The Azure Palace of the Immortals.
Back at a safe place, Mengqi could finally relax. In front of Primogenitor Lingbao and Jiang Zhiwei, he took out the small green tree, the Fiery Core of the Grand Sun, the Frost-eye Crystal, the Milky Way Sword, and the Sword of the Mystic Turtle. "They're all here," he said with a smile.
"Huh?" Primogenitor Lingbao was surprised to see the small green tree despite his cultivation, realm, and self-restraint. It was not because it carried the inheritance of one of the Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception, but because he was already mentally prepared for it.
He paused and said, "This small tree is not simple …"
Since even Primogenitor Lingbao said so, Mengqi was more confident in his judgment. He pondered and said, "When I first saw it, I thought it was a Heaven-grade item. Later, I thought about it carefully. Zhenwu Great Emperor left a curse on the other six treasures. Why didn't he leave the most precious one?"
"Unless Zhenwu Great Emperor's realm is high enough, he wouldn't be able to do anything to this small tree," Jiang Zhiwei suddenly said.
"Or the curse trap will be absorbed and dissolved by the small tree itself …" Primogenitor Lingbao said in a low voice. If what Jiang Zhiwei said was true, the value of the small tree was immeasurable. It was definitely not an ordinary Heaven-grade item. He found it hard to accept.
Thinking of the scene when the green light and aura rose, which was even more exaggerated than the appearance of the Primary Instruction of the Buddha's Palm, Mengqi said thoughtfully, "Zhenwu Great Emperor discovered two of his three Hidden Treasures. Although the Devil Buddha caused chaos in the world and the great changes in the world, the fact that this Hidden Treasure has survived to this day may be due to the fact that it contains the most precious items. Thus, it was set up the most securely and even opened up a small world for it …"
Primogenitor Lingbao withdrew his gaze and asked Mengqi in detail about what he saw when he entered the Hidden Treasures, hoping to find some clues.
After Mengqi explained the scene outside the main hall in detail, he smiled and said, "Because it was a 'reward' given by Zhenwu Great Emperor, I knew about the existence of the curse, so I didn't pay much attention to it when I entered. I only sensed it slightly and didn't pay much attention to it. If I couldn't confirm it, I would remove it one by one. The main purpose was to verify the authenticity of the treasures and prevent Zhenwu Great Emperor from hiding them."
"When I discovered that there was no Heaven-grade Weapon, my heart skipped a beat. That's not right. Could it be that Devil-rinsing Primogenitor is so stingy that he didn't even give me a Heaven-grade Weapon? Combined with the harvest from the previous two Hidden Treasures, I really suspected that the most valuable treasures were hidden in a secret place in the main hall. However, time waits for no man. In order to remove the curse and harvest the treasures, I naturally had to start with the most valuable ones to avoid accidents along the way.
"In the end, perhaps the Eight Nine Mysteries is powerful in sensing danger, or perhaps it was because I opened the door normally and the Restrictive Spell was enhanced, but when I sensed slightly while appraising the value of the treasures, I discovered that other than the small tree, there was a cold and dangerous power hidden in the other treasures. Moreover, the small tree could be perceived normally and didn't seem to be hiding other dangers. Therefore, I wanted to take the small tree and put it in my bag before I tried anything else."
Primogenitor Lingbao laughed. "That's what you should do. Even if Zhenwu Great Emperor told you the hand formula and method to remove the seal, you can't be careless. It's better to be safe than sorry. The ancient big powers are too far away from us. It's hard to guess their thoughts and character. If it weren't for the fact that Titanium Temple had caught the Primary Instruction of The Buddha's Palm in advance and had already sensed that there was no problem, the Dharmakayas would have waited for a while to perform a sensing check first."
The Titanium Temple itself possessed The Buddha's Palm and was also a Buddhist sect. They were equipped with magical powers such as the Heaven's Eye. It only took a few moments for them to confirm that there was no problem with the Withering Bodhi Tree.
Jiang Zhiwei chimed in, "Yes, after all, the Secret Chamber wasn't prepared for you. Zhenwu Great Emperor first set up the Three Great Secret Chambers and then hurriedly left for the Carefree Valley. He also left the Devil-rinsing Flag behind so that those who came later could get rid of their evil thoughts and obtain the Secret Chamber even later. The layout of the Secret Chamber was obviously not designed for you to obtain rewards. It was more focused on preventing outsiders from obtaining it. After breaking through the extremely solid Restrictive Spell, he even attached a curse to the treasures. It's truly impossible to guard against."
