Chapter 352 - 353 Chapter 358 Dissecting the Divine Treasures of the Heavenly Source Master

353: Chapter 358: Dissecting the Divine Treasures of the Heavenly Source Master 353: Chapter 358: Dissecting the Divine Treasures of the Heavenly Source Master “Is this the divine treasure left by the Heavenly Source Master?” Tu Fei was extremely surprised.

He had never expected that these ordinary stone mills and stone blocks on the ground would have such a significant origin.

This is not just a treasure; it can definitely be described as a divine treasure!

The big black dog was nearly shameless, lying there with its large paw pressing down on a pile of Stone Tools, refusing to get up.

Ye Fan threatened, “Don’t get in the way here.

I encountered a Stone King in the divine city.

Maybe there’s one here too.

If something strange is really cut out, you’ll be the first to suffer lying here.” “What is a Stone King?

I’ve even seen the kings of the Ancient races,” the big black dog said dismissively.

“What nonsense are you spouting!” Tu Fei didn’t believe it.

Ye Fan, however, felt a stir in his heart.

The big black dog definitely came out of the purple mountain.

He had already guessed a thing or two about its origins.

He thought of the largest-scale action about to be launched by the Sacred Lands of the Eastern Wastelands and the various Sects of the Central States—attacking the purple mountain with Extreme Dao Sacred Weapons—and couldn’t help but ask, “Black Emperor, are you sure the purple mountain is safe?” “Relax, no one can gain anything.

Even if they get in, I dare say they will suffer heavy losses and be forced into a humiliating retreat.” “Divine King Jiang Taixu is in the purple mountain.

Do you think he can be rescued?” he continued to ask.

This was his most pressing concern.

“How would I know?

I’ve never been into the purple mountain.

Hurry up and cut the divine treasures!” The big black dog dodged the question, unwilling to say more.

Finally, Ye Fan moved dozens of Stone Tools into the house, scrutinizing them closely in front of the Fire Furnace.

Fifth Grandpa Zhang was very unsettled, watching from the side, while Wang Shu and the uneducated youth were even more excited, constantly rubbing their hands, eager to try.

Ye Fan activated the Source Heaven Divine Sense, two streams of purple light shooting from his eyes as he examined each one in turn.

These Stone Tools seemed ordinary, but when viewed with the Source Heaven Divine Sense, each became unique.

“Stone material from the Taichu Forbidden Area!” Ye Fan was shocked.

These stones usually appeared ordinary, but when examined closely with the Source Heaven Divine Sense, they exuded a strong Taichu aura.

He examined two stones consecutively, finding them empty.

But when he picked up the third stone block, his eyes flashed.

“There’s a Divine Source in here!” The big black dog couldn’t remain seated.

“Let me see!” “If I let you see, it’s like throwing meat buns to a dog—never to return.” “Kid, your words are too harsh!” The big black dog was indignant.

“Isn’t it true?” Ye Fan smiled.

“Alright, you can have a look, but don’t covet the Stone Tools below.” “Alright, no problem.” The big black dog agreed readily and nudged the uneducated youth beside it.

“Disciple, help me cut it open.” It had once guided Wang Shu and the uneducated youth in cultivation and now brazenly ordered them around.

CRUNCH.

The uneducated youth was rather straightforward, smashing it open with a single slap, having no patience for careful stone cutting.

The big black dog grimaced, feeling immense heartache, and said angrily, “Be careful!

There’s a Divine Source inside.

If you damage it, I’ll throw you into the Great Primordial Mine!” It hurriedly scraped away the rubble, searching for the Divine Source.

A burst of intense Divine Radiance shot out, dazzling and radiant, with a sacred presence, yet the big black dog was displeased.

“Kid, you’re tricking people!

This Divine Source is too small, not even as big as a bean.” This was merely a Divine Source Bean.

Although very precious, everyone present had seen fist-sized Divine Source Blocks, so it wasn’t so astonishing.

