"I should have taken a weapon suitable for mining source ore from the Yao Guang Treasure Vault."
The spiritual weapons originating from the tomb of the Azure Emperor were given to the disciples of Yao Guang when he took office as the Holy Son, but it was still not enough, so he took many more from the treasury.
This small purple knife is the one that was left behind and never given away.
"We must retrieve the Azure Moon Holy Sword from the Great Yan Peak Master's hands; that holy sword is also extremely suitable for mining."
When Lü Yao finally managed to scrape off a small piece of the ore with a single, strenuous strike, the idea of using a sacred artifact to mine flashed through his mind.
"Swish—"
He used his knife to dig out the open source ore layer by layer. Some of the ore was the size of a fist, while some had turned into powder. He didn't waste any of it and collected it all.
With his cultivation level, if he were to return to the Yao Guang Holy Land, even if he didn't become the Holy Lord, he could definitely knock the Dragon Head Peak Master off his position and become the ruler of the Ruthless lineage.
Therefore, he realized early on that running a household was difficult, and he dared not waste a single source stone, hoping to take away the entire source mine.
Lu Yao was focused on mining and subconsciously used the "Yin-Yang Reversal" technique, but unexpectedly, he heard a faint cracking sound coming from the ore layer.
Upon looking at it, he saw that the foundation of the source stone had been shattered by the secret technique, and wisps of essence dissipated like smoke. In an instant, only gray and useless stone powder remained.
This sight frightened him so much that he immediately stopped what he was doing.
He dug very quickly, and soon broke through a layer of the source vein, revealing an entrance large enough for an adult to pass through.
He sheathed the purple sword and entered the source mine.
"Splash..."
A turbid yellow river surged through the mineral vein, where extreme death energy and yin energy gathered, and the eerie power of the underworld continuously eroded Lü Yao's body.
This power is extremely strange, all-pervasive, and can even penetrate into secret realms such as the Sea of Wheels and the Dao Palace.
Lu Yao frowned. In the Dao Palace Secret Realm, Heng Yu's illusory figure spewed out blazing fire essence. Instantly, divine fire rose from his body, and the Netherworld Qi was ignited, making a sizzling sound.
"tread--"
With his feet firmly planted on the Yellow Springs, Lü Yao floated on the river surface, rapidly approaching the distant divine source.
The narrow space above the Yellow Springs, the narrow space between the source and the Yellow Springs, was filled with light. The dense nether energy was ignited by the divine fire on his body and retreated, staying a foot away from him.
Lu Yao estimated that this vein was extremely large and long, and could not be contained by the first-level hall. It should run through the entire Immortal Hall. Perhaps Ye Fan was right above him at this moment, mingling with the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor.
He moved extremely fast and soon arrived in front of the stone coffin. At this time, the yin energy and death energy were so dense that it was difficult to see anything more than ten centimeters away with the naked eye. In the thick fog, the laws of the Dao and runes were faintly visible.
In particular, there is a strange crying sound in the Yellow Springs, as if countless wronged ghosts are buried there.
The divine fire on Lü Yao's body couldn't even leave his body by a centimeter. The fire law originating from the Hengyu illusory image was completely suppressed here.
"Yin and Yang reversed, all laws in disarray!" Lü Yao rebuked softly, and Yin and Yang energy suddenly appeared around his body, slowly rotating to form a domain.
The hazy mist instantly became unbalanced, its foundations disrupted, some growing darker, others emitting specks of golden light, with faint Dao patterns appearing to break...
Lu Yao approached the stone coffin, but when the secret technique was applied to the coffin, it failed.
"It looks like a stone coffin carved from ordinary stone, but the Yin and Yang are operating stably, and not a trace of divine power or Dao principles can penetrate it."
Lu Yao looked at the stone coffin, which was radiant and had no Dao patterns or runes. He couldn't even find the seam between the coffin lid and the body.
How do I open this?
Suddenly, Lü Yao's expression hardened. He noticed what appeared to be a mark on one corner of the stone coffin.
Without hesitation, Lü Yao held a golden bone fragment in his left hand and a small black cauldron the size of a human head appeared in his right hand.
As soon as the small cauldron appeared, the aura belonging to the Great Emperor surged through the mist near the stone coffin.
Suddenly, the entire stone coffin came into view.
He moved closer to one corner of the stone coffin, where the strange mark became clearer.
This is a strange, hexagonal disc-like mark, with each corner engraved with mysterious runes, as if expounding six great paths that transcend the mortal world... Its aura is completely different from that of the ancient times.
A thunderbolt struck Lü Yao's mind, making the hairs on his body stand on end and his blood rush.
Could this be the thing he knows about?
Chapter 130 Mysterious Blood
Could it be a mark left by the Wheel of Reincarnation?
Is it really just a coincidence?
The Reincarnation Immortal King once studied the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Perhaps a fragment of the Yellow Springs fell into the Primordial Ancient Mine, traversed the ages, and has been preserved to this day.
Lu Yao had many guesses in his mind.
Suddenly, he felt the bone fragments on his left hand begin to feel warm, and the stone coffin was slowly trembling, with countless black mists rising from the stone coffin out of thin air.
"Om-"
The tremors of the stone coffin enraged the entire Yellow Springs River, causing the spring water to splash and slam against the source mineral layer.
"Crench."
The stone coffin slowly opened a crack...
An even denser aura of death emanated from the crack, but due to the seal of the divine source, this black aura could not dissipate and slowly turned into drops of thick, ink-like liquid.
The deathly aura gathered into more and more droplets, eventually pooling into a small lake at the bottom of the coffin.
