"and many more."
Leng Yue's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly said, "There is still a chance. Besides Yu Chi, there are other methods."
"what way?"
"You forgot what I told you before? The essence of the Immortal Court's cultivation techniques belongs to my grandfather, who was the first head of the Immortal Court. The water of Feather Pool is actually just water." He hesitated for a moment before saying.
"Distilled from his body."
Xu Fu was stunned and involuntarily took a few steps back from the source of the pool. Diana also felt disgusted: it turned out that there had always been corpse oil in the Feather Pool.
My grandfather was a primordial spirit, and like other primordial spirits, he possessed an enormous body. After his demise, to ensure the immortality of the Celestial Court, my father and the priests sealed his corpse, extracting its divine nature and power. They mixed this with various potions to create a potion that could grant ordinary people power comparable to that of gods, though the effect was short-lived. Later, after numerous refinements, combined with the bloodline refining method compiled by my grandfather, it became the Celestial Court's legacy. (bbfh)
Xu Fu grinned.
"If your grandfather's body is found, I still have a chance."
"Yes."
Xu Fu laughed loudly, "Alright, Your Highness, go ahead and let me see the legendary Primordial Spirit."
Leng Yue lowered her head and said somewhat anxiously.
“I know where Grandpa is, but so much time has passed, what if…”
"Don't worry, if we can't find the body, I'll take good care of you and send you to your death."
As he uttered his last words, a murderous aura emanated from him; after such a long period of catching his breath, his patience had long since run out.
Diana rolled her eyes at him, and after Leng Yue left, she transmitted her voice.
"Be careful, this woman is not as simple as she seems."
"Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements."
After listening to his words, Diana didn't ask any further questions. After spending so many days together, she vaguely sensed that Princess Lengyue was not as innocent as she appeared. She had been dragging her feet, constantly making small moves, and even went to the residence of the highest leader of China in an attempt to expose herself. But unfortunately, no matter what she did, Xu Fu managed to thwart her schemes.
All of this was done in secret. If Leng Yue didn't say anything, Xu Fu naturally wouldn't speak up either.
Diana often wondered what Xu Fu was up to.
The place where the body was buried was on a mountain two hundred miles east of Buzhou Mountain.
There is a huge altar here, and in the center of the altar stands a statue that is a hundred meters tall. Unfortunately, the head and arms of the statue are gone, leaving only a swaying body.
Leng Yue walked to the sculpture, carefully examined the compass, and after a moment shook her head helplessly, saying...
"The entrance is blocked."
Xu Fu said coldly, "Are you sure the body is there?"
"Yes, it's right below the altar."
"Great!"
Xu Fu jumped up and hovered in the air. His divine armor shimmered with golden-red light, and his four wings gathered in front of him. The light filled the air, and an energy projectile with a diameter of more than five meters appeared in front of him.
Boom!
A deafening roar echoed from the sky as a blue beam of light slammed mercilessly into the altar from above. The already dilapidated statue collapsed with a crash. Leng Yue bit her lip and couldn't help but turn her head to look into the distance.
The beam of light, carrying the energy to destroy everything, blasted through the soil, shattered rocks, and penetrated deep underground. After a long time, the light slowly dissipated, and a circular hole with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared in the center of the altar.
Xu Fu's soul left his body and rushed into the cave with Leng Yue.
Diana didn't leave, but stood guard near the altar, closely monitoring the situation; this was arranged before they came, one inside and one outside, so that if any unexpected situation arose or an exceptionally powerful enemy was encountered, Diana would leave with her body, while Xu Fu would have his own way of extricating himself.
Chapter 1638 The Corpse of the First God
After descending 700 meters into the cave, their view suddenly opened up, and they found themselves in an incredible underground world. Many firefly-like creatures floated in the air, their light illuminating the surroundings.
If it weren't for the rock formations overhead, Xu Fu might have wondered if he had traveled through time again.
If you look down from the air, you'll see stone pillars of all sizes connected together, covered with glowing, mold-like plants, some emitting purple light and others blue light, while the ground is covered with a large number of phytoplankton and algae.
Besides plants, there are also animals and microorganisms. These three types of organisms are interdependent and mutually restrictive, and in fact form an independent biological system.
"incredible!"
Xu Fu murmured to himself, "This world—you created it."
"No, it was Grandpa's body that caused all of this."
"When the whale falls, all things are born!"
Leng Yue hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly: "That's understandable."
"Where's the body?"
"We can only move forward."