Suddenly, the big black dog froze.

It put away the Divine Source and pulled out a tuft of red hair from the rubble.

The hair was ominously vibrant, as if dyed with blood, and exuded a mournful, quite terrifying aura.

Fifth Grandpa Zhang was greatly shocked, retreating several steps in panic.

He almost fell to the ground, his face deathly pale.

Wang Shu and the uneducated youth hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

“Fifth Grandpa, what’s wrong?” Ye Fan was also surprised.

He stepped forward to support the old man.

“Elder, is something wrong?” At the same time, he also saw the tuft of red hair and took it from the big black dog’s paw, his brow immediately furrowing.

How could there be such a thing inside a stone?

He had heard some legends in the Stone Workshop about Source Gods, Source Ghosts, and Source Demons in the ancient mines, occasionally leaving traces in the rarest stone materials.

“Stop cutting!

These things shouldn’t be touched!” Fifth Grandpa Zhang’s lips trembled, his face white.

“What’s the matter, old man?” Tu Fei asked.

“Wait here.

I’ll go fetch something left by my ancestors to compare with this red hair.” Fifth Grandpa Zhang, supported by Wang Shu and the uneducated youth, went into the inner room.

After a long time, he emerged, holding a jade box.

It was definitely made of ancient jade, its color worn and somewhat dull.

“What is this?” Tu Fei was puzzled.

Fifth Grandpa Zhang solemnly opened the jade box.

Inside, there was nothing precious, just a few tufts of red hair, looking very creepy.

These tufts of hair were almost identical to the tuft cut from the Stone Tool.

Only, due to the passage of time, they had dulled somewhat and seemed stained by impure blood.

“These…” Tu Fei was puzzled, looking at Fifth Grandpa Zhang in confusion.

“This is the only thing left from the night my ancestor, the Heavenly Source Master, disappeared,” Fifth Grandpa Zhang said in a trembling voice.

Ye Fan had heard some stories about the Heavenly Source Master’s later years, which were very ominous.

He would see many inexplicable things that others could not, which was very unsettling.

On the night he left, a red-haired whirlwind had blown outside, and unknown, terrifying creatures had howled continuously, their wails echoing all night long.

The sound was sorrowful and desolate, heard for miles around, terrifying both humans and animals, making one’s hair stand on end.

On that night, a four-year-old child in the Zhang family had been beside the Heavenly Source Master and was scared into a stupor, only recovering after more than half a year of treatment.

According to him, that night he saw his great-grandfather’s hand covered with red hair and also saw humanoid creatures moving outside the window.

He only turned his head for a moment, and his great-grandfather, the First Ancestor, vanished forever.

“Is it that sinister?” Tu Fei was shocked.

He deeply understood the might of the Heavenly Source Master.

The man was considered a worldly marvel.

His Source Technique had reached the pinnacle, nearing the Dao with Heavenly and Earthly powers.

Even the various Peacock Kings could do nothing against him.

Yet, their later years were so ominous, beyond their control.

What exactly happened?

The big black dog also had a flickering gaze, pondering something deeply.

After a long time, it said, “The Heavenly Source Master’s later years were so ominous…” Ye Fan squatted down and began to restore that Stone Tool.

He was astonished to find that the stone was hollow; the Divine Source inside should have been as large as a human head.

“Something ate it, without damaging the stone skin, and took the Divine Source!” When they learned this result, it wasn’t just Ye Fan who was shocked; everyone present changed color.

“That’s what I said!

How could something left by the Heavenly Source Master be ordinary?

Yet it’s been ruined by some unknown creature!” Wang Shu said indignantly.

Ye Fan’s expression was grave.

He said little, squatted down, and forcefully smashed open the two Stone Tools he had already judged to contain nothing precious.

The stone mill indeed had nothing, but the stone block was quite extraordinary.

In its very center was a Stone Fruit.

“This…” Ye Fan breathed.

