Chapter 3240: Entering God’s Secret Treasure

‘Gongsun Jing… No wonder I found his name familiar. I’ve met someone with the same name in the past…’ When Su Li had introduced Gongsun Jing to him earlier, Duan Ling Tian had found the name rather familiar. However, he could not recall where he had heard the name. As they were walking toward the Ning Dragons, he finally remembered when he had heard the name.

Previously, when Duan Ling Tian was in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, which was located in the Southern Heaven Territory’s Profound Nether Mansion in the Spirit Overarching Heaven, he had killed a disciple from the Azuregreen Mansion whose name was also Gongsun Jing.

Meanwhile, upon seeing Duan Ling Tian, Su Li, and Huan’er walking toward the entrance of God’s Secret Treasure, Gongsun Jin from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect’s Yellow Thearch Progeny finally regained his senses. He hurried after Duan Ling Tian and the others. Since the trio was much stronger than him, he was confident they would not take such huge risks if they were not confident. Therefore, he did not hesitate to join them.

Meanwhile, everyone was confused when they saw the quartet walking toward the Ning Dragons.

“What are they doing?”

“They’re going to enter God’s Secret Treasure?”

“Are they not afraid of death?”

The grassroots prodigies and the young prodigies from grade-one forces were bewildered by the quartet’s actions. Their hearts thumped wildly in their chests as they watched the quartet approach the Ning Dragons. Most of them were certain the quartet would definitely die if they drew any closer to the Ning Dragons.

Meanwhile, Yun Ye and the other prodigies from the Thousand Hands Devil Sect watched with malicious smiles on their faces.

Yun Ye said gloatingly, “Seeking death!”

On the other hand, similar to the others, Yu Tian Xing and the prodigies from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect were bewildered.

When Yu Tian Xing recovered his senses, he barked, “Su Li, what are you doing?!”

Although Yu Tian Xing knew he would become the most outstanding young prodigy in the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect if Su Li or Duan Ling Tian died, he did not want to attain that title through such means. He had his pride after all. Moreover, Su Li and Duan Ling Tian would greatly benefit the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect. As a loyal member of the sect, how could he bear to watch the duo throw their lives away in vain? Moreover, even Gongsun Jing decided to go with the trio! It was not hard to figure out that Su Li had invited Gongsun Jing to join them since Su Li had spoken to Gongsun Jin just before he made his way to the Ning Dragons.

Su Li only turned to look at Yu Tian Xing for a moment before he continued walking toward the Ning Dragons.

Everyone watched as the quartet approached the Ning Dragons. They were certain the quartet was going to die soon. However, in the next moment, their jaws dropped when they saw Duan Ling Tian and the others walked past the Ning Dragons, pushed the door open, and entered God’s Secret Treasure. It was as though they were invisible to the Ning Dragons!

‘It… It works?’ Gongsun Jing sighed in relief as he safely flew past the Ning Dragons that showed no signs of attacking them.

Meanwhile, the door was left wide open after the quartet entered God’s Secret Realm. Only a gray and boundless void could be seen. The visibility was so bad that as soon as Duan Ling Tian and the others entered, the onlookers could no longer see them.

“What… What’s going on?”

“Are the two Ning Dragons blind?”

“How did they get past the Ning Dragons? Did they use some techniques? The Ning Dragons seem oblivious to them!”

The onlookers were naturally shocked.

“What happened?” Baili Hong Fei asked in disbelief. He would not have believed this if he did not witness it with his eyes.

“Is it possible that the Ning Dragons would no longer attack those who try to enter God’s Secret Treasure now?” A grassroots prodigy hesitated for a moment before he cautiously approached the Ning Dragons. However, as soon as he stepped within the range of the Ning Dragons, he was instantly killed by the Ning Dragons.

With this, the onlookers confirmed Duan Ling Tian and the others must have used some technique to get past the Ning Dragons.

With this serving as an example, many people began to use Celestial Talismans that could conceal one’s aura or grant one invisibility to get past the Ning Dragons. Alas, it was all futile.

Even Feng Qi Qi who used an Invisibility Talisman that was undetectable by Celestial Emperors failed to get past the Ning Dragons. In fact, she even sustained mild injuries as a result of her actions.

Meanwhile, some prodigies from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect grew dissatisfied.

“How did they get past the Ning Dragons?”

“Why didn’t they bring us with them?”

