Hearing that it concerned Ling Luoyi, and seeing Qiu Yuanxi's solemn expression in the image, the Domain Lord roughly understood what she wanted to ask and sighed, "Ask."
"More than two months ago, extraterrestrial demons attacked the Ancient Spirit Continent. Although we defeated them, that night I discovered that Little Luo'er's right arm was injured. The wound did not seem to be caused by external force, but rather like it was torn from within. I want to know what happened. Also, the Domain Lord mentioned before that to break through to the Immortal Realm, one must cultivate immortal power, but Little Luo'er's immortal power relies on the Saintess's power. What is going on?"
Ordinary people could not distinguish the source of immortal power, so only the Domain Lord and a few elders knew that Ling Luoyi did not have immortal power. Qiu Yuanxi discovered it because she found Ling Luoyi's spiritual power to be unusual. She knew this matter was of great importance and had not told anyone.
Seeing that Qiu Yuanxi would not give up until she got the truth, the Domain Lord sighed again and said, "Si Yao, since you want to know, this Seat will tell you. Si Zhan was able to cultivate to her current level without immortal power because she cultivates not immortal power, but divine power."
This single sentence made Qiu Yuanxi understand everything.
"Divine power? Little Luo'er has divine bones?!"
Reaching this conclusion, Qiu Yuanxi was stunned. She knew Ling Luoyi was very strong, but she never expected Ling Luoyi to be this strong!
Suddenly realizing something, Ling Luoyi exclaimed, "But she hasn't cultivated immortal bones. If she cultivates divine bones directly, her body won't be able to withstand it!"
To cultivate to the highest realm, one must first cultivate mortal bones into immortal bones, and then from immortal bones to divine bones. If the sequence is disrupted, the cultivator's body will not be able to withstand the immense power and will be annihilated!
Realizing this, Qiu Yuanxi's breathing suddenly became rapid.
"Si Yao, we all know about this, and Si Zhan herself knows, but she has no other choice. Her second divine bone has already formed. As long as she cultivates the third divine bone, she will be able to cultivate into a god," the Domain Lord said calmly, but felt pity for her in his heart.
"But Domain Lord, although Little Luo'er has the Primordial Body and can withstand all power, she has already shown signs of backlash. This indicates that the power of the two divine bones has exceeded the limit her body can withstand. If this continues, she will die!"
"Si Yao..."
"Domain Lord, if Little Luo'er cannot cultivate the third divine bone, she will be scattered into dust! Her body can no longer support her in cultivating the third divine bone, and she will die!"
The Domain Lord knew this very well. Ling Luoyi had bypassed immortal bones. If she could not cultivate three divine bones before her death, all that awaited her would be annihilation! But...
"Si Yao, we can no longer stop it."
This sentence successfully brought Qiu Yuanxi back to her senses. That's right, after Ling Luoyi cultivated the first divine bone, there was no turning back.
"Domain Lord, how much time does Little Luo'er have left?" Qiu Yuanxi asked distractedly.
"This Seat does not know. In the past, this Seat has seen people who directly cultivated divine bones, and that person was annihilated a year after cultivating the first divine bone."
"The power of one divine bone is so strong?!" Little Luo'er has two!
"We know very little about divine bones. The ancient texts in the human realm only contain fragmented records, only a few words."
Seeing that Qiu Yuanxi did not respond, the Domain Lord comforted her, "Si Yao, Si Zhan is the strongest-willed person I have ever met. Perhaps she can become the first person to achieve godhood through this method."
"Thank you, Domain Lord, for clearing my doubts." After saying this, Qiu Yuanxi disconnected the image.
The Domain Lord's words did not comfort Qiu Yuanxi. If it were possible to achieve godhood by directly cultivating divine bones, bypassing immortal bones, why had no one ever succeeded? Ling Luoyi was not the only talented person, but none of them had succeeded.
Qiu Yuanxi wanted to trust that Ling Luoyi would succeed, but thinking of Ling Luoyi's eyes when she left that night, Qiu Yuanxi could not trust her. Perhaps she herself did not believe she could succeed.
What about the Demon Emperor? Did the Demon Emperor know about this? Qiu Yuanxi was lost.
In the Asura tribe, in the dark prison of the royal palace, in a silent room, there were only two Asuras. One was Xuanhe, who had already been tortured and was covered in wounds. The other was the Asura King himself!
At this moment, the Asura King sat on a chair opposite Xuanhe, holding a short whip that occasionally crackled with lightning. Looking at the dying Xuanhe, he spoke like a demon, "Xuanhe, where is the item? If you return the item, this King can revoke your traitorous title, and you can resume your official post."
"King, no matter how much torture you inflict on me, my answer will always be the same: I handed the item over to Saintess Si Zhan because I could not withstand her torture. No matter how many times you ask, I cannot produce it."
Xuanhe's attitude was very sincere, but the Asura King was not easily fooled. He knew that Ling Luoyi would not inquire about others' affairs, which was why he had asked Ling Luoyi to capture Xuanhe. In fact, he was not entirely sure. This item was very important to the Asura tribe; it could be said to be the secret treasure of the Asura tribe. Once it fell into the hands of others, the Asura tribe would be in danger.
However, he still needed to test Xuanhe. What if Xuanhe intended to disrupt the relationship between the Asura tribe and the human race? He had finally managed to cultivate a good relationship between the Asura tribe and the human race, and he could not let Xuanhe ruin his centuries of effort.
"Xuanhe, this King knows your character. You would not leave important things with others. The item must still be on you. Hand it over quickly!"
As soon as he said this, the Asura King stared intently at Xuanhe's reaction, fearing to miss even a trace. As expected, the Asura King noticed a momentary lapse in Xuanhe's reaction. When he heard the Asura King confidently state that the item was still on him, Xuanhe's breathing quickened, which he quickly concealed.
Seeing Xuanhe's reaction, the Asura King became even more certain that everything Xuanhe had said was false, and that Ling Luoyi had never interrogated him.
"Xuanhe, let this King guess where you would hide the item. It's definitely impossible on the surface of your body. You are a cultivator of spatial spiritual power, so you should have a personal space. It should not be easy to hide it there either. Where else is difficult to find things hidden? Is it the sea of consciousness? Or the divine soul?"
As the Asura King uttered the last two words, Xuanhe's eyes went blank for a moment. The Asura King had discovered it and confirmed that the item was in Xuanhe's divine soul. Not only was it difficult to find, but it was also difficult for others to retrieve. If external force intervened, the divine soul might collapse, and the item hidden within could be destroyed along with it. He needed to find a way.
The Asura King sealed Xuanhe here and left. As the Asura King left, the lights in the dark prison went out one by one, leaving only the flickering lightning from the whip to illuminate Xuanhe's despairing eyes.
It was bad enough that he had failed the task his King had assigned him. He had also failed to disrupt the relationship between the Asura tribe and the human race, and now the Asura King had discovered the hiding place of the item. He was truly useless.
Xuanhe hiding the item in his divine soul was a last resort. He had wanted to take a risk and leave the item in the mysterious space where Ling Luoyi had imprisoned him, but at that time, he was completely unable to move, not even having the strength to retrieve the item.
Now, he could only hope that his King would discover his whereabouts and receive the item before the Asura King, thus completing his mission.
My King, for your grand plan, you must discover your subordinate's whereabouts soon! You must know! Your subordinate will wait for you!
