Chapter 743 Heavenly Samsara Disc
“Should I follow the little fellow to go there and have a look?”
“Achoo… Meow, I also feel that there seems to be something good… achoo… in that direction…” The Evil Moon sneezed as he voiced support for the black puppy’s action.
When the Evil Moon was just a little cute cat, he showed an extraordinary gift in treasure hunting when he took Ding Hao to search for demonic beasts for trial practice in the Snow Dragon Mountain. However, since this fellow became fat, that gift had disappeared. Ding Hao had always believed that the Evil Moon’s treasure hunting gift was based on eating, and if the target he was looking for could not be eaten, his gift would lose its effect.
“I didn’t expect that the Evil Moon would also sense something this time.”
Could it be that the so-called Three Great Divine Artifacts are edible?
In the end, Ding Hao decided to trust the black puppy.
With the black puppy leading the way in the front and the little b.u.t.terfly illuminating the way in the air, Ding Hao walked toward a pathway with a diameter of about two meters in the stone wall on the right side. The Evil Moon followed Ding Hao, keeping sneezing and staring at the little b.u.t.terfly with a look of hatred and fear.
As Ding Hao entered the pathway, he felt as if he were stepping into a maze.
After walking for a few kilometers, he saw a crossroad ahead.
The black puppy sniffed the air, picked a way, and walked on without hesitation.
Ding Hao followed it closely.
In the next period of about four hours, Ding Hao followed the black puppy and walked for an unknown distance. They constantly changed direction while walking along the winding pathway, and Ding Hao completely lost the sense of direction in the end. They had encountered countless crossroads along the way, but the black puppy could always make the right choice in a seemingly casual manner.
During this process, Ding Hao had been very patient the whole time and he never interrupted the black puppy.
Now that he had chosen to follow the black puppy, he had to trust it.
The little b.u.t.terfly seemed to have endless energy and kept fluttering back and forth. Once it landed on Ding Hao’s shoulder, and then on the back of the black puppy, lighting up the surrounding s.p.a.ce and giving the dark s.p.a.ce a dreamy look.
As they proceeded, Ding Hao’s face began to change.
He finally felt a trace of energy wave coming from the corridor ahead.
This kind of energy fluctuation was extremely weak. If Ding Hao had not practiced the Mind Essential and did not have a keen Divine Sense, he might not have been able to detect it. It was like a slight breeze from the distance ahead that seemed to be unable to blow through the hair. Although it was extremely subtle, it absolutely existed.
The aura of this power was extremely strange and had a kind of divinity.
It was a divine artifact!
Ding Hao was shocked as he thought of this possibility.
“The black puppy can really find the Divine Artifacts. How did it do it?”
As he got closer, he could feel the aura of this power more clearly. Moreover, he keenly noticed that the originally dim light in the pathway gradually became bright. It was a kind of strange golden and holy silvery-white light. Even the dark red wall of the pathway became crystal clear gradually, looking as if it were made of scarlet jade.
A sacred and n.o.ble aura approached him in the face.
The black puppy barked excitedly and ran even faster. There was no more crossroad ahead. The holy light was getting stronger and stronger. The stone wall of the pathway had completely turned into scarlet jade, which was almost transparent.
“This is… ultimate-grade crystallite stone!”
Ding Hao felt shocked as he carefully observed the wall.
It turned out that the dark red stone wall had turned into scarlet crystallite stone containing unimaginably strong energy. Ding Hao had never seen such crystallite stone before. Even in the cave of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect on the cliff, there was no crystal with such purity. This scarlet wall was simply created by the most primitive power of heaven and earth, and it didn’t contain any impurities.
As he placed his palm on the wall, he could feel the strong power surges in it.
However, there was a very strange light film on the surface of the wall, so he could not directly absorb the power contained in the crystallite stone.
Ding Hao gave up after several attempts.
The wall of the pathway was extremely hard. Ding Hao tried to break the light film with the devil saber and the rusted sword, but he failed.
The Evil Moon also discovered the existence of the nonpareil crystallite stone. He was so anxious that he kept screaming and jumping about. Unfortunately, he almost broke his claws and his teeth, but he still couldn’t break the light film on the surface of the stone wall and get to eat the ‘delicious food’ in it, which almost drove him crazy.
“Woof, woof, woof!” The black puppy stopped and looked at Ding Hao as if it were urging him.
With the Evil Moon in his hand, Ding Hao caught up with the black puppy.
They finally came to the end of the pathway.
The s.p.a.ce ahead suddenly became wide, and a soft milky white light came to him.
This was a very large s.p.a.ce. The walls around him were golden in color, and the ground under his feet seemed to be made of gold, s.h.i.+ning with dreamy colorful light. At the height of thousands of feet, there was a silvery light ball s.h.i.+ning like the sun, emitting numerous light beams that covered the whole s.p.a.ce with silvery mist. The strange energy wave that Ding Hao had felt before was coming from this silvery ball of light.
