Following the Emperor's decision, a middle-aged prince quickly walked out from the main palace.
"Where are Zhou Tong of Stillwater Commandery, Eastcloud of Yuming Commandery, and Bluessun of Cangling Commandery?" The prince called out towards the thousands of Raindragon Guards in the plaza outside.
Everyone was in an uproar. Earlier, when they had been teleported down from Raindragon Mountain, they had communicated with each other. They all knew that the three people this prince called out were the three most powerful Void-level Fiendgods in their group.
Everyone stepped aside, allowing Zhou Tong, Eastcloud, and Bluessun to stand at the very front.
"I am King Prayer of the Grand Xia. On the orders of his Imperial Majesty, I have come to bring the three of you to the imperial treasury. Choose any divine ability you wish. Follow me!" King Prayer said.
Upon hearing these words, some of the Void-level Earth Immortals present felt endless regret. If they had known that they would be able to acquire such treasures after breaking through, they wouldn't have suppressed their power at all. They would've gone through the Celestial Tribulation and become Celestial Immortals long ago.
"Yes!" The three nodded, a hint of surprise and delight in their eyes.
They were all Raindragon Guards. How could they not know what supreme divine abilities the imperial treasury held? For an opportunity like this, they naturally had to choose the most powerful divine ability … the [Torch Dragon's Eye].
"The Emperor is actually so generous … it seems as though the storm of the Three Realms has frightened him, and he urgently needs to accumulate power to protect himself. The reason he opened the treasury to me is most likely to be to buy my loyalty and make me work for him!" Zhou Tong could already guess what the Grand Xia Emperor was thinking.
Soon, King Qi led the three of them to the treasury.
The imperial treasury was located on the sixth floor of the Skylight Palace.
"This place contains all of the abridged versions of the Daoist scriptures of the imperial Xia clan. You can choose any divine ability or secret art you wish. As long as it is available here, I can give it to you. But of course, you can only choose one!" King Qi pointed at the seemingly endless bookshelves, then laughed.
Zhou Tong, Eastcloud, and Bluessun all nodded.
Although they had long ago decided on which divine abilities to trade for, it wasn't easy for them to enter the imperial treasury. Naturally, they had to take a good look around. What if the Grand Xia Emperor hadn't left all of their treasures with the Raindragon Guards? What if there was a divine ability even more powerful than the [Torch Dragon's Eye]?
The three of them quickly arrived at the most conspicuous table made of black jade in front of them.
On this table were abridged versions of the best divine abilities and secret arts. The group immediately started browsing through them.
Universe Arrow, Formless Phantom Shadow, Fire Rainbow Evasion …
One after another, divine abilities and secret techniques were displayed in front of the three of them. There was no specific cultivation method on the abridged books, only the cultivation conditions of these divine abilities and the general description of the effects after cultivation.
Of course, there were also conditions for obtaining these sacred arts. However, these conditions were basically for the members of the royal family of the Grand Xia Dynasty to see. Zhou Tong and the others could choose as they pleased.
After looking at it for a long time, they still couldn't find a cultivation method that could surpass the Torch Dragon's Eye. In the end, the three of them decided to choose the Torch Dragon's Eye.
"The heritage of the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty is still not enough. Compared to the Bodhi in the original work, they are far inferior." Zhou Tong was a little speechless. The quantity and quality of the divine abilities that the Bodhi had were truly terrifying. The divine abilities and secret techniques that he casually took out were all on the same level as the Torch Dragon's Eye.
On the other hand, the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty only had the Torch Dragon's Eye. Moreover, this Torch Dragon's Eye was only the first half and could only be cultivated up to the Void Return Realm. As for the Heavenly God and True God level cultivation methods, they didn't have any at all.
"Therefore, the reason why the Bodhi would teach disciples is because he has the most profound heritage! He only needs to guide his own disciples. He can satisfy any aspect. However, the other Daozu don't have such a heritage, "Zhou Tong thought to himself.
After choosing the divine abilities, Prince Qi immediately led Zhou Tong and the others into a stone room. There were floating jade slips everywhere. Prince Qi pointed at a jade slip not far away. It was the divine ability of the Torch Dragon's Eye.
"Zhou Tong, you go first!" Prince Qi looked at Zhou Tong first.
The nearby Eastcloud and Bluesun didn't object. Zhou Tong was the strongest amongst them, and he had broken through using the number one Fiendgod Body Refining technique, the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens]. The two of them were slightly weaker.
Soon, Zhou Tong grabbed the jade slip. A huge amount of information instantly entered his mind, allowing him to know the true cultivation method of the Torch Dragon's Eye and the terrifying aspects of this divine ability.
According to the legends, the Torch Dragon opened its eyes to see the day and closed its eyes to see the night. This divine ability also had some similarities. However, this kind of opening and closing of eyes didn't affect the specific world, but the person!
If an ordinary cultivator who cultivated the Torch Dragon's Eye only needed to look at you, the other party would only need to release a little bit of power to immediately make the other party's vision turn white. Then, everything would turn pitch-black and they wouldn't be able to see anything.
This was an eye-technique that could cause blindness. Some of the weaker ones might even be blinded in an instant.
Of course, the Torch Dragon's Eye's attack power was very weak. This was because, after cultivating to a certain level, one's eyes could be regenerated at will. In addition, in battle, everyone relied on their divine sense, not their vision.
The truly terrifying aspect of this divine ability was its auxiliary effects. The Torch Dragon illuminated the world. Upon mastering this divine ability, one could observe the Nine Heavens above and the Nine Underworlds below. Every blade of grass and every tree in the world would be visible to one's eyes.
Of course, this divine ability was the most beneficial to Zhou Tong, because he was the only one present who could be considered a divine archer.
A short while later, everyone received the legacy of the Torch Dragon's Eye divine ability.
"All of you, follow me!" After leading them out of the treasury, Prince Qi immediately left the Skylight Palace and headed towards Goddragon Mountain.
After ascending Goddragon Mountain, Prince Qi led them all upwards. Soon, they arrived at a place nine thousand kilometers above Goddragon Mountain. He said, "You all know that this opportunity was prepared for Fiendgods below the Void-level and Immortal cultivators below the Celestial Immortal level. Since you've broken through, you naturally can't be like the other Raindragon Guards. "
"Right now, you can be considered as Raindragon Guards directly subordinate to His Imperial Majesty. In the future, all you need to do is follow His Imperial Majesty's orders."
"Next, this will be your residence." As he spoke, Prince Qi pointed at the three Immortal's Caves on the nearby mountain peak. "Normally, you can live and cultivate here!"
The three of them naturally weren't displeased.
They had just received the Torch Dragon's Eye divine ability. Naturally, they didn't want to be together with the other Raindragon Guards.
In addition, this place was so high up that it was the perfect place to cultivate the Torch Dragon's Eye.
The Torch Dragon's Eye required harvesting the Nine Heavens Aurora to refine the Torch Dragon's Eye. The higher up the mountain, the easier it would be to harvest the Nine Heavens Aurora, and the faster it would be to cultivate this divine ability.
