Chapter 547: Chapter 541 Crystal Clear Bones (4 more updates)

After taking a deep breath, Su Chen asked, "Aren’t there only sixty-four Destiny Nodes? With her talent, it seems she wouldn’t need three years to fully comprehend them, right?"

"Indeed, there are sixty-four Destiny Nodes, but that’s for regular Martial Cultivators. Some monsters, who appear once in a billion years, can create additional Destiny Nodes and consolidate them within the sixty nodes, reaching seventy nodes, eighty nodes, or even a hundred," the elder explained.

Su Chen’s mouth twitched.

Qin Zhengzhong continued, "It is said that Jun Luoying has already comprehended one hundred twenty-eight nodes, and she hasn’t reached her limit yet. Therefore, her strength—let’s not even talk about ordinary Half-Step Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouses—even I dare not claim I could defeat her."

Su Chen was speechless. Was there even a point in competing?

"Tell me, with Jun Luoying here, could the first place go to anyone else? Any reward for first place is essentially destined for Jun Luoying!" Qin Zhengzhong said with a laugh: "Kid, do you have the confidence to snatch it from her hands?"

"I’ll try!" Su Chen furrowed his brow. What if he included the power of Jiuyou? Could he compete at the Second Level of the Fate Realm? At the third level... cough cough.

"If you truly can’t secure first place, then second or third aren’t bad either. They also come with rewards. Of course, it won’t be easy, Cheng Yue and a few others are also quite monstrous," Qin Zhengzhong said, smiling.

"Old man, I’ll do my best," Su Chen nodded.

Qin Zhengzhong then took out a Beast Skin Booklet: "In this booklet, there’s detailed information about all the participants in this Qiu Qing exchange competition. Take a look."

"Thank you, elder!" Su Chen received it, knowing that this Beast Skin Booklet was very important to him. Knowing one’s enemies and oneself ensures no peril in battles.

"Because of your relationship with Li Er, I’m giving you a fine gift!" the next second, Qin Zhengzhong stood up and approached his bookshelf.

"Elder, there’s nothing between Li Er and me!" Su Chen said awkwardly. According to Qin Zhengzhong, accepting this gift would mean accepting his relationship with Qin Li, although he didn’t dislike Qin Li. However, having only interacted for one day... it was too fast? He couldn’t accept, especially since he didn’t like attachments formed through transactions.

"Haha... Kid, Li Er has taken a liking to you, you can’t escape! I trust my granddaughter!" Qin Zhengzhong chuckled.

"What?" Su Chen was speechless.

"Don’t be surprised. Although Li Er is young and likes to cause trouble, over the years, once she truly likes something, she’ll stick to it. Not even ten dragons could pull her back," Qin Zhengzhong said earnestly as he gazed deeply at Su Chen: "So, even if you aren’t my grandson-in-law now, you will be in the future."

Su Chen had a headache.

The next moment, Qin Zhengzhong walked over with a box and placed it in front of Su Chen.

"Open it!" Qin Zhengzhong demanded solemnly.

"What is it?" Su Chen was curious.

"Open it and you’ll see. It won’t disappoint you."

Su Chen stared at the box, which was made of metal and adorned with many complicated, exquisite patterns, as well as some spots tarnished by time.

It looked very ancient.

The box must have been made from a very special material because Su Chen found he couldn’t peer into it with his Divine Soul or Eye Power.

He slowly opened the metallic box.

And then.

What caught his eye was a bone!!!

A crystal-clear bone.

The bone still shimmered with a faint silvery-white light.

"It’s said that this bone was found in a place called the Battle Tomb, it’s the beast bone of a Demon Beast!" Qin Zhengzhong said solemnly, "Three thousand years ago, a severely injured person descended from the sky and was discovered by this old man. Before he died, he handed me this box, telling me to give this bone to a worthy genius in the future."

"What is the function of this bone? Which Demon Beast’s bone is it?" Su Chen stared at the crystal-clear bone in the box, his expression very grave, because his Divine Mansion was actually trembling.

Anything that could make the Divine Mansion tremble was undoubtedly a Supreme Treasure!

"I don’t know, that person only told this old man that this bone was a coveted treasure among the ancient gods of the Leaving Heaven Realm!" Qin Zhengzhong said solemnly.

"Leaving Heaven Realm?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Planes are divided into lower, middle, and advanced; Divine Martial Continent is a Mid Martial Plane, while the Leaving Heaven Realm is an Advanced Martial Plane!"

"Is the old man saying that this bone might have come from an advanced plane?"

"Yes!" Qin Zhengzhong said, "Actually, at first, I didn’t quite believe it either, but later, as time passed and I repeatedly studied this bone, I had no choice but to believe."

As he spoke, Qin Zhengzhong suddenly held a sword in his hand.

The sword was a Middle-grade Divine Artifact.

"This sword is still extremely sharp!" Qin Zhengzhong said with a smile, then he suddenly thrust his sword, aiming directly at the bone in the box.

Moreover, Qin Zhengzhong had clearly used all his Strength, as the fluctuations of the Fate Realm Third Level were very clear.

Clang!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the sword tip contacted the bone.

To Su Chen’s astonishment, that crystal-clear bone didn’t even have a single mark on it!!!

Even more stern, Su Chen’s facial expression became heavier, and he even opened his mouth slightly.

"Boy, I am giving you this bone segment, then tonight, you fuse with it!" Qin Zhengzhong said seriously, "After you fuse this bone, even if you can’t capture first place tomorrow, securing the second or third place should still be within reach."

"How can I fuse with such a hard bone?" Su Chen said with a wry smile.

"Before that mysterious person died, he gave me a piece of Secret Incantation and told me just to silently operate this Secret Incantation and then bury the bone in my arm, and it would fuse with the existing bones in my arm!"

"Why didn’t the old man himself fuse with it?"

"Dare not!" Qin Zhengzhong’s voice became grave, "That mysterious man solemnly warned me before he died that my talent for martial cultivation was not enough to fuse with this bone, and if I forcibly did so, even if it was successful, my bloodline couldn’t sustain it and would instead be rebounded against."

"Does the old man think I can do it?"

"It should be possible!" Qin Zhengzhong said solemnly, "I am also not certain, but any strange encounter and gain requires taking risks, and of course, if you’re unwilling to take the risk, this old man will not force you!"

"Old man, if I fuse with this bone, what other price must I pay? I believe that this beast bone, coveted by the ancient gods of the Leaving Heaven Realm, is not so easy to obtain. Surely the mysterious person from three thousand years ago didn’t have any conditions?" Su Chen asked, understanding that there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Qin Zhengzhong nodded approvingly, "Exactly, boy, you guessed right. That person indeed had a condition. He told me that whoever successfully fuses with this beast bone, if they can one day ascend into the Leaving Heaven Realm, must make a trip to the Mountain of Life and Death to guide the reincarnated Divine Soul of that mysterious man."

"What does that mean?"

"The specifics, this old man also doesn’t understand. That mysterious person said that once you go to the Mountain of Life and Death in the Leaving Heaven Realm, all will be understood."
