Chapter 459: Divergence 266-2

Ning Yuesu asked, "Ancestor, where exactly are we, and what have you experienced?"

Ning Chaohong sighed lightly and, with reluctance, said, "I’m not sure where this place is. My friend and I passed through the Restricted Zone Gate and ended up here."

Afterward, we encountered one flesh monster after another, constantly battling them.

In the end, my friend died from exhaustion, and I was severely injured and ended up unconscious on this stone platform.

I never expected to wake up and see you all."

Ning Yuesu involuntarily held her breath, her face filled with disbelief.

The ancestor had slept for over two hundred years; it was too incredible.

Ning Yuesu continued, "Ancestor, can you still stand up? How can I rescue you?"

Ning Chaohong gave a wry smile and said in despair, "It’s too late, my body has already been assimilated by these wriggling flesh; now, except for my head, my entire body has transformed into flesh tissue."

"..."

Ning Yuesu couldn’t help feeling sorrowful and heartbroken.

At that moment, Ning Chaohong turned his gaze and glanced sideways at Fang Zhixing, suddenly noticing the Ancient Copper Spear, his face showing a trace of sadness.

"That is my friend Gongxi Hao’s weapon, the Jinghong Spear; he once held the position of deputy general among the Wolf Riders, with a boundless future."

Alas, just because I needed a powerful companion, I persuaded him to enter the Restricted Zone Gate with me, ultimately causing his death."

Fang Zhixing thought to himself, ’as expected,’ and said, "Senior, did you find anything here?"

Ning Chaohong twisted his neck, looking toward one side of the great hall, and answered, "There are three statues over there. I didn’t have the chance to take a close look before I passed out; go and see for yourselves, maybe you’ll find something."

Fang Zhixing and Ning Yuesu immediately walked over.

As the firelight illuminated the way forward, beneath the circular wall, three bulging flesh mounds faintly appeared.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing swung the Jinghong Spear three times.

Swish, swish, swish~

Three cracks appeared, the flesh peeled open!

Immediately, three tall statues were revealed.

Fang Zhixing quickly scanned them.

The first statue was very familiar; it was indeed a Mechanical Man, complete with full armor exterior.

The second statue was a fierce monster with fangs, tentacles, scales, a tail, and wings.

The third statue, however, was a normal human, standing tall and mighty.

"What do these three statues represent?" Ning Yuesu asked, puzzled.

Fang Zhixing observed for a moment and then swung the Jinghong Spear again, slicing open the base of the statues.

Instantly, three distinctively styled bases were revealed.

The mechanical base was square and very uniform.

On the outer side, it was engraved with text, reading:

"Flesh is weak, Mechanical Ascension!"

Fang Zhixing raised an eyebrow and then looked toward the base of the monster statue.

That base was very eerie, constructed from human skulls and ribs.

The bones were also engraved with text:

"Infinite reproduction, Saintification!"

Fang Zhixing thoughtfully looked again at the third human statue’s base.

It was a beautifully crafted Lotus Base, with an air of immortal energy, sacred and majestic.

The engraved text was strikingly:

"Material is feeble, Heavenly People forever!"

"Heavenly People?!"

Fang Zhixing stared deeply for a moment at the human statue on the Lotus Base, then realized it represented the Heavenly People!

Mechanical Man, monster, Heavenly People!

Fang Zhixing couldn’t decipher the significance of these three statues at the moment.

However, he quickly recalled what Ji Xiangjun had mentioned, that ascending to the Hundred Cows Realm had three paths.

Could these three statues be...?

Just then, Ning Yuesu walked up to the Mechanical Man statue, curiously examining it.

She had never seen this style of sculpture before, utterly unfamiliar and utterly novel.

While looking, she couldn’t help but reach out and touch it.

Hum~

Suddenly, the Mechanical Man statue vibrated, and its surface lit up with a faint glow.

Ning Yuesu was startled and pulled Fang Zhixing back a few steps.

The two then saw that the surface of the Mechanical Man statue displayed crisscrossing lines of light, resembling a design diagram of electronic chips.

Finally, all the lines converged towards the head.

The eyes of the Mechanical Man statue suddenly lit up, projecting two beams of light onto Ning Yuesu.

The beams moved up and down, scanning Ning Yuesu’s entire body.

The next moment, a line of text appeared at the base’s lowest part.

Physical strength: Peak of Nine Ox Realm

Mechanical Ascension: High compatibility, can be converted to Cold Ice Series

Seeing this, Ning Yuesu exclaimed, "How does the statue know my cultivation?"

Fang Zhixing remained silent for a moment then touched the statue as well.

Two beams of light immediately shone on him, scanning back and forth twice.

New text appeared on the base:

Physical strength: Limit of Nine Ox Realm

Mechanical Ascension: Extremely high compatibility, can undergo Platinum Conversion

From the results alone, the Mechanical Man statue accurately judged that Fang Zhixing was far superior to Ning Yuesu.

Fang Zhixing, deep in thought, then walked to the monster statue and touched it.

Hum~

The monster statue also began to vibrate, its surface erupting with scarlet light.

After a while, a line of brief text appeared on the base.

Saintification: High talent

Ning Yuesu then stretched out her hand and touched the monster statue.

She looked down at the base, which displayed the text:

"Saintification: Weak physical body, not qualified."

Ning Yuesu paused, then chuckled, "Well, it seems I’m not qualified for Saintification."

Fang Zhixing replied, "These three statues seem to be some kind of device for assessing individual talents."

The two quickly moved to the Heavenly People statue.

Ning Yuesu touched it first.

Hum!

The Heavenly People statue abruptly shuddered a few times, bursting forth with brilliant white light, imbued with a sacred significance.

The Lotus Base displayed a line of text:
