Chapter 239: Chapter 128 Displaying Divine Skills, The Past Events of Western Capital_2

Li Xiaozheng said, "It will inevitably be broken. This is a spell from the Xu Family, called the Cloud Dream Great Method, cast by Xu Changsheng, a well-known elder of the Xu Family. The sacrificial copper mirror, called the Cave Void Mirror, owned by the Zhang Family of the Western Capital, can, once set, allow one to walk in void space, immune to all forces, unaffected by any object."

Apart from the Xu and Zhang families, other families like Yang, Gao, Cui, Fei, Zhai, and Yan also employed various methods, using all sorts of treasures to protect their experts as they entered the Treasure Ship to explore its mysteries.

Even several experts from the Li Family had come aboard the Treasure Ship.

Li Xiaozheng introduced one by one, these families all had experts in the Divine Descent Realm and even the Void Refinement Realm sitting in authority, clearly demonstrating their determination to secure the Treasure Ship!

The closest to the stone ship were the two elders from the Xia Family, who had already built a simple altar at the edge of the ship, featuring a Sun and Moon Altar in the middle, with a suit of golden armor hanging in front, an incense burner filled with incense sticks in front of the armor.

To the left was a Sword Platform, enshrining a glittering precious sword, and to the right was a Water Platform, enshrining the water from a hundred families.

On either side of the Water Platform and Sword Platform, the Beidou Seven Stars Stone was honored.

In front of the Sun and Moon Altar was a supply platform offering scented candles and fruits, with four black flags inserted.

The two elders bowed and worshipped in front of the supply platform, uttering words as if conducting a ritual.

Suddenly, the light fluctuated on the Sun and Moon Altar, and bursts of light surged outward, dazzling like numerous suns, making it difficult to see. Chen Shi immediately felt an unimaginable divine power descending upon the altar from nowhere!

When the light finally diminished, he could see an approximately six-meter-tall divine figure appearing on the altar, looking to be in his forties, robust and imposing. Even from a great distance, the pressure it exerted on Chen Shi was far stronger than that from Li Xiaozheng!

"Xiao Wangsun, someone like Granny Sha! Much more formidable than little Jin!"

He felt awed inside. Xiao Wangsun and Granny Sha were still among the living, whereas the divine figure on the altar should be a Primordial Spirit; its physical body long gone, but worshipped as a divine entity by the Xia Family.

Such divine beings, formed from the cultivation of ancestral Primordial Spirits, were called Ancestor Gods.

Just a Primordial Spirit alone, capable of equating with mighty beings like Xiao Wangsun and Granny Sha, demonstrated how powerful it must have been during its lifetime!

Li Xiaozheng whispered, "That is one of the Xia Family ancestors, named Xia Zhenggong. He wasn’t this powerful during his lifetime, only reaching the Unification Realm. After his death, with thousands of years of incense offerings, he cultivated such formidable mana."

"Huff—"

The golden armor in front of the Sun and Moon Altar flew up and automatically fitted itself onto Xia Zhenggong, perfectly arrayed. The four black flags on the supply platform flew up, swiftly inserting themselves behind him. The precious sword from the Left Sword Platform flew into his hand, and a jade bowl also moved in front of him.

Xia Zhenggong drank the water from a hundred families and astonishingly regenerated flesh, gradually restoring his corporeal body and stepped down from the Sun and Moon Altar.

Such secret techniques amazed Chen Shi.

Although his grandfather had taught him many talismans, there were various complex spells within the world, and large clans often held some unknown secret techniques, like enabling an ancestor god to grow a physical body—something he had never seen before.

"This kind of corporeal body is refined from the essence of the common people and cannot last long."

Li Tianqing, familiar with various texts and with a strong memory, said, "The key lies in that bowl of water from a hundred families. Someone needs to carry an empty bowl and request water from different households, only a drop from each, until the bowl is full. This water encompasses the essence of a hundred families, and once that essence disperses, Xia Zhenggong’s physical body will also disperse."

Once Xia Zhenggong possessed a physical body, his mana surged mightily, protecting all the Xia Family members and directly boarding the stone ship.

Having observed for so long, Chen Shi felt that Xia Zhenggong’s strength was the most formidable.

Just then, a horrifying surge of mana emanated from within the stone ship, unleashing an aura even more terrifying than Xia Zhenggong!

"Boom!"

It seemed as if supremely mighty beings were clashing inside the ship; the dozen Zhang Family experts who had raised the Cave Void Copper Mirror suddenly simultaneously vomited blood, their energy drastically declining as that terrifying mana fluctuation, transmitted through the mirror’s light, nearly caused the mirror’s light to shatter!

