Chapter 576: Chapter 566: Coordinate Bone, Anchor Point of the Ten Thousand Realms

After Su Mu left, Wu Di pulled out a complete beast bone from the Treasure Pearl.

This beast bone was very complete. Even Su Mu couldn’t tell what species it was. It resembled a Qilin, but had a complete dragon horn and a long tailbone resembling a phoenix tail.

Notably, there was a "sternum" in the chest area of this bone, placed horizontally – could it be used as a forging platform?

Just as Su Mu had predicted, after Wu Di placed the beast bone on the ground, it formed a natural "semi-enclosed space."

The long and thick sternum in the chest area became the forging platform.

Immediately, Wu Di took out the Nine Tripod Fire Furnace from the Treasure Pearl, one of which was the fireplace that Su Mu had just given him.

The other eight fireplaces did not fall short compared to the one given by Su Mu. The central "main cauldron" emitted a faint pressure that easily surpassed Su Mu’s fireplace.

Clearly, the items Wu Di possessed were extraordinary!

Just these fireplaces alone were rare Supreme Treasures of the world, all reaching the Dao Artifact Level, with the strongest main furnace reaching the level of Slaying Dao Perfection!

.....

The beast bone was positioned in the center, and the nine fireplaces were placed in different directions, forming a circle.

After setting everything up, Wu Di used his hand as a blade to cut his arm, letting blood flow onto the ground, gradually forming layers upon layers of bloody runes.

After finishing all this, Wu Di took a deep breath, turned to Su Mu, and said, "Brother Su, it’s done."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu approached and inspected the setup, praising, "It seems Brother Wu is well-prepared."

"I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time," Wu Di replied with a smile.

To forge the strongest artifact, he had been diligently preparing for years, ensuring everything within his capability was in place.

"Aren’t you making a cave dwelling for rest?" Su Mu pointed to the extra space nearby and asked.

Wu Di waved his hand, "No need; I’ll just lie down for a bit when I’m tired."

...

"Tell me your second condition, and I’ll see if I can help," Su Mu continued to ask.

Hearing this, Wu Di hesitated for a moment, a bit embarrassed, and said, "I’m really troubling Brother Su....."

"It’s nothing, just a small effort," Su Mu waved his hand.

.....

"I’ve been searching for such forging material for many years but haven’t found a trace of it....."

Speaking of this most important material, Wu Di couldn’t help but sigh.

In fact, it’s not just him looking for it; those Supreme beings are also seeking it...

.....

"Tell me about it; let me see if I have any clues," Su Mu said.

"I can’t exactly call it a material since I’m not sure of its specific form. It might be anything or even a living creature."

"I only know it’s called by one name....."

At this point, Wu Di paused, then continued, "Coordinate Bone, most people call it—’coordinate’."

When he heard the word "coordinate," Su Mu’s pupils suddenly contracted, realizing something, and he visibly paused.

Wu Di also noticed Su Mu’s expression change and tentatively asked, "Brother Su, do you have any clues?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mu did not answer, but he stood by the riverbank, releasing his Spiritual Sense.

After a moment.

A flash of light appeared at the bottom of the river, and a silver-white fish bone emerged from the sediment at the bottom, slowly floating up to the surface.

At this time, Wu Di also came to Su Mu’s side. When he saw this Transparent Fish, he widened his eyes and held his breath.

This is... this is really the legendary "Coordinate Bone"!

Unexpectedly, in this lifetime, it became a fish!

He looked at Su Mu with disbelief, gazing at him as though he were looking at a deity.

.....

In Wu Di’s eyes, every move Su Mu made was akin to a miracle.

Opening a time tributary, freezing the River of Time, and now, even finding the legendary Fish of Coordinates with just a wave of his hand—what in this world is there he cannot do?

It’s important to note that the Coordinate Bone is one of the most elusive and Supreme legends in All Heavens and Myriad Realms, with few knowing of its whereabouts, let alone finding it.

Because the Fish of Coordinates exists beyond all cause and effect, it can be anything—an ordinary creature, a tree, or a fish..... Its existence is just like any ordinary object in the world, difficult to find and capture....

Therefore, finding the Coordinate Bone isn’t a matter of strength; it’s a matter of destiny!

In countless eons past, the Coordinate Bone had another name—"Anchor Point of All Realms."

As for what this "Anchor Point" means exactly.

Wu Di isn’t entirely sure either.

There are legends that say the Coordinate Bone is a "reference point" for the existence of the Ten Thousand Realms, a determined "Anchor Point," one and only!

Some even say that the Coordinate Bone is the first "singularity" from which the Ten Thousand Realms evolved.

Its existence serves as a "positioning" role for the existence of the Ten Thousand Realms.

In short, there are many theories about the Coordinate Bone, with no definitive explanation.

Because, no one really knows if anyone has ever found the Coordinate Bone, nor would there be any information about it being revealed.

...

"Is this the Coordinate Bone you’re talking about?" Su Mu asked, pointing to the Transparent Fish on the water’s surface.

Hearing this, Wu Di took a deep breath, speaking excitedly, "Yes."

"This is the legendary Coordinate Bone!"

"Brother Su, how did you.... find it?"

He was genuinely curious about how Brother Su found this Coordinate Bone. It emitted no aura and looked just like an ordinary fish, except for its transparency, with no special features.

The difficulty in finding the Coordinate Bone lies in this; the Coordinate Bone could be any ordinary thing in the world.

.......

"It is my Spirit Pet,"

Su Mu answered.

Upon hearing this, Wu Di was stunned; suddenly, everything made sense—why no one could find the Coordinate Bone, because it had long been under Brother Su’s command.

However, a new dilemma arose.

If the Coordinate Bone became Brother Su’s Spirit Pet..... then the core material for forging the artifact was missing. He couldn’t possibly suggest that Brother Su use his Spirit Pet for forging, could he.....?

......

For a moment, the two of them fell silent.

After a long silence, Su Mu finally asked slowly, "Brother Wu, is the Coordinate Bone a must?"

"Or is there an alternative?"

Although the Transparent Fish had recently joined him, it was, after all, his Spirit Pet. He couldn’t bring himself to use it for forging.

During their conversation, the Transparent Fish glanced at the fireplace on the shore, as if pondering something.....
