Chapter 1264 Obtaining the Brick

Long Chen’s words almost made Bao Buping and Chang Hao faint . He had actually set his sight upon the divine fetus’s pillow? Wasn’t that like plucking a hair from a tiger?

If they disturbed it, they would all die . They were unable to imagine that the person the old man viewed highly, the calm and intelligent Long Chen, would do something as crazy as this .

“Long Chen… do you really think that’s possible?” Bao Buping gulped, unable to believe his ears .

“Don’t worry about it . As long as we don’t form any hostility for the divine fetus, we’ll be fine . The brick isn’t connected to the formation, so as long as we’re careful, we would succeed . ” Long Chen was extremely confident . He was sure that this brick was being used as nothing more than an ordinary pillow .

“I’ll hold the head, and you switch out the brick . ” Long Chen reached out toward its head .

The divine fetus was like a statue . When Long Chen raised its head, its entire body was raised into the air, leaving about an inch of s.p.a.ce between it and the brick .

Bao Buping and Chang Hao began to sweat . But since Long Chen wanted the brick, they hastily pushed it out .

This brick seemed like an ordinary cyan stone pillow . But it was actually extremely heavy, and even the two of them had to work hard to push it out from beneath the divine fetus’s head .

“Take something out to replace it . It just has to be of the same height,” whispered Long Chen .

“What should we use?” asked Bao Buping .

“Anything! As long as the height’s the same . This thing’s about the same weight as a normal human, so it’ll be fine,” said Long Chen .

“How about a wine pot?” asked Chang Hao .

“Sure . ” Long Chen nodded .

Chang Hao quickly took out a pot-shaped object and placed it beneath the divine fetus’s head . Its height perfectly matched the stone pillow .

Long Chen carefully placed the divine fetus back down . Seeing that it didn’t react at all, he sighed with relief .

But then just a moment later, he sniffed a few times . A strange expression appeared on his face .

“This is your wine pot? It’s clearly a chamber pot! You use a chamber pot to drink wine?!”

“Ah? f.u.c.k, I mixed them up! I’ll switch it . ”

“Just leave it . It’s not worth the effort . Being able to sleep on a chamber pot is its fortune . ” Long Chen shook his head . Ignoring the divine fetus, he looked at the stone pillow .

It was extremely heavy and truly just like a brick . Yes, it appeared to be just an ordinary cyan brick .

But the eight corners of it had extremely tiny divine runes . He had only decided to take it because he had seen those divine runes . Those eight divine runes were things he didn’t recognize, but he felt that they had the same air as the divine rune the mysterious expert in the Four Nations Ancient Remnant had left behind on the black pot . That was why he had deduced that it was an absolute treasure .

Fortunately, the brick wasn’t connected to the divine fetus . Taking it didn’t disturb the divine fetus at all .

There was no time to examine the brick any closer . He put it in the primal chaos s.p.a.ce and prepared to leave . At this time, he saw Bao Buping staring at the divine elixir unwillingly .

“Don’t look . You can’t touch it, and seeing but not being able to touch it is just torture . Why bother? We have more important things to do . ”

Bao Buping and Chang Hao nodded . Since Long Chen said that they couldn’t touch it, then they definitely couldn’t touch it . They followed Long Chen out of the coffin . Restoring the cover, they opened the altar formation again and returned to the wall along the chain .

Climbing up the stone wall, they didn’t encounter any of this world’s creatures again . Other than when they escorted geniuses here, it seemed that they didn’t come here at all . Perhaps they were too confident in their defenses and had never imagined that someone would be able to enter this deep .

Once they had climbed back up to the peak of the mountain, they looked down at the endless darkness below, their hearts heavy . They had discovered a heaven-shaking plot .

But right now, they were too weak . Even though they had discovered this plot, they were unable to do anything about it .

“Now what? Should we go back and report this?” wondered Chang Hao .

During this trip, they had investigated many parts of Devil Spirit Mountain and would be able to make a map whenever they wanted . They would be able to bring the secret of the altar out as well . Even if they hadn’t found the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet, this was still a miracle, and it left a path open for future disciples of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect who came here . They would find surviving easier, and there would be greater chances of finding the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet in the future .

“Maybe one of us should go back now,” said Bao Buping .

His meaning was that they shouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket . If they split up, their probability of success would increase .

One person could go back with the secrets they had learned, while the other two could continue searching . If those two died here, at least one person would have escaped . If all three of them died, all their efforts would have been useless .
