Holy Bone

Chapter 1985, "The Four Saints of the North Pole, True Lord Tianyou"! All four saints are present!

The old man who left the fire is dead.

He died at the hands of the headless Jin An.

He was refined into liquid by the purple-gold-red gourd and died.

Nowadays.

It wasn't just the Ten-Faced Buddha who died and whose spiritual path dissipated.

Even the Old Man of Li Huo died at the hands of Jin An.

It can be said that the two biggest nemesis of Jin'an, who is now headless, has been completely eliminated.

Moreover, it wasn't just Elder Li Huo who died this time; another person also perished along with him. That person was the Jiang family patriarch, who had always remained hidden behind Elder Li Huo and had never shown his face.

In the final moments, the headless Jin An used the word "Lie" to fight the enemy, which was so powerful that even the Jiang family patriarch did not have time to make a move. Under the crisis of the slowing down of time flow, the Li Huo Elder and the Jiang family patriarch were swallowed up by the purple-gold red gourd and then refined.

The Jiang family patriarch, the Old Man of Li Huo, and the Marquis of Po Jun—the Jiang family patriarch was originally the strongest and most cunning of the three, a top-tier expert. Yet, he died without even a chance to resist, a testament to the unpredictable nature of cause and effect.

Of all things in the world, the cycle of cause and effect is the most difficult to fathom.

All effects arise from causes, and all retributions arise from karma.

It can only be said that the patriarch of the Jiang family had been concealing his presence, intending to launch a surprise attack and harm his opponent without leaving a trace—this was the cause. Therefore, because he concealed himself too deeply, he ultimately could not overcome his karmic burdens and was tragically killed—this was the effect.

Cause and effect are inherently a cycle of the universe.

Every effect has a cause.

There is a cause for every effect.

The headless Jin An poured out another storage bag from the purple-gold-red gourd, which belonged to the Jiang family patriarch. He poured out a pile of rare and precious materials and elixirs, and put them into his own stomach bag along with the treasures of the Li Huo Elder.

While the headless Jin'an was doing all this, the human Grand Luo Golden Immortal who was playing chess with the demon god did not kill the headless Jin'an for attacking and killing humans, as if everything was natural.

Just like mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, they are all the strokes of nature, the ups and downs that nourish life, and also an interpretation of the cycle of life.

The headless Jin An had no disrespect for the ancient god of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. After dealing with the Jiang family patriarch and the old man of Li Huo, and putting away the treasure, he bowed and clasped his hands in a salute to the Great Luo Golden Immortal, performing a junior's greeting.

Then he glanced at the chessboard of heaven and earth before him, knowing that it was beyond his comprehension. So he shattered the void and left, intending to leave the strange land as soon as possible, find the Great Demon Ape and the mysterious humanoid god-demon, and hand over the strange treasure he had just obtained, which was suspected to be the heart of an ancient god.

A large number of demons from the underworld have gathered outside.

Scholar Xun, the historian, the Seven Fairy Maidens, and other old acquaintances were in danger. He had known these old acquaintances for a long time, and they had a pleasant conversation. Their personalities were also quite to his liking. He would naturally save them if he could, as he did not want to see his old friends perish in the underworld.

and!

The giant demon ape and the mysterious humanoid demon god, facing off against eight great demons from the underworld alone, are bound to be extremely dangerous and fraught with peril!
Now that he has obtained the extraordinary treasure, he should leave as soon as possible and hand it over to help the Great Demon Ape and the Mysterious Humanoid Demon God improve their strength so that they can face the siege of the eight Great Demons of the Underworld.

The Great Demon Ape and the mysterious humanoid demon god had been kind to him and saved his life. As the owner of the "gratitude-repaying" Yuan Magnetic Holy Light, he naturally felt that the debt of gratitude was as heavy as a mountain and that he would definitely repay it.

Just as the headless Jin An was about to shatter the void and escape, a streak of light flew in from the distant horizon. When the light landed, it was revealed to be a powerful member of the Dragon Guardian Clan.

As soon as the Dragon Guardian landed, he bowed to the headless Jin An.

"Thank you for your help this time, fellow Daoist. You helped me eliminate the Great Wind Ferocious Bird and avert a crisis," said the Dragon Guardian Clan expert, his eyes filled with gratitude, communicating through mental telepathy.

The headless Jin An stopped his martial arts-shattering-the-void movements and said indifferently, "It's alright. I helped you eliminate the Great Wind Ferocious Bird, partly out of personal motives, so that no one would bother me and I could concentrate on my work."

A powerful member of the Dragon Guardian Clan said, "Our Dragon Guardian Clan has always been clear about gratitude and resentment. We will not let those with whom we have a grudge go unpunished, nor will we ignore those who have shown us great kindness."

"Since you have helped me this time, and shown me such kindness, I will not pretend to be unaware of it. If you need any help from me, please tell me, and I will certainly assist you in completing it. I only ask that you repay this kindness today, and that we will be even in the future."

The various races and the human race are ultimately sworn enemies.

Irreconcilable.

Never die.

It's understandable that the powerful members of the Dragon Guardian Clan wanted to repay their debt of gratitude as soon as possible, so that they would never owe each other anything again.

