Chapter 59: Immortal Devouring
Since the path to the lake had already been opened, Qin Yuan flew straight into the lake.
His eyes shone as he faintly sensed the aura of a Fragment beneath the lake.
Splash!
He jumped into the lake.
It was actually full of energy which was instantly absorbed by his body even though he didn't command it.
This energy was so pure, he thought he would gain an additional 1,000 years of lifespan just by soaking in that lake for an hour if his body hadn't recovered.
Moreover, it could definitely help a Saint Ancestor below the Ninth Stage break through once.
Of course, for the seventh and eighth stages, the water required was enormous.
Without thinking, Qin Yuan put the lake water as much as possible into his Storage Ring.
Even though the lake wasn't big, the water didn't decrease in the slightest because at the bottom of the lake there was a spring that was constantly spewing new water.
It was also golden in color, but Qin Yuan thought it was one level above the Holy Spring that he used to cultivate the Immortal Diamond Body.
'Perhaps this is the next level of the Holy Spring,' thought Qin Yuan.
At the side of the spring, Qin Yuan saw a Fragment, shining like a star.
"Really lucky," he said to himself before rushing over to the Fragment.
With a swift movement, he grabbed it.
Ding...
[You managed to obtain 1 Heavenly Scripture Fragment, you gained 10,000 Karma Points. The next one you will get 20,000 Karma Points.]
[Karma Points: 27,900]
"System, how much does it cost to read it?" Qin Yuan asked.
If he just wanted to use it, it wouldn't matter if he didn't read it anymore since he already had the method.
However, he wanted the Immortal Technique recorded within.
Apart from that, he also wanted to know if there were any other records of the Heavenly Path since it should still be incomplete.
[20,000 Karma Points.] System replied.
Qin Yuan gulped at how expensive it was, making him wonder how much the next one would cost.
Even so, he didn't care.
"Let me read it," he said.
Ding
[Order accepted!]
[20,000 Karma Points used to read a Heavenly Scripture Fragment.]
[Karma Points: 7,900]
Immediately after that Qin Yuan felt his eyes heat up, just like last time.
Countless words appeared in the Fragment, entering his head directly.
"Mmm..." He hummed softly.
The Heavenly Path record was still the same as before, he didn't find any additional information.
Merely, the Immortal Technique left him in awe.
(Immortal Devouring)
The description of this technique is very simple, basically it can swallow anything.
Anything that is swallowed will not be able to come out unless the owner allows it and the owner can destroy everything that has been swallowed into ashes.
Of course, it also has a lot of additional features, each of which is very scary.
"System, help me master this technique." Qin Yuan immediately gave the order.
This was not a technique that required certain materials like the Immortal Diamond Body. All it takes is an understanding of the technique.
Of course, understanding it was as difficult as going against the heavens.
There's even a side note that you probably won't be able to understand it even if you are an Immortal.
Ding
[Order accepted!]
[100 Points of Karma are used to comprehend the Immortal Devouring Technique.]
[Karma Points: 7,800]
Right after that, Qin Yuan's golden eyes turned extremely black for an instant, similar to a black hole.
"Great!"
He couldn't help but extend his hand forward.
Vaguely, there was a small black hole in his hand. It spun around, sucking in the lake's water very quickly.
The reason it was only that size was actually due to the pressure of the space here, otherwise, it would definitely be as big as the sun even though right now he hadn't used his full power.
It only took a few seconds, the lake water became dry.
The speed at which the black hole sucks in is millions of times faster than the speed at which the spring produces its water.
The Butterfly Figure of the Sky Butterfly Queen who was currently dodging the Beasts' attacks was surprised at the sight.
The Beasts themselves showed expressions of astonishment.
Qin Yuan, on the other hand, turned his gaze to the spring.
Previously, he thought there was no chance to take it because it clung tightly to that world.
But now, he couldn't help but have the urge to try sucking it out.
He then pointed his palm at the spring, it was between the gaps of a rock.
When his palm faced the rock, the black hole in his palm immediately became bigger, now it was the size of his body as he used his full strength.
Shu!
