Chapter 104: Just a Treasure

Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Shangguan Hongtian demonstrated.

The Supreme Imperial Court had a total of two innate spiritual treasures, one called the Supreme Emperor Seal and the other named the Mountain River Brocade Map.

Now, he took out the Mountain River Brocade Map.

This was an innate spiritual treasure that could help people cultivate, extremely precious and crucial for the Supreme Empire.

But it didn’t matter anymore.

After the fall of the nation, innate spiritual treasures were just making clothes for others.

“It must work!”

Whether Shangguan Hongtian was saying this to Shangguan Huanling or to himself, who knew.

It must work!

However, Shangguan Huanling felt no psychological pressure and immediately began absorbing the Mountain River Brocade Map.

Just an innate spiritual treasure; in her previous life, she had swallowed more than one Celestial Lord’s artifact.

Crossing Dao Ninth Level!

Innate spiritual treasures truly were powerful.

“I need more.”

Shangguan Huanling spoke.

Master Danqing sighed lightly; the Mountain River Pagoda Sect actually had three innate spiritual treasures.

One was the Mountain River Pagoda, another the Purple Qi Heavenly Fire Cauldron, and the last was the Glazed Black Yellow Sword.

The Mountain River Pagoda symbolized the Mountain River Pagoda Sect and naturally couldn’t be refined by Shangguan Huanling. The Purple Qi Heavenly Fire Cauldron was the artifact forging treasure of the sect and also couldn’t be given.

That left only the Glazed Black Yellow Sword.

“Even if you absorb the Glazed Black Yellow Sword, you’ll only reach the first level of Crossing Tribulation. Will you be able to succeed in the tribulation?” Master Danqing couldn’t help but ask.

Mainly because he really felt heartache!

How precious were innate spiritual treasures?

Shangguan Huanling raised an eyebrow. “You actually doubt me?”

She formed seals with her hands, and the Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations secret method unfolded. Suddenly, her aura began to soar, and in the blink of an eye, she stepped into the Transcending Tribulation Realm, shooting straight up to the Fifth Heaven.

Such a technique was truly astonishing.

It could temporarily elevate one’s realm by so much!

Not only did she leap over a major boundary, but she also surged through five minor realms beyond that.

“If I enter the Transcending Tribulation Realm, I’ll be in a nearly invincible state; and if I succeed in the tribulation, I’ll be completely invincible!”

Shangguan Huanling said confidently.

She showcased her ability, leaving Master Danqing at a loss for words, sighing deeply.

He presented the Glazed Black Yellow Sword with both hands.

“Just an innate spiritual treasure. Once I grow, even the supreme treasures will seem trivial; at that time, I’ll gift each of you an imperial weapon, as long as you can lift it!”

Master Danqing’s expression remained unchanged.

In front of strong individuals, innate spiritual treasures were nothing; but that was one of the Mountain River Pagoda Sect’s protective treasures. Hearing such words made him feel sour inside.

Yet, he didn’t show it.

No, what he didn’t understand was, how could such a mindset belong to an emperor?

What kind of emperor has this mentality?

As the essence of the Glazed Black Yellow Sword was absorbed, she opened her eyes.

“Not enough, still not enough!”

Shangguan Hongtian and Master Danqing froze.

“The Supreme Emperor Seal is the symbol of the Supreme Imperial Court and really cannot be destroyed.” Shangguan Hongtian looked at Master Danqing with a pleading expression.

This thing was like the imperial seal!

It carried the hopes of the common people and the dragon energy of the Supreme Imperial Court.

Master Danqing…

“The Mountain River Pagoda is also a symbol!”

“What about the Purple Qi Heavenly Fire Cauldron?”

“The Purple Qi Heavenly Fire Cauldron is our sect’s first treasure for artifact forging; without this cauldron, how can we forge artifacts?” Master Danqing was a hundred percent unwilling.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

At this moment, the entire defensive city formation was swaying precariously.

In a life-and-death crisis, at a critical moment.

“Fellow Daoist!”

Shangguan Hongtian called out.

Master Danqing…

So annoying!

His heart ached dearly; he felt pain in his flesh, teeth, and liver.

