<strong>Chapter 792 - Mysterious ck Jade</strong>


    In the world of the Sky Poison Pearl, Jasmine stood with her back facing him, a cold look on her face. On the small bed beside her, Hong’er was snoring lightly after having eaten her fill.


    That gloomy purple light was especially eye-catching in this jade-green world.


    The four petals of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower were perfectly unharmed, and they were currently being surrounded by a thinyer of green light as they floated quietly in ce. Even then, that purple light still shone clearly through it, but it did not affect Yun Che’s soul in any way.


    “It looks like its soul stealing ability has been sealed by the Sky Poison Pearl.” Yun Che said in relief as he drew closer.


    “Hmph! What does that have to do with the Sky Poison Pearl!? The moment the Netherworld Udumbara Flower was harvested, I was the one who sealed its hellish power so that it would not leak out any more.” Jasmine turned around, her face tilted to the side as she refused to look at him.


    “Hm?” Yun Che stared at Jasmine’s tiny face and asked her with a shocked and doubtful look on his face, “Jasmine, your eyes seem a bit weird. Why do I get the feeling that... you were crying before this?”


    “What... nonsense!” Jasmine’s reaction was akin to cat whose tail had been stepped on, “Crying? Me? What a ridiculous thing to say!”


    “...” Jasmine’s weird reaction caused Yun Che’s eyes to be filled with suspicion. He redirected his gaze to the Netherworld Udumbara Flower once more and said in a sincere voice, “Two profound cores from a Sovereign Profound Beast, more than thirty five kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystal and now we finally have the Netherworld Udumbara Flower as well... Jasmine, all the things that you needed have been gathered. So now you can begin to reform your body, correct? Or do you still need to fulfill any other conditions? Such as a certain environment, or some kind of external energy...”


    “There is no need for anything else! Now that all of these items have been gathered, I can start right away!” Jasmine said as she shook her head. After that, she gave Yun Che a very deep look as she said in irate tone, “The fact that you were able to obtain this four petal Netherworld Udumbara Flower far exceeded my expectations but you must never ever do such a thing... Forget it! In any case, you never listen to anything that I say!”


    “I can begin reconstituting my body right away!” Jasmine repeated as her eyes grew focused, “Right now, I am unable to go outside and while the Sky Poison Pearl is able to house spirit bodies, it is unable to harbor any living creatures. If I try it here, it wille with the risk that something strange urs during the process. So, the best possible choice and the only choice left to me right now would be to use the Primordial Profound Ark.”


    “I was also thinking of that.” Yun Che said as he nodded his head.


    “Once I have regained my physical form, the devil energy within the Moon ughter Devil Nest will not harm me in the slightest. As for that sealing barrier...” Contempt appeared on Jasmine’s face as she spoke, “I can tear it apart with a twist of my fingers.”


    She nced over as she continued, “The reason why you were not bothered by the barrier being resealed and you being left behind is because you assumed that once I regained my physical form, I would be able to easily tear open this barrier, correct?”


    “You’re absolutely right.” Yun Che said as he looked intently at the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, his hand on his jaw. He looked like he was pondering something deeply before he continued to speak, “However, before that... Oh right, Jasmine! Roughly how much time will it take for your body to be reconstituted?”


    Jasmine fell silent as she furrowed her brows in thought. After that she replied, “Even though I know the method, I have never tried it before. ording to the records and given my degree of strength, it shouldn’t take too long. It will roughly take around twenty odd hours, give or take. Perhaps it will be longer, perhaps it will be shorter. But there shouldn’t be too much of a discrepancy from the estimate that I’ve made.”


    “I see.” This amount of time was far shorter than Yun Che had imagined it to be. Things on the same level as Jasmine were indeed things that he were basically unable to understand or measure given his knowledge.


    After silently calcting how long he had been trapped in the Moon ughter Devil Nest, he suddenly spoke up, “Jasmine, your soul body is unable to leave me for too long a period of time, correct? But what if you were in the Primordial Profound Ark? After all, it has already been absorbed into my body.”


    Jasmine immediately understood what Yun Che was trying to get at. She shook her head sharply and with no hesitation, “Of course not! The Primordial Profound Ark forms its own world. If I am within the Primordial Profound Ark and you are not, even if it is absorbed into your body, we will still be separated by two worlds! If that situation continues for even a moderate period of time, my soul will be scattered to the four winds before I’d be able to finish reconstituting my body.”


    “Could it be that you can’t wait for me to finish reconstituting my body and you want to leave the Moon ughter Devil Nest earlier?”


