"Are you sure you want to choose the Death Soulwood?" The white-dressed youth extended his hand and beckoned. A gray stream of light shot out from the pyramid and landed in his hand.
This stream of light condensed into the Death Soulwood as it floated an inch above the youth's palm.
"Yes." Yi Yun nodded.
The white-dressed youth and the Sword Spirit were somewhat surprised. Although the Death Soulwood was valuable, it was not an enchanted treasure. From this aspect, its practical value was not high. It was very difficult to directly raise Yi Yun's strength.
"Could it be that you fancy the concept contained within the Death Soulwood?"
The Sword Spirit asked. The concept contained within the Death Soulwood was indescribable. The Artisan God's evaluation of "rotten wood cannot be carved" was because if the Death Soulwood was used for artifact refinement, it might destroy the concept within the Death Soulwood, making the Artisan God feel that it was a waste.
And unfortunately, the Artisan God did not have a good understanding of the concept contained within the Death Soulwood. He could not use it during artifact refinement.
"This junior has indeed gained some insight into this."
As Yi Yun looked at the Death Soulwood, the scenes of him meditating under the Dao Tree surfaced in his mind once again. The leaves germinating, growing, withering, the grass blooming …
He reached out his hand to grab the Death Soulwood and felt his life force freeze, as if he was dead.
This feeling did not make Yi Yun panic. Instead, he carefully sensed the patterns within the Death Soulwood, recalling the feeling of his life force freezing bit by bit.
The Death Soulwood was completely different from the Dao Leaf that Yi Yun had previously obtained.
The Dao Leaf came from a Dao Tree that existed before the primordial times. Although it contained exquisite laws, these laws were all-encompassing, making it difficult for Yi Yun to improve by leaps and bounds in a particular law. As for this Death Soulwood, it only contained the concepts of death and withering.
Upon seeing Yi Yun's reaction, the Sword Spirit was slightly surprised. "You are still so calm despite being immersed in the near-death concept of the Death Soulwood. I can tell that you indeed have a deep understanding of the laws it contains. It is indeed suitable for you."
Treasures that could be used for enlightenment were very precious.
Although the Death Soulwood was not an enchanted treasure, if Yi Yun were to gain any insight from it, it would be far more valuable than an enchanted treasure. Enchanted treasures were, after all, external objects. One's own strength was the most fundamental.
Yi Yun had chosen the Thousand Snow Domain and the Death Soulwood. It could be said that he had chosen the two most suitable treasures in the Heavenly Construct Hall. Furthermore, the value of the two treasures was extraordinary.
"Thank you, seniors."
After obtaining two treasures and improving his nomological understanding, Yi Yun thanked the Sword Spirit and the white-dressed youth with a bow.
The youth in white said, "You fought for it yourself. It's the inheritance left by Master. We are just guardians. However, you have only explored a small part of the Sword Palace. In the deeper parts of the Sword Palace, there are restrictions left by Master. If you can cultivate Sword Heart before you are 100 years old, then you can enter the deeper parts of the Sword Palace."
As an immortal abode left behind by a peerless expert of the ancient 12 Empyrean Heavens, it was obviously not easy to control the Pure Yang Sword Palace. Yi Yun's present strength was far from being able to control the Pure Yang Sword Palace. Yi Yun knew this very well.
"Seniors, this junior would like to know if the amount of treasures this junior can take from the Heavenly Construct Hall is a rule set by the Sword Palace's owner?"
When Yi Yun asked this question, the Sword Spirit and the youth in white pricked up their eyebrows. From what he said, it sounded like Yi Yun was not satisfied with just two treasures.
"Why? Do you think there aren't enough treasures? " The youth in white said directly, "Taking one or two treasures from the Heavenly Construct Hall is indeed a rule set by Master himself."
"By setting such a rule, it is firstly to tell the successors who enter the Sword Palace that they cannot rely on external objects. Their own strength is fundamental. Having too many external objects will instead affect their martial arts cultivation! There is also another consideration. It might not be pleasant to say it out loud, but for successors who enter the Sword Palace, even if their talent is recognized, their character is another matter. Furthermore, the path of martial arts is fraught with danger. It is not rare for one to perish midway. Master only has so many treasures. If it is all taken by one person, and if that successor betrays the sect or perishes midway, then these treasures will be gone. There will be nothing left for future successors. "
Upon hearing the youth in white's words, Yi Yun nodded. Character and perishing midway were factors that the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner had to consider back then. Hence, it was reasonable to set such a rule!
