Divine Lucky Star-Chapter 183 - Dust Bead

Chapter 183 -183 Dust Bead

At this point, Wang Hao glanced at the corpse of Cao Cao…

A generation’s mighty overlord, who soared high with power, ended up so solitary in death?

The group sighed together for a while before Fang Wenbin thought for a moment and said, “Hang on, Brother Hao, shouldn’t this place have been within Eastern Wu’s territory during the Three Kingdoms period? He buried himself in Eastern Wu’s land?”

It must be said, his question hit the nail on the head!

This area was indeed within Eastern Wu territory during the Three Kingdoms era, so would Cao Cao have buried himself here?

“Cao Cao was not ordinarily suspicious,” Wang Hao said with a smile, “So as the saying goes, the most dangerous place can also be the safest. With seventy-three fake tombs outside, who would have thought his real body would actually be buried here?”

Everyone nodded together, “Makes sense!”

“Brother Hao, if you’re saying this tomb is the real burial site of Cao Cao,” Fang Wenbin pointed toward the corpse of Cao Cao on the platform in front and said, “then what do you think is the most valuable thing here?”

With that said, everyone’s eyes were drawn to the hat on Cao Cao’s head.

“Hard to say,” Wang Hao shook his head, “This is the real tomb of Cao Cao, so there definitely are treasures here. Let’s not rush this; I will observe first and see what we find.”

His intuition told him that Dice Bro had caused such a big commotion today and had led him here; the ultimate target had to be the large gemstone on the hat worn by Cao Cao.

“Let me take a closer look.” Wang Hao approached the platform and walked around it once.

Then he took a careful look at the gemstone on Cao Cao’s hat…

This look was a revelation—he felt as if a flood of information burst forth in his mind, and when this information was fully absorbed, he was even more astonished!

The stone turned out to be no ordinary thing, but a legendary item!

Dust bead!

The Dust bead, also known as the Phoenix Gall, is a type of natural jade bead, the size of a chicken egg, fiery red throughout, impervious to all poisons, and known for its yang-enhancing and yin-dispelling properties. According to legend, the Phoenix Gall contains the essence of blazing flames and is a supreme yang item of heaven and earth.

Some say it was left by the Yellow Emperor during his ascension, others believe it comes from a thousand zhang beneath the earth, transformed by the Earth Mother into ancient jade over tens of thousands of years, while some others claim it is formed by the Spiritual Energy of the Phoenix. Amid these various legends, none can be confirmed as true, yet its shape closely resembles the human eyeball, making it a unique treasure in the world.

Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it was believed that one could use this Divine Artifact to attain immortality, achieving a complete metamorphosis, but it required a special location to unleash its power. Zhou Wenwang once recorded these details in the Book of Heaven.

The Dust bead, the Dust Avoiding Pearl, and the Red Pill are three Divine Beads that have appeared multiple times in the annals of history. Among them, the Dust bead was later used for burial with Emperor Wu of Han. Afterward, Mao Mausoleum was desecrated by peasants, and its whereabouts became unknown, yet to think it would be here!

“It is actually the Dust bead!” Wang Hao muttered to himself, “This is really hitting the jackpot…”

As he was reflecting, he suddenly felt his lucky dice in his pocket vibrating, and a red ray shot out from the Dust bead, directly entering his forehead!

What the hell is this?!

Wang Hao was shocked and instinctively wanted to dodge, but to his surprise, although he wanted to move, his body did not seem to obey his command, and his consciousness felt as if it had detached from his body!

“Hiss-hiss—” Wang Hao heard a very faint hissing in his ears, and after a short while, the transmission of the red ray was completed, and everything returned to normal.

“What’s going on? What just happened?” Wang Hao looked around again but didn’t notice anything unusual…

“No, wait!” After a careful examination, Wang Hao suddenly realized that his vision and hearing had significantly improved compared to before, and even his physical strength felt like it had increased a lot!

“Can this thing actually improve one’s physique?!” This was an absolute surprise. Initially, he was just an ordinary person, only slightly above average in all aspects. Who would have thought that the Luck dice could have such a function, to absorb spiritual energy from such legendary items!

He used to barely make out objects in the dark, but now there was an obvious, great improvement, and everything looked much clearer than before!

His body also felt lighter, despite carrying so many things. But now, those things seemed noticeably less heavy.