    “Sort of.” Yun Che said as he nodded his head, “I’ve already been here for three days. If my calctions aren’t too far off, the Devil Sword Conference will start in around twelve to fourteen hours. If I can get out now, I can make it just in time.”


    “Before I reconstitute my body, I won’t be able to materialize in the Moon ughter Devil Nest! So how are you going to get out?” Just as she finished speaking, a thought shed through Jasmine’s mind, “Could it be that you want to try...”


    “Well, I should give it a try at the very least!” Yun Che rubbed both his hands together, an eager expression on his face,” If I can seed, then that would naturally be great. If I fail, then it won’t really matter much either way. The main objective I came to Supreme Ocean Pce for has already been achieved. The Devil Sword Conference isn’t something that I feel like I definitely need to participate in.”


    Yun Che’s consciousness left the Sky Poison Pearl and he opened his eyes once more. He ignited his Golden Crow mes and borrowed the firelight to guide his steps forward.


    Bang.


    A sound suddenly rang out from behind him, it sounded as if some sort of stone had fallen to the ground. The sound was very faint, but in this silent world, it could be heard clear as day. It caused Yun Che to instantly halt in his tracks as hispletely rxed nerves tensed up, like he hade into contact with electricity.


    Bang... bang... bang, bang, bang...


    Something hard continued to fall against the ground, and it was getting faster and faster. The moment Yun Che decided to turn around, he heard a huge explosion suddenly shake the ce.


    Bang!!


    “Don’t worry.” Jasmine said in a tepid tone, “It is just the stone wall at very end of the Moon ughter Devil Nest finally copsing. When you destroyed the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign, most of the energy from your attack had exploded against that wall. Even though it did not copse then and there many cracks had been formed in it. But I didn’t think that it would actually copse now.”


    “Ah, so that’s what it was.” Yun Che said as he gave a soft sigh of relief.


    “Go take a look!” Jasmine abruptly said, “That is the stone wall at the very end of the Moon ughter Devil Nest. Now that it has caved in... it is very possible that there is another world behind it!”


    Yun Che moved forward as instructed, his footsteps were exceptionally cautious. At the same time, he caused the Golden Crow mes to burn even more intensely as they expanded the radius of his vision slightly.


    Crunch!


    A small sound rang out as he stepped on something that was scattered on the ground. Yun Che swiftly focused on what was below his feet and he was astonished to find that he had stepped on a pile of ck ash.


    This was what remained after the Golden Crow mes had burned up the body of the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign!


    But only part of it had be ash, there was also something that the Golden Crow mes could not incinerate, it was as hard and solid as a boulder.


    Yun Che did not pay any attention to it as he continued moving forward. He very quickly reached the point where the light of his mes shone on a pile of pitch-ck rubble.


    Yun Che flung out his arm, pushing the Golden Crow mes in his hand forward. The moment the mes touched the ground, they shone even brighter, fully illuminating the path ahead... Half of the pitch-ck stone wall that was at the end of the Moon ughter Devil Nest had crumbled, shattered stones littering the ground.


    Beyond that wally a ck hole that gave off the feeling of a deep abyss.


    The Golden Crow mes that he tossed near the wall clearly illuminated the entire outline of that “ck hole”. But he could only see a dreadful inky darkness thaty beyond. He was not able to see what was inside at all. The Golden Crow mes were right next to the ck hole, but their light could not prate into its interior.


    It seemed to Yun Che that even if the strongest light one could imagine came into contact with the world behind that stone wall, it would be swallowed up in an instant.


    “That is... Behind that wall, there seems to be another dimension!” Yun Che said in a low voice and he found that he was unconsciously holding his breath. He suddenly thought of something. He was able to st this stone wall open when he had pushed himself to his limits, but given the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign’s strength... Perhaps he would have needed a longer time but he definitely had the ability to st it open as well.


    But before it had been struck by his sword st, this stone wall had clearly beenpletely untouched.


    Could it be that for an entire ten thousand years, the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign had failed to discover the world thaty on the other side of the wall?


    Or... was it that he was aware of it but for some reason, he chose not to st that wall open?


    Or perhaps... that stone wall was constructed by the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign in the first ce!?


    Yun Che’s heart burned with a huge suspicion and an intense curiosity. He once again ignited a cluster of Golden Crow mes in his hand. After that, he began to stride forward, intending to approach that “ck hole” and investigate just what kind of worldy behind that stone wall.


    But before his foot had even touched the ground, Jasmine suddenly shouted in rm, “Don’t approach that ck hole! Immediately get back!!”


    Yun Che’s body froze before he immediately turned around and retreated by a good distance.


