Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2834 - 2833: Origin Power!
Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
Within the embrace of a verdant and dense forest, Lin Dong and Tian Sha moved rapidly, side-by-side, their determined steps propelling them towards the fabled location of the origin power.
The heavens above were a perfect azure, clouds drifting lazily on a gentle breeze, yet this serenity couldn't mask the underlying currents of anticipation and caution regarding the unknown powers that lay ahead.
Seizing this moment, Lin Dong resolved to subtly ascertain if Tian Sha harbored any affiliation with the Blood Clan.
Fleeting glints of profound thought flickered within his eyes, betraying the silent deployment of his mental faculties.
He gradually unfurled his Spiritual Power Domain, an ethereal expanse capable of discerning the minutest details beyond the perception of ordinary individuals.
Within this expansive domain, Lin Dong, with an almost instinctual finesse, meticulously scrutinized Tian Sha’s very being.
His mental energy, akin to gossamer threads, delicately enveloped Tian Sha, diligently searching for any aberrant energies—particularly the distinct, chilling signature characteristic of the Blood Clan.
Every fragment of sensory feedback from his mental probes was instantly processed by Lin Dong’s keen intellect; his brow furrowed in intense concentration.
Following this thorough investigation, Lin Dong finally exhaled a breath of relief, a measure of his internal apprehension dissolving.
He found no vestige of the Blood Clan’s unique aura upon Tian Sha, a discovery that brought him significant internal peace.
While complete trust remained elusive, he had at least confirmed that Tian Sha was not among the Blood Servants described by the Blood Monk in white—those terrifying entities subjugated by the Blood Clan and compelled to carry out their nefarious schemes.
Concurrently, Tian Sha appeared to register Lin Dong’s subtle examination. Instead of displaying any annoyance, he engaged Lin Dong with an open demeanor, readily divulging further insights into the origin power.
"Brother Lin, since you harbor such keen curiosity about the origin power, I shall not keep secrets from you," Tian Sha stated, his voice steady and resonant. "The origin power is a concept of immense complexity and depth. Ancient scriptures suggest it is not a singular entity, nor does it manifest in a singular form..."
Here, Tian Sha paused, seemingly reflecting on the best way to articulate his next thought.
"However, despite its abundance, only a select few martial artists can successfully absorb and wield origin power without incurring the wrath of heaven and earth. This feat necessitates not only a superior level of cultivation and profound insight but also the alignment of rare fortune. Consequently, whenever origin power surfaces, it invariably ignites fierce competition among numerous powerful cultivators, creating scenes of unparalleled conflict."
Lin Dong inclined his head upon hearing this, a contemplative gleam igniting in his eyes.
"I understand. Then, what specific form of origin power are we encountering within this Five Elements Land?"
A thread of intrigue colored Lin Dong’s tone as his gaze fixed intently on Tian Sha's face, searching for any revealing hint in his expression.
Tian Sha’s brow creased slightly at the question. He seemed to delve into the depths of his memory, recalling a legend from distant antiquity.
"The origin power we seek within the Five Elements Land this time is the legendary Five Elements Origin Power," he declared, his deep, magnetic voice resonating as if creating ripples in the very air.
"However, pinpointing its exact nature eludes me. The Five Elements Origin Power is categorized into five distinct types."
"These are, in order: the Golden Origin, embodying resilience and sharpness; the Wood Origin, symbolizing growth and regeneration; the Earth Origin, representing solidity and steadfastness; the Water Origin, characterized by fluidity and transformation; and finally, the Fire Origin, which embodies fervor and annihilation. Each manifestation of origin power not only aids Heavenly Realm Martial Artists in breaching cultivation barriers but also confers unique supplementary boons."
"The precise nature of these additional benefits varies from person to person; only those who have successfully attained and integrated them can truly comprehend."
"Indeed? And how many such origin powers exist within this Five Elements Land? Are there five in total?" Lin Dong inquired with palpable eagerness.
Tian Sha offered a negative shake of his head.
"The exact count of origin powers here remains unknown to me. It could be as few as one, or perhaps all five elemental types are present."
A subtle furrow appeared on Lin Dong's brow. Fully aware of the immense value and scarcity of origin power, he recognized the potential for even the closest allies to turn adversaries when faced with such coveted treasures.
"Then, should only one origin power manifest, how shall we proceed with its division?"
His query carried an undertone of prudence, a reflection of his characteristic composure and rational approach when confronting critical situations.
A faint smile graced Tian Sha's lips at Lin Dong’s question, his eyes exuding an air of magnanimous openness and unshakeable confidence.
He appeared, in that moment, to embody the very essence of generosity and broad-mindedness.
"If there is only one Origin Power, then it belongs to you." His voice was calm and firm, as if he had already made up his mind in his heart, "However, at that time, I also hope Brother Lin can give me a Medicine King as compensation. After all, in this Five Elements Land, Medicine Kings are also extremely rare treasures, and they are also very helpful to me."
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong couldn’t help but feel puzzled, questioning if Tian Sha was truly that generous.
However, on his face, he naturally nodded and agreed without hesitation, "Okay! If there is only one Origin Power, I will surely give you a Medicine King."
Seeing this, Tian Sha nodded with satisfaction and continued, "If there are two Origin Powers, then we each take one, fair and reasonable."
"If there are three, you take two, I take one. After all, this operation is led by you. Unlocking that forbidden array formation will also rely on you, your contribution is greater, so you get an extra share."
"But if there are four, we each take two, no debts between us. And if there are five, then you take three, I take two."
Their conversation lightly wafted away in the breeze of the Five Elements Land, reaching a consensus.
They had already pre-arranged the distribution of interests, but Lin Dong clearly still didn’t trust Tian Sha much.
Always feeling, was Tian Sha being too generous?
The two still had a distance to go to reach their destination.
Taking advantage of this, Lin Dong wanted to learn more about the Origin Power.
So, he continued to ask, "By the way, are there any other Origin Powers besides the Five Elements Origin Power?"
"Of course, according to my knowledge, besides the Five Elements Origin Power, there’s also the Thunder Origin Power, Dark Origin Power, Light Origin Power, and Wind Origin Power..."
"But these are hard to find. The birth of Origin Power is exceptionally special; only in special places like the Five Elements Land, after endless ages, can Origin Power be born."
Hearing this, Lin Dong nodded.
He continued to inquire, "Do Origin Powers have different forms?"
"Of course, Origin Power can transform forms. Some even have spirit wisdom, capable of transforming into demon beasts for attack. If one’s strength is too weak, even if they truly encounter Origin Power, they lack the power to take it."
"It might even be, swallowed by the Origin Power! Anyway, those under Heavenly Realm Martial Artists should not provoke Origin Power, otherwise, it’s very likely to end up with nothing. Not only failing to absorb and refine Origin Power, but also being devoured back; such things have happened before..."
The more Lin Dong heard, the more alarmed he was, indeed not expecting that Origin Power actually had such unique aspects.
