Perfect World Chapter 1622

Chapter 1622 - Immortal Gold Stele
As Golden Undead Knights, they were usually buried deep underground. They were extremely sensitive towards this type of ore and other things. Now, Sanzang closed his eyes, silently sensing his surroundings.
Shenming took a few steps forward, walking outwards, dropping down from the pit’s edge.
In the distance, a great roar sounded. That head that was as tall as a mountain peak exploded, red fur dancing about, in the end turning into a bloody mist together with the head, thus scattering.
Nothing remained. The parts of the mountain and the melted metal it swallowed all fell down.
“It is a bit strange.” Sanzang said. He wasn’t affected by that head, his eyes still closed. This type of calm appearance left Huo Fudou, Nuo Lan, and the others shocked.
Even as an undead knight, he wasn’t that sensitive to the earth and stone here, not making any great discoveries.
He just felt that this place was strange. Everything was secluded, as if this type of stone could cover the mysteries of heaven, difficult to truly peer through.
Sanzang knew that normal exploration methods were completely useless, they wouldn’t be able to see through this rock.
“There’s no need to waste your efforts. Do you see those black stones? They might have been soaked in some type of blood, while the pale yellow stones might have transformed from the flesh of powerful individuals. How can the items of the age when emperors fell be that easy to see through?” Jin Yang said coldly.
Sanzang didn’t say anything, while Shenming sneered. She didn’t believe these types of words. From her understanding, some intense battles happened here, the truth should be that it had been sealed.
Peng!
Shenming was the first to make her move, grabbing a rock from the cliff. It was only the size of a stone roller, not that big. She operated magical force, about to make it rupture.
“Be more careful, go to that side!” The White Peacock Fairy suggested.
Not far out, there was a six-pointed star altar piled up with rocks. It carried an ancient feeling of great changes, an old formation, but it was still in good condition.
“What is the use in telling her this?” Nuo Lan was discontent, the red marking on her forehead shining, becoming sparkling and brilliant. The hostility she felt towards Shenming was extremely strong.
Immortal Pit was extremely special, some stones containing bizarre substance that could turn into vicious beasts and monsters, some rocks even containing damaged formations left behind by creatures of the past. Once they were released, they could turn into malicious energy, destroy life force.
When it was most dangerous, it might even create a demonic calamity.
That was why the formations set up around Immortal Pit were all arranged by great powers, having powerful purification effects.
Shenming wasn’t too stubborn, rather easy-going, taking the advice, placing that stone into the formation.
She exerted magical force, breaking it.
Kacha!
The stone piece broke apart, a claw reaching out from within. It was made of stone, carrying an earthen yellow radiance. The claw grabbed towards Shenming, extremely abrupt.
Dang!
Shenming’s reaction was extremely fast, forming imprints, smashing against this claw. It was unexpectedly sturdy, the beast claw not shattering. A streak of golden light rushed out from the rock, quickly attacking Shenming.
That was a living being!
Shenming was shocked. Even though her movements were graceful, looking soft, each time, she used boundless magical force. That vicious beast was struck flying.
Sou!
This creature was like a dog, its body not all that large, only three feet or so in length, but its speed was extremely fast. It turned into a streak of yellow light, attacking fiercely here.
After several blows, it suffered quite a bit, directly escaping, entering the earth and stone.
“So these are Stone Beasts?” Shi Hao asked.
When he had just arrived here, Peacock Fairy had already said that this place had opportunities, but even more dangers. There were Stone Beasts, a single mistake might result in one being eaten by it.
“It ran just like that?” Shenming’s expression wasn’t all that kind.
“You should be content with your situation. That is but a Stone Beast, there is life-threatening danger at every turn. Fortunately, the one you provoked was just a dog. If it had taken the form of an undying bird or a giant beast, your life might have directly been lost just now.” Jin Yang said.
There were some who suspected that this Immortal Pit had an imperishable will beneath it.
There were others who said that there was a tomb here, or else why did the stones wrap around ruined magical bodies? They were all left behind from ancient great battles, the dead buried here.
“Borrowing bodies to produce divine awareness, nurture one’s own will, does it wish to transform, or is this a rebirth evolution? Shenming was suspicious.
Jin Yang and White Peacock Fairy didn’t tell them any deeper inner details.
“Found it, this is it!” Sanzang opened his eyes. He leapt down into Immortal Pit. A hundred zhang below the cliff, he picked up a stone, bringing it back up.
This was a rock that wasn’t that large, only three square feet. After placing it on the purification altar, Sanzang decisively used great divine abilities, splitting it apart.
“This is…”
In that instant, everyone here were stupefied. Even the other creatures searching for opportunities were startled, quickly flying over.
When the stone piece was undone, there was no danger, only releasing an auspicious and peaceful energy.
Brilliant colors flowed out from within. A metal stele flew out. It was extremely small, only the length of a palm, but it drew everyone’s attention.
Cries of alarm sounded, killing intent also erupting at the same time. There were some who wanted to seize it!
“Void Immortal Gold Stele!”
Even Huo Fudou couldn’t help but cry out, speaking its name.
This was a piece of Void Immortal Gold, forged by someone into a small stele. It released divine multicolored light, its value priceless.
This was Immortal Gold. It could be used to create unmatched magical artifacts. Normal true immortals might not even be able to obtain materials suitable for refining an artifact for themselves, while this was a top level material.
