Chapter 800: Treasure Hunting

Translator: La0o9  Editor: La0o9

Gu Qing Shan lightly stroked the jade pendant and carefully sensed its will.

“Hungry?”

He interpreted its intention.

This was the first time he had ever heard that an artifact could get hungry.

“Gongzi, what’s going on with the jade pendant?” Shannu asked.

“Hm… Shannu, have you ever felt hungry?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Not at all, I am the spirit of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain itself, I don’t get hungry” Shannu replied.

Gu Qing Shan nodded, then asked again: “This jade tag was left here for so long that it’s telling me it’s hungry. Shannu, if you don’t receive any power for a long time, will you feel hungry as well?”

Shannu replied: “I wouldn’t. The Samsara Divine Mountain is the manifestation of the Law that protects the six worlds, as long as the Divine Mountain still exists, I will be sustained by the Divine Mountain without needing any other source of power”

Gu Qing Shan looked down at the jade gourd and asked: “What do you want to eat?”

Xiu…

The jade gourd moved a bit and gave off a tiny sound.

An invisible wind began to pick up around the gourd before dissipating.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression changed.

That was the supernatural manifestation of Soul Points.

So this jade gourd needs Soul Points?

Right at that moment, a line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.

[Jade pendant: Adorable is asking for a few Soul Points]

[Are you willing to spend 100 Soul Points to help nurture its manifestation form?]

Seeing that it was only asking for 100 Soul Points, Gu Qing Shan directed the Soul Points from his body into the jade gourd.

Having used Soul Points since Qi Training realm, he was now able to utilize a bit of Soul Points without the System’s help.

Receiving the Soul Points, the jade gourd lightly squeaked with a please voice.

And then it stopped moving.

——stopped moving?

Gu Qing Shan looked at Shannu with a questioning expression.

“What’s going on?”

“It fell asleep, I can feel that it had entered a deep recovery process” Shannu replied.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

Perhaps the jade gourd has been weakened for so long that it needs to slowly regain its strength.

Gu Qing Shan put the jade gourd away.

“Let’s go, Shannu, there’s nothing else suitable for us on this floor, let’s move on” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Yes” Shannu replied.

They landed on the warp formation heading to the next floor.

35th floor.

Gu Qing Shan and Shannu both appeared at the same time.

This was already the second-to-last floor of the Daoist temple.

From what they found out so far, the higher the floor, the fewer artifacts there were, but the more precious they were.

There were only a total of 4 platforms on the 35th floor.

Two of the platforms were already empty, only two platforms still had something displayed.

Gu Qing Shan quickly understood after a bit of thought.

The burly man and the old man both had always had the ability to come here, so it was likely them who took the items here.

The two other items on the platforms were an old Gupin and a giant bronze mace.

A faint, lingering melody could be heard from the Gupin, making those who listened to it unable to help themselves reminiscing about the past, but the more you did that, the more immersed you would become.

Gu Qing Shan managed to escape its influence after a breath’s worth of time.

Even then, he found a layer of cold sweat on his back.

If he was completely immersed in the Gupin’s influence, he would likely be unable to escape and forever trapped within his reminiscence.

Gu Qing Shan was careful not to look at the Gupin anymore.

He walked in front of the bronze mace.

This giant mace was about 5 meters long, he couldn’t imagine who would be able to wield such a huge weapon at all.

But when Gu Qing Shan walked in front of the mace, a jade tag appeared from the void of space and fell into Gu Qing Shan’s hand.

Gu Qing Shan scanned through it with his inner sight and quickly understood the mace’s value.

———-this was a Soul Artifact.

Any Soul Artifact that appeared within the 900 million World Layers would without a doubt be followed by a storm of blood and deaths.

A random Soul Artifact that Laura provided made the Progenitor Fiendess immediately agree to cooperate with Gu Qing Shan’s plan.

That shows how coveted Soul Artifacts were.

And Soul Artifacts must be powered by Soul Points.

——wait a minute!

Does that mean the jade gourd I got earlier was actually a Soul Artifact?

But since the jade gourd fell dormant, I can’t communicate with it for now.

Gu Qing Shan stopped thinking about that and focused on the bronze mace again.

A few lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI as always:

[Bygone Era Artifact, World Remover Mace]

[Requires all the Soul Points of 16 human cultivators to wield]

[Wielding the World Remover Mace to strike the surface of a world will destroy it]

[A small world requires 21 hits to destroy the world’s earth, water, fire, and wind, completely removing it]

[A medium world requires 36 hits]

[A large world requires 81 hits]

Gu Qing Shan gestured: “Shannu, try this item”

Since he already got the jade gourd, only Shannu had the right to pick an item now.

