Chapter 34 Divine Bones
This means you want to have a conversation with him.
The Supreme Elder sneered inwardly. He never expected that someone with such poor aptitude and low cultivation would one day be able to communicate with that immense power.
The Supreme Elder felt both excited and thrilled, never expecting that he would have such a day. He was truly fortunate to have such a great-grandson.
The Supreme Elder felt an overwhelming sense of jealousy when he thought of Zhiyu. If he were Zhiyu, he would not have let himself get hurt, nor would he have given up the opportunity to enter one of the seven major sects and become a superior person. Instead, he would have stayed in his small sect, where even elixirs and medicines were scarce, and he had to rely entirely on his own cultivation.
It is known that Yu, that child, relied solely on his own cultivation to become the strongest in the sect in just over ten years.
At this point, we have to mention talent. Some people, even if they come from ordinary backgrounds, can surpass even the most talented individuals from the seven major sects.
If, if he could obtain Zhiyu's immortal bones... The Supreme Elder coveted them immensely, and countless glints flashed in his eyes, but facing the void, he still had to negotiate with the other party.
"You must tell me from afar how to seize that immortal bone. Only then can I help you," the Supreme Elder said. "I think that as long as Zhiyu has the immortal bone, he probably won't die easily."
Otherwise, why would someone as powerful as Void make an exchange with an ordinary person like him?
The void paused in mid-air, as if in thought.
The Supreme Elder suddenly stood up and frantically began tearing at the words in front of him.
He roared, "If the Immortal Bone can't be taken, what was the point of you appearing in this book in the first place? I've spent eighteen years! I haven't cultivated much during these eighteen years; I've been researching how to change my bones, and now you're telling me the Immortal Bone can't be changed!"
Seeing the Supreme Elder's collapse, Xu Wu's dark words revealed a hint of mockery: "If you thought you could change your bones, Zhi Yu would probably have already entered the Seven Great Sects by now. At that time, he would be powerful and have his teachers looking after him. How could I possibly succeed?"
The Supreme Elder felt as if the blood in his body had congealed and could not flow at all.
It turns out that Xu Wu had been planning Zhi Yu's immortal bones for a long time. If he hadn't been so stubborn at the time, given the sect leader's feelings for his child, he would definitely have sent him to one of the seven major sects!
The Supreme Elder discovered that this Void was a hundred or a thousand times more intelligent than he had imagined. Although it appeared to be a shapeless, black mass, its intelligence was in no way inferior to that of humans; it had even been able to devise a plan so early on…
Therefore, my little schemes and tricks are simply not noticed by the other party.
The Supreme Elder forced himself to say, "Since you started planning so early, what do you need me to do?"
The void faintly condensed into words in the air: "Do nothing now, and wait until later when you are needed."
The Supreme Elder said, "You won't kill me after you've used me, will you?"
Void: "If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago."
That's true. If he wanted to kill the Supreme Elder, he could have easily killed that ignorant old fool when the Supreme Elder challenged him earlier.
But the old things are still somewhat useful.
Without him, the Divine Bone would always be a big problem for him.
Just as the words in the void were fading and about to disappear, the Supreme Elder suddenly shouted, "You, Void, don't go! You must tell me what the Immortal Bone is and what Void is, or I'll go tell the others right now to hurry to the Nine Provinces Academy. Only by handing Zhiyu over to the Dean can his life be saved!"
That's not wrong; that was the second-to-last sentence Zhiyu said before she fell into a coma.
The last sentence was: "If I am a burden to you, then leave me behind, Father. Take care."
The Supreme Elder watched as the words in the void slowly began to distort, as if the void itself was going berserk and angry.
Before the Grand Elder could even see clearly, a pitch-black tentacle emerged from nowhere and gripped his neck tightly. The Grand Elder was rendered powerless, rendered helpless like an ordinary mortal, only able to flank and kick. Yet, he still managed to say, "You can only cooperate with me. What I just said was what Zhiyu said before he lost consciousness. I think if killing me now would be of any use, you would have killed me long ago. Why have I been alive until now?"
The tentacles on his neck tightened, and the Supreme Elder continued, his voice broken: "That immortal bone is definitely your weakness. Even if Zhiyu is dead, you will still be wary of the immortal bone. Although I don't know what you want me to do, you definitely want me to help you destroy the immortal bone, don't you think?"
“If you kill me, no one will help you. None of the people in our sect will cooperate with a demon.”
The grip on his neck suddenly loosened, and the Grand Elder slumped to the ground, panting heavily. Outside, other disciples knocked on the door: "Grand Elder, are you there? The Sect Master said we need to depart an incense stick's time earlier than scheduled, Grand Elder?"
