Mortal Bones

Xuanzhi smiled slightly and said:

"The Spiritual Bone Monument originally gave preferential treatment to the strongest person in the world."

"Because the original intention of the spirit bone tablet landing in this world is to help the human race in this world to fight against the dragon race and later the demon god."

"In order to prevent the human race from being leaderless due to its own disputes, the spirit bone monument gives special preference to the humans with the most centrality or the most powerful combat power in the same era."

"Because once these people grow up, the strongest among them will definitely be able to lead a group of humans to fight as a leader."

When Dongfang Yueyu heard this, he nodded repeatedly, feeling that it made sense.

But immediately, she realized something, and immediately looked at Xuan Zhizhi with a hint of disbelief in her eyes:

"Master Xuanzhi, I remember you said before that you don't know much about the spirit bone tablet, right?"

Xuanzhi smiled and said nothing.

Dongfang Yueyu immediately understood, took a deep breath and said:

"Is it possible, Master Xuanzhi... that you are also one of the monks selected by the Spiritual Bone Monument?"

Xuanzhi looked up at Xu Taiping on the jade platform, smiled lightly and said:

"Compared to Brother Taiping, I can't be considered a chosen one. At most, I can only be considered a person who is qualified to be selected."

The moment Xuanzhi finished speaking, the spirit bone monument on the jade platform once again shone brightly.

Looking carefully, Xu Taiping's hand was already attached to the bone tablet.

For a moment, Xuanzhi and Dongfang Yuexu were all staring in the direction of the jade platform without blinking.

"Rumble..."

Just like when Xuanzhi touched the spirit bone monument, the moment Xu Taiping reached out to touch the spirit bone monument, the spirit bone monument and the huge jade platform shook violently.

Immediately, just like Dongfang Yue Cocoon and the others before, the dazzling light emitted from the spirit bone monument once again enveloped Xu Taiping and the entire jade platform like a huge embrace.

"Rumble, rumble..."

But what's different is that after just one or two breaths, along with the sound of violent thunder explosions, the golden light that originally enveloped the entire jade platform suddenly changed into wisps of thunder power flying around the jade platform. .

After feeling the terrifying aura emanating from this thunder power, Dongfang Yueyu couldn't help but take a step back.

But instead of retreating, Xuanzhi said with a hint of excitement in his eyes:

"As expected of Brother Taiping."

After hearing this, Dongfang Yuexu, who was on the side, asked Xuanzhi very puzzledly:

"Master Xuanzhi, what does this situation mean?"

Xuanzhi explained to Dongfang Yueyu without looking back:

"It means that Brother Taiping is in his spiritual consciousness at this moment, talking to the spirit bone monument with his spiritual thoughts."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuexu's scalp felt numb for a while, and then he murmured curiously:

"I don't know what Brother Taiping is talking about with the spirit bone monument."

…

In the consciousness.

Xu Taiping looked at the spiritual bone monument that suddenly occupied his consciousness and stood tall in it. After a brief surprise, he suddenly tried to ask the spiritual bone monument:

"May I ask, how should I address you?"

Not long after, I heard an indistinguishable male or female voice, but an extremely majestic voice, coming from the spirit bone tablet——

"I am the seventh spiritual bone tablet that descended from Shangqing. In the past, they all called me the Seventh Master. You can also call me that if you want."

Xu Taiping immediately bowed his hands and said:

"Qingxuanzong Xu Taiping pays homage to the Seventh Master."

Master Qi seemed not to have heard anything and asked Xu Taiping directly:

"I can sense that you are the monk with the highest cultivation level and the strongest combat ability in the upper and lower realms. Therefore, in addition to being able to borrow my deduction power once like others, you can also propose an additional idea to me. Requests related to improving the skills practiced.”

Xu Taiping nodded.

However, he did not immediately make a request to the Seventh Master, but asked curiously:

"Seventh Master, can you tell me who lowered the spiritual bone monument in this world and why?"

Upon hearing this, Master Qi's tone suddenly turned cold and said:

"That's not the question you should ask."

The Seventh Master added:

"In other words, you are not qualified to ask this question to me now."

Xu Taiping, who was scolded by the spirit bone monument, instead of being angry, felt happy and said:

"In other words, as long as my cultivation and combat power continue to improve, it is possible that the spiritual bone monument will answer my question in the future."

When he thought that he would most likely be able to figure out the origin of the spirit bone monument in the future, Xu Taiping felt a strong sense of expectation in his heart.

At this time, only the majestic and indifferent voice of Master Qi was heard again:

"Qingxuanzong Xu Taiping, you can make a request to me now."

Xu Taiping thought carefully and replied:

"I would like to ask the Seventh Master to upgrade the Ancestral Saint Fist that I have practiced to a martial arts technique at the origin of martial arts."

Soon I heard the response from the spirit bone monument:

"allow!"

Immediately, I heard the spirit bone tablet say again:

"Except for the Ancestral Holy Fist, the improvement of other techniques you practice depends on your own perseverance and determination."

Xu Taiping was about to ask Qifu why he said that, but before he could ask, a heart-wrenching pain almost made him cry out in pain.

But immediately, long passages of the essence of the exercises began to emerge in his mind, and these essences of the exercises were exactly the exercises and spells he had practiced.

Xu Taiping suddenly understood.

He thought to himself, could it be that the longer I persist in this pain of the soul, the more exercises and spells the spirit bone tablet will improve?

With this thought, Xu Taiping immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, calmed his mind, and began to resist the increasingly unbearable pain of the soul in his mind.

…

In front of the jade platform.

Although for Xu Taiping at this moment, even if it was just a moment, it seemed extremely long.

But for Dongfang Yuejian and Xuanzhi who were standing in front of the jade platform at this moment, it was only half a cup of tea.

Just as Dongfang Yuejian was quietly waiting for the words on the spirit bone tablet to appear, Master Xuanzhi beside her said in surprise:

"Brother Taiping actually persisted for half a cup of tea?"

Dongfang Yuejian was puzzled when he heard this:

"Is this very long?"

Xuanzhi explained to Dongfang Yuejian:

"Miss Dongfang, you don't know that when the spirit bone tablet is deducing the skills, the cultivator's soul will suffer from the intense pain of soul weeping."

"As an ascetic monk, I think I have good endurance, but in the end I only persisted for a moment."

"Otherwise, in addition to the six reincarnation spells, I can at least let the spirit bone tablet upgrade the grade of one more magical power."
