The Alternative Way of Enlightenment

Chapter 45 Collecting Bones, Black Fire, and Plaques

Sensing the black sun, the group of people carefully groped their way forward. In the distance, a building that looked very old appeared, and from a distance, there was a plaque on it.

"It seems that that is the place where Emperor Hengyu trains his weapons." Saint Maiden Yao Chi said softly.

"Have we really found the place where Emperor Hengyu trains weapons?" Old Knife Boss said excitedly.

Everyone stopped sighing and walked quickly towards the ancient building.

This is the place where Emperor Hengyu once trained his weapons. There might be treasures left behind by the emperor.

When they arrived in front of the building, everyone looked up and saw two big characters "Heng Yu" written in ancient Chinese on the plaque!
Really found it!
Everyone stared at the two ancient characters on the plaque carefully, as if they wanted to find traces of Emperor Hengyu from the ancient characters, and wanted to comprehend some of the emperor's rhyme from the ancient characters.

Only Liu Shan wanted to go in after taking a few glances.

What's so good about a plaque? At worst, he will come out and take the plaque away! 'Fortunately Pangbo is not here, otherwise he will definitely snatch the plaque from me,' Liu Shan thought with evil taste.

The others had wanted to continue their comprehending, but when they saw Liu Shan actually trying to step into the building, they dared not look anymore. The treasure was more important.

Everyone walked into the room together and saw corpses piled up on the side, forming a small hill.

"After so many years, there's still a hint of light on these bones. How powerful were they when they were alive?" Li Desheng said with emotion.

Liu Shan looked at these corpses with envy. He felt that after such a long time, these corpses still had some energy left. The corpses must have been masters of the saint realm, the great saint realm, or even the quasi-emperor realm when they were alive, otherwise their corpses would not have been preserved after being killed by Emperor Hengyu.

After all, if the emperor strikes hard, the weak will surely be wiped out.

Liu Shan felt that he had become a little abnormal since he had acquired the Heaven Devouring Magic Skill. When he saw the corpses, his first instinct was to swallow them. Shouldn't a normal person ignore it? At the very least, he should have thought about using these corpses to refine weapons, right?

It seems that the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art is really addictive, but Liu Shan thinks this feeling is okay. Just keep swallowing, the more you swallow, the stronger you will be, and throw away all moral constraints.

The rest of the people did not stay here for long. It was just a bunch of dead skeletons. The treasures in the ancient temple ahead were more important.

Only Liu Shan walked slowly, at the end. Ye Fan looked back at him in confusion, and Liu Shan pointed to a pile of bones, then waved at him.

Although Ye Fan was puzzled, he continued to walk towards the ancient temple in front of him and no longer cared about Liu Shan.

After everyone left, Liu Shan happily collected all the bones. All of these bones were in strange shapes, and none of them were human.

As long as it's not a human, Liu Shan can just eat it and swallow it. There's no need to convert it into a vital essence pill, just treat it as a big bone stick.

The people who entered the ancient temple scattered and searched among the ashes. Ye Fan was also searching in the dust, and suddenly he touched a stone. He swept away the dust and the stone was revealed. It turned out to be a black stone.

Ye Fan wanted to pick it up, but the fist-sized black stone weighed 10,000 pounds. He did not use all his strength, but only gently lifted the stone and it fell to the ground.

Yao Xi looked over curiously, and Ye Fan picked up the black stone again. Unexpectedly, when the black stone fell, it left a small mark, and a red light shot out from the mark.

"Phoenix Blood Red Gold Stone?" Yao Xi, the Saint of Yaoguang, exclaimed.

When the others heard her words, they were all stunned, then turned around and stared at the Phoenix Blood Red Gold Stone in Ye Fan's hand with burning eyes.

Is it really the Phoenix Blood Red Gold Stone? That is the immortal gold exclusive to the Great Emperor, one of the nine immortal golds. Each kind is priceless and rare in ancient times. The Jiang family's Jidao Emperor Weapon Hengyu Furnace is made entirely of Phoenix Blood Red Gold Stone.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at him strangely. It seemed normal to find the Phoenix Blood Red Gold Stone in Emperor Hengyu's weapon refining place.

Everyone's standing positions at this time became strange, vaguely surrounding Ye Fan in the middle. Ye Fan saw everyone's standing positions and secretly groaned in his heart.

At this time Liu Shan also walked in. He saw the scene and understood what was going on.

He walked up to Ye Fan, then looked at the Holy Son of Yaoguang and said to everyone, "What do you want?"

