Chapter 794: Chapter 393: Qing Yi’s Reward, The Heavenly Destiny Stone (Part 4)
It was not that his talent was insufficient, but that his consciousness was too weak to bear the load.
Now, this scripture was essentially sealed within the Sea of Consciousness, and if Lu Yun wanted to comprehend it, he could only do so one character at a time.
The ‘Numeral’ Secret.
Several hours later, Lu Yun finally learned the name of the scripture, but that was all.
“In the future, I will fully comprehend this secret technique!” Lu Yun vowed in his heart, quietly sealing it away.
His power of consciousness was still not strong enough; merely comprehending three characters felt like he had fought several battles.
Then, he thought of the rainbow divine stone he had obtained before.
Could these two rainbow divine stones be the same kind of treasure?
After his consciousness nearly recovered, Lu Yun’s heart moved, and the rainbow divine stone appeared before him. He activated the Eyes of Aurora, observing it closely.
He discovered that there was indeed something inside the rainbow divine stone, but it was indistinct, shrouded in mist, hidden within the stone and difficult to see through, even the Eyes of Aurora couldn’t detect any clues.
However, he was certain that this rainbow divine stone was very similar to the one that had been merged before, even if not the same treasure, they definitely belonged to the same type of treasure, and there might even be some connection between the two.
The ‘Numeral’ Secret?
Lu Yun’s gaze landed on the rainbow divine stone before him, silently reciting the scripture he had learned before. Based on the knowledge he had accumulated during the three months in the Green Flame Palace, he still had no idea what kind of secret technique it was.
He sighed to himself. There were rumors of strange objects in the world that contained the inheritance left by True Gods or divine monarchs.
Could this rainbow divine stone be the inheritance of a True God or a divine monarch?
Such a thought kept germinating in his mind.
“If it is indeed so, the value of this scripture would definitely not be inferior to the method of the holy body!”
Lu Yun sighed inwardly and stored away the rainbow divine stone.
“As expected of the number one Heavenly Pride of the Green Flame Palace, to be able to maintain concentration for such a long time.” The disciples protecting his cultivation were quite restless in their hearts, and at the same time, their reverence for Lu Yun grew even more.
Two hours later, Lu Yun finally opened his eyes.
Looking at the Forbidden Tower, his eyes flickered. This trip to the Forbidden Tower had granted him tremendous gains.
Firstly, his mastery over various Divine Abilities had reached a state of transcendence.
Secondly, the Great Sun Anomaly had progressed to the second transformation, and it mutually verified with the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength.
Then, he entered the forbidden domain of gods and demons.
Last was acquiring a piece of the rainbow divine stone, which not only laid a Supreme Foundation for his Cave Heavens but also revealed some secrets.
Such gains were incomparable even to many tasks he could accomplish.
The only regret was that his strength seemed to have been exposed, and he had no idea why it was revealed.
Feeling the eager and adoring glances from around him, he found it somewhat challenging to adapt.
Using the sensation from the Eyes of Aurora, he sensed that among them, a few gazes contained a special intention.
Yes, it was as if they wanted to devour him whole.
Following the sensation, Lu Yun looked over and instantly saw the owners of those burning gazes. His scalp tingled, and after muttering a word of thanks, he used his Divine Ability to instantly flee the area.
He had a feeling that if he were a step slower, he would really have been ‘eaten.’
“Qing Yi senior, did you give that destiny divine stone to Lu Yun?” Ripples emerged in the Void, and a figure appeared— it was Tai Yuan’s pulse master Yan Shengming.
Qing Yi nodded gently, with a flash of long-dormant memories crossing her mind.
Years ago, when a secret realm of ancient times emerged, nine divine stones appeared, and the Patriarch of the Green Flame Palace fortunately obtained one. Alas, the news got out, and they were ambushed by a powerful enemy, suffering a severe blow.
Although they managed to break through and return to the Green Flame Palace, the dao injury affected their core and couldn’t be healed. After spending countless Heavenly Material Treasures, they left behind a legacy for a few hundred years, hastily concluding their affairs before passing away.
Before his end, the Patriarch of the Green Flame Palace entrusted the divine stone to Qing Yi.
In the last few hundred years of the Patriarch’s life, he made some gains. He lifted all the Prohibitions on it, discovering that it was a divine stone capable of concealing destiny, hence named it the destiny divine stone.
Beyond that, it seemed to hide an unparalleled inheritance within the consciousness.
Regrettably, feeling that his time was short, the Patriarch of the Green Flame Palace gave up on comprehending it and handed it over to his old companion, Qing Yi.
Before passing away, he instructed her to use it as one of the inherited treasures and award it to a particularly outstanding Heavenly Pride.
Qing Yi naturally accepted her old companion’s request without hesitation.
As the world churned and time passed, Qing Yi’s concept of time gradually became blurred. She rarely appeared before others, only revealing herself when the Green Flame Palace had such a particularly extraordinary Heavenly Pride.
This kind of special Heavenly Pride was someone who could pass through the sixteenth layer of the Forbidden Tower.
In nearly a million years, there were naturally not a few who had passed the sixteenth layer of the Forbidden Tower, and Qing Yi had thought about awarding the destiny divine stone.
However, existing for too long, she also wanted some amusement.
For example, letting those who passed through the sixteenth layer of the Forbidden Tower choose their treasures, including Divine Ability methods, Supreme secret techniques, or other Heavenly Material Treasures.
After the selection, she would randomly select a treasure, and whatever was chosen, was theirs.
When it came to Lu Yun, she grabbed at random and actually picked the destiny divine stone, so she simply slapped it into Lu Yun’s body.
She naturally couldn’t be bothered to explain all this to Tai Yuan’s pulse master.
Whether it was the current palace master of the Green Flame Palace or Tai Yuan’s pulse master, they were both juniors to Qing Yi.
As a senior and the most powerful existence within Qinghuo, she naturally would not explain these things.
“I hope you don’t let down this destiny divine stone!” After Tai Yuan’s pulse master left, Qing Yi murmured to herself, her expression somewhat complicated.
Compared to other treasures, the destiny divine stone held a particular significance to her.
Now that it had been given away, she naturally hoped that the destiny divine stone could play its due role, or even shine brilliantly.
Only in this way would it be a fitting tribute to the sacrifice of that old partner of yesteryear.
What she didn’t know was that the destiny divine stone had already merged with Lu Yun’s Cave Heavens, not only concealing his life’s fate but also allowing Lu Yun to glimpse some of its secrets.
Of course, neither Qing Yi nor Lu Yun knew that the destiny divine stone had another function, which was to grant an extra life to the one who merged it.
Perhaps, this was the truly heaven-defying aspect of the destiny divine stone.
