Three colored!
Four colored!
…
As the monochromatic light changed into a six-colored one, the Undying Rock Wall started trembling and the human depressions on the wall started shining from inside. The light they emitted was such that the surface of the wall seemed like a transparent, six-colored, unpolished jade.
In the next moment, the light from the wall bloomed brilliantly, turning the dark sky white as unceasing bursts of glowing light were emitted.
”What's going on?”
Yin Demon Ancestor raised his head and peered into the depths of mountain range.
Outside the Saintlands, in the rainforest of underground world, the human statues that had fallen down from the surface started trembling. They suddenly rose up in the air and moved towards the Saintlands. Enroute, they suddenly disappeared in the void.
As this scene was witnessed by the Greenwood Saint Clan, they believed to have seen a miracle, their mouths left hanging open.
The sculptures didn't pass through the conveyor gate, as they arrived inside Saint Lands through the space. The sculptures of saintlands, as if reacting to an invasion, all resurrected, roaring in the latter's direction as they charged at an astonishing speed. Those who were near chased after them while frantically attacking. The whole scene gave off a feeling of mutual destruction.
Peng! Peng!
The external sculptures emanated a brilliant light, and all those sculptures of Saintlands that made contact with it immediately crumbled apart, their undying bodies rendered completely ineffective.
The external sculptures were flying at an astonishing speed, only intermittently visible in the sky. Within merely ten breaths of time, they arrived at the radiant valley. Then, they properly arranged their positions in the sky and entered into the depressions on the wall one by one.
The light that had been illuminating the heaven and earth was immediately restrained as the sculptures returned. Complicated lines appeared on the bodies of the sculptures, which indistinctly linked to the lines on the wall, forming a complete network which led to the center of the wall, just above the cavity.
Rumble!
With a muffled sound, a golden rock sprouted outwards. Although the rock wasn't golden, the light it emanated was more golden than gold itself. Going past the golden light and looking inside the semi-transparent rock, Ye Chen and Murong QIngcheng could see a sealed handscroll. It was precisely this handscroll that was emitting the golden radiance. It had no connection with the rock whatsoever.
”Golden Scroll!”
As the perpetrator, Ye Chen could naturally tell that this scroll was not ordinary. He felt that this golden scroll ought to contain the cultivation secrets of the undying body.
Buzz!
Slowly, cracks started appearing on the stone, which leaked even more of the overflowing golden radiance, making the stone itself seem like a hedgehog. But, this wasn't the end. Above the stone, a golden phantom formed gradually, sitting cross-legged. The phantom's appearance was quite vague, but the aura it emanated was as boundless as the heaven and earth, making one unable to hold back from kneeling down and bowing.
”Golden light, golden phantom… Don't tell me that it's the undying body?”
Several thousand li away from the mountain's core, an amazed expression flickered on the Yin Demon Ancestor's face. Back then when he had discovered the map of the undying body, there was also a picture. In the picture was a golden scroll, and within the radiance of golden scroll was a golden phantom sitting cross-legged. The golden phantom before his eyes was exactly the same.
”Undying body… Yes, this is definitely the undying body. Somebody freed the restraints, allowing the undying body to appear once again in this world. B*stard… I will kill him. The undying body belongs to me.” He had studied the undying map for more than fifty years. Was it not to obtain it himself? He had lost motivation before, but it was not because he no longer cared for it, but rather because there was no sight of it, and his body was completely battered. However, with the undying body now within his sights, he would kill whoever tried to stop him from getting his hands on it.
With his eyes tinged with a faint redness, Yin Demon Ancestor charged towards the center of the mountain range at his peak speed.
Kacha!
The stone shattered, and the golden scroll once again appeared in the world.
”Eh? It's not substantive, but made of energy.” Ye Chen focused his eyes and discovered that the golden scroll wasn't a true scroll, but was condensed from a golden energy. The faintly discernible characters it contained waved about in a rhythmic manner.
The golden scroll remained still for a moments before violently exploding. A boundless golden light swarmed Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng. At that moment, the two felt as if the time itself had stopped. They couldn't feel anything, and couldn't even bring themselves to think. The only thing left behind was their vision filled with the overflowing golden light.
Puff!
Suddenly, Murong Qingcheng spurted out a mouthful of blood, sent flying back the golden light. Ye Chen, however, didn't receive any harm and continued to be engulfed by the golden light.
”The Golden Scroll's requirements for soul are way higher than a low grade profound skill. No wonder….” Murong Qingcheng had a pensive look as she more or less understood the situation. It wasn't that the golden light rejected her; instead, she was rejected by the process of elimination, since her soul's essence didn't have the qualifications.
