chapter 1264 obtaining the brick

long chen’s words almost made bao buping and chang hao faint. he had actually set his sight upon the divine fetus’s pillow? wasn’t that like plucking a hair from a tiger?

if they disturbed it, they would all die. they were unable to imagine that the person the old man viewed highly, the calm and intelligent long chen, would do something as crazy as this.

“long chen... do you really think that’s possible?” bao buping gulped, unable to believe his ears.

“don’t worry about it. as long as we don’t form any hostility for the divine fetus, we’ll be fine. the brick isn’t connected to the formation, so as long as we’re careful, we would succeed.” long chen was extremely confident. he was sure that this brick was being used as nothing more than an ordinary pillow.

“i’ll hold the head, and you switch out the brick.” long chen reached out toward its head.

the divine fetus was like a statue. when long chen raised its head, its entire body was raised into the air, leaving about an inch of space between it and the brick.

bao buping and chang hao began to sweat. but since long chen wanted the brick, they hastily pushed it out.

this brick seemed like an ordinary cyan stone pillow. but it was actually extremely heavy, and even the two of them had to work hard to push it out from beneath the divine fetus’s head.

“take something out to replace it. it just has to be of the same height,” whispered long chen.

“what should we use?” asked bao buping.

“anything! as long as the height’s the same. this thing’s about the same weight as a normal human, so it’ll be fine,” said long chen.

“how about a wine pot?” asked chang hao.

“sure.” long chen nodded.

chang hao quickly took out a pot-shaped object and placed it beneath the divine fetus’s head. its height perfectly matched the stone pillow.

long chen carefully placed the divine fetus back down. seeing that it didn’t react at all, he sighed with relief.

but then just a moment later, he sniffed a few times. a strange expression appeared on his face.

“this is your wine pot? it’s clearly a chamber pot! you use a chamber pot to drink wine?!”

“ah? fuck, i mixed them up! i’ll switch it.”

“just leave it. it’s not worth the effort. being able to sleep on a chamber pot is its fortune.” long chen shook his head. ignoring the divine fetus, he looked at the stone pillow.

it was extremely heavy and truly just like a brick. yes, it appeared to be just an ordinary cyan brick.

but the eight corners of it had extremely tiny divine runes. he had only decided to take it because he had seen those divine runes. those eight divine runes were things he didn’t recognize, but he felt that they had the same air as the divine rune the mysterious expert in the four nations ancient remnant had left behind on the black pot. that was why he had deduced that it was an absolute treasure.

fortunately, the brick wasn’t connected to the divine fetus. taking it didn’t disturb the divine fetus at all.

long chen nodded. “this world’s creatures are truly ruthless. let alone entering this formation, just getting close would cause you to be sensed. the flow of space around the formation is strange. we’d be instantly exposed if we got close.”

although long chen wasn’t a formation master, he had powerful spiritual strength, as well as the sharp senses of the nine star hegemon body art. such a trap was something he wouldn’t possibly fall for. of course, if the bait was strong enough, then there’d be no telling what he’d do with his see a treasure and can’t walk away disease.

the three of them continued to search. within four hours, they passed by over ten formations, as well as over ten treasures that made them drool. there were martial weapons, strange weapons, sets of armor. every single one of them was tempting.

seeing these treasures but not being able to touch them was painful. however, they had to endure. their goal was the heaven splitting divine tablet. that was the most important thing.

after another few hours, they encountered a patrol of this world’s creatures. the three of them relied on the hollow stones they had made to hide, and they easily passed by them.

as they continued, they suddenly heard the ground rumbling, and they hastily hid within the hollow rocks once more.

the ground split open and a huge skeleton appeared. it was several miles long, and its bones looked as if they had been made of gold. a terrifying pressure descended, making it difficult for them to breathe.

“it’s the skeleton of a xuan beast. that’s a priceless treasure.” bao buping stared in shock.

the xuan beasts were the ancestors of the ancient races. their bloodlines were extremely pure, and they were all ancient beasts that possessed innate divine abilities. their power was immense.

this skeleton definitely belonged to the xuan beasts. there was a huge fang at its front that made it look like a tiger xuan beast’s skeleton.

the golden skeleton had countless runes revolving along it. long chen involuntarily gulped.

if he could obtain the golden skeleton, he’d have definitely struck cold. this skeleton had dozens of parts that could be used to create ancestral items.

but thinking about it, he gave up. even ignoring whether or not he could obtain it, even if he did, such a thing couldn’t see the light of day. the xuan beasts would definitely flip the heavens if they saw it.

as the skeleton appeared, a huge light beam shot out from the sky, shining on the skeleton and projecting its image to the front of devil spirit mountain.

seeing that, long chen sank into thought and said, “we have to restart.”

“what? why?”

“it seems that powerful treasures won’t appear on the surface. for example, this skeleton came from underground, and we wouldn’t have noticed while it was like that. so the heaven splitting divine tablet is probably in a similar state. if we just search blindly like this, we won’t be able to find it even if we search for a lifetime. so we have to start over,” said long chen.

“but if we can’t notice it when it’s underground, how would restarting help?” bao buping and chang hao became a bit frantic. this was related to their ultimate goal.

“the heaven splitting divine tablet is the absolute treasure of the heaven splitting battle sect. as we search, you should silently circulate the battle god sacred canon. as long as the heaven splitting divine tablet is nearby, you’ll definitely form a resonance with it,” said long chen.

“ah, that’s right! if it’s here, then as long as we use our full power, it’ll definitely form a resonance and support us with its power.” bao buping clapped his leg.

“don’t do that. we came here to steal it in secret, not snatch it by force, understand?” said long chen hastily. he was afraid that these two brothers of his might really do something like that.

the two of them nodded. starting back from the beginning, they began to search once more. bao buping and chang hao silently circulated the battle god sacred canon as they did.

with long chen at the front, they searched for seven days, avoiding patrols several times. finally, bao buping and chang hao cried out at the same time, “found it!”
