Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2748 - 2747: The Mysterious Five Elements Stele

The night reflected the icy, inscrutable features of the Blood Clan Young Master, hiding any trace of the cruelty dwelling within his spirit.

Witnessing the cold-blooded manner in which the Young Master dealt with the Human Warrior, the Blood Slave inclined his head with a touch of reverence and spoke: "Young Master, our exhaustive inquiries have finally identified the Human Warrior. He is Lin Dong, a name currently spreading rapidly across the continent. Shall we pursue him to enact our vengeance and cleanse this insult?"

Upon hearing this, the Blood Clan Young Master narrowed his eyes, two spectral flames flickering deep within his gaze. He offered a slight nod, his voice resonant and commanding: "Indeed, we must not permit this human to continue his ascent. He will inevitably become a grave threat to our Blood Clan unless he is removed. I shall personally employ the Blood Clan’s Tracking Technique to pinpoint his location and conclude this affair immediately."

With those words, he extended his hand, tapping the air with his fingertip. A surge of ancient, potent magic erupted from his form, coalescing within his palm.

As he whispered archaic incantations, the very air appeared to solidify, and an unsettling, sanguine aura expanded outward.

This was the signature Tracking Technique of the Blood Clan, capable of locating targets through any item linked to their essence.

"Blood Jade, grant me your guidance," he murmured. Suddenly, a glowing blood-red jade manifested in his hand, a twin to the artifact Lin Dong had seized from Xue Chen.

As a sacred relic of the Blood Clan, this stone was saturated with intense Bloodline Power, serving perfectly as a medium for this pursuit.

However, when the Young Master attempted to lock onto Lin Dong’s trail, he was shocked to find the jade's influence deflected by an invisible obstruction. No matter the force of his efforts, he could not pierce this barrier to discern Lin Dong’s position.

"The Blood Jade's connection is severed? What manner of sorcery is this?" The Blood Clan Young Master’s face darkened, skepticism coloring his features.

He understood that blocking such a spell was no trivial feat, implying either an immensely powerful protector stood behind Lin Dong, or the man himself possessed a formidable Secret Method.

After a brief silence, a grim smile played on his lips, and a predatory glint returned to his eyes: "It appears Lin Dong is more intriguing than I anticipated. No matter. Since the Blood Jade is currently useless, let it be."

"Time is on our side. Now that we have identified him, he is no different from prey in a hunter's sight. We have ample room to orchestrate his downfall and savor this cat and mouse game."

As he concluded, the tension shifted, though the underlying killing intent and resolve only intensified.

Observing this, the Blood Slave remarked, "This human is linked to the Dragon Kingdom War Department Base and will likely return there. Young Master, can we leverage this?"

The Blood Clan Young Master offered a firm nod: "Indeed. Blood Slave, they say you are the most volatile of the Seven Great Blood Servants, heavy on brawn but light on strategy. It seems that assessment was mistaken."

"I am honored by the Young Master’s commendation," the Blood Slave bowed hastily.

"Let us depart!" With no desire to linger, the Young Master channeled his power, vanishing into a swirling crimson vortex.

...

Elsewhere, Lin Dong had moved far from the carnage of the battlefield, his movements graceful, as if he were walking upon the air itself.

Leveraging the wonders of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, he bypassed the towering Sky Cloud Mountain Range and descended into the enigmatic, shifting landscape of the Azure Water Abyss.

Enveloped in thick mist and dancing ripples, this place was a sanctuary of silence, standing in stark contrast to the chaos he had left behind.

Even in safety, Lin Dong’s attention remained fixed on the Blood Jade.

The crimson jade taken from Xue Chen sat quietly within his Dragon Ring Space, shrouded in a veil of faint Spiritual Light that severed it from the outside world.

Lin Dong understood that the Blood Clan’s lingering aura upon the artifact was significant; even he could not easily purge it.

However, his Dragon Ring, a supreme treasure, granted him the unique ability to isolate all signatures, rendering him untraceable even to those using such artifacts.

"This Blood Jade must harbor secrets of the Blood Clan. Once my Cultivation level increases, I will surely unlock them," Lin Dong mused, his resolve hardening.

His thoughts then drifted back to the confrontation with Xue Chen and Macaron.

Though he had eliminated them, there was a sting of regret regarding the lost spoils.

He exhaled softly, his voice tinged with frustration: "It is a pity. I have yet to fully master Sword Two. While that single strike obliterated both Xue Chen and Macaron, it left me unable to recover their possessions."

"They surely held immense treasures. Such a loss; one strike reduced everything to dust, save for the Blood Jade."

As he lamented the destruction of his rewards, his mind moved to another phenomenon—the Five Elements Origin Heart.

This treasure had appeared after he absorbed five varieties of Five Elements Energy and was identified by the Five Elements Stele as possessing the rare Five Elements Physique.

He surmised that the artifact was a special reward granted exclusively to those of his unique constitution.

"I recall a Dragon Country Warrior mentioning the Five Elements Stele, noting that high ranks earn specialized rewards."

"By all accounts, the gifts from the stele are extraordinary. The Five Elements Origin Heart is invaluable, granting me deep insight into the fundamental Origin Power of the Five Elements."

"It was that power which allowed me to grasp Sword Two. Without it, the fight against Xue Chen and Macaron would have been far more hazardous."

Furthermore, Lin Dong suspected the Five Elements Origin Heart held potential yet to be tapped. Its utility would prove critical in his future path.

Should he study ancient or super ancient martial arts aligned with the Five Elements, his progress would undoubtedly be accelerated.

Still, the nature of the Five Elements Stele remained a mystery.

"How is it possible that even across endless distances, that monument could sense my path and bestow such a treasure upon me?"

"What is the origin of the Five Elements Stele? What connection does it share with the Extraterrestrial Battlefield?"

Lin Dong paused at the edge of the Azure Water Abyss, gazing into the depths as he contemplated the secrets of the stele and its ties to the ancient battlefield.

The water remained undisturbed, casting back only his solitary reflection. The world offered no answers to his questions, maintaining a profound silence.

"It seems I must eventually reach the site of the Five Elements Stele to see it for myself," Lin Dong concluded, a firm decision solidified in his heart.
