Chapter 220: Buried Bones
Actually, the reason why Ye Qiu came wasn’t because he was afraid of Tianmeng. At this moment, he had completely grasped the ultimate profundity of the third sword technique of the Cursive Sword Art, and his combat strength had already reached its peak. He had the Immortal Slayer, wore the Liuxian Robe, and grasped many profound secret techniques. It was not impossible for him to fight Tianmeng. Even if it didn’t work, Ye Qiu still had a final killing move.
The reason he came was because he had yet to find a way to kill Tianmeng.
Ye Qiu knew too little about the mysteries of the Regenerative Bone. Not only him, but there were also very few records of such magical immortal bones in the world. He only knew that this immortal bone had the miraculous effect of nirvana, but he didn’t know what the basis of nirvana was and what secrets it contained. How should he destroy it so that it could not be reborn?
Ye Qiu hoped that Xuanyi would answer his series of questions.
After a long time, Xuanyi woke up from his thoughts and said, “The Regenerative Bone is the most magical immortal bone in the world. It has the powerful ability to allow one to be reborn. Its quality is also at the immortal grade. It can be said to be one of the strongest precious bones in the world.”
!!
Xuanyi sighed and said, “The bone in Tianmeng’s body was originally mine. She just dug out the bone in my body and grafted it onto her body. At that time, she had just grafted the Regenerative Bone and was surrounded by a group of senior brothers. She didn’t have time to fuse with it. So that Regenerative Bone is still connected to my blood.
“Therefore, I destroyed the Regenerative Bone and severely injured her. In the end, I used the power of the Regenerative Bone’s self-destruction to sacrifice my Intrinsic Sword and crucified her under the Infinite Abyss.
“Many people died in that battle back then. I still vaguely remember how miserable my senior brothers were when they fell in front of me.”
Ye Qiu was silent after hearing this story. He knew this story. Therefore, he was not surprised. Back then, Tianmeng tried to offer a blood sacrifice to the world for the sake of becoming a Monarch. In the end, she even framed the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow. It could be said that she had committed all kinds of crimes.
Heaven Mending Sect’s battle could be considered to have blocked a calamity for the world. Even if she wasn’t captured because of Xuanyi’s matter, the Heaven Mending Sect still had to take action and stop her.
However, what people could not figure out was why Tianmeng cared so much about this Regenerative Bone and even carefully set up a trap to act out such a show.
Ye Qiu didn’t understand. Xuanyi seemed to see through his doubts and explained, “Tianmeng was born from an ancient demon seed. She is the last demon seed in the world and has a pure bloodline. Her talent is naturally excellent. She cultivated the primordial demon seed’s inherited precious technique, the Heaven Devouring Demon Technique, since she was young.
“However, it’s a pity that the demon seed doesn’t have the ability to attain the Dao and isn’t recognized by the order of the world.
“Therefore, no matter how talented she is, it’s impossible for her to successfully attain the Dao.
“How could the proud and arrogant her endure the fact that she would never have the chance to become a Martial Monarch in her life? Therefore, she checked the ancient books and finally found this method of possession reincarnation.”
“Possession and reincarnation technique?” Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment before his thoughts became much clearer.
Xuanyi continued to explain, “The so-called possession and reincarnation is to borrow the body of others to reconstruct your own body and wash away the demonic blood in your body. Only then can she become an immortal and be recognized by the world.”
Hearing this, Ye Qiu frowned and said, “Since it’s a possession, why didn’t she directly find a body to possess but took your Regenerative Bone?”
Xuanyi smiled faintly. He had thought about this question for a hundred years and finally figured it out. “It’s very simple. How arrogant is Tianmeng? How can she accept that her soul is in the body of a mortal? She views all living beings as ants, dirty and despicable. Her heart extremely resists these bodies. So, she didn’t do anything until that day… she met me.”
At this point, Xuanyi looked a little depressed. Perhaps he was thinking that he had met love, but he did not expect it to be a scheme.
“The Regenerative Bone in my body happens to have this ability. It can help her reconstruct her body and achieve the goal of reincarnation. Moreover, the immortal bone has its own immortal aura. It’s closer to the Great Dao, so it’s easier for her to attain the Dao. Therefore, she deliberately approached me and lied to me. In the end, she dug out my precious bone to reach her crazy path of Dao Validation.”
At this point, Ye Qiu roughly understood the cause and effect. Overall, Tianmeng’s initial contact with him was because of this goal. The details, such as whether she had feelings for Xuanyi, did not matter. Perhaps it was just Xuanyi’s wishful thinking.
No one could say.
Recalling his previous guesses, Ye Qiu seemed to have made a judgment. However, he did not understand why Tianmeng could survive after the Regenerative Bone in her body was destroyed by Xuanyi and even successfully attained the Dao.
Confused, Ye Qiu said, “Martial Uncle, since you destroyed the Regenerative Bone back then, why did Tianmeng still successfully reincarnate? Is there any deeper meaning behind this?”
