Opportunity to Become a God

"What is he saying?" asked the Bamboo Sword Venerable.

"I don't understand." Wei Tianchen shook his head. The giant skeleton made a sound using its true spirit vibration, but even the erudite Wei Tianchen had never heard of this language before.

"Arrest him first, let Zhao Xing question him."

The Bamboo Sword Venerable transformed three ribs into sword light, piercing into the skull of the skeletal giant. The sword tip was aimed at the True Spirit Fire Seed, rendering it instantly immobile. Then he glanced at Zhao Xing: "You may now ask your questions."

The skeletal giant's True Spirit Fire Seed flickered incessantly. "My God, I'm already invincible in the Flame Territory, how can there be someone even more terrifying than him—."

Zhao Xing found it strange when the other person spoke, because it wasn't any language he knew from the Profound Yellow World. It was somewhat similar to Dragon Language, but the other person's Dragon Language felt very disjointed, like an underdeveloped Dragon Language system.

Dragon Language is a kind of incantation, possessing a certain power that can break through the obstacles of a certain path. However, when the other party speaks, they are mobilizing the power of the True Spirit Fire Seed and the White Bone Power.

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment, then mimicked the vibration frequency of the opponent's True Spirit Fire Seed and emitted Dragon Language:

"Who are you? Where is this place? Which state does it belong to? You have Human Race body, so why are you speaking Dragon Language?"

The other person was clearly taken aback when he heard this, and Zhao Xing thought he hadn't understood, so he repeated it.

When I recited it a second time, both the rhythm and the manipulation of the White Bone Power were much closer to the other person's pattern.

"This junior is Bai Junlan. This is Flame Territory. Yes, I am Human Race, so we naturally speak Dragon Language."

Zhao Xing continued to inquire, "Which province does Flame Territory belong to? Why should they naturally speak Dragon Language?"

Bai Junlan was somewhat puzzled; he seemed unaware of Zhao Xing's meaning.

"Senior, Flame Territory is part of the Bone Netherworld."

"We speak the Dragon Language because only two kinds of mantras can produce concrete sounds. One is the Dragon Race Mantra, and the other is the White Bone True Words. Otherwise, we can only transmit our thoughts through fire."

"Do you know who currently wields the Human Emperor Sword and the Book of Destiny in the Central Divine Continent?"

"Senior, I don't understand." Bai Junlan indicated that he did not understand.

"You've heard of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, haven't you?" Zhao Xing began to have some doubts about life.

"No." Bai Junlan seemed to have thought it through carefully, "I really haven't noticed, and it's not in the Southern Jian Continent either."

Zhao Xing's doubts deepened. Bai Lanjun was Six Tribulation True Spirit, which could not be considered weak, yet he had never heard of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Senior, are you referring to a mortal dynasty in the Yang Realm? Perhaps I just haven't heard of it," Bai Lanjun replied cautiously.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Xing suddenly noticed something amiss with Bai Lanjun's words. "The mortal realm?"

"Isn't that what you asked, senior?"

"So where is this place?"

"This is, of course, the Bone Netherworld."

"The Yin Realm?!" Zhao Xing never expected that this place was actually the Underworld. Could it be that the location of the Tribulation-Free White Bone God Domain is in the Underworld? Then wouldn't the three of them be dead? This doesn't make sense.

Bai Junlan realized that these three people seemed to know nothing, as if some reclusive elder had suddenly arrived here. So he had no choice but to patiently start from the beginning. "Three hundred and forty-two years ago, the world underwent a great change. The southern part of the Profound Yellow Continent was shrouded by an extreme moon. Anyone who saw the extreme moon had all their cultivation drained away, and their flesh and blood ceased to exist."

"The Light of the Yin Moon assimilated the Yin Earth, affecting all living beings. It even merged with the Yin Realm in the Southern Continent that was responsible for the Reincarnation of living beings. From then on, the living beings in the Southern Continent no longer reincarnated and were all in this skeletal form."

"And after death, at most it will only gradually fade away, it will not be further annihilated."

"Therefore, the place that belongs exclusively to the Southern Continent of the Profound Yellow Continent is called the Bone Netherworld."

"However, my memories are limited; perhaps I simply haven't heard of the Great Zhou Dynasty—"

Zhao Xing understood part of it. The Yin Realm of the Profound Yellow World corresponds to a specific location in the Yang Realm. Now, the Yang Realm area of this Southern Continent has been refined and merged with the Yin Realm.

