Kun Peng's Talisman Bone

Without a doubt, this bone was Kun Peng's Original Talisman Bone.

Boom!

As though sensing the arrival of an outsider, Kun Peng's talisman bone shone. A Kun Peng manifested, beating its wings across the nine heavens, its immense manifestation instantly filling the starry sky.

A vast, overwhelming pressure descended, placing even Yun Ying under tremendous strain.

She stood motionless, as straight as a sword. Her gaze seemed to become two heavenly swords, sword intent swirling and sword cries ringing out as she held Kun Peng's pressure at bay.

Soon, Kun Peng transformed into an enormous black fish, leaped into the chaos, and vanished. The vision dispersed, and everything returned to how it had been, the pressure disappearing as well.

Behind her, Heavenly Desolation trembled once more, but quickly fell still again.

With the Kun Peng vision gone, Yun Ying felt the tension leave her body. She approached Kun Peng's talisman bone, only discovering when she drew close that it had already cracked apart; its pieces had merely been fitted together.

This made it even clearer how savage a battle Kun Peng had endured back then-even its Original Talisman Bone had shattered.

"Senior, forgive Yun Ying's trespass!"

Yun Ying drew a light breath, then raised her hand and reached toward the talisman bone.

Just as Yun Ying's hand was about to touch Kun Peng's talisman bone, it shone, producing a golden curtain of light that barred her hand from approaching.

Yun Ying's hand paused, but she did not stop. Her purple eyes shone, sword intent erupted, and a razor-sharp aura burst from her hand. It seemed to transform into a divine sword, cleaving straight through the golden curtain of light.

The next instant, Yun Ying's hand touched Kun Peng's Original Talisman Bone. Endless runes, like the stars in the heavens, surged madly into Yun Xi's mind.

At the same time, the mysterious pattern on Yun Xi's back lit up again. Its purple-gold light shone even brighter than before, making her seem one with heaven and earth as she comprehended the runes on Kun Peng's talisman bone at the fastest possible speed.

By then, the commotion caused by the Kun Peng vision had drawn the people outside over, and they all charged inside.

The assembled experts sprinted relentlessly along the path, wishing they could sprout another pair of legs. However, even Yun Ying had taken quite some time to traverse this path; they certainly could not go any faster.

It took roughly a quarter of an hour before the assembled experts finally charged up to the foot of the altar.

"No! We're too late!"

When they saw the figure on the altar, their expressions changed drastically. They stared wide-eyed at Yun Ying. No wonder they had not seen her outside earlier-she had already come here.

They bitterly regretted letting the treasures outside capture their attention. Otherwise, how could they have let Yun Ying get ahead of them?

"Ying!" Yun Xi was beside herself with excitement. Yun Ying had indeed already made it inside.

The people of the Primordial Sacred Mountain were nearly mad with joy. If the Kun Peng Precious Technique fell into Yun Ying's hands, their Primordial Sacred Mountain would benefit from it, and they might even gain control of the Kun Peng Precious Technique themselves.

That was a precious technique of the Ten Fiends! The mere thought made their mouths water!

"Her again!"

Mo Shang, the Sea God Descendant, wore a dark expression. Without Yun Ying, hardly anyone here could pose a threat to him.

"That fat girl actually ran so fast. She isn't going to snatch the Kun Peng Precious Technique, is she?" Bear Child frowned as well. He desired the Kun Peng Precious Technique more than anyone.

If Yun Ying obtained it, there might be nothing left for him, and taking it from her would not be easy either.

"What is she doing?"

Some people grew curious, then used secret techniques to get a clear look at what Yun Ying was doing.

"She... she's holding Kun Peng's talisman bone! She's comprehending the Kun Peng Precious Technique!"

A middle-aged cultivator shrieked, sounding utterly furious, as though someone had stolen his own treasure.

What?!

"Stop her!"

At this, no one could remain still. They immediately charged toward the altar, murderous intent surging and eyes turning red.

"Block them! Don't let them disturb Yun Ying!"

The people from the Primordial Sacred Mountain desperately tried to intercept the crowd, but it was clearly difficult-there were simply too many people. Protecting themselves was no problem, but stopping everyone was plainly wishful thinking.

Almost as soon as the two sides clashed, many powerful experts broke through the Primordial Sacred Mountain's blockade and rushed straight up the stone steps.

The people of the Primordial Sacred Mountain were furious and anxious, but there was truly nothing they could do.

Boom!

Suddenly, a brilliant beam of light fell, blasting many people to pieces.

This sudden turn of events terrified the assembled experts. They jerked their heads up, only then discovering Heavenly Desolation and a whole array of other weapons laid out on the altar.

"That's... Kun Peng's weapon, Heavenly Desolation!"

Everyone cried out. They recognized Heavenly Desolation at a glance, their breathing thrown into disarray by shock.

It was one of the ten greatest weapons of the primordial era. Everyone stared at Heavenly Desolation with blazing eyes. Whether young experts or masters of the older generation, they all wanted this peerless divine weapon.

Even though Heavenly Desolation was now broken into three sections, their desires remained unchanged.

At that moment, Yun Ying awoke from her contemplation of Kun Peng's talisman bone. A peculiar look flashed through her eyes, for she had received a piece of information while comprehending it.

The legacy on this Kun Peng talisman bone contained less than a third of the whole; it was incomplete.

The true Kun Peng legacy-the complete Kun Peng Precious Technique-was naturally here as well, but one had to find it oneself. This, too, was part of the trial.

Yun Ying's eyes flickered a few times, as though she had understood something. She withdrew her hand, turned around, and walked out without looking at Kun Peng's talisman bone again.
