This Time, I Knew Exactly How I Died...
The Treasure Appraisal Art originated from the Divine Engraving Technique. Although Feng Yuzheng's Divine Engraving Technique incomplete, the fragments he obtained from Wuj iang made Feng Yuzheng far more skilled in this Divine Engraving Technique than any other treasure appraisal master in the world.
Don't let Feng Yuzheng's unassuming demeanor fool you; Chu Xinghe knows that this bastard is quite dangerous.
Every year, countless treasures, covered in dust, are discovered in various historical sites.
Previously, the Vast Heaven Holy Land had to spend money to find someone to reawaken these rare treasures.
But now that we have Feng Yuzheng, we no longer need to spend money to awaken any of the rare treasures; Feng Yuzheng can handle everything himself.
Moreover, Feng Yuzheng not only takes on jobs for internal and external forces, but also for various major powers. In fact, Feng Yuzheng does not accept ordinary small jobs.
If you were to offer an ordinary rare treasure, Feng Yuzheng wouldn't even consider making a move.
Only those priceless treasures could pique Feng Yuzheng's interest.
Awakening a treasure of this caliber once would cost an extraordinary amount of money...
Feng Yuzheng's abilities bring in a considerable income for Vast Heaven Holy Land every year.
Moreover, everyone knows that Feng Yuzheng's Divine Engraving Technique is not limited to this. The Divine Engraving Technique can engrave inscriptions on divine weapons and artifacts, which is similar to Ouyang Ling's Spirit Enchantment Technique in some ways.
Ouyang Ling's Spirit Attachment Art can increase the Spirit Power of divine weapons, thereby enhancing their grade and effects.
Divine Engraving Technique is like Enchantment; it can imbue divine weapons with power unlike their original form based on different inscriptions.
For example, if you give a fire-elemental divine weapon to Ouyang Ling, she might have a chance to upgrade its grade.
However, if it is Divine Engraving Technique, it may add wood-type abilities to divine weapons, as wood generates fire... The dual attributes of wood and fire can greatly enhance the effectiveness of divine weapons.
Unfortunately, the Divine Engraving Technique has been lost. This method of engraving inscriptions is the most advanced ability of the Divine Engraving Technique. Even though Feng Yuzheng has studied it for a long time, he can only engrave very few inscriptions... It is the kind of technique where the consumption exceeds the output.
Consuming countless spirit stones and materials may result in a negligible effect from the final engraved inscription!
But everyone understands that it's not that Feng Yuzheng isn't strong enough, it's just that the Divine Engraving Technique has been lost for too long... It's already remarkable that Feng Yuzheng has achieved what he has today.
Therefore, the entire sect fully supports Feng Yuzheng's efforts in expending resources to research the art of inscription.
After all, Feng Yuzheng's abilities are undeniable. Today may have been exhausting and yielded no results, but given the right opportunity, Feng Yuzheng might find a way to restore the glory of the Divine Engraving Technique!
So even though Feng Yuzheng may seem like a nobody all day, in the world of antique appraisal, Feng Yuzheng name is absolutely at the top.
No one dares to challenge Feng Yuzheng's title as the world's number one appraiser!
Among all the Divine Engraving Techniques that Feng Yuzheng has mastered, there are indeed some unique abilities. For example, there is a method called the Method of Tracing Origins, which allows Feng Yuzheng to grasp the attributes of a treasure and the events it has experienced based on the aura left on it.
Now that Senior Brother Xinghe has asked him to use the Evil God's Bone Flute to find out where the Nightmare Evil Lord died, although he doesn't understand what Senior Brother Xinghe means... Feng Yuzheng still immediately activated his Art of Tracing Origins!
Soon, a ray of light flew from Feng Yuzheng's fingertips. The moment the light entered the Evil God's Bone Flute, Feng Yuzheng began to use the Art of Tracing Origins to investigate the residual aura of the Nightmare Evil Lord's contract of recognition on the Evil God's Bone Flute.