Clearly, its enormous Qi had been completely depleted, and then it had thoroughly petrified, reverting to an ordinary object.

“What kind of fruit is this?

It’s definitely not a common item, but unfortunately, its essence has been drained.” Everyone sensed the seriousness of the situation; the exotic treasures left by the Heavenly Source Master had been taken by another.

“Child, don’t cut anymore,” Fifth Grandpa Zhang advised, his expression grim.

“These Stone Tools are tainted with demonic power.

I’m afraid you might experience the same ominous fate as our ancestor.” “No worries.

Something might have happened that night ten thousand years ago.

After so long, whatever it was should have vanished by now,” Ye Fan shook his head.

“You don’t understand my meaning.

I’m afraid that if you get tainted by this aura, you might stir up trouble in the future, just like our ancestor…” Fifth Grandpa Zhang said tremblingly.

“The dreadful later years of the Heavenly Source Masters—was it their own transformation, or did something provoke it?

Where did they ultimately go?” Tu Fei murmured, then said, “Little kid Ye, you really have to be careful.

Heavenly Source Masters are all extraordinary individuals, yet even they couldn’t escape a terrifying fate in the end.” “I’m not afraid.

In the future, I want to see what terrifying things can happen to me.” As soon as he finished speaking, a chill wind swept through the room.

Those red hairs, as if drawn by some terrifying power, landed on him.

Seeing this, even the big black dog widened its eyes and vigilantly scanned the surroundings.

“No way, they’ve already found you?!” Tu Fei exclaimed in surprise.

Fifth Grandpa Zhang’s lips trembled.

“The fate of the ancestors…

Is that calamity going to happen again?” BOOM!

Ye Fan’s body erupted with brilliant Divine Light.

He was like an Eternal Immortal Furnace, unimaginably hot, his vitality like a surging sea, like a True Dragon awakening.

All the red hairs shattered into ashes and fell to the ground.

Ye Fan’s entire body was immaculate.

“I really don’t believe in this.

I’ll see what happens in the future!” He had just felt a mysterious force trying to invade his body, but it had been repelled and cleanly refined by his sacred body.

“You all step back a bit.

These stones might still contain some oddities, but they can’t do anything to me,” Ye Fan said.

Ye Fan continuously cut open several stone mills; all of them were empty, with nothing inside.

“The Heavenly Source Master must have left divine treasures.

Why are these stones still empty inside?

Their essence hasn’t been drained, so why are they empty?” Tu Fei was puzzled.

Fifth Grandpa Zhang said, “All the Stone Tools in the stone village are here.

Not all of them are from my family; let me pick out ours.” Based on memory, Fifth Grandpa Zhang selected more than a dozen Stone Tools, including stone piers, stone locks, and stone platforms—all things used in daily life.

Ye Fan cut open the other stones.

Indeed, they were all empty, containing nothing.

They were Stone Tools from other families in the stone village.

CRACK!

He cut four Stone Tools in succession, all belonging to Fifth Grandpa Zhang’s family.

His heart pounded with shock, yet he also frowned.

There were definitely exotic treasures inside, but their essence had all vanished.

Among them, the inside of a stone platform was hollow, with a cavity as large as a washbasin, containing only a tiny amount of Divine Source fragments.

“Heavens, a Divine Source as big as a washbasin!

That’s an astonishing treasure!

Damn it, what took it away?!” Tu Fei exclaimed.

The big black dog’s eyes went wide, and then it howled miserably, “Is there any justice?

This emperor wants to bite someone!” “It’s still that thing.

There are red hair residues left behind,” Ye Fan said, his expression serious.

The interior of another Stone Tool, though not hollow, contained a bizarre plant that had petrified.

Seeing this, even Ye Fan couldn’t remain calm.

This was very likely an Ancient Divine Medicine.

Among the divine treasures left by the Heavenly Source Master, nothing was ordinary.

“Damn it, a divine medicine!