At first, the headless Jin An did not want the Dragon Clan's powerful warriors to repay this favor. He only wanted to go out as soon as possible to help the Great Demon Ape and the mysterious humanoid god and demon... However, he later thought that he had come to the Corpse Painting Cave to hunt so many Corpse Immortals, which was for the purpose of hunting dragons.
The powerful dragon guardian in front of him happens to possess a dragon tomb, which could solve his immediate problem!

With that thought in mind, the headless Jin An no longer held back and made his demands to the Dragon Guardians.

……

After a cup of tea.

The headless Jin Anwu shattered the void and once again soared through the air, rushing towards the colorful and exotic land.

Soon after, the headless Jin An successfully arrived at the entrance to the colorful alien land.

The headless Jin An looked back one last time. He still had many regrets about this trip to another place, such as not finding the Golden Saintess and killing her.

For example, if he couldn't find the Golden Saintess and learn the location of the Five-Colored Altar, he wouldn't be able to use the altar's divine power to cut the divine ore and extract several innate magical treasures.

For example, he didn't have time to kill so many powerful members of the Hundred Races. You should know that each of these members of the Hundred Races is worth nine million Yin Virtue, which is a huge fortune.

And so on...

He had lingered too long in this dazzling, otherworldly place, and he was somewhat worried about the situation outside. He feared that something might have happened to the Great Demon Ape and the mysterious humanoid god-demon, which could affect his chances of rejuvenation. Therefore, he had no choice but to reluctantly set aside his many regrets and go out to assist the Great Demon Ape and the mysterious humanoid god-demon first.

The headless Jin An glanced at the strange land behind him one last time, then took a step forward, ready to leave this strange place.

Just as the headless Jin An was about to step into the passage, a beam of clear light suddenly flew towards him from afar. Despite the great distance, it arrived in the blink of an eye, which was incredibly fast.

When the clear light fell into the hands of the headless Jin An, it revealed an antique-looking jade slip. Then the clear light on the surface of the jade slip dimmed and faded away.

However, the headless Jin An still managed to discern a clue from the clear light.

This light looks so familiar.

Seems to be……

That ancient god, the Great Luo Golden Immortal?
The headless Jin An was taken aback, then, with some doubt, used his divine sense to look at the jade slip in his hand—

The Four Holy Lords of the North Pole!
At first glance, the headless Jin An was greatly alarmed.

He looked back in the direction he had come from, his mind a jumble of emotions, words failing him. In the end, he simply bowed again to express his gratitude.

He cultivated the Four Saints of the North Pole: Tianpeng Zhenjun, Yisheng Zhenjun, and Zhenwu Dadi. Among the Four Saints of the North Pole, there was only one missing, which was Tianyou Zhenjun.

Unexpectedly, he obtained it in this colorful and exotic place where the ancestral temple of the immortal kingdom was buried.

Now that he has collected all the primordial spirit cultivation methods of the Four Saints of the North Pole, he can master all the transformations of the Four Saints.

Overjoyed, the headless Jin'an felt an even greater reverence for the ancient god, the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

He had always thought it was just a phantom, a projection of the past, not to be taken seriously, and that even Great Luo Golden Immortals and Ancient Gods wouldn't know what was happening in the outside world. It seems he was wrong.

When he killed the Elder of Li Huo, that Great Luo Golden Immortal Ancient God was not completely unaware; he simply ignored it. At the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal Ancient God, one can see through a person's good and evil deeds and their karma at a glance.

The Old Man of Li Huo was not a particularly benevolent person to begin with.

It was only natural that the Great Immortals and Ancient Gods ignored it.

However, the headless Jin'an couldn't understand why that ancient god of the Great Luo Golden Immortals would give him the "True Lord of the Four Sacred Heavenly Sovereigns of the North Pole" mental cultivation method before their final parting.
"Is it because I am the first person among the human race to be listed on the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals List?"

"Is that why they were so favored by the ancient gods?"

"You don't want to see me fade into obscurity?"

After pondering the matter a thousand times in his mind, the headless Jin An could only come up with this reason, which best explained the current situation.

Thinking of this, the headless Jin An bowed again, then left without looking back, plunging into the colorful, otherworldly passage.

……

outside world.

Hades.

Black Buddha Demon, Nine-Headed Giant Demon, Sky-Supporting Demon, Dragon Centipede Demon, Dragon Elephant Demon, Human-Headed Tomb Guardian Demon, Nine-Headed Infant Demon, Bridegroom Demon,

The Great Demon Ape, a Mysterious Humanoid God/Demon
They stood in a circle around the colorful and strange phenomenon.

These great demons of the underworld are all waiting for the outcome of the battle for the exotic treasures in the colorful and strange land, while at the same time recuperating and recovering from their own depletion.

Previously, these great demons of the underworld had been fighting endlessly, and each had suffered considerable losses.

At this moment, everyone is trying to recover their strength so that they can join the competition for the rare treasure once they have recovered to their peak combat power.

Whoever wins the treasure will inevitably join the fray, determined to seize it and use it for themselves.

