Chapter 2258: Chapter 2293: The Disappeared Bone Pendant
After Crimson Flame said this, Zheng Tianren couldn’t say anything more. He nodded and said, "Mm, if anything happens, just come to Han City to find me. If you want to join our Zheng Family, you can also come to Han City. I’ll recommend you to the clan leader. Take care of yourselves, I have to go back and report first. Goodbye."
Zheng Tianren had been waiting here for several days already and was very impatient. He also had to return to report and confess his mistakes, and see how to handle things from now on. In the future, once the Sirius Clan came to question them, how was he supposed to explain...
For the Zheng Family, Ding Fan was the most important. The Zheng Family didn’t truly want to absorb Crimson Flame and the others; after all, they were Ding Fan’s servants.
After Zheng Tianren left, Zhong Zhiyong wanted to inquire about Ding Fan’s situation, but Crimson Flame glanced at him, and Zhong Zhiyong immediately understood. They no longer spoke, only waited in silence.
After waiting a while longer, once Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong’s Divine Sense confirmed that there was no one nearby, Ling Yan’s Divine Sense immediately transmitted inside.
In just the blink of an eye, the space produced a faint ripple, and a gigantic coffin flew out from the purple and black thin mist. Ding Fan removed the Protective Barrier and shouted in a deep voice toward the two of them: "Get up here, quickly, we’re leaving immediately!"
Zhong Zhiyong soared up in ecstatic joy, and Crimson Flame also shot upward. The gigantic coffin flickered, a blue Protective Barrier appeared, and the coffin vanished in midair, quietly flying away.
"Zhong Zhiyong, you’ll be the one to inject True Yuan into the coffin from inside and control its flight. Watch carefully: if you want to turn left, you control these few Runes..."
After Ding Fan flew several hundred li away from Evil Spirit Mountain, his True Yuan was nearly exhausted and he simply couldn’t go any farther. He called Zhong Zhiyong over and told him how to control the coffin’s flight.
The flying mechanism on the coffin was very easy to control. In fact, it was similar to an ancient Chariot or a Super Airship; the difference was that this coffin’s flight speed was extremely fast, even comparable to a Divine Realm Fifth Level expert.
The invisibility function of the Dragon Emperor’s Coffin was also very strong. Without Divine Realm Fifth Level strength or higher, it couldn’t be detected; Divine Realm Sixth Level experts should be able to sense a little.
However, Divine Realm Sixth Level experts weren’t like cabbages; they weren’t everywhere. As long as they didn’t get close to those cities, and if their luck wasn’t too terrible, then running into a Divine Realm Sixth Level expert in the wild should be very difficult.
Ding Fan planned to have Zhong Zhiyong control the coffin to fly a very long distance, far away from the territories of the Zheng Family and those clans of Taiwang Palace, then try to find a way to board a large Super Airship directly to Sirius City.
After some trial and error, Zhong Zhiyong learned how to control the coffin’s flight. Ding Fan finally let out a long breath of relief and sat on the coffin with his eyes closed to rest.
Crimson Flame sat cross-legged on the other side, circulating his True Yuan to force out all the remaining poison. Now he stopped, looked at Ding Fan, and waited for him to explain to the two of them.
Ding Fan had absolute confidence in Crimson Flame, and Zhong Zhiyong was his servant; he had no need to hide anything. At this time he explained to the two of them: "This is the Night Wolf Great Emperor’s coffin. It was originally in the Great Emperor’s tomb, later it flew away. There should be a Ghost inside this coffin—I don’t know exactly what it is. That Demon once tried to control my body, so for a time I was under its control. After entering Evil Spirit Mountain, I happened to kill the Demon’s remaining Soul, so that I could fly out of Evil Spirit Mountain..."
Ding Fan didn’t explain very clearly; many of his secrets weren’t spoken aloud. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust the two of them, it was just that there was a Sirius mark in his Soul—this matter was really strange, and he didn’t want to tell anyone. A secret known by only one person was a true secret.
