Long Yu had no intention of going back to the Wood Gods' fortress to verify if Team Tian Rui had gone there.
Firstly, he wasn't interested in Team Tian Rui. Secondly, if he really wanted to know, he could ask the Death Envoy later. After all, the Death Envoy was still fighting the emperor-level beast in the fortress.
"No matter what happened to Team Tian Rui, we have to leave."
Long Yu didn't dare to stay here for long, and the four members of the Broken Tooth Squad had the same idea.
Although they didn't go to the Wood Gods' fortress, they could still sense the strong energy fluctuations coming from there. It was definitely a battle that was far beyond their martial arts realm.
They didn't get anything from this operation, but the four members of the Broken Tooth Squad didn't regret it because they hadn't always succeeded in their previous operations.
When hunting in the wellspring, they had to know when to advance and when to retreat in order to survive and become stronger. If they only knew how to kill, they would have died in this giant forest a long time ago.
"Team Tian Rui might be trying to reap some benefits while the emperor-level beast is fighting the Death Envoy."
Long Yu took one last look in the direction of the Wood Gods' fortress and turned to leave.
Unfortunately, Team Tian Rui definitely didn't know that the Death Envoy was on Long Yu's side. Moreover, he didn't want to fight the emperor-level beast to the death. The dead spirit just wanted to stall the beast.
Now that Long Yu had gotten what he wanted, the Death Envoy must be thinking of escaping. Team Tian Rui would definitely be torn to pieces by the enraged beasts of the Wood Gods.
It wasn't that the four members of the Broken Tooth Squad didn't suspect Long Yu, but under the current circumstances, they had no choice but to leave.
A battle between emperor-level powerhouses wasn't something they could get involved in.
…
After leaving the wellspring and arriving at the dried-up riverbed, the four members of the Broken Tooth Squad and Long Yu turned back to take one last look at the dense forest in the wellspring.
"Let's go back and rest. We'll see if there's any news from Team Tian Rui in a few days."
Gu Wenshan said in a low voice.
Although the Cracked Fanged Squad didn't obtain anything this time, he was glad that the battle between exotic beasts didn't affect them. Not getting anything was much better than having someone die.
When Gu Wenshan recalled how the Tianrui Squad had walked past them and mocked the Cracked Tooth Squad for being cowards, Gu Wenshan was very upset. However, it was useless no matter how upset he was. If everything went according to plan, none of the nine people in the Tianrui Squad would be able to return alive!
Everyone returned to the Spring Heavenly Pagoda. It was not suitable for Long Yu to stay with the four members of the Split Tooth Squad. After all, he was about to welcome the Death Envoy and exchange the items he obtained from the Wood God Race's fortress.
If he hadn't relied on the Death Envoy, Long Yu would have been more than willing to share what he had obtained with the Split Tooth Squad. Unfortunately, the wood element divine runic source stone he had obtained was specifically requested by the Death Envoy.
Long Yu spent ten Shenbi in the resting area of the first floor of the Spring Heavenly Pagoda to rent a high-class courtyard for a month. In the following month, no one was allowed to disturb him in the courtyard. Because he had paid the money, the courtyard was protected by the Spring Heavenly Pagoda's law enforcement team.
After separating from the four members of the Split Tooth Squad, Long Yu didn't think about what they would think. Instead, he quietly waited for the Death Envoy to return.
The Death Envoy had a deep perception of the Asura Source Stone on Long Yu's body. Before long, just as Long Yu had expected, the Death Envoy found Long Yu and entered the courtyard stealthily without anyone noticing.
"Senior, what's the situation?"
As Long Yu felt the Death Envoy return, he stood up and asked in a soft voice, looking all around.
If the Death Envoy wanted him to feel him, then he could feel his existence. Otherwise, the Death Envoy would be completely invisible. With Long Yu's current strength, he wouldn't be able to see the Death Envoy.
"There were over 300 divine runic crystals in total. I obtained over 200 of them. The rest were all destroyed by this Envoy."
The Death Envoy's mood seemed good. His voice wasn't as gloomy as before. He condensed into a phantom that appeared in front of Long Yu. He looked at Long Yu and said, "Leave the divine runic source stone to me. These divine runic crystals are all yours."
Long Yu nodded. He took out the wood element divine runic source stone from the Nether Dragon Blade's storage space and threw it to the Death Envoy.
He didn't know what the Death Envoy would use this divine runic source stone for, but using it to exchange for over 200 divine runic crystals wasn't a loss. At least, it wasn't a loss right now.
Divine runic crystals could be used to reinforce any building. In Shen Wu world, no one could create divine runic crystals. With over 200 divine runic crystals, Long Yu could use them for many things, including changing the properties of these divine runic crystals.
"I've obtained the wood element divine runic source stone"
The phantom of the Death Envoy squinted his eyes, then took out the 240 wood element divine runic crystals and gave them to Long Yu: "You can embed these divine runic crystals into a building to increase its defense by hundreds or even thousands of times. You can also use your own divine runic power to change their properties first"
"During the process of changing their properties, your understanding of the Divine Rune's properties will rapidly increase. In the great world, many children of rich families use divine runic crystals to quickly comprehend a certain type of Divine Rune. For example, if you use the Nine Nether Divine Rune to fill up these divine runic crystals, your understanding of the Nine Nether Divine Rune will increase by a large margin "
The Death Envoy's words caused Long Yu's eyes to light up.
