"Okay, I understand!"
After a moment's thought, Feng Bingwen made his decision. He looked at Yi Canglan before him, and also at the many prodigies who had been alarmed by this matter and had begun to take it to heart.
"Since things have come to this, there's no point in saying more. We'll pretend that this fellow Daoist from Tianyan Dao doesn't exist. We know nothing about this matter, so there's no need to say anything more or spread it further."
"Brother Feng!"
Yi Canglan was somewhat astonished when he heard Feng Bingwen make the decision with his own ears, and he exclaimed.
"I know you want to find him, but let me ask you, how do you go to find him?"
Feng Bingwen remained calm. The cultivators of Tianyandao were renowned for their shrewdness and divination. The Dao Child level geniuses were undoubtedly the most outstanding among the younger generation of Tianyandao. Other sects were not like Taishangdao.
In other words, the guy who went missing is the number one charlatan of the younger generation, and this applies even to humans. How do you find someone like that who sneaks away?
Most importantly, this guy's actions may have been tacitly approved by the protectors who were with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to escape even if he wanted to. With an immortal who was proficient in divination involved, they wouldn't have been able to find him even if they wanted to.
"this……"
When Feng Bingwen asked this question, Yi Canglan was speechless, and many of the human prodigies who were paying attention also shook their heads.
Before the rise of the Heavenly Evolution Path, when its mountain gates were sealed, ordinary cultivators, apart from so-called destined individuals and powerful beings with a certain level of strength, did not even know which way the gates of the Heavenly Evolution Path faced.
If a cultivator who is skilled in divination and fortune-telling intends to hide and doesn't want to be searched for, then they are basically impossible to find.
"That's fine!"
Feng Bingwen also knew that this Sunset God was on good terms with Tianyan Daozi. Tianyan Daozi left without saying goodbye and disappeared, which made him feel a little uneasy and depressed.
"Prepare for battle with peace of mind. If you are injured, take good care of yourself. Soon, the truly ferocious demon kings among the demon race will appear."
When the Supreme Daoist spoke, the many human prodigies could only respond. In the great battle just now, he had shown a near-invincible style, which impressed many people.
Because there were human prodigies who were defeated in the battle against the demon kings, but those demon kings who won were quickly suppressed by Feng Bingwen and brutally defeated.
“Feng Daozi is absolutely right.”
"Let's drop this matter, fellow Daoists, and not mention it again!"
A chorus of agreement arose, and Yi Canglan sighed, having no choice but to abandon the idea of seeking out his friend. He knew that such a thought was inappropriate at this time.
However, the subsequent actions of the demon race proved Feng Bingwen's prediction wrong. The King of the Golden Crow Kingdom informed Feng Bingwen that the demon race had a powerful demon king who was about to arrive, but they would not be able to reach him in a short time because they needed to cross continents to come.
Therefore, for a certain period of time, many of the human prodigies were in a state of idleness. Although the Golden Crow clan was very capable and allocated a mountain range full of spiritual energy to settle them, how many of them were truly obedient and content to stand out among their peers?
With the moon high in the sky and stars hanging high above, Feng Bingwen sat peacefully in a palace, absorbing the essence of the moon. The terrain here had been altered by a powerful demon, and all things and spirits bathed in the moonlight were easily born with spirituality, transforming into monsters and demons. It was perfectly acceptable for Feng Bingwen to use this to cultivate.
"Brother Yi, have you come looking for me? Is there something you need?"
Boundless moonlight essence descended from the dome, gathering behind Feng Bingwen and transforming into a bright, dazzling, and sacred moon.
"Brother Feng's intuition is indeed sharp!"
A young man strode into the palace where Feng Bingwen was temporarily residing. This was a residence that Feng Bingwen had built himself, or more accurately, that was built by his five companion spirits.
"There is another fellow Daoist, why don't you show yourself? Why are you hiding like this? Are you planning something wicked?"
Feng Bingwen sat cross-legged in the divine wheel formed by the convergence of the moon's radiance, without even opening his eyes, like a deity.
"Feng Daozi is joking. Even if I advance to another realm, I wouldn't dare to attack you!"
Beside Yi Canglan, a young Taoist priest of unremarkable appearance, dressed in plain clothes, appeared. He bowed to Feng Bingwen, who was still meditating, with a very respectful attitude and humble demeanor.
"Tianyan Daozi!"
