Chapter 762: Vitality-returning Celestial Stone (2/2)

Immediately afterwards, power started to madly spill from every expert’s spiritual sea.

It was as if a mysterious magnet existed in the depths of the earth, which was now channeling spiritual power of all attributes towards it.

Even Yue Yanxi was shocked as he shrewdly noticed that the raging flame power within his blaming domain started to leave his side and shoot down towards the depths of the earth.

Yue Yanxi’s expression flickered slightly. “W-what’s going on?”

“Come inside and you won’t be affected anymore,” Nie Tian said, smiling.

At this moment, Ke Jinpeng had long since lost the desire to fight Yue Yanxi, but was doing everything he could to stop himself from losing spiritual power.

SHEW!

Yue Yanxi flashed through the stone gate, and was instantly free of the unusual influence.

He now realized that he wouldn’t lose a single shred of spiritual power as long as he remained in the palace.

AHHH!! AHHH!!

In the distance, the ancient golden starship had crashed into the earth. Some Bliss Mountain Sect disciples were wailing, while many had already died from the terrifyingly strong impact.

Mu Biqiong from the Bliss Mountain Sect was standing at the prow of the starship and gazing up at the atmosphere of mixed energies. A pained look appeared in her eyes.

“Holy Daughter! This place...” Yao Zhilan exclaimed, looking deeply panicked. “How come this place is going through the same thing as Master Voidspirit’s realm?”

It was Mu Biqiong who had initiated the operation to look for Master Voidspirit’s legacies. She had led the first few exploration trips.

Unlike Yin Yanan, she didn’t have an unusually strong fleshly body. Every time, she had had to return shortly after entering due to the rapid spiritual power loss she had experienced.

Any Qi warrior who had entered Master Voidspirit’s realm lost all of their spiritual power over a short period of time.

Right now, the exact same thing was happening on this continent. Everyone was being drained of their spiritual power at an alarming rate. How would they not be shocked?

“Can it be that Master Voidspirit came here before?” Tian Ziping muttered with a grim expression. “It’s hard to believe how similar this place is to the arcane realm where Master Voidspirit perished! Did he obtain something here and then merge it with his own realm?!”

“Who knows!” Mu Biqiong said bitterly.

WHOOSH!

Jiang Feng from the Bliss Mountain Sect suddenly flew into the golden starship.

Face filled with shock and fear, Yao Zhilan said, “Elder Jiang...”

She saw wisps of spiritual power flying out of his body uncontrollably.

“There’s an Earth Cultivated grade treasure in the depths of the earth, and it has become a part of this continent,” Jiang Feng said with a grim expression. “It seems to be controlled by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, and can be used to channel spiritual power from all living beings.

“Unlike Elementary, Medium, and Premium grade items, Earth Cultivated grade treasures possess their own spirit and awareness.”

Tian Ziping gasped with astonishment. “Earth Cultivated grade treasures!”

Almost at the same time, Sha Yan from the Bliss Mountain Sect shouted, looking down at the earth under his feet, “Vitality-returning Celestial Stone! It must be a Vitality-returning Celestial Stone! Only a Vitality-returning Celestial Stone can achieve such unbelievable effects and absorb the spiritual power Qi warriors have gone to great lengths to gather!”

Ke Jinpeng’s expression flickered. “That must be it! There’s a Vitality-returning Celestial Stone in the depths of this floating continent! This is terrible news for us. If we continue to stay here, every last bit of our spiritual power, which took us many years to gather, will be taken from our spiritual seas to nourish this piece of land and enrich the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in this place!

“I’m afraid this damned place is a trap set up by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace! That layer of mixed auras seems to be an obstacle, yet it was actually put there to provoke explorers’ curiosity, and tempt them into charging through it at all costs!

“I even suspect that the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth here is only so rich because a large number of powerful experts have been tempted into this place, and had their spiritual power drained by the Vitality-returning Celestial Stone. Only after a long period of accumulation did the density of the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth build up to such a high level.”

Even though Guan Fu from the Guan Clan and Jian Tong from the Jian Clan had never heard of Vitality-returning Celestial Stones, their expressions flickered after hearing Ke Jinpeng’s words.

“What Earth Cultivated grade treasure?!” Jian Tong exclaimed. “It should be called a life-claiming item instead!!”

Standing behind the stone gate, Nie Tian rubbed his chin and sad, “A Vitality-returning Celestial Stone... Earth Cultivated grade… What does Earth Cultivated grade mean, Senior Yue?”

Yue Yanxi seemed to be in a good mood as explained, “Spiritual materials can be divided into many grades. Other than the Elemental, Medium, and Premium grades, there are also Earth Cultivated and Heaven Nourished grades, which are truly rare and unique treasures. Such treasures are born with a vague level of awareness, and can’t be treated as lifeless and ordinary spiritual materials.

“You know people say that everything in this world has a spirit, and that’s because there’s a slim chance for even trees, grass, rocks, and mountains to develop awarenesses.

“These materials that have developed an awareness are called either Earth Cultivated or Heaven Nourished treasures. And they have endless wonderful uses.

“I’ve only heard of Earth Cultivated grade spiritual materials, but never seen any throughout the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries.”
