<h4>Chapter 1644: Battle Intent Present!</h4>


    In just half an hour, the sea of God Realms all entered that rock.


    When thest speck of blue disappeared, everything in the surroundings rapidly returned to calmness. It was as if nothing had happened.


    Chu Liuyue was dazed. <i>What… just happened?</i>


    Rong Xiu had already bent down and picked that rock up. After taking a few nces at it, he raised his brows slightly and looked rather amused. “I see…”


    “What’s the matter?” As Chu Liuyue asked, she leaned over curiously.


    !!


    Rong Xiu passed the rock to her.


    Chu Liuyue took a closer look.


    This rock was the size of a fist, and its shape was irregr. It seemed like it was also from the crushed tombstones as it was totally grayish-white and didn’t look too different from the ordinary rocks.


    Suddenly, Chu Liuyue’s gaze focused when she saw a nail-sized blue ink mark on that rock.


    That blue ink mark seemed like it was painted on with colored materials and was very bright. One just had to think to understand that it was the mark left behind when the God Realm entered this rock.


    But when they held the rock in their hands at this moment, they couldn’t feel the existence of the God Realm, and it was the same as ordinary rocks.


    If she didn’t see it for herself, Chu Liuyue would also find it hard to believe that a God Realm would automatically enter the rock for no reason.


    “Take a closer look at the blue mark,” reminded Rong Xiu.


    Chu Liuyue leaned in closer. Suddenly, she was stunned, and she met Rong Xiu’s gaze. “T-this is a… totem?”


    Chu Liuyue said thest word very lightly. That was because the blue ink mark was only the size of a pinkie fingernail.


    With a nce, it was an entire piece. One had to take a closer look to clearly see theplicated intertwining lines on it.


    Rong Xiu nodded. “It seems like this God Realm originally belonged to the owner of the crushed tombstone.”


    If not, the God Realm wouldn’t randomly enter a rock.


    Chu Liuyue thought about it and felt that Rong Xiu’s suggestion was very possible. <i>But…</i>


    “The owner of the tombstone should be long dead, right? Why has the God Realm not dissipated, and… it even hid itself in such a ce?” As Chu Liuyue spoke, she surveyed her surroundings again.


    Recalling the previous scene, a ridiculous thought suddenly surfaced in her mind. “Wait! Could it be… those God Realms are all—”


    Before she could finish her sentence, Chu Liuyue felt something hit against her feet. Without even taking a close look, she knew that it was a rock again!


    She lowered her head rather stiffly and took a nce.


    As expected—the shape was different, but it was indeed a rock as well.


    A tiny sound came by her ears as if something were approaching her.


    Chu Liuyue turned around.


    A God Realm glowing with green floated over. When it arrived before the two of them, the same scene happened again!


    <i>Hu!</i>


    That green God Realm entered the second rock and also left behind a small totem on it!


    As the mark was too small, Chu Liuyue couldn’t determine if the two totems were the same.


    However, what she cared about the most now wasn’t this. It was…


    <i>What exactly is this ce, and how do we exin everything that just happened?! </i>


    “These rocks fell in together with us previously.” Rong Xiu paused for a moment and gazed at Chu Liuyue thoughtfully. “It seems like… their sudden attack previously was just to drag you down.”


    “Drag me down?” Chu Liuyue reached out and pointed at her nose in shock. “But why is that so?”


    <i>This is my first time at the God-Killing Tumulus, and I’ve been very well-behaved on the journey. I didn’t do anything wrong, right? Why did these rocks pester me for no reason? </i>


    A dark glint shed across Rong Xiu’s eyes before it disappeared. Then, he nced at the intense darkness at the side.


    After a slight pause, he said, “Perhaps… you have something that they want.”


    Chu Liuyue did not understand it. <i>Could I be a well-loved item here? </i>


    “If that’s so, doesn’t it mean… these God Realms and the rocks all have a certain amount of consciousness?” <i>And these two items can only contain their owner’s willpower! </i>


    “Could it be that the people back then have not died?” Chu Liuyue muttered to herself.


    “No, they did die,” said Rong Xiu calmly.


    Chu Liuyue was dazed and looked at him doubtfully. “How…. do you know?”


    Rong Xiu paused. “That’s because these God Realms don’t have an owner.”


    “Don’t have an owner?”


    “Normally, when the owner’s physical body is destroyed, the God Realm naturally can’t survive. However, this ce is different. During the battle at the God-Killing Tumulus back then, countless strong warriors died, and the explosion of forces directly destroyed the ce. This caused nothing to be able to grow here for the next thousands of years.”


    “The harshness everywhere and the countless damaged heroic souls intertwined, causing the forces here to be distorted. Hence, all the forces gathered and formed a strange pattern.”


    “These cultivators were dead, but their battle intent back then was preserved in some way, living in the respective tombstones and God Realms.”


    “All in all, although the cultivator is dead, their battle intent is still here.”


    After Rong Xiu finished speaking, Chu Liuyue fell into deep shock and silence. <i>What kind of shocking battle could cause the battle intent to still exist after thousands of years? What kind of stubbornness would cause one to be preserved in the world and not disappear after they are destroyed? </i>


    “Battle intent…” Chu Liuyue subconsciously held the rock in her hands tightly and furrowed her brows. “Rong Xiu, how do you know all of this?”
