Perfect Double Agent

"I never said I was saving you, I want the holy medicine!"

"Of course, of course." The bearded man nodded, looking extremely honest. He wiped his hands on his clothes, then took out a six-leaf ash grass with a regretful expression and sent it over from a distance.

"Soul-Nourishing Grass?" Bai Ye was surprised, but didn't show much emotion. The medicinal power of this grass had just entered the ranks of sacred medicines.

However, the medicinal effects of this herb increase every ten thousand years, and it is of great benefit to the primordial spirit.

"There is a lot of this kind of grass in the Plains of Corpses, but most of them are guarded by powerful undead creatures and are difficult to approach."

"Is that so?" Bai Ye glanced at the seemingly honest man and didn't say much. In this world where you can kill me or I can come and kill you, the more honest a person is, the more dangerous they often are.

Especially those who handed over the sacred medicine so easily.

"This is exhilarating! I feel like I'm about to advance to the next level!"

Taurus arrived, carrying a half-dead bandit, and leaped over.

"It would be best to break through to the extreme realm, endure and unleash your power." Bai Ye reached out and placed his hand on the bandit's brow, directly searching his soul.

To his surprise, this person had entered the area yesterday and had visited many other places.

"Plains of Corpses...Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons..."

“Actually, in the deepest part of the Corpse Plain, there is a forbidden area… I once saw a powerful divine fire expert shout something about a soul power seed before he died…” The bearded man gritted his teeth and revealed a piece of news that shocked both of them.

"A Soul Power Seed?! There's actually such a thing!" Taurus exclaimed in surprise.

Yes, those undead were abnormal to begin with. If a powerful being dies and gives birth to a primordial spirit fire, it would be normal for it to survive in a special place. But it is truly strange that those who are only at the Venerable level can survive.

Perhaps it was conceived by an extremely powerful undead spirit using a precious seed of soul power.

However, this method of spawning has a flaw: the creatures cannot survive for long and need to have their soul power replenished periodically.

“Supreme-level seed…” Bai Ye looked up, his gaze fixed on the depths of the Corpse Plain.

Generally speaking, treasures are divided into three levels. The first level includes World Tree seedlings, Cosmic embryos, and Myriad Path Trees.

The second tier includes things like the Great Crimson Heavenly Fire, Heavenly Flame, and Azure Moon Flame, also known as the True Immortal level.

The third tier consists of seeds like Soul Power Seeds and Blood Path Seeds, which, after fusion, hold the potential to become Supreme.

But no matter which one, they are all very precious, and even the cult leader would fight tooth and nail for them.

"Really?"

Chapter 105 Underworld Fire?

Deep within the Plain of Bones.

Countless white bones piled together, connecting heaven and earth, towering into the clouds, like a huge mountain formed by several mountain ranges winding together, its imposing and terrifying presence terrifying.

But at this moment, vast energy fluctuations frequently emanated from above it, like suns exploding one after another, accompanied by surging divine energy, making it impossible to look directly at it.

It was an old man in blue robes, holding a jade ruler, battling a skeletal creature that resembled a beautifully carved piece of jade.

"It's the Heavenly God of the Thousand Feather Clan! He actually came here too!" On a bone mountain thousands of miles away, three figures stood silently, watching the great battle in the sky from afar, their hearts filled with indescribable emotions.

The skeletal creature was powerful, with a vast and mighty soul fire surging from its eye sockets, and a green light flickering between its brows, like a seed rising and falling, or like a third eye opening and closing.

But its power is undeniable. With a wave of its hand, it cleaved the heavens and earth with its blade, a white light spreading out layer upon layer, as if it wanted to cut down all living beings. It was actually suppressing the Thousand Feather Clan's gods.

"Have you noticed that the mountain looks a lot like a big tomb?" the bearded man suddenly whispered, his eyes bright and alert.

The towering, bone-covered mountain, tens of thousands of feet high, was so similar in shape to the great tomb, like a grave made of countless bones, eerily silent. Even the aftershocks of the great battle between the gods failed to damage it in the slightest.

