Chapter 88 The Object in the Stone

"Clap."

With a crisp sound, the strange stone that was about to escape suddenly fell to the ground, covered with countless lines, like a cocoon wrapped in silvery-white silk threads.

Unfortunately, this strange stone was not behaving itself. It was tightly wrapped in Dao patterns and was trembling violently, as if it were alive.

"Goodness, it's quite stubborn!" Qi Zhe exclaimed, then picked up the strange stone from the ground and held it firmly in his palm.

At this moment, his divine power firmly locked the strange stone, preventing it from breaking through the Dao patterns and making it completely unable to escape.

Qi Zhe breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and holding one side of the strange stone, he prepared to see what secrets it held, his eyes beginning to gleam with a faint silver light.

"chichichi"

Qi Zhe's Heavenly Eye seemed to have penetrated the Source Stone, but unfortunately, he couldn't see very clearly. He could only vaguely see something inside, but he wasn't sure what it was.

"Strange," Qi Zhe muttered, not surprised at all, knowing that source stones were extremely special, their outer layer preventing cultivators from seeing through them.

Not to mention that his Heavenly Eye is not yet fully developed, even those living fossils who possess the Heavenly Eye would have to examine it carefully if they wanted to see through the source stone.

Otherwise, the Source Master wouldn't be so feared. Once the Source Heavenly Sense is activated, it can directly see through all source stones, causing the holy lands to turn pale.

"whoosh"

Just as Qi Zhe held the strange stone in his hand, a fat figure emerged from the hazy mist formed by the power of the five elements in the distant Five Elements Mountain.

As soon as Duan Degang emerged, he sensed Qi Zhe's location and hurriedly shouted at him, "Kid, get out of here! All the experts from the Five Elements Palace have come out!!!"

Qi Zhe was also startled by the commotion he made when he rushed out. He sensed it for a moment and found that it seemed that countless cultivators were rushing out of the Five Elements Mountain.

"Wow, how many ancient tombs have you dug up?" Qi Zhe exclaimed, and quickly summoned a piece of black jade altar to cross the void.

Although Qi Zhe possessed an imperial weapon, this was the Five Elements Palace's mountain gate. Given the foundation of a major sect in the Northern Region, it was hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be any remaining secrets.

This is something he doesn't want to face. If it attracts the old guy's attention, whether he can defeat him is still unknown. Even Qi Zhe can't guarantee it.

Duan De had already arrived at his side, and upon hearing this, he excitedly winked and said with a beaming smile:
"I dug up a total of thirty-seven ancient tombs, all left by the leaders and elders of the Five Elements Palace throughout the ages. One of them was even a king who roamed the Eastern Wilderness seven thousand years ago!"

As Duan De spoke, a deafening battle cry rang out from within the Five Elements Mountain, and even the roar of the Five Elements Palace Master could be heard.

"That damned, immoral Taoist priest! If I don't tear you apart today, how can my Five Elements Palace have the face to stand in the Eastern Wilderness?!"

Upon hearing this roar, Qi Zhe immediately led Duan De across the void to a distance of tens of thousands of miles, and without stopping, they traveled directly for 250,000 miles.

Then the two stopped and prepared to take stock of what they had gained.

The powerful figures of the Five Elements Palace had already lost track of the target after traversing the void multiple times, and could only return to their sect with a heart full of resentment, preparing to take stock of their losses.

Night had fallen, and Qi Zhe and Duan De set up a sheepskin tent in the desert and began to take stock of powerful weapons under the moonlight.

"The Five Elements Sun and Moon Golden Wheel, the weapon of the Five Elements Master from seven thousand years ago, is so interwoven with the Dao and reason that it is almost divine, and it is only one step away from becoming a sacred weapon!"

Duan De was excited, holding a crescent-shaped golden wheel with a bladed edge, looking fascinated. This weapon was unparalleled and comparable to the old cultivator's Yao Guang Sword.

"It is indeed a divine weapon, forged from divine iron, and is capable of lasting for twenty to thirty thousand years without decaying."

Qi Zhe stepped forward and flicked the wheel, hearing it make a crisp 'ding' sound, and couldn't help but show an envious expression.

