Chapter 902 - 902 0854 Xuanqing Divine Stone

902: Chapter 0854: Xuanqing Divine Stone 902: Chapter 0854: Xuanqing Divine Stone Understanding was one thing, but for Dugu Jinglong to squander these two types of energies just like Lv Zhong did was simply out of the question.

Dugu Jinglong simply did not possess the vast Merit Golden Light or Power of Faith required for such extravagance!

Thus, even though he knew there was a way to enter that extremely cold palace, he was powerless to do so.

He could only stare helplessly as Lv Zhong drew closer and closer to the palace.

It wasn’t only him; the majority of those who entered also stepped out of their respective palaces and turned their attention to Lv Zhong.

…

Ignoring the attention from outsiders, Lv Zhong cautiously approached the palace that housed the [Nine Xuan Cold Dragon Ice Coffin].

100 meters!

50 meters!

…

10!

The closer he got to the palace, the colder it became.

At this moment, Lv Zhong was shocked to find that the Power of Faith summoned by the Insect Tribe’s Crown was being consumed furiously.

Even the Merit Golden Light released by the 6th Grade Golden Lotus was depleting at a terrifying speed.

Even with a substantial Space Energy Shield for protection, isolating the outside energies, Lv Zhong faintly felt as if his soul itself was at risk of being frozen.

This extreme cold seemed to possess the supreme might capable of blasting apart space!

Feeling his blood flow increasingly sluggish and his body starting to stiffen, Lv Zhong clenched his teeth and fully activated the [Fire] Great Path Pattern within his body.

Suddenly, rings of dazzling red light rippled out from within Lv Zhong, casting his entire skin in a blood-red hue.

However, as these rings of red light pulsated outward, they also brought a slight warmth to Lv Zhong’s body and mind, instantly dispelling seventy percent of the previous chill.

“Such a formidable [Nine Xuan Cold Dragon Ice Coffin]—”

Realizing that even after activating the [Fire] Great Path Pattern, only seventy percent of the cold penetrating the space shield provided by the Great Annihilation Pearl was weakened, Lv Zhong exclaimed in shock once more.

Only now did Lv Zhong truly comprehend the terror of the [Nine Xuan Cold Dragon Ice Coffin].

If it weren’t for the protection of the space shield from the Great Annihilation Pearl, even if Lv Zhong had the protection of the [Fire] Great Path Pattern, he might be instantaneously frozen, shattered, and annihilated.

“It seems that the [Ice] Great Tao Restraint of the [Nine Xuan Cold Dragon Ice Coffin] has been actively released.

Moreover, the level of the [Ice Path Restraint] being released could possibly be extremely high—” With this thought, Lv Zhong felt a bit disheartened.

Although the [Fire] Path had no fear of the [Ice] Path, the [Fire] Great Path Pattern within him was still too weak and simply no match for the Ice Path on the [Nine Xuan Cold Dragon Ice Coffin].

“Hmph, one day, every Great Path Pattern within my body will grow to its absolute limits—”

Mentally gritting his teeth, Lv Zhong exerted his full strength to allow the [Fire] Great Path Pattern to cooperate with the space energy shield from the Great Annihilation Pearl, resisting the extreme cold all around as he stepped closer and closer to the mysterious palace.

Standing on the palace steps, the chill ice around the center of the grand doors suddenly burst apart with a golden glow.

The three gleaming golden characters “Xuan Yin Hall” appeared before Lv Zhong’s eyes.

And as the proper name of the palace emerged, one could hear a “buzzing” sound, as the two grand doors slowly opened.

Unlike the splendor of gold and jade in the other palaces, this palace had “dark black” as its foundational color.

The floor was entirely made up of the virtually indestructible Xuanqing Divine Stone, which even the Immortal World rarely saw and only existed in the realms of Chaos legends.

Yet, unbelievably, the entire grand hall’s floor was paved with such divine stones.

“Damn, my goodness, all…

all Xuanqing Divine Stones…

tycoon…

a true peerless mega-tycoon!”

Lv Zhong stared wide-eyed, murmuring to himself in disbelief.

This time, even he couldn’t help but be utterly shaken by Primordial Dragon’s extravagant display.

Xuanqing Divine Stone was an energy crystal that far surpassed the top grade fairy crystal in energy, boasting both rigidity and flexibility.

Even top-level heavenly fire, heavenly thunder, or profound cold could not destroy it.

This energy stone only exists deep within the Chaos.

Legend has it, even Sages might not be safe in such a place.

The reason why Lv Zhong recognized the [Xuanqing Divine Stone] was that Plague God Lv Yue had once seen the Tongtian Sage display this item.

At that time, the Tongtian Sage had also explained its properties to his disciples and followers.

According to the Tongtian Sage, this item was an energy crystal used by Sage-level powerhouses for cultivation, a truly unparalleled treasure.

The value of a single [Xuanqing Divine Stone] was incomparable to even ten billion top-grade Immortal Crystals because it could refine the energy within a Sage’s body, transforming Sacred Power into Divine Power.

Even the Tongtian Sage once said that if someone obtained the [Xuanqing Divine Stone], he would exchange it for an Innate Supreme Treasure!

From this, one could see just how precious the [Xuanqing Divine Stone] really was.

Speaking of which, back then the Tongtian Sage seemed to lament ceaselessly, regretting that he was born eons too late.

Had he been born before the dawn of the universe, in the era of primordial Chaos, he could have encountered numerous [Xuanqing Divine Stones] by chance.