"Haha, things like experience are slowly accumulated. Fortunately, I've already paid more attention to this point when I encountered similar incidents." Mengqi glanced at Jiang Zhiwei. "It wasn't easy for your Sword Sect Grandmaster back then."
Previously, Jiang Zhiwei had reminded Mengqi that the treasures might be cursed. However, Mengqi had long known about this and did not think it was important.
Jiang Zhiwei smiled and sighed. "The Grandmaster's notes were vague. What we can be sure of is that he wasn't the only one who entered the Secret Chamber. There were enemies and friends, but in the end, the one who came out with the treasures was the weakest among them."
Primogenitor Lingbao glanced at the small green tree. "The Daoist thought about it carefully, but he couldn't remember anything about it. Moreover, two Earth Immortals killed each other without opening the door to the Secret Chamber. That's too strange …"
"Especially since one of the two Earth Immortals killed each other before seeing the treasures was the former successor of the Thunder God … Especially since he still had such a strong obsession after his death …" Mengqi added in a low voice.
"Maybe he knew something, or maybe they had a life-and-death feud …" Jiang Zhiwei speculated.
This matter was too far away from the present. The valuable remnants had long been taken away by the Cao family. Unable to come to a conclusion, the three of them decided to leave a message for "Qingyuan" Cao Xianzhi to see if he could provide any useful information.
"Should we take this small tree to the Dominator for an appraisal?" Mengqi suddenly suggested.
This was different from the wooden carving given to him by Mr. Lu in private. It was obtained when he completed a side mission. Logically speaking, the Dominator should know about it. Whether he gave it to the Dominator for appraisal or not would not affect the overall situation. Perhaps he could use this opportunity to test the "background" of the Dominator.
"Sure." Primogenitor Lingbao said in a low voice. "Judging from the fact that the evil thoughts still exist, Zhenwu Great Emperor lived until after the chaos of the Demonic Buddha. However, he never opened the Secret Chamber, nor did he return to the Decoy Tomb to kill the evil thoughts. This is really suspicious."
"Maybe there's something wrong with his Way of Immortality …" Mengqi blurted out.
This was a guess based on the condition of the Royal Advisor of Bomi!
The three of them were silent for a while. Then they flew to the jade pillar in the center of the Immortal-tracking Alley and put the small green tree in for appraisal.
Mengqi was nervous. He did not know what the Dominator would appraise this obviously unusual object of inheritance.
The voice of the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms was still loud and indifferent.
"The Supreme-wisdom Tree."
"The Supreme-wisdom Tree!" Mengqi, Primogenitor Lingbao, and Jiang Zhiwei looked at each other. This name was a bit scary!
"It carries the fifth move of the Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception, 'World of Dao'." The Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms stopped after saying this. He neither described it in detail nor gave a specific value!
Looking at the small green tree with three branches and nine leaves, Mengqi seemed to see a connected universe. He had a vague guess in his heart, but he did not say it out loud.
"The Supreme-wisdom Tree …" Primogenitor Lingbao looked at the small tree again and smiled bitterly. "The Daoist can't see it for now."
Hearing such a grand name, Mengqi was certainly not willing to exchange the right to use the small green tree for the Dharmakaya moves of Eight Nine. He smiled and said, "Primogenitor, can I use the opportunity of all members of the Immortals to comprehend the Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception in exchange for 'All Things to Void'?"
This was one of the Dharmakaya moves of Eight Nine Mysteries. Bodhi's Stare was extremely difficult to practice and could not be mastered in a short time. Mengqi did not consider it for the time being.
"Of course." Primogenitor Lingbao laughed. "As for this small tree, it's up to you whether you want to keep it safe in the Immortals or keep it with you."
Just now, Mengqi had been studying the precious tree for a while. It was useless to inject breath and strength into it. There was no sign of it being activated. He was a little depressed and said, "I'll leave it in the Immortals for a period of time so that everyone can comprehend it. I'm here for the task of Journey to the West."
