After leaving Xiao Wu Village, Sunan didn't return to Tianyun City but headed straight north.
He intended to visit the White Bone Slope.
On the way, he didn't waste any time and checked his recent harvests.
He had now integrated five spiritual-level bloodlines.
The sixth one wasn't far off.
With six bloodlines, he had six chances, and when he integrated all four bloodlines for each of his three characters, he would have twelve chances.
With so many bloodlines, Sunan believed that as long as he wasn't incredibly unlucky, he had a good chance of obtaining a racial talent!
With anticipation in his heart, he began divination directly.
"Divination!"
[You obtained a Bloodline Spirit Fruit. This is a rare fruit that can enhance your bloodline. Do you want to consume it now?]
[After ingesting the Bloodline Spirit Fruit, you immediately feel a strange power surging from it, spreading throughout your body.]
[You know that to enhance your bloodline, you must focus this power on a specific bloodline.]
[You choose the Twin Winged Serpent bloodline.]
[You activate the Twin Winged Serpent Demon Scripture and attempt to absorb the power emanating from the Spirit Fruit.]
[The power of the Spirit Fruit is drawn and fully converges into the Twin Winged Serpent bloodline, slowly enhancing it.]
[One minute later, most of the Spirit Fruit's power has been absorbed.]
[Two minutes later, there is very little power left in the Spirit Fruit.]
[Three minutes later, the power of the Spirit Fruit is completely absorbed by the Twin Winged Serpent bloodline.]
[Congratulations, your Twin Winged Serpent bloodline has been slightly strengthened, and the power of your fire abilities has slightly increased.]
[The first divination is complete. Do you wish to continue?]
"Is it just a slight enhancement?"
Sunan shook his head, he had been prepared for this, so he wasn't too disappointed.
When the one-minute cooldown for divination ended, he divined again.
This time, he chose the Great Ape bloodline.
...
[Congratulations, your Great Ape bloodline has been slightly strengthened, and your strength has slightly increased.]
Compared to the Twin Winged Serpent bloodline, the Great Ape bloodline could only provide a slight increase.
Sunan took a deep breath and continued divining.
He consecutively divined three more times, but the results were not good.
...
[Congratulations, your Dark Wolf bloodline has been slightly strengthened, and your vitality has slightly increased.]
...
[Congratulations, your Spirit Crowned Bird bloodline has been slightly strengthened, and your vitality has slightly increased.]
...
[Congratulations, your Verdant Python bloodline has been slightly strengthened, and your strength has slightly increased.]
"These enhancements are too small!"
Sunan sighed inwardly.
Even though he had been prepared for it, seeing the results of divination one after another gradually made him feel disappointed.
With five bloodlines, all he could achieve was slight or small enhancements, and he didn't know how far he was from obtaining a racial talent.
"Let's try integrating one more bloodline."
He looked at the mana on the panel.
He took out the last copy of the Three Yang Crow bloodline he had purchased at the Heavenly Palace Pavilion.
It was a bloodline related to the Fire element, controlling the power of flames.
Bloodline usage.
Two to three minutes later, the bloodline integration was complete.
Zhang Yang's personal information panel also displayed a second spiritual-level bloodline.
"Upgrade!"
Consuming 60 mana, the Demon Scripture was upgraded to perfection.
Another 20 mana consumption, and the mana pool that had originally been 96 points in size was reduced to 16 points in the blink of an eye.
The Three Yang Crow bloodline also reached perfection, causing the Fire power within him to surge significantly.
"Now, even without a racial talent, I should be able to hunt down early-stage Mystic-class monsters!" Sunan was full of confidence with six spiritual-level bloodlines at perfection.
If it weren't for the two Demon Kings present, he would have loved to go to the city right now and hunt down a Mystic-class monster to test it out.
[Congratulations, you have once again completely upgraded a Demon Scripture to perfection, further enhancing your ability to survive and thrive in this world.]
[Your talent for predicting the future has been strengthened, granting you an additional three uses per day.]
The daily prediction count had now reached 42!
And today's remaining count had also increased, now at 23!
"Divination."
The sixth divination began.
