Chapter 18 Mysterious Dao Diagram
"Such a bright light! Has a piece of divine essence been cut out?"
"A divine source has been extracted from the Ghostly Rift Stone; this seems to be the first time this has ever happened."
"Oh my god..."
"Impossible! It's just a Ghost Crack Stone. How could it possibly contain a source, let alone a divine source?" Li Chongtian shouted in disbelief.
The stone skin continued to fall away, revealing more light within.
After everyone gradually adapted, they finally saw the divine source clearly.
This is a pale green divine source, only the size of an adult's fist.
Moreover, within the divine source, there is also a broken Dao diagram.
This map is not very large; when unfolded, it is only about the size of a palm.
The surface of that Dao diagram was covered with countless complex patterns, which showed that this Dao diagram was definitely not a simple thing.
"There seems to be something within the divine source; it's a special Dao diagram."
"This is absolutely extraordinary; this Daoist diagram is definitely not simple."
"Young friend, I'll offer you one million catties of source material to sell me this divine source material, along with the Dao diagram inside. The details of this Dao diagram are currently unknown, and it may not be as powerful as you imagine."
"1.5 million catties of raw materials."
"Two million catties of raw materials."
The moment the divine source was unleashed, it attracted the attention of many powerful beings.
In a short time, the stone archway was surrounded by people.
These important figures all made bids, wanting to obtain this special divine source.
The Dao diagrams within the Divine Source are at least from the Primordial Era, especially from the end of the Primordial Era, when a great upheaval occurred.
Even some supreme beings took action, and many imperial weapons were completely destroyed.
Even the deities within the Immortal-Slaying Gourd were obliterated.
If there are any other imperial weapons, they may have been completely shattered, although the number would not be large, but that possibility cannot be ruled out.
"Esteemed seniors, I am also interested in this Dao diagram, so there's no need for you to place an offer." Lu Zhao refused everyone's bid.
The powerful figures around sighed and abandoned their desire to buy the Dao diagram.
"Now that the outcome is decided, it's time to pay your bet." Lu Zhao looked at Li Chongtian, who was actually trying to sneak away.
However, there were too many people around, preventing him from leaving the area.
"I don't have the funds, I'll ask my grandfather to pay for it for me."
"Does any fellow Daoist know this person? Could you please ask his grandfather to come and pay the bet?" Lu Zhao looked around at the people.
"His grandfather is here!" someone shouted quickly.
People around them made way for Li Chongtian's grandfather to come in.
Upon seeing this person, a cold glint flashed in Lu Zhao's eyes. He naturally recognized him as Li Yishui of the Illusion Palace.
They tried to assassinate him twice, but he escaped easily both times.
Upon seeing this person, Lu Zhao felt a surge of murderous intent.
"Young friend, I understand the matter. It was just some joke from Chongtian. Why don't you give me some face and let's just let it go?" Li Yishui said with a faint smile.
However, Lu Zhao saw a hint of threat in his eyes.
"I don't take it as a joke. Now that so many people have witnessed it, are you still trying to renege on your promise?" Lu Zhao said calmly.
"Young man, leave yourself some leeway in your actions. It's better to have more friends in the future than to have more options." A cold glint flashed in Li Yishui's eyes.
"In this Jiang family stone archway, do you really dare to make a move?" Lu Zhao showed no worry whatsoever; on the contrary, he became even more relaxed.
"You... fine, very fine indeed. This is 100,000 jin of elixir. I hope you take good care of it and make sure nothing goes wrong, hmph!"
Li Yishui took out a jade bottle and tossed it into Lu Zhao's hand with a sinister expression.
Lu Zhao opened the jade bottle, and sure enough, it contained 100,000 jin of source.
Besides the source stones, Lu Zhao also sensed some Dao principles, some of which belonged to Li Yishui, who had actually tampered with the source stones.
Some marks were left in the Originium to track his movements at any time.
"Since you're courting death, then let me see how strong I am now." Lu Zhao calmly put away the jade bottle.
Li Yishui suddenly flicked his sleeves, turned around and left with Li Chongtian. The surrounding crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only a few people to watch.
Of course, news of Lu Zhao creating a Dao diagram quickly spread to the Jiang family's stone archway.
The elders who remained in the Holy City, the holy sons of the Holy Land, and the heirs of some families all rushed towards the Jiang family's stone archway.
Everyone was curious about the treasure that Lu Zhao had revealed, and wanted to know what that half of the Dao diagram was.
Not to mention others, even Lu Zhao himself doesn't know what that Dao diagram is; he only knows it's definitely a treasure.
The treasures that can affect his third eye must be of considerable value.
Lu Zhao continued his exploration, searching for other Emperor-level divine materials.
However, after exploring the entire stone workshop, no other divine materials were found.
He did not choose another Originium in the following period.
This also relieved the Jiang family, who knew that Lu Zhao was not targeting them. Otherwise, if the divine source of the Jiang family's stone archway had been consecrated, the stone archway's business would have plummeted.
As soon as Lu Zhao left the Jiang family stone archway, he sensed several pairs of eyes watching him from the shadows. These eyes were full of malice and were clearly aimed at him.
"They've arrived as expected." Lu Zhao instantly realized who they were.
It was Li Yishui, the Supreme Elder of the Illusion Palace, and Yang Kun, the Supreme Elder of the Five Elements Palace.
The two men had followed him many times, each wanting to kill him and steal his treasure. Now that they were here, he decided to deal with them once and for all.
Lu Zhao pretended not to notice the two people and entered a palace in the city.
Now, what he needs to do is to thoroughly investigate the Dao Diagram, see if he can uncover its secrets, and find out its origin.
As for Li Yishui and Yang Kun, he planned to give them a break first.
Inside the palace of Tianque, Lu Zhao took out the source stone. The green source stone shimmered with light, and at the same time, essence overflowed from it.
The next moment, Lu Zhao crushed the source stone and took out the Dao diagram from it.
As expected, after squeezing the source stone, Lu Zhao felt a Dao principle, an extremely vast Dao principle, as if facing an endless universe.
In fact, he had already had this feeling when he faced the Bronze Immortal Palace.
However, this Dao diagram is far inferior to the Bronze Immortal Palace. According to Lu Zhao's senses, this should be a fragment of an imperial weapon.
It is highly likely to have originated from the ancient turmoil, a turmoil in which the Supreme Being was involved.
"If we follow the original story, the most likely cause of this upheaval is that when the Fighting Saint Emperor passed away, the Undying Emperor took his blood, and the Saint Emperor retaliated in his dying moments. Some Supreme Beings who had a grudge against the Undying Emperor also joined in the attack," Lu Zhao speculated.
That battle was fought in great secrecy, and ordinary creatures had no idea about it.
Some supreme beings may have been worn down to death, while others were severely injured and triggered a dark upheaval, causing ancient creatures to fight each other.
The destruction of the ancient royal weapons of some ethnic groups led to the complete extinction of those groups.