An extremely strong suction force radiated from the black hole, the surrounding rocks were instantly sucked into it.
Quickly, the rock where the spring was located began to shake.
The shaking of the rock caused the area around the lake to vibrate as well.
"Need help?"
Qin Yuan suddenly received a message from the Sky Butterfly Queen.
He looked at her and nodded.
Shu!
From the butterfly's mouth, an arrow of wind emerged. It instantly shot out at an unimaginable speed.
Bang!
It hit the rock, causing it to crack.
Immediately after that the spring separated from the rock.
The spring water entered the black hole in an instant.
When the black hole disappeared, the spring was already in Qin Yuan's hands.
"Great," he said.
With that, he could continue to produce that golden water in his sect.
He immediately jumped into the air and said to the Sky Butterfly Queen. "Let's go!"
The queen returned to her human form, enveloped her body with wind and flew westward.
This time, she didn't look at him or show any surprise. Qin Yuan didn't know if she was serious or just pretending.
"I want the spring too," she said in a serious tone after a while of flying.
In response, Qin Yuan flew closer to her.
"Take this!" He casually handed the spring in his hand to the Queen.
In this situation, she had no other choice but to stare at him.
After a moment of silence, she reached for the spring.
"Thank you," she said.
It was a very surprising response.
It had to be known that she had the right to it because of their agreement, but she still thanked him.
Qin Yuan couldn't help but smile faintly as he replied, "That's your right!"
A tree simply caught Qin Yuan's attention as he and the Sky Butterfly Queen crossed the meadow.
It had red colored leaves and they were very lush, like a banyan tree.
Although not tall, it took up a very large area with many red fruits hanging from its branches.
Each fruit was like a star, not only glowing but also emitting boundless spiritual energy.
There is one fruit that is really interesting.
It was similar to a mango with a red color like blood.
Although it was very small, its sharp light made it the most conspicuous.
Of course, its aura was also the greatest.
Looking at the fruit, gave the feeling as if seeing a gigantic Primordial Beast that could devour the sun and moon.
"To think I'll see this fruit again, Primordial Nirvana Fruit," said the Sky Butterfly Queen.
Qin Yuan saw it for the first time but he had heard of it.
It was said that this fruit could help a Divine Beast become a Primordial Beast.
Looking at the thousands of Beasts surrounding the tree, Qin Yuan narrowed his eyes as he thought about how to pick up the fruit.
"Queen, did you break through with that fruit?" He then asked the Sky Butterfly Queen, who responded with a light nod.
"Of course, that still doesn't guarantee success... The Divine Beast's ability to unleash his bloodline power will determine whether he breaks through or not... Before consuming the fruit, the Divine Beast would at least need to develop his bloodline to the pinnacle."
The Sky Butterfly Queen paused and looked at Qin Yuan before continuing, "Do you want it? --- As I recall there is one Divine Beast by your side... However, I'm sure she won't succeed unless she swallows the tree whole."
"Swallow the tree? That can also be done?"
Qin Yuan couldn't help but wonder if he could retrieve the tree with Immortal Devouring.
"The tree where the Primordial Nirvana Fruit grows contains at least half its essence and many other essences, so that can also help."
"I see!"
'However, if I gave the tree to Su Mei, Qian Suyun might be in big trouble.'
Qin Yuan smiled wryly.
Of course, he could also look for something that could help Qian Suyun break through. But he knew that the time would not be enough. He wasn't even sure if he had time to retrieve the tree.
'Maybe I can pick it up first and hand it over to her later,' he thought.
40 minutes later, he and the Sky Butterfly Queen finally arrived at the next lake.
Only, when they got there, the lake was completely dry, no more springs.
"Primordial Azure Dragon or Goddess of Ice, which of them has taken it? Or has each of them taken it"
"Both of them are very strong and unpredictable, it wouldn't be too surprising if they had an ace to take that Spring," the Sky Butterfly Queen replied.
"It's a pity, but well, we can't have it all, other people have the ability too."
Qin Yuan and the Sky Butterfly Queen immediately resumed their journey.
The third lake they had headed for turned out to be of the same state, so it was like Qin Yuan's second guess.