Bone God Yuan created the Tribulation-Free White Bone God Domain for 342 years, but at this time, Bai Lanjun seemed unaware of Yuan's existence, attributing this unknown reason to the "great change in heaven and earth".

Assuming the Southern Continent is the location of the Southern Wilderness, where did the original witches and sects of the Southern Wilderness go?

While Zhao Xing was pondering, Bai Lanjun cautiously asked, "Senior, have you just entered the Bone Netherworld?"

"I was originally from the mortal realm, so perhaps I had some dealings with my sect elders and seniors."

Zhao Xing snapped out of his daze and asked, "Which sect do you belong to?"

"I am the thirty-ninth generation elder of the Divine Fire Sect."

"Never heard of it."

Bai Lanjun felt somewhat embarrassed.

Zhao Xing continued to inquire, "From what you're saying, you came to the Bone Netherworld voluntarily, and there were many of you?"

"Yes." Bai Lanjun nodded. "Although the entire Southern Continent has become the Bone Netherworld, there are also many benefits here."

True spirits can grow here without undergoing heavenly tribulations.

"Moreover, you can absorb the Soul Crystal here, or forge your bones with Bone Spirit Stone, and even discover some magical medicinal herbs. There are many benefits."

"Legend has it that someone became Divine Realm here, and eventually his flesh and blood were restored, allowing him to return to the mortal realm."

"As I am approaching my birthday and am skilled in the Searing Fire Formation, the Divine Lord sent me here to investigate and collect treasures and more secrets."

"Eight other elders from the same sect also came here, having given up their physical bodies."

Zhao Xing looked at a fur bag at his feet, which contained many diamond-shaped crystals that aroused a certain desire in him.

He then asked Bai Lanjun some questions before jumping down and returning to Wei Tianchen and Bamboo Sword's side.

"How is it?" Wei Tianchen's true spirit emitted fluctuations.

"He doesn't know much either, only that this is a place called Flame Territory, Flame Territory is ruled by a monarch called the ' Emperor Luofu '." Zhao Xing weighed the crystal core in his hand, and there seemed to be a spark flickering inside it.

"Their main purpose is to hunt down the remaining skeletal life forms to obtain Soul Crystal."

"Soul Crystal originate from the Soul Well, but can also be obtained from other skeletal beings."

"Legend has it that absorbing enough Soul Crystal and Bone Spirit Crystal can lead to godhood, and one can strengthen their true spirit and physical body without undergoing tribulation. Ultimately, one can be resurrected, their flesh and blood regenerated, and leave this place."

The Bamboo Sword Venerable did not express his opinion, but Wei Tianchen was shocked after learning about it, and the flame kept flickering.

"The Soul Well nurtures the life of white bones, replacing the Wheel of Life."

"Soul Crystal and Bone Spirit Stone replace the absorption of spiritual energy and do not consume the Great Dao Origin of Heaven and Earth."

"Without calamities, the White Bone Divine Domain operates eternally, proving the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and is in the Divine King Realm."

Or has he already become the God King?

"Zhao Xing, your hometown is indeed extraordinary. No wonder someone as insignificant as Qing Yuzi could rise to such heights! Hahahaha!"

Wei Tianchen had always looked down on Qing Yuzi's ability to achieve the Free God Realm, believing it was merely a fluke! Now that he had also arrived, he looked down on Qing Yuzi even more.

With such a great opportunity before him, Qing Yuzi failed to seize it and even took such a huge risk to hitch a ride on the resurrection ceremony of the Dongyan Ancient Clan. He's utterly useless.

The Bamboo Sword Venerable also realized the great opportunity here. For someone of his level, the True Spirit Tribulation was originally a huge crisis, but here, there was no need to undergo the tribulation, and the True Spirit could still make a great leap forward.

Is the path to godhood that he has been searching for so painstakingly about going to be realized here?

Zhao Xing was not so optimistic. He always felt that there was something strange about the Tribulation-Free White Bone God Domain. The new changes in the Profound Yellow World were too great. If becoming a god was so simple, how strong must Yuan, who created the Tribulation-Free White Bone God Domain, be?

