The little skeleton of the White Bone Clan took Shi Yan deep into the Skull Island. Crossing the cave that looked like a massive mouth, Shi Yan felt that it was a dark area where he couldn't see anything.
The Bone Dragon flapped its bone wings and passed through a dark tunnel. After a while, a white light gradually appeared.
It looked like the phosphorescence on the bones.
Shi Yan was calm. He focused and gathered his power Upanishad in his eyes. Gradually, the dark environment became clearer.
They were surrounded by stone walls that were gray in color. Upon closer inspection, they looked like rotten bones. There were many mysterious formations engraved on these stone walls. There were the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and lakes. They were vivid and lifelike, as if they were real.
After a long while, the Bone Dragon suddenly stopped, and the dark cave suddenly became bright.
"Kada!"
The two bone dragons stopped at the same time, standing in a massive stone chamber. It was the center of the Skull Island. The chamber was massive and it had forty-nine tunnels that connected to this place. Those tunnels were like massive ditches that connected to different areas of the Skull Island. Countless ash-gray bones were piled up on those tunnels.
Those bones didn't have any beam of energy. When Shi Yan released his Soul Consciousness to check, those bones had turned into ashes.
Inside the stone chamber, there were so many ditches that looked like water troughs that created a complicated, unknown, massive diagram. In the center of the diagram were two stone coffins made of unknown materials. The coffins were open, revealing a massive bone pond. Some kind of liquid in the pond had dried up a long time ago.
The little skeleton of the White Bone Clan was standing by the two stone coffins. His starlight eyes were filled with deep sorrow.
The atmosphere of the entire stone chamber was affected by his mood. It was filled with sorrow and nostalgia. His skull swayed as his eyes moved around the two stone coffins.
Shi Yan quietly walked forward. He saw two members of the White Bone Clan, one male and the other female, lying inside the two stone coffins.
Apparently, those two members of the White Bone Clan were the parents of this kid. They were lying quietly without any signs of life. Their bones were ash-brown as if they had been corroded for years. They looked like they would shatter at the slightest touch.
Gazing at the two stone coffins and the bone pond for a while, Shi Yan's eyes brightened.
On the bodies of the two stone coffins, there were long bones that extended into the bone pool, as if they were transporting something into the bone pool …
ShiYan became more curious. He carefully looked around and found that the stone paths and water troughs in the stone room converged in the direction of the two sarcophagi. The two sarcophagi then poured some kind of purifying, mysterious energy into the bone pond. The bone pond seemed to be breeding something.
He looked at the little skeleton and understood it shortly.
Shi Yan had heard from Yvelines and the others that the White Bone Clan had "refined" their children. Now, it seemed that this kid's parents had used the secret technique of the White Bone Clan to gather energy from countless bones outside the Skull Island and pour it into the bone pond.
Naturally, it was to form a bone body for the Little Skeleton. After the Little Skeleton's bone body was formed, the parents of the White Bone Clan seemed to have exhausted their life force for the sake of their child. In the end, they sacrificed themselves.
Something unknown must have happened. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sacrificed themselves.
While Shi Yan was contemplating, the little skeleton suddenly looked at him and pointed at his parents in the stone coffins. He was begging Shi Yan, gesturing to tell something to Shi Yan.
Shi Yan didn't understand his language, but he could guess what he wanted. He shook his head and sighed. "Your parents don't have any energy fluctuation. I think … they're dead. I'm afraid I can't help them."
The little skeleton shook his head continually. His eyes shot out a red halo and a white halo, which then fell on the brown-gray skeleton of the White Bone Clan's male member.
Strangely, an extremely weak soul fluctuation suddenly flashed.
The little skeleton's eyes brightened. He pointed at his father's skeleton and screeched to Shi Yan.
Shi Yan was surprised. He concentrated and sensed. He found that there was a feeble soul fluctuation in the skull of the White Bone Clan's man. However, the man had used up all of his vitality. That feeble soul fluctuation wasn't enough to wake him up unless his skeleton had vitality.
The little skeleton pointed at him and kept gesturing. Then, he lay in the bone pool and released a vigorous life force. The life force passed through the bone pool and the stone coffin, but it couldn't really penetrate into the coffin, and it couldn't be injected into his parents' bodies.
Shi Yan observed carefully. At this moment, he got it. A strange emotion arose in his heart.
The stone chamber inside the Skull Island was a strange ancient formation of the White Bone Clan. A couple of White Bone Clan wanted to make their child stronger. They had spent a lot of effort to build this formation. This formation could send life energy to the bone pond through the stone coffin. The stone coffin and the bone pond were just parts of the formation.
Perhaps something unexpected had happened during the process. Perhaps something had happened to their child. To ensure their child's survival, this couple didn't hesitate to use their vitality to save their child. However, they were so weak that they only had a feeble soul fluctuation. They didn't even have a beam of vitality left in their skeletons.
The little skeleton could see that Shi Yan cultivated Life power Upanishad. He hoped that Shi Yan could change this formation and make the energy from the bone pond flow into the two stone coffins. That way, he could use the little skeleton's vitality to wake up his parents.
