252: Ancient ruins?

"Xiao Weiqing Trainee, please gather in the Boundary within a Boundary at 3 PM."

The Boundary within a Boundary was the Small World where Lingshen Peak was located.

This was the first time the Training Camp had sent him a gathering notice, and it seemed he wasn't the only one.

Could there be another civilization ruin to enter?

Xiao Weiqing remembered that in Ede City three months ago, he had obtained quite a lot of divine charm substance, and his thousand flame blade had even nurtured three divine patterns.

With a heart full of anticipation... the gathering time arrived.

Xiao Weiqing carried several bottles of Medicinal Pills and arrived at the Boundary within a Boundary, where many people had already gathered in the plaza.

Looking closely, it wasn't hard to notice that these were all people of the Fourth Realm and above.

Before coming, Xiao Weiqing had asked Dongfang Xuan, who hadn't received a notice; it seemed this summons had certain strength requirements.

Not long after.

A total of over two hundred people gathered here.

Suddenly.

In mid-air.

Space-time distorted, and a petite figure appeared—it was the Elf Divine Envoy.

"azure dragon summons, appear!"

The Elf Divine Envoy waved her small hand, and a giant golden token emerged from the Void Realm, then split into palm-sized tokens that fell into everyone's hands.

"213 people in total."

"Each of you has a token. Shortly, you will be teleported to a location. Everything you obtain inside will be yours. However, you must use the azure dragon token to collect one specific thing."

"Divine Envoy, may I ask what that thing is?"

"You don't need to know. If you encounter it, the azure dragon token will collect it automatically."

"Divine Envoy, is there any danger?"

The Elf Divine Envoy said, "Which ruin is without danger? When have you ever come out of a ruin with a full roster? The Divine Hall never issues mandatory missions; those who don't want to go can leave on their own."

"I was just asking..."

In truth, quite a few people were worried because, compared to previous times, those below the Third Realm were not eligible to enter, making it clearly dangerous.

However, they were also reluctant to give up such a great opportunity. This time, the Divine Hall was rarely not 'sucking their blood'; whatever was inside would belong to them.

"Wait here for a moment."

...Xiao Weiqing walked to a corner and waited quietly.

Suddenly.

The Elf Divine Envoy appeared in front of Xiao Weiqing, giving him a huge fright.

"Hee hee... are you really that cowardly?"

Xiao Weiqing said crossly, "The Divine Envoy appeared out of thin air like that; anyone would be startled, okay?"

"Alright, my apologies."

"Is there something, Divine Envoy?"

"Of course. You must listen carefully to what I say next, and you must not reveal it to anyone."

"Then shall we move to another place?"

Xiao Weiqing pointed to the side, indicating there were people nearby.

The Elf Divine Envoy sat suspended in mid-air and said, "Don't worry, they can't hear us."

"Then please, go ahead."

"The place you are about to enter is an ancient ruin. I want you to enter Channel 3 and obtain a portion of primal divine light."

Xiao Weiqing exclaimed, "primal divine light?"

"You know of it?"

"No, but anything with the word 'divine' sounds like something good."

Xiao Weiqing realized his reaction was wrong and quickly denied it, trying his best to remain calm. His eyes didn't flicker as he looked directly at the Elf Divine Envoy.

The Elf Divine Envoy lost her usual giggling expression and scrutinized Xiao Weiqing seriously.

After a long time.

Xiao Weiqing asked in a low voice:

"Divine Envoy, the primal divine light you mentioned... it wouldn't be related to the gods, would it?"

Hearing this, the Elf Divine Envoy suddenly broke into a smile. "Of course not, though it is somewhat related. primal divine light is a sacred healing medicine that only gods can refine. The Azure Dragon Divine Envoy was once injured and has never fully recovered; he needs primal divine light for treatment."

"Injured by Dongfang Hao?"

"How do you know?"

"My teacher told me. This isn't exactly a secret in Great Xia."

The Elf Divine Envoy giggled and said, "Then you'd better act like you don't know. Otherwise, if the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy finds out, you'll be in trouble. He's a very petty person."

