Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 792 - 790: The Five Elements Qiankun Stone
However, when that immense and authoritative aura emanated from the stone chamber and fell upon Ge Dongxu, he felt not only the majesty as if it were the very heaven and earth but also an indescribable, familiar warmth.
What astonished Ge Dongxu even more was that the Peach Wood Sword in his hand trembled slightly, emitting a black and green glow. Not only that, but the Bagua Furnace pendant that had vanished into his body years ago without a trace suddenly surfaced in his mind at this moment.
He "saw" the long-lost Bagua Furnace, hovering above the Sea of Consciousness; within the furnace, a fire blazed fiercely as if it were the sun, casting out billions of red rays.
"This…" Ge Dongxu's face was filled with shock, yet his feet were already unconsciously moving towards the stone chamber.
When Ge Dongxu's foot stepped into the stone chamber, the cluster of five-colored radiance seemed to sense his presence and began to withdraw.
The five-colored radiance faded, revealing the scene that was engulfed in its glow.
Ge Dongxu saw a gaunt Daoist sitting cross-legged on the ground, his hands crossed and placed atop his knees.
Within the clasp of the crossed hands was a piece of five-colored jade that was no longer emitting any five-colored brilliance.
Seeing this Daoist, Ge Dongxu's body trembled, and tears flowed uncontrollably, as he knelt down respectfully before him.
Because this Daoist was none other than Ge Hong.
He was the founding patriarch of the Pill Talisman Sect, the ancestor who had appeared in his mind and imparted Daoist teachings!
As Ge Dongxu knelt down to pay his respects, Ge Hong's face visibly aged at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a moment, the originally handsome, gaunt Daoist turned into a skeleton, and his Daoist robe also turned to ash.
"Ancestral Master!" cried Ge Dongxu as he saw what happened and wept while bowing once more.
"Heaven is just, the old man has finally waited for his descendant." As Ge Dongxu was weeping and bowing again, a wisp of green smoke emanated from the skeleton, condensing into an illusory figure in the air.
The illusory figure was the likeness of Ge Hong.
A voice full of vicissitude and myriad emotions emerged from the mouth of the illusory figure.
"Ancestral Master!" Seeing this, Ge Dongxu hurriedly bowed his head again.
"This stone is known as the Five Elements Qiankun Stone. You can collect it into your body with your Lifebound Essence. The mysteries within, as well as my affairs, if you have the fate, will naturally be unraveled once you break the Prohibitions placed upon it. Now, with your Cultivation so weak, it is of no benefit to know of it. It is best I do not speak of it. However, remember that the Five Elements Qiankun Stone must never be revealed to anyone, remember this well!" As Ge Hong spoke, his illusory figure faded more and more, and his admonishing voice also receded into the distance.
"Ancestral Master!" Ge Dongxu saw Ge Hong's figure becoming fainter and gradually disappearing into the void, feeling an indescribable grief, his face unknowingly awash with tears.
It was just like the year he watched his master gradually close his eyes before him, his voice slowly fading away.
A rustling sound woke Ge Dongxu from his grief.
He did not know when, but the small snakes that had been hiding outside the stone chamber, too afraid to come in, were now wriggling in.
"Begone!" In his grief, Ge Dongxu saw the small snakes intruding and disturbing Ge Hong's peace; a cold glint flashed in his eyes, a powerful aura erupted from his body, and with a wave of his hand towards the snakes, a fierce gust of wind swept across the ground, instantly rolling up and flinging the snakes out of the stone chamber.
Indeed, those snakes possessed some spirit energy. When Ge Dongxu flicked them away, they also faintly sensed the dangerous aura emanating from him and dared not slither in any longer.
After driving away the snakes, Ge Dongxu suppressed the sorrow in his heart, bowed three times to Ge Hong's skeleton, and then took the Five Elements Qiankun Stone from his hand.
As Ge Dongxu picked up the Five Elements Qiankun Stone, he clearly felt the space around it fluctuate and twist. There seemed to be a force tearing through space emanating from the stone.
With a look of surprise and curiosity, Ge Dongxu gazed at the swirling twists in the space before him. He couldn't discern what was happening, but he had a hunch that perhaps one day, with powerful cultivation and the lifting of the prohibitions his ancestor spoke of, he might use the Five Elements Qiankun Stone to break open space as well.
But for now, all of this was too far out of reach for him.
Ge Dongxu shook off his reverie and forced a drop of his lifebound essence blood onto the Five Elements Qiankun Stone.
Once Ge Dongxu's essence blood touched it, the Five Elements Qiankun Stone immediately burst into a dazzling display of multicolored light. However, in the blink of an eye, the light vanished and the stone gradually disappeared into Ge Dongxu's palm, leaving no trace behind.
Ge Dongxu was startled and quickly focused his mind to sense it, but he could no longer feel its presence; it was as if it had vanished into thin air.
This was different from the Bagua Furnace pendant. When that had disappeared, Ge Dongxu could still sense its presence and had even received some of Ge Hong's legacy through it. The only thing was, the Bagua Furnace pendant was hidden deep within his sea of consciousness, and with Ge Dongxu's current realm, he simply couldn't see it.
But now, with the Five Elements Qiankun Stone, Ge Dongxu couldn't feel it at all, yet it was undoubtedly inside his body.
"The object entrusted by my ancestor with so many warnings is indeed extraordinary!" Ge Dongxu concentrated once more but still could not feel the stone's presence and silently lamented, deciding not to waste his effort.
After ceasing his attempts to sense the Five Elements Qiankun Stone, Ge Dongxu began to take a closer look at his surroundings.
Aside from the entrance, he saw that the other three sides were made of stone walls and didn't have anything special, but there were three stalactites hanging from the ceiling.
The tips of these hanging stalactites were enveloped in mist, subtly emitting a faint fragrance.
Ge Dongxu purposely took a deep breath near them and felt as if his whole body was revitalized and his spirits lifted.
"Could it be that, over the years, the stalactites were bathed in the radiation of the five-colored light and nourished by spirit energy, which cultivated the legendary Zhone Ling Milk inside them?" Ge Dongxu secretly speculated and broke off one of the stalactites.
Inside the stalactite indeed hid a drop of milky white liquid, emitting an incredibly enticing fragrance.
Having just forced out a drop of essence blood to consecrate the Five Elements Qiankun Stone and feeling somewhat weak and tired, Ge Dongxu was enticed by the scent of the Zhone Ling Milk and couldn't help but lick it.
With that lick, the drop of Zhone Ling Milk entered his mouth, turning into a strand of extremely pure spirit energy that traveled straight down his throat and spread into his organs.
Instantly, every cell of Ge Dongxu's body, every nerve, seemed to bask in the sunshine, indescribably comfortable.
"What a treasure!" Ge Dongxu didn't dare delay and hurriedly sat cross-legged, starting to practice the Baopu Jiudan Xuan Kung Fu.
With this practice, Ge Dongxu felt the true qi in his body grow rapidly. After one circulation cycle, he faintly felt as if he had touched the threshold of the Eleventh Layer of Qi Cultivation. Not only that, but the drop of essence blood he had depleted also seemed to have been replenished.
