BXBX NOVEL Chapter 750 – The Buried Bones
Chapter 750 – The Buried Bones
The ‘black mountain range’ was silent for a long time. Then, it roared out loud as if excited. The black stones that covered its body were pierced through from beneath by thick bone spikes. In the blink of an eye, this seemingly harmless mountain range had transformed into a truly hideous and horrifying sight.
The woman bathed in darkness had no change in expression. “If you want to fight a little, I can satisfy your wish.”
It was clear she wasn’t willing to take a single step back.
The ‘black mountain range’ covered in bone spikes was silent for some time before finally choosing to compromise. It roared out loud and then the woman moved out of the way.
The bone spikes were hidden away. The ‘black mountain range’ rumbled into the distance.
“After waiting for countless years, has master’s clansman finally come?” The woman muttered. Faint fluctuations of light passed between her eyebrows. But because she was covered in darkness, no one could see it clearly.
At this time, she suddenly coughed out loud. Her figure that was taller than the average man suddenly slumped to the ground as she curled up a little. A bit of light appeared in the void above her head. As it shined against the darkness, the darkness melted away like snow beneath the summer sun.
Sss –
The sounds of corrosion made one’s scalp tingle with dread!
After a long time, the light vanished from sight. The fluctuations of darkness around the woman gradually calmed down. She gasped for breath and stood up with great difficulty. Her eyes were faint once more, all of her previous excitement and joy gone.
“Anyone that enters the Divine Church’s sacred lands without authorization shall die!”
Her tone was chilling, each word dripping with killing intent and filled with a cruelty that rushed into the heart!
The woman turned and walked away. Her body was like a piece of gravel falling into a lake. After some ripples, she disappeared.
Since there was still a use for the old master’s attendant, how could there be no method of restriction? The true dangers were just beginning!
…
Although Purple Moon and Blue Sun had confirmed their earlier thoughts, the place where the bones were was extremely secretive and was concealed behind numerous layers of mechanisms by the Western Tomb Divine Church. If they truly wanted to determine its position, it would be extremely troublesome. But in this world, there were no gains without labor. Qin Yu didn’t feel bothered or bored at all. Instead, as time passed, his anticipation grew increasingly heavy.
It was an Ancient who had suppressed the dragon race and constructed Dragon City. With the formidable strength that Ancient displayed, it was easy for him to dominate the world. But what the Western Tomb Divine Church publicly declared to the outside world was that their religious sect had existed since ancient times and had an inheritance of hundreds of thousands of years. They said they were the source of all dao arts in the world.
Then thinking about it, in the era when this formidable Ancient suppressed the dragon race and constructed Dragon City, did the Western Tomb Divine Church exist?
If the Divine Church existed, then with the overbearing and tyrannical personality that the Ancient displayed by suppressing the entire dragon race, would he allow such a formidable religious sect to rule alongside him in the world and believe in other gods? Even an idiot could tell that this was impossible!
Since the Western Tomb Divine Church’s inheritance had lasted until now, it was clear that there was another story behind all of this. If he pondered more about the relationship between the Western Tomb Divine Church and the Ancient, a frightening conclusion could be drawn. Moreover, in that ‘Soul Refining Lake’, Qin Yu could feel the aura of that Ancient.
But what the Western Tomb Divine Church believed in was the Dao Monarch that surpassed all in existence and who had not yet fallen. This being was able to help the believers of the Western Tomb utilize all sorts of inconceivable abilities. Before, Qin Yu didn’t feel any of that Ancient’s aura from the portal constructed by the power of god. This left him reconsidering the situation.
He took a deep breath and suppressed these thoughts. His expression returned to serenity. As long as he found the place where the bones were buried, every riddle could be solved.
…
Western Tomb Divine Church, Holy Temple.
Beneath the sanctified and dignified statue of the Dao Monarch, the Western Tomb Divine Seat suddenly opened his eyes. His eyebrows furrowed together as the air congealed around him, flooded with an invisible oppression.
The spell within that sinner attendant’s body had unexpectedly activated again after all these years. Was she trying to voluntarily restore her memories or had another problem occurred? And at this moment, the two Hidden Fog Sect cultivators just happened to be in the Hell Mystic Realm!
A light flashed in his eyes. If the problem really originated from those two people, then it was extremely likely that their proposition to exchange for the resurrection lily was a plot to begin with. If so, he needed to face this matter himself and extinguish every possible hidden danger.
As the Western Tomb Divine Seat was deep in thought, the sound of a great bell suddenly resounded through the magnificent red and white Divine Palace. The sound waves shook through the heavens and earth, causing the pillars of light that fell down from the skies to ripple.
Hu –
Ji Xiangtian suddenly stood up. As he did, a deep and low sigh, one filled with infinite grief, came from the Dao Monarch statue behind him. A dreadful aura rushed out from the Holy Temple and impacted into the skies. Then, the sunlight outside actually turned to fire, burning without end.
