Chapter 841: Stardus (1/2)
t
Jian Chen, the Heavenly Enchantress and Hei Yu were astonished by Rui Jin’s words and immediately focused on it with their senses. They discovered that the energy created when the extremely hot and extremely cold energies fused was indeed extremely similar to the energy in the island’s sky. They seemed to be the same.
“So the weird energy on the island is formed like this and these two extremely hot and extremely cold energies only exist in the Lunastron Pit. Moreover, the appearance of the pit is an oddity, as if it was created from the crater of a meteor. Do the changes of the island really originate from here?” Hei Yu deduced.
“The two energies can’t have appeared out of nowhere. There must be an origin for them,” Rui Jin said gruffly, before beginning to search the surroundings. Jian Chen, the Heavenly Enchantress and Hei Yu also began to search the bottom of the pit, hoping to find the source of the two energies.
“This presence really is so familiar, yet it’s not at the same time…” Qing Suo’s chime-like voice suddenly rang out in Jian Chen’s head.
“Qing Suo, do you recognize this energy?” Jian Chen communicated with Qing Suo with his thoughts.
“Master, we are indeed slightly familiar with the energy here but it’s not this type of energy,” Zi Ying who replied.
A thoughtful look appeared in Jian Chen’s eyes. He did not say anything and continued to search his surroundings instead. After he traveled a hundred meters, some dust that glimmered slightly on the ground caught Jian Chen’s attention.
Jian Chen squatted down and gently grabbed a handful of the glimmering dust and closely examined it Afterward, a smile appeared on his face. “Stardust, this is stardust. I’ve finally found it. I never thought that stardust really would originate from the Lunastron Pit.”
Casting his gaze out, he saw the glimmering stardust scattered on the ground like a thin layer of sand. It covered the entire region, stretching as far as his eyes could see.
Jian Chen did not hesitate at all after finding the stardust. He immediately pulled out a bag from his Space Ring and began to collect the stardust handful after handful.
In other worlds, stardust was known as an energy-gathering dust. Other than forging the Azulet swords, it could also gather the energy of the world. It was extremely helpful to fighters. If someone had enough stardust to place into a sect, the sect’s energy of the world would immediately skyrocket, increasing the cultivation rate of everyone there. It would forge a solid foundation for a large organization in the future.
“This stardust is very useful to the Changyang clan. Now that I’ve come here after so much trouble, I need to collect more of it.” Jian Chen thought.
“Master, the stardust on the ground is all junk-quality. Don’t collect that. Collect the stardust floating in the air.” Suddenly, Zi Ying’s voice appeared in Jian Chen’s head.
“What? Junk?” Jian Chen was shocked. He glanced at his half-full bag of stardust and then looked toward the glimmering lights that floated in mid-air like stars. He saw that every glimmer of light was the size of a rice grain, much larger than the sand-like stardust on the ground. Additionally, they glowed with a much brighter light. They were extremely beautiful.
Jian Chen asked out of curiosity, “Zi Ying, are those also stardust?”
“Yes master. Those are also stardust floating in the sky and are all of higher quality. They are much better than the junk-like stardust on the ground.” Zi Ying’s confident voice sounded in Jian Chen’s head.
Glancing at the bag of stardust again, Jian Chen hesitated slightly. He did not throw it away and instead tied up the bag and placed it into his Space Ring. Afterward, he pulled out another bag, beginning to collect the stardust floating in the sky.
As the stardust in the air was extremely well-dispersed, Jian Chen’s collection was extremely slow. He needed to grab them grain by grain with his hands.
“All of you come over right now.”
At that very moment, the Heavenly Enchantress’s voice came from the distance. Hearing it, Jian Chen immediately stopped his collection, running in the Heavenly Enchantress’s direction with quick strides.
When he got there, he realized that Rui Jin and Hei Yu were one step faster and had already arrived. Right before the three of them lay a human corpse. They did not know how long it had been dead for but its appearance had not changed at all.
Jian Chen examined the corpse curiously. He could feel the weird energy in the surroundings constantly entering the corpse and slowly fusing into its bones. This weird energy just happened to be produced when the extremely hot and extremely cold energies fused.
“It’s a Saint Ruler. Looking at it, he’s already been dead for thousands of years but there’s no sign of decomposition at all,” Rui Jin said with a deep voice.
Hei Yu stared at the corpse with interest. “I can feel that there are some changes currently occurring in its body. It’s currently transforming into something like the living corpses. Look, it’s the weird energy here that made those who had passed away gain an unkillable body and with a weird method, it reanimates them.”
At this very moment, the corpse on the ground snapped open its eyes without any prior signs. Its eyes were dull without any signs of life. It immediately produced a great roar, echoing through the entire pit. Afterward, it immediately stood up from the ground and hurled a fist to Rui Jin, who was the closest.
