Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 853 - 827 Characters from Ancient Times

This was an even greater shock for the two than meeting King Liang. Both of them stood frozen as if struck by lightning, eyes widened as they stared at the anciently dressed man.

The man sat in a lotus position, exuding a cold and stern demeanor, with a sword strapped to his back, perfectly embodying the appearance of a Sword Immortal. Just one glance left Tangyu feeling chills run down his spine. It was as if a small snake had encountered a giant dragon, making him acutely aware of his own insignificance and weakness.

What puzzled them the most was that this man, who looked like a Sword Immortal, was sealed by something. It seemed like ice, but they instinctively knew it wasn’t ice, yet they couldn’t identify what it was.

Tangyu and Qian Shanxue exchanged glances, then calmed themselves and cautiously approached the frozen man. Although he was sealed, both Tangyu and Qian Shanxue felt a sense of danger, so they moved with extreme caution, not daring to be careless.

Standing before the man, both furrowed their brows.

"This is—such a pure Pure Yang Power’s aura. Could the seal possibly be made of a Pure Yang Ling Stone?" Tangyu was also astonished.

Qian Shanxue tightly furrowed her brows, deep in thought. After a long moment, she said, "I remember reading in an ancient book about some records from the Ancient Times. It mentioned a Pure Yang Stone, also known as a Source Stone, said to be the origin of all sources, formed from the purest and most pristine Pure Yang Power in heaven and earth, worth thousands of times more than an equivalent amount of top-grade Spirit Stones. With such pure Pure Yang Power, it indeed might be a Pure Yang Stone."

Tangyu smacked his lips: "A thousand times? This piece of Pure Yang Stone must weigh at least several hundred pounds, right? If we converted it to Spirit Stones, it would be worth at least tens of thousands, right? So, does this mean this huge Pure Yang Stone is equivalent to a billion top-grade Spirit Stones?"

Qian Shanxue nodded: "If this really is a Pure Yang Stone, then yes, it’s worth that much. However, I can’t be sure. Pure Yang Stones were only seen in the Ancient Times, long gone from the world. No one has ever seen one, and there are only vague accounts in ancient books. But it’s certain that it’s far more superior than top-grade Spirit Stones."

Tangyu immediately grinned: "Haha, doesn’t this mean we’ve struck it rich?"

Qian Shanxue was speechless for a moment. In such a situation, he was still thinking about getting rich. Survival should be the priority: "Do you think you can carry it? Even if you can’t, you won’t be able to cut a piece off it. What good is a treasure if you can only stare at it?"

Tangyu frowned: "You’re right. There’s no way to carry it, and cutting it may not be possible. What should we do, then? It’s agonizing to see such a big treasure and not take a piece. Since we can’t take it, why don’t we cultivate here? The Pure Yang Power around here is so rich, it might quickly enhance our strength."

Qian Shanxue’s heart was moved by the idea. It seemed feasible and like an opportunity. Besides, there’s no way out now, so cultivating to enhance their strength seemed like the best option.

Thus, the two sat down and started to cultivate. Utilizing the pure and dense Pure Yang Power for cultivation, their progress was significantly accelerated.

Absorbing this Pure Yang Power for cultivation, their advancement was incredibly fast. Tangyu was filled with joy, having just broken through to the Sixth Layer of the Earthly Realm, he feared he might soon reach another level.

Qian Shanxue also greatly benefitted, having just broken through to the Eighth Layer of the Earthly Realm with Tangyu’s aid. Now, as she frantically absorbed the Pure Yang Power, she didn’t need to refine it herself; the speed was hundreds of times faster than typical cultivation.

Qian Shanxue became increasingly certain that this was a Pure Yang Stone. If senior sister Chen Xi, who was at the Ninth Layer of the Earthly Realm, were to cultivate here, she might break through to the Imaginary Realm within a month of seclusion.

Such opportunities are rare and hard to come by.

Time passed, and soon the two became engrossed in their cultivation.

What they didn’t notice was that the eyes of the Sword Immortal sealed within the Pure Yang Stone showed a slight movement.

"Haha, it’s really rapid progress cultivating with this Pure Yang Stone, much faster than using top-grade Spirit Stones, it’s practically a super cheat tool. With enough time, I could reach the Imaginary Realm in one go. However, once reaching the Imaginary Realm, progressing further would not be as easy, as mere Pure Yang Power would be insufficient. Still, the Imaginary Realm is enough to be aspirational. No wonder the Ancient Times were filled with powerful beings, and the Imaginary Realm was ubiquitous. It turns out they had such treasures to aid their cultivation." Tangyu smiled inwardly. Unexpectedly, after just an hour of cultivation, he had already broken through to the Seventh Level of the Earthly Realm.

Continuing to cultivate, in another half a day, he hoped to break through to the Eighth Layer of the Earthly Realm, and within three days, possibly reach the Ninth Layer of the Earthly Realm.

Such rapid advancement, if spread, would terrify people. It would normally be impossible, but here it became possible.