It's no wonder the Five Elements Palace went to such lengths. With Duan De stealing the weapon of a Great Completion King, no major power would let him off so easily. Besides, Duan De also stole over thirty other powerful weapons, each imbued with varying degrees of Dao and reason, and crafted from different materials.

However, there is no doubt that these are all treasures, and if they are placed in the auction house of the Northern Holy City, they will surely cause a frenzy of bidding.

Each one is incredibly valuable, costing at least two or three hundred thousand Pure Sources, almost the same as some Divine Sources.

Duan De held the Five Elements Sun and Moon Golden Wheel and stroked it for a long time before finally looking up at Qi Zhe and saying:
"The harvest from just one trip is so enormous. If I were to visit the other major sects, I reckon even my socks would be made of divine artifacts!"

Duan De already showed a look of longing. He really liked the feeling of being covered in divine objects, which made Qi Zhe's lips twitch.

He joked, "Taoist priest! Don't you know that you shouldn't flaunt your wealth? Otherwise, one day someone might hit you from behind with a club or a brick in the face, and your joy could turn to sorrow!"

Duan De rolled his eyes upon hearing this. He thought to himself that he had been traveling in the Eastern Wilderness for many years and had never been ambushed before, so he didn't take Qi Zhe's words seriously at all.

He ignored Qi Zhe and directly pulled out a sharp sword that shone with a blue light from his sea of ​​consciousness, took out the lid of the magic jar, and began to feed the creature.

Qi Zhe watched Duan De's actions, grinned, sat down, stretched his legs slightly, and said, "Master Duan, I found a source stone by chance while I was waiting for you earlier. You are knowledgeable, could you take a look at it for me?"

At this moment, Qi Zhe also took out the Stone King that had been sealed by the Dao patterns.

"Tch, who do you think you are? You think you can find treasure in a random rock?" Duan De looked up and spoke with disdain, but his expression changed drastically after glancing at the source stone.

This is indeed a rather peculiar stone, with an extremely strange shape. It has four holes on it that seem to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and strange power flows beneath its surface. If it weren't sealed, it would surely be extraordinary.

Duan De immediately noticed that there was a creature sealed inside the source stone, and those four holes were probably left by the creature absorbing external essence.

"Did you really pick this stone? It looks like you dug it out of the ground to me." Duan De stared at Qi Zhe with a strange expression and a suspicious look.

Qi Zhe smiled upon hearing this, revealing a set of bright white teeth. With a mysterious smile, he whispered:
"Of course I picked it up, but it escaped from the Five Elements Palace disciples. I intercepted it just as it was about to flee."

Upon hearing this, Duan De was also full of surprise, thinking that this kid had some kind of incredible luck. The immortal gold fell at his feet, and the strange stone tried to escape but was intercepted by him.

However, he didn't have much knowledge about rare stones. Looking at the source stone in Qi Zhe's hand, he thought for a moment and said, "I don't know much about rare stones, but you can open it directly."

"What's inside is obvious at a glance!"

Qi Zhe thought about it and agreed. He had originally wanted to keep the stone for a while, but there was no point in keeping it, so he decided to just leave it.

“That’s true.” As Qi Zhe spoke, he pulled out a small knife and began to cut into the source stone, the black outer layer of stone peeling off continuously in his hand.

"Susu."

The sound of the stone peeling off was very clear at night. Qi Zhe focused intently and soon peeled off the outer shell of the source stone, revealing a dazzling source stone that was glowing.

"Hiss!" Duan De gasped in surprise as the source material emerged from the stone, exclaiming, "This is a divine source!"

The divine source carried a sacred aura; just one breath was enough to make one feel completely comfortable. However, Qi Zhe's expression was quite solemn at this moment.

Duan De was far away, and a section of the stone skin had not been completely peeled off, so he only saw the dazzling divine source.

But he was too close and clearly saw a pool of flesh and blood sealed within the divine source, with a small, thin body beside it.

"I saw a mangled, bloody corpse, but there was something else next to it, only the size of a rat. Hmm, it really looked like a rat."