“It seems this is the biggest benefit, hehe,” Wang Hao chuckled naively: “Health is the most important!”

He felt he had absorbed a lot of energy. In fact, the overall change wasn’t huge, still within the range of a normal person, but the biggest gain was the feeling in his body—the sensation of lightness and comfort throughout, definitely a sign that every part of his body was free from any disease.

You see, health is something that you can’t buy no matter how much money you spend!

The others watched Wang Hao standing there, and Zhao Zhenhao asked with confusion, “What’s Brother Hao doing? He seemed to be dazing just now, but he quickly smiled again. What’s going on?”

“What else could it be,” Fang Wenbin seemed to think it was quite normal: “He found a great treasure.”

Everyone nodded: “Makes sense!”

“This bead is called the Dust bead,” after receiving all the information, Wang Hao began to explain: “Legend has it that Wuding, the thirty-second sovereign of the Shang dynasty, found a giant jade eye soaked in gold and a red robe in a collapsed mountain peak. Wuding believed this ancient jade eye was left by the Yellow Emperor after his transformation into an immortal, extremely precious, and named it the Dust bead, the first marvel in the world.”

“The Dust bead! It’s actually the Dust bead!” Fang Wenbin exclaimed: “Brother Hao, are you sure this is the Dust bead?!”

Of course, the man’s physique was transformed because of this thing, of course, he was sure—but of course, he couldn’t say that…

“Yeah, from what I know, it’s definitely correct.” Wang Hao nodded, then asked, “Have you heard of this thing too?”

“Of course, I’ve heard of it!” Fang Wenbin cried out: “The Dust bead, along with the Dust Avoiding Pearl and Red Pill, are the three great divine pearls repeatedly mentioned in historical records since ancient times. Their whereabouts have been unknown until now. Most of the reason I love adventuring is because of it, and I never imagined it would be here!”

Everyone was completely confused. Only now did they realize that Fang Wenbin’s love for adventure was all for this!

“I didn’t expect to find this thing here either,” Wang Hao smiled: “This object was once buried with Mao Mausoleum. Later, the Red Eyebrow Army extensively excavated, and the items from the Mao Mausoleum scattered among the people. However, according to the Mausoleum Chart recorded by Emperor Xian, the Dust bead is transformed from the Earth Mother’s Phoenix, representing the immortal cycle of life and death. Since the time of the Shang and Zhou, it has been thought to allow one to cultivate into an immortal through this divine artifact, with the effect of rebirth, but it needs a special place to unleash its power. Zhou Wenwang had recorded these details in the book of heaven.”

In “Ghost Blowing Lamp: Dragon Ridge Mysterious Cave,” there was a detailed description of the Dust bead, which Wang Hao found very surprising when he read it, never imagining he would encounter the real thing today!

And he never anticipated that he could absorb energy from the Dust bead through the Luck dice, achieving a transformation!

“Of course, these secrets have always been in the hands of the ruling class. Almost all rulers have dreamed of becoming immortals, achieving eternal life, and forever preserving their territories, so they made every effort to unravel the secrets of the Dust bead,” Wang Hao continued: “However, towards the end of the Qin dynasty, this divine object fell into Diannan, and Emperor Xian left the kingdom because he couldn’t bear to part with the Dust bead, planning to find a place in the mountains to cultivate into an immortal. The one in Mao Mausoleum was just a fake Shadow Pearl—the real Dust bead was taken by Emperor Xian after his death as a burial object and was known as the Rebirth Jade Eye Treasure Pearl in Tibet. Of course, it was then lost again.”

“Exactly,” other people listened in a daze, but Fang Wenbin, who had researched a lot, said: “I’ve checked, and Dian Kingdom was one of the three counties established by Qin, and during the chaos at the end of Qin, this region closed its borders, claiming independence and self-rule as a kingdom, which wasn’t pacified until Emperor Wu of Han. Some people from Ancient Dian Country believed in witchcraft and moved to live in the deep mountains by the Lancang River, and this group’s leader proclaimed himself Emperor Xian. If you go by the timeline, it really is possible.”

“Right,” Wang Hao smiled: “Later developments probably saw the Dust bead fall into the hands of the people and then be found by Cao Cao, ending up buried with him here. It seems our discovery today is really not small; this thing is absolutely invaluable. As long as we get it out, the benefits are definitely huge!”

Everyone nodded: “Definitely!”