...
[Congratulations, your Three Yang Crow bloodline has been greatly enhanced, and your Fire power has significantly increased, bringing you one step closer to obtaining a racial talent.]
"Finally, a significant enhancement!"
Sunan's spirits lifted slightly.
Although he was still a bit away from the racial talent he desired, it was undoubtedly a huge improvement compared to the other bloodlines.
This gave him hope once again that he could obtain a racial talent using the Bloodline Spirit Fruit!
He put away the Bloodline Spirit Fruit.
Feeling the growing Fire power within him, Sunan reached into his pocket and took out the Fire Spirit Soul, starting his daily feeding.
With the significant increase in Fire power, the feeding time for the Fire Spirit Soul also extended.
It took a full six to seven minutes before his Fire power was depleted, and the connection with the Fire Spirit Soul had naturally improved.
When his Fire power slightly recovered, Sunan attempted to refine it again.
Unfortunately, as always, there were no surprises.
...
Half an hour later.
Sunan finally arrived at the White Bone Slope.
Standing on an ancient tree, he gazed ahead.
In front of him, about a kilometer away, lay an endless slope where nothing grew. Unlike the color of the land elsewhere, the surface here was white, as if it had been mixed with many white particles in the soil. The further he looked, the whiter it became, and it even appeared as if the surface had been covered by a layer of white snow.
However, it wasn't snow; it was the bone dust left behind by weathered skeletons!
"How many humans and creatures had to die here to create such a sight?" Sunan couldn't help but shiver.
And this was just the exposed surface of the bones. He didn't dare to imagine what it would be like inside the Bone Cavern.
"Let's divine here."
[You have arrived at White Bone Slope, one of the three forbidden areas in Tianyun County. This place was once a battlefield between the ancient human race and the demon race, and countless king-level powerhouses died here.]
[One minute later, you enter the White Bone Slope area, stepping on the weathered and decaying bone fragments as you explore deeper.]
[The air in White Bone Slope is filled with a faint deathly aura and malevolence, making you uncomfortable.]
[Two minutes later, you suddenly see a strange creature resembling a monkey made entirely of bones wandering in the distance. You know it's a bone demon unique to White Bone Slope.]
[You have a clever idea to try using the Body Transformation technique to transform into the appearance of a bone demon.]
[Unfortunately, you fail. Body Transformation cannot turn you into a creature without flesh.]
"This is troublesome. Without being able to transform into a bone demon, entering the Bone Cavern with my current strength is almost certain death!" Sunan's heart sank.
Body Transformation was one of his most significant means of exploring dangerous places.
Now that it had lost its effectiveness, the difficulty of exploring this place had undoubtedly increased significantly.
[At this moment, the bone demon finally notices you and quickly rushes toward you.]
[You don't take any chances and quickly cast a water arrow before the bone demon gets close.]
[This is just an ordinary bone demon, very weak. Your water arrow easily pierces through its skull.]
[However, the bone demon doesn't stop, continuing to rush towards you. You realize that water arrows are not very effective against these creatures.]
[You give up using elemental magic and switch to using physical strength. As the bone demon approaches, you suddenly throw a punch. With this punch, you successfully crush the bone demon and continue to explore forward.]
[Three minutes later, you have searched through most of White Bone Slope and haven't encountered any other dangers.]
[The first divination is complete. Do you wish to continue?]
"Continue."
[You continue to search deeper into White Bone Slope, trying to find the entrance to the Bone Cavern.]
[One minute later, you encounter another bone demon, and you kill it in the same way as before.]
[Two minutes later, you encounter three ancient demons. You realize that the deeper you go into White Bone Slope, the more bone demons there are.]
[You realize that perhaps the place with the most bone demons is the entrance to the Bone Cavern.]
[Three minutes later, you have killed a total of eight bone demons, and finally, you spot a tunnel made of white bones extending into the ground about a hundred meters ahead.]
[Congratulations, you have found the entrance to the Bone Cavern.]
[The second divination is complete. Do you wish to continue?]
"Continue."
[You quickly head towards the Bone Cavern, and after a dozen breaths, you enter it.]
