739: The Three Lives Stone is broken, and the ancient reincarnation tree
They walked along the Bronze Avenue for two hours.
After an unknown distance, Xie Weilou and Yan Ruyi still hadn't reached the end of the Bronze Avenue.
However, about a thousand meters ahead on the Bronze Avenue, a crimson hue appeared.
The two quickened their pace.
Soon, they found the source of the crimson color: a blood-red stone.
The stone was a meter tall, standing on one side of the Bronze Avenue, as if it were an object of suppression. Blood-red light flickered, and within it lurked an extremely strange power.
On the other side of the avenue stood a gray ancient tree. On the tree hung two gray fruits, covered in mysterious runes, looking extraordinarily complex.
As for the Bronze Avenue ahead, it was already broken and collapsed, with a gap of more than ten meters to the opposite side. Sword Qi subtly permeated the air, as if it had been severed by a single sword strike.
Below was an abyss of ten thousand fathoms, as black as ink, from which a power capable of crushing all things emanated.
"This Bronze Avenue... it's actually broken..."
Yan Ruyi stared at the avenue before them, a look of surprise in her eyes.
This avenue was clearly severed by an unparalleled expert with a single sword. Who possessed such power to cut off a Reincarnation passage?
Xie Weilou stared at the stone and said with a strange expression, "Why do I feel that the material of this stone is exactly the same as the blood-red gem on your scepter?"
Yan Ruyi smiled faintly, "No need to feel, it is exactly the same! This is the three lives stone, used to suppress Reincarnation. But you don't need to covet this item, you can't take it away."
"three lives stone?"
Xie Weilou's eyes lit up.
He didn't know the wonderful uses of the three lives stone in this world.
But as an Earthling, he naturally knew countless legends about the three lives stone; it was a supreme treasure, worth trying to move.
He put down the ten thousand souls banner, quickly stepped forward, placed his hands on the stone, and circulated all his strength, intending to lift the stone.
"…"
Yan Ruyi rolled her eyes. This guy was blinded by greed, actually setting his sights on such a thing?
"Hmm?"
After several attempts, the three lives stone remained motionless; Xie Weilou couldn't lift it at all.
He tried using his Storage Ring and an emperor talisman, but he couldn't take the three lives stone into his storage space.
Yan Ruyi shook her head, "Give up! This thing suppresses Reincarnation, it cannot be moved, and it's indestructible, you can't affect it. Instead of staring at this item, look at the ancient tree next to it..."
"I refuse to believe it."
Xie Weilou raised an eyebrow and directly summoned the heaven suppressing stele.
"heaven suppressing stele..."
Yan Ruyi looked at the heaven suppressing stele in Xie Weilou's hand, a strange look in her eyes.
The heaven suppressing stele was the supreme treasure of the Great Xia Holy Academy; she had naturally seen it, and even tried to take it away, but unfortunately, she did not succeed.
"The treasure is right in front of us; even if I can't move it, I should at least take some fragments."
Xie Weilou swung the heaven suppressing stele and fiercely smashed it towards the three lives stone.
Bang!
The heaven suppressing stele instantly struck the three lives stone, a roaring sound echoed, the Bronze Avenue vibrated continuously, but the three lives stone showed no cracks.
"It can't be shattered?"
Xie Weilou's eyes showed surprise. The heaven suppressing stele was extremely powerful; thrown out, it could smash all things, yet it couldn't shatter this three lives stone?
Buzz!
Just as Xie Weilou was surprised, the three lives stone suddenly burst forth with a bloody light. The bloody light intertwined, and a scene emerged from the three lives stone.
Within the bloody scene, a mysterious phantom appeared.
The aura on his body was extremely terrifying, like an ancient magnate, holding a strange sword and striking out with a single slash. Sword Qi erupted, ten thousand Laws intertwined, shattering space, annihilating all things, and the Bronze Avenue was directly severed... In myths and legends, the three lives stone was said to suppress the Platform of Looking Home, where departed souls stepping onto it could see their past and present lives through the three lives stone.
The three lives stone before them seemed to have recorded the person who severed the Reincarnation passage.
The scene appeared for a moment, then disappeared directly.
Yan Ruyi said with a solemn expression, "Legends say that the three lives stone can indeed record some peculiar events, but this is the first time I've seen such a situation! The person who made this move is extremely terrifying; what he severed is not just a passage, but also time, space, and Reincarnation..."
"…"
Xie Weilou stood rooted to the spot, stunned.
Yan Ruyi glanced at Xie Weilou, "What's wrong?"
Xie Weilou recovered and shook his head, "Nothing..."
At this moment, his heart was already in turmoil.
Because the phantom in that scene overlapped with the figure of his Third Uncle!
Although it was just a phantom, Xie Weilou saw Xie Bian's shadow. The two constantly overlapped; was this mysterious person who severed the Reincarnation passage his Third Uncle?
Crack!
A crack appeared on the three lives stone, at about one-third of its height.
"Eh! It's broken?"
Xie Weilou's face showed a strange expression. It seemed the heaven suppressing stele was strong enough after all; he had wondered how it couldn't be shattered.
"This..."
Yan Ruyi was also full of astonishment. Was this heaven suppressing stele really so powerful?
Xie Weilou quickly put away the heaven suppressing stele and continued to try and move the shattered piece of the three lives stone.
Buzz!
The moment he touched the three lives stone, the Heavenly Book in his Dantian vibrated, and this fractured part was easily picked up by him.
"…"
Yan Ruyi stared at Xie Weilou, dumbfounded. This works too?
She quickly stepped forward to try, also intending to pick up another part of the three lives stone, but that piece of the three lives stone remained motionless, impossible to lift.
Xie Weilou said to Yan Ruyi with a smile, "Little Ruyi, you can't handle this kind of thing; it depends on fate! You step aside, I'll try with the remaining piece."
He tried to put the three lives stone in his hand into the emperor talisman. This time, there was no resistance, and the item was directly taken into the emperor talisman.
"…"
Xie Weilou reached out to the remaining three lives stone.
He tried to move it a few times, but couldn't budge it at all.
The smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a hint of displeasure. He said sourly, "It's just a broken stone; it's not like I'm that fond of it."
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyi burst out laughing.
This guy had a tough mouth; if he couldn't get it, he should just say so, why make excuses for himself?
"To be able to obtain one-third of the three lives stone is already extremely good. Don't be too greedy. Next, you can try to obtain the fruits next to it."
"These fruits are not simple; they are reincarnation fruits, containing the power of Reincarnation. If refined, their uses are endless."
Yan Ruyi looked at the gray ancient tree next to them.
This ancient tree was not simple; it was the Reincarnation Ancient Tree, growing by the power of Reincarnation, bearing fruit only once every tens of thousands of years, and never more than two fruits each time.
More importantly, even if it bore fruit, no one could pick them.
"reincarnation fruit?"
Xie Weilou gazed at the two fruits on the ancient tree.
These fruits were also not simple; the power contained within them was somewhat similar to the gray treasure bone he had obtained earlier.
Yan Ruyi said, "Take out that black lamp and pick them directly. Otherwise, there's no other way."
If Xie Weilou hadn't obtained that black lamp, they would naturally have no fate with these reincarnation fruits and wouldn't be able to pick them at all.
"I'll try..."
Xie Weilou took out the black lamp and walked towards the Reincarnation Ancient Tree.
