After the second group left, the third group arrived. They were relatively more careful, inspecting the body of the Divine Dragon before taking away its tendons and flesh.
Before long, several more groups came one after another, but all left disappointed. Everyone was drawn by the so-called Divine Dragon Treasure. Ye Tian learned from their conversations that this so-called Divine Dragon Treasure primarily referred to the Divine Dragon Inner Pill, followed by Dragon Scales and Dragon Teeth. However, the Dragon Teeth were too hard to remove, no matter what methods this group used.
Additionally, the title of Divine Dragon was only used by those from Spirit Martial Town; among those who were unaware of its identity, it was referred to as the Crimson Dragon.
Ye Tian roughly remembered that a total of seventeen groups had come. Aside from the earlier ones, by the time the later groups arrived, only a massive skeleton of the Crimson Dragon remained. Naturally, they did not obtain the so-called Divine Dragon Treasure. They had traveled thousands of miles only to return empty-handed, which made them quite indignant. In their frustration, they lingered there unwilling to leave until one group arrived, leading to a disagreement and a fierce battle.
The battle was chaotic; it was unclear how long it lasted or how many factions were involved in the melee, but it was undoubtedly brutal.
After the battle, the surroundings fell silent once again for a long time until...
A ray of sunlight shone down directly, blindingly bright. Ye Tian instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes.
"Blinding... blinding?!" Ye Tian exclaimed as he struggled to open his eyes. Before him was a hand made of white bones; the bones were thin and could not block out the sunlight.
After a moment of shock, he turned his head and looked around. The scenery before him was very clear. In the distance lay a dense jungle; at this moment, the sunlight was splendid, casting some light into the jungle, making it appear tranquil.
As his gaze shifted closer, he saw countless floating corpses and a ground stained red with blood. The bloodstains had begun to dry and cracked as they adhered to the dust.
Before him stood a gigantic skeleton; it was evident that it belonged to the Crimson Dragon, which remained unclean even in death. Beneath his feet lay the dazzling Crimson Dragon Blood Pool.
Crackling...
Ye Tian raised his hand and turned his head; the sound of bones rubbing against each other shattered any notion that this was all just a dream.
If this wasn't a dream, then why had he woken up and regained his sight?
Ye Tian reached out to touch his eyeball, and the moment he did, an intense pain shot through him. However, Ye Tian felt a great sense of joy because the pain indicated that he had already developed an eyeball, which meant he was likely slowly recovering his physical body.
"Is it the favor of heaven?"
This was Ye Tian's first thought, but he quickly dismissed it when he noticed that his surroundings were enveloped by many fragments the size of fingernails. These fragments resembled characters and were continuously invading his bones.
"What is this?!" Ye Tian was somewhat alarmed. It was already astonishing to turn into bones and not die, but now these living-like characters were appearing.
Crackling...
Ye Tian struggled to stand up, but having only skeletal feet made him very uncomfortable. He attempted to vibrate his elemental power but made no progress. Then he tried to mobilize his spiritual power, and as he did so, strands of spiritual energy leaked out...
"What on earth is happening?!"
Ye Tian was engulfed in immense confusion. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with the most plausible explanation.
His ability to avoid death was likely related to what that person referred to as the Five Element Profound Body, which originated from the Spirit Sect and naturally required spiritual power to sustain it. Jujutsu was the foundation of the Five Element Profound Body. The reason he remained alive despite turning into bones was likely due to his Spirit Pouch automatically activating spiritual power to enhance Jujutsu. However, Jujutsu could not compare to the Five Element Profound Body; although it preserved his life, his physical body had been incinerated...
The previous explanation was the most plausible one he could think of, but as he pondered further, he fell into another dilemma.
"Why am I experiencing a rebirth of my skin...?"
Ye Tian looked up and saw those tiny fragments of characters continuously merging into various parts of his bones at a slow pace, with the writing still very clear.
Ye Tian read a few characters simply; they were quite profound and difficult to understand, and there was no beginning or end, making it impossible to connect them coherently.
"Where do these characters come from...?"
Just as Ye Tian was puzzled, he suddenly felt a tightness around his waist. He hurriedly looked down and saw those tiny characters continuously emerging from a charred object at his waist, then starting to automatically seek out positions along his bones for integration.
"What is this?"
Ye Tian picked up the black object with confusion and examined it closely for a long time, suddenly feeling that it looked somewhat familiar.
It resembled a book, but due to the high temperature from the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood, it had become charred and wrinkled, making it difficult to discern. There were a few places where light flickered, barely revealing some characters.
"Spirit... what... King... what... Mirror..."