This was astonishing. Even through the divine source, Lu Yao could not clearly perceive the extreme yin energy and death energy, but just looking at it still made his heart tremble.
This thing is likely a creation of a Celestial King, and its level is too high for him to comprehend.
The golden bone fragment in his hand became increasingly mystical, as if it were no longer an inanimate object but had acquired its own consciousness. The contents of the stone coffin held an irresistible allure for it.
The feeling that Lü Yao had was as if its complete body was buried in a stone coffin.
Could this golden bone fragment still have a chance of survival? This thought startled Lü Yao.
If this golden bone fragment originated in the chaotic ancient times, and came from immortal beings or even immortal kings, is there still a sliver of a chance for its resurrection?
If the King of Six Paths of Reincarnation went to great lengths to bury it within the Six Paths of Reincarnation he created, does that mean the owner of this brow bone was once a Celestial King?
This conjecture was so astonishing, so astonishing, that Lü Yao dared not even consider it further. Could the beings of the chaotic ancient era truly have survived to the present day? Had they escaped the divine intervention that struck when the universe was formed...?
"Then let's open it and see." Lu Yao gritted his teeth and made up his mind. The ultimate power in this world is the Immortal level. The Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron should be able to protect him for a few breaths and allow him to escape.
With that thought, he focused his gaze, drew out a wisp of energy from the dragon-patterned black-gold cauldron, transformed it into a blade and axe, and fiercely cleaved towards the square-shaped divine source.
"Click..."
With a dull cracking sound, the divine source split open, with cracks spreading out in all directions. Then, the entire divine source turned into fist-sized fragments, which fell off piece by piece.
A dazzling divine light, mixed with a dense aura of death, burst forth and dissipated into the mineral vein. The black water formed by the death aura and yin energy also fell into the Yellow Springs Water, instantly turning the yellow river water into a hazy gray color.
Lu Yao used his divine power to capture pieces of divine source and collect these fragments. The essence and Dao contained within them were supreme divine objects for cultivation. Even if he didn't use them himself, they would fetch a good price when auctioned off.
The crack between the coffin lid and the coffin body still emitted thick black and deathly aura. Without hesitation, Lü Yao put his hands together and opened the coffin completely.
"Roar!"
He seemed to have opened a dark and hellish place, seemingly the true source of the cycle of reincarnation.
Mysterious laws intertwined within the coffin, and death energy, a thousand times more concentrated than before, swept through the void.
"This is..." Lu Yao saw that within the pitch-black death aura, there were actually wisps of multicolored light, brimming with vibrant life.
If that kind of vitality could be obtained by the eldest son whose lifespan was about to end, even a wisp of it could extend his life by hundreds of years.
"Yes, the death aura is so dense that it's almost like a realm for the dead. But from the extreme of death comes life, and a glimmer of life is born from the death aura."
Lü Yao had an epiphany, and this realization was extremely precious to him.
He stepped forward, using the dragon-patterned black and gold cauldron to dispel the thick, yin, and deathly aura, and looked into the coffin, assuming that it would be a world of its own.
But it wasn't the small world he imagined; it was an extremely narrow space.
What's strange is that the inner wall of the coffin is engraved with many mysterious runes, which are intertwined and form a mysterious area inside the coffin, about the size of a square inch.
This area is teeming with vibrant life, so lush it's almost blinding.
If the corrupt old cult leader or the old king were to see this wondrous place, they would absolutely go mad!
Even a sliver of life can slow down their aging process; if one were to lie in a coffin, one might be reborn into a second life!
"This method is too amazing. Could it really be a remnant of the Reincarnation Immortal King?"
It is unknown whether the Immortal King of Reincarnation ever foresaw, through the river of time, that the six realms below would become places lacking the substances for longevity.
Soon, amidst the rich, multicolored light, Lü Yao saw something that looked like a transparent crystal.
Within that crystal, however, was sealed a drop of blood, glowing crimson.
However, due to the crystal barrier, Lü Yao could not perceive any divine properties in it; it looked no different from ordinary human blood.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, the golden bone fragment suddenly flew out of his hand and was taken away by an invisible force.
The golden bone fragment broke through the boundless deathly aura and entered the area of vitality, where a rich life force quickly entered.
Lu Yao watched this scene quietly. So far, he had not felt any danger. Everything here, the Yellow Spring Water, the stone coffin, only looked dangerous. In reality, his Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron was of no use.
The withered, dull, and slightly cracked golden bone fragment, infused with powerful vitality and mysterious runes, actually began to show a hint of life and energy, as if it were something that had been dug out from between someone's eyebrows just yesterday, rather than something that was tens of millions of years old.
Seemingly dissatisfied with these signs of life, the golden bone fragment flickered, and the sound of it shattering reached Lü Yao's ears, like the trembling sound of exquisite porcelain before it was fired, unable to withstand the cold.
The transparent crystal cracked.
Instantly, a powerful and rich vitality emanated from the crystal, accompanied by an aura that was not of human origin.
That aura was lofty and majestic, as if the heavens were pressing down on you, making you feel suffocated.
At this moment, the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron also showed signs of movement under the stimulation of this energy. The energy belonging to the ancient emperor began to recover, and even though this was just the beginning, it was still extremely terrifying.
The Yellow Spring Water trembled, the Origin Ore shook, and under the influence of these two forces, this space began to become unstable, seemingly on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
Lu Yao kept communicating with the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, telling it not to revive. If it were to fully revive, it might destroy the drop of blood that was suspected to be left behind by an immortal being.
After all, this is not a complete, or even incomplete, immortal being; it is merely a drop of blood.