"Poor parents …" Shi Yan shook his head and sighed. "This formation can only pour vitality into the coffins. I can't use your bone pond to guide the energy to the coffins. Your parents knew that you would do that in the future. They didn't give you a backup plan. They didn't want you to sacrifice yourself to wake them up. "
The little skeleton's sorrow became heavier. He opened his mouth and pointed at Shi Yan. He looked worried.
Shi Yan beamed a forced smile. "It's true. I cultivate Life power Upanishad, but my realm isn't high enough. I can't change this formation. Yeah, but I can use my Life power Upanishad to see if my vitality can help your parents."
The little skeleton nodded continually, his eyes bright. He clasped his hands in front of his chest and bowed to Shi Yan.
"I can only try. You shouldn't have too much hope." Shi Yan stepped forward and touched the core of the White Bone Clan man's heart.
The heart core was the energy support of the White Bone Clan. It was like the God power Ancient Tree of the warriors. The heart core of the White Bone Clan man was a rhombus as if it was carved out of plain jade.
The heart core was cold in his hand. It didn't have a beam of energy fluctuation. It was like a pool of stagnant water.
Shi Yan carefully urged his Life power Upanishad. A drop of blood condensed on his fingertip. That drop of blood was full of vitality as if it could revive a withered tree.
Sizzle!
The drop of blood fell on the heart core. The heart core sucked the blood like a sponge. The heart core glowed with a heartbeat. Right after that, the stone coffin glowed with white light. Flows of milky white light fell from the bones on the coffin into the bone pond. Magically, a viscous liquid appeared at the bottom of the dried bone pond.
"Crack crack crack!"
The little skeleton screamed hoarsely. He screamed and screamed in the bottom of the bone pond. He was so sad that he was about to go crazy.
Shi Yan was bewildered.
He didn't expect that the parents of the White Bone Clan only wanted to save their child before they died. All of the vitality in their bodies followed the original path, flowing through their bodies, the stone coffin, and the white bones on the coffin to pour into the bone pond.
Everything they had done was for the little skeleton in the bone pond. They didn't even consider their own lives.
Shi Yan lived in another world. His parents had died early. Although he had inherited a lot of wealth, he had never felt the affection that was carved in his bones. Since he had started his cultivation journey, he had rarely been touched by something. But today, he was deeply touched by the two skeletons in the stone coffin who had risked their lives to protect their child.
"As long as you pour energy into it, it will flow back to the bone pond. To save your life, they had done everything they could!" Shi Yan took a deep breath. "We can't do this. Let's try to move their bodies out of the stone coffin. Then, I'll try again. What do you think?"
The little skeleton curled up in a corner of the bone pool, as if he were weeping silently. He looked helpless and sad, as if he was on the verge of despair. Only after hearing Nie Tian's suggestion did he pull himself together. Nodding, he jumped out of the bone pool and prepared to move his father's skeleton.
Right when he was about to take action, the Skull Island shook grumblingly. A fierce energy fluctuation came from above Shi Yan's head.
The little skeleton's eyes showed his extreme anger. He hesitated for a while and then decided to go out to check. However, he didn't feel safe letting Shi Yan stay here. Thus, he ordered the bone dragon to carry Shi Yan.
Shi Yan was surprised. He thought that Mei Ji of the Phantom Clan was really fierce. She had gotten rid of the bondage that quickly.
…
On the surface of the skulls on the Skull Island …
A cold and gloomy ice peak was twirled by beams of light. A scarlet flame was releasing a terrifying heat that was melting the ice peak.
Inside the Ice Crystal, Mei Ji's graceful body was pale. Her charming face was pale, and her eyes were filled with fear.
She looked up from a far distance.
Two silhouettes slowly landed from the white mist above her head. They were two shriveled old men with thick Corpse Qi.
They wore strange green robes with a mysterious black hole pattern on their chests where their hearts should be. They were as thin as bamboo poles. Their eyes were dark green, and their skin was also green. Their arms were strangely long, hanging down to their calves. They had three green fingers on their palms that looked like sabers or swords.
Two pairs of dark green eyes gazed at Mei Ji like venomous snakes gazing at their prey.
Mei Ji discolored. At first glance, she knew who they were. She felt chilled.
Boom! Boom!
After they landed, the Skull Island was shaken grumblingly. The little skeleton and Shi Yan felt this quake from the stone chamber. It wasn't caused by Mei Ji.
"Members of the Phantom Clan!" One of the old men harrumphed coldly, walking toward Mei Ji and mumbling to himself, "She's trapped by that little b * stard. It's really interesting..."
"I'm Mei Ji of the Phantom Clan. My friends from the Devouring Clan, I wonder why you came to this island? If you want to deal with the White Bone Clan on this island, we can negotiate. " Mei Ji giggled inside the ice peak. She looked at the two members of the Devouring Clan lovingly and proactively offered them an olive branch.
Unfortunately, not only did the two of them not have the intention to work together, but they even started to attack ruthlessly.
The one who came opened his mouth and spurted a python made of Corpse Qi toward Mei Ji's ice peak. The python bit and crushed the ice. It wanted to bite Mei Ji to death from the bottom.