He truly couldn’t bear to see the Purple Qi Heavenly Fire Cauldron be destroyed like this; what a waste!

How many spiritual treasures could one Purple Qi Heavenly Fire Cauldron forge?

“Fellow Daoist!”

“Here, take it!”

A cauldron the size of a palm was handed over by Master Danqing.

With this, Shangguan Huanling could finally break through to the Transcending Tribulation Realm, right?

Shangguan Huanling pouted. Talk about short-sighted—today’s investment could yield a thousandfold return in the future, what’s there to hesitate about?

She accepted the Purple Qi Heavenly Fire Cauldron and began to absorb it.

True Essence surged, and her Nascent Soul completely resembled Shangguan Huanling, stunningly beautiful like a fairy.

She was getting closer and closer to the Transcending Tribulation Realm.

Closer and closer.

Shangguan Hongtian and Master Danqing clenched their fists tightly.

Suddenly, their eyes widened.

“No! Don’t!”

Shangguan Hongtian’s voice changed, letting out a cry like a eunuch. At this moment, even an emperor felt his heart leap to his throat.

But it was too late.

Shangguan Huanling suddenly compressed her True Essence.

The realm that was once so close to the Transcending Tribulation Realm was now abruptly pushed back to the initial stage of the Ninth Level.

Master Danqing was dumbfounded.

Shangguan Hongtian clutched his chest, his breathing becoming rapid.

“What’s wrong?”

Shangguan Huanling was perplexed. Wasn’t it normal to suppress the realm before a breakthrough?

“You’ve exhausted all the treasures; how can you compress your realm? How do you plan to break through the Transcending Tribulation Realm?” Shangguan Hongtian shouted angrily.

“How could it be all used up? Father, isn’t there still the Supreme Emperor Seal? In the previous life, you passed away, and the Supreme Empire was destroyed. I didn’t absorb the Supreme Emperor Seal, leaving it as a memento.”

“Now the Supreme Empire won’t be destroyed; I can definitely swallow the Supreme Emperor Seal and break through the Transcending Tribulation Realm!” Shangguan Huanling said seriously.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

At this moment, the formation finally started to collapse and shatter.

Billowing black fog covered the sky.

“Hahaha, let’s take down two human factions together; what a thrill, hahaha…”

A domineering, cruel laughter echoed in their ears.

Shangguan Huanling’s expression changed drastically.

“Father, hurry! It’s almost too late!”

Shangguan Hongtian actually wanted to kill Shangguan Huanling at that moment.

You’re telling me you could have smoothly broken through, but you insisted on compressing your realm before the breakthrough? How much could compressing that little bit even enhance you?

“It must work for the Transcending Tribulation!”

“Oh, I have my calculations!”

Shangguan Huanling obtained the Supreme Emperor Seal, and the golden flowing light on the Supreme Emperor Seal rapidly merged into her body.

“What about the Mountain River Pagoda? I need that too, hurry!”

“No way, the Mountain River Pagoda is our sect’s symbol; it absolutely cannot be absorbed!”

“The sect is about to be wiped out; what’s the point of a symbol? It was destroyed in the last life, and if you don’t follow my lead in this life, you’ll face the same fate. Hurry up and give it to me!”

Shangguan Huanling shouted.

Master Danqing shook his head vigorously, “No way, absolutely not!”

Outside, the screams were deafening.

A large number of elite troops were slaughtered, and the palace’s formation was already under attack.

Shangguan Huanling’s eyes widened; without consulting Shangguan Hongtian and Master Danqing, she compressed her True Essence again.

And with all her might!

Because Shangguan Huanling hated this nagging behavior; she had already said to follow her for a future of a thousandfold return.

Just an innate spiritual treasure!

“Ling’er, are you crazy!”

Shangguan Hongtian saw Shangguan Huanling compress her True Essence again and was nearly driven mad.

“I’m not crazy; do you truly believe the Heavenly Tribulation is easy to pass? I must put myself in the strongest possible state!”

“Mountain River Pagoda, give it to me!”

Master Danqing’s eyes turned bloodshot; his fists clenched tightly. He absolutely needed his Mountain River Pagoda. What difference would one Mountain River Pagoda make?

Why must it be so crucial?

Ahhhh, this is driving me insane!