This task involved the fragment of the Celestial Court. The Evil Spirit of Zhenwu said that the disappearance of the Ninth Heaven and the fall of the Celestial Court were related to the opportunity to achieve Tao. This small tree was also called the Supreme-wisdom Tree. It would be foolish for Mengqi not to bring it to the fragment to try his luck!
"The Daoist will seal it to prevent people from being blinded by greed and making unwise moves." Primogenitor Lingbao nodded. For him, it was good enough to comprehend and make a breakthrough. There was nothing magical about the Supreme-wisdom Tree at present, so he did not covet it.
After discussing the most important matters, Mengqi looked at Jiang Zhiwei, who was eager to comprehend it. He held back his laughter and said, "Don't rush. Let's split the rewards first."
He looked at Immortal Chonghe and said, "Primogenitor can choose first."
The most important thing was that the small green tree belonged to him. Primogenitor Lingbao had contributed a lot this time. Moreover, he was not related to Mengqi, so it was not the kind of relationship where there would be no grudge even if he did not take the rewards. For the sake of the future, Mengqi decided to let Primogenitor Lingbao choose first.
This was the simplest form of human relations. Sometimes, even parents and friends had to pay attention to this. After all, no one would help you without conditions!
With this cooperation and the rewards, it would be easy to ask Primogenitor Lingbao for help when completing the task of Acheron's remains in the future!
Primogenitor Lingbao was not modest. He glanced at the treasures and reached out to pick up the gourd. He opened the stopper and sniffed it. A trace of joy appeared on his face. "It really is the Xuanming Fate Elixir."
The Xuanming Fate Elixir was an ancient elixir. It was said to have the effect of regenerating flesh and bones. It could also prolong one's life by nearly ten thousand years. Even with the great changes of the world, it could still prolong one's life by more than two hundred years. In the Dominator, it was a Heavenly Weapon.
However, to Mengqi and Jiang Zhiwei, who had become Peerless Master Pros or were about to become Peerless Master Pros in their twenties, the elixir was not as valuable as the main material of a Heavenly Weapon. Chong He, on the other hand, was old and valued the elixir the most.
"Only one elixir. Hehe, it's enough for the Daoist to take it. In addition to the opportunity to comprehend the Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception, I've earned a lot this time." Primogenitor Lingbao did not bully the younger generation and did not choose again.
Mengqi nodded gratefully and turned to Jiang Zhiwei. "It's your turn."
Jiang Zhiwei glanced at it and lifted the Milky Way Sword. She smiled and said, "It should be able to be disassembled by the Dominator and use the appropriate parts to enhance my Sun-Penetrating Rainbow."
The Milky Way Sword sparkled like the reflection of the stars, bright and dreamy. After all, Jiang Zhiwei was a girl, so she naturally chose it between it and the Mystic Tortoise Sword.
"Only one?" Mengqi asked in surprise.
Jiang Zhiwei smiled and said, "I didn't do much this time, and you basically completed the serial tasks by yourself. To be able to take an Exquisite Precious Weapon and comprehend the Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception from time to time, I feel a little ashamed to accept it."
"How can I do that?" Mengqi frowned.
Jiang Zhiwei smiled and said with a straight face, "Do you want me to feel guilty and unable to get rid of it? Do you want me to become a demon in my heart?"
"Alright." Since Jiang Zhiwei had put it this way, Mengqi could only stop persuading her. Anyway, he had the main materials for the Divine Weapon, so he could lend them to her in times of danger!
The Ancient Space-breaching Talisman was an excellent tool for escaping. With the Mystic Tortoise Sword in hand, he had two sabers and two swords. The only problem was that the two swords were much better than the saber, but the sword art was not as good as the saber art … Mengqi put away the treasures one by one and planned to give them to the Dominator to appraise in case there were any special effects left.
He glanced at the Fiery Core of the Grand Sun and the Frost-eye Crystal. He couldn't help but squint and smile.
The Fiery Core of the Grand Sun and the heavy Oceanic Dominion Pearl complemented each other. The Frost-eye Crystal and Acheron's Hand Bone were both cold and water. The two main materials for the Divine Weapon were almost enough to make a Divine Weapon. If it wasn't for the fact that he had to complete a specific task, if it wasn't for the fact that Acheron's Hand Bone had the function of activating the Life-changing Sect, the former two as sabers and the latter as swords would be perfect!