He questioned Bai Lanjun carefully and found that what he said was all hearsay; no one had ever actually seen the Divine Realm that came out of the Bone Netherworld.

They might just be tools and fuel for some big shots to prove their path!

"What about him?" Bamboo Sword Venerable pointed at Bai Lanjun.

"Now that we've found out, let's kill him," Wei Tianchen said calmly. "He has companions, doesn't he? If the sect behind him Divine Realm, killing them will save us trouble."

Bamboo Sword did not move, but looked at Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing was surprised that Bamboo Sword respected his opinion. "I think we should keep him. He can lead the way and is more familiar with the place. Moreover, he can use the fire array to teleport. He is a rare talent."

Although Bai Lanjun was unaware of their communication, he could roughly deduce from subtle gestures and fluctuations in the fire that the Bamboo Sword Venerable had only pulled the sword from Zhao Xing's skull after Zhao Xing finished speaking.

He then gratefully cupped his hands in thanks to Zhao Xing, saying, "Thank you for sparing me, senior. Otherwise, I would have had to be reborn in the Soul Merger. If I 'die' once, I will lose some of my memories."

In the White Bone Divine Domain, there is no such thing as death. Even if you die, you will be reborn from the soul, but you will lose your power and memories, depending on how many attacks you have suffered.

Next, Wei Tianchen and the Bamboo Sword Venerable discussed the matter and decided to give the Soul Crystal to Zhao Xing to absorb.

This is to verify whether what Bai Lanjun said is true.

After absorbing three hundred third-tier Soul Crystal, Zhao Xing actually underwent a transformation.

Name: Zhao Xing

Occupation: Agricultural Official

[Realm: Three Tribulation True Spirit (Primordial Beginning Sub-Soul, 96x Amplification)]

[Bone Structure: Star Dao Bone (3000/10000)]

[White Bone Power: Tier 3 (14/1000)]

"Except for the fact that my Internal World is still sealed, my magic power and a small portion of my spells have returned. However, the magic power flows within my bones, and the spells have also undergone corresponding adjustments." Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised that his true spirit had become so much stronger without undergoing a tribulation.

Could it be that one can truly achieve Divine Realm simply by absorbing Soul Crystal?

Wei Tianchen and Bamboo Sword were equally delighted, as they could clearly sense that Zhao Xing's true spirit had become stronger.

Since this method is feasible, they also have a chance to make a breakthrough here!

"Senior, you can no longer absorb higher-level fourth-tier Soul Crystal because your bone body needs to advance accordingly, and there are no fourth-tier Bone Spirit Stone here."

"The skeleton is like a container for the spark."

"Whether it's Daoist bones or Golden Body bones, you must obtain the corresponding bone structure first," Bai Lanjun said.

Zhao Xing asked in confusion, "My two subordinates both have true spirits that far surpass their physical bodies, and there's nothing wrong with them."

"Your two subordinates must have felt a strong suppression," Bai Lanjun said respectfully. "Their full strength cannot be unleashed."

"I see," Zhao Xing said, suddenly understanding.

Wei Tianchen and Bamboo Sword's current combat power is far inferior to when they had physical bodies, and the reason lies here.

"So, this desolate mountain area we've come to is the border between the Bone Netherworld and the Yang Realm?"

"Yes, that's the Forbidden Area Lianyin Mountain. You can only enter, but you can't leave," Bai Junlan said. "Going southeast means abandoning your physical body and voluntarily entering the Bone Netherworld." "To go back and return to the Yang Realm, you need the strength of the Divine Realm."

Zhao Xing: "The Divine Fire Sect sent you here, isn't that a one-way ticket, a one-way trip with no return?"

"Not entirely," Bai Lanjun said, pointing to the Fire Pond. "The Bone Netherworld has merged with the Yin Realm and possesses the characteristics of the Yin Realm."

"The sect leader can burn some things for us, and we can send some things back, but the cost is extremely high. Usually, we only send some messages back."

Looking at the leaping flames in the Fire Pond, Zhao Xing realized that the Divine Fire Sect was not simple. With the Divine Realm expert in charge, they were able to break some of the restrictions of the Tribulation-Free White Bone God Domain.

Just like the Great Emperor's Primal Chaos Dao Tower, it can prevent his Internal World from collapsing.

"So, the Bone God 'Yuan' shouldn't have reached the No Calamity Divine King realm yet," Zhao Xing thought to himself, having learned a great deal from Wei Tianchen.

