Chapter 189: Hidden Jade in the Stone, Trusted Heart Returns

"Hidden among the stubborn stones, a good jade conceals; Lodged within the cold ashes, a spark of stars resides."

Fu Ning muttered to himself, "Indeed, there are treasures here."

He had just thoroughly searched the stone platform, leaving no corner untouched, but all he found was this sentence, without any other clues.

Finally, he tapped the stone platform and pondered, "Hidden among the stubborn stones... a good jade conceals."

"Could it be that the object is hidden inside the stone platform?"

"The legendary 'jade in the stone'?!"

Thinking of this, Fu Ning no longer hesitated and directly struck the stone platform with his palm.

Boom~

A loud tremor echoed deep within the cave.

However, the stone platform in front of him remained intact.

Fu Ning furrowed his brow and said, "Why is it another tough nut to crack?"

Just like the iron door from earlier.

"Could it be that there is also an 'immovable formation' on the stone platform?"

Soon, Fu Ning dismissed his own thoughts.

The runes of the 'immovable formation' are engraved on the surface of an object, capable of withstanding frontal impact.

But there were no traces of runes on this stone platform.

Moreover, there were no points of force transmission in any direction.

However, the sturdiness of this stone platform surpassed even that iron door.

Fu Ning struck the platform with more than ten consecutive palms. If it were an ordinary stone, it would have been reduced to rubble long ago.

But the stone platform in front of him remained unmoved.

"This is strange. It didn't even suffer the slightest damage?"

Fu Ning withdrew his palm strength, but his interest in the stone platform grew stronger.

This reminded him of the giant tree he had cut down in the jungle before.

"This stone platform seems to have some similarities with that giant tree."

That giant tree had withstood his full palm strength without any damage.

Even Shen Bijun's bubble explosion only left a faint mark.

It was the same with the stone platform in front of him.

"Could this stone platform be the same?"

Thinking of this, a hatchet appeared in Fu Ning's hand.

It was with this hatchet that he had cut down that giant tree.

"Perhaps I can give it a try."

With this in mind, he performed the strange movements on the stone tablet, gripping the giant axe with both hands and swinging it forcefully.

The incredibly heavy giant axe unexpectedly reversed its Heavenly Dipper, instantly slashing out.

Clang~

A crisp sound of metal and stone colliding.

In the dim cave, sparks burst forth.

As the force of the axe dissipated, a look of joy flashed in Fu Ning's eyes. "It actually worked!"

The stone platform that had been so sturdy just now now had a palm-sized groove on its surface.

Seeing this, Fu Ning was delighted and quickly swung the hatchet again.

Clang~ Clang~ Clang~

With three consecutive strikes, the stone platform in front of him collapsed with a loud crash.

"What is this?"

Amidst the debris, a burst of firelight flickered.

Fu Ning was startled, but quickly realized that this must be the treasure hidden within the stone platform.

"Jade in the stone?!"

This was a miraculous jade, with a color as smooth as grease, resembling the stars in the night sky, emitting a faint glow. Within the jade, the intertwining of cold ashes and star fire could vaguely be seen, as if it contained endless mysterious power.

The cold ashes, like the fire in the winter, were silent and profound. It seemed to silently tell ancient legends, giving people a sense of distant historical atmosphere. The star fire, on the other hand, was like a shooting star in the night sky, flickering with brilliant light, seemingly pulsating with the melody of life.

At the same time, Fu Ning found a letter beneath the jade.

The letter recorded the origin of this stone.

It turned out that this jade was called 'Yin Yang Cold Fire Jade', and within the central part of the jade was sealed a spiritual object called 'Cold Smoke Star Fire'.

This fire naturally had twin flames, one called 'Cold Smoke' and the other called 'Star Fire'. The twin flames, one cold and one hot, coexisted in the same body.

Legend has it that this flame is an inheritance of the Demon Race's wild bloodline. When crushed in the Demon Realm, it can trigger a Heavenly Rank phenomenon.

Even in the Demon Realm, it rarely appears.

This jade stone was discovered from a member of the Demon Race when the "White Turtle Old Man" guarded the Demon Realm.

Although this item is extremely precious, it is difficult for ordinary people to control, so it was sealed in the stone platform.

The so-called "jade seeks a destined person," waiting for someone to take the jade stone away.

Fu Ning held the jade stone, and the sealed fireworks inside the stone kept flickering, not giving way to each other.

But the strange thing was that Fu Ning couldn't feel any heat from the flame.

"The jade seeks a destined person, and this fate has fallen on me."

With a wave of Fu Ning's hand, the jade stone disappeared.

"Demon Realm... I must go there no matter what."

He went to the Demon Realm not only because of the jade stone in front of him, but also because when he was acting as a Spirit Slave, he had heard a secret.

A secret about the "Hongtu" Scenic Palace.

The "Hongtu" Scenic Palace, also known as the "White Jade Capital," is one of the five cities and twelve towers created by Hongzu.

The "Mirage" is also one of them.

Legend has it that each Hongtu Secret Realm contains a creation phenomenon, and after observing it, one can have the opportunity to grasp a heavenly rule.

"Chirp chirp~"

The trusted bird interrupted Fu Ning's thoughts.

But Fu Ning wasn't angry, instead, he smiled and took out two "Nectar Pills."

This pill successfully broke through its last defense line, and it immediately fluttered its wings and flew over.

Seeing the pill, the trusted bird's expression visibly changed, and its previous guard was slightly eased.

The trusted bird nodded.

"Chirp chirp~"

"Then come with me?"

"Eat, there's more."

Fu Ning knew that he couldn't rush things, so he smirked and took out another "Nectar Pill" from his pocket.

(End of this chapter)

Looking at it in his hand, Fu Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly wondered how to take this little guy away.

Sure enough, when this azure pill appeared, the trusted bird's eyes widened.

Hehehe~

Continuing to nod.

This time, thanks to the trusted bird, he was able to find the "Cold Smoke Star Fire."

"Little guy, how about coming with me? I guarantee you'll have pills to eat every day~"

The trusted bird spat out a strand of soul, which turned into true words and fell into Fu Ning's inner landscape, alongside the imprints of "Greedy Toad" and "White Cloud."

After swallowing the pill, Fu Ning smiled: as long as you eat it, I'm not afraid you won't get addicted.

After a moment, Fu Ning approached with a smile: "How is it?"

"Is it delicious?"

Seeing this opportunity, Fu Ning took out a pill made from Innate Water Origin Qi, the "Innate Nectar Pill."

"Chirp chirp~"

"Chirp chirp~"

The trusted bird hesitated this time, but its expression was not guarded, but hesitant.

Upon hearing this, the trusted bird retreated with a guarded expression.

"Eat, eat, I have plenty here~"

It wasn't until Fu Ning's hand once again produced a small pill.

"What a good bird."

"Do you want more?"

Then it directly snatched the "Nectar Pill."

If he could lure it out of the Secret Realm...

"Do you still want to eat?"

"Is it delicious?"

The trusted bird is intelligent, good at transformation, and has a strong perception ability. Whether it is acting as an informant or finding various opportunities, it is a Supreme Grade that can be encountered but not sought after.

"Do you still want to eat?"

"Chirp chirp~"

"Chirp chirp~"
