Chapter 344: Alive Yet Unaware
"For instance, the remains of Immortal Venerable Qinglian, the first Dao Unity cultivator to fall in the successive wars between the Myriad Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Council.
"Heh heh, over the years, the Five Elders Council has expended considerable effort trying to reclaim Immortal Venerable Qinglian's remains.
"Then there's the ancient Heavenly Sword Sect's Cease Stele. It's said that two massive stone steles once stood before their mountain gate. One was inscribed with ‘Idlers, Halt Your Step,’ and the other with ‘Those Who Come, Cease Your Arms.’ These two steles alone were said to be worth countless protective arrays. Truly an awe-inspiring display of might.
"A pity the Museum of Divine Treasures only managed to collect this Cease Stele. The whereabouts of the Halt Stele remain unknown."
Upon hearing this, Li Fan couldn't help but think of his own Halt Stele Fragment. Was it the same as the one from the Heavenly Sword Sect?
Just as Li Fan was lost in thought, the black-robed cultivator's next words forcibly pulled his attention back.
"Ah, speaking of the Museum of Divine Treasures, one simply must mention the remains of the very first cultivator infected by the Immortal-Mortal Miasma. You might not know this, but these seemingly ordinary bones are highly sought after by many cultivators. Their value is absurdly high. The skull they have on display is actually placed right in the very center of the museum.
"When I first saw it, I thought it belonged to some ancient powerhouse. Pfft. Turns out it was just some poor unfortunate soul.
"Honestly, I don't get those people. How in the world is something like that worth collecting?"
