Chapter 1537: Chapter 1536: True Divine Body Realm
Although Fang Yu had already mentally prepared himself, knew the general shape and possibilities of the Dragon Vein, when he saw its true form with his own eyes, he was still shocked.
So the Dragon Vein was actually a small mountain, a miniature mountain.
Its entire body was a bronzed color, giving off a faint oily sheen. Under the encirclement of negative energy, that sheen was suppressed to a very tiny degree. But after defeating Zhao Mengxue, a large portion of the negative energy had disappeared. The Dragon Vein’s energy was also slowly recovering. Fang Yu could feel that the Dragon Vein was gradually regaining energy, an energy that was contained within the Primordial Qi of human society. It was obvious that human Primordial Qi and human Spiritual Energy all originated from this Dragon Vein. This was very strange. It wasn’t that the Dragon Vein could directly produce Primordial Qi. Rather, the Dragon Vein was like a feng shui treasure land. It was the symbol and core of this world, this land.
Besides looking bronzed, the Dragon Vein’s shape was more like a mountain range, the kind that symbolized the Dragon Vein in Huaxia Civilization. Like bones, like mottled stone, and also like a winding river coiled up in the Ninth Layer world.
"This is the Dragon Vein?"
Fang Yu’s expression was filled with disbelief. Just this tiny bit of Dragon Vein could actually decide the life, death, and future of an entire world. Even from a Cultivator’s perspective, this was incomprehensible.
"Whatever, I’ll refine the Dragon Vein first. At the very least, I have to ensure the Dragon Vein returns to the earth."
Fang Yu summoned the Nine Layer Tower again. With a casual wave, golden light flashed and drew the Dragon Vein inside.
The moment the Dragon Vein vanished, the entire Demon Cave World began to collapse along with it. With a loud crash, the world crumbled, the crust trembled, the land swayed, and all living beings in this blurry world—whether the tens of millions of troops or those negative creatures that had not joined the army—fell one after another.
In human society, the crust was shaking nonstop as well. Fortunately, they had been warned long ago, and human Cultivators exerted tremendous power to protect human cities. As for those creatures that came from the Demon Cave World, they were all slaughtered by human Cultivators.
After weathering the storm, the clouds parted and the sun shone through.
The battles that followed for humanity were not easy either; they had to fend off the Fierce Beasts drawn in by the trembling earth and surging seas.
Hundred-thousand-year Fierce Beasts, million-year Fierce Beasts, and even ten-million-year "killers" were putting humanity under immense pressure and threat.
The Western extradimensional nations had no choice but to seek help from Eastern human Cultivators. Many countries began sending envoys to Huaxia to request reinforcements. The Western realms were willing to unanimously honor Huaxia as the Heavenly Dynasty.
At the same time, Fang Yu returned to the human world.
But he did not hurry back to Jiangzhou. Instead, he found a secluded place, preparing to refine the Dragon Vein.
In the quiet forest, all Fierce Beasts in the vicinity were forced away by Fang Yu’s Desolate Divine Will. He then set up an extremely powerful Array to guard the surroundings.
Only then did Fang Yu sit down cross-legged.
He placed the Dragon Vein on the ground. Back in the Demon Cave World, he couldn’t see it clearly, but now, from the outside, it looked more like a mountain range made of bronzed metal. It was more like a work of art; every vein of the range, every detail, every shade of color was extremely delicate, exquisitely crafted. It was hard to imagine that this was naturally formed.
With that thought, Fang Yu began refining.
Fang Yu had no experience in refining a Dragon Vein, so this first attempt was entirely based on persistence and the memories left in his mind by the Holy Spirit Body. Luckily, those memories helped him greatly.
Fang Yu began channeling his own Primordial Qi, pouring it all into the Dragon Vein like transmitting energy. When that Dragon Vein absorbed the energy carrying Pan Yu and the Star Fire, it immediately began to shine brilliantly.
The work of art started to glow, and at the same time, Fang Yu actually felt the Spiritual Energy in the surroundings growing denser. This was eerie yet magical. He was one hundred percent convinced that the Spiritual Energy and future of the entire Huaxia World truly rested on this Dragon Vein. So this was the role and key of the Dragon Vein?
Right after that, a bizarre scene emerged. Fang Yu felt as if his bones were turning soft. In that instant, all his meridians, blood vessels, blood, hair, skin, and every single thing on his body began to throb strangely.
What was going on?
Fang Yu frowned slightly and began mobilizing the energy in his Qi Sea, wanting to suppress this change.
This change and restlessness made him feel rather uncomfortable, as if he were in a sea of fire. Even though he had formed it, he still didn’t want to suffer such torment.
Zzzt zzzt.
With a whoosh, his whole body seemed to be wrapped in flames. If not for being possessed by Star Fire, these flames would have been enough to devour Fang Yu. They were even more terrifying than True Fire.
Why is this happening?
Fang Yu pondered over and over, but couldn’t figure it out.
Suddenly, he understood. This seemed to be the power of the Dragon Bones—yes, the Dragon Bones.
Fang Yu immediately exerted his full strength, stirring up the Star Fire. The power formed after that was unleashed to the fullest at this moment. While burning the Dragon Vein, twelve Dragon Bones appeared within it.
These were, of course, the last twelve of the seventy-two Dragon Bones.
Fang Yu had never imagined that the remaining Dragon Bones were all inside this Dragon Vein. He had to admit Zhao Mengxue was extremely bold, actually placing the Dragon Bones in the Dragon Vein. Was she not afraid that the Dragon Vein’s power would recover?
But thinking it through carefully, although Zhao Mengxue’s actions were very daring, they could also completely suppress the Dragon Vein.
If you liken the Dragon Vein to the meridians and bones in a human body, this is the core that supports the body. Without Dragon Bones, there is no Dragon Vein. The two are closely connected, inseparable, mutually supporting.
So Fang Yu was very clear on how to use the Dragon Bones to restore the Dragon Vein.
Thus, Fang Yu began mobilizing Primordial Qi along with the Star Fire, burning away all the negative energy that had corroded the Dragon Vein, until it was clean and utterly purified.
The entire process lasted about an hour. The form of the Dragon Vein now clearly appeared before his eyes, more magnificent and more dazzling than before, exuding a faint Immortal Energy. This was the ultimate manifestation of Primordial Qi and Spiritual Energy.
Fang Yu extracted those twelve Dragon Bones.
Just then, the bones in his body also began to crackle, shifting back and forth at a strange speed. This made Fang Yu uncomfortable. So this discomfort was actually coming from these Dragon Bones. Having found the cause, Fang Yu immediately manipulated the twelve Dragon Bones.
Swish, swish, swish.
The Dragon Bones all flew into Fang Yu’s body.
Just like how he had fused Dragon Bones before, with the prior experience, this time he was completely at ease, handling it smoothly.
In the blink of an eye, the twelve Dragon Bones all entered Fang Yu’s body one after another.
With a boom.
Fang Yu felt as if all the bones in his body truly fused into one, undergoing an intense qualitative transformation.
No wonder the Qi Sea Wall had felt on the verge of breaking through; it turned out the strength of his body had once again transformed at this moment.
Like mountains crashing and seas overturning, his aura was vast and majestic.