    “Jasmine, what’s wrong? Is there something dangerous in that ce?” Yun Che asked cautiously.


    “It is far more than merely being dangerous!” Jasmine said in an extremely serious voice, “I finally know where the dark devil energy in this ce ising from!”


    “...So it’sing from inside that ck hole?” Yun Che asked with sunken brows.


    “That’s right! It lies behind that stone wall! To be able to release darkness energy of such a high level, whatever is hidden behind that wall is definitely extremely terrifying!” Jasmine’s voice grew more and more serious. He did not know if he was mishearing it but Yun Che could sense fear and rm shooting through Jasmine’s voice right now, “Moreover, when I extended my senses into the interior of that ck hole just now...”


    Jasmine’s voice came to a sudden halt and a long time passed before she finally exhaled faintly and continued, “I don’t know how to describe what kind of feeling that was. Whatever it is, you need to leave immediately and you must never ever approach this ce again!”


    Yun Che gave a grunt of assent as he continued to draw back. It was just that this time, his retreat was much more leisurely. He was only rmed at that terrifying unknown existence thatid behind that stone wall.


    He was willing to repeatedly risk his life to obtain the Netherworld Udumbara Flower but he would definitely not be so stupid as to risk his life for the sake of satisfying his meaningless curiosity!


    After he had retreated several steps, Yun Che turned around... But just as he was turning his body, he saw a faint shimmer of light sh across the corner of his eyes.


    Hm? Light!?


    How could there be anything that reflected light in this ce?


    After hesitating for a moment, Yun Che abruptly began striding forward at a quick pace.


    “What are you trying to do!?” Jasmine asked in shock as she thought that he intended to force his way into that world behind the stone wall.


    Once he was in the approximate location of where he saw that light being reflected, he stopped and began to slowly lower his body to the ground.


    In front of himy the pile of ashes of that was all that remained of the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign. It was this pile of ash that had been unintentionally stepped on and scattered by him. Amidst the scattered ashes, there was a bizarre ck light that was being reflected by the Golden Crow mes.


    Yun Che extended a hand and reached towards the item that was shing with light, retrieving it from the pile of ashes.


    It was a round piece of ck jade that fit perfectly in his palm. It was heavy and cold to the touch and it was wlessly jet-ck all over. It was extremely smooth and glossy and he did not see a single marking or rune anywhere on its surface.


    “What is this?” Jasmine asked suspiciously.


    “I have no idea either. In fact, I was just about to ask you the same question.” Yun Che carefully examined it but he could not find anything odd. Furthermore, Jasmine’s words also told him that even she did not know what this was.


    But he could definitely confirm one thing, this item was definitely something that belonged to the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign. The Moon ughter Devil Sovereign was isted in this ce for ten thousand years but he had not thrown this item away. It was clear that he had always kept it on his person... If that was the case, then it definitely could not be merely a piece of ordinary ck jade!!


    Even the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign’s flesh had been burned to ashes by the Golden Crow mes, yet this jade remainedpletely undamaged. Just this point alone would be enough to prove that it was nomon item.


    It was just that it had no markings and no runes, it did not even give off any form of energy aura at all! Just from its aura alone, it appeared to be no more than a most ordinary piece of jade, something that was not evenparable to the lowest-grade profound jade.


    “Jasmine, can you feel anything special about it?” Yun Che brought the ck jade even closer to his eyes as he strove to discover something about it.


    “...Why don’t you try and infuse your profound energy into it?” Jasmine asked.


    “Alright!”


    Yun Che summoned a thread of energy and he slowly and gently infused that thread of profound energy into the ck jade. Immediately, a deep shock appeared on his face. With a flip of his hand, he sent an even stronger thread of profound energy into the ck jade... and his face grew even more stunned and amazed.


    “What is going on?” His expression caused Jasmine’s brows to knit together as she immediately asked him a question.


    “It disappeared!?” Yun Che still stared at his palm in disbelief. The two threads of profound energy that he had infused into this piece of ck jade had disappeared like a drop of water in an ocean, it had vanished without a trace. And this reflective ck jade still did not give off any aura!


    It was as if the two threads of profound energy had been swallowed up by a bottomless abyss, forever disappearing from this earth.


    “Disappeared?” Jasmine’s expression was just as shocked as Yun Che. She thought about it for a while before speaking in a low voice, “Since it was something that belonged to the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign, then it is extremely likely that it is something on the level of the devils! Its mysteries will not be so easily divined by any ordinary power.”


    “But don’t think too deeply about it right now and set it aside for the time being, it maye in use in the future. Right now, you’d be better off focusing your energy and attention on thinking of a way to escape from this ce!”
