Chapter 1470

- Sacrificial Land

Gone, disappeared. This burial region became peaceful again, lacking all aura.

Shi Hao stood there quietly, not saying anything. He still looked into the limits of the horizon, not moving even after a long time.

The female undead knight didn’t disturb him. She stood off to the side, her eyes flickering with divine light, even now, she was still experiencing great emotions. What she saw just now was too shocking.

Even now, the female undead knight couldn’t calm down. Everything she experienced was a bit inconceivable. Heaven change took place right before her eyes!

After another period of time, Shi Hao silently turned around, leaving this place, walking towards the depths of this Ancient Burial Region. Back then, this place was known as a holy land, a place that carried great secrets.

Multicolored light flickered about, a rain of light scattering down. Shi Hao’s body immediately trembled, he was stunned.

In the back, the female undead knight was also stupefied.

Shi Hao’s flesh disappeared without a trace, right now returning to being a skeleton. This immediately made his head hurt, didn’t his flesh return just now?

Why was it like this?

“Can you explain to me what exactly is going on?” Shi Hao asked the woman at his side.

The female undead knight’s long dress fluttered about, elegant and aloof. The pure white wings on her back gently moved, making her look like an otherworldly spirit. When she heard this, she frowned, she didn’t understand it at all either.

If it was the unmatched existence’s inextinguishable will, the butterfly incarnation roaming the various words, its divine senses should have scattered when it returned here, everything returning.

His flesh and blood shouldn’t have been restored!

However, Shi Hao’s body was exactly the opposite, the flesh and blood separating and then being reborn, completely different from the legends!

According to the female undead knight’s understanding, once the butterfly incarnation returned, the will would scatter, and then nothing would exist any longer. However, this person was still here.

“The remnant will is too strong!” This was her assessment of Shi Hao, believing that he had too many unfulfilled wishes, which was why he wasn’t willing to die, still wishing to roam the world of the living.

“Remnant will my ass!” Shi Hao’s expression was unkind. If it wasn’t for the fact that he wasn’t her opponent, he would have long gave her a strike on her forehead.

From start until now, he didn’t believe that he died, that he was some unmatched great figure’s fusion of flesh and remnant will. He was himself.

Inside the burial region, there were many areas that were bare, not a single blade of grass grew. However, there were other places that were lush with plant life, surging with vitality, the contrast great.

This was especially the case with a region up ahead, because this area of the holy land was mysteriously reviving. There were many giant monuments that reached out from the ground, towering into the clouds, strange and massive.

From far away, Shi Hao already saw a few buildings between the massive monuments. Even though they were damaged, they were still divine and imposing.

Only, what was somewhat disharmonious was that there were some large graves between the buildings.

“Ah, the sacrificial ancestral land appeared?!” The female undead knight cried out in alarm.

There were three great sacrificial holy lands, and this was precisely one of them, appearing at the heart of this place!

It was rumored that this ancient region was incredibly mysterious back then, only, because of those old matters, it was gradually abandoned, the undead knights withdrawing.

Shi Hao walked forward. The white-clothed young lady was also extremely moved. She also got closer, wishing to see this to its end.

“You were full of death energy before, wings rotting, why is it that you now look divine instead after arriving here?” Along the way, Shi Hao asked.

The female undead knight gave him a look, clearly upset at these words.

She said with a dull voice, “This is the sacrificial holy land, it reflects the true scene, allowing my true self to take form, eliminating all of the decaying aura.”

In that instant, black mist spread from her body, as if she was going to become that apathetic, indifferent cold female undead knight again.

“En?” Shi Hao was startled, was it really just a cover? Why was it that right now, he sensed this type of coldness.

The female undead knight became a bit quiet, only after a moment had passed did she say, “After leaving this burial region, I will indeed possess death energy, no longer be divine and transcendent.”

According to what she said, she still didn’t free herself from the undead knight yin body. Only when her strength was powerful enough, when her yang energy reached the peak would she transform into her pure and holy self, become no different from the human race.