Such a terrifying weapon is better off held in my hands, just in case some mad man gets their hands on it.

Not to mention, an artifact powerful enough to destroy a world would be very good if used well.

Shannu stepped forward and grabbed the long handle of the mace.

Bam!

Her hand was instantly pushed away.

“What happened?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Gongzi, I can’t take it. I sensed that a special secret technique is required to use it” Shannu replied.

Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.

Good, so at least the Bygone Era humanity took some precautions.

If that’s the case, I don’t need to worry about it.

“Let’s go, there’s nothing I can use on this floor, we’re heading to the final floor” Gu Qing Shan said.

“I wonder what kind of treasure is on the final floor” Shannu curiously said.

Gu Qing Shan smiled: “No matter what is up there, Xie Gu Hong must’ve taken the phantom images technique”

“Why do you think so?” Shannu asked.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “The phantom images are countless fragments of time, from countless parallel worlds, besides the Bygone Era humanity, who could’ve created such an unthinkable technique?”

Shannu gave it a thought for a bit and then lightly nodded.

They flew onto the warp formation and left the 35th floor.

The 36th floor.

This was the last floor of the entire Daoist temple.

The entire floor was basically empty except for the warp formation and two high platforms.

Gu Qing Shan and Shannu flew onto one of them.

On this platform, there was nothing else but a long-necked jade bottle at the very center.

Gu Qing Shan and Shannu exchanged glances.

This was so simple that it was completely unlike what they had expected.

Gu Qing Shan first walked up to the jade bottle.

A jade tag immediately appeared from the void of space.

Gu Qing Shan scanned it with his inner sight and quickly understood what this jade bottle was.

Anyone could open this jade bottle.

The bottle would automatically sense the opener’s cultivation and provide them with an appropriate Bygone Era’s Realm Breaker Pill.

A Bygone Era’s Realm Breaker Pill was an extremely practical item that immediately allowed a cultivator to break through to the next realm.

This pill was almost miraculous, but each cultivator could only use one of them in their entire life.

For this jade bottle in particular——-

If the one who opened the bottle was at Chaotic Star realm, an Origin Aspect Realm Breaker Pill would appear and fly into that person’s hand.

The Chaotic Star realm cultivator can consume that pill and enter Origin Aspect realm right away.

If the one who opened the bottle was at Three Thousand Worlds realm, the bottle would give them a Paragon Realm Breaker Pill.

The cultivator would immediately advance to Paragon realm.

The room was already set up so that each person could only take one pill, if someone tried to take more, they would be kicked out from this world.

Shannu also read through the description in the jade tag.

“Gongzi?” she appeared glad

“Hm, take it” Gu Qing Shan nodded.

Since the item on the other platform was already taken to Xie Gu Hong, Shannu could only take a Realm Breaker Pill.

Shannu walked up and opened the bottle.

A pill wrapped in layers of auspicious light came out from the bottle.

Shannu received the pill and flicked it to Gu Qing Shan.

As soon as the pill landed on Gu Qing Shan’s hand, it immediately jumped up to try and get into his mouth.

Gu Qing Shan quickly caught the pill and placed it inside a jade box.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t dare to consume the pill right now.

If he really did try to use this pill at his current low cultivation, the immense energy of the pill would overwhelm his body’s acupoints and make him explode, killing him.

Gu Qing Shan carefully put the box into his Inventory Bag.

——-Zhao Wu Zong was a Void Revolution realm cultivator.

Which meant that I can only use this Realm Breaker Pill when I reach Void Revolution realm and immediately advance to Three Thousand Worlds realm.

This was completely unimaginable, but the Bygone Era’s level of pill making was indeed able to achieve this.

“Both the Adorable jade gourd and the Realm Breaker Pill are excellent items, we really got a good harvest this time around” Gu Qing Shan commented.

“Will we go back now?” Shannu asked.

Gu Qing Shan stood still in thought.

“Gongzi?” Shannu doubtfully asked.

“Master was able to endure the temptation of directly breaking through to Paragon realm and took the phantom images technique, he really is worthy of respect” Gu Qing Shan said.

“But I still want to see it with my own eyes”

He flew and landed on the other high platform.

A jade tag appeared from the void of space.

——-It was the jade tag that described the treasure on this platform.

Gu Qing Shan scanned through it with his inner sight and learnt what was on here.

[Enemy-killing Sword technique]

[The technique contains are the crucial main points of the Enemy-killing Sword technique, a compilation of essential swordsmanship cultivation, exquisite and peerless]

Gu Qing Shan was stunned.

What?

It’s a sword technique, not the phantom images technique?

Does the Bygone Era humanity’s treasure vault not contain the phantom images technique?
