Chapter 2723: Chapter 2: Shouzhe Receives the Sacred Image! Innate Taoist Child_2

After all, what if it had worked?

Unfortunately, Yu Wushuang never got to meet that ”what if.”

”Senior Yu Wushuang left behind some relics and his remains, as well as a letter, plus some treasures he took from home when he was a kid and ran away. He hopes we can send those odds and ends and his remains back to the Sacred Domain. According to Senior Yu Wushuang’s letter, he wasn’t actually from the Tianxing Gui Family proper, but from one of Tianxing Gui Family’s tiny offshoot branches. Back then the strongest Old Ancestor of his branch was only in the Void Realm.” Wang Anye said with regret, ”It’s a pity, such a pity. With Senior Yu’s Talent and brilliance, if he’d had a chance to become a Sacred Supreme, he might not have been without a chance to uncover the secret of the Life restricted area.”

But saying all this now doesn’t really mean anything~ In the end, it’s a story from a hundred thousand years ago, everything long since settled.

When you get down to it, if Yu Wushuang had succeeded back then, the Divine Martial World wouldn’t look like it does today.

”Since that’s the case, Anye, after you rest for two years, go take care of this. If conditions allow, look after that family a little.” Wang Shouzhe said, ”Senior Yu also gave his life for the Divine Martial World.”

”Yes, great grandfather.” Wang Anye responded.

”Great grandfather, I’ll go with you.” In Wang Baosheng’s eyes, his thoughts were surging; his expression carried a faint sadness.

”Mm.”

Wang Anye nodded slightly. Naturally, he understood why he was reacting like this.

Sighing silently in his heart, he continued, ”After I collected Senior Yu’s bones and relics, I began to explore deeper together with Old Ancestor Chenlun and Cai Tribute, and we ended up running into two terrifying Level Sixteen Void lifeforms...”

”One of them was a Level Sixteen Void Netherworld Giant Python, and the other was a Void fire-type True Phoenix-type lifeform.”

As Wang Anye recounted this, Wang Shouzhe was somewhat shocked as well.

The Void Sea really is full of danger everywhere; Level Sixteen wild Void lifeforms, those are proper big bosses~ Any one of them descending on the Divine Martial World would be a colossal catastrophe.

The Life restricted area isn’t exactly close to the Divine Martial World, but it’s not that far either.

The direction of the Life restricted area is just opposite to the Realm of Ruin. You first have to go upstream along the Sky-river Cloud Sky for about a hundred years of travel, then leave the range of the Sky-river Cloud Sky and head into the endless Dark Void Sea for about thirty years of travel.

Traveling along the Tianhe is dangerous too, but with the river as a reference, you’re not too likely to lose your way. Heading into that endless dark Void, though, is extremely dangerous; once you go too deep you might completely lose your bearings, and could even run into immense dangers.

Back then, Qing Huang was also being hunted so badly he fled in panic and only stumbled upon the Life restricted area by accident.

Of course, that’s the outbound journey. Coming back to the Divine Martial World is much faster: you only need to head toward the Sky-river Cloud Sky for thirty years, then go downstream along the Sky-river Cloud Sky, and in just thirty years you can reach the Divine Martial World.

So if everything goes smoothly, the trip there takes a hundred and thirty years, while the trip back only takes sixty. For Wang Anye and his group, the whole round trip only took two hundred years, which shows that everything went smoothly for them.

”Those powerful Void lifeforms were probably drawn in by the Life restricted area’s source power.” Wang Shouzhe speculated. ”As long as that source power is still there, under normal circumstances they won’t leave. But we can’t just ignore it either. Anye, when you head to the Sacred Domain this time, contact your Master, Sacred Supreme of a Thousand Formations. We’ll build a few more gigantic, high‑power Defensive Arrays in that direction.”

Void Formations are all very expensive, each one costing at least a dozen to several dozen Chaos Spirit Stones, with a price comparable to a Sacred Artifact, but no matter how expensive they are, they have to be built.

Besides, the Wang family today is no longer what it used to be. Their economic strength grows year by year. If they grit their teeth, they can still build some Defense Arrays.

”Understood.” Wang Anye nodded in agreement, then went on, ”After we ran into danger, we started our return according to great grandfather’s instructions. But in the Fallen Star belt near the restricted area, I ’accidentally’ picked up a battered medium Void Shuttle. The shuttle was pure white and luminous all over, as if it were made of jade.”

”Inside the shuttle, we found some items left behind by the Void Shuttle’s owner, including a Light‑attribute Sacred Sword... three Light Saint Feathers, a piece of Light Blood Jade preliminarily judged to be at Level Fifteen, and some miscellaneous resources.”

”Later on, as we were heading downstream along the Nine Heavens River, we also picked up a lump of Chaos Essence, some Chaos Spirit Stones, some Chaos Origin...”

”...” Wang Shouzhe was speechless for a moment.

This really does sound like classic Wang Anye~

Send him out just to bring back the Wang family’s lost Azure Emperor Holy Diagram, and the treasures he happens to pick up along the way end up being worth more than the Azure Emperor Holy Diagram itself...

Leaving other things aside, just that piece of Level Fifteen Light Blood Jade alone is a supreme exclusive treasure of the Winged Human Tribe, its value no less than the Sacred Image.

However, since this thing is an exclusive inheritance treasure of the Winged Human Tribe, it naturally meshes best with the Bloodline of the Winged Human Tribe. For the Human race to try to comprehend the Light Blood Jade and walk out onto the Sacred Path of Light is anything but easy.

After all, this thing is not like the Atana Tribe’s Crystal Core.

When the Crystal Ancient Tribe tailored a cultivation system for the Atana Tribe, they referenced the Human race’s cultivation system from the start. That’s why the Atana Tribe’s Heritage Crystal Core and the Bloodline of the Human race have a natural degree of compatibility. On top of that, the Atana Tribe follows a moderate Xuan Yuan cultivation system, which is what gives it such broad adaptability.