As soon as these words were spoken, a bitter smile appeared on Xuanyi’s white-haired face. After a while, he explained, “Sigh… It took me a hundred years to figure this out. This Regenerative Bone can not only give you the ability to be reborn from the ashes, but the source of the immortal bone could do that too.”
“What?” Ye Qiu frowned, as if he already understood what was going on.
“Back then, I destroyed the Regenerative Bone in her body because Tianmeng hadn’t completely fused with the Regenerative Bone. However, this bone has already entered her body and is connected to her blood. There are traces in her body.
“When that Regenerative Bone of mine self-destructed, the remaining trace caused her to produce another Regenerative Bone. This might also be related to the powerful recovery ability of the demon seed. The Regenerative Bone was born again, allowing her to successfully undergo nirvana and reincarnate again.
“Back then, I didn’t know about these things, so I didn’t check the situation after killing her. When I returned to the mountain and entered seclusion for decades, I knew that Tianmeng might not be dead when I discovered that another piece of bone had grown in my body. As expected, she finally came back.”
At this point, Xuanyi blamed himself very much. So many of his fellow disciples had died for nothing because of his carelessness. In the end, not only did that demon not die, but she also became a Martial Monarch Realm expert. How could he face his senior brothers who had died for him in the netherworld?
With a sigh, Xuanyi seemed to have aged a little more. He had become very haggard. If Tianmeng was only at the King-Ranked Realm, he might still have a chance to personally kill the demon for his senior brothers. But now, Tianmeng had already become a Martial Monarch. Even if he could break through to the King-Ranked Realm now, it would be useless.
After hearing his statement, Ye Qiu lowered his head and remained silent. “Reincarnation, nirvana?”
“That’s right. As long as the Regenerative Bone in her body is still there, she can undergo endless nirvana. This is the terrifying part of Regenerative Bone.” Xuanyi said with a solemn expression.
Hearing this, Ye Qiu’s eyes dimmed and became a little blurry, as if there was no hope. If the Regenerative Bone in Tianmeng’s body existed, then Ye Qiu wouldn’t be able to kill her. Even if he was lucky enough to kill her once, she would still be able to be reborn and survive.
Ye Qiu only had one chance because of the difference in strength. However, after hearing Xuanyi’s words, it seemed like this opportunity could only let her undergo another nirvana. If that was the case, the Heaven Mending Sect would really not be able to survive this calamity.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu’s heart immediately fell silent. He recalled the scene on Violet Cloud Peak and what Daoist Xuantian had said when he handed Violet Cloud Peak to him.
When Daoist Xuantian left, he told Ye Qiu to keep an eye on Violet Cloud Peak. But now, Violet Cloud Peak probably couldn’t hold on anymore. He was going to break his oath.
Tianmeng had returned this time for revenge. Then she would definitely not show mercy. If he wanted to protect this inheritance, he could only fight to the death. Either she died or the Heaven Mending Sect perished.
Originally, Ye Qiu had some hope, but this hope was extinguished by Xuanyi.
Just as Ye Qiu was in despair, Xuanyi suddenly said, “However, it’s not impossible to kill her.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qiu instantly looked up. He was a little surprised. “Martial Uncle, please continue.” I knew that you must have something else up your sleeve. It seemed like this trip was not in vain.
Ye Qiu was delighted. It was the right choice to come to the back mountain. As the true owner of the Regenerative Bone, no one understood this bone better than Xuanyi.
Xuanyi said, “Tianmeng’s original Regenerative Bone has already self-destructed, but she has produced another Regenerative Bone. Logically speaking, this bone has nothing to do with me anymore. However, coincidentally, Tianmeng is a demon seed. Her bloodline does not have the ability to attain the Dao. So when she derived the second Regenerative Bone, she continued to use my blood to prove her Dao…”
At this point, Xuanyi smiled. He did not expect things to be like this. When he derived the second Regenerative Bone, he felt the existence of the bone in Tianmeng’s body.
At first, he was very puzzled. Why could he feel another Regenerative Bone? Who in the Eastern Wasteland had given birth to this bone? It was only when Tianmeng appeared that he realized that the bone he had been sensing was the one in Tianmeng’s body.
After Xuanyi discovered this secret, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. He no longer had the heart to attain the Dao. He had the will to die and was sitting in the Jade Pure Cave Abode waiting to die. He did not expect Tianmeng to use his blood to verify Dao.
In other words, his current bloodline was the true bloodline of a Martial Monarch and was recognized by the laws of heaven and earth. In the future, if he reached this realm, he would be able to enter the Martial Monarch realm without needing to verify the Dao again.
This was also the reason why the so-called king’s descendants and monarch clans had such a n.o.ble status in the Great Desolate World. This was because the blood flowing in their bodies was already recognized by the laws of heaven and earth. Their starting point was higher than many people.
However, generation after generation, they were not as pure as before, so they did not look very powerful.
