Chapter 569 - 565: Enchanting Bones
The system’s voice screamed out, "Host, what are you doing, stop."
Su Muyao seemed not to hear, her actions appeared uncontrollable as she opened the stone door.
"Host, according to what you said, this Chaos Wild Beastman is a beastman attacked by the power of the Destructive Black Lotus; he is going to end the world."
"No one knows what dangers might be hidden in here, ah ah ah..."
Amid the system’s screams, the stone door opened.
The imagined dangers were nowhere to be found; inside was another palace, appearing as if sculpted from ice, with a pedestal at the center holding a giant sculpture.
The sculpture looked exactly like the beast’s figure on the door.
It appeared to be an ice sculpture but was lifelike as if alive.
Unlike the stone painting on the door, it seemed draped in a layer of Crystal Armor.
Five different beast forms surrounded the pedestal, crouching and kneeling as if worshiping this Chaos Wild Beastman.
They seemed like his followers or loyal subordinates.
But these five types of beastmen, Su Muyao had never seen before, nor were they recorded in Ancient Books.
Or perhaps these beast forms have long been lost to time and no longer exist.
No, ten thousand years ago, if the claw emerging from the shattered void was a Chaos Wild Beast’s claw, then it indicates these beastmen might still be alive, she simply didn’t know.
Seeing no immediate danger, the system breathed a sigh of relief, "False alarm."
"But Host, what happened just now, why did you cut yourself to open that door?"
"No, Host, how did you know how to open that door?"
Su Muyao shook her head and said, "I don’t know either."
"Moments ago, it was as if I wasn’t in control, acting involuntarily."
"It was as if a voice in my mind called out."
"It felt like my Divine Sense had left my body."
She couldn’t quite describe the feeling.
But she knew it should be a behavior from her subconscious.
The system exclaimed, "Ah, Host, could it be that your Divine Soul has been completed like Wen Nanxi?"
"Does it seem so to you?"
The system didn’t know; it knew the Host was closely tied to Beast World’s fate; everything she did made sense.
Plus, the Host being brought here seemed tied to her connection with it.
But exactly what’s the connection, it couldn’t clearly discern yet.
Suddenly, Su Muyao seemed to see a faint five-colored light. Realizing something, she quickly moved inside, seeing a lot of soil in the center of the pedestal, with the sculpture’s four hooves stepping on them.
"Chaos Soil, this must be the Chaos Soil recorded in Ancient Books, no doubt about it."
She hadn’t expected to truly find Chaos Soil here.
Su Muyao felt thrilled; this was a necessary material for Wen Nanxi’s refining of the Seven-orifice Body Condensing Pill.
However, another material was needed, the Nine Netherworld Lotus.
It’s said to exist in the Nine Nether Forbidden Land.
Just this one herb, and the Condensing Pill could be refined.
The system became excited too, "Yes, Host, this must be Chaos Soil, exuding a faint seven-colored glow."
"Such a hard-to-find material unexpectedly found here."
"And so much of it."
Su Muyao manipulated space, using her mind to collect all the Chaos Soil into her space.
After collecting the Chaos Soil, exposed under the pedestal was a large area of green ice crystal.
"System, what is this? It seems to be exuding Divine Soul Power, making my Spirit Sea restless."
But having never seen such green ice crystals, she didn’t know what they were nor dared to touch them rashly.
The system seemed to sense something and got quite excited, "Host, this is a fortune, it’s Soul Crystal Stone."
"Soul Crystal Stone?"
"Yes, this pedestal is actually made from Soul Crystal Stone; it’s quite extravagant."
"Just one piece taken out would cause a sensation, let alone such a large block."
"No wonder Zhuang Beiyuan said he previously felt his soul tremble here, likely due to the Soul Crystal Stone’s impact."
Listening to the system’s excited voice, Su Muyao was momentarily unsure of its use.
Perhaps knowing Su Muyao didn’t quite understand, the system explained, "Host, don’t you want Yue Wuhen to revive sooner? This Soul Crystal Stone will be beneficial for him."
"Although the Soul Gathering Lamp is a very ancient Magic Treasure and Magical Artifact in Beast World, the materials to refine it include Soul Crystal Stone. If you bring back so much Soul Crystal Stone and put it into the Soul Gathering Lamp, Yue Wuhen might quickly gather the scattered soul fragments and revive sooner."
"These stones should have only existed in Beast World’s Primordial Chaos Period; they’re long gone now."
"Even when I sensed Heavenly Dao, I couldn’t find them."
"These are naturally formed Soul Crystal Stones from the earliest chaos of the world, not only helpful in gathering Divine Soul fragments but also enhancing the Divine Soul."
Upon hearing this, Su Muyao felt thrilled.
"In that case, naturally, I must take them all back."
Su Muyao started using her spiritual power to collect all the Soul Crystal Stones into her space.
But these Soul Crystal Stones were different from Chaos Soil, not so easily taken.
Mere thoughts wouldn’t work.
Su Muyao had to approach with a Space Artifact, chipping away little by little, placing them into her space, not missing a single piece.
The system watched its host work diligently, realizing that she cared about Yue Wuhen too.
And Yue Wuhen was worth it.
The system, feeling bored, looked around, "Host, why do you think Soul Crystal Stone and Chaos Soil, such important things, are stored here?"
Probably related to this statue, who knows what it’s for."
"I don’t know, let’s bring everything back first."
Su Muyao had no leisure to think about those questions now.
Sweating on her forehead from the hard work, Su Muyao finished collecting and prepared to leave. Upon seeing the Crystal Stone Armor draped over the statue, she felt it could be useful too for assisting Yue Wuhen in Soul Gathering.
She hesitated for a moment, stepping forward to touch it.
And at the instant of contact, the statue seemed to move slightly, its gaze seemingly locked onto Su Muyao’s eyes.
A beam of light seemed to pass through Su Muyao’s eyes.
Su Muyao’s head spun suddenly, her mind seemingly filled with flickering images.
She saw herself appearing in a beautifully decorated mansion, standing in front of a young man dressed in lake-green brocade, his long dark hair loosely draped and fluttering in the wind, his clothes drifting as the breeze blew.
His stature long and slender, a seductive flower tattoo visible on his collarbones, revealing patches of snowy skin, appearing alluring and enchanting, capable of captivating with every move.
His eyes were smiling and indifferent, appearing naturally affectionate yet inherently cold.
He stepped toward her, as if fragrance of enchanting flowers filled the air, dizzyingly intense.
"Do you like what I look like this?"
As he spoke, coming closer, his alluring features blurred the lines of gender, exuding charm and seduction.
