Chapter 820: Chapter 601: The 3rd Brick_2
Li Qianluo suddenly remembered something and said, "No, no! I mistook you, but you didn’t correct me! Instead, you went along with my misunderstanding, pretending to be a cultivator from the Congji abyss, obviously you’re hiding something from me too, right? Let’s just call it even."
Xiang Beifei gave no reply.
"So where are you from? Why does the Night Demon fear you so much?" Xiang Beifei inquired.
Li Qianluo chuckled and said, "Ah, where I come from doesn’t matter, the important thing is, we get along well, don’t we?"
Xiang Beifei smiled, not pressing further. Everyone has their own secrets, and if one doesn’t want to talk about it, dropping the subject is for the best.
After a moment, Xiang Beifei asked again, "Did you get the three fragments from the Night Demon?"
Li Qianluo was slightly taken aback, her eyes showing a hint of intrigue as she said, "You know about the Saint Stone fragments?"
"What do you think?"
"It’s strange, how do you know?"
"It’s a long story."
"Keep it short then."
"Perception."
Li Qianluo was surprised: "That’s strange."
"What’s so strange about it?"
"Because I can’t even perceive the Saint Stone fragments on the Night Demon," Li Qianluo said.
"That’s just you." Xiang Beifei didn’t intend to reveal anything about the old Giant Spirit.
Li Qianluo placed a finger on her chin, saying, "Your perception ability is that strong? Strange, I don’t remember the Human Race having such formidable perception abilities."
Xiang Beifei raised an eyebrow.
Li Qianluo grinned: "That’s right, I guessed you’re from the Human Race, that mysterious Hanxia Human Race that disappeared over three thousand years ago. You’ve always been stuff of legends!"
She couldn’t help but reach out and poke Xiang Beifei’s arm.
"What are you doing?"
"I’m poking to see if the muscle of the Human Race is firm. I’ve always been curious about the vanished Human Race."
"You look the same as me, why not poke yourself?" Xiang Beifei said.
"We’re a bit different." Li Qianluo chuckled.
"How so?"
"I’m not part of the Human Race." Li Qianluo blinked.
Xiang Beifei fell into a slight contemplation, then asked again, "Where did you and the Night Demon obtain the Saint Stone fragments from?"
Li Qianluo shook her head, "Sorry, I can’t tell you."
After a moment, she curiously asked, "Why are you so concerned with the Saint Stone fragments? How much do you know about them?"
"They’re important to me," Xiang Beifei didn’t hide it, "They’re related to my family, so I’ve been searching for them."
"I see."
Li Qianluo nodded thoughtfully, and then openly took out several Saint Stone fragments. The slate in her hand splintered into eight pieces, and although she pieced them together, they merely fit together and still had cracks.
She gently pried it a little, and the slate broke apart.
"Restoring this thing is quite problematic, perhaps some special object is needed to repair it, or strong power, in any case, it’s beyond what our strength can achieve."
Li Qianluo then stacked the pieces of slate like building blocks.
"What kind of power could shatter a slate like this?" Xiang Beifei couldn’t help but ask.
"I’m pondering it too, understanding that the Saint Stone is a legendary and extremely powerful artifact," Li Qianluo said with great astonishment while discussing the slate.
"How powerful?" Xiang Beifei queried.
"I can’t describe it, as I haven’t seen it unleash its power, just heard about it. But you can imagine that the Saint Stone could change the world, and that’s not an exaggeration," Li Qianluo earnestly said.
"Can just a piece of slate change the world?" Xiang Beifei exclaimed.
"It’s not a slate! It’s called the Saint Stone! It’s not just one, it’s five! Legend says it’s something that even the gods of the Edge Corner Airspace fear, that it can restrain the gods, having five means having the power to confront the gods, its power is very mysterious and needs a special method to be unleashed, you wouldn’t understand." Li Qianluo sternly corrected him.
"Even gods fear five pieces of slate?"
"Yes, if you possess five bricks, the power would be terrifying."
"But it’s shattered."
"Uh..."
Li Qianluo didn’t know how to respond to this question.
"Do you think it was destroyed by a divine being?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"Impossible! The divine beings in the Edge Corner Airspace cannot destroy it." Li Qianluo flatly denied.
