The room was brightly lit and looked very ordinary. There was only a bed, a few tables, and chairs. Other than that, there was nothing else.
However, Ling Xiao felt a faint fluctuation of space in the room.
Buzz!
Li Chunfeng waved his sleeves, and ripples appeared in the space. A door of light appeared.
"Mustard Dimensional Space?"
Ling Xiao's eyes moved. A Half-Step Supreme Being expert could open up their own mustard dimensional space. Ling Xiao didn't expect Li Chunfeng to still have a mustard dimensional space after his cultivation fell.
"Let's go. If it wasn't for the mustard dimensional space, I would have been discovered by South Sky Jue!" Li Chunfeng smiled faintly and led Ling Xiao into the mustard dimensional space.
In the mustard dimensional space, the surroundings were chaotic. It looked like a real small world, but the laws were chaotic as if it would collapse at any time.
Ling Xiao saw a strange ancient stone floating in the center of the mustard dimensional space.
The ancient stone looked round and simple. It was like a star, emitting a silver glow. The surface of the stone was mottled and filled with Daoist Rhymes. Streaks of silver lightning shot out from the stone, causing the surrounding chaotic void to become even more chaotic.
A mysterious, ancient, and terrifying aura was emitted from the ancient stone. It had a terrifying power that could split the heavens and earth.
Ling Xiao stood in front of the ancient stone and felt like an ant looking up at a divine dragon. He was so insignificant.
The Wordless Heavenly Book in his consciousness trembled violently and emitted waves of excitement. If it wasn't for Ling Xiao's suppression, it would have rushed out.
"Two thousand years ago, I comprehended the Myriad Geomancy Art and Purple Aura Spiritual Art in the primitive ancient mine. This ancient stone was obtained from the deepest part of the primitive ancient mine!"
Li Chunfeng sighed softly and said slowly.
"What's in this ancient stone?" Ling Xiao asked.
"I don't know!"
Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "But this ancient stone can definitely defeat South Sky Venerable!"
"Are you so sure?
Since you created the Purple Aura Spiritual Art, even you can't see what's in this ancient stone? "
Ling Xiao asked in surprise.
"How can it be so easy?
As the saying goes, even immortals can't see through the stone, so how could I know? "
Li Chunfeng shook his head. "Purple Qi Psychic Technique senses the Qi of all things in the world. It uses the strength of Qi to determine the strength of the treasure inside the ancient stone, but it can't see what's inside the ancient stone!
Of course, Celestial Venerable Nan can't do it either. Otherwise, why would they sell the ancient stones to others when they have so many of them? "
Ling Xiao nodded. If he did not possess a heaven-defying treasure like the Wordless Heavenly Book, he would not have been able to accurately determine whether or not there was a treasure within the ancient stone.
After all, from Ling Xiao's point of view, there were over a thousand ancient stones in the entire Heavenly King Palace, but only about a hundred of them had treasures.
These ancient stones were incomparably precious, and one would have to pay a hefty price to obtain them. The Nantian Family was a merchant, so they naturally wouldn't take such a huge risk.
"Then why are you so sure that this ancient stone is better than the one South Celestial Venerable chose?"
Ling Xiao asked in astonishment.
"Because the place where I comprehended the two secret skills was said to be the place where the God's Stone was unearthed. It was a chaotic abyss, and I found two ancient stones. I gave one of them to South Celestial Venerable!
That ancient stone is definitely not as good as this one! "
Li Chunfeng's eyes flashed as he said slowly, "I'm sure that South Celestial Venerable will definitely take out that ancient stone to bet with you!
If he doesn't take out that ancient stone, he will definitely lose! "
Ling Xiao nodded. No wonder Li Chunfeng was so sure.
Ling Xiao was even more curious now. What treasure was inside the ancient stone that made the Wordless Heavenly Book so excited?
"Could it be … related to the bronze coffin?"
Ling Xiao's heart skipped a beat. The last time the Wordless Heavenly Book was so excited was when they encountered the bronze coffin and the bronze divine palace.
The bronze divine palace's location was mysterious, but it wasn't far from the primitive ancient mine.
Could it be that there was a connection between the two?
Ling Xiao pondered in his heart. The treasures in the ancient stone would naturally be revealed during the stone gambling tomorrow.
"However, I have to tell you one thing in advance. Although you can win by choosing this ancient stone, you will be in danger!
South Celestial Venerable also knows that I have an ancient stone. Although I faked my death to escape for the past two thousand years, he still thinks that I'm still alive. If he finds out about this ancient stone, he will definitely find you! "
Li Chunfeng looked into Ling Xiao's eyes with a burning gaze.
"Do I have a choice?"
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said, "I don't want to be South Celestial Venerable's slave for ten years. So what if it's South Celestial Venerable?"
Ling Xiao's eyes were filled with pride. Even if South Celestial Venerable was South Celestial Venerable, Ling Xiao was the number one Celestial Venerable in his previous life. His title was Devourer of Heaven, and he dominated an era. What was South Celestial Venerable to him?
Moreover, Ling Xiao believed that in this life, he would only go further and become stronger!
"Good, you have guts!
However, you don't have to worry too much. As a Celestial Venerable, South Celestial Venerable might not be in this world right now. As long as he doesn't sense the ancient stone's aura, you won't be in danger!
This ancient stone is yours! "
Li Chunfeng caressed the ancient stone. His eyes were filled with reluctance, but he still said firmly in the end.
"Thank you!"
Ling Xiao nodded solemnly. With a flash of light in his hand, he kept the ancient stone into his Longevity Ring.
"Alright, let's go out!"
Li Chunfeng looked as though he had put down a burden on his mind, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
Outside the Mustard Sub-dimensional Space, the eight or nine-year-old girl in a tattered dress had already placed the rice on the table with much effort. There were also a few stir-fried vegetables. Although it was bland, it looked exquisite. It gave off a refreshing fragrance that whetted one's appetite.
"Grandpa, it's time to eat!"
When Luo Luo saw Li Chunfeng, a radiant smile appeared on her face.
Her red dress was tattered, and there were a few holes in her shoes, revealing her jade-like toes. However, it couldn't hide her jade-like skin. There was a lot of dust on her face, but her big eyes were lively. If she were to dress up properly, she would definitely look like a porcelain doll.
Her face was filled with a pure and happy smile. She looked at Ling Xiao curiously and sensibly added a set of chopsticks for Ling Xiao.
"Big brother, are you grandpa's friend?
Come and try Luo Luo's cooking. Grandpa doesn't usually bring guests home! "
Luo Luo said with anticipation.
"Luo Luo is so obedient!"
