The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 987 - 537: Eternal Flame
...
The cleanup job lasted three times longer than the battle, and when they finally finished, everyone was cursing the numerous corpses. Not many were intact, so the cleanup was both messy and time-consuming.
Once they finished, Yan Xiaobao went over to a pile of corpses and summoned the Eternal Flame from the cavern in his chest. This flame was so hot that even God felt uncomfortable.
With a gentle wave of his hand, he shot a fireball at the large pile of bodies. Once touched by the flame, they instantly turned to ashes.
Extending his hand, the Cosmic Box appeared in his palm, absorbing all the storage stones.
The Cosmic Box disappeared into his palm, and he sat on the ground. Closing his eyes, he entered the world inside the box. Here he saw the life formed with Cai Jie, peacefully cultivating alongside. Watching his friend, Yan Xiaobao held great expectations. He even anticipated that, in this process, his friend would become a god in less time than he himself had taken.
Further exploring the Cosmic Box, he also found the realm he had absorbed. It seemed like an inconspicuous area, but the moment he touched it, he could enter this realm with a thought and leave just as easily. He understood that if he wished to do so, he could use the Cosmic Box to bring people into this realm and carry them along.
Finally, after observing the realm and formation, Yan Xiaobao turned his attention to all the items floating in the space of the Cosmic Box, his eyes widened; there were so many resources, materials, and gold coins. The wealth owned collectively by five thousand soldiers and fifty thousand top experts of the Divine Dragon was so outstanding that when Yan Xiaobao opened his eyes again, his face had a silly grin.
"We're rich." he exclaimed. "We should be able to travel anywhere without worrying about expenses, as there are so many materials and wealth."
"Hmm, you need to remember that every world has its own sense of wealth. What is considered treasure in one world might be garbage in another," the Bull pointed out, causing Yan Xiaobao to become serious. "Of course, I know that." he nodded. "But we have so many materials, and materials can always be traded for gold, especially if they originate from another world."
Upon hearing this, the Bull nodded. Materials always sell well, and items like Demon Cores that contain Earth Sky Essence are highly sought after in any world.
"Let's rest for the day." Yan Xiaobao suggested. "When morning comes, we will break this cave system, letting the outside world and the Holy Dungeon become aware of each other once again—not to mention rescuing the law and destroying the headquarters of An Hee's minions."
Everyone thought it was a good idea, and they together left the grounds of the Central Palace, heading towards the area where the Divine City was located.
They were unwilling to be near the Central Palace right now, as the ground was covered with blood, and it was impossible to relax even if they wanted to.
They soon arrived at the entrance to the Dragon Cave, where Yan Xiaobao had never been before, and he curiously looked around.
The entrance was very flat. A set of stairs led into the Underworld they had once visited, and there were no guards defending it. As he looked at this ordinary entrance, Yan Xiaobao couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Alright, let's stay here overnight. Tomorrow morning we will enter and rebuild the cave." he said, feeling a bit tired when thinking about everything that happened recently. He had become God, possessed a domain, and fought against an entire army. His body and Inner Energy were in top condition, yet his mind was tense, and he needed rest.
No one opposed his suggestion, and quickly, they all began setting up a small campfire, hunting beasts, and pitching tents. Even though none of them needed to sleep anymore, sleep was still the best way to recover from mental fatigue. His friends, especially Sha Yun and Wang Julong, believed that Yan Xiaobao should at least sleep a little to witness him using his Ancestor World Power for the first time the next day.
When Yan Xiaobao realized why these gods were setting up tents, he felt grateful. When Deng Wu and Wang Julong returned with two whole deer, Yan Xiaobao quickly commenced cooking.
It had been years since they had fresh meat, and Yan Xiaobao could imagine that these gods never consumed dried or fresh food; everyone was drooling as the aroma of roasting meat wafted through their small camp.
Sharing food, everyone ate quietly, savoring the taste of the food. Though they didn't need food, it was something they could enjoy, and now was the time to do so.
The two Snake Women sat together, and after eating, they began speaking in low voices. Sometimes, laughter could be heard, but usually, they spoke quietly, and no one tried to interrupt them as they seemed to be in their own world. It was clear that there weren't many Snake-men in the world, and when they met, they connected immediately. They would occasionally glance at Yan Xiaobao and smile.
When he saw how his friends mingled with the gods and how they all appeared open to each other, his heart felt warm. Deng Wu, Chenwei, and Tang Tian sat together, talking about the Holy Dungeon, comparing experiences, and preparing for the day to come.