Meanwhile, this used to be a holy land of the Ancient Burial Region, so by staying here, all undead knights would be nourished, as if their bodies had all yin energy removed, flesh becoming holy.

Shi Hao was stunned, blurting out, “This is nothing more than a dead person, and then gaining intelligence after corpse transformation, you become an ordinary person after forcing out the death energy?!”

He shivered inwardly. He had thought that there was no way of understanding the undead knights, but now, he felt like they were born precisely from corpse evolution.

“You are wrong, we are indeed a race, innately like this. Only by continuously evolving can the death mist be removed.” The young lady retorted.

“How could that be possible?” Shi Hao didn’t really believe her.

“But this is the truth. We weren’t buried by others, but rather emerge naturally in the burial region.” The young lady said.

“I don’t believe it. Don’t tell me you all have mothers and fathers, that you were birthed?” Shi Hao asked. It was because he really felt like something wasn’t right.

Who would have imagined that the female undead knight would nod, restraining the black mist just now, becoming holy and perfect again. Her skin was sparkling white, a drizzle of light around her.

This was her future appearance. While obtaining the burial region’s nourishment, she temporarily obtained a yang energy body.

“You have a father and mother, were they birthed too?!” Shi Hao was stupefied.

“Obviously!” The young lady glared at him.

Shi Hao’s mind was in a bit of a mess. Undead knights weren’t formed from corpse transformation?!

“There are some undead knights that have a yang body from birth, the same as you humans and other species. While walking under the sun, they are no different from you all. They are known as Golden Undead Knights.” The young lady said.

Shi Hao was stunned. He recalled that when he was in Divine Medicine Mountain Range, when the foreign creatures saw him working with the female undead knight, their expressions all changed greatly, one of them thinking that he was a Golden Undead Knight who entered Imperial Pass, interacting with humans and others.

When he thought of these things, he felt a headache, many different thoughts appearing in his mind.

Burial region, just what kind of place was it exactly? There were so many strange existences, even golden burial knights. If they really appeared, it really wouldn’t be easy to tell them apart!

“Do you understand now? The Ancient Burial Region’s depths aren’t necessarily overflowing with black mist, corpse fog roiling. The places where the great figures reside might very well be a beautiful place with flowers and birds, full of divine aura.” The young lady said.

Shi Hao rubbed his chin, thinking to himself. The burial region really was mysterious!

No wonder there was someone who raised a True Phoenix, treating it like a pet, letting it roam about the mountain gate. Turns out the depths of burial region weren’t overflowing with black mist, that it could actually be like a wonderland.

The True Phoenix was a pure and holy existence, there was no way it would reside in a land of death.

“Of course, there are some great ones who, even if they discarded all of their yin energy, still don’t enjoy places full of divine light, still preferring to reside in the darkness, study the secrets of the source of undead knights.” The young lady said.

Those places were destined to be pitch-black like ink, filled with death energy. They were terrifying danger spots not only in name, but also in reality, a place with countless great tombs.

“Yi, there’s something over there!”

Suddenly, Shi Hao was shocked, sensing the astonishing spiritual nature of the sacrificial land’s innermost depths. There was a fragrance that transmitted even from far away.

The female undead knight also revealed a surprised expression. Could it be that there really were medicines the outer world’s creatures most desired?

Shi Hao and the female undead knight entered precisely to try their luck. He wanted to find long life immortal medicines, but his heart was poundings, actually a bit nervous.

They both closed their mouths, no longer saying anything. They were like leopards, silent, but nimble, extremely fast, quietly rushing forward.

Soon afterwards, they already approached that place. They saw broken walls everywhere, as well as some grand ancient palaces that hadn’t collapsed yet. Apart from this, there were also dark red great tombs towering here.

There were some tombs that were really tall, even greater than mountain peaks!

“Are there supreme treasures in this tomb?” Shi Hao asked quietly.

“You cannot touch them!” The female undead knight shook her head.

There was previously an unmatched existence who was buried here. These were all tombs, they couldn’t be touched.

