Chapter 556: Divine Weapon, Divine Essence, Divine Soul (1/2)
Divine Weapon, Divine Essence, Divine Soul
“The Void? What kind of a place is that?” Han Shuo was flabbergasted. What kind of terrible dangers and threats could lurk in a place that even the five Great Demon Kings had to enter with fear?
“It is the root of our material plane. There are all kinds of devastating chaotic energies inside, as well as all kinds of naturally formed offensive boundaries and peculiar scenes. It is extraordinarily frightening,” Manticole wore a grave expression when he mentioned this ‘Void’, seemingly uneasy about this unusual location.
Han Shuo really didn’t care if the ‘Void’ was frightening or not. He did not have any desire or plan to explore the place. All that he wanted was to leave the Abyss realm. After thinking for a moment, from his space ring Han Shuo withdrew the bone tablet he obtained from War Demon Valley’s weaponry depot. He raised it in his hand and asked Manticole, “This bone tablet, Crosius told me that he obtained this from your place. Can you tell me where you procured this bone tablet?”
A bone tablet that still had its imprint on it was the key to activating a Cemetery of Death. If a bone tablet showed up in such a place, then a Cemetery of Death has to be close by as well. If Han Shuo could figure out the origins of the bone tablet from Manticole, he might very well find the location of an another Cemetery of Death. In that case, Han Shuo could then use the planar coordinates and teleport directly to the transportation matrix at the center of his Cemetery of Death back at Profound Continent. He could skip finding another interplanar transportation matrix inside this plane.
“Oh! This thing!” Manticole smiled, looking deeply at Han Shuo, and said, “That little tablet, I obtained from the Void the last time I entered. This magical ring of mine included, it all came from inside the Void. Hehe, honestly speaking, it is only in that place that you may obtain certain unusual items that the Abyss realm lacks.”
Han Shuo was stunned at those words. He stared fixedly at Manticole with glistening eyes and thought, Could this Manticole be deliberately making up things to deceive me? From Manticole’s manner of speaking, Han Shuo noticed that Manticole seemed to be luring him into the Void to check things out for himself. Perhaps Manticole made out that he wasn’t quite interested in that place, and therefore told him an untruth?
After carefully observing Manticole’s expression for quite a while, Han Shuo saw that he had on only a composed expression and he couldn’t find any clues from his face. He couldn’t help but question puzzlingly, “Could it be that the Void is a hub that connects to another plane? Otherwise, how would there be so many unusual things present there?”
Manticole shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “How did the Void form? Is it a hub that connects to other planes? I have no idea. But what I do know is that the Void is the most mysterious place of our material plane. According to legends, the interplanar transportation array is at the center of the Void. I have only been to the Void twice, and have definitely picked up my fair share of enigmatic finds. I personally think that it was a battlefield. Because, in there, I have discovered Divine Weapon, Divine Essence, and Divine Soul that was without consciousness and left with purely the memories.”
“Divine Weapon! Divine Essence! Divine Soul!” Han Shuo was jolted. With his jaw to the floor, he shrieked, “How is that possible?!”
Divine weapons are weapons forged by gods that they could pour their divine energy directly into. Gods of different grades would forge divine weapons of their corresponding grades. A high-grade divine weapon could fully bring out the divine energy of its owner, and might even have the miraculous ability to amplify their divine energy. The Divine Essence was also an extremely miraculous item. They were exotic substances and no one knew how they were formed. There were twelve different types of Divine Essences for each and every one of the twelve fundamental forces. Gods could absorb the energy inside Divine Essence to advance their divine power, provided that they were of the same energy type.
Therefore, Divine Essences were extremely precious!
Divine Essence was precious on any material plane where there were gods. They were so rare and scarce that no one would carry the hope of finding any. Han Shuo had never ever expected that Divine Essence would actually present inside the Void.
Divine Soul, made up purely of memories that were ridden of consciousness, was formed when a god dies in an unusual way. After death, their souls would enter a mysterious state and would not dissipate between heaven and earth for some time. They were harmless. All that was left of them was their understanding and comprehension of the elemental energy or edictal force they cultivated in. They were stranded in a strange state of matter that contained all the memories of a being while it was still alive, minus any autonomy or awareness. The most important thing was that they could be assimilated by the soul.
Compared to a divine weapon and Divine Essence, a Divine Soul without a consciousness was much rarer and more precious. The reason being that, to gods, the most elementary determinant of their strength was rank. Just imagine, if a lowgod were to obtain the memories of a midgod cultivating in the same energy, gaining a whole new level of cultivation experiences, just how many winding roads would he have saved himself?