"It's not just a resemblance, it's an absolutely ominous place!" Bai Ye murmured to himself. So many skeletons piled together clearly indicated that a supreme being was trying to defy fate and turn death into life.

Such beings are at least at the Supreme level; even a wisp of their aura could kill them a hundred times over.

"Should we sneak in and take a look?" Taurus asked Bai Ye.

"It's not impossible. The soul seed is on that skull. Without the cult leader, it would be difficult to remove. Taking advantage of their battle, now is an opportunity." Bai Ye nodded, but he did not send his main body.

"A clone?" Taurus and Big Beard were taken aback, but instantly understood what Bai Ye meant.

Thus, the three figures were enveloped in the light emanating from an ancient, yellowed talisman and sent directly towards the foot of White Bone Mountain.

This is a very high-level talisman, from Yuechan, and it is suspected to be a relic from ancient times. Whether it is concealment or escape into the air, its effect is incredibly strong.

The Bone Mountain was vast and endless, magnificent yet deathly silent, like an ancient burial ground for gods and demons. As soon as you approached it, there was a terrifying aura that made you feel like you were about to explode. And this was even with the talisman light in between. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been qualified to enter at all.

"But how do we get in here?" Taurus looked at the dense skeleton in front of him with a puzzled expression. Not even a fly could get in, let alone a person.

The bearded man hesitated for a moment, then said, "Come with me..."

Bai Ye and Jin Niu exchanged a glance but remained silent. They had long sensed that this bearded man was no ordinary person; he was extremely mysterious and seemed to have a special purpose. Now it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Otherwise, who would both give away the sacred medicine and reveal information about the Soul Power Treasure Seed?

"I do have some ulterior motives, but please believe me, I have no intention of harming you."

"The last one who told me to trust her led me straight into a ditch, almost capsizing me. Luckily, there's a secret treasure here that I can use." Bai Ye has a deep-seated aversion to the words "trust me."

"The last one who told me to trust him ruined me financially, made me lose face, and eventually made me someone's prisoner."

The bearded man wore an awkward smile, but his movements were swift. He led Bai Ye and Jin Niu along the bone wall for over a hundred meters, finally stopping in front of a hundred-foot-tall skeleton resembling a roc.

This place is very strange. The skeleton is golden all over and extremely dazzling. Even after so many years, it still retains a very terrifying divinity. However, its aura is not like that of skeletons that are decades or hundreds of years old. Instead, it is only about a few thousand years old.

"After all these years, it's still here..." The bearded man sighed softly, a hint of sadness in his bright eyes.

"Are you a member of the Crimson Sun Cult?" Bai Ye asked, glancing sideways.

"The Red Sun Sect is long gone. I was born in Red Ridge Village, a vast wilderness in Kunzhou. I can only be considered a descendant, though I'm not entirely sure," the bearded man said without hiding anything.

"Everyone says the leader was cursed and died, but who knew he would return... However, it seems he has failed; even the Grand Elder who protects the sect has died here..."

"What exactly is inside?" Bai Ye was shocked. This golden roc must have been a powerful celestial being in life, perhaps even a top-tier one, but it died here.

"Legend has it that it is related to the fire of the underworld, or possibly the flames of heaven. If we use them to ignite the divine fire, we will achieve the most perfect evolution, build a powerful foundation, and soar to the heavens." Upon arriving at this place, the bearded man's mood was clearly not high. He pointed to a dark crack supported by the golden skeleton and nodded slowly, "This should be it."

Bai Ye and Jin Niu took a deep breath. Huozhou has many kinds of fire. Since ancient times, there have been rumors about Chaos Flame, Azure Moon Flame, Great Crimson Heavenly Fire, and Heavenly Flame. They never expected that one of them might be here. How could this not make them feel scared?

"The Crimson Sun Sect has declined, and I dare not presume to possess it. I only hope to retrieve the remains of our sect leader. Please, both of you, have faith in me..."

"Stop, whatever you do, don't say you believe me. I'm very sensitive to that word." Bai Ye had figured it out by now. This bearded man must have recognized his identity and started making moves. People like him, who were first-generation cultivators, usually carried great treasures, especially him, who had a sect leader-level magic weapon.

