After dealing with the Qingxuan Sect group, Xu Chuan first ransacked their storage rings, then walked over to the Jade Marrow Grass.
He reached out and plucked it, along with the soil, placing it into a jade box with a mid-grade spirit stone before putting it into his storage ring. This was the only way to ensure the Jade Marrow Grass wouldn't lose its vitality and could be replanted upon his return to the Holy Land.
"Senior Brother Xu Chuan!"
"It's wonderful that you're unharmed!"
Only now did Su Miaoyin recover her senses. Seeing Xu Chuan completely unharmed, she was overjoyed, tears streaming down her face as she threw herself into his arms. The moment Xu Chuan was shot by the two arrows, she had nearly gone mad. She had secretly sworn that if anything happened to Xu Chuan, she would make the entire Qingxuan Sect pay with their lives! Fortunately, Xu Chuan had pulled through, unharmed.
"It's alright, it's alright, stop crying. Those two arrows couldn't possibly hurt me!" Xu Chuan gently soothed her, stroking her beautiful hair. The instant the two arrows exploded, Xu Chuan had used the Vermilion Bird Fire Control Art taught to him by his master. Instantly, the True Sun Fire enveloped his entire body. The energy generated by the explosion was refined by the terrifying true fire, leaving him completely unscathed.
"Alright, the opportunities here have been secured, and there are no other resources nearby. Let's go!" Xu Chuan said.
"Okay, I'll listen to Senior Brother Xu!" Su Miaoyin wiped away her tears and nodded. Then, she suddenly remembered her impulsive action of throwing herself into Xu Chuan's arms, feeling a pang of shyness, her cheeks flushing.
And so, Xu Chuan led Su Miaoyin away from the place. As for the corpses of the Qingxuan Sect disciples, Xu Chuan did not bother to dispose of them. The strong smell of blood would soon attract the demonic beasts that inhabited the area, and their ultimate fate would be to become beast droppings.
Xu Chuan's next destination was a place known as the Burial Ground. This was information he had obtained from a prodigy. A Supreme Bone was about to emerge there. It was eventually obtained by Yang Sheng. This was something Xu Chuan could not accept.
The Supreme Bone was an incredibly valuable item. It was a special bone left behind by an Emperor Realm cultivator after death. This bone fused with the Emperor's martial dao, and by merging with it, one could comprehend the martial dao cultivation experience of an Emperor Realm expert throughout their lifetime. It was even possible to obtain the Emperor's inheritance and tread the path of a young Emperor. The effects of marrow cleansing and improving one's aptitude paled in comparison to these benefits.
According to system information, after obtaining the Supreme Bone, Yang Sheng gained the martial dao cultivation experience and inheritance of an Emperor Realm cultivator. This greatly increased his strength, allowing him to seize more opportunities within this ancient palace world and ultimately rise to become an unparalleled prodigy!
"No, I absolutely cannot let Yang Sheng obtain this Supreme Bone!" Xu Chuan thought to himself. Yang Sheng already harbored hostility towards him, and if he were to obtain the Supreme Bone as well, things would escalate uncontrollably. At that point, it might be Xu Chuan who suffered, and he might even die at Yang Sheng's hands. After all, Yang Sheng was the protagonist of a destiny script, naturally favored by fortune, and anything he did would be seen as reasonable.
...
Burial Ground.
Many people had already gathered here. They were all prodigies from various factions; rogue cultivators were nowhere to be seen. They were gathered around a small mound, staring at it with grave expressions.
Before this, several rogue cultivators had discovered a treasure about to emerge in this Burial Ground. While waiting for it to appear, a dispute arose among them. After a fierce battle, only two remained. One of them escaped and spread the news of the treasure's emergence. Prodigies from nearby areas rushed over upon hearing the news. After eliminating the other rogue cultivator, they patiently waited before the mound. They too could sense the unusual nature of the treasure within.
As time passed, a mysterious aura emanated from the mound. It was this aura that attracted more and more prodigies, who gradually arrived at the location. They all believed that the treasure within the mound was an extraordinary item.
Boom!
Half a day later, a beam of multicolored radiance erupted from the mound, shooting straight into the sky. Half the sky was illuminated by this radiance. Seeing this spectacle, the assembled prodigies became even more convinced of their initial thoughts.
"A natural phenomenon, a supreme treasure is emerging!"
"Hurry, we might still get a glimpse of the treasure's true form!"
"An item that can manifest such a phenomenon is certainly not ordinary, we cannot miss it!"
...
The entire ancient palace world was thrown into chaos with the appearance of this radiance. Countless cultivators rushed towards the Burial Ground from all directions. The number of cultivators here increased dramatically.
Xu Chuan also saw the radiance. He and Su Miaoyin quickened their pace towards the source of the light.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After three explosions, the mound at the source of the radiance burst open. Immediately, even more dazzling radiance appeared, illuminating everyone present. Through the radiance, they saw a bone, entirely golden and covered in runes, suspended in mid-air.
Upon seeing this, everyone present felt their hearts burn with desire, their minds stirred.
"This is the Supreme Bone!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd recognized the origin of the bone and exclaimed in shock.
Whoosh!
Upon hearing this, everyone present went into a frenzy, their eyes filled with greed. Before them lay a Supreme Bone! This was a peerless treasure that was not even found in the Holy Lands! Each Supreme Bone was enough to be the heirloom treasure of a Holy Land! Those present, regardless of their Holy Land or great faction, had never seen a Supreme Bone with their own eyes, but they had all heard of its legendary status. This was precisely why they were so frenzied. The legendary Supreme Bone lay before them, within reach.
"This supreme treasure belongs to my Silver Moon Holy Land, no one is allowed to snatch it!" shouted Yuan Li, a prodigy from the Silver Moon Holy Land whom Xu Chuan had seen before. With fanatical eyes, he charged towards the direction of the Supreme Bone, intending to seize it before others could react.
Then, before he could get close to the Supreme Bone, a sword energy suddenly appeared in the air and struck him directly. Yuan Li, who was at the fourth level of the Nirvana Realm, was sent flying by this blow, falling to the ground severely injured and spitting blood.
"Truly ignorant. Is a treasure like the Supreme Bone something that just any cat or dog can covet?" As the voice fell, a young man in flowing white robes, holding a sword, slowly descended, looking disdainfully at the severely injured Yuan Li. He was a core disciple from the Kunwu Holy Land, with a cultivation base at the sixth level of the Nirvana Realm and an incredibly formidable strength. It was evident how powerful he was, as he had incapacitated Yuan Li, a cultivator at the fourth level of the Nirvana Realm, with a single sword strike. The surrounding cultivators were also intimidated by him, and for a time, no one dared to make a move. Seeing this, he sneered and then charged towards the Supreme Bone, intending to seize it.
Just as he was about to succeed, an anomaly occurred!
