Chapter 87 The Vanished Originium

"boom!"

A continuous roar echoed through the desert, and streaks of lightning flashed from the sky to the ground, while Qi Zhe danced with the lightning amidst the heavenly tribulation.

However, this was ultimately just a minor heavenly tribulation, far from being comparable to the major heavenly tribulation of breaking through realms. After unleashing more than a hundred bolts of lightning, it gradually dissipated.

"That was so easy." Qi Zhe looked puzzled after completing his tribulation. He didn't know if it was because he was too strong or the tribulation was too weak.

The heavenly tribulation unleashed over a hundred bolts of lightning, yet they had little effect on him. Often, any wounds that appeared would heal instantly, which was somewhat absurd.

However, Qi Zhe didn't care. After getting dressed, he slowly landed in the desert and looked at Duan De in the distance with a headache.

During his two months of seclusion, this guy had fed the Demon Jar Lid more than a dozen powerful weapons, and now he always had a fierce look on his face.

Seeing that Qi Zhe had finished his tribulation, Duan De rushed to his side with a whoosh, his face filled with indignation, and said:
"Kid, hurry up and bring out whatever treasures you have. My family's coffers are empty, it's your turn to feed me now!"

Duan De was in great pain. This magic pot lid had a huge appetite, seemingly insatiable. His savings were almost emptied, and now it had set its sights on Qi Zhe.

Qi Zhe leisurely tidied his clothes, and said in a strange tone, "Master Duan has roamed the Eastern Wilderness for many years and has countless treasures. Who would believe you if you said that?"

Even if he had treasures to feed the magic pot lid, he wouldn't feed it to it. Duan De should suffer this hardship.

Upon hearing this, Duan De's expression shifted between light and dark. After a long silence, he slowly said, "In that case, it seems I, Daoist, will have to return to my old ways."

Qi Zhe was unwilling to use weapons to feed the Demon Jar lid, and Duan De had no way to force him. After much deliberation, Duan De could only try his luck by searching for a large tomb.

If the demonic jar lid's spirit is allowed to continue its restless activity, it might suddenly go out of control one day. Duan De couldn't bear to part with his most precious treasure, so he could only look for some other worthwhile items.

He was never a peaceful person to begin with, and he had an unspeakable obsession with tomb raiding. Now he has returned to his old ways.

Qi Zhe was not surprised to hear this. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said, "Good idea. I think we should go and visit the mausoleums of those major sects in the Northern Region."

Previously, outside the Cloud Broken Mountains, several major sects, including the Five Elements Palace, the Illusion Palace, and the Myriad Tribulations Sect, joined forces to besiege the two of them, but were subsequently slaughtered by Qi Zhe.

Now that this feud has been formed, Qi Zhe has no intention of reasoning with the other party; he'll just go straight for the kill.

Upon hearing this, Duan De's expression brightened, and he rubbed his hands together, saying, "Indeed, the Great Sect's mausoleum must be full of treasures, and now they all belong to you, Daoist!"

"I think we should start with the Five Elements Palace!" Qi Zhe said in a deep voice. He actually had his own ideas about the Five Elements Palace and was preparing to explore their lineage.

Just before his tribulation, he tried to cultivate the Great Five Elements Technique, but unfortunately he couldn't actually do it. However, he gained a different understanding of it.

Therefore, he decided to practice the Five Elements technique to see if he could gain a similar understanding and open the door to controlling the Five Elements and Yin-Yang.

“Alright, let’s start with the Five Elements Palace. I’m sure it will be a piece of cake!” Duan De nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

The Five Elements Palace is located in a continuous ancient mountain range in the northern region, more than a million miles away from the holy city, which made it difficult for Qi Zhe and Duan De to find.

Upon arrival, one sees barren, yellow mountains everywhere, with the power of the five elements permeating the heavens and earth, making the mountains so hazy that they are impossible to see through.

In the past, the ancestor of the Five Elements Palace created the Five Elements and divided this mountain range into five regions, each with an amazing Five Elements field.

