Chapter 580.2: Fright (1/2)
“Is this the supreme treasure of the fur seals?” Lu Yun frowned faintly. “That can’t be it. According to Su Xiaoxiao’s memories, the fur seals didn’t have any special lineages or powerhouses. As a species, they were the lowest of the low in the Primordial Eta. Aether dao immortality was the limit of their potential, so it’s absolutely impossible for them to craft this kind of treasure.
“Plus, there’s a rich energy inside that obviously came from demons… Demons… Ge, Ge!”
His eyes shone as he suddenly thought of something. “The four celestial masters of the ancient immortal court… were from the human, monster spirit, demon, and divine races! Their family names were respectively Zhang, Xu, Ge, and Sa!”
Celestial Master Zhang, Celestial Master Xu, Celestial Master Ge, and Celestial Master Sa! As it happened, the demon celestial master’s family name was Ge!
“Does this mean that this jar once belonged to the demon celestial master?”
According to Su Xiaoxiao’s memories, the demon celestial master was the then number one equipment refiner in the immortal world, one who could manifest the forge of earth and sky—the highest realm of the equipment dao.
“He’s probably the one who refined the bone bricks as well. The fur seals are surnamed Ge, but they can’t possibly be Celestial Master Ge’s descendants. Maybe they’re one of the insurance policies he left behind?”
He recalled Ge Yun saying that, if not for Lu Yun freeing the fur seals from their self-isolation with his formation of heaven and earth, the race wouldn’t have been able to set foot back in the world.
Fur seals were primitive creatures that didn’t form clans or take on family names. However, the ones he’d run into now claimed the surname Ge and possessed Celestial Master Ge’s treasure. It was impossible for there not to be some sort of connection between the two.
“I’ll have to ask the little fox when I head back…” He couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile. “That fox had everything planned out from the start, that’s why she told me not to discuss any part of what happened here when I return.
“But the demon celestial master’s treasure is immensely useful to me. I have quite a few precious treasures on me, but none that someone of my level can use… A primordial treasure like this jar will suit me just fine.”
He regained his calm and started refining the jar. The treasure held a universe inside, and he could even sense a complete immortal dao in it.
“I must obtain a copy of the complete immortal dao and research it from every angle. To do so, I need to go where the fur seals live… Ge Yanxia, was it? I need to take her alive!”
But right now, Kui was the only method at his disposal to capture a primordial dao immortal alive—one who possessed a complete immortal dao. Neither he, nor his other subordinates had that kind of strength.
……
Boom!
Quite a long time later, the Lake of Yin suddenly erupted, energy boiling forth from underground and flooding an area a hundred kilometers wide. Almost palpable, the yin energy lacerated the surrounding space like a sharp blade. Meanwhile, faintly discernible dragon howls could be heard below ground.
Lu Yun immediately paused his refinement of the jar and sprang to his feet, pointing one finger at the sky and another at the land while shouting, “Hold!”
Simultaneously, he deployed the Dragonsearch Invocation and Dragonshift Method to stabilize the giant yin vein underneath.
“Dragonsearch Invocation, Dragonshift Method… Dragonspike Litany!” he roared furiously.
Still below ground, Zuo Longxiou was at a critical stage in his bid to absorb the yin vein, so Lu Yun had unleashed the final legacy art of his sect: the Dragonspike Litany!
His sect possessed two great inheritances: the first was the cosmic feng shui method, a skill that allowed one to decipher feng shui through observation of the stars. The second was the sect’s core legacy, an inheritance with power far exceeding the cosmic feng shui method… namely, the Dragonsearch Invocation series.
Dragonsearch Invocation, Dragonshift Method, and Dragonspike Litany!