The calm Saint Yaoguang said first, "I have no ill intentions. I just want to see the legendary Phoenix Blood Red Gold Stone." The old knife handle also said, "The immortal gold divine material belongs to the virtuous. Since you have already got it, it naturally belongs to you. I just want to see what this Phoenix Blood Red Gold Stone that belongs to the Great Emperor looks like and satisfy my curiosity. After all, this may be the only chance to see it in this life."

Saint Yao Xi of Yaoguang was somewhat embarrassed and did not speak. Saint Yao Chi looked at Liu Shan at this time and began to say, "Don't worry, no one will take action."

After thinking for a while, Liu Shan looked at Ye Fan. Ye Fan nodded in understanding. He put the Phoenix Blood Red Gold Stone on the ground and took a few steps back.

The two did not believe what these people said, but they all understood that under the watchful eyes of the public, no one would take action and they all were cautious of each other.

The Holy Son Yaoguang was concerned about the presence of so many people. He couldn't kill them all. In order to maintain his reputation, he didn't want to rob them either.

The old knife-holder did not dare to take action. With three heirs of the holy land present, he was not sure of his ability. He was also concerned about the Lihuo Divine Furnace in Liu Shan's hand.

Yao Xi, the Saint of Yaoguang, understood that she could not defeat the Saint of Yaoguang, and there was also the Saint of Yaochi, so she didn't care.

Although the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was quite tempted by the Phoenix Blood Red Gold Stone, the atmosphere in the Yao Chi Holy Land was relatively good and people were not particularly obsessed with external objects, so she really had no intention of snatching it.

The rest of the bystanders, although they were envious, all of them clearly realized that they would not have a chance. There were so many masters, none of them could defeat them, and now they were still in the Taichu Ancient Mine, and they still needed Liu Shan and Ye Fan to lead the way. They really didn't want to see everyone fighting.

After everyone had seen the Phoenix Blood and Red Gold, Ye Fan picked up the Phoenix Blood and Red Gold Stone, sealed it first, and then put it into the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

They searched the building again, but found nothing except the text left by Emperor Hengyu.

Everyone came out and saw the corpses that were previously piled together, but now there was nothing left. They immediately understood that it was Liu Shan, who came in last, who had collected them.

Thinking of this, everyone felt a little regretful. These bones would definitely be excellent materials for refining weapons, but now there is not a single one left.

The Holy Son Yaoguang looked at Liu Shan meaningfully, then led the way out of the building.

Everyone came out and began to look up to comprehend the words on the plaque, hoping to comprehend some of the Great Emperor's principles and truths from his words.

Liu Shan watched everyone comprehend and felt a little bored. After all, he planned to collect the plaque, and he would have a chance to comprehend these words sooner or later.

Sensing the mark of the sun here, Liu Shan wondered if this place, like the Dao Fire in the Fire Domain, was also left by the ancient Immortal King?

Since the black yang fire here can be used by Emperor Hengyu to refine weapons, then I should be able to collect some of it, right?

Liu Shan acted as soon as he thought of it. He sacrificed the Lihuo Divine Furnace. The Lihuo Divine Furnace began to grow larger, and then Liu Shan directly controlled the Lihuo Divine Furnace to fly into the air, and then quickly landed, and the Lihuo Divine Furnace smashed into the ground.

Just like that, he went halfway into the ground away from the Vulcan Furnace and began to collect the black flames produced by the terrain of the Fallen Sun Cave.

The others were awakened by Liu Shan's big move. They looked at Liu Shan in surprise, thinking he was bold enough to collect the black flames here.

The old knife handle said with some concern: "Will this cause a riot on the ground?"

Before he could finish his words, he saw Saint Yaoguang, Saint Son Yaoguang and Saint Yaochi all start to control their own magic weapons to collect the black flames underground.

The old knife-holder said no more and prepared to take out his magic weapon to collect some.

Ye Fan could only watch with envy. His All-Material Mother Qi Cauldron could not be seen in the light. After Liu Shan saw Ye Fan's eyes, he sent him a message: "I will give you some after we get out."

The others also controlled their magic weapons and wanted to collect the black flames, but in the process, the magic weapons were directly burned by the black flames.

Liu Shan felt that he had collected enough, so he recalled the Lihuo Divine Furnace. Touching the palm-sized crystal furnace, the crystal furnace was warm and very comfortable. Liu Shan liked this Lihuo Divine Furnace too much.

Seeing that everyone was no longer trying to comprehend the words on the plaque, Liu Shan simply put the plaque away. Everyone looked at Liu Shan's actions in amazement. Wasn't this too disrespectful to Emperor Hengyu?

No one expected that Liu Shan would do this. After all, this was the plaque of the Great Emperor. All cultivators had fear and respect for the Great Emperor. After all, the Great Emperor was the endpoint of cultivation, a realm that everyone could only dream of but could not reach.