This is an Ancient Divine Medicine!” The big black dog was going almost mad, its bell-like eyes nearly popping out.

“A Great Emperor once used this kind of divine medicine to refine an immortal pill and actually saved a deceased close friend’s life!” The big black dog seemed possessed, jumping up and down, circling these Stone Tools, howling like a wolf nonstop.

“Damn it, divine medicine…” It was indeed going crazy.

When Ye Fan saw clearly what was inside the third Stone Tool, he too wanted to curse and felt an urge to go crazy.

“This is definitely a petrified Earth Destiny Fruit!” Inside this Stone Tool was a Stone Pearl as large as a bowl.

It resembled a Human Essence Fruit and also a dragon pearl; it was undoubtedly an Earth Destiny Fruit, also known as a Fake Dragon Pearl.

“What, the Earth Destiny Fruit?

This thing is no less valuable than an Ancient Divine Medicine!

WOOF…” The big black dog barked in anger upon hearing this.

Tu Fei was also filled with shock and regret, murmuring, “The Heavenly Source Master was truly heaven-defying.

The few Stone Tools he casually left behind were all such things.

They truly can be called divine treasures!

But…

damn it, what terrifying thing got to them first?” Even though Fifth Grandpa Zhang, Wang Shu, and the uneducated youth didn’t fully understand these exotic treasures, they could sense Ye Fan’s and the others’ emotions and knew these were absolutely world-class divine items.

Ancient Divine Medicine and Earth Destiny Fruit were things Ye Fan desperately desired, capable of saving Little Tingting’s life.

Yet, their essence had all been drained, leaving him thoroughly disappointed.

The divine treasures left by the Heavenly Source Master had turned out to be an empty promise, filling him with regret.

It was all such a terrible pity.

Inside the fourth stone material was a petrified small tree.

Everyone was numb at this point; one didn’t need to think to know it was definitely another heaven-defying divine item.

“This emperor’s heart is bleeding!” Given the big black dog’s greedy nature, this indeed reflected its true feelings.

“Is there any justice left in this world?

The divine treasures of the Heavenly Source Master—what exactly stole them?!” Tu Fei was also filled with regret.

If these items were to appear all at once, they would undoubtedly shock the world.

Never mind the Peacock Kings of the Sacred Lands; even the several Emperors of the Central States would have to bow and plead for them.

Generations of old Peacock Kings and old Emperors had commanded vast lands.

Yet, in their twilight years, they couldn’t even acquire a single Ancient Divine Medicine to extend their lives; their only recourse was to venture into the Great Wilderness themselves.

In fact, no one had ever been heard of succeeding in such a search.

Yet, the divine treasures left by the Heavenly Source Master of old were all such heaven-defying items.

Just the thought of it is astounding.

Cutting open several Stone Tools in a row, each revealing such peerless treasures, left everyone unable to remain calm, filled with frustration.

“If all these things were to appear in the world, I’m afraid not even Heaven would tolerate it, as each one could defy fate and change destiny,” Ye Fan gradually calmed down.

If he were to truly obtain all these Ancient Divine Medicines, it would feel surreal, completely implausible.

“This emperor now believes it!

There really is some damned scoundrel out there, shamefully wasting such priceless treasures!” the big black dog grumbled angrily.

Everyone sighed at such an outcome.

Fifth Grandpa Zhang suddenly spoke, “Didn’t we cut out a Human Essence Fruit last time?

Maybe there’s still some left; perhaps not all of them were destroyed.” Only eight Stone Tools belonging to Fifth Grandpa Zhang’s family—those left by the Heavenly Source Master—remained.

Could any world-shaking treasures truly be cut from these few stones?

No one was very optimistic.

“Cut them open!

Cut them all open!

This emperor has a gut feeling that there might be something incredibly important left behind—maybe even an Ancient Divine Medicine!” The big black dog urged Ye Fan to act, eager to immediately cut open a world-class treasure.
