"This is..." Han Shuang stared incredulously at the sand in her hand. "The sand that was formed after holy armament was destroyed."
The altar of the Kui was originally used to absorb lightning from the sky and refine it. The refined lightning was stronger and purer than normal lightning and would provide great aid to the Kui's cultivation. It would be used to reward the outstanding younger generation or someone who contributed to the clan.
After the lightning was refined, it would be contained in the altar. The refined lightning still retained its nature, which was destructive and wild, so not many Kuis could absorb it directly, not to mention the younger generation. So the holy armament was necessary to make the process of absorbing refined lightning smoother.
And now that very holy armament was destroyed beyond recognition and became a pile of sand.
Because it still retained the characteristics of the material used to make the holy armament, it could still absorb and transfer lightning. That's why it released lightning immediately after Han Shuang tried to touch it.
"Are you sure?" Everyone was looking at Han Shuang.
"Yes," she nodded. "I can't be mistaken. I am very familiar with it."
Everyone believed what she said. After all, they knew that it was not just once or twice; she sneaked into the altar to steal some refined lightning from the Kui clan.
Every time they came here, she would do it, giving a headache to the Kui clan elder. There was one time when they activated the entire formation of the lightning temple just to keep her away. Unfortunately, it was for naught.
In the end, they just let her to her own device and pretend not to know anything, as Fang Jiuyi also didn't want to intervene in what she was doing.
"Even the holy armament was destroyed." Su Xin Yi murmured.
"Should we continue to search for other clues?" Su Xin Yi looked at Fang Jiuyi.
"No, it's of no use. Even the holy armament was destroyed, it's impossible for other objects to be whole." Fang Jiuyi shakes his head.
Holy armament was one of the highest grades for weapons or tools; for it to be destroyed, one could gleam just how terrible the disaster was at that time.
For it to be destroyed to the degree of becoming sand, there was no hope for other objects to be preserved.
"Darling, why don't you try to searh it from heaven's secret?"
"Okay, let me try." Fang Jiuyi nodded.
He closed his eyes, and his entire aura became different instantly. His entire body gave off an otherworldly aura that was not tainted by any filth. It was like a saint who was covered in holy light.
As soon as he opened his eyes, white light shone from them before disappearing.
"How is it? Do you find something?" Shen Meng Yao asked.
"No." Fang Jiuyi shakes his head. "Maybe they didn't survive one of the cataclysms."
Even though the Heaven Search Engine was great, it could only search information from the current server (Heaven).
Everything would change with time, and so was the heaven's law. After millions of years, the heaven laws would also change, which signified the end of a cultivation era, and the end of a cultivation era was the arrival of the disaster—the cataclysm.
It was a huge disaster that struck the whole universe, and no one could evade it. They could only endure and try to survive.
It was not strange for the whole clan of Kuis to perish in the cataclysm.
And Fang Jiuyi's Heaven Search Engine could only search for information from the current heaven, so if the annihilation of the Kui was in the previous cultivation era, then there would be no information about it.
In each cultivation era, the heaven's law was also different. An example would be in Fang Jiuyi's cultivation era, when the mainstream cultivator was cultivating their bodies and souls. The cultivation of the essence didn't even exist back then. Even if it existed, he reckoned almost no one would cultivate it. Because at that time, monsters, beasts, and many other strange lifeforms still roamed free on the land.
They had a strong body or had a strange technique that would target the soul, so if the cultivator didn't have a strong body and soul, it would be difficult to survive.
Of course, it didn't mean the essence cultivator was weaker; it was just that the essence cultivator was more vulnerable at that time than the body and soul cultivators.
It was also why he just upgraded Wei Fang's cultivation technique for the reward. Even though he could also create an essence cultivation technique with his high cultivation realm, it would be troublesome.
After all, for someone of his level, it would be embarassing to create some lousy technique.
"Ah, what a pity!" Han Shuang lamented, "What kind of meat should we use to substitute the Kui's meat in the future?"
So, it was what you were pitying about.
Fang Jiuyi looked at Han Shuang speechless. We talked about clan extermination, and you felt pity about their meat.
"Then, how about we get Kun's meat first?" Shen Meng Yao's eyes were glowing.
"No, no, no." Han Shuang shook his head and said, "We should think about substitutes for Kui's meat first. It was the most important thing."
"No, I already backed down before; now we must get Kun's meat." Shen Meng Yao said firmly.
Why did it become ingredient searching? Aren't we just trying to unravel the mystery of Kui's disappearance?
But, thinking about it, in the first place, the reason they came here was really to get cooking ingredients.
Maybe I should really think about what meat to get.
No, no, no, how can I become like the two of them? Fang Jiuyi shakes his head.
I should try to check if there were survivors of the Kui clan. Right, while I was on it, I could also try to get their meat. It was killing two birds with one stone.
He nodded and then proceeded to search for information about the Kui clan.
There was a result this time.
The Kuis were not entirely extinct, but they did not endure the disaster either.
From a clan that inhabited an entire world numbering in the millions, now there are not even a hundred thousand remaining.
The survivors of the Kui clan were scattered throughout many world.
They were not even gathered, forming a proper clan, but lived like fragrant. There were many who died without even seeing another member of their clan. It was a really tragic fate for one of the strongest primordial beasts.
Fang Jiuyi lamented how hard it was to live in this world.
"Let's go!" He said this to the two people who were still quarreling.
"Where? We would look for Kun's meat, right, honey?" Shen Meng Yao winked her eyes seductively.
"Do you already have an idea about what meat to substitute for Kui's meat, darling?"
"No, we go to the Kui clan survivor." Fang Jiuyi shakes his head.
"Are there still survivors?" The three people looked at Fang Jiuyi in unison.
"Yes, there is. But they are spread everywhere. I thought of visiting the strongest of them." Fang Jiuyi nodded.
"Ok, let's go!"
The three of them disappeared and appeared again inside the cloud manor before they also disappeared from that world.