"There's such an effect?"
This was an unexpected surprise for Long Yu. Comprehending a deeper level of the Divine Rune's power was something he had always wanted to achieve. Unfortunately, he didn't have a suitable method to do so, so he couldn't take any steps forward.
It's been almost a year since he comprehended 20% of the Nine Nether Divine Rune, and the last time was because he absorbed the Demonic Spawn essence that Shu Chan gave him.
Without hesitation, Long Yu asked the Death Envoy for a method to change the divine runic crystals and prepared to give it a try.
"Changing a divine runic crystal will allow you to comprehend 1/1000th of the corresponding Divine Rune"
The Death Envoy reminded him: "These 240 divine runic crystals will only allow you to comprehend 20% of the Divine Rune's power at most, and with your current understanding of the Nine Nether Divine Rune, the effect of increasing it by 20% isn't that great — — I suggest that you use it to comprehend the Divine Rune of Death, that way, your Death realm body training will increase your defense to a terrifying degree"
Right now, Long Yu had only comprehended 1% of the Divine Rune of Death's power. If he could comprehend it to 20%, that would be 20%, then the Divine Rune of Death's power in his body would become 20 times stronger!
Although the Death realm body training was a martial technique that tempered his physical body, and its effect was to make his physical body stronger, when he comprehended this martial technique to the Minor Accomplishment realm, he could still use the Death realm body training to form a defensive barrier of the Divine Rune of Death, which was called the "Barrier of Death"!
The strength of the Barrier of Death's defense was related to the degree of the Divine Rune of Death that Long Yu had comprehended.
The reason why he hadn't used the Barrier of Death before was that even 1% of the Divine Rune of Death's power wouldn't be enough to form a strong enough Barrier of Death, and it probably wouldn't even be able to withstand five attacks from Divine Runes.
However, if he could comprehend the power of the divine runes of death to twenty percent, then the defensive power of the Barrier of Death would increase by twenty times. With that, this Archaean Upper Tier Martial Skill might even allow Long Yu to withstand the attack of an Emperor Road Mystic Realm expert!
This would definitely be a great boost to Long Yu's ability to survive.
"Among the Divine Rune powers that I have comprehended, the Divine Rune of Nine Serenities, Divine Rune of Siphon, Divine Rune of Death, and Divine Rune of Asura are the strongest divine rune powers that come from the Source of Divine Runes."
Long Yu didn't directly follow the Death Envoy's suggestion, but began to analyze it himself. "In addition, the Divine Rune of Self-Healing came from the Divine Rune inscription I obtained from the Heavenly Mandate Continent, but that inscription was not complete, and its power wasn't very strong. As for the Divine Rune of Invisibility, I only comprehended it from observing the form of the Divine Rune that old man Wang Changfeng had formed. If it weren't for the Divine Invisibility technique derived from the Primordial Shadow Kill, I probably wouldn't be able to fool even four Divine Runes with just the Divine Rune of Invisibility … "
The Divine Rune of Asura wasn't important to Long Yu right now, because improving the Divine Rune of Asura wouldn't increase his combat power too much.
As for the Divine Rune of Death, if he could increase his comprehension from one percent to twenty percent, the defensive power of the Divine Rune of Death, the defensive power of the Divine Rune of Death, would increase by twenty times.
As for the Divine Rune of Siphon, if he could increase his comprehension from the original thirty percent to fifty percent, the power of the Divine Rune of Soul Seal Siphon would nearly double.
Finally, Long Yu had now comprehended twenty percent of the Divine Rune of Nine Serenities. If he could increase it by another twenty percent, the power of most of the martial arts techniques he practiced would be doubled.
The Divine Light of Nine Serenities, the Divine Rune of Nine Serenities, the Divine Rune of Nine Serenities, the Divine Rune of Nine Serenities, and the Divine Rune of Nine Serenities Hand — these three main techniques of Long Yu's would be doubled in power.
"Offense is the best defense."
Long Yu always believed in this. If he chose to improve the Divine Rune of Death, then his defensive power would increase a lot, but he wouldn't be able to defeat an expert from the Secret Plane of Emperor's Path.
But if he chose the Divine Rune of Nine Serenities, then the situation might be different. Although he wouldn't be able to resist the attacks of an expert from the Secret Plane of Emperor's Path, he might be able to assassinate one!
Of course, this was only a possibility. It would be extremely difficult for Long Yu to assassinate an expert from the Secret Plane of Emperor's Path. At the very least, he would only have a slight chance of success if he increased his martial arts realm by another level.
"Convert to Divine Rune of Nine Serenities Crystals."
Long Yu finally made his decision.
Two hundred Divine Rune of Nine Serenities Crystals couldn't be converted in an instant. Even if he relied on the method provided by the Death Envoy, he could at most convert the attributes of ten Divine Rune of Nine Serenities Crystals per day, increasing his comprehension by one percent.
But Long Yu wasn't in a hurry. In any case, there were still three months until the Grand Tournament, more than enough time for him to convert all two hundred and forty Divine Rune of Nine Serenities Crystals.