Xu Fu followed cautiously behind him, observing his companion's movements while keeping an eye on the surrounding environment: this was the Celestial Court, Leng Yue's lair, and it would be terrible if there were any traps.
Passing through a cluster of stone pillars and a sea of mold, they arrived at the edge of a cliff. Looking down, a black eye socket suddenly appeared before their eyes.
Eye sockets!
Yes, that's exactly what Xu Fu saw – an eye socket bigger than a four-story building.
In the underworld, he had seen the mother of the tentacle monster, which was not much smaller than its mother, and perhaps even smaller.
Leng Yue sighed, "This is my grandfather's body. Fortunately, it wasn't destroyed."
"is it?"
Xu Fu smiled weakly and flew into the sky with Leng Yue, examining the giant buried in the deep pit from all directions.
It has two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, but no hair. There are black lines on its left cheek, a scar on its shoulder, and a hole in its heart, as if it had been pierced by something.
Even in death, you can feel this destructive power emanating from a corpse.
"Truly worthy of being called the primordial god."
Xu Fu nodded expressionlessly, then said:
"what's next?"
Leng Yue pointed to the steps: "Go down the steps, and at the end there will be an alchemy room. The water from the Feather Pool is stored there, and if you're lucky, there will be some left."
Xu Fu looked around, said nothing more, and flew down with Leng Yue to a room hidden in the wall. Inside were all sorts of alchemical devices, covered with a thick layer of dust due to years of disuse, some of which were already dilapidated.
Xu Fu walked to the writing desk, picked up the old leather books that hadn't yet rotted, and flipped through them, saying casually...
“You only mentioned your grandfather, but not your grandmother. I’m curious. Your grandfather is a primordial spirit, but what is your grandmother’s identity?”
"I don't have a grandmother."
"Grandma isn't here?"
"My father, second uncle, and third uncle all separated from my grandfather."
Xu Fu suddenly became interested: "And you, yours cracked too."
“I have a mother.”
In response, Leng Yue said with an annoyed look, "These questions are none of your business, you don't need to ask anymore."
No, it has something to do with me.
Xu Fu threw the book on the ground, walked to Leng Yue's side, reached out and put his arm around her fair and slender neck, and said...
"Your Highness, you are beautiful, and your singing voice is captivating. I once had a little fantasy about you, but everyone has their own aspirations, and we cannot force things."
"If you truly wanted to help me, I would have granted your wish. Unfortunately, you've been lying all along."
Green flames burst forth from her palms, engulfing her soul. Leng Yue wanted to beg for mercy, but no sound came out. She could only look at Xu Fu with terror and fear.
“You told me that the source of the Celestial Court’s legacy was your grandfather, and I believed you. Then you told me that the key to becoming a god was the Feather Pool, and then you told me that the water of the Feather Pool was purified from your grandfather’s corpse, and I believed you. And with that, I conjured up the cause and effect of the Celestial Court’s destruction.”
"Unfortunately, the moment I saw the body, I knew you were lying to me."
Xu Fu pointed to his eyes: "My eyes can see many things that the naked eye cannot see, such as vitality and the soul."
“Your grandfather is full of powerful life force and a soul about to be born.” He pulled her to his side, looked into her eyes, and said, word by word, “I finally understand why there are so many gods.”
"Now I finally understand why so many gods died in the Celestial Court: it all started with your grandfather."
· ·Requesting flowers····· ······
Leng Yue's pupils contracted, and she was completely shocked, even forgetting Qing Yan's pain.
“Interesting, Your Highness, you are indeed interesting fellows.”
Leng Yue released her right hand, letting the woman collapse to the ground, and groaned, "How do you know all this? Who told you?"
"Do I need someone else to tell me this information? What do you take me for! I am Xu Fu-Xiao, the smartest man in history. Do you really think I don't know about these little tricks you're using behind my back? I just want to see what you're really up to?"
"When I first saw the information about the Celestial Court in the Eternal Cliff Collection, a question arose in my mind: it said that the Celestial Court lost many gods, far more than the other six pantheons, and the cause of death was internal strife."
...... ..... ....
"Everyone says the Celestial Court is good at internal strife, but which of the other six pantheons isn't good at internal strife?"
“I knew something was hidden here. I found no clues during my exploration, but I knew I had met you.” Xu Fu walked up to Leng Yue, cupped her chin with his arm, and said softly.
"Your Highness, tell me, what do you plan to do next? Awaken your grandfather's soul, or activate the magic circle in the pit to trap me to death?"