A thousand feet away, the Yin-Yang Primordial Spirits from various forces in the human world were also carefully observing the direction of the colorful and strange phenomena.

Even these people are wondering who will ultimately snatch the treasure?

In the end, which underworld demon will seize the treasure and escape unscathed?

These people included various powerful forces, clans, and cultivation families.

It also includes the three sacred sites of Yujing Jinque, Zhenguo Temple, and Tianshi Mansion.

It was a gathering of stars and heroes.

These people pointed and talked in the direction of the colorful and strange phenomenon, their conversation never stopping, all curiously and eagerly awaiting the result.

"Who do you think will get this extraordinary treasure in the end?" someone asked curiously.

"I guess the Celestial Master's Mansion has a pretty good chance. The three remaining elders of the Eight Scenery Sect of the Celestial Master's Mansion—the Jiang Family Ancestor, the Li Huo Elder, and the Po Jun Marquis—have all been chosen by the Great Demon of the Underworld. When the three of them join forces, the others are far from being their match."

"That's right, this guess is also consistent with what I was thinking."

"Seconded."

Just as everyone was starting to agree, the person who had asked about the result earlier burst into a tirade: "What nonsense are you all spouting? I asked which great demon from the underworld would obtain the extraordinary treasure!"

"Who cares who obtained the treasure? Before the Great Demon of the Underworld, all the experts in the human world combined are no match for him!"

"So the great demon of the underworld is the key point!"

At this point, the man sighed, "I actually quite hope that the great demonic ape, or that mysterious humanoid god-demon, will eventually be able to seize the treasure."

"Because, as things stand, only these two are the most friendly towards the human race, and so far they have not killed any of our people."

"So, whether for public or private reasons, I really hope that the Great Demon Ape and the mysterious humanoid demon can obtain the treasure. At least after they obtain the treasure, they won't start a massacre against our race. They will just leave this place as soon as possible and find a place to hide and refine the treasure."

Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but sigh with regret.

Yes, everyone is currently sealed within the ancestral temple of the immortal kingdom, where the Corpse Painting Cave is located, by the barrier set up by the Great Demon of the Underworld. They are unable to leave, let alone return to the mortal world.

They are now in a precarious situation, their fates entirely dependent on the whims of the demons of the underworld.

In this light, the Great Demon Ape and the mysterious humanoid gods and demons are more popular and do not commit wanton killings.

"It seems we have to pray that 'I am not surnamed Chen' will be the one to seize the treasure in the end. He is the only one chosen by the Great Demon Ape and the mysterious humanoid god and demon."

"Although 'I'm Not Chen' is exceptionally strong and has received the Yuan Magnetic Holy Light no less than ten times in the Corpse Painting Cave, I think it will be very difficult to compete for the rare treasure amidst so many experts! Moreover, everyone should not forget that those chosen by the Black Buddha Demon, the Nine-Headed Giant Demon, and the Underworld Demon have all been enlightened and elevated in their cultivation levels. Each of them is at the pseudo-fifth realm, far beyond what we fourth or third realm cultivators can contend with!"

"The pseudo-fifth realm... this is indeed a huge and insurmountable gap, alas."

While some are grieving, others are rejoicing.

For example, the situation at the Celestial Master's Mansion is quite different.

Listening to the surrounding people discussing the great demon of the underworld and the chosen human experts who walked the underworld, the people of the Celestial Master's Mansion did not say much on the surface, but every one of them inevitably showed a proud and smug expression.

The fact that all three members of the Celestial Master's Mansion were chosen by the Great Demon of the Underworld is both an acknowledgment of their talent and a demonstration of their strength.

That's a pseudo-fifth realm!

And there are three Venerable Ones!
The people of the Celestial Master's Mansion are all convinced that if the Jiang family patriarch, the Old Man of Li Huo, and the Marquis of Po Jun join forces, they will definitely be able to seize the extraordinary treasure.

If the three manage to obtain the extraordinary treasure, the great demon of the underworld will be overjoyed and bestow upon them even the smallest reward, which will be enough to shake the mortal realm and cause quite a stir.

Since it was a great demon from the underworld who made the move, it must have been something extraordinary.

Even without the reward from the demon of the underworld, it doesn't matter. As long as we can please the demon of the mortal realm and have the demon of the underworld protect the three of them without killing them, then the Heavenly Master's Mansion will definitely be chosen by a great opportunity.

That's a pseudo-fifth realm!

It's not the fourth realm of the human world!
The power of their magical abilities, supernatural powers, and magical treasures are incomparable!

……

Just as these people were discussing who would be the final winner in this battle for the rare treasure, suddenly, an anomaly appeared on the other side of the colorful spectacle.

A strange, multicolored phenomenon appeared, with ripples spreading outwards from the inside, subtly vibrating.

As time passed, the oscillations accelerated.

"Look! There's something unusual happening over there with the colorful spectacle!"

"Is this... someone finally winning the rare treasure, someone is about to... emerge?"

Upon hearing this, all the discussions suddenly fell silent, and everyone, including those from Yujing Jinque, Zhenguo Temple, and Tianshi Mansion, stared intently at it!