Of course, right now, what everyone was paying attention to wasn’t its material, but rather its form. This was a stele!
This thing had appeared before in the age when emperors fell. Normally, inheritances were all engraved on steles, so now that a stele cast from Immortal Gold appeared, it was naturally even more so a supreme treasure.
Perhaps this was… a scripture!
In those times, what was known as scriptures were unmatched inheritances, supreme treasures.
That was why after seeing the small stele created with Void Immortal Gold, everyone’s breathing became rushed, their eyes becoming red.
Even in Immortal Domain, this type of thing was worth fighting bloody battles over.
It was rumored that an important individual in Immortal Domain, an undefeated legend, when he was young, unexpectedly obtained a piece of Immortal Gold stele. There were unmatched scriptures on it, thus allowing him to rise up, eventually overlook the world.
Of course, that stele wasn’t obtained from this place.
Yet now, Sanzang actually obtained a piece of Immortal Gold stele, so how could everyone not be shocked? They were all about to go crazy over this.
“Don’t tell me you all are even going to try to steal this?” Sanzang seized it with a single motion. He faced everyone, his expression serious.
“Hand it over!” Huo Fudou immediately became hostile.
“Heh, you won’t be able to bring this thing away!” Nuo Lan also said with a cold laugh.
“Is that so? Even though a piece of Immortal Gold is precious, it shouldn’t be enough to directly become hostile over, right? You all can’t just show a bit of tact?” Sanzang said. He raised the metal stele in his hands.
“En?” Huo Fudou’s expression went rigid.
Nuo Lan was also stunned, her burning gaze becoming a bit sluggish as well, expression freezing.
“There are no words, only a rough core!” Jin Yang couldn’t help but cry out. His face was full of frustration and regret, feeling a bit relieved at the same time.
Otherwise, there might be a great bloody storm here.
This metal steel had just been forged, but there were no words carved yet, a rough core. It wasn’t the incredibly precious and rare scripture of the age when emperors fell.
Sighs sounded, everyone feeling disappointed.
“Stone book rough cores had appeared before in this region, as well as wooden book rough cores, all of them just turned into stele bodies, no inheritances carved down yet. Sigh! I never expected that even an Immortal Gold rough core would appear today.” Someone sighed.
“Little friend, could you lend it to me to take a look?” At this time, the middle-aged man who left before appeared again. This time, he didn’t look down on the lower realms’ creatures at all, not scared of being ‘contaminated’. He wanted to examine the Void Immortal Gold Stele.
Sanzang hesitated, but he still handed it over, not wishing to fight a battle here.
The middle-aged man examined it carefully, thoroughly examining this palm length metal stele. After a light sigh, he returned it to Sanzang.
Soon afterwards, an elder appeared, magical force vigorous, deep and immeasurable, surrounded by immortal energy. The Void Immortal Gold Stele was examined once more!
It was clear that the rough core’s appearance startled some nearby formidable figures, immediately hurrying over to examine it.
“What a pity!” He only spoke these three words, and then he only left behind a strand of immortal light in the original place, vanishing into thin air.
Now, no one examined it anymore. It was because after that elder looked at it, it was already confirmed that it was indeed a rough core, no scriptures carved.
“Scriptures from the age when emperors fell, known as priceless supreme treasures, what a pity, there was no such opportunity.” Even Sanzang sighed himself, carrying regret.
However, he was still content with his situation. At the very least, this was a piece of Immortal Gold, something that could be cast into a precious treasure.
“Brother Sanzang, why don’t you help me pick a stone?” Shi Hao said.
Sanzang laughed bitterly and said, “I overestimated myself. The stones here are extraordinary, not even Golden Undead Knights can see through it. Just now, I chose the stone completely based on feel.”
White Peacock Fairy nodded, saying, “Correct, this place completely depends on opportunity, divine ancient artifacts are always intimate with those with karma. When it should appear, it will appear on its own, do not try to force it.”
In the past, this was indeed the case.
Shenming searched about, but in the end didn’t obtain anything in return, leaving her quite annoyed. She was a Golden Undead Knight, yet she actually couldn’t discover any opportunities from earth and stone.
Shi Hao closed his eyes, also wishing to try the so-called intuition, see if he had any opportunities himself.
“En?” He was inwardly shaken. Could it be that he really shared fate with some opportunity? He indeed sensed a rock that was different, having a type of strange feeling.
It was just like… when he raised the Everlasting Sword Core in his hand.
Shi Hao’s mind immediately shook. It was as if he sensed a hint of the aura when the Everlasting Sword Core truly erupted. When that time happened, apart from the holiness, there would also be rivers of blood flowing past ancient graves, a person seated on a copper coffin.
When the sword core erupted, not only was there someone ascending to immortality, accompanied by a rain of light, sometimes, there would be scenes of large amounts of Burial Earth being flooded with blood.
A strand of similar aura pointed Shi Hao to a rock. It was merely the height of a person, standing there quietly.
“What is inside of this?” Shi Hao was extremely shocked inside. Something similar to the sword core, perhaps it was a similar type of ancient artifact?
Perhaps it was something from the same time!
This made Shi Hao increasingly alarmed. Was the Everlasting Sword Core just that ancient? It had existed for an endless amount of time!
“Open!” Shi Hao shouted, bringing the stone to the altar, using great divine abilities, wishing to split this stone open.