When this fluctuation reached where Chen Shi and others were, Chen Shi felt his Golden Core intensely pulsate once, nearly breaking apart, his Qi-Blood churning violently, nearly rushing into his brain!

He quickly hid his Golden Core inside the Zhuling Palace to prevent it from being shattered, while also activating the small dates in the temple to subdue his turbulent Qi-Blood.

Only when his Qi-Blood had calmed down did he have time to look toward Li Tianqing, only to see Li Xiaozheng standing behind Li Tianqing, helping him suppress his Qi-Blood and stabilize his Golden Core.

Chen Shi looked at the Black Pot, which was intact, and he finally felt reassured.

He was doubtful and uncertain, for the terrifying aura was too formidable—definitely the strongest presence among the masters he had ever felt!

"This is the talisman array left by your grandfather."

Li Xiaozheng whispered, "It seems someone has already found the Stone Ji’s Head, triggering the talisman array left by your grandfather."

Chen Shi was somewhat astonished. Was his grandfather really that powerful?

The old man had laid out the array ten years ago, and it possessed such power?

He found it hard to associate the person who had set up the talisman array—which blocked the peerless experts of the Thirteen Families—with his frail grandfather.

Li Xiaozheng, with his hands behind his back, looked at the stone ship with a smile that was not quite a smile and said, "These families are ignorant of the true extent of heaven and earth. They temporarily haven’t realized that the talisman array is the work of the West Capital Butcher, heh, after all, the great massacre was ten years ago, long enough for many people to forget many things. This talisman array will definitely remind them of a lot."

Chen Shi asked, "Was my grandfather really that formidable?"

Recalling the massacre in West Capital, Li Xiaozheng’s face turned somewhat pale, and he chuckled, "Formidable? When I was over thirty, yet under forty years old, my cultivation had also reached the Divinity Transformation Realm, achieving the Primordial Spirit. When your grandfather came to West Capital, I was on official duty there and felt the oppression of his Primordial Spirit, which scared the soul out of me. I fled from West Capital, thinking I would run as far away as possible and definitely not encounter this god of death. Heh, I had just run out of the city when I heard thunder in the sky, and then... the head of a Li Family elder fell from the sky..."

Fear was visible in his eyes; even after ten years, whenever he thought of that scene, he still felt a deep terror and despair.

Outside the city, there were loud rumbles, streaks of light accompanied by shocking thunder hammered towards the sky—that was the Three Camps’ artillery, carrying the nine heavens thunder, bombarding the West Capital Butcher.

That night, the Three Camps were crippled, and the Cabinet suffered heavy casualties.

"At the time, many big families fled with me. Usually, they were all people of generosity and sorrow, and among them were experts whose realms were higher than mine, but they too fled. Just then, a trail of fire swept past..."

He shivered.

In front of him, a trail of fire passed by.

After the fire went out, he saw countless charred bodies.

He was just one step away from stepping into the fire and was lucky to have escaped with his life!

"Fortunately, the West Capital Butcher later focused on rescuing his grandson and didn’t cause any more trouble. Fortunately..." he silently thought.

Suddenly, there was another loud boom, like a spring thunder exploding in his mind, and Xu Changsheng from the Xu Family was awakened from a great dream by the thunder!

After he woke up, he immediately realized something was wrong. His dream had been shattered by the thunder, and the clouds formed from his dream also dispersed, making it very likely that the Xu Family’s experts would soon land on the boat!

"Descendants of the Xu Family, retreat quickly!"

Xu Changsheng shouted and soared into the sky, fleeing swiftly.

The group of Xu Family experts protecting him also scattered and ran, speeding away.

On the stone ship, many people were desperately rushing outward, while those guarding outside the stone ship didn’t care about their own people aboard and turned to escape.

A strange power erupted from the center of the stone ship in all directions, vibrant greenery rapidly extended, and suddenly a thunderous water sound came from the otherwise dry riverbed—the rushing water of the De River attacked, following the expanding Ghost God Domain, devouring everything along its path!

The huge fish bones on the riverbed came into contact with the Ghost God Domain for an instant and once again radiated astonishing vitality, growing flesh and happily swimming in the river waters.

"De River has appeared! Mr. Li, let’s go!"

Chen Shi leaped up, not fleeing outward but rushing towards the stone ship instead, shouting, "Get on board, resolve the stone ship’s domain!"