Feng Bingwen opened his eyes. His body was filled with the power of the moon's radiance, and his eyes were now completely silvery-white. The moment he opened his eyes, two divine rainbows shot out.
However, Feng Bingwen quickly calmed down the many strange phenomena. The moon wheel shattered, and the tangible moonlight power within it was completely absorbed by Feng Bingwen. He then transformed it one by one by circulating the Innate Ancient Scripture, turning it into a part of his own cultivation accumulation.
"It is I."
"Brother Dao, what did you gain from your trip?"
Feng Bingwen's expression remained calm and composed, his tone as even as water. He showed no emotion because the Supreme Daoist had gone out without permission, because, strictly speaking, he had no authority over any of the human prodigies.
"I am ashamed to say that although I have found a few wonderful places, I have neglected my cultivation in the past, and my magic power and supernatural abilities are insufficient, so I have gained very little."
The young man, who was so engrossed in the story that even if it were thrown on the street, it would be hard to find and would be easily overlooked, responded with a cupped hand.
"Fellow Daoist, you jest!"
Hearing these humble words, Feng Bingwen didn't believe a word of them. Don't talk nonsense! If these charlatans couldn't fight, would they dare to swagger around with their sect?
"Brother Feng, Brother Wu came to see you because he wants to..."
Seeing Feng Bingwen's indifferent expression, Yi Canglan hesitated for a moment before speaking. However, he had only uttered half a sentence when the young man beside him grabbed his sleeve.
"Brother Dao, let's not beat around the bush. I won't waste your time or delay your cultivation. I've shamelessly come here under the guise of Brother Yi's name because I really want to ask for your help. I hope to borrow your strength."
Wu Yong, the Daoist Master of Heavenly Origin, spoke up.
"Um!"
Feng Bingwen still didn't react much. Without needing to be explicitly stated, what he just expressed was already very clear: he had found some good spots, but he couldn't dig any further, so he came back to find help.
“Brother Dao, I know you were born into the Supreme Daoist sect, and worldly things are beneath your notice. However, the wondrous places I have found are among the most blessed places in the world. If we obtain their benefits, we might not be reborn, but we will certainly increase our strength significantly.”
Feng Bingwen's reaction was indifferent, even cold, but that was also an attitude. What was his status? A dignified Supreme Daoist Master, how could he engage in such lowly activities as digging up graves? Just kidding.
“I picked up a few small items from those wonderful places. Some of them I cannot even tell the origin of. Fellow Daoist, you are very knowledgeable. I would like to ask you to appraise them.”
As he spoke, Tian Yan Daozi took out an object from his sleeve, lifted it with his magic power, and presented it to Feng Bingwen. It was a broken bone fragment that shone with golden light and had a glassy luster.
Although it was just a broken bone fragment less than the size of a palm, it exuded a powerful aura that even Feng Bingwen found unsettling. Divine runes flowed on it, illustrating the Dao and the principles.
"Divine bones?"
Before Feng Bingwen could speak, an old voice, unable to suppress its astonishment, rang out from within his body. A divine wheel, radiant with five-colored light, leaped out from his Baihui acupoint, its divine light scattering down and enveloping the golden bone fragments.
"Kid, where did you find this? Is this just some small item you picked up? Yeah, there should be more of these, how could there be only a little? Where is it? Take me there right now, this is some good stuff!"
The voice that rang out from the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel was even somewhat excited. Even if Feng Bingwen was indifferent, he would understand that the origin of the bone fragment in front of him was extremely extraordinary. Even this spiritual artifact, which had already given birth to intelligence and possessed the seven emotions and six desires, and was no different from ordinary intelligent beings, was shaken and could not be suppressed.
"Senior, do you recognize this item?"
Wu Yong, the Daoist Master of Heavenly Evolution, looked surprised and humbly sought the Dao.
"You little charlatan, are you really up to no good? You deserve a beating. If you didn't know the origin of this divine bone, would you have taken it out to tempt Feng?"
Tianyan Daozi's humble attitude in seeking advice did not earn him a kind word from Tianlun. Instead, he was given a lecture. A divine light descended and struck Wu Yong, sending him flying into the air and rolling around in the hall several times, looking quite disheveled. However, apart from that, the guy's aura was solid and he showed no signs of injury. Clearly, this was just a minor punishment.
"Divine bones?"