Wei Tianchen looked down on Qing Yuzi, a so-called "Free God," but he highly praised the Tribulationless True God, especially the God King who had attained enlightenment through the path of Heaven and Earth Attainment. The value of such a God was far beyond what the so-called "Free God" could compare to.

Zhao Xing asked him to give a specific example, and this guy brought up the Qing Yuzi.

It is said that he was not afraid of Qing Yuzi, who had just become a god, even though he possessed the divine object. However, Tribulationless True God who Heaven and Earth Attainment could prevent him from unleashing the power of the divine object.

The Free God Freedom undergoes tribulation to pursue Wuji personal power, Tribulationless True God pursues commensurate origin with heaven and earth and to control the world.

The former could not restrain the power of his divine object, but the latter could.

The vast majority of divine objects are magical artifacts imbued with the aura of the Divine Realm, referring to Tribulationless True God, not Free God. This is because the aura of Free God does not leak outwards.

"Zhao Xing, let this skeleton lead the way." Wei Tianchen held up a map, which was contributed by Bai Junlan and made from the bones of some kind of giant beast.

"Where to?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Go do what they're doing." Wei Tianchen tapped the map and chuckled, "Flame Territory is controlled by a king named Luofu, and his White Bone Kingdom has many such tribal territories."

"Low-grade Soul Crystal are useless to me and the Bamboo Sword; only high-grade ones will work."

"If I could become Free God first, perhaps I could find a way to break free from Fan Qianrou's restrictions sooner, and our grudges could be settled sooner."

"Can one become Free God first?" Zhao Xing asked curiously.

"The Bamboo Sword won't work, but I can," Wei Tianchen said. "There are two paths: Heaven and Earth Attainment and True Self Attainment. Although there are strict restrictions, I have preserved my multiple incarnations. I can let my clones prove the Dao first and become Free God, while my true self completes the Heaven and Earth Attainment."

Zhao Xing secretly made a note of it, and he couldn't help but think of what he had done on the Annihilating Star Corridor and the Sea Passage Ancient Road.

If we say that Wei Tianchen's core of Heaven and Earth Attainment is to kill gods with poison and Returning the Dao to Heaven.

So, can solving the problem of the Layered World Mountain and reconstructing the Yin Yang Twin Stars Illusion of the Annihilating Star Corridor be considered a method for the Agricultural Official to Heaven and Earth Attainment?

"No wonder my Theory of Law is so highly regarded; even the Demigod of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity were willing to send several to rescue me." Zhao Xing now understood the true value of his Theory of Law.

The Bamboo Sword Venerable's cultivation does not seek externally, but only infinitely improves his control over the origin of the sword, which is the way a martial artist proves his path.

Wei Tianchen's core philosophy is to save the world, treating the Divine Realm as a parasite. Although somewhat absurd, it aligns with his path as a physician.

Is the Agricultural Official the one who solves the problem of the Desolate Territory environment as a condition for attaining enlightenment?

"I'm only at the Three Tribulation True Spirit, not even Demigod yet, I'm not qualified." Zhao Xing immediately stopped thinking about it. "I should focus on improving my True Spirit level first."

"Wei Tianchen and Bamboo Sword are going to sweep through the remaining life forms in the White Bone Divine Domain to obtain Soul Crystal and Bone Spirit Stone, which I also need."

He acted as a translator, instructing Bai Lanjun to lead them to another territory under the Demon Emperor Luofu to hunt down those skeletal creatures.

"Xiao Bai, we're going to commit robbery, where do you think would be a good place?"

Bai Lanjun: "Senior, my Fire Element Formation can only lead to ' Prostrate Bone Territory ' first. It's a gathering place with many powerful individuals, quite a few of whom possess high-level Soul Crystal. There are also those with innately powerful Dao bones and golden bones, but it's somewhat dangerous."

Zhao Xing laughed and said, "I'm not afraid of having many strong people, I'm afraid of having few strong people. Just lead the way. My subordinates are very capable. If there are any gains, you will definitely get your share."

Bai Lanjun had no choice but to agree. He pointed to the Fire Pond, and then his entire body turned bright red.

The flames then changed from red to a cold green, and suddenly grew stronger, creating a passage.

"Senior, this is the road to Prostrate Bone Territory."
