifact." Gu Yu looked at the knife in his hand and was even more delighted, but then he was disappointed. Unfortunately, he was too weak to control the ancestral artifact.
If he could control this black blade and the Ten Ancestral Stones, he wouldn't be afraid even if the Heavenly Court's Origin Gate opened; he could sweep them all away.
"Go." With another wave of his decayed hand, a passage suddenly opened in front of him.
"Are you sure there's no danger?" Gu Yu asked again, looking at the cavity.
“With Lao Hei here, you don’t need to worry about Kun and Huang’s divine and demonic power and pressure taking your life. Go! Be brave. What can two sleeping gods and demons do to you? If you awaken for the fourth time, that would be something you’d be more than happy to do,” said Tooth Decay.
