Chapter 79: Yellow Spring Stone Coffin, Great Devouring Technique Completed
After observing all the Dao patterns in the eight major halls, Hua Tiandu had a new understanding of the overall appearance of the Hall of Immortality.
He returned to the first major hall and lifted a stone slab in the center of the hall, revealing a well. The sound of water flowing could be heard from the well.
There are bright Taoist patterns engraved at the bottom of the ancient well, which are more complicated and mysterious than the Taoist patterns in the main hall.
These Taoist patterns contain the ancient sages' insights into the great Dao of heaven and earth, and can be said to be a more alternative inheritance.
Now that he has glimpsed this kind of inheritance, Hua Tiandu naturally has no intention of letting it go.
He jumped down from the well and plunged into the yellow spring water at the bottom of the well.
The Yellow Spring water flowed, accompanied by a source vein, flowing towards the depths of the Palace of Immortality.
As Hua Tiandu moved forward along the source vein, he comprehended the Dao patterns on the source vein, absorbed them, and promoted his own Dao pattern cultivation.
After walking for a distance, he saw a circular passage above that led upward.
"This is the ancient well in the second major hall!"
He didn't stop and kept going.
After passing through five ancient wells, Hua Tiandu arrived at the end of the source vein.
He saw an irregular hole through which the Yellow Spring water flowed out, thus forming a circulation under the Palace of Eternal Youth, flowing continuously.
"Whoa whoa whoa~"
Suddenly, there was a vibration sound behind him. He turned around and caught a glimpse of a divine source flowing along with the Yellow Spring water. Inside the huge divine source, there was a stone coffin sealed.
"No wonder it's called Huangquan Tomb, it turns out there's a stone coffin sealed inside!"
Hua Tian did not act rashly, but simply stuck to the stone wall to avoid the divine source and the sarcophagus.
However, something unexpected happened. As the sarcophagus passed by him, it stopped for a brief moment.
"Om~"
Along with a clear sound, a divine thought rushed out from the sarcophagus.
In an instant, Hua Tiandu received a complete formation diagram.
"Help me out of this predicament, and I will reward you handsomely!"
A whisper reached his ears.
Perhaps it was the small movement of the sarcophagus that caused countless Dao patterns to react. These Dao patterns evolved into several layers of ground nets, which wrapped around the sarcophagus and completely sealed it off.
With the power of countless lines, the sarcophagus returned to normal and began to flow again along with the Yellow Spring Water, circulating in this underground space.
For safety reasons, Hua Tiandu did not stop and flew up along the seventh ancient well and arrived at the seventh level of the ancient palace.
He sat down upright and comprehended the formation diagram sent by the being in the sarcophagus.
"The existence inside the sarcophagus is indeed not simple."
"Although he has been sealed in the stone coffin for countless years, he has not died. Instead, he has figured out the Dao patterns laid by the ancient sages and figured out a way to crack it!"
For a moment, Hua Tian thought of a lot of things.
He cut off all distracting thoughts and turned to comprehend the formation diagram, comparing it with what he had learned.
Three days passed like this, and Hua Tiandu finally figured out the result.
If the Dao patterns laid down by the ancient sages were for the purpose of turning the Yellow Springs Tomb into their own use, which is "positive", then the formation diagram handed down in the sarcophagus is "negative", which is to absorb all the vital energy to supplement and strengthen the Yellow Springs Tomb itself.
Hua Tiandu, who has learned the Source Heavenly Book, certainly has his own ideas in his mind. Not only will he not follow the path of the ancient sages, but he will also not follow the ideas of the being in the sarcophagus to reverse the Dao patterns in the Palace of Immortality.
He walked to the ninth level of the ancient temple, found the altar, and placed the remains of the ancient holy body engraved with the Devouring Demonic Pattern on it.
Then, he walked out and began to change the Dao patterns in the Palace of Immortality, so that it could speed up the conversion of the mysterious power in the Yellow Springs Tomb, provide it for the remains on the altar to absorb, and promote the evolution of the Devouring Magic Patterns.
