Chapter 935

Fang Yuan flies fast over the dead materials until he spots a hidden essence turtle, a kind he knows. It died long ago, its expression oddly calm, and a shell fragment turns to purple sand in his hand. A second corpse, an earth chief, meets the same fate. Hidden essence turtles are a Central Continent beast, earth chiefs mostly Northern Plains, yet both lie here together. ^{ch. 935}

Next come three sandalwood sacred elephant corpses, ancient desolate beasts, very rare and barely seen, a mature one holding rank seven Gu Immortal battle strength. Three lie here. He recalls the huge commotion once caused by a bid on a sandalwood sacred elephant egg. ^{ch. 935}

Flying deeper, he passes far more corpses, the numbers stunning near the center. A ruin bat is next, inferior to the immemorial one he once saw at Tai Qiu. Another corpse freezes him: half moon qilin, he thinks, recalling the living one Northern Plains Zombie Alliance treasures. Checking again, he corrects himself: a remnant heavenly dog, said to exist only in white heaven. The more he sees, the more desensitized he grows; his vast knowledge still falls short here. ^{ch. 935}

The space is so vast he has not found its edge. Fang Yuan wonders who could have made this truly uncountable sum, guessing an Immortal Venerable or Demon Venerable. Even a rank eight Gu Immortal lacks the power alone, since regional walls stop most from crossing regions. Only rank nine and invincible in the world could cross freely. ^{ch. 935}

If not a venerable, then only a super organization spanning all five regions could gather materials at this scale. Such an organization would have to stay hidden and mysterious. Even treasure yellow heaven trade could not explain it: such scale would definitely be recorded, and he knows of no record. ^{ch. 935}

He recalls that in his previous life, Northern Plains Zombie Alliance grew strong enough to surpass Eastern Sea’s headquarters. At the time this was explained by an inheritance here: a revival method turning members human and drawing zombies to join. But soon after, Ma Hong Yun destroyed the alliance by force. He never personally entered this place in that previous life, only Hu Immortal blessed land. ^{ch. 935}

Everything here makes him extremely curious, wondering whether even Heavenly Court could achieve this. He judges his direction correct, since the materials here grow rarer. Every kind of monster arose across those five hundred years of his previous life, each super force finding its own way to grow. ^{ch. 935}

A shade of purple ahead catches his eye: a desolate land of soft purple sand, a giant circle at least two square kilometers wide. This is the Gu formation’s central part, where a terrifying explosion occurred. A sea of materials should have covered this ground too, and now nothing is left. ^{ch. 935}

A bright light near the edge catches his eye: thin, half transparent wings, like a cicada’s or dragonfly’s. They give off an immemorial desolate beast aura, shocking even as mere remains. Extremely tattered, they still shine like a gem, giving off a dark golden light. This is the light of metal path dao marks, visible to the naked eye only at a quasi rank nine dao mark foundation. ^{ch. 935}

A guess strikes him: these might be tiger striped honey bee wings from The Legends of Ren Zu, too powerful for even Verdant Great Sun to beat. Their honey wine is extremely delicious, among the finest in the world. He smiles bitterly at his own uncertainty, since his knowledge, though very vast, is very shallow next to what appears here. ^{ch. 935}

He tries to take the wings anyway. Something shocking happens: they leave the sand undamaged, not turning to purple sand like everything else. Overjoyed, Fang Yuan realizes this is a rank eight Gu refinement material from an immemorial desolate beast’s body. Since it also gives off dao mark light, this is more precisely a quasi rank nine immortal material. ^{ch. 935}