Seeing that the Supreme Elder was still panting and had not responded, the ink mark in the void suddenly became anxious and directly injected its spiritual power into his body.
The Supreme Elder cleared his throat and said, "Alright, let's set off."
The disciple breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Supreme Elder come out of the door: "You suddenly went silent, which scared me to death."
A figure flashed behind the sycamore tree in front of the Supreme Elder's gate and quickly disappeared.
The disciple didn't notice the figure spying on them, but the Supreme Elder did. It was the elder who was closest to Zhiyu, and the one who had just told the sect leader to be wary of the Supreme Elder.
In the past, the Supreme Elder would never have noticed this, given the other party's cultivation level. However, with the help of the Void, the Supreme Elder easily noticed him and could even see the direction the other party had left in.
The Supreme Elder did not speak, but instead conversed with the void in his mind: "Can you hear me when I speak like this?"
Immediately afterwards, the Supreme Elder felt two words appear in his vision: "Approved".
It seems that after his threat, the void has become much more polite to him.
"Your power is unlike any other power in this world; it is filled with the aura of decay and destruction, yet it has helped me break through," the Supreme Elder said. "Then can I use your power to cultivate?"
It seemed that because the other was inside his body, their communication was much smoother than before. Moreover, the Supreme Elder was surprised to find that he could actually sense the emotions of the Void. After he finished speaking, he clearly felt the Void chuckle softly.
The other party said, "You dare to use my power to cultivate? You have a lot of nerve. Do you know that Zhiyu, who had the divine bones, almost became a dead man after coming into contact with my power? How long do you think you can withstand it?"
The Supreme Elder was startled, and cold sweat slid down his back.
His earlier words of fearlessness were spoken only when he felt he had no way out. Now, he could use the power of nothingness to cultivate and improve his cultivation. He felt he had never been so powerful. At this moment, nothingness suddenly told him, "This is all because I have precise control over my power. If you lose my control, you will probably turn into a pool of thick water."
The Supreme Elder instinctively wanted to kneel and beg the other party to save his life, but when he thought about how the other party had been planning for so many years, even planning for Zhiyu to grow up and for this attack today, he knew that begging for the other party's mercy was completely useless. So he tried to get information out of him: "You can't destroy that immortal bone, nor can you kill Zhiyu. What do you want me to do?"
Seemingly sensing that this Supreme Elder was not in his grasp, Xu Wu completely relaxed his guard and said, "The Immortal Bone, as the name suggests, is the bone of an immortal. Although I did kill gods and immortals back then, Zhi Yu's Immortal Bone was no ordinary item. It was left by an immortal who was only one step away from becoming a god, who abandoned ten thousand years of cultivation and left a mark on it to kill me."
"Could it be that Zhiyu is the reincarnation of that immortal?"
"Reincarnation? His soul has long since turned to ashes. But then again, Zhiyu's personality does often remind me of that deity."
The Grand Elder was even more horrified. The Void had said "frequently," which meant that the other party had been watching them all these years.
Therefore, all the tricks he played were seen through by the other party.
Xu Wucai didn't care what the Supreme Elder thought and said, "Although that immortal is dead, his immortal bones will always be a threat to me. I need you to poison Zhiyu. Only by completely dissolving those immortal bones can I be free from worries. Otherwise, Cang Yao will be able to use those immortal bones to suppress me again very quickly."
The video abruptly cuts off here.
Ye Kemeng opened her eyes and looked at Cang Yao.
Unexpectedly, Cang Yao was also looking at her at that moment. Ye Kemeng suddenly felt that Cang Yao in front of her seemed to have changed, as if he had regained his memories.
Ye Kemeng's heart skipped a beat. This feeling was probably what she felt before she lost her memory, because how could an ordinary little cat like her feel a tremor in her heart just from making eye contact with someone?
Cang Yao patted Ye Kemeng's head and said, "That's your immortal bone."
Ye Kemeng was taken aback.
She subconsciously repeated Cang Yao's words: "My immortal bones?"
But didn't that nothingness say that the owner of the immortal bone had already vanished into thin air?
Cang Yao patiently explained to her, "You were indeed reduced to ashes. Later, it was the power of the thoughts of thousands of people that allowed you to retain a wisp of your soul. However, your soul is too weak to be pieced together in the cultivation world. The power fluctuations here are too great. Whenever I piece your soul together, it will be scattered by the power within a day. I could only find a place with gentle spiritual energy to allow you to slowly nourish your soul."