"Understood, I don't know anything." Xiao Weiqing nodded repeatedly.

"Good."

The Elf Divine Envoy nodded with satisfaction.

"Then how do I obtain the primal divine light?"

"Just use the azure dragon token. Your azure dragon token is different from the others; it will automatically capture the primal divine light when you encounter it."

"Understood."

Then.

The Elf Divine Envoy's next sentence left Xiao Weiqing completely stunned.

"Of course, since I've given you a special mission, I certainly won't mistreat you. Xiao Weiqing, if you complete the task, the Divine Hall can bestow upon you a talent: Level 7 Fire."

"What?"

"Level 7?"

"That's right."

"And it's a complete talent."

Xiao Weiqing fell into silence, his heart churning. This was the first time he had heard of a Level 7 talent that was given directly, rather than upgraded through a Second Awakening.

One must know.

Extraordinary Talents and companion weapon characteristics are the same; they are very difficult to preserve, and the higher the Rank, the harder it gets.

Once the owner of a companion weapon dies, even if the weapon is preserved, it will revert to its initial state.

Extraordinary Talents are the same. Even if a powerful person raises an Extraordinary Talent to Level 8, once they fall, the talent is difficult to preserve. Even if it is preserved, its Rank will not exceed Level 6.

For example.

If Dongfang Xuan raises his Extraordinary Talent to Level 7 in the future, but then accidentally dies outside.

The Extraordinary Talent 'Sky-Piercing True Thunder' would be almost impossible to preserve in its entirety.

At most, an Innate Skill could be preserved, such as Thunder Flash or Thunder Armor, and the strength of the preserved skill would not exceed Level 6.

Otherwise.

In the hundred years since Blue Star's Spiritual Qi recovery, Level 8 and Level 7 talents would certainly not be rare. Given the resolve of the predecessors, they would never take such power against the Yao Race to their graves.

But.

Now the Elf Divine Envoy was telling him that as long as he completed the mission, he could receive a Level 7 Extraordinary Talent—a complete talent, and it was fire.

What did this imply?

Xiao Weiqing didn't believe this was a coincidence.

In other words, the Divine Hall definitely had more than just this one Level 7 Extraordinary Talent. Since they had Level 7, what about Level 8, or even the legendary Level 9?

And where did they come from?

For some reason, a sudden chill spread from Xiao Weiqing's heart throughout his body.

The Divine Hall had always been so mysterious, existing in its own realm, making it impossible to fathom. Unlike other countries, the powerhouses of Great Xia had always been wary of the Azure Dragon Divine Hall; Dongfang Hao had even once fought his way into the Divine Hall.

Thinking of this, Xiao Weiqing suddenly wanted to return to Great Xia. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a crumbling wall.

Furthermore, the primal divine light the Elf Divine Envoy just mentioned should be the same thing he saw in the Three-Star Civilization Ruins. That was something that only appeared when a god fell, yet the Elf Divine Envoy claimed it was a sacred medicine refined by gods.

That was ridiculous; what god would refine medicine using their own life?

This meant the Elf Divine Envoy was lying to him.

"How about it? Are you tempted?"

The Elf Divine Envoy giggled.

"Two."

"What?"

"Lord Divine Envoy, I want two Level 7 talents."

The Elf Divine Envoy was momentarily stunned; she had never seen anyone try to bargain with her.

"In your dreams!"

"If you can complete the mission, the benefits you'll get inside will be no less than a Level 7 talent."

The Elf Divine Envoy floated in the air and reached out her small hand to press against Xiao Weiqing's forehead.

Xiao Weiqing quickly stepped back and said with a conciliatory smile, "How about one Level 7 and one Level 6?"

"Hmph! No."

The Elf Divine Envoy turned her head and vanished.

"Hey? If not that, giving an extra Level 5 one is fine too."

"Why did she just leave?"

After the Elf Divine Envoy left.

Xiao Weiqing displayed an expression of 'joy' while trying hard to 'restrain' it.

Step... step... "Xiao Weiqing, shall we talk?"

An alluring voice sounded in his ear.