The Five Elements Palace is located deep within the field, hidden among the mountains, and even with the Heavenly Eye open, it is difficult to glimpse its entrance.

"The Five Elements Mountain is indeed extraordinary. The Five Elements Ancestor of the past must have been a person with amazing cultivation!" Qi Zhe stood outside the mountain ridge, lost in thought.

Duan De was with him, currently looking around outside the mountain range, but what he saw and knew was different from Qi Zhe's. He said with a look of joy, "This mountain range has existed for fifty or sixty thousand years. Even the abilities of sages are not as good as before. There's a way!"

Duan De then turned to Qi Zhe and said, "Later I will venture deeper into the tomb to explore the ancestors' mausoleum. You will use the magic pot lid to meet me outside and act according to my signal!"

Duan De is an expert in tomb raiding and can usually get into serious trouble on his own, but he is worried about being discovered by the experts of the Five Elements Palace. So he plans to have Qi Zhe meet him outside.

Qi Zhe nodded upon hearing this, took the lid of the magic jar, and said, "Go ahead, and if anything happens, I'll activate the Imperial Weapon to bring you out."

As soon as Qi Zhe finished speaking, Duan De's face lit up with excitement. He rushed straight into the Five Elements Palace's mountain gate, his figure gradually disappearing into the power of the Five Elements.

Qi Zhe couldn't see anything from outside the mountain gate, so he could only stand on the outer edge of the mountain and continue to wait.

They waited for several hours, from noon until evening, but Duan De did not appear or give any signal for him to come to their aid.

"whoosh whoosh"

As the air was being torn apart, some disciples of the Five Elements Palace returned from somewhere outside the mountains at dusk, traveling in twos and threes.

Upon seeing this, Qi Zhe immediately concealed himself, without alerting the other party.

However, just as Qi Zhe was waiting for the other party to leave, a disciple of the Five Elements Palace suddenly fell from the sky, touching the cloth bag in his arms and exclaiming in surprise:
"What happened? My Originium is gone!"

There is a source stone mine located more than 300 miles away from the Five Elements Palace. Since its discovery, it has been occupied by the Five Elements Palace and has been mined for more than 3,000 years.

These disciples had all returned from that mine, carrying a large amount of source stones and source blocks. If they were lost, they would certainly be punished by the sect.

The Five Palaces disciple who had lost the Source Stones was filled with panic. He searched through all his storage bags but couldn't find the bag of Source Stones, which caused the expressions of the surrounding disciples to change drastically.

"Damn it, how could it disappear? Everyone we passed along the way was from our sect. Could the source stone have flown away on its own?" someone muttered under their breath.

"Damn it, you lost the source stones, so we'll all be searched too. We might even end up on Five Punishment Peak, and then we'll be in real trouble."

"."

As several disciples of the Five Elements Palace discussed the matter, Qi Zhe was quite surprised and hid in the shadows, stroking his chin in thought.

"Interesting, could it really have flown away on its own?"

The Originium in this world is indeed very peculiar. Some Originium Kings contain creatures that can manipulate fields, just like the Divine Child in the Ji Family Stone Workshop.

They can silently conceal themselves, quietly shift their positions among the rocks, and without the restrictions of the Dao pattern array, they can even fly and disappear underground.

This group of Five Elements Palace disciples may have encountered this situation, as that person brought out a strange stone sealed with a living being from the mining area.

The strange stone may have lulled the group into a false sense of security on the way, allowing it to slip away silently. By the time the group realized what had happened, it was too late.

With a few sighs, the disciples of the Five Elements Palace left in fear, finding it hard to accept the loss of the source stones.

As the group left, Qi Zhe suddenly noticed that a rock the size of a washbasin not far away moved slightly and was about to take flight.

"Damn it! I've run into it!" Qi Zhe was not about to let the other party fly away. He flipped his palm and unleashed countless Dao patterns that wrapped around the stone.
