Chapter 1637 - Indigo Thunderwood
The black stone was no larger than a basin, yet its warped outline looked nothing like an ordinary rock. After all, a normal stone would reveal clear veins the moment it cracked open.This black stone showed no veins at all; only etched patterns crawled across its surface. Those marks interwove like natural roots, and seeing roots "grow" over stone felt unnervingly wrong.
Liu Wuxie's thoughts raced as he tried to pin down the black stone's origin. He knew he had sensed the aura leaking from it before, yet too much time had passed and too many memories had slipped away.
This was his second life, and the memories of his first had faded until only fragments remained. Only hatred stayed carved into his heart, and he knew he would never forget that.
He rummaged through those buried recollections for a long time before his eyes suddenly narrowed. At last, he remembered what this stone truly was. Not many people in the astral domains could recognize it, including Hua Feiyu, as this black stone should not have existed in the astral domains at all.
"How could the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain possibly produce Indigo Thunderwood? This is unbelievable! It only exists in the celestial realm, and no one can find it in the mortal world," Liu Wuxie murmured. The thing in his hand looked like a black stone, but it wasn't a stone at all, but a segment of an Indigo Thunderwood.
The Indigo Thunderwood was a mythical tree that drew lightning once it grew to a certain size. It didn't start black; it started indigo, only to turn charred black after heavenly lightning struck it repeatedly.
But how had a segment of the Indigo Thunderwood ended up in the astral domains? Liu Wuxie felt completely at a loss and could only wonder if the mysterious gate had spat it out.
If that were true, then the mysterious gate would appear every tens of thousands of years, and this piece of Indigo Thunderwood had likely surfaced in the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain long ago. No one had recognized it, and even a quasi-immortal couldn't split it open.
Yet its unusual patterns had an aesthetic appeal, so the Evil Spirit King hadn't discarded it. At first glance, those markings looked chaotic, but each line stayed crisp, and that sharpness felt strange. Without those runes, the Indigo Thunderwood would've been tossed away as junk a long time ago.
"What a treasure!" Liu Wuxie grinned as he gently stroked the Indigo Thunderwood.
Although others couldn't refine it, he could. The Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron could swallow and refine anything in the world.