Of course, when she thought about how the person before her might very well be the result of that unmatched existence’s flesh and remnant will, she didn’t know what to say.

However, Shi Hao definitely wouldn’t admit that he was created by the remnant will of another. He naturally wouldn’t take risks, not digging up these graves.

Moreover, the fragrance didn’t come from these large dark red tombs, but rather from behind them.

“Even with several dozen to over a hundred li between us, the fragrance could actually travel that far!” Shi Hao said with shock.

Finally, they saw it. Several dozen li out, behind a few giant monuments, there were some lights jumping. The divine aura was released precisely from that area.

They were getting closer. They passed through the divine light mist, now able to see everything clearly.

There was a dao platform that was more than a hundred zhang tall. It was covered in cracks, about to completely collapse, yet it still barely managed to stand.

Purple liquid gushed out from the cracks covering its surface, rich with the most auspicious aura. Purple multicolored mist surged, filling this place densely.

“This really is an excellent place!” Shi Hao sighed with praise.

This was a grand dao platform that was now already about to collapse. However, it became the place where heaven and earth essence gathered.

Shi Hao could tell that this was Purple Manor Elixir with just a single look, a type of divine precious liquid. Apart from this, there was earth essence from the ancestral veins, spiritual roots and other things!

The ancient platform was mottled with colors, unexpectedly producing this type of divine liquid from its cracks!

“Immortal medicine!”

Shi Hao’s breathing immediately became hurried. He finally saw it! After circling around, he saw a plant rooted in the dao platform’s cracks on the other side.

No wonder there was Purple Manor Elixir, earth essence and other things gathered here, it was because there was a stalk of long life medicine rooted here!

It wasn’t short, a meter or so in height. Five-colored divine light surged, immortal mist overflowed, wrapping around it. Hazy immortal light was released, incredibly auspicious and peaceful.

Just a stalk of medicine alone actually turned this place into immortal earth. With it here, this ancient land immediately became much more hazy and sacred.

Shi Hao had previously seen the White Tortoise Carrying Immortal ancient medicine, but was unfortunately unable to catch it.

Also, when he was in Origin Ancient Mine, he had also noticed a stalk of medicine, but in the end, he was even more out of luck, not even able to clearly see what it looked like.

It was because long life medicines were intelligent, able to fly in the sky and escape through the earth, break through all types of restrictions. They were almost impossible to capture.

Apart from this, they had powerful awareness, not purely plants, instead , they should be considered to be sentient beings, having their own thoughts.

“This is… a tree!” The female undead knight was astonished.

Immortal medicines were rare, as for trees, this was even more true, almost impossible to find.

Only in the depths of burial region were there two trees, both of them rooted in different areas, belonging to different great individuals.

One of them was here!

“This tree has been cut before, look, there is a cut tree stump! Right now, the ancient roots are germinating!” Shi Hao was also extremely moved.

This immortal medicine was a meter or so tall, only recently did it produce soft shoots. They were sparkling and replete with moisture, five-colored immortal light flickering about, releasing astonishing divine immortal mist.

“The leaves are all different!” Shi Hao mumbled to himself.

This ancient tree recently sprouted, the leaves on it were all different, appearances not repeating.

It was strange, those leaves’ colors were different, shapes all unique. Some of them were weapons, some of them medicinal furnaces, some creatures.

“It’s actually this medicine, the most ancient immortal tree!” The female undead knight was shocked.

“What kind of history does it have?” Shi Hao quietly asked, scared of startling that immortal tree.

The female undead knight said, “There is an unmatched undead king who wanted to dig out its trunk and turn it into a coffin, but he always felt reluctant. It was rumored that this immortal tree is extremely special, effective even for us undead knights. If we cultivate at its side, it will be easy to comprehend the dao.”

“Who was the one who acted this wretchedly, actually still cutting it?!” Shi Hao felt an urge to curse out.

“It actually ran from the depths of the burial region! Something most likely happened!” The female undead knight said.
