Shura City.
Deep within the Yan Huang Imperial Palace.
In Luo's Courtyard.
Lin Shanshan felt weak and dizzy, her body swaying, as the Snow Kirin helped her lie down on the large sofa in the living room.
After a while, Luo Ying and Luo Qianye were also assisted in by two palace maids.
Earlier, the three won had expended their essence blood at the Heavenly Craft Institute to support Luo Xiu, leaving them all very weak.
"Shanshan, are you okay?"
"Hmm...alright, how about you guys?"
"We're doing alright."
Lin Shanshan sighed and said, "I hope Dad wakes up soon."
Luo Ying said, "Don't worry, we just heard from Dean Ao that Your Majesty's condition is basically stable now."
Luo Qianye said, "Next, it depends on whether Stunning Phoenix Swan State over there is willing to help."
"..."
The three won were chatting on the sofa when Luo Qingxian suddenly walked into the living room and approached them.
Lin Shanshan sat up, "Aunt Qingxian, did you co to see for sothing?"
Luo Qingxian hurriedly reached out, pressing her fragrant shoulder back down onto the sofa, saying, "Yes, there's sothing I've got to give you."
While speaking, she took out a wooden box from the Human Sanctuary and placed it on the ground.
Lin Shanshan looked curious, "What is this?"
At this mont, Luo Ying and Luo Qianye also gathered around curiously.
As Luo Qingxian opened the box, the three won discovered that inside was actually a heap of bones!
Luo Ying's beautiful eyes trembled, suddenly aware of sothing, she looked up at Luo Qingxian and asked, "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, is this—the remains of that Buddha Killer?"
Luo Qingxian gently nodded, saying to Lin Shanshan, "Earlier, upon observing, I felt that this particular skull and this stone should be very useful. As for the other bones, they can also be used to refine magical treasures, considering they're from the Heavenly Emperor's bones."
Lin Shanshan forced a smile, "You may say so, but playing around with other people's bones feels unsettling."
Luo Ying suggested, "Why not use them to craft magical weapons and then reward those ritorious soldiers?"
Luo Qianye nodded, saying, "Not to ntion, just this leg bone...could be quite good for a sword or knife handle."
Luo Qingxian said to Lin Shanshan, "How to handle it is up to you. These are your father's spoils, but he hasn't yet awakened, so I thought it was more appropriate to give them to you."
With difficulty, Lin Shanshan sat up, then left the sofa, squatting beside the box. She covered her hands with Spiritual Power, turning it into gloves, and reached in to rummage through the pile of remains. Shortly, she extracted the "stone" Luo Qingxian spoke of.
After examining it for a while, Lin Shanshan looked up at Luo Qingxian and said, "Aunt Qingyu, I think this stone is so type of concretization."
Luo Qingyu remained expressionless, "I don't really know either, but the aura contained is quite strong, so it's likely not a common thing, considering it's from the Heavenly Emperor's body."
After thinking for a mont, Lin Shanshan said, "On Earth, concretions in dog's bodies are called dog treasures, in pigs called pig treasures, in horses called horse treasures, and this bald donkey's, I think should be called..."
Luo Ying asked, "Human treasure? Or Buddha treasure?"
Lin Shanshan said, "Donkey treasure."
The three won were imdiately speechless, looking at Lin Shanshan with peculiar expressions.
Had it not been for the heavy heart, the three won would have laughed aloud.
Truly like father, like daughter—they all like being seriously unserious.
Luo Ying suddenly said, "Master Ping is knowledgeable; he might know what this donkey treasure is good for."
Lin Shanshan put the donkey treasure aside, then continued to reach into the box for sothing else.
A mont later.
She held up the skull in both hands and found the face part of it was sowhat strange, unlike a normal skull.
With a "click," a soft sound rang out.
Curiosity peaked as the face of the skull suddenly loosened and then transford to ash and scattered, leaving just a white mask in her hands.
The mask was heavy but also thin, and didn't appear to be bone-like, rather, it seed polished from so stone material.
After observing for a while, Lin Shanshan said, "Looks like we'll really need Uncle Ping to have a look."
Luo Qingxian suddenly said, "There's one more thing."
"What is it?"
Luo Qingxian got straight to the point: "Once the Sacred Tree withers, the Star Sky Corridor connecting to the Celestial Realm will erge. I will imdiately lead the Sky Mastiff Knights who have transferred to Yan Huang Star back to the Heavenly Plains to sever that Star Sky Corridor, preventing Celestials from descending."
And then added, "However, Luo Hao will definitely occupy the Heavenly Plains, so the Sky Mastiff Knight Order alone isn't enough."
Lin Shanshan understood, "So you're considering borrowing soldiers, right?"
Luo Qingxian gently nodded.
Lin Shanshan pondered for a while and said, "Aunt Qingxian, you know, since Luo Hao has occupied the Heavenly Plains, in a short ti, we certainly can't attack inside. The teleportation arrays that wake up in the Heavenly Plains have been either sealed or dismantled by them."
Luo Qingxian: "I understand."
Lin Shanshan stood up, gazing at her, "I also understand, that Star Sky Corridor must be severed as soon as possible. I also happen to be going to the Lingtian Plateau to avenge my dad and Aunt Qingyu, so you don't need to borrow soldiers, we'll go together."
"Okay. Then when do we depart?"
Lin Shanshan asked, "How much longer will it take for the Sacred Tree to completely wither?"
"At most one to two months."
Lin Shanshan furrowed her brows slightly, suddenly called out, "Snow Kirin."
"What are you up to, little sis?"
The Snow Kirin's jarring coarse voice ca from the side.
Lin Shanshan turned her head to see its mouth oily, apparently having snacked secretly.
"Issue the command, rally all forces and prepare for battle!"
"..."
...
Wutongzhou.
Phoenix Perch Palace.
Lao Ba sat in a chair like a human, sticking out his fat bird belly, watching the disintegrating Jiang Wanli before him, his mood gradually turning heavy.
He knew Jiang Wanli had a Body of the Dark Land; unless Luo Xiu voluntarily dismissed "Elysian Nether Earth," or Luo Xiu perished, the Body of the Dark Land would never disintegrate.
"Old rooster, what the hell do you an? Trying to lay waste?"
Jiang Wanli looked down at his cracking chest, slowly saying, "This isn't my wish, it's disintegrating on its own. Probably... Azure Emperor removed it."
Lao Ba snorted, saying, "No way! The Crown Prince gave you the Body of the Dark Land to aid in controlling Wutongzhou, so it's impossible he'd suddenly remove it."
"Eighth Master here has so brains at least!"
Jiang Wanli suddenly smiled happily, "Then it only can an he died."
"Damn!"
Lao Ba spread his wings, crashing over to kick him and explode.
Then he opened his mouth and spewed a stream of black flas laced with gold thread, instantly incinerating Jiang Wanli's residual soul to void.
Looking at the sky far away, the three golden feathers on his head stood, his mood growing heavier.
"I swear, could it really be that the Crown Prince is in trouble?"
"Damn it, Eighth Master here must go check!"
"..."
...
Stunning Phoenix Swan State.
Yingwo City.
Stunning Phoenix Immortal watched Lin Xiyue, whose eyes were swollen and red, gently pull her into an embrace.
"Xi Yue, don't be like this anymore; seeing you like this, it breaks my heart."
"I can promise to try, but I can't guarantee it will be effective."
"..."