As the Taoist patterns in the ancient palaces and wells were changed, the Palace of Eternal Youth began to tremble slightly, and the speed of transforming it into the Yellow Springs Tomb increased by dozens of times.
Countless divine powers gushed out from the ground, gathered towards the altar, and were swallowed up without a trace by the remains of the ancient holy body.
Gradually, the remains began to melt, and the magic patterns on them began to extend and evolve in the void, forming a large formation. Standing in front of the altar, Hua Tiandu was very excited, "The Great Devouring Technique is about to succeed!"
Five days passed in a flash, and the remains of the holy body completely disappeared, and the divine power gushing out of the Yellow Springs Tomb was almost gone. It was obvious that the divine power had been completely consumed after being violently transformed.
A large formation, revealing the perfect devouring Taoism, flew out from the altar, merged into Hua Tiandu's mind, and attached to one side of the Great Yin-Yang Technique.
"Shu~"
Waves of devouring energy, mixed with traces of golden holy body essence, washed down, transforming Hua Tiandu's body inside and out, causing it to undergo various changes.
His body glowed faintly golden, exuding a sense of immortality.
The strength of the whole body is increasing step by step, and it is estimated that it has exceeded 20 million horsepower. At the same time, the potential of the body is also gradually deepening.
"Is this the secret of the Ancient Saint's invincibility?"
Feeling the countless changes in his body, Hua Tian felt a little sighed.
He couldn't wait to take out the saint-level God King Body essence and refine it into a special God Body vitality to replenish himself.
Hua Tiandu felt a sense of his body being replenished, which was very mysterious.
His sea of consciousness actually began to expand, able to accommodate more energy.
"The way of devouring, turning everything into its own use, is indeed very mysterious."
At this moment, Hua Tian felt that his body faintly possessed some characteristics of the ancient holy body and divine body.
"Boom boom boom~"
In his mind, the strong energy continued to rise, and soon filled his expanded brain.
In desperation, Hua Tiandu had to use the method of compressing the Qi again.
After a while, he opened his eyes and walked back into the basement of the Palace of Eternal Youth.
The originally flowing Yellow Spring water has become calm and still, turning into a pool of stagnant water, losing all its vitality.
"I wonder if the Yellow Spring Water in the Shrouding Heaven World has the same effect as the Yellow Spring Water in the Eternal Life World?"
With this thought in mind, Hua Tiandu took out the Shanhai Bottle.
This bottle came from the Jiang family. It was the storage equipment used by the elders of the Jiang family to transport divine materials. Later, it came into the hands of Hua Tiandu.
The jade bottle engraved with the terrain of mountains and rivers emits suction, drawing the Yellow Spring Water into it.
Gradually, the water level of the Yellow Spring began to drop, and the source vein began to reveal its true form.
As the Yellow Spring water disappeared, the sarcophagus also floated to the nearby area with the water flow and sank to the bottom.
Due to Hua Tian's reckless extraction of divine power, the Yellow Springs Tomb has lost all its magical powers.
Not only has the Yellow Spring Water lost its vitality, but even the source vein that has now been revealed has turned into real stone, and the vitality within it has long been drained.
The divine source that sealed the sarcophagus was no exception; it had already disintegrated and disappeared.
After Hua Tiandu collected the Yellow Spring Water, he walked to the sarcophagus, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist his curiosity and opened it.
"Bang~"
The coffin lid was opened, revealing a gray skeleton lying inside.
"This... should not be a human race."
Judging from the shape of the corpse, the being sealed in the sarcophagus should be an alien race, it is unknown whether it is an ancient race or a demon race.
As for the realm of this being, it should be the realm of sage, otherwise he would not have been sealed by the ancient holy body of that person who had cultivated into a saint.
"Swallow!"
Hua Tiandu used the Great Devouring Technique to devour all the bones in the coffin and turn them into nutrients for himself.