Unaware of how much time had passed, a smile finally appeared on Qian Shanxue’s face: "I’ve broken through, I’ve actually reached the Ninth Layer of the Earthly Realm. This has saved me a year of arduous cultivation. The Pure Yang Stone is indeed a treasure of heaven and earth; no wonder it has long disappeared. In the Ancient Times, it was also a rare and difficult-to-acquire treasure. This time, I’ve truly hit the jackpot."

Qian Shanxue couldn’t help but glance at Tangyu beside her. Ever since meeting Tangyu, her luck had indeed been on the rise.

Crack—

Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed. Startled, Tangyu and Qian Shanxue both jumped and quickly looked around, instinctively backing a few steps and huddling together, their faces alertly watching the Pure Yang Stone. The sound clearly came from it. freeweɓnøvel~com

Both were on edge, nervously staring at the Pure Yang Stone, which indeed had a crack appearing on it.

Tangyu furrowed his brow: "What’s going on? The indestructible Pure Yang Stone cracking like this? Even if we absorbed some Pure Yang Power, it shouldn’t cause such a change, right?"

Qian Shanxue also looked puzzled, which made both of them even more vigilant.

Crack—

Another sound rang out, only to see another thin crack appear on the Pure Yang Stone.

Crack! Crack!!

Several more thin cracks formed, slowly extending. Soon, like a large spider web, they covered the entire Pure Yang Stone. Then, with a crash, the Pure Yang Stone shattered into countless fragments scattered on the ground. The sword-wielding man was fully revealed in front of them, looking exactly like the living King Liang from before, without the slightest appearance of being a dead man, entirely like a living person.

Moreover, Tangyu and Qian Shanxue could feel the powerful aura emanating from the man.

Tangyu and Qian Shanxue exchanged glances, wondering if this ancient Sword Immortal could really come back to life.

How terrifying would that be?

Although they had witnessed the revival of King Liang, his revival was mainly related to the Resentful Spirit Bead, an ultimate treasure from the Ancient Times that could gather the world’s resentment and wield immense power.

But this ancient Sword Immortal, after countless years, if he were to revive now, it would indeed be too terrifying. Perhaps the entire Ancient Martial World would be shaken.

The Ancient Times held many secrets—the ancient battles, the reasons for the decline—many mysteries remained unsolved. If a living person from the Ancient Times were present, perhaps many enigmas would be unraveled. Moreover, they might even discover if immortals truly existed and how to pursue the Path of the Immortals.

"What—" Tangyu and Qian Shanxue retreated repeatedly, as the ancient Sword Immortal’s corner of the eye moved again, causing them to be greatly startled.

"Could there really be a way to achieve immortality? Can people from the Ancient Times also come back to life? This—"

The ancient Sword Immortal’s eyelids twitched a few more times, and then he really opened his eyes. If they weren’t mentally prepared, they might have been scared out of their wits.

The ancient Sword Immortal really came back to life, and his gaze fell upon Tangyu and Qian Shanxue. Being looked at by those eyes, Tangyu felt as if all his secrets were laid bare, with nothing hidden, penetrated entirely with a single glance.

Such terrifying eyes.

It even made Tangyu feel that the gaze alone could turn into a sharp sword and kill him. The ancient Sword Immortals had immense power, merging with their swords, and even their gaze could turn into a lethal sword.

Having witnessed King Liang, but now Tangyu felt that King Liang was much weaker compared to this ancient Sword Immortal.

The ancient Sword Immortal stood up and with a wave of his hand, gathered all the fragments of the Pure Yang Stone on the ground, his expression slightly frowning with a thoughtful look: "Only two little ones at the Earthly Realm, how did they break in here? Sealed for five thousand years, could the seal have expired? Is it five thousand years later now?"

Hearing the ancient Sword Immortal’s murmuring, Tangyu and Qian Shanxue were secretly amazed. Sealed for five thousand years, did that mean the person before them was from five thousand years ago?

Self-sealing, what did that mean?

The ancient Sword Immortal walked over, and Tangyu immediately said respectfully, "Junior Tangyu greets Senior."

Qian Shanxue also respectfully bowed. In front of such a great ancient power, they naturally did not dare to be disrespectful.

The ancient Sword Immortal looked at Tangyu and Qian Shanxue with little expression, then suddenly reached out a hand and patted Tangyu’s Heavenly Spirit Cover.

Tangyu was greatly surprised. Was this ancient Sword Immortal so fierce that he would kill without a word? But quickly, Tangyu realized it was a false alarm. The ancient Sword Immortal’s hand just lightly rested on Tangyu’s Heavenly Spirit Cover, and then an invisible force surged into Tangyu’s mind, completely unstoppable.

Tangyu immediately knew that this ancient Sword Immortal was probably extracting his memories. Although Tangyu was very resistant to this, no one would want to have their secrets entirely exposed.

But resistance was futile. Tangyu had no power to resist at all and could only let the ancient Sword Immortal extract his memories.

Soon, the ancient Sword Immortal withdrew his hand, his face showing a thoughtful look: "The world after five thousand years has become like this. The population has grown to such a terrifying level. The Ancient Martial World has completely hidden itself from the mundane world. History has been so spectacular. Unexpectedly, after the ancient battle, the Ancient Martial World became like this, so declined. It’s truly sigh-inducing. The Nine Great Heavens are no longer the flourishing existence they were in the Ancient Times."
