The second treasure that Yi Yun paid attention to was extremely special. Compared to the 999 Thousand Snow flying sabers, it was on the other end of the spectrum.
The Thousand Snow flying sabers were gorgeous and dazzling. They were created by the Artisan God and were accompanied by a top cultivation technique. There was no need to doubt their power. As for this treasure, it was simple and unadorned.
It was just a piece of dead wood, about the length of an adult's arm and the thickness of a thumb.
At first glance, this dead wood looked like the most common dead branches in the mountains, but if one paid a little more attention, one could immediately tell that it was different.
As Yi Yun looked at this piece of dead wood, he felt his mind gradually being attracted to it. If he looked at it a few more times, he would see countless scenes appear in front of his eyes. There was the passing of spring and the arrival of autumn, the withering of grass and the yellowing of leaves …
These seemed to be the memories of the dead wood.
Yi Yun immediately thought of the Dao Leaf he had obtained under the Dao Tree. This dead wood was somewhat similar to the Dao Leaf, but there were also differences. The Dao Leaf could wither and it could also be reborn. As for this dead wood, Yi Yun could only see death.
What a strange piece of dead wood. What sort of treasure was this?
Yi Yun looked at the introduction of the dead wood and upon seeing it, he was slightly alarmed.
This piece of dead wood's name was Death Soulwood. It was originally an ancient tree that had grown for an unknown period of time. One day, a Demon God died on the tree, and the demonic blood that flowed out from the Demon God splattered onto the ancient tree, corroding it.
After being corroded by the demonic blood, the ancient tree eventually lost its vitality, turning into a piece of dead wood.
This dead wood was obtained by the Pure Yang Sword Palace's owner. He sensed that the dead wood was extraordinary, and wanted to hire the Artisan God to forge the dead wood into an enchanted treasure.
The Pure Yang Sword Palace's owner believed that the Death Soulwood was stained with demonic blood, and that it was a manifestation of an ancient tree, so a treasure made from it would definitely be extraordinary.
However, he never expected that his close friend, the Artisan God, would only say one sentence after looking at the Death Soulwood for a long time, "Rotten wood cannot be carved."
The Artisan God did not want to forge the Death Soulwood, and instead, he returned it to the Pure Yang Sword Palace's owner.
The Pure Yang Sword Palace's owner was initially puzzled, but after meditating on the concept contained within the Death Soulwood, he believed that the Artisan God's words contained some philosophy. After some consideration, the Pure Yang Sword Palace's owner gave up on carving the dead wood.
Hence, the Death Soulwood was placed in the first level of Heavenly Construct Hall by the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner.
The Death Soulwood had an extraordinary origin. It was much more precious than many of the treasures on the first floor of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion. It was placed on the first floor because it was neither a weapon nor a transcendent artifact. It was very difficult to use to kill enemies.
However … this treasure that did not seem to have any offensive power was of special value in Yi Yun's eyes. To Yi Yun, its importance was in no way weaker than the Thousand Snow Domain.
After looking at the Thousand Snow Domain and the Death Soulwood, Yi Yun had basically decided on the two treasures. However, Yi Yun still finished looking at all the treasures on the first level.
Yi Yun originally believed that there would not be anything that tempted him, but just as Yi Yun was about to finish looking at all the treasures, he discovered something that moved him.
This was an array formation known as the God Confining Lock.
The core of the God Confining Lock was a palm-sized disk array. It was refined by an array master in the 12 Empyrean Heavens.
To use the God Confining Lock, seven experts of similar strength were needed to activate the array. Once the array was activated, it would be an inescapable net. If the person who set up the array was strong enough, it could even trap and kill Gods and Demons.
Yi Yun actually did not have much interest in this enchanted treasure that required many people to cooperate. It could not increase Yi Yun's strength, nor was it of much value. Yi Yun was not a sect master, so how could he easily find six powerful experts to cooperate with him?
But now, the situation was different. If he had this God Confining Lock array, the situation would be much better when he faced the Black-armored Demon God …
However, if he were to give up the Thousand Snow Domain and the Death Soulwood for this God Confining Lock … it seemed like the price was too great, so Yi Yun was obviously unwilling to do so.
There was no need to mention the Thousand Snow Domain. As an extremely powerful killing move, it was what Yi Yun was currently lacking. Yi Yun lacked offensive means.
As for the Death Soulwood, it contained an indescribable mystery. Yi Yun had a premonition that choosing the Death Soulwood would be of great help to his martial path in the future.
He did not want to give up either of them.
"Have you chosen?"
After Yi Yun spent four hours looking through all the treasures on the first level of Heavenly Construct Hall, the Sword Spirit asked Yi Yun.
The selection of treasures could also tell a person's mind. With so many treasures placed in front of them, it was easy to be dazzled, making it difficult to choose.
At times, warriors with insufficient minds might even give up the most suitable treasures to choose better treasures.
The Sword Spirit and the white-dressed youth were waiting to see how Yi Yun would choose.
This was the first time Yi Yun chose a treasure from Heavenly Construct Hall, so it was very important to him. The treasures in Heavenly Construct Hall, even if they were placed on the first level, were all extraordinary.
The treasures on the first level of Heavenly Construct Hall were considered basic, but basic items did not necessarily have low value.
"I've chosen. The first item I choose is … Thousand Snow Domain!"
Yi Yun said it without hesitation.
The Sword Spirit and the white-dressed youth looked each other in the eye when they heard this. They immediately frowned slightly. Thousand Snow Domain …
Of course, this was an extremely powerful killing move, but it was a flying saber array. The Sword Spirit and the white-dressed youth were worried that Yi Yun's knowledge would be too varied, resulting in a waste of time.
"The Thousand Snow Domain has extremely high requirements on the cultivator's mental strength and energy control. To perfectly use the Thousand Snow Domain, it requires a great deal of practice …"
The white-dressed youth said. He still wished for Yi Yun to focus on sword Dao. This was also the path that the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner took. Just sword Dao alone was enough for Yi Yun to ponder over.
"This junior obviously understands what senior is saying, but … this junior still wants to choose the Thousand Snow Domain."
Yi Yun had already made up his mind. Others might need to expend a great deal of time and energy to cultivate the Thousand Snow Domain, but Yi Yun had the Purple Crystal. Every one of the 999 Thousand Snow flying sabers had Origins energy, so it was effortless for Yi Yun to control them. How could he miss out on such a technique?
Furthermore, Yi Yun did not want to completely repeat the path of the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner. The Pure Yang Sword Palace owner was obviously powerful, but Yi Yun also had his own understanding of martial arts. He wanted to learn from the strengths of others, and finally walk a path that belonged to him. If not, he would forever follow behind others, living in their shadows.
"If that's the case, alright …" The Sword Spirit approved of Yi Yun's choice. "Then what's the second item? What do you choose?"
Yi Yun fell silent upon hearing the Sword Spirit's question. He seemed to be hesitating, but finally, Yi Yun said, "I choose the Death Soulwood!"
"Oh? Death Soulwood? "