As for Ding Fan’s explanation, Crimson Flame had no doubts. Some time ago, Ding Fan clearly hadn’t been acting like himself; those Blood Red eyes and savage roars were obviously either madness or being controlled by a Demon.
How could Ding Fan have killed such a powerful Demon?
The two of them didn’t ask, but Crimson Flame felt this was only natural, because Ding Fan was the Inheritance Disciple of the old Sirius, Ding Aohuang. How could Ding Aohuang not secretly leave some Martial Skills and Treasures for Ding Fan?
As for why Ding Fan could control this gigantic coffin and secretly fly away? At this moment, Crimson Flame also thought of something. He reached up, grabbed his face, took off the Ghost Mask, and handed it to Ding Fan, saying, "Young Master, you can wear this mask, just in case."
"Mm..."
Ding Fan’s face had already been seen by many people, and his attacks had also injured many. Wearing the mask was safer; at least experts below the Divine Realm Sixth Level Realm simply wouldn’t be able to sense them.
"Young Master, your fortune is truly boundless!"
Zhong Zhiyong sighed as he spoke. For Ding Fan to survive such a harsh situation, he really was extremely lucky.
He fell silent for a moment, then asked curiously, "Young Master, when you were dragging the coffin and charging forward, that Martial Skill that let you split into dozens of different bodies—was that the Heaven Earth True Insight you comprehended? Or was it that Evil Spirit’s Divine Skill? Crimson Flame said you knew a Shadowless Divine Skill—was it that one?"
Although Zhong Zhiyong didn’t believe Ding Fan had that kind of ability, he was still very curious, so he asked Ding Fan this question.
Ding Fan widened his eyes and said to Zhong Zhiqiang, "You think that with my current Realm, I can understand Heaven Earth True Insight? The Shadowless Divine Skill is a skill I obtained, but I don’t know whether that Evil Spirit had fused his Heaven Earth True Insight or some other Divine Skill to possess such powerful Power.
After hearing Ding Fan’s words, Crimson Flame nodded, and Zhong Zhiyong also nodded along, then offered a suggestion: "Young Master, since that Evil Spirit released this skill through your body, then there must still be some traces. You can think more on it, carefully recall the situation when you channeled it. Maybe... you’ll have a chance to deduce that True Insight."
"Hm?"
Crimson Flame’s face clearly froze for a moment, then filled with excitement as he said to Ding Fan, "Yes, yes, Young Master! This is an extremely rare opportunity. Although it was the Demon controlling you to release this kind of Divine Skill, there must be residual memories in your mind. As long as you follow those memories to deduce it, you might be able to understand that True Insight. It’s extremely powerful—at least Level Five. If you can sense it, it will absolutely shake the entire Divine Realm."
To comprehend Heaven Earth True Insight at the age of sixteen, and while only at the Divine Realm Third Level—once this spread, it would definitely shock the entire Divine Realm, and Ding Fan would become the most heaven-defying genius in the Eastern Central Plains.
Ding Fan’s heart was stirred; he had already pondered this question back on Evil Spirit Mountain.
That kind of technique that pierced through space and split into dozens of clones was truly mysterious; even Sixth Level Realm and expert cultivators of the Divine Realm couldn’t tell true from false. If he could comprehend these two Divine Skills, his combat strength might not necessarily increase, but his ability to escape and survive would soar.
At this moment, Ding Fan immediately sat up, recalling the scene of the Evil Spirit using his body to unleash those two Divine Skills.
However!
He tried to recall for an hour, yet couldn’t find a single shred of memory in his mind. He could remember the release of the two True Insights, but he had no idea how the "spirit" was unleashed; there was simply no such memory in his head.
"No good~"
He opened his eyes and weakly shook his head. Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong both let out regretful sighs. Ding Fan analyzed aloud: when those two Divine Skills were released, his body had been completely occupied by the Evil Spirit. At that time, that Evil Spirit had forced his Soul aside, separating the two souls, so naturally he didn’t know how the Evil Spirit had unleashed those two techniques.
"What a pity!"