"Spiritual Treasure Compendium!" Ye Tianjing exclaimed. He had previously been curious about why the Spiritual Treasure Compendium shone with golden light at night and had never shown any signs of wear no matter how it was handled. Now he realized that the paper of the Spiritual Treasure Compendium was definitely not ordinary parchment, but rather the hide of a mystical beast. The golden characters were sewn with an extremely delicate Golden Thread. It seemed that at this moment, although the hide had become distorted from the high temperature, those characters remained undamaged, instead automatically dispersing and reassembling, merging into his body.
"What exactly are these words?"
Ye Tianjing was extremely puzzled, but given the current situation was too extraordinary, he could only wait.
With his sight restored, he could discern time and observe the position of the sun. Ye Tian realized it was noon, and considering everything that had happened before, it seemed that a day and a half had passed since Wang Tianba's departure.
In a day and a half, many things could be accomplished, including obtaining the Divine Dragon Inner Pill, returning to Spirit Martial Town, and exterminating the Cold Family...
Thinking of this made Ye Tian very anxious. He had previously thought he would surely die and felt somewhat dejected about his inability to turn the tide. But now that he had come back to life, if the Cold Family were indeed destroyed, wouldn’t he have come back for nothing?
During the first fifteen years of his life, he often endured the torment of loneliness. Now that he had been reborn, he absolutely did not want to fall back into that kind of despair.
As he pondered, time slipped away unnoticed. At this moment, the sun had already set on the western horizon, casting red clouds like flames.
"Wait! If the Cold Family has truly been destroyed, then my rebirth is just in time for revenge!" Ye Tian freed himself from his worries about loneliness and immediately thought that if the Cold Family had indeed been wiped out, he would not spare a single member of the Wang family.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. He frequently looked down to check because at this moment those small characters were almost completely merging together, becoming indistinct. In this situation, his own body was also slowly regenerating.
It was a strange process; first tender flesh grew from his bones, then blood vessels appeared, followed by skin forming. However, throughout it all, there was no blood...
The new life was accompanied by a faint sound, reminiscent of the noise made when skin is subjected to Incineration, but at this moment, it sounded quite pleasant.
Ye Tian knew he was undergoing rebirth.
However, calling it rebirth was not entirely accurate, as he had not truly died. The current situation could be described with another term: transformation!
With a hissing sound...
As the final noise faded, his skin finally returned to its original state. Ye Tianjing joyfully examined every inch of his skin; it was just as it had been before, even becoming more resilient and firm.
"Why is there no blood?" After his joy, Ye Tianjing felt puzzled again. His newly formed skin was pale, and the delicate blood vessels were neither blue nor purple. Moreover, probing with Divine Consciousness revealed no flowing liquid, indicating that there was no blood circulating within him.
Without blood, one could not be called human, or rather, one could not be called a living person.
"Have I turned into a monster?!" This was Ye Tian's first thought. Although he had undergone transformation, if it meant becoming a monster, it would have been better not to change at all.
Just as he was in doubt, an extremely powerful force suddenly erupted within him. This force emerged so abruptly that it left him no time to prepare.
"..."
Ye Tian was left speechless in shock because this power was not only beyond his control but also coalesced into a tangible form around him. The situation became even stranger as it manifested as tiny characters the size of fingernails, slowly floating around him in an orderly manner, resembling a manual for mental cultivation.
Ye Tian attempted to read them; however, after reading the first sentence, an unexpected change occurred.
The characters he had read trembled violently and then vanished. As they disappeared, a wisp of golden mist rose from the Golden Blood Pool and began to attach itself to his newly reborn skin.
Ye Tianxia instinctively retreated; he had already experienced the terror of Crimson Dragon Golden Blood and did not want his freshly acquired skin to be subjected to Incineration again.
But just half a step back, Ye Tian halted his footsteps because he suddenly remembered that he had always been within the Golden Blood Pool. Even after his skin was reborn, he had not left it. This indicated that his current skin no longer feared the extreme heat of Golden Blood.
Upon realizing this, Ye Tian calmed his mind and allowed the golden mist to envelop his body, then quietly observed.
What shocked him once again was the sight of the Golden Blood rapidly penetrating his skin upon contact. Once the Golden Blood merged, he felt a flow returning to his previously shriveled and pale veins...
"Could it be...?"
Ye Tianxin was taken aback; this shock was not just surprise but also an excitement stemming from the unknown.
Struggling to steady his mind, Ye Tian continued to read the inscriptions surrounding him. Each time he finished reading, the inscriptions would similarly cause the Golden Blood to merge with him until it was completely absorbed...
At this moment, Ye Tian felt that his body was once again filled with blood. This blood surged powerfully, far more vigorous than the human blood he had before. However, he was not surprised; instead, he felt exhilarated because he understood what this blood was and fully grasped where those inscriptions had come from and their purpose.