"Seniors, rest assured. Since it is a rule set by the Sword Palace owner, this junior will not go overboard and make things difficult for the two of you. However, there is a treasure in the Heavenly Construct Hall that is very important to this junior. This junior wishes to take it away, but not to take it for himself, but to borrow it."
"This junior wishes to borrow an array formation. It requires the cooperation of many people to activate it, so this junior will not rely on external objects. In addition, this junior swears that he will return the item within three years. As such, there will not be a second situation. What do the two Seniors think?"
Yi Yun had long taken a fancy to the God Confining Lock array. This array could be used to deal with the Black-armored Demon God, but for Yi Yun, it could only be used once or twice in the final battle. After that, it would be useless.
It was not worth it to waste a choice just to use it once or twice.
And if he could borrow it and return it later, it would be the best of both worlds.
Upon hearing Yi Yun's request, the youth in white and the Sword Spirit were somewhat surprised. Speaking of which, if it was just borrowing the array formation, then the two situations that the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner was worried about did not exist.
"The array formation you are talking about should be the God Confining Lock array, right?"
The Sword Spirit asked. Yi Yun nodded. There were not many arrays in the first level of the Heavenly Construct Hall, so it was easy to guess what he wanted.
"Using it to deal with the seven Demon Disciples in the eternal whirlpool?"
The Sword Spirit also knew that the seven Demon Disciples had appeared, but to them, the survival of the Tian Yuan world was not important.
"That's right!" Yi Yun nodded. Upon saying this, he added, "Seniors, if this junior did not guess wrongly, the existence sealed beneath the God Burial Abyss' eternal whirlpool should be related to the Sword Palace owner, right?"
Yi Yun said the guess he had always had in mind.
In the entire Tian Yuan world, probably only the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner had the same strength as the Eye of Destruction suppressed beneath the eternal whirlpool.
Then, the mighty figure that sealed the Eye of Destruction was very likely the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner.
As Yi Yun spoke, he was constantly paying attention to the Sword Spirit's and the youth's reactions. Their expressions did not change, and they remained calm as usual.
"You guessed correctly. The existence in the eternal whirlpool is indeed closely related to Master." Upon saying this, the youth in white sighed. "If not for that existence, Master would not have died so early …"
"Oh?" Upon hearing the youth in white's wistful words, Yi Yun was slightly alarmed.
At this moment, the Sword Spirit sighed and said, "At the beginning of the formation of the 12 Empyrean Heavens' Universe, the Ancestor Gods that ruled over the Heavenly Dao and this world were born from the Chaos. They ruled over everything in the Universe."
"However, there were many living beings in this Universe. They had an indescribable past with the Ancestor Gods. In short, in ancient times, the experts among the Sacred Spirits wanted to rule over their fates, so they waged a war with the Ancestor Gods."
"The war in ancient times was earth-shattering. The participants were not limited to my Master alone. There were many peerless experts from the 12 Empyrean Heavens. Everyone worked together and eventually defeated the Ancestor Gods that ruled over the world, establishing a new order."
"And amongst these Ancestor Gods, the strongest was the King of Gods. He had an undying body and was impossible to kill. Finally, the experts of the 12 Empyrean Heavens could only seal the King of Gods' body in pieces."
"Back then, they chose 33 Great Worlds to be used as vessels to seal the King of Gods."
"The King of Gods' body was also split into 33 parts. They were: eyes, ears, mouth, nose, head, hands, feet, forearms, upper arms, thighs, calves, organs, brain, spinal cord and torso."
"The 33 parts were sealed in the 33 Great Worlds. Each world's seal was personally set up by an ancient mighty figure. It was suppressed by an enchanted treasure made from a divine item!"
"And the Tian Yuan world's continent itself was a great treasure that suppressed the King of Gods' body. And the part that was suppressed was the God's right eye!"
"The Ancestor God's left eye was the Eye of Life, while the right eye was the Eye of Destruction."
"This Eye of Destruction was the gigantic eyeball that appeared in the eternal whirlpool!"
