215 Divine Soul Shaper (1/2)
After separating from the two disciples of the Sky Sword Sect, Zhou Donghuang began patiently scouring through the beast mountain to find the place of burial of the Dharma Peak adept, although it was somewhat like finding a needle in a haystack.
One day passed to no avail.
Two more days passed to no avail as well.
...
Zhou Donghuang used a grand total of five days to find the suspected place of burial of the Dharma Peak adept. Of course, before he confirmed it, it could only be said to be the suspected place.
That was because it was hidden too well.
”It's hidden too deep in... If not for the two beasts killing each other and knocking over the thorns here, loosening the ground, I would not have found it at all.”
Zhou Donghuang glanced at the cracks in the ground formed by the broken thorns, broke through these cracks and saw that there was a dark cave passage hidden below.
Beside Zhou Donghuang, two giant creatures were lying on the ground without making any sounds. These were the two Connate beasts that had been fighting and killing each other.
Once Zhou Donghuang had appeared, they had stopped fighting and turned to attack Zhou Donghuang instead. They then ended up dying in his hands.
”These few days... I've visited this place at least three times and never discovered it till now.”
With a shake of his head and a sigh, Zhou Donghuang raised his palms, and a silver glass palm rushed out, cracking apart the passage with a giant ”boom!”
The crack could fit a middle-aged man passing through and was suitable in size for Zhou Donghuang.
”I must be right, it has to be here!”
Zhou Donghuang walked into the cave passage and there were no obstructions to be found. Finally, he entered a dark cave house. With Zhou Donghuang's inner Yuan forming into Samadhi fire, the entire cave house suddenly lit up.
The cave house was not extremely spacious and was rather simplistic in design.
On the floor, in the middle of the ground, a man was sitting cross-legged. He was now a bag of bones, and his entire body's clothes were torn and tattered. On the middle finger of his left hand, he wore a space ring.
Other than that, there was nothing else left in this room.
”Thank you.”
Zhou Donghuang bowed towards the skeleton-like figure before removing the space ring that was on his hand. Afterwards, he checked the room to ensure that there were no other valuable items before retreating out.
”No one else will ever disturb your valuable peace again.”
After leaving the cave house, Zhou Donghuang waved his hands, causing the entire cave passage to shake and collapse. He then settled the thorns at the entrance of the cave house such that it looked ordinary enough before going on his way.
”I can't believe this space ring is actually a galaxy space ring!”
Only a galaxy space ring required the owner's drop of blood as a recognition and activation method.
Furthermore, for a galaxy space ring, its inner capacity was at least three square feet and above. The biggest galaxy space ring could even be ten square feet... If ten feet were translated to Earth's current measurements, it would be about over thirty meters.
Now, Zhou Donghuang's galaxy space ring in his hand had an inner capacity of a perfect square that had a length of more than twenty Earth meters.
This was considered a better than average galaxy space ring.
Furthermore, a galaxy space ring had the following advantage: Even if it was stolen by someone else, as long as the owner was alive and it did not abandon its owner, no one else could retrieve the items within it.
”Let's see what there is inside...”
Zhou Donghuang began to explore what the Dharma peak adept had left behind in his galaxy space ring. Firstly, he found a letter.
While items were stored in the galaxy space ring, time was suspended within. This letter thus looked crisp and brand new. On the letter, it stated, ”To the lucky inheritor, from Mo Gan.”
It was obvious that the name of the Dharma Peak adept who had left the inheritance behind was Mo Gan.
”I hope it's just some random garbage.”
While Zhou Donghuang removed the letter from the envelope, his brows furrowed slightly. If it were possible, he would much rather not open the letter at all.
Normally, for chance encounters, he preferred those who left behind challenges as it meant that he had earned the rewards fair and square.
Furthermore, for those who left behind chance encounters, after one passed the countless challenges set in place to win the rewards, they would not leave you with any other problems.
Even if they did, you could choose to ignore them entirely.
”I already passed the test you left behind to gain this inheritance... Now, after passing the exam, there's yet another task... This is a little unorthodox.”
However, if the owner had not left behind any tasks and gave away chance encounters for free, the inheritor would be at the beck and call of this owner as whatever the former wanted, the inheritor would have to follow and try his best to help fulfill it.
This was the other consequence.
As for Zhou Donghuang, he was someone who was very respectful of human relationships.
”As expected.”
After opening the letter and reading its contents, Zhou Donghuang shook his head and sighed.
”These old people are really quite evil.
”I'd better see what he has left behind first... If it is not enough for me to desire it, or not worth the price, I'll return it at the very least.”
Even if he was unwilling to waste his time, that could be the most viable solution for items that were not valuable enough.
