Chapter 1174: Chapter 1069: Dark Stone Carvings

In the depths of the Land of Mist.

A black path emerged from the void, mysterious as though it reigned above all else.

“…Fortunately, the source origin had to intervene personally…”

The voice on the black path sounded immensely relieved.

“Place these stone carvings here!”

Onto the black path, suddenly blocks of stone appeared.

Those stones… as if coming from the darkest reaches of the universe, pitch black, their hardness extreme to the point where they seemed capable of destroying all divine weapons in the world!

Yet upon the unbreakable black stones were stone carvings.

Those carvings… were all in human form!

Human forms brandishing swords, each movement seemingly containing endless profundity, embodying the grand majesty of the Dao!

About a dozen Rotten Slaves appeared woodenly, moving the stone carvings off the black path and placing them within the Land of Mist.

“Do these carvings from the source origin… represent the Sword Dao that exists there…?”

A whisper emanated from the being on the black path:

“Indeed, worthy of beings who could stand tall upon the Dark Throne even in death… Too terrifying, Sword Dao is unfathomable… to the extent that it requires the Stone of Utmost Darkness to bear its Dao…”

Even the master of the black path, coming from the source origin, couldn’t comprehend the stone carvings on the black stones!

“With these carvings here, I won’t have to face that being directly… I just need to seize the chance to snatch the Lantern… Otherwise, I might truly perish…”

…

Soon, those Rotten Slaves had arranged all the black stones properly.

“Follow me to Lamp-lighting Valley.”

The voice on the black path spoke up, and the thirteen Rotten Slaves immediately turned and followed the black path.

“Ao Wushuang, move faster…”

Among them, the leader of the Rotten Slaves, holding an iron chain, glanced at Ao Wushuang at the back of the line with his nearly rotten eyes!

This Ao Wushuang… his Realm is so weak? As a Rotten Slave, his movements are so slow…

The old Rotten Slave was somewhat puzzled.

At this moment, however, Ao Wushuang’s heart was incredibly anxious, yet he pretended to be wooden and said:

“Yes…”

And then he followed along.

As he walked, he was looking for opportunities ah…

…A while ago, he had traversed the great curtain on the Forbidden Ancient Path and fell into this world…

As a result, he ended up right in front of a pitch-black cave.

Then, he encountered these neither human nor ghostly things…

It was one thing for these people to torture him harshly, but in the end, they even wrapped him up with that foul-smelling Corpse Wrapping Cloth!

Fortunately, the Corpse Wrapping Cloth didn’t really affect him… it just had a stronger stench of decay.

So, he decided to play along for now! Pretending to have become a Rotten Slave… then find the chance to leave.

Otherwise, being with these neither human nor ghostly things, he would surely run into trouble sooner or later.

…

The fog was thick.

Fan Paiming chewed and swallowed the Yishilian energetically.

“Delicious, so delicious!”

He was extremely excited, the Yishilian reaching his stomach and transforming into a potent forbidden energy, rushing straight into his Daoist Scenery, adding a new essence to his Dao Scenery Void Land!

Now… he had stepped into the Fourth Layer of Forbidden Constraint!

“Sorry Yaoyao… I forgot to save some for you…”

After finishing, he suddenly realized…

He had eaten too fast, neglecting his younger sister.

But, Fan Yaoyao said:

“It’s okay, it’s okay, I don’t like to eat that…”

Mainly because it didn’t look appetizing…

Then, they followed Li Fan, moving forward.

Suddenly, a scene similar to before, kept happening!

A Black Ape hidden in a huge tree saw Li Fan and the others, jumped down, squatted at the roots of the tree, smart and well-behaved, even ready to lift its own skullcap!

But Li Fan just smiled; he didn’t fancy eating monkey brains, and he let the Monkey go, picked a couple of fruits for Fan Yaoyao and Fan Paiming.

He himself did not eat because these fruits were visibly too sour and astringent to be palatable.

However, Fan Yaoyao and Fan Paiming found them exceptionally sweet and delicious.

A pure white swallow had built its nest on a high cliff. Li Fan merely glanced at it, and the swallow promptly knocked its nest down, which Fan Paiming then picked up and ate!

A swarm of golden bees buzzed around. Li Fan, quite curious, approached the beehive for a closer look. The bees flew around, yet none of them stung him.

“Hardworking little bees…”

Li Fan took some honey, then asked the System for some sugar, tossing it into the beehive.

After all, the honey was the bees’ own food; taking it, they might go hungry.

—-Usually, beekeepers would give the bees some sugar to eat after taking the honey. Li Fan had helped Uncle Zhang maintain a few beehives in his village, and the System had some sugar in storage, which he now used.

The bees, sensing the scent of sugar, became excited and flew over, landing on the sugar and beginning to consume it.

Li Fan smiled, tasting a bit of the newly gathered honey with his finger, but paused, shaking his head.

The quality… seemed somewhat lacking, not as good as the village honey!

“Do you want it?”

Li Fan offered the honey to Fan Yaoyao and Fan Paiming.

Fan Yaoyao and Fan Paiming immediately became even more thrilled; the honey was so fragrant just by its smell, and moreover, it was like the essence of the Dao, a single drop equivalent to a portion of Daoist origin!

…

Meanwhile.

“No problem, they’re not dead yet.”