"You seem to know a lot about the power of divine beings?"
"Uh... well..." Li Qianluo hesitated, then blinked his eyes and said, "Someone in my family described it to me, they once went to the Edge Corner Airspace and witnessed the clash of divine beings, speaking of which—"
Li Qianluo suddenly remembered something and asked, "What about your broken stone sword? Its aura belongs to the Edge Corner Airspace, you’ve been to Edge Corner Airspace?"
"It was given by a senior."
"Who is this senior?" Li Qianluo curiously pursued, "Did he go to the Edge Corner Airspace? Or is he a divine being from Edge Corner Airspace?"
"I cannot disclose." Xiang Beifei said.
Li Qianluo shrugged indifferently, but did not ask further.
At this moment, ripples suddenly appeared in the Ruishui River, and Xiaohei’s head emerged from the water, excitedly paddling on the surface.
"Woof woof woof!" Xiaohei stretched out its paw, revealing two spiritual power crystals imbued with immense power.
These were spiritual power crystals from the late stage of Heavenly Connection!
It seems Xiaohei successfully defeated the tormented Xuwang and Flaming Six Wings, having completely resolved them.
Xiaohei quickly swam to the shore from the Ruishui River, shaking his head clean of the Ruishui River’s water. Despite the dreaded Ruishui River that could intimidate cultivators, it hadn’t harmed even a hair on Xiaohei.
But Xiaohei didn’t just obtain two late Heavenly Connection spiritual power crystals from the Ruishui River, but also more than ten early and middle Heavenly Connection ones.
"Woof woof woof!"
Xiaohei indicated that at the riverbed, he also saw Kouchjenyu and Jiao Yingguang still in agonizing torment, and he released them as well.
Both Kouchjenyu and Xuwang had transplanted human system dao embryos inside them, especially Xuwang, who had seven systems transplanted. However, when facing Xiang Beifei earlier, he felt Xiang Beifei was too familiar with system capabilities, so he didn’t use them.
But even without using them, they were still retrieved by Xiaohei.
Xiaohei flew to Xiang Beifei’s side, curiously looking at the fragmented brick full of cracks in Li Qianluo’s hand, woofing towards Xiang Beifei.
"Can I take a look at your sacred stone fragment?" Xiang Beifei asked Li Qianluo.
"Sure."
Li Qianluo wasn’t worried about Xiang Beifei snatching it away, so he handed the broken brick to Xiang Beifei.
A glow appeared in Xiang Beifei’s hand, and the aura of Return to the Original State acted on the brick, but he quickly found that Return to the Original State couldn’t be used to repair the brick, as the brick was impervious to the aura of Return to the Original State.
"It’s useless. Something that can restrain divine beings cannot be repaired by you... by cultivators of our realm." Li Qianluo said.
Xiang Beifei did not respond, only pondered slightly. After a moment, he suddenly thought of something and signaled Xiaohei: "You knock on the brick and pass the golden formation pattern to me."
Li Qianluo couldn’t see Xiaohei’s presence, so it was better for Xiaohei to perform it on the brick. Xiang Beifei didn’t want Li Qianluo to know he had two bricks to avoid trouble. He just wanted to give it a try.
"Woof!"
Xiaohei knocked on the brick behind Xiang Beifei, and the golden formation pattern immediately spread along the brick onto Xiang Beifei, quickly flowing through his fingers to the fragmented brick.
Buzz!
A mystical humming sound, distant and ancient, primitive and vast, as if from an ancient strike crossing through the boundless times, causing one’s soul to shake.
Li Qianluo involuntarily shivered, then stared in shock at the fragmented brick in Xiang Beifei’s hand.
The cracks on the brick suddenly started to emit golden light, radiant and pure, like molten gold coating the cracks. Immediately, eight small fragments, as if melting, continuously devoured the formation pattern from Xiang Beifei.
More and more golden formation patterns flowed from Xiang Beifei to the cracks, and then suddenly, there was a crisp resonance.
Buzz!
Li Qianluo was startled by this sound, jumping back several steps, seemingly very apprehensive.
At this moment, the cracks on the sacred stone in Xiang Beifei’s hand completely disappeared, restored to a simple, plain rectangular brick!
