Chapter 1135 - 322: The First Venerable-Level Spoils (Part 2)
The crucial key that’s missing, Fang Ze hasn’t figured out just yet. After all, he’s just recently ascended, and with limited time and an unstable state, it’s hard for him to comprehend.
However, he believes that as long as he’s given enough time, by meticulously comparing the two bodies he simultaneously controls, he should soon be able to identify the differences between them.
And perhaps this would have a significant influence on the Domain War’s situation, even impacting the path to achieving True Godhood.
After silently noting this in his mind, Fang Ze temporarily halted his cultivation and insight.
While unsure of how long this cultivation session lasted, Fang Ze knew it certainly wasn’t a short period.
He’s just become the Uncrowned King of the entire Eastern Administrative Region and couldn’t afford to disappear for too long; otherwise, untold chaos might ensue.
Even though the upper echelons of the Federation have been cooperating during this period, the mind should still be vigilant against others. Hence, Fang Ze decided not to delay further, intending to review the findings on the investigation of Yuan Gu before returning to the Real World.
With this in mind, Fang Ze unmasked the Late-Night Investigation Room and approached the table where his findings were placed.
As he stood before the table, the first thing that caught Fang Ze’s eye was a bone bracelet, glistening like jade.
This bracelet was crafted from bone fragments resembling vertebrae, with a thumb-sized dragon head and tail carved at each end. It appeared extremely refined.
Upon seeing this bracelet, Fang Ze pondered briefly and had a rough guess in his heart.
Then he reached out, picked up the bracelet, and stood still for a moment.
A minute later, information about the bracelet appeared in his mind.
[Bone Dragon Bracelet]
During a Domain War, Venerable Yuan Gu slaughtered the Absolute Pinnacle demigod Tos of the dragon clan and his bloodline family, extracting their skeletons and bloodline. After centuries of ritual refinement, what was created seemed like a living being, an extraordinary item, a creature, or a demigod.
Holding this bracelet allows one to summon a Bone Dragon with Avalon-class demigod might to assist in combat.
However, due to the bracelet’s inability to acquire Power of Faith or synthesize Divine Power, the user must periodically infuse it with Divine Power to unleash its demigod-level prowess.
Note: This bracelet can be worn directly or fused with one’s bones.
After reading the introduction to the bracelet, Fang Ze’s first reaction was shock.
Although he had previously guessed that the object he obtained might be the Bone Dragon that once bit him, he had always thought it was some kind of Divine Skill or extraordinary item.
Yet after reviewing the appraisal results from the Late-Night Investigation Room, Fang Ze was astonished to discover that the Bone Dragon was actually a formidable demigod!?
Or rather... a demigod akin to a Divine Pet.
Even though Fang Ze hadn’t spent much time in the Outer Realm, just reading the introduction made him aware that such a thing was scarce there.
After all, the ability to kill an Absolute Pinnacle demigod in a Domain War and completely eradicate its bloodline was a feat accomplished by only those at the top of the food chain, the Venerables.
However, while this Divine Pet might seem magnificent, it was somewhat redundant for Venerables.
An Avalon-class demigod requiring periodic recharging had minimal utility for a Venerable.
In the circle of Venerables, only Absolute Pinnacle demigods were truly worthy of attention. The saying "Those who do not reach the Absolute Pinnacle are mere ants" applied not only to ordinary creatures but also among demigods.
However, while this Divine Pet might be redundant for a Venerable, it was invaluable for Fang Ze!
What was Fang Ze currently lacking? Wasn’t it exactly a demigod-level expert he could completely control, who understood his commands and could independently act on them?
The emergence of the Bone Dragon now alleviated Fang Ze’s urgent need.
As for the periodic recharging...
Fang Ze had an abundance of something else — Divine Power!
Not to mention the seemingly endless Divine Power from the Yuan Gu, just consider the eight Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends.
Currently controlling the entire Eastern Administrative Region, equivalent to controlling the Spirit Realm Mountain in the Eastern Administrative Region direction, Fang Ze could at any time place these Divine Fiends in the Outer Realm, directing them to gather Divine Power, then summon them back to the Demigd Prison once the Divine Power is consolidated.
So, as for Divine Power, Fang Ze truly didn’t lack it!
With these thoughts, Fang Ze, delighted, picked up the bracelet and, following the Late-Night Investigation Room’s owner-binding method, integrated the Bone Dragon with himself.
One must admit, the Late-Night Investigation Room was indeed magical. Although this demigod-level Bone Dragon had once been the pet of the Yuan Gu, its mark was outright erased, allowing Fang Ze to claim control.
After becoming bound, the Bone Dragon indeed acted as if it came to life, sliding its long body over Fang Ze’s hand, eventually crawling back onto Fang Ze’s hand and reverting into a bracelet, entering dormancy.
Touching the delicate bracelet on his wrist, Fang Ze felt extremely satisfied with his initial investigations of the Venerable’s findings! This also filled him with anticipation for the upcoming investigation of the Yuan Gu:
The Venerable was worthy of being a Venerable; there were simply so many good things! Just uncovering the method for advancing to the Absolute Pinnacle yielded such a fine acquisition. If he were to unravel all the secrets accumulated over the years, wouldn’t those gains be explosive?!
Of course, Fang Ze also knew now wasn’t the time to continue his advance; he had been absent for a long time. Many unknown events must have occurred outside, and he needed to return to the Real World to sort it all out.
With this line of reasoning, Fang Ze sat on the chair and slowly fell asleep.
