Chapter 792: Chapter 393: Qing Yi’s Reward, The Heavenly Destiny Stone (Part 2)
Glancing at Lu Yun, a fleeting, imperceptible smile flashed across Qing Yi’s eyes.
As an ancient being that had acquired spiritual intelligence for millions of years, he had seen all kinds of geniuses. Very few Heavenly Prides had ever caught his eye throughout the eons.
Especially after Ancestor Qinghuo’s passing, he found himself losing interest in everything, rarely manifesting before others for hundreds, even thousands of years.
But Lu Yun was different, having entered the divine and demonic forbidden realms; such a Heavenly Pride had never been seen in the Green Flame Palace throughout the ages, and he felt compelled to reveal himself in person.
“Hehe, Elder Qing Yi, I’ve about finished looking at this old stele, shall we next perhaps…”
Lu Yun fiddled with the hem of his clothes, looking at Qing Yi with a flushed face. To those unaware of his true nature, he might appear a shy youth.
Qing Yi, being who he was, saw through Lu Yun’s ruse in an instant but chose not to call him out, merely nodding slightly: “I once bestowed upon Jiang Taichu a supreme Divine Ability of slaughter. You are even more astonishing than he was back then, and indeed, your reward should surpass his.”
“However, I have many treasures and Divine Abilities on me, what exactly to bestow upon you…” Qing Yi pretended to ponder.
Lu Yun’s eyes darted around, smilingly he said, “Elder, I have no shortage of Divine Abilities. Being greedy doesn’t always lead to shoddy results. Why not bestow upon me a treasure, preferably one that can protect my life.”
.com“Hmm, very well.”
Qing Yi gave a slight nod, and with a flick of his sleeve, he struck Lu Yun with his palm.
With a boom, the world spun around him. Before Lu Yun could react, he was smacked out of the Forbidden Tower and landed heavily on the plaza, creating a huge pit in the ground made of celestial Profound Stone.
“Hmm…” Lu Yun’s mind was in disarray.
What happened to the promise of a treasure? Why had he been gifted with a palm strike instead?
Was the Tower Spirit really that quirky?
But even if it was, surely it shouldn’t go back on its word!
Before Lu Yun could ponder further, he felt a burning pain in his backside.
The pain reached deep into his soul, lingering for a long time.
Lu Yun was certain that the other party had done it on purpose, not only catapulting him out of the Forbidden Tower but also temporarily sealing his physical body’s self-healing ability.
“The treasure has been given to you already. As for what kind it is, find it out for yourself.”
Just as Lu Yun was about to curse aloud, a faint voice echoed in his mind.
“Already given to me?” Lu Yun was startled and quickly checked himself, from the soles of his feet to the strands of his hair, but found nothing.
Not believing his situation, he inspected his interior with his consciousness but still found nothing.
Lu Yun smiled wryly: “Could it be that I’ve encountered a disrespectful elder…”
As soon as he said that, Lu Yun tensed. He suddenly felt movement deep within his Cave Heavens.
There, a light soared into the sky, causing the Cave Heaven World to tremble.
Lu Yun focused his attention and looked far ahead, only to discover that the source of all the commotion was a stone with mottled patterns, emitting a colorful light.
Upon seeing the stone, an intense feeling of familiarity emerged spontaneously.
The Rainbow Divine Stone.
Indeed, it was extremely similar, almost identical, to the Rainbow Divine Stone he had previously obtained.
In size and shape alike.
The only difference was that the stone carried flashing Great Dao patterns, making Lu Yun’s heart quiver.
“Ah… what happened?” Hearing a thunderous noise, a crowd ran over in shock.
The Forbidden Plaza was built of celestial Profound Stone, indestructible. Yet now a huge hole had appeared, causing everyone to be taken aback.
“Who is this guy, with a body so terrifying that he made such a mess here, yet seems unharmed?” Someone exclaimed in surprise.
“Why does he look familiar?”
“Right, I feel like I’ve seen him before… He looks a bit like Lu Yun, who passed the sixteenth layer of the Forbidden Tower,” a female disciple said shyly.
“It’s obviously Lu Yun,” her companion rolled her eyes and said irritably.
“Is it really Lu Yun?” The female disciple couldn’t help covering her mouth, her eyes twinkling with stars: “Thank goodness I didn’t go to the Battle Platform, or I would’ve missed the chance to see Lu Yun himself. If that had happened, I surely would’ve regretted it for life.”
“Cut it out, give up on your unrealistic fantasy. A genius like Lu Yun is not within your reach,” someone snorted.
“Sister Lili, you’re really breaking my heart here!”
…
In fact, Lu Yun had heard the conversation of the group, and he was also extremely shocked. The news of his passing the sixteenth layer of the Forbidden Tower had somehow spread.
Knowing that he had always kept his achievements concealed, the others’ words couldn’t be made up, and he wondered how the news had gotten out.
However, he soon stopped paying attention to everything outside. He was stunned.
The Rainbow Divine Stone with those mysterious Great Dao patterns was awakening a secret power within his Cave Heavens.
At this moment, Rules began to manifest faintly within the Cave Heavens, flickering in the depths.
“This is…” Lu Yun’s heart trembled with shock.
Rules had long merged into the Cave Heavens to reinforce its world, and without his active intervention, they should not have appeared.
Now, however, they were drawn out by the Great Dao patterns on the Rainbow Divine Stone, manifesting on their own.
“The Power of the Cave Sky World is depleting rapidly…” Lu Yun reflected inwardly, his gaze intensely fixed on the Rainbow Divine Stone. Beneath its patterns, golden lines appeared, strokes and lines, horizontal and vertical… coming together, forming characters that glittered like stars, with Divine Power surging through them.