“At first I was indeed very worried, but later I found that you are not as ferocious and brutal as the rumors suggested, nor are you a bloodthirsty person.” The bearded man shook his head slightly. It’s easier to deal with things once things are out in the open. The fact that his main body hasn’t been killed already speaks volumes.

"Lead the way," Bai Ye urged.

The crack was dark and cold, emanating a strange aura, as if it were an entrance to the underworld. Even the bones of gods could not illuminate this place.

The three of them walked carefully and slowly along the crack for about ten minutes.

Suddenly, he seemed to bump into something, causing the bearded man to stumble and almost fall.

"A ghost..." The bearded man trembled and almost couldn't help but scream.

"what?"

"A hand is grabbing my foot..."

At this moment, not only was Taurus feeling uneasy, but even Bai Ye felt his scalp tingle. After all, they were under the protection of the talisman.

"What's there to be cowardly about? We're not the real thing."

“But some supernatural powers can find their way to the real body, like curses,” Taurus retorted.

"And...did you guys feel like there was something blowing cold air at us...?"

"Don't scare yourself." Bai Ye squatted down, took out a small seven-colored sword, and wisps of immortal light rippled out, making the place seem to be on fire, instantly turning it into a dreamlike scene.

At the same time, they also saw clearly the culprit who had grabbed the bearded man, as well as the black figure pressed tightly against their front.

Chapter 106 The Road to the Return of the Supreme Power

"Holy shit!"

At that moment, all three of them were terrified, their bodies turning cold, and waves of chill washed over them like a tidal wave.

"boom!"

A dazzling light erupted, the sword gleaming, and slashed straight up.

But strangely, the dark figure was easily cleaved back and crashed heavily into the distance.

"Is it a living person?" The bearded man was almost crying. Heaven knows when that thing appeared. If it had taken another step forward, he might have kissed it.

“It doesn’t look like it.” Bai Ye glanced at the skeletal hand below. It was a severed arm, covered with a piece of black robe. It had no flesh or blood, but its aura was very similar to the previous shadow, as if they were from the same source.

"There's something in the sleeve..." The bearded man squatted down, reached into the wide sleeve, and pulled out a rectangular treasure box that emitted a faint light.

It is very small, only three inches long, with fine lines engraved on its surface. In the center of its surface is a mark that looks like the sun, and it looks very ancient.

"The World Box... Could this be..." The bearded man was shocked, his face full of excitement. He reached out and touched the sun pattern, his lips trembling.

It's hard to imagine that a middle-aged, strong man would reveal such complex emotions.

"It's it... the sacred object of my clan!"

"Does that mean the dark figure we just saw was the leader of the Crimson Sun Sect?" Taurus asked.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the dark figure in the distance stood up, his neck cracking, and even his aura became strange. His empty eye sockets stared straight at the three of them.

"boom!"

A seven-colored sword beam slashed down, its celestial light dazzling and dreamlike, like a celestial waterfall, sending the opponent flying backward once more, while also illuminating the area.

Faintly visible on that land, there seemed to be patches of ancient array patterns, like a spider web, stretching endlessly.

At the same time, in the center of the array, there was a three-meter-long, hazy silver ancient coffin. It exuded a terrifying aura of the world, as if its interior was connected to a great world. It stood there motionless on an ancient altar filled with chaotic energy.

"Could it be... the World Stone! It's definitely the World Stone recorded in ancient texts!!!"

"My ancestor, am I dreaming?!" Taurus was incoherent and completely frantic, acting as if he would fight anyone who dared to stop him.

However, the moment Bai Ye saw the coffin, his pupils suddenly contracted, and without saying a word, he grabbed the bearded man and left.

"The World Stone... The World Stone!" Taurus was so excited he could hardly contain himself. In fact, let alone him, even a cult leader or giant would be tempted to snatch it at all costs.

However, Bai Ye sensed an ancient aura of a Celestial King above.

Sure enough, with a loud bang, the golden bull exploded. It couldn't even get close to the array patterns, let alone approach the ancient coffin.
