Chapter 259 White Bone King Palace
Hearing the Treasure Spirit's words, Qin Ming fell into contemplation.
For a time.
The atmosphere in the air also became solidified.
"How do you prove that you have the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement Art?"
Qin Ming pondered for a long while, then suddenly raised his head and asked the Golden Toad Ancestor.
The Golden Toad Ancestor was also stunned when he heard this, and immediately said:
"A hundred years ago, an Azure Horned Dragon Demon Beast came to this place. At that time, it was only at the Early Third-Order. I once bestowed a portion of the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement Art upon it."
"According to this calculation, that Azure Horned Dragon should have reached the Late Stage of Rank Three, right?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Qin Ming, but even the Devouring Heaven Rat beside him was stunned.
Then according to this, the Golden Toad Ancestor's words were not entirely spouting nonsense.
"Master, I didn't expect the Blue-Faced Poisonous Dragon's Strength to improve by leaps and bounds. It turns out there was such a reason."
"No wonder it could Breakthrough to the Late Stage of Rank Three."
The Devouring Heaven Rat couldn't help but secretly transmit sound.
"Yes, but… what the Treasure Spirit said is also right, we can't release it."
"With the Cultivation Strength of the Golden Toad Ancestor, even if it has fallen to the Early Third-Order, you and I are likely not its Opponent."
Qin Ming secretly transmitted sound.
Just at this moment.
Suddenly.
A voice suddenly sounded in Qin Ming's mind.
"The Heavenly Demon Body Refinement Art is not on the Golden Toad. With its Bloodline, it simply doesn't have the Qualification to Cultivation it."
"That Poisonous Dragon's Cultivation Method was not given by the Golden Toad, but by me."
"If you want the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement Art, you can exchange something with me after you go out."
The Treasure Spirit of the Comma Jade Golden Light Mirror said indifferently to Qin Ming.
Qin Ming's eyes flickered incessantly when he heard this. For a moment, he didn't know who to believe.
However, he soon had an idea.
"Since you say so, how do you prove that the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement Art is on you?" Qin Ming asked the Treasure Spirit.
"That Beast Hide Scripture is indeed not on me, but I can show you a small part of the Cultivation Method content."
After the Treasure Spirit finished speaking, it showed a section of text in Qin Ming's mind.
Qin Ming used his Divine Sense to look inward.
In his mind, it was Seal Script exactly the same as on his Beast Hide Scripture, and the beginning section of Scripture was the 'Qi and Blood Embracing Core' of the Core Formation Chapter of the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement Art, and the opening introduction to condensing the True Core.
After Qin Ming read it, his Mental Focus was extremely excited, but he pretended to be indifferent on the surface.
"Then it will be as you say, we'll talk about it after we get out of this place." Qin Ming had already believed most of the Treasure Spirit's words in his heart.
From this, it could be seen.
On the contrary, the Golden Toad Ancestor opposite was not telling a single truth. It was mostly trying to use him to help it escape its predicament.
After it escaped, the ending didn't even need to be guessed.
The Golden Toad Ancestor in the Black Cave seemed to have also noticed something was wrong. It clearly saw that the Human Clan kid was about to agree to it, but in just a short while, he seemed to have changed his mind.
With its cunning mind as an Old Ancestor, it only needed to think slightly to instantly understand what was happening.
The Golden Toad Ancestor, in its old age, instantly swelled in size, reverting to its original terrifying Demonic Beast form.
It roared angrily, and its giant claws hammered on the black iron pillars, yelling madly, "Golden Spirit Child! You dare to ruin my good deeds!"
"Damn it! This king will tear you into ten thousand pieces!"
"Ahhh!"
The Golden Toad Ancestor was so angry that it stomped its feet in anger, but it was blocked by the black iron pillars and was helpless against Qin Ming.
Seeing the Golden Toad Ancestor's such large emotional fluctuations, Qin Ming became even more certain that what the Treasure Spirit said was most likely true.
He then said to the Treasure Spirit, "Do you have a way to get out of here?"
"No, the Restrictions here are quite special. You have to find a way yourself." The Treasure Spirit said bluntly.
Qin Ming: "..."
He thought for a while, then asked the Devouring Heaven Rat, "Can you handle it? If we can escape this time, I will credit you with a great merit after we go out!"
The Devouring Heaven Rat jolted when he heard this, and said as if injected with chicken blood, "Master, Rest Assured, putting aside everything else, when it comes to digging, This Grand Sire is quite confident."
After saying that, the Devouring Heaven Rat turned around and walked to the invisible Barrier, using its Innate Mystical Power, Forbidden Severing Mysterious Light, to break the Restriction.
Black Mysterious Light was unceasingly spat out from the Devouring Heaven Rat's mouth and landed on the Barrier.
An hour later.
The Devouring Heaven Rat, sweating profusely and feeling exhausted and weak, said, "Damn it, Master, the Grade of this Barrier is a bit high. It is estimated to have reached the Peak Third Order Level."
"Although my Mystical Power has some effect, it will take some time to break it open."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this, "There is no other way under the current circumstances. You have to work hard."
