Chapter 1818: The Mysterious Crystal Skull
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Charles was reduced to a puddle of blood, and the crystal skull clattered to the ground.
Xu Xiaolan exhaled gently, and the flames raging within the museum were all completely snuffed out. She possessed the Vermilion Bird divine dao, which gave her command over all flames, so snuffing out these flames was even simpler than breathing for her.
She then waved a hand, and all of the injured people within the museum were transferred outside. She then cast a healing spell technique, and all those who were not dead, even if they were on the brink of death, were soon recovered to full health!
“Thank you, immortal, thank you for saving our lives!” The woman with the little girl in her arms had tears in her eyes as she bowed to Xu Xiaolan over and over again.
She had never seen an immortal, but she had certainly heard about them, and she knew that this ridiculously beautiful woman was a cultivator and an extremely powerful one at that.
“No need to thank me. I’m just doing something that I should be doing,” Xu Xiaolan said with a warm smile.
She then made her way over to An Lin and also began to inspect the crystal skull with a curious expression. “What’s the deal with this skull?”
“Let’s talk elsewhere.”
An Lin could sense that the police force was quickly approaching.
Xu Xiaolan nodded, and the two of them instantly disappeared on the spot.
Within a secluded forest.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan gathered together and carefully inspected this Fallen God Crystal Skull.
“There is indeed a cultivation method related to life here, and it’s an extremely high-level one that can reach even the Dao Integration Stage…” Xu Xiaolan remarked with a solemn expression.
“The most powerful beings on Earth are only at the Return to Void Stage; how could there be such a high-level cultivation method here? The Heavenly Court is definitely not related to this.” An Lin was also quite perplexed.
As the Heavenly Court War God, he had surveyed all of the Earthly missions in the Heavenly Court, and there were no missions regarding lost cultivation methods. As such, it was very strange that such a high-level cultivation method would appear on Earth.
“Wait… I seem to have discovered something!” The terrifying power of An Lin’s consciousness flowed into the skull to analyze the cultivation method within, upon which he discovered a flaw in the cultivation method.
“This life cultivation method will make the cultivator unwittingly become aloof to human life and even develop enmity toward the human race. It will plant a seed in the cultivator’s heart, and once that seed develops, this powerful being will engage in a senseless slaughter of all human beings…” An Lin’s expression became more and more grave as he made these observations.
Xu Xiaolan was also aware of the severity of this issue. “These things have been hidden very well. Even at our power levels, we would not have been able to discover this hidden flaw unless we focused our attention on it. I can only imagine that other cultivators would easily fall prey to this. Furthermore, there’s no guarantee that there is only one of these crystal skulls. They’re like landmines that could explode at any moment…”
An Lin’s expression had completely darkened. “Is the Heavenly Human Tribe trying to destroy the human race from the inside out? If this scheme is allowed to come into fruition, it would spell disaster for the human race…”
Cultivators were extremely powerful and also very mobile.
Soul Formation Stage powerful beings could bring disaster to an entire city.
A Return to Void Stage mighty figure could even destroy an entire nation.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan discussed among themselves before deciding to forcefully summon all cultivators on Earth in order to determine whether they had cultivated in this mysterious and sinister cultivation method.
They could not expect cultivators to willingly admit to this.
Sometimes, even if a cultivator became aware of the fact that this cultivation method presented a detrimental effect, there was a great chance they would continue to cultivate in it as it presented the almost irresistible temptation of potentially taking one to the Dao Integration Stage.
Thus, the entire cultivation world on Earth was in upheaval.
A summoning order spread throughout the entire cultivation world.
The Hua Nation cultivation world, the European Alliance Holy Palace, the American Alliance, Genetic Alliance, as well as all sorts of other cultivation powers were forcefully gathered without any exception. Those who did not want to attend were tied up and taken to the Peace Immortal Sect like baggage.
Following the investigation, it was discovered that there were several dozen cultivators who had cultivated in this cultivation method, and all of them had become aloof to human life or even developed hatred toward the human race. This further spurred on An Lin’s determination to investigate all cultivators in this world!
In the Death Valley of the USA.
Within a cuboid building shimmering with rainbow light.
“B*stards! How dare the Heavenly Court immortal ambassadors mess with our Genetic Alliance!”
A pristine white male baby who appeared to be about a year or so in age slapped his miniature office desk with fury etched all over his face.
His name was Yuan Ying, and he was the life form in the Genetic Alliance with the most perfect genetics. He was ranked alongside You Mu in terms of both cultivation base and combat prowess, and he stood at the very pinnacle of Earth.
There were two crystal skulls on his table, and their inky-black eye sockets shimmered with a faint red light.
A few powerful beings with golden hair and green eyes stood off to the side with their heads lowered in a respectful manner.
A beautiful woman stepped forward. “Please calm down, Master Yuan Ying. How about we send some people who haven’t cultivated in the Spirit Life Mantra in order to delay the Heavenly Court’s investigation and stall for some time?”
A brawny man with thick, coarse facial hair smiled. “That’s right. Once we perfect our concealment technique, the immortal ambassadors wouldn’t be able to blow our covers no matter how powerful they are.”
“Alright… Very soon, we’re going to show these immortal ambassadors what true despair feels like…” A cruel, sinister light flashed through Yuan Ying’s bright blue eyes.
Whoosh!
The formation outside of the building was suddenly torn apart.
“It has been three days, and no one from the Genetic Alliance has come to our Peace Immortal Sect. Seeing as you don’t want to come to us, I’ll come to you, woof!”
A mighty voice erupted throughout the entire heaven and earth.
“Who dares to trespass on my Genetic Alliance?” Yuan Ying roared with rage before bursting out of the building with his powerful subordinates right on his heels.
Yuan Ying was then completely dumbstruck by the sight of the intruder.
This was not someone from the Peace Immortal Sect, nor was it a mysterious and powerful Heavenly Court immortal ambassador. Instead, it was some random dog!
This was a white and furry dog with his long tongue sticking out as his eyes roamed over the sexy female subordinates behind Yuan Ying.
“I’m here on behalf of the Heavenly Court, so you better surrender, woof!
“Otherwise, I’m going to destroy the entire Genetic Alliance Headquarters!”
The white dog grinned.
Yuan Ying was extremely enraged by the fact that he was being threatened by a dog. “A dog can destroy my Genetic Alliance Headquarters? Do you really think my Genetic Alliance can be pushed around like this? If you want a fight, then a fight is what you shall have! Everyone, let’s feast on dog meat tonight!”