Although the contract of recognition has dissipated, that dissipation only applies to ordinary people. For Feng Yuzheng, as long as the Evil God's Bone Flute once had a mark of recognition, even if it has dissipated, it will at least leave behind a very faint aura.
And through this faint aura, one can grasp a great deal.
This includes some information about the Nightmare Evil Lord.
But as Feng Yuzheng went deeper, a look of shock suddenly appeared on Feng Yuzheng face!
"Senior Brother Xinghe... the aura of the Nightmare Evil Lord seems to have reached the Three Continents... and it seems that the place he last disappeared was also the Three Continents..."
Chu Xinghe: "???"
Chu Xinghe was stunned by what Feng Yuzheng said...
Regarding the death of the Nightmare Evil Lord, Chu Xinghe had previously speculated that perhaps there was internal strife within the Evil Shadow Continent, and the Nightmare Evil Lord was killed by their combined forces.
After all, this is the only explanation that makes sense, right?
The Nightmare Evil Lord a Half-Step Main God; who would believe he died in the Three Continents?
Who in the Three Continents can instantly defeat the Nightmare Evil Lord?
But now Feng Yuzheng is saying that the Nightmare Evil Lord died in the Three Continents? Isn't that a bit too outrageous?
Before Chu Xinghe could speak, Feng Yuzheng exclaimed in shock, "Senior Brother Xinghe, I think I know where the Nightmare Evil Lord died!"
"Where?" This time, Chu Xinghe was also curious!
"Senior Brother Xinghe, come with me!" Feng Yuzheng did not hesitate at all, and walked out of the room with the Evil God's Bone Flute in his hand. Chu Xinghe followed closely behind Feng Yuzheng.
Feng Yuzheng arrived at the gate of the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Watching Feng Yuzheng move Xiangqian, Chu Xinghe was stunned... Um... Yuzheng... you wouldn't tell Senior Brother Xinghe that the Nightmare Evil Lord died in our Haotian Mountain Range, would you?
Just as Chu Xinghe was looking on in confusion, Feng Yuzheng stopped in a certain area of the Haotian Mountain Range. This was... the very spot where the Nightmare Evil Lord had stood, and it was here that the Nightmare Evil Lord had activated the Nightmare Realm to attack the Vast Heaven Holy Land...
It has to be said that Feng Yuzheng's Divine Engraving Technique is truly impressive; he actually managed to find the final location of the Nightmare Evil Lord.
The problem is, Chu Xinghe was dumbfounded when he saw this place...
Yuzheng, are you telling me the Nightmare Evil Lord died here?
Is this even scientifically sound?
Come on, let's get to the point. Even if the Nightmare Evil Lord, a Half-Step Main God, really came here, even if he died here, shouldn't the being capable of killing him be at least at his level?
You're saying that after a bloody battle involving experts of this caliber took place in our Haotian Mountain Range, our Vast Heaven Holy Land knew absolutely nothing?
Isn't that a bit too outrageous?
Do you know that there's only one possibility for this to happen: the Nightmare Evil Lord is instantly killed in one move... without even the slightest ability to resist...?
But the question is, does such a thing even exist in this world?
So this isn't even a question of whether it's scientific or not; it can't even be explained by metaphysics...
If you said the Nightmare Evil Lord died in the Land of Bewildered Spirits, I wouldn't find it hard to believe, but he died in our Vast Heaven Holy Land? That just doesn't make sense...
Just as Chu Xinghe was looking completely bewildered, Feng Yuzheng suddenly shouted out.
"Senior Brother Xinghe... look quickly... there's a rare treasure here!"
"My God... so many rare treasures... all of them are rare treasures!"
Feng Yuzheng's sudden shout completely stunned Chu Xinghe!
No... what kind of thing has so many rare treasures?