With a vast number of [Xuanqing Divine Stones] for support, he was confident he could surpass Hong Jun, the Taoist Ancestor, and become the first Sage in the Pangu Universe to ascend beyond the God Realm.

Although the Tongtian Sage only shared the information about the wondrous treasure of the [Xuanqing Divine Stone] due to an emotional attachment, he did not use his divine powers to erase the memories of his disciples and protect this secret.

Thus, Lv Yue had a deep memory of this matter.

Even with only a shred of his True Spirit Memory left, he didn’t forget the appearance of the [Xuanqing Divine Stone], allowing Lv Zhong to recognize the foundation of the palace floor tiles as well.

“Damn it, this is an extraordinary treasure that even Sages are extremely envious of; I really didn’t expect the Chaos Demon God Shilong to have collected so many.

He truly lives up to the name…”

Lv Zhong was so excited he couldn’t help but curse, and even his mental state of mind was greatly impacted by the [Xuanqing Divine Stone], becoming quite unstable.

“Huff…”

He took a deep breath, dispelling the turbulent thoughts from his mind, and his eyes once again became clear.

With clarity of thought, Lv Zhong suddenly realized something was off and couldn’t help but think to himself, “Strange, such a high-level item shouldn’t appear in Zone 1, and even the [Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin] shouldn’t be here either.

What could be Shilong’s intention?”

Not entering the [Xuan Yin Hall] straight away, Lv Zhong frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly slapped his head and exclaimed, “Haha, I see now, I’ve got it…”

Lv Zhong simply put himself in Shilong’s place for a moment and understood.

The reason Shilong placed the [Xuan Yin Hall] and [Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin] in Zone 1 was indeed the best protection for these places.

Because only those below the Profound Immortal level could enter Zone 1.

Generally speaking, those below Profound Immortal would hardly detect the existence inside the [Xuan Yin Hall] with their Immortal Sense, because the [Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin] could greatly harm the soul and even the Immortal Body of those below Profound Immortal level.

They could fall instantly if they got too close to the [Xuan Yin Hall].

Located in Zone 1, there was no need to worry about the secrets of the [Xuan Yin Hall] and [Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin] being exposed.

The second zone and up, the three zones, could only be entered by Profound Immortals.

Those above Profound Immortal, both in strength and knowledge, vastly surpassed Golden Immortals.

Thus, they might be able to withstand the extreme cold emanating from the [Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin] for a longer time, increasing the possibility of the [Xuan Yin Hall] and [Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin] being discovered.

If any Profound Immortal, Da Luo Golden Immortal, or even stronger beings who entered Zones 2, 3, and even 4 became aware of the vast amount of Xuanqing Divine Stones in the [Xuan Yin Hall] and eventually returned to the outer world, it could potentially incite relentless pursuit by countless Sages.

Though Shilong’s personal tomb space could self-destruct, it would be a loss if it failed to annihilate the intruding Sages.

Therefore, the placement of the Xuan Yin Hall containing the [Xuanqing Divine Stones] and the [Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin] in Zone 1 was indeed a calculated move.

However, Shilong could never have predicted that someone like Lv Zhong, an anomaly, would barge into Zone 1.

Having understood Shilong’s intentions, Lv Zhong hesitated.

“Damn it, if I take away the [Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin], then the [Xuan Yin Hall] will lose the protection of the extreme cold restraint, and even the strongest peak Golden Immortals will be able to discover the secret of the massive Xuanqing Divine Stones hidden inside.

If the Primordial Dragon Soul finds out, will it let me leave this space safely?”

After some thoughtful deduction, Lv Zhong shook his head with a bitter smile.

He believed that if he took the treasures from the other palaces, he might still leave the Hongmeng Dragon Tomb.

But if he took away the [Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin], it would likely incite the immeasurable wrath of the Primordial Dragon Soul, preventing him from leaving the [Hongmeng Dragon Tomb] safely, or even leading to his direct death.

Unless, Lv Zhong hid forever within the [Great Annihilation Pearl] and never ventured out again.

At that moment, Lv Zhong was suddenly startled, remembering the ancestor of the Qilin Clan he had met on the periphery of the Dragon Tomb, and his face turned pale.

“Was that mysterious shadow clone truly the Qilin ancestor?

Why did it know about the [Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin] inside this [Hongmeng Dragon Tomb]?”

Thinking it over, Lv Zhong broke out in a cold sweat, deeply alarmed, “Could it be that the true intention of the Qilin Clan ancestor wasn’t the [Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin], but rather the Xuanqing Divine Stones guarded by it?”

The previous mysterious shadow had earned Lv Zhong’s trust quite easily, even in advance, granting him a [Xutu Sacred Beast Flag] as a pre-paid reward.

But the more it was so, the more Lv Zhong, with a hint of malice, contemplated now after the fact.

After all, the [Xuanqing Divine Stone] was of monumental importance.

It was a supreme gemstone that even Sages would go mad for.

If Lv Zhong had not recognized the [Xuanqing Divine Stone], once he took away the [Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin], the [Xuanqing Divine Stone] would instantly be exposed.

“I wondered why that person insisted on having me take away the [Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin], turns out what he really cared about was the sea of [Xuanqing Divine Stones] collected by Shilong!”

At this moment, Lv Zhong suddenly understood a lot.

Having grasped the intentions of the Qilin ancestor, Lv Zhong wore a solemn expression, unsure of what to do next.