After he said that, he took out a Spirit Transformation Demon Fruit and gave it to the Devouring Heaven Rat to recover its condition.
The moment the Devouring Heaven Rat took the Demon Fruit, it directly changed from a dying state to being full of vigor. After taking the Spirit Transformation Demon Fruit, it immediately started working non-stop, digging at the Barrier.
It would only sit down to recover for a while after its Demon Power was exhausted.
Repeating this cycle, the invisible Barrier in the Valley gradually developed a small Cave Entrance under the Devouring Heaven Rat's persistent efforts.
From the initial size of a needle's eye, it grew to the size of a fist.
The Golden Toad Ancestor in the Black Cave, seeing that Qin Ming actually had a way to escape from this damn place.
It immediately became even more flustered and exasperated, and flew into a rage.
It kept hammering the iron pillars, "Damn ants!"
Half a month later.
The Devouring Heaven Rat finally opened up a large Cave Entrance in the Valley's Barrier, large enough for a person to pass through.
"Oh, my heavens! This Grand Sire was almost exhausted to death!" The Devouring Heaven Rat collapsed onto the ground.
"Well done!"
Qin Ming patted its head in excitement.
"Without delay, let's leave quickly."
After Qin Ming said that, he fed it a recovery Pill, and put all three Spirit Pets into the Spirit Beast Pouch.
He glanced at the Golden Toad Ancestor in the Black Cave, whose face was filled with resentment and viciousness, and then crawled out from the Cave Entrance dug by the Devouring Heaven Rat.
He left this place of trouble without looking back.
After Qin Ming exited the Gorge, he deployed a Mana Shield and swam directly out from the Lake Bottom of Tai Lake.
Half an hour later.
Fresh air rushed into Qin Ming's nostrils again.
"Huff~"
"Finally out!"
Qin Ming took a deep breath of the outside air, feeling a sense of relief.
Although this trip had some twists and turns in the middle, it was still considered smooth. The crucial Comma Jade Golden Light Mirror Treasure Spirit was also obtained by him.
And he also had an unexpected gain, which was that the Subsequent Cultivation Method of the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement Art was actually in the Treasure Spirit's hands!
This Demon Clan Sacred Text that Qin Ming had yearned for day and night also had a prospect.
The moment Qin Ming emerged from the Lake Surface, there were many Fishermen in the surrounding Lake Region catching Fish Catch here.
When everyone saw a person suddenly emerge from the Lake Bottom, they were all startled, thinking that some Lake Demon had appeared.
"Not good, we have to leave here quickly."
Just as Qin Ming was feeling emotional, the Treasure Spirit Golden Spirit Child in the Storage Bag suddenly said.
In the past half month in the Gorge and ravine, Qin Ming had also learned the Treasure Spirit's name, which turned out to be 'Golden Spirit Child'.
"Oh? Why is that?"
Qin Ming asked doubtfully, hearing the Treasure Spirit's tone was a bit serious.
"You broke the Restriction of the White Bone King Palace, and soon… the supreme being inside might revive again…"
The Treasure Spirit continued in a sad tone:
"To be more precise, it should be said that my Revered Master, the previous Master of the Comma Jade Golden Light Mirror—White Bone True Person."
As soon as the Treasure Spirit's words faded.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~ Boom! Just then, the Lake Surface beneath Qin Ming suddenly began to churn, and one after another roar like evil ghosts emanated from the Lake Bottom of Tai Lake, waves dozens of yards high surged into the Sky!
Qin Ming quickly flew away from the Lake Surface, and looked in shock at everything before him.
As the Lake Surface exploded, dense Yin Fiend Qi surged out like a tide, and a white radiance filled with death energy shot straight into the Horizon from the Gorge and ravine at the Lake Bottom.
Above the Sky of Tai Lake, a spiral Dark Cloud condensed, Demonic Thunder surrounded it, flickered erratically, emitting a soul-seizing Might.
The white light shooting out from the Lake Bottom connected with the Dark Cloud in the Sky, stirring the abyss deep within the Lake Bottom.
Countless wails of ghosts and howls of wolves echoed continuously, as for those Cultivators who came here for Monster Hunting.
Seeing such a doomsday-like scene.
Before they could escape for their lives, they were swept up by the Demonic Qi Gale condensed from the Dark Cloud, instantly swept into it, and torn to pieces.
The Cultivation Families around Tai Lake and Rogue Cultivators who came here for Monster Hunting and treasure seeking all saw this earth-shattering scene from afar.
They flew into the Sky one after another.
They were all dumbfounded, staring at the astonishing changes above Tai Lake.
"Heavens! What exactly is happening with this Heaven and Earth Anomaly?"
"Look quickly! It looks like something is about to be born from the bottom of Tai Lake!"
"That's not right! Such dense Yin Fiend Qi, I'm afraid the situation is not quite right."
"This old man has lived in Tai Lake for over a hundred years, and this is the first time I've seen such an abnormal Celestial Phenomenon."
"Quickly send a message to report to the Sect, a shocking Phenomenon has emerged within Tai Lake in Jing Province!"
Looking at the "masterpiece" he had single-handedly created, Qin Ming only watched for a moment, then left here without looking back.