But soon, Chu Xinghe saw clearly what Feng Yuzheng was holding... At this moment, Feng Yuzheng was holding a large pile of various rare treasures, and the aura emanating from these treasures... although not strong, it was not because the treasures themselves were not powerful enough, but because some force had temporarily suppressed the aura, causing it to be hidden inside the treasures.
From the faint light emanating from these rare treasures, Chu Xinghe could clearly deduce that they were all of unparalleled quality!
"These treasures all bear the aura of the Nightmare Evil Lord... Senior Brother Xinghe... these treasures were all left behind by the Nightmare Evil Lord after his death..."
Feng Yuzheng was so excited that he was jumping up and down.
What Feng Yuzheng said was absolutely correct; these extraordinary treasures were indeed all left behind by the Nightmare Evil Lord after his death.
Knowing that his journey to the Three Continents would be fraught with danger and that he only had an hour, the Nightmare Evil Lord did not hesitate to bring all his most treasured possessions with him in case of emergency.
But the Nightmare Evil Lord couldn't even use those treasures; he just glanced at that creator-like being, and even just at its feet... and he exploded...
With the death of the Nightmare Evil Lord, the Nightmare Realm shattered, and everything the Nightmare Evil Lord within the Nightmare Realm exploded in an instant... scattering across the Haotian Mountain Range...
So the Nightmare Evil Lord not only died... he also looted equipment...
Or all the equipment...
At this moment, Feng Yuzheng was so excited he was about to pee himself... He kept searching around, and good heavens, with Feng Yuzheng's search, more and more rare treasures were found!
Feng Yuzheng was yelling excitedly about finding treasure, and the commotion Feng Yuzheng made reached the ears of the Grand Elder immediately.
These past two days, Xinghe took the Evil God's Bone Flute from the Great Sage without warning. Although the Grand Elder was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions, after all, Xinghe always had a deeper meaning in his actions... Let's just follow the example of the Holy Lord and Watch Quietly as Things Change.
But the question is, what exactly does Xinghe intend to do with the Evil God's Bone Flute?
The Grand Elder couldn't understand it, and when he heard that Xinghe had taken the Evil God's Bone Flute to find Feng Yuzheng, he became even more puzzled.
Yuzheng had already seen the Evil God's Spirit Eye and Evil God's Fang, which were completely useless to him, so the Evil God's Bone Flute would be equally useless. Why would he need to find Yuzheng under these circumstances?
Just as the Grand Elder was completely bewildered, Shen Chun suddenly appeared from some unexpected corner!
"Reporting to the Grand Elder... We've struck it rich... We've struck it rich!"
"Speak!" The Grand Elder glared at Shen Chun, who was visibly excited. Shen Chun didn't dare to keep him in suspense and directly told the Grand Elder about the Haotian Mountain Range.
When the Grand Elder heard that Feng Yuzheng had found more than a hundred pieces of equipment dropped by the Nightmare Evil Lord in the Haotian Mountain Range, even he couldn't help but gasp!
So that's why Xinghe took the Evil God's Bone Flute!
Xinghe wants to use the Evil God's Bone Flute to help Yuzheng find the treasure left behind by the Nightmare Evil Lord after his death!
Xinghe, the Xinghe... and you still say you don't understand the Star Divination Art!
If you don't understand the Star Divination Art, how would you know that the Nightmare Evil Lord died in our Haotian Mountain Range...? And you even sent Yuzheng to look for him... You clearly knew something beforehand... It's just that Heavenly Secrets can't always be fully seen through... So Xinghe must have known the general outline... That's why he used Yuzheng to search for him...
No wonder Xinghe has been acting suspiciously these past few days... he was planning to give us a big surprise!
Chu Xinghe didn't know if the Grand Elder was surprised or not; all Chu Xinghe knew was... "My original intention was to die knowing why..."
And now... not only do they understand why they died...
Not only did he die, but he died knowing exactly what happened...