Yu Tian Xing calmly replied, “Perhaps, there’s a limit to the number of people they can bring with them. Although I don’t have many interactions with Su Li, I know he’s not a selfish person. If he’s selfish, my senior uncle wouldn’t value him so much. Think about it… If he’s selfish, why would he bring Gongsun Jing with him? They’re mere acquaintances at best…”

A prodigy from the Thousand Tribulation Sword Sect’s Profound River Progeny said in a lowered voice, “But… Senior Tian Xing, he brought Gongsun Jing with him instead of bringing you with him! What does that mean? Does he think you can’t compare to Gongsun Jin?”

Yu Tian Xing replied, “I’m sure he has his reasons…”

…

On the other side of the entrance of God’s Secret Treasure.

After passing through the door, Duan Ling Tian and the others found themselves shrouded by a cloud of fog. They followed a dim light up ahead that eventually led them to a vast world. However, the world was in ruins.

‘This is the remnant of a destroyed Realm of Gods?’ Duan Ling Tian could sense the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings. He could tell it was much richer and purer than the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in Devata Realms.

“Brother Ling Tian, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here… is different.” Huan’er had also discovered the difference in the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here.

Similarly, Su Li and Gongsun Jing also sensed the superiority of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here.

The quartet was so shocked by this discovery that it took them fifteen minutes to recover from the shock.

“Duan Ling Tian, Su Li, let’s move separately to search for fortuitous encounters,” Gongsun Jing said before he bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian and Su Li and quickly left. He knew there was no danger here since all living things and Formations were destroyed along with this Realm of Gods.

Su Li frowned while Duan Ling Tian only faintly smiled as they watched Gongsun Jing leave in a hurry.

Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly, “I guess he’s worried he won’t be able to gain anything if he stays with us…”

“If that’s the case, then he’s really shortsighted,” Su Li said as he shook his head.

“Let’s go.” Duan Ling Tian beckoned Huan’er and Su Li over before they began to explore the remnant of the Realm of Gods.

To Su Li, it seemed as though they were wandering aimlessly. However, that was, naturally, not the case.

The voice of Huang’er, the soul of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind at this moment. “1,000 meters ahead.”

Huang’er was leading Duan Ling Tian to the nearest Devata Artifact.

Following Huang’er’s directions, Duan Ling Tian finally came to a stop above the ruins of what seemed to be a palace. There were things among the rubble and debris that could only be found in a palace.

Su Li was confused when he saw Duan Ling Tian suddenly stopping in his tracks.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian pointed in a certain direction and said, “Su Li, have a look over there. There should be a sword buried 30 meters deep…”

“A sword?” Although Su Li did not know how Duan Ling Tian was privy to such things, his eyes lit up immediately when he heard that a sword was buried there. After all, how could a sword in the remnant of a Realm of Gods be ordinary? Even if the sword was not a Devata Artifact, it would be an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon at least.

Swoosh!

Although it had been a long time since Su Li saw Duan Ling Tian, his trust in Duan Ling Tian remained unconditional. He knew seemingly impossible miracles were possible with Duan Ling Tian around. For example, he thought they would have to wait for a month before entering God’s Secret Treasure. However, they easily entered with Huan’er’s help.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Su Li seemed to transform into a sword as he flew toward the direction Duan Ling Tian pointed out to him. As he charged into the debris and rubble, he stirred up a commotion immediately.

It did not take long before Su Li returned to Duan Ling Tian’s side with a strange sword in hand.

The sword emitted a rather evil aura, and it was half black and half red.

Huang’er’s voice promptly rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. “This is a mediocre Devata Artifact, and its soul has been destroyed. With his strength, when he wields the sword, the sword’s strength would be comparable to an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. If this sword is pitted against an Emperor Grade Celestial Sword, he would definitely be able to break the Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon into two. Once he becomes a Celestial Emperor, the sword’s strength would be at the early stage of a Devata Artifact…”

After listening to Huang’er’s explanation, he conveyed the words to Su Li.

“A mediocre Devata Artifact?” Su Li was rather fond of the sword. However, when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, he quickly handed the sword to Duan Ling Tian. “Duan Ling Tian, since you discovered the sword, it belongs to you!”

“Please take it. There’s no need to be so courteous with me.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head and gently refused Su Li with a smile. “Don’t worry… None of us will lack Devata Artifacts if we continue to explore this place.”

At this moment, Su Li who had been wondering how Duan Ling Tian had accurately located the sword inhaled deeply before he asked, “Duan Ling Tian, how did you know there’s a sword there?”