Countless believers kneeling outside saw this scene. Heated excitement and zealousness shined on their faces as they bowed again and again, knocking their heads into the ground while they prayed at the top of their lungs. This was a true miracle. In the teachings of the Western Tomb, only the most devout followers were qualified to see this and it was the greatest affirmation of their faith.
As the believers prostrated themselves, the sunlight that burned outside the temple grew increasingly hot and brilliant. Space twisted, making the originally solemn and noble Holy Temple look even more ethereal, as if it would disappear into space at any moment.
108 great priests gathered outside the temple. They watched as two Saints, the Right and Left Messengers of the Light, and six Cardinals respectfully stepped through the temple gates. Their expressions were sober but envy flashed in their eyes. While they were considered high level figures of the Divine Church, they had no idea how many years it would be before they could truly enter the highest echelons of authority within the church.
“Divine Seat!”
With the Saints at the front, everyone bowed. The shrine’s warning hadn’t appeared for almost 10,000 years and their hearts were shaken. Of course, they remained calm on the surface without revealing any panic at all.
Ji Xiangtian said without expression, “There has been a change within the holy site. Someone has discovered the secret of the Western Tomb.” These words caused the hall to fall deathly silent.
As the highest level figures of the Divine Church, they shared authority with the Divine Seat and helped govern an inexhaustible territory. Within the hall, these ten people had the qualifications to know the existence of the sacred site, and naturally understood the significance behind these words. In serious terms, this was related to the inherited orthodoxy of the Western Tomb Divine Church. If they didn’t handle this well, it would cause irreversible consequences.
Wearing white robes, the calm First Saint walked forward. He bowed and said, “Divine Seat, I am willing to go to the holy site and purify all sinners who dared to blaspheme the sacred lands of our religion.”
The Divine Seat thought for a moment. Then he nodded, “Very well, then I will exhaust the Saint with making a trip.”
The First Saint had a solemn expression. “I will not disappoint the expectations of the Divine Seat.”
In his heart, a thought that had been hidden away for countless years began to slowly rise.
…
Qin Yu gasped for breath, a burning heat scalding his chest. Two long wounds ran across him, almost opening up his belly and pouring his intestines out. The flesh and blood around the wounds had turned gray and acrid. The cold and burning feeling made it difficult for him to restore his injuries.
Not too far away in front of him was the corpse of a human-shaped monster. It had three heads and the middle one was similar to that of a human. The left head was that of a dog and the right head was that of a black snake.
Right now, the human head had its forehead pierced through by an invisible strength and red and white goo was flowing out. The left dog side was half broken and drooped to the side. This monster was already dead, but the intact snake head still glared tightly at Qin Yu, the ice cold hatred in its eyes causing his hairs to stand on end.
Qin Yu gasped for breath. After absorbing all the poison gas spreading through his body, he walked over to the monster’s corpse and slashed down with a sword.
Puff –
The snake head rolled away and the venom it spat out uselessly poured to the ground. In the next moment it broke apart into countless pieces.
The closer Qin Yu approached to where the bones were buried, the more troubles he came across. In some encounters, Purple Moon and the other two were able to help. For instance, the formidable ghost he met before. However, there were some dangers he needed to face alone.
The blood energy of the Ancients was completely ineffective against the monsters here. Rather, it would make them fall into a wild rage. This was the reason Qin Yu had obtained his current injuries.
“Found it!”
Within his soul space, Purple Moon’s tired yet excited voice rang out.
Qin Yu relaxed inwardly. He had really been worried that if things continued like this, he wouldn’t be able to last much longer before dying.
Hu –
Letting out a long breath of relief, Qin Yu asked, “Where is it?”
Purple Moon hesitated for a moment. “Perhaps you should rest first.”
Qin Yu shook his head, “There’s no time.”
With how important this mystic realm was, it was impossible that the Western Tomb Divine Church didn’t make any further contingency plans. There was no way they would allow him to continue forward and strip away their greatest secret.
If things happened as he anticipated, his actions should have been discovered already. He just didn’t know why even now, no one had come yet.
Qin Yu didn’t want to base all of his hopes on the Western Tomb Divine Church’s slow reaction. The faster he found the bone burial place the greater his advantage would be.
Purple Moon understood his intent. She said, “Move forward according to our guidance. No matter what you see, no matter what you feel, do not look back or lose focus.”
As she finished speaking, light gathered in front of Qin Yu, condensing into the phantoms of a crescent purple moon and blue sun.
Like twin fish, the sun and moon constantly circled around each other. Although they seemed to be rotating around and around, the truth was that they were slowly drifting off into the distance.
This was clearly the guidance that Purple Moon spoke of.
Qin Yu hurtled forward, following the moon and sun phantoms closely.