Seeing the scene before him, Feng Bingwen didn't say much. He just stared at the broken golden bone fragments in front of him. To be honest, he didn't recognize the name of this thing. Even if he knew its name, he didn't know its purpose. However, before he could ask, the second immortal artifact in his body reacted.
It was an ancient tower riddled with cracks, which trembled as it burst forth from Feng Bingwen's dantian. With a sharp sword light, it didn't hesitate, like a ferocious beast that had been starving for a long time, shattering the magic power wrapped around the bone fragments and swallowing it directly into the bottom of the tower.
In an instant, golden light radiated everywhere, and endless golden divine light shone through the ancient tower, causing an unprecedented change to this immortal artifact that had been shattered and barely repaired and glued back together.
Every crack was clearly visible, but at this moment, those cracks were being filled by the golden divine light. As the wielder of this immortal artifact, Feng Bingwen could clearly feel the changes.
This was originally a broken immortal artifact, obtained through a prayer in the Heavenly Book. Feng Bingwen had to be on tenterhooks every time he used it, fearing that it would fall apart on its own if he exerted even a little force.
He also obtained a ferocious beast skeleton from his master, repaired some parts of it, and could act more freely without being too cautious.
However, this does not change the fact that it is a broken immortal artifact. But now, after consuming a bone fragment no bigger than the palm of his hand, this immortal artifact has actually begun to recover once again, and it is much stronger than the Xiang Liu corpse provided by his master.
"Brother Feng, this is just for you to sample, I never said I was going to give it to you!"
Upon seeing this, Tianyan Daozi, who had just gotten up from the ground, shouted loudly. However, despite losing such a rare treasure, he showed no disappointment but instead revealed a bright smile, clearly in a very good mood.
What is this so-called divine bone?
Asking questions when you don't understand is a consistent and admirable quality of Feng Bingwen's. He wasn't embarrassed at all and directly inquired about the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel.
"What is its value?"
"Value? This thing is priceless, immeasurable. Young Feng, just look at the cunning look on this little charlatan's face. You can tell he came here with an ulterior motive. Ask him what his intentions are. If it's not too outrageous, just give in. Your divine artifact has already swallowed the divine bone."
On the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel, the dazzling divine light flickered. When Feng Bingwen asked the question, the spirit within it chuckled and replied, revealing a somewhat disrespectful and roguish old man's temperament.
"Feng Daozi, the so-called divine bones naturally refer to the remains of gods, but they are not the incense-burning gods we commonly see. Strictly speaking, they are merely spiritual bodies, and there is no essential difference between them and the five spirits that Daozi possesses. The only difference is that they consume incense smoke, while your five spirits devour the essence of heaven and earth!"
Wu Yong explained that although the divine treasure he had brought back was gone, he wasn't saddened by it. What he needed to do now was to make this Daoist understand just how rare and precious the divine bone he had just shown him was.
"My divine bone is a remnant left behind by a true god. Even a small piece can repair the flawed immortal artifact you possess. Its uses are truly boundless."
"God!"
At this moment, Feng Bingwen frowned. He was not so ignorant as to be ignorant; he knew what a god was.
Mountains have mountain gods, and waters have water gods. These mountain and water gods are the most numerous natural deities in the world. Then there are the incense gods who are born from the offerings of the wisdom gods.
However, there is another type of deity, the rarest in number and with extremely powerful average strength: the Celestial Gods. They wield the Qi of Heaven, a more mysterious power that surpasses even the earth's veins and water veins controlled by the gods of mountains and rivers.
Every god, even the weakest one, is only qualified to communicate with human immortals. They exist eternally, as long as heaven and earth, yet even such beings can perish.
However, once a god falls, his body will return to the world. Unless the god foresees his own demise and makes plans and arrangements in advance, it is extremely difficult for the god's body to be preserved.
"You little charlatan, you're something else! You didn't dig up a sacred tomb, did you?"
Before Feng Bingwen could speak, the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel began to shout excitedly. Before Tianyan Daozi could reply, the recently acquired immortal artifact began to urge Feng Bingwen on.
“Young Feng, if it really is a celestial tomb, then this is an incredible opportunity. Don’t miss it. And don’t be so proud of your lowly status as a Daoist disciple. Even if the Dao Lord came, that guy would probably shamelessly dig up the celestial tomb.”
"Senior, please don't get excited. I haven't confirmed where that place is yet. I was just wandering around the perimeter when I accidentally picked up that bone fragment. The core area is inaccessible."
