Chapter 123: Ch 123: Sunfire Heartseed
"Rumor has it that Sacred Lifeblood Stones can be found within the secret space of those creatures. No one knows how Sacred Lifeblood Stones are formed, but legends say that they are condensed lifeblood of ancient beings. These stones can greatly enhance vitality and extend lifespan by infusing a person with a potent life force. As long as you can find even one of those stones and bring it back, not only will I recover completely, but I might even benefit in different directions."
Mu Bailing explained. Her words awakened curiosity within Emrys’s heart. He did not expect a treasure that could greatly enhance vitality by filling a person with a potent life force to exist in this hellish world.
"Okay, I’ll go and bring that stone for you. But... I have never seen a Sacred Lifeblood Stone before. How will I recognize it?"
Mu Bailing shook her head and sighed. A look of disappointment flashed in her eyes as she spoke, "I also don’t know. I have never seen one either. This is just a rumor that I spoke of. It is said that one of my seniors from the sect obtained a Sacred Lifeblood Stone hundreds of thousands of years ago. Everyone in the sect knows of this rumor, but no one can confirm whether it is true or not."
"As for recognizing the stone, if the rumor is true, I think it will not be that difficult to achieve. When you get close to the stone, you will feel a potent vitality. Of course, who knows whether there is a Sacred Lifeblood Stone inside that space or not, but even if there is, obtaining it will not be easy. Those strange creatures are very strong and terrifying. It would be better if you didn’t go there, at least not before taking all twelve steps."
When she spoke of those creatures being very strong and terrifying, Emrys suddenly recalled that unknown entity who was observing Ghostflame Beasts from the dark. That unknown entity must be very strong. It was fortunate that that being paid no attention to him, otherwise, he might have died long ago.
Indeed, as long as he doesn’t have enough strength, it’ll be better to avoid that place.
"Then, what about you?" Emrys asked hesitantly.
Mu Bailing took out a map and gave it to Emrys, then she spoke, "This is a map of all the Level 1 areas, including this Mountain Range and some other places close to the mountain range."
"Look here," she said, pointing to a spot on the map. "This place is north of where the Mysterious Sky Tree appeared. If you can get there, all you need to do is find the natives living in this area. Once you meet them, have them take you to their tribes or villages, and then you can ask them where to find the Sunfire Heartseed."
Level 1 area?
Emrys took the map and looked at it, and saw many places apart from the Mountain Range drawn on the map. The map was very easy to understand. What surprised him was that the petrified forest or the place where he appeared right after entering this world was not on the map.
He was about to ask when he heard Mu Bailing talking about Mysterious Sky Tree which reminded him of Mysterious Sky Fruits.
Frowning, he hurriedly checked his body.
After losing his backpack, he doesn’t have anything where he could store the fruits. In the end, he chose to keep them in his pocket.
Many things happened after that, and he even lost consciousness for a long time. If the fruits are gone, his heart will definitely ache.
Luckily, the fruits were still inside his pockets. He had not lost them.
Just when he felt a wave of happiness in his heart, he heard Mu Bailing talking about the natives living in this world and Sunfire Heartseed which startled him.
"Are you saying there are natives living in this world?" Emrys exclaimed. Anyone could tell how astonished he was just by looking at his face.
Mu Bailing looked at him strangely. She could not understand why Emrys didn’t know many things. He didn’t even know about the Cosmic Cultivation System. And now, he doesn’t know that this world has natives living in it.
"Why don’t you know anything? Haven’t your seniors or master told you anything before sending you here?"
Emrys wanted to tell her that he was not sent here by any senior or master, but he stopped himself. He does not want to make his own situation more complicated by telling her how he appeared here. More so, he didn’t want to talk about Elysia Nightshade.
Seeing that Emrys had no intention of saying anything, Mu Bailing sighed and explained, "Of course, there are natives living in this world, and every one of them cultivates in the Cosmic Cultivation System. It is just that they all are cursed and cannot leave this world."
"Cursed?"
Emrys was very sensitive to the ’curse’ word. He immediately sat up straight and asked, "What curse?"
"That I don’t know." Mu Bailing shook her head, disappointing Emrys.
With a deep breath, she started speaking again, "Anyway, you have to make contact with the natives of this world in order to find out about Sunfire Heartseed. Sunfire Heartseed is a treasure that can provide warmth and vitality. It is also capable of rejuvenating the body and extending a person’s lifespan greatly. It is a rare and important treasure. Typically speaking, even if the natives know about the location of Sunfire Heartseed, they would not tell you. However, if you can find a Saint Bone, they might tell you about the location of Sunfire Heartseed in exchange."
This is too troublesome!
Emrys sighed and shook his head, saying, "What is this Saint Bone now?"
"Saint Bones are remnants of Ancient Experts who once cultivated in the Cosmic Cultivation System and fought against their fate, only to end up dead. The natives of this world call those people Saints even though those so-called Saints. I don’t know why, but they value Saint Bones a lot. You will have to cover a long journey in order to go to that place, you might end up finding a Saint Bone along the way."
