Chapter 68: Resolving the Supreme Bone's Mystery

"Oh, Willow God has revived!" Xiao Budian exclaimed.

At this moment, many people woke up and looked towards the village entrance, staring nervously at the willow tree emitting a green glow, filled with awe.

Especially the Stone Village people, who were incredibly devout, meticulously offering sacrifices, revering the charred willow tree as a deity, expressing their respect.

Because during the great calamity a few months ago, if not for Willow God moving their village, Stone Village would have been gone by now.

Of course, what surprised them the most was that, besides Xiao Budian, Willow God actually communicated actively with an outsider, which was unprecedented!

"Senior, I have a question I wish to ask you, to guide me out of my confusion." Lin Fan stood beneath the willow tree, humbly seeking guidance.

"What is it?" Willow God's Divine Thought transmitted, a very ethereal voice, impossible to distinguish gender.

"It's like this…" Lin Fan recounted, explaining the matter of his Supreme Bone and asking about the bone extraction.

"Hiss…" Everyone gasped, taking a cold breath. This young man actually wanted to remove his Saint Bone; it was too shocking.

Wasn't it good to have an extra bone? Possessing one's own unique original runes, comparable to an ancient Vicious Beast, enough to dominate the world in the future.

"Crazy…" Yue Chan muttered, completely baffled by his actions.

Something that countless people would envy and couldn't get enough of, yet you despise it. You deserve to be struck by lightning!

Village Chief Shi Yunfeng was also there, but he wasn't as shocked as the others. Instead, he glanced at Xiao Budian, who was quietly listening.

"You are right, the strongest point can also become a restriction." Willow God praised.

"Willow God, you also agree with me extracting the bone and then regenerating it?!" Lin Fan asked excitedly, blinking his gem-like large eyes.

"A withered tree can revive in spring, and leeks are cut again and again. There is indeed an Opportunity for Nirvana, to transcend the past and become stronger, but…" Willow God transmitted, her words seemed to hesitate, pausing, as if having some reservations.

"But what?" Lin Fan was puzzled, eager to know the reason, as it concerned his Dao path. His eyes showed longing, and he sincerely said, "Willow God, please speak, I can accept anything."

"Alright then, but next I need to examine your Physical Body. Do not resist during this process." Willow God warned seriously.

"Okay, no problem, Senior, please proceed." Lin Fan nodded, very generously, opening his arms. He even mischievously asked if he needed to take off all his clothes.

"No need."

The next moment, the entire willow tree glowed, sacred and flawless, extending its only remaining verdant branch and touching his chest.

Lin Fan did not dodge or resist. His mind and body were ethereal and calm. He believed that a powerful being would not harm a small person like himself, allowing the other party to examine him.

However, during this process, he felt as if he were naked, completely exposed. Even with his thick skin, he couldn't help but blush.

After a long time, Willow God retracted her branch, muttering in a very low voice, "So that's how it is."

Lin Fan instantly sobered up, opening his eyes. Only he heard that sentence, and asked, "Willow God, how is it?"

Willow God replied, "This bone of yours is different. It seems Innate but is not Innate. If extracted, it might not be able to regenerate."

"Ah…" Lin Fan was greatly surprised, then scratched his head in confusion, saying, "What does that mean? Is my Supreme Bone Acquired and grafted?"

At this point, Xiao Budian's porcelain doll-like face next to him changed color. For some reason, he seemed to dislike the words "bone extraction and grafting."

"That shouldn't be. This bone has been in my body ever since I can remember?" Lin Fan murmured to himself.

He was born in No Man's Land, and the first person he met was Ye Qingxian. But with her personality, she would never be the type to secretly transplant a bone for him.

Because if she had such a precious bone, that fellow would have hidden it for herself, so why would she give it to him?

"What I mean by 'not Innate' does not refer to Acquired bone transplantation, but rather that it grew within your body, yet it is different from those with naturally formed Innate Supreme Bones." Willow God explained, with a hint of surprise in her tone.

This was incredibly astonishing. A former Supreme existence actually showed an emotional fluctuation because of a bone, which was very rare.

Lin Fan's large eyes rolled, and he suddenly understood, saying, "Oh, I get it. You mean this bone of mine grew in my body later, and wasn't there since birth."

"Exactly. A true Innate Supreme Bone is bestowed by heaven, formed in the mother's womb. So, yours is like Innate but not Innate." Willow God's voice came again, ethereal like an Immortal.

Lin Fan was stunned, not knowing what to do. Should he extract it or not?

If he didn't extract it, he could only walk the path of Physical Body becoming a Saint, unable to use offensive Divine Abilities, which would be too disadvantageous in combat.

Furthermore, he would need to at least firmly suppress everyone in terms of Physical Body, being as hard as divine metal and immune to magical power, but this was extremely difficult to achieve.

But if he extracted it, he would no longer be a Primeval, and it would never grow back.

However, at this moment, Willow God spoke again, "You don't need to be so conflicted. Your bone can grow and nurture again."

"What?!" Lin Fan's eyes widened. This news was shocking, unbelievable, and simply unheard of.

At this moment, everyone was startled. There was actually such a strange bone in the world, capable of Acquired growth. Was this an Immortal Bone?

"Then how can I make it grow again?" Lin Fan asked with an excited and restless heart.

"Haven't you already discovered it? To make it grow, you need to look at your own Dao. At that time, this bone will naturally develop along with you."

Willow God replied calmly. As the cool night wind blew, her branches swayed, sparkling brightly.

Lin Fan pondered, some things flashed through his mind, and his eyes lit up, as if he had an Epiphany instantly. His brows relaxed, and he looked radiant.

"Thank you, Willow God, for your guidance. I know what to do now." He bowed solemnly.

"No need. I have also gained much from observing your Dao and owe you a Karma." Willow God transmitted, with a faint smile.

"Uh…" Lin Fan felt inexplicable. What great Dao could he, a small fry in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, possibly have that would make a powerful being owe him Karma?

"Don't think about it. You will know in the future." Willow God's voice was gentle and very relaxing, giving a sense of closeness. She continued, "To repay this Karma, I have a technique I can impart to you, to help you."

Immediately after, the tender green willow branch rose and touched Lin Fan's glabella. Radiant light scattered, shining brightly, with a special Dao essence radiating, difficult to describe.

In an instant, everyone seemed to see a towering willow tree, a Supreme deity, receiving worship and sacrifices from one divine kingdom after another, a scene so grand it shook the heavens and earth.

"What is the origin of this willow tree?!" Yue Chan covered her O-shaped mouth, her delicate face filled with shock.

Such a sight, even for her as a Saintess of a great sect, she had never seen it, nor had she ever heard of it in bone books. It was beyond imagination.

"The willow tree was definitely an extremely powerful being before, far incomparable to those sect masters in the Lower Realm." Yue Chan judged, thinking of the Upper Realm.

Furthermore, the technique imparted by the willow tree must be extraordinary, otherwise, there wouldn't be such a phenomenon.

Thinking of this, Yue Chan felt a little envious. This guy's Opportunity was truly good.

Even Xiao Budian exclaimed, "Oh, Willow God is imparting an incredible treasure technique to Brother Lin Fan!"