Ding Fan thought to himself: if the Sirius mark within his Soul could transmit all of the Evil Spirit’s memories to him, that would be perfect. He might be able to use those memories of the Evil Spirit to comprehend many Divine Skills and Heaven Earth True Insight, and might even learn powerful Divine Skills.
And also...
Within that Evil Spirit’s memories there had to be a way to open this enormous coffin, and a way to enter the Evil Spirit Hall. If he could obtain all of its memories, then all the Treasure in those two places would belong solely to Ding Fan.
This enormous coffin was now in Ding Fan’s hands and would be opened sooner or later. Unfortunately, that Evil Spirit Hall could no longer be opened. Once he left here, Ding Fan might never come back again in his entire life.
What is his will never be lost; what is not his will be lost even if it falls into his hands.
Ding Fan no longer dwelled on it. He had Zhong Zhiyong focus on controlling the coffin’s flight, while he himself took out the map, glanced at it, then pointed to a city on the map and said to the two of them, "Let’s go here, find this city’s Chamber of Commerce, and then take a large Super Airship to leave the Eastern Central Plains first."
"Alright!"
Spirit Flame and Zhong Zhiyong glanced at each other, then Crimson Flame focused on forcing the poison out of his body, while Zhong Zhiyong continued to control the coffin’s flight.
Ding Fan fed Sirius some ore, then ate some dry rations himself. After that, he sat cross-legged, restoring the True Yuan in his body; earlier, his True Yuan had been almost completely depleted.
After cultivating day and night, Ding Fan’s True Yuan recovered somewhat. The enormous coffin kept flying over the wilderness; it was extremely safe, never once encountering a Sixth Level expert of the Divine Realm. After this long trek, they should have long since left Taiwang Palace’s territory.
The night was cool like water. Ding Fan opened his eyes and looked around. He saw Zhong Zhiyong fully focused on controlling the coffin, while Crimson Flame was still forcing out the residual poison from his body. He stared at the receding scenery on both sides, feeling a trace of reluctance in his heart, and began trying to recall the memories of the Evil Spirit unleashing Divine Skills, to see if they had truly been lost.
Suddenly!
The Sirius mark within Ding Fan’s Soul suddenly flickered, and some strange information surfaced again in his mind.
After Ding Fan organized that information, he became incredibly excited, because that information was a type of memory—memories of the Evil Spirit merging with his Shadowless Divine Skill—and those memories had already been integrated by that Evil Spirit.
Ding Fan immediately sorted and recorded all that information carefully; then he opened his eyes and burst out laughing, startling Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong beside him.
Seeing their shocked eyes, Ding Fan grinned and explained, "I might have a chance to master that Divine Skill that can split into dozens of clones as realistic as living people."
The Sirius mark within Ding Fan’s Soul was baffling. According to Ding Fan’s deduction, it might be related to the Beast Bone Pendant he had lost before—or even... it might actually be that very Beast Bone Pendant!
Back when he was charging into the Third Level Realm of the Divine Realm, that Beast Bone Pendant had disappeared.
He searched the entire room and couldn’t find that Beast Bone Pendant. When he was refining his Soul, he felt that Beast Bone Pendant shining and heating up, and then a Sirius mark appeared within his Soul.
Can this be taken to mean that the Beast Bone Pendant entered Ding Fan’s body and became the Sirius mark, engraved upon his Soul?
This Beast Bone Chain was a Treasure left to him by Xia Mengqing. Xia Mengqing herself was extremely mysterious; the Beast Bone she left Ding Fan had helped him more than once. With such a mysterious woman, what she left Ding Fan had to be an Exotic Treasure.
Sirius followed him precisely because of that Beast Bone Pendant. That Beast Bone Pendant could enhance the Power of various Spiritual Medicine and improve the blood in the Blood Pool; all of this proved how extraordinary that Beast Bone Pendant was.
The reason he could inherit the later Sirius Howl Divine Technique from the Sirius inheritance was also because of this Beast Bone Pendant. Thus Ding Fan speculated that the Sirius mark in his Soul was formed by the Beast Bone Pendant; this was basically a fact with solid grounds, not something imagined out of thin air.
