Chapter 1349: Dragon Bones
“This used to be a river.” Shangguan Jing’s voice sounded softly.
Chu Liuyue’s gaze flickered, and she walked forward with a normal expression.?It seems like this place looked completely different when Ancestor came to this place a thousand years ago. However, the world is ever-changing, and everything has changed.?
“The sand contains rich force, but it’s too sparse, and it’s hard to absorb properly.” Shangguan Jing said rather regretfully, “If not, you could’ve continued cultivating here.”
Chu Liuyue smiled in her heart. “Ancestor, even I’m not anxious. Why are you in a hurry?”
“It’s not that I’m anxious, but… This is the only way you won’t let down your current achievements.” Shangguan Jing sighed lightly. “You’re already broken through to become a King Xuan Master. If I haven’t guessed wrongly, you should be able to break through to the ultimate point very soon and become a Physician. As for the warrior aspect… Logically speaking, even if you don’t break through to the Apotheosis Realm, you should be a stage-nine warrior at the very least with the amount of Heaven and Earth force you have absorbed.”
However, this wasn’t the case.
Without a doubt, Chu Liuyue had the same outstanding talent in all three aspects. Whichever talent she showed, she would be an elite at it.
Chu Liuyue had always been very successful in her cultivation as a Xuan Master and heavenly doctor. Only the warrior aspect… Her breakthrough speed was so slow to the point where it was infuriating.
Even to this day, she was just a stage-eight warrior.
The others didn’t know, but she knew it the best—she had already recovered her Tianjing Yuan meridian. When she broke through to become a stage-seven warrior and went through the God Foreseeing Tribulation, the phenomena were extraordinary.
Shangguan Jing had never seen it before in his life.
With such talent, it was really strange that she could only forcefully break through to become a stage-eight warrior.
A very faint smile quickly flashed across Chu Liuyue’s lips.?I’ve long been used to this. After I was reborn and got this water droplet, I realized that my cultivation as a warrior seemed to be intentionally restricted by this item.?
......
“Even though I’m a stage-eight warrior… I might be able to fight a stage-nine warrior,” Chu Liuyue teased in her heart.
However, Shangguan Jing had a different opinion on this. “It’s still different. Yue’er, I know that you’re strong and that the difference in cultivation levels doesn’t seem to be very obvious here. However, it’s only for the time being. The difference between a stage-eight warrior and a stage-nine warrior can be closed with all sorts of methods you have now. But when you go higher, the difference between cultivation levels will only be greater. At that time, it won’t be so easy if you want to challenge those with a higher cultivation level.”
“For example, if you’re a stage-nine warrior and the other party is a demigod, what are you supposed to do? If the other party is a true god, they can unleash their God Realm and easily suppress you. Have you… thought about all of these problems?”
The current Chu Liuyue could use the holy force to forcefully fight a demigod with a move or two. With the Chi Xiao Sword, she might even be able to tie with the other party.
But all of this was still external support. As long as she was strong and capable, she could then be considered as a true warrior!
Chu Liuyue lowered her head and thought deeply for a moment. “Ancestor, you’re right.”
Actually, she had been very curious about this. This was because from the Qing Yun Ranking’s situation, it seemed like the previous her had broken through to become a legendary warrior. However, this part of her memory was missing, so she couldn’t investigate it.
I wonder… What will it look like when I break through to the Apotheosis Realm now??
…
Time seemed to pass especially slowly.
The crowd silently walked forward, not knowing when they would reach the end. This feeling where they couldn’t see hope was the most torturous.
The further they went, the hotter the surroundings seemed to be.
“Do you feel that something is wrong?” Finally, an academy elder couldn’t help but ask this and wipe the sweat on his forehead.
“I also feel that the temperature here is indeed abnormal.” Another elder nodded.
With their abilities, even if they walked such a distance underneath the burning sun, they wouldn’t feel this hot.
This type of feeling seemed like… it had come from the inside of their bodies.
“Look, the surrounding scenery seems rather different.”
Chu Liuyue recovered her senses, instinctively looked up, and surveyed her surroundings.
Now, it seemed like there was a problem. On the mountain rocks on both sides of the gully were many holes and cracks. It was as if it had some rhythm or was contorted to this state by some special force. After all, it seemed rather strange.
Chu Liuyue couldn’t say clearly where this feeling came from, but something seemed to be weighing down on her heart.
Suddenly, she focused her gaze and walked a few steps to the right.
“Chu Yue, what’s the matter?” Elder Hua Feng followed her curiously.
Chu Liuyue stopped one step before the mountain rocks.
Looking up, it was a steep cliff that was almost perpendicular. One could even see the thick piles of snow above it.
“What are you looking at?” Elder Hua Feng followed her gaze and looked, but he didn’t discover anything wrong.
Chu Liuyue took a step forward and swiped away the red sand below her feet.
Half a white bone was suddenly revealed.
Elder Hua Feng was dazed.
That seemed to be a bone that had been buried here for a long time. As only a part of it was exposed, one couldn’t guess what shape it was or even find out the owner’s identity. However, the crucial point was that the bone shone like a crystal and faintly gave out some light.
Upon a closer look, one could still see rays of light slowly moving in it.
This was definitely not an ordinary bone.
Chu Liuyue raised her hand and grabbed the bone, wanting to pick it up. However, the bottom portion was buried within extremely hard rock.
Chu Liuyue tried a few times but couldn’t succeed. In the end, she could only give up.
“This should’ve been completely buried underneath,” said Chu Liuyue lightly as she grabbed a handful of sand.
This sand should’ve been formed from these mountain rocks. That is why it reveals this half of the bone. I just don’t know what kind of human bone would be buried under such a hard mountain rock.
“This isn’t a human’s bone,” said the three-eyed legendary eagle suddenly.
Chu Liuyue was dazed. “Not a human bone? Then, this…”
“This is the bone from a dragon clan member!”
