Chapter 668 - The Mystery of the Tombstone
“Let’s save Qi Qi first.” Long Chen turned around, choosing to ignore the tombstone for now, and took out the wooden bathtub. It was still filled with Greenwitch Liquid and Qi Qi was lying inside. The Primordial Realm had increased in size after Long Chen got stronger; it was now roughly ten Li in diameter, which was big enough to fit anything he needed.
Long Chen was worried when he looked at Qi Qi’s green face.
“What should I do?”
“Use the blood of the Heavenly Phoenix to replace the Greenwitch Liquid. But the Heavenly Phoenix’s blood is very hot, so she will burn up if you fill it up as it is.”
“Then what should I do?” Long Chen frowned. He was annoyed that Little Cat hadn't told him that before.
“That’s where I come in. Keep her in the Primordial Realm and I will do the rest. I will return her back to normal after some time. By the way, what will my reward be?” Little Cat chuckled.
“Fat Cat, we have been together for a long time, so I will keep it short. You’ve indeed helped us a lot, and even saved my life when I was killed. I, Long Chen, am someone who repays kindness with even more kindness. I won’t mistreat you in the future, and we are technically sworn brothers. Or maybe you think that I’m not fit to be your sworn brother since you are the ‘Divine’ Reincarnation Beast?”
Little Cat made a face of disgust. “Fine, no need to be sentimental with me. I’m not some lady and I won’t fall for your tricks. Go and look at the tombstone while I treat her.”
Long Chen chuckled.
He knew Little Cat would react like that.
Long Chen had a good grasp on Little Cat’s behavior. Little Cat has been dependable in desperate times even though he was a bit of a show-off and exaggerated a lot of his tales.
He let Fat Cat into the Primordial Realm before placing Huangfu Qi inside. The blood of the Heavenly Phoenix was already in the Primordial Realm. As half of its owner, Fat Cat could naturally control it easily.
“By the way, do you want to restore your power one day?” Long Chen suddenly asked.
Fat Cat revealed a bewildered expression before he chuckled bitterly. “That’s impossible, so there’s no need to think about it. It’s already good enough that I get to talk to someone right now.”
Hmm ... It seems he had a difficult past.
Long Chen would always help his sworn brothers no matter what. Even though Little Cat said nothing, Long Chen noted this down in his heart.
There was no such thing as impossible in this world. It had always been an issue of being weak.
Long Chen sighed in relief once Little Cat got busy saving Huangfu Qi. Seeing that Little Cat was doing his best, he was relieved that the entire ordeal was finally about to be over. Long Chen could finally return Huangfu Qi to Huangfu Fengchen safely.
As for Xiaolang, he was resting in a corner of the Primordial Realm, refining the demonic core. He had changed back to his beast form with black flames sputtering out of his body. Occasionally, golden flames belonging to the Divine Phoenix’s bloodline appeared.
In order to help Long Chen obtain the Ancient Token, Xiaolang was doing his best to increase his strength as quickly as possible.
He needed a strong offensive martial technique!
Patience was an important trait for strong cultivators to have. Long Chen knew that there was a reason behind Little Cat’s words, so he waited. He stepped ten meters back and started feeling out the tombstone using his five senses.
I need to wait for the moonlight? Long Chen wasn’t in a rush.
He had just reached the Third Earthly Martial Stage, so there were still parts of his cultivation that he had to consolidate.
He had to reinforce a lot of his techniques in order to strengthen them.
He was currently at the peak of the Divine Martial Empire.
His only enemies were Zhao Danchen and Lady Xuan!
It was soon nighttime.
The moonlight penetrated the clouds and hid Sky Isle.
Everything's so blurry now. I doubt I will be able to see anything on the tombstone now. Long Chen was confused.
Little Cat was in the critical stages of rescuing Huangfu Qi, so Long Chen couldn’t interrupt him. Long Chen had to comprehend it on his own, so he followed Little Cat’s advice and started to examine the tombstone with all his senses.
He was already familiar with the surface of the tombstone, but he still didn’t get anything from it.
Most people would’ve never cracked the mystery of the tombstone since no one would stay here for so long.
Comprehend, but not through observation. I can already imagine its size and shape in my mind, but how does that help me?
Long Chen pondered.
The faint moonlight caused his shadow to be projected on the tombstone. It was a natural phenomenon. The shadow moved as Long Chen moved. Nothing was out of the ordinary here.
Long Chen observed the tombstone for more than two hours but still got nothing.
Maybe I finally hit a bottleneck? Long Chen sighed.
He didn’t want to force himself and hoped that he would crack the mystery by chance.
He got bored and started cultivating the fourth stage of the Earthly Martial Fist.
