Chapter 903: The Auditor Has Arrived
..."Good stuff."
Chen Huaian picked up that World Bone.
He certainly had no use for this thing, but he could give it to Li Qingran as a treasure to strengthen her physique. The effect would be roughly similar to a Body Cultivator speed-run, and each World Bone would also grant Li Qingran a special ability.
To be honest, although the power hierarchy of this Canglan World was inferior to Cangyun's, its unique power system truly could provide cultivators from the Cangyun Realm with an additional layer of enhancement.
Take this World Bone, for example.
When at the same cultivation level, a cultivator with a World Bone would definitely be stronger than one without.
Li Qingran was also looking at that World Bone with a beaming smile.
But what she was thinking was completely different from Chen Huaian.
She felt this World Bone was large enough, and when paired with the two World Bones obtained from the previous competition, she could finally brew a good pot of soup for her master.
"Qingran, this World Bone is good. Take it and absorb it."
Chen Huaian handed the World Bone to Li Qingran.
Now that the two realms were about to merge, the Canglan World could not escape the fate of fusion either. Therefore, he definitely needed to enhance Li Qingran's strength. The stronger the better, so that when he fought more powerful enemies in the future, he wouldn't have any worries holding him back.
Li Qingran carefully took that World Bone, her eyelashes fluttering, her eyes and brows curved into crescents: "Husband, your disciple doesn't need this. Your disciple will use this to make soup for you, okay? This is the essence from inside a World Beast! It must be extremely nourishing!"
She thought happily to herself that perhaps after drinking the soup brewed from this World Bone, her master could gradually repair his True Body.
Then she would be able to hold a solid, tangible master again.
At that time, the suffering of a year's longing could be resolved in a single morning and evening.
But these words were nothing less than a bolt from the blue for Bixixi and the other native Battle Masters.
A… a million-year World Beast's World Bone… for making soup?
As soon as these words were spoken.
The entire place was shocked.
"Wh… what?! Li Qingran, what did you just say?"
Bixixi beside her stumbled, almost dropping her scepter.
Those few Battle Masters who had just been stunned by the million-year World Ring were now all wide-eyed, looking at her as if she were a madwoman.
World Bone. Making soup.
These two words were perfectly understandable separately.
But combined together, they became incomprehensible.
One must know, that was a supreme treasure that could cause a qualitative change in a Battle Master's spiritual power, even granting them the potential to become a god!
And Li Qingran actually wanted to throw it into a pot, add some scallions, ginger, and garlic, and stew it?!
On second thought, the World Bone was just bone without meat. Would soup made from it even taste good...
"A waste of natural resources! This is a waste of natural resources!"
An old Battle Master clutched his chest, heartbroken and wanting to step forward to dissuade her, but was stopped by Bixixi.
"Qingran..." Bixixi took a deep breath, struggling to maintain the Pope's demeanor, but her voice was trembling, "This... this is a Wisdom Skull Bone. After absorbing it, you can gain stronger spiritual power and spiritual defense. Using it to make soup... isn't that a bit too..."
Too wasteful!
This was simply like using the He Shi Bi jade to prop up a table leg, or using the Imperial Seal to crack walnuts!
"So what?"
Li Qingran hugged the skull bone, slightly raising her chin, her face full of righteous logic:
"This big cat was hunted by my husband. The spoils naturally belong to my husband."
"What belongs to my husband is mine. I can dispose of it however I want."
"Besides, compared to wisdom or spiritual power, my husband's body is more important!"
In her logic, the greatest thing under heaven was her master.
As long as it provided the slightest benefit to her master, forget a million-year World Bone, even a divine godhood, she could smash it to pieces and boil congee with it.
Everyone was left speechless.
They wanted to refute, but dared not.
Because that White-clothed Swordsman was standing there without saying a word.
On that ethereal long sword in his hand, there seemed to still linger the residual warmth from slaying the million-year World Beast.
Even if he was just a Battle Soul, he possessed the terrifying strength to kill a million-year World Beast with a single sword stroke.
Who would dare point fingers at his "little darling wife" in front of him?
Bixixi opened her mouth, but ultimately swallowed her words.
She could only cast a pleading glance toward Chen Huaian.
In her view, this mysterious, unfathomable, heaven-defyingly powerful... Battle Soul,
would definitely not tolerate such utterly absurd nonsense, right?
That was simply an insult to power itself.
However.
One second.
Two seconds.
That figure in white stood in place, motionless.
He maintained the posture of handing over the bone, his expression indifferent, his gaze profound, as if he had turned into a statue at this moment.
Seeing this, Bixixi felt a surge of joy in her heart. Could it be that this powerful figure was also angered by what Li Qingran said?
But what she didn't know was—Chen Huaian currently dared not move.
Because, the moment he had just slain North-South Green Bean Haimi and forcibly tore apart the other's soul to seize the million-year World Ring.
A terrifying storm.
Had descended abruptly, without warning, into the depths of his Divine Soul space.
...
Deep within the Sea of Consciousness.
The originally snow-filled, vast and boundless silent world had suddenly changed its weather at this moment.
Rumble—
A dull thunderclap, as if rolling in from beyond the Boundary Wall of the world.
The originally pure white, flawless sky was instantly shrouded by layers of thick, leaden dark clouds.
Within those dark clouds, there was no rain, only violently leaping golden electric arcs.
It was an aura that felt extremely familiar, yet also extremely alien.
Familiar, because he had seen that power before, had even used it countless times in the Cangyun Realm.
Alien, because although he had seen and used that aura, it ultimately did not belong to him.
And the bridge he used to wield that aura—the middle corpse—had been completely devoured by him.
Zzzt!
The dark clouds split apart.
A single eye, spanning the horizon, completely condensed from golden thunder, gradually took form.
It hovered above Chen Huaian's Sea of Consciousness, cold, emotionless, aloof.
That eye had not yet opened, but countless flowing Dao Rhythms and Law runes had already descended, enveloping his Divine Soul, scanning it like a precise instrument.
A cold, vast, and grand will was forcefully breaking through the soul's Barrier, probing its way in.
Chen Huaian stood deep within the Sea of Consciousness, on the snowfield condensed from Sword Intent, looking up at that terrifying golden Thunder Eye.
He knew.
The auditor... had arrived.
Had the incident last time, where he forcibly claimed the million-year World Ring to intercept Tang Ritian, finally attracted the attention of the upper corpse after all...
But, why was it so fast?
The two worlds were ultimately not interconnected, and the wills of the Heavenly Dao were incompatible.
This realm's Heavenly Dao was controlled by the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings. He also couldn't use Heaven's Calculation in the Canglan Realm through the gourd left by the middle corpse.
Unless...
Someone informed?
Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes.
Whether someone had actually informed, and exactly who it was, he had no mind to ponder further.
Now, he had to find a way to muddle through.
Once locked onto by that Thunder Eye, once it saw through that he was not that emotionless "middle corpse," but Chen Huaian with a complete sense of self-awareness...
Then what awaited him.
Would inevitably be the upper corpse's merciless—obliteration and devouring.
