Tao Qingyang also put away his emotions, smiled, and said, “Indeed, the strange meteorite I obtained became increasingly active after I arrived on the Tianyuan Continent. It guided and urged me to head towards the Burial Saint Cave.”
“I, who originally didn’t care much about the Tianyuan Continent, naturally entered this Burial Saint Cave. But I never expected that this place would become my place of demise!”
Place of demise?
Has Tao Qingyang already died?
Tao Qingyang looked at Ye Wushuang and said with a bitter smile, “Irony, isn’t it? A Sage, dying in a forbidden area of this remote continent. Even I find it hard to believe.”
Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but say, “The Burial Saint Cave is vast and its interior is indeed full of mysteries.”
“I was curious when I saw the predecessors like Hei Ya and Xiao Ziyin earlier.”
“A Sage perishing inside might be understandable, but several of them… that’s really eerie.”
Tao Qingyang smiled, took a sip of tea, and then said, “We all underestimated this place.”
“The meteorite I obtained is, in fact, only a part of a larger meteorite. When I discovered the complete piece, I was both shocked and delighted.”
“You must understand, a fragment of the meteorite is already of great benefit to me as a Sage. Just imagine the effects and immeasurable value of the entire meteorite.”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang nodded.
“At first, I only intended to take the complete meteorite away, but who would have thought that the place was so mysterious? Even I, a Sage, was trapped there, unable to extricate myself, and ultimately died there!”
Tao Qingyang sighed at this point, his face filled with desolation.
Ye Wushuang could more or less understand how he felt.
After all…
It was like a warrior in the Condensation Meridian realm showing off to a farmer, only to accidentally be killed by the farmer’s rake. Where could one seek justice for that?
Of course.
For Tao Qingyang, his death in the Burial Saint Cave was not only due to his overconfidence but also because of the mysterious and eerie nature of the cave itself.
“Can you tell me where that place is?” Ye Wushuang asked.
“Do you want to go?”
Tao Qingyang looked at Ye Wushuang, laughed, and said, “However, if you go, you might actually have some chances.”
“Huh?”
“That place exerts an extremely strong suppression on us Sages, and even those at the Sage Heavenly Realm level. It’s easy for us to perish there. It’s the heavenly rules bullying us!”
“But for warriors at the Star-Picking and Self-Forgetting realms, it should be difficult to attract the targeting of the heavenly rules. Of course, even without the suppression and bullying of the rules, the place is fraught with dangers. If you go in, the risks… are still great!”
“So… where is it?”
“The Burial Saint Cave, Fanzhuan Ridge!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang was taken aback.
As expected!
It really is this place!
In the past, when Ye Wushuang was a Spiritual Sage, he had entered and exited the Burial Saint Cave several times. At that time, he was only at the Sage Heavenly Realm level and not yet a Sage, so there were many mysteries within the cave that he had not fully explored.
Fanzhuan Ridge was one of them.
Moreover, earlier in another secret place, he had encountered the Sage Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan said that he had been trapped for eight thousand years and was still alive, but perhaps he was close to death.
And Zhou Yuan was also in Fanzhuan Ridge.
So it seems that the root of all problems lies in the Fanzhuan Ridge area.
“Do you know about that place?”
Seeing that Ye Wushuang was not surprised, Tao Qingyang asked curiously.
“I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never been there.”
After thinking for a moment, Tao Qingyang said, “If you want to go, it’s not impossible, but the danger is too high. I don’t recommend it.”
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “On the path of martial arts, what is ever simple?”
Hearing this, Tao Qingyang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, “You’re right.”
“Since that’s the case, this piece of jade, I’ll give it to you. Maybe you’ll find it useful!”
With that, Tao Qingyang took out a piece of jade.
The jade looked like an oval pebble, but its surface was black and shone with a unique luster.
As soon as Ye Wushuang took the jade in his hand, his mind was immediately shaken.
A feeling of extreme comfort slowly flowed through him.
In that instant, Ye Wushuang clearly felt that his spirit and energy seemed to be washed by the spirit of the universe, exuding a sense of relaxation and joy.
Moreover, his consciousness was clearer than ever before.
“Indeed, this is a good thing!”
Looking at the black jade, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but exclaim, “This jade… according to what you said, there is a large piece of it?”
“Hmm…”
Holding the jade in his hand, Ye Wushuang was quite excited.
This black jade was not some precious jade or strange stone.
It was blood!
And it was the blood of an immortal!
Seeing Ye Wushuang’s excitement, Tao Qingyang couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Do you know what the essence of this jade is?”
After thinking for a moment, Ye Wushuang decided to tell Tao Qingyang.
After all, Tao Qingyang was generous enough to give him the jade!
“Condensed from the blood of an immortal,” Ye Wushuang said firmly.
Immortal… blood?
Upon hearing this, Tao Qingyang looked at Ye Wushuang, stunned and speechless for a moment.
“Does the world really have immortals?”
“Of course!” Ye Wushuang replied with great certainty.
Tao Qingyang said with a bitter smile, “But how could the blood of an immortal be like this? And how could it end up on the Tianxuan Continent?”
“Who can say for sure?” Ye Wushuang replied, “However, I can be certain that this is condensed from the blood of an immortal. Moreover, this is not the original blood of an immortal; it has been diluted many times. But the faint immortal rule contained within it is indelible.”
This was certainly not the true essence blood of an immortal. Otherwise, even if the essence blood had turned into jade, it would not be something a Sage could control.
This blood had been diluted many times and mixed with other minerals, which is why it took on the appearance of black jade.
Immortals exist in the Immortal Realm.
For warriors on the myriad continents, the Immortal Realm is intangible and elusive.
Most of the time, immortals only exist in legends.
For mortals, even Sages, the concept of immortals is vague at best.
Ye Wushuang, of course, knew that immortals truly existed!
So it seems that the Burial Saint Cave’s Fanzhuan Ridge truly holds unpredictable and earth-shattering changes.
For a moment, Ye Wushuang felt an infinite sense of anticipation rising in his heart…
No matter what, he must go and see for himself!
At this moment, Tao Qingyang felt that Ye Wushuang was becoming more and more inscrutable to him.
Clearly just at the Self-Forgetting realm, and so young, yet many of his insights were beyond even what a Sage like him could match.
At this moment, Ye Wushuang stood up, bowed, and said, “Thank you, senior, for the gift of jade. If I can survive in Fanzhuan Ridge, I will do my utmost to find your remains and bring you back to your homeland for burial.”
Upon hearing this, Tao Qingyang’s usually relaxed and carefree expression trembled slightly.