“Could this be one of the legendary Three Great Divine Artifacts?”
Thinking about this, he released his Divine Sense and scanned the s.p.a.ce within tens of miles. He did not find anyone else, nor did he find the signs of any formation or trap.
Holding the rusted sword and the devil saber in his hands, Ding Hao slowly rose into the air and approached the silvery light ball.
He was extremely vigilant.
In most cases, the last moment was usually the most critical moment. Although a huge divine treasure was right in front of him, he dared not relax at all. If he relaxed, what was waiting for him might not be a lifetime opportunity, but dying without a burial site.
As Ding Hao gradually approached the silvery light ball, he found that it was larger than it appeared to be when he looked from below. Its diameter was nearly 100 meters.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The sound of slight vibrations came from the light ball.
That was like… a beating heart?
There was something weird.
Ding Hao became more cautious. As he got closer to the huge silvery light ball, he could feel more invisible waves of vibration coming out of it. Although these waves were not very powerful, they still made him feel smothered. He had to activate the power of the rusted sword slightly in order to continue to proceed.
He manipulated his power to strengthen his vision. Through the dazzling silvery light, he could vaguely see the true shape of the huge ball of light in front of him. It was like a big, sparkling, jade-like coconut that was contracting and expanding at an extremely low frequency. The sound of vibration he heard and the air waves he felt were all created by such contraction and expansion.
“Could it be that this large coconut is a so-called divine artifact?”
Ding Hao felt it was incredible.
The legendary Three Great Divine Artifacts were called the “Sand of Time”, the “Heavenly Samsara Disc”, and the “G.o.d-suppressing Seal”, respectively. As suggested by these names, the big coconut in front of him did not seem to be a divine artifact. “Did I guess wrong? Could it be some other treasure in the Final Divine Temple instead of a divine artifact?”
“Hmm? It’s not right!”
While he was thinking, he suddenly found something unusual. Inside this huge milky white coconut, there were six flickering colorful flames. The subtle divine power that he sensed before came from these six flames, but not from the huge coconut-shaped object that gave off streams of silvery light.
“Could these six flames be the real wonder?”
Ding Hao was struck by a thought.
He quickly approached the huge coconut-shaped milky white object and tried to break it. He found that it was extremely soft. He gently cut it with the rusted sword, and it was opened. The inside looked like cotton, which was a little dry, and it also looked like a piece of completely dried bread with clear texture but no vitality, like rotten wood.
Ding Hao kept cutting this strange object with the rusted sword.
After a while, the six strange flames were exposed.
“What are these?”
Ding Hao felt a little surprised.
The six-color flames turned out to be six tokens of the same size. They looked like small doors with no strange patterns carved on them. They were very simple in shape, and each of them was about the size of a palm. They were different in color, being silver, red, yellow, gray, blue, and black, respectively. The six tokens were flas.h.i.+ng with the strange lights of energy waves.
There was a trace of divinity in these energy waves.
“Divine artifacts?”
“Could they be the legendary divine artifacts?”
“However, there are six of them. Could the legend be wrong? Could it be that there are six Great Divine Artifacts instead of three?”
“That’s not right either. Their appearance and name don’t match, and it is impossible that all the divine artifacts will look exactly the same.”
Ding Hao tried to release his power in an attempt to collect the six door-shaped tokens, but he didn’t encounter any resistance, which was beyond his expectation. He took possession of the six tokens with ease. These tokens felt as smooth and warm as the skin.
He tried to inject the power of Qi into the jade tokens.
In the next moment, a strange thing happened. The six tokens flew up in an instant, and with the gentle sound of clinking, they were bonded together and formed a plate-shaped object with a diameter of about 30 centimeters. Each token became more radiant, as if something was about to come out of it. Six different kinds of strange forces were released from the tokens.
The silver token gave off an aura of harmony, peace, sacredness, and elegance. The red token looked wild and unrestrained, as if it were burning with fighting spirit. The green token had an aura of quietness, peace, and inaction. The blue token had a dumb and chaotic aura. The gray token carried a creepy air of cold and loneliness. The black token seemed to be filled with endless fear, and just a glance at it would make people feel terribly scared.
The six flames represented six different types of power and aura.
Ding Hao fixed his eyes on the strange plate composed of six-color flames. A flash of lightning flashed in his mind. Fortunately, he suddenly came to know the origin of this strange object in front of him.
“This must be the Heavenly Samsara Disc. As the name suggests, the Heavenly Samsara Disc should be disc-shaped. I just didn’t expect that it would consist of six different parts… As a divine artifact, what is it used for?”
A thought flashed across Ding Hao’s mind, and the “Heavenly Samsara Disc” fell into his palm.
He attempted to inject his Divine Sense into it, but unfortunately, he did not find the so-called magical spirit in it.