[Due to the previous great battle, the space here has undergone layering and distortion, creating a unique and independent space.]
[It's not completely dark here; pale blue bone fires float around, emitting a dim glow.]
[Upon careful observation, you notice countless bones underfoot, as far as the eye can see, resembling a sea of bones.]
[Around you, large and small bone mountains, composed entirely of white bones, are scattered, forming a formidable mountain range, seemingly endless.]
[It's unusually calm here, with no apparent danger, not even a bone demon in sight.]
[A hundred meters in front of you, amidst the white bone sea, a winding path made entirely of black soil twists and turns, bypassing the base of the bone mountains, its destination unknown.]
[Although you don't know what dangers lie within the bone sea, you understand that your best chance of survival is to follow the path.]
[You quickly move toward the path, but as you take just two steps, a bone arm made of white bones suddenly emerges and grabs for your ankle.]
[You react swiftly, kicking out with a foot, shattering the bone arm. However, you don't realize that your actions have instantly angered the bone demons lurking beneath the bone sea.]
[The bone sea around you churns, and countless bone hands emerge, reaching for you. You give it your all, kicking and shattering each hand.]
[Unfortunately, your resistance doesn't seem to help. Instead, it further provokes the creatures lurking beneath the bone sea.]
[A bone demon, standing three meters tall with two long, thick horns on its head, suddenly emerges from the bone sea and lunges at you.]
[You sense an unprecedented crisis and immediately attempt to use the Heaven-Shattering Strike to defend yourself.]
[Unfortunately, you fail. You're dead!]
"This is definitely at least a pinnacle Xuan-level creature!" Sunan was shocked.
Facing the creature, he didn't even have the ability to resist. Only a pinnacle Xuan-level creature could achieve that.
He even suspected that the creature's strength might exceed pinnacle Xuan-level and reach King-level!
"If it's really a King-level creature, then this Bone Cavern is too terrifying!"
Sunan's expression turned serious. The place he was in was just the starting point of the Bone Cavern. He dared not imagine what terrifying beings he might encounter if he ventured deeper into the Bone Cavern.
"There are a large number of bone demons beneath the bone sea. I absolutely cannot stay on the bone sea for long. I must quickly make my way to that path."
"The creatures in the bone sea should not be killed lightly, as it may attract more and even stronger bone demons!"
The first death taught Sunan a valuable lesson.
After looking at the White Bone Slope covered in bone dust like snow, he jumped down from the tree.
Since there was no immediate danger on the White Bone Slope, he didn't need to use divination outside and waste his precious opportunities for foresight.
A few minutes later.
He arrived at the depths of the White Bone Slope, and about dozens of meters in front of him was the entrance to the Bone Cavern.
"Divination."
[As you enter the Bone Cavern, you know that there are a large number of bone demons beneath your feet in the bone sea, extremely dangerous.]
[Without hesitation, you immediately rush at full speed towards the black path a hundred meters away. However, as soon as you move, a bone hand emerges from beneath the bone sea and reaches for your ankle.]
[You react quickly, easily avoiding the bone hand, and continue charging forward. However, the creatures beneath the bone sea don't intend to let you go.]
[The bone sea churns, and one bone hand after another emerges. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of hands surround you, all reaching for you.]
[Luckily, your speed is fast, and you eventually evade the bone hands, successfully stepping onto the black path.]
[Just as you step onto the path, the creatures in the bone sea seem to lose interest and slowly retract all the bone hands. The bone sea falls silent once again.]
[You continue along the path, and after one minute, you pass several bone peaks and reach a fork in the road.]
[Without hesitation, you once again choose the widest path on the left.]
[You know the black path is safe, so this time, you move quickly. A minute and a half later, you see a cave entrance up ahead.]
[You know that entering the cave means certain death. You dare not proceed and choose to use the Celestial Shift outside the cave.]
[With Celestial Shift in action, you successfully bypass the cave and appear on the path a kilometer away.]
[Two minutes later, you come to a stop, and in front of you is a massive city wall entirely constructed from white bones!]
[It's a city, a white bone city.]
