Divine Brilliance

Although the “Cloud Continent” in the tomb was a miniaturized version, it was still extremely wide and vast.

Zong Shou and the few of them walked for 2 hours and they only managed to walk from the center to the south side of the cloud continent. They were 60 miles away from where they entered.

Zong Shou and the others could feel a slight chill on their bodies. There were thin layers of ice that appeared on the ground.

A look of joy appeared in Zong Shou’s eyes. As expected, a moment later along with those 4 people entering, the ice layer became thicker and thicker.

For some reason, the surrounding heaven and earth’s spiritual energy formed an empty region at this spot.

Zong Shou increased his speed and a moment later, he saw a pure black colored pearl hanging high above this area.

It was the center of this ice layer. Moreover, the space around the black colored pearl seemed to be collapsing.

The surrounding area was extremely bright, only nearby here it was slightly darker.

Delight appeared on Zong Shou’s face once more. This was the item! The extreme dark chill energy pearl of legends!

He had never seen such a thing in the game, but there were some records by some cultivators.

Just by feeling the extreme yin energy and the thickness of it, it was a natural spiritual item that was formed after 13 thousand years.

Similar to that blazing glass pearl, they were rare earth grade treasures.

Although the area around the pearl was really cold and it had a “chill” word in its name, it wasn’t given out by the pearl. The area’s heat surrounding was absorbed by this pearl.

Roughly 17 years later, after the tomb appeared in the world, hundreds of celestial realm experts rushed over to snatch the treasures of the tomb. Naturally, they found out about the existence of this item too.

After a large battle, the tomb was destroyed. The pearl also totally disappeared. No one knew which person had obtained it.

This spiritual pearl was what he felt was the most suitable to be what his yin and yang dharma relied on.

The extreme dark chill energy pearl could absorb the spiritual energy of the surrounding thousand feet. It could even absorb light and temperature. Whereas the blazing flame pearl was born in the fire vein, filled with shocking heat and it was pretty much burning at every moment, giving off heat.

It was a great fit for this great sun yin and yang dharma. In the future, he could go a step further, evolving it into the next level white hole and blackhole.

If he couldn’t find the item here, then he could only search for others to replace. Or maybe in the future, he would purchase them from other worlds which would take up more time of his.

This item could absorb essence energy and true qi which was why Zong Shou didn’t dare to touch it with his hand. Taking out a jade bottle, suspending it in front of his body before he made a hand sign from far away.

It caused this ownerless spiritual item to fly over and fall into the bottle.

With this item at hand, his trip to the shihuang tomb was complete. Zong Shou relaxed. On the way back he looked around casually.

However, the result made him extremely conflicted. He coveted it so much that he was about to drool, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The precious items in this place were all scattered in this miniaturized cloud continent, they were valuable.

Zong Shou personally saw 4 stone mountains made out of totally grade 9 mind stones. And also 4 which were made from grade 9 beast crystals. Their value was no less than a billion.

And these were one of those with the lowest value. Pretty much each item was spiritual artifacts that celestial path experts wanted.

Compared to these treasures, Zong Shou, who was pleased about his riches, was not scum. If he could obtain those 4 mind stone mountains, he wouldn’t have to care about the spending for Gantian Mountain for a few hundred years.

No wonder, 17 years later, a total of 30 celestial realm experts had fallen around the tomb.

Just as he was dazzled, Zong Shou suddenly heard Chuxue exclaim, “Young master, what is that?”

They all followed Chuxue’s gaze.

There was a golden lotus floating in the middle of a silver-colored lake.

That lake didn’t have any water, it was all this silver-colored mercury. Who knows when, but a golden colored lotus was born.

Zong Shou’s expression also changed. Following which he took in a deep breath.

“It is a ganli purple gold lotus!”

His first thought was why was there such an item in this shihuang tomb?

Legend had it that it could only form where wild energy was abundant and also had intense killing energy.

This shihuang tomb did indeed not lack the last condition. Only the front one, the wild energy here wasn’t much.

Out of all the spiritual items in the tomb, this couldn’t be considered precious. However coincidentally the few people could use it. The lotus leaves of the ganli purple gold lotus could be used to craft spiritual weapons and magical weapons. What was most important was the lotus seed. The cloud world cultivators all recognized it as the best spiritual item to train the bones and the body, In terms of effects, it was even stronger than that muscle growing dewdrop that Hanfang had given him.

As the spiritual formation restrictions were changing constantly. The route that Zong Shou chose to return from and the one he returned from was largely different. He didn’t expect that he would bump into such an item.

He looked all about and Zong Shou knew that this item was also naturally formed like the extreme darkness chill pearl.

However different from the latter, this ganli purple gold lotus was at the border of a spiritual formation.

Observing closely for a moment, Zong Shou could only laugh awkwardly. He had already given up on obtaining this item.

Although there weren’t any terracotta warriors protecting, obtaining the lotus without triggering the formation was impossible.

Shaking his head, Zong Shou was right about to leave. However, in the next instant, he saw a black shadow suddenly rush over.

Its speed was quick, arriving in just a moment. However, it didn’t dare to get close to Zong Shou and the others. It only guarded near to the lotus, on high alert as it looked over. Its bloody mouth opened wide as it gave out threatening roars. It didn’t have a physical body, its shape was illusionary as it floated above the silver mercury.

“This is the black qilin beast?”

Zong Shou halted in his tracks, looking over in shock. Only to see that black shadow was like a leopard but it wasn’t a leopard, like a tiger but it wasn’t a tiger. Its body giving out a black mist. Pretty much all the dirt it touched showed signs of turning into dust.

Zong Shou took a closer look. The area surrounding this lake did, in fact, all turn into dust and sand.

Legend had it that there were numerous types of qilin. Most of them represented prosperity and often when they appeared they could give the land a bountiful harvest. This was because the qilin had the natural ability to cause the land to be fertile and help to grow the power of the land.

However, only the black qilin was different. Everywhere it passed the earth would lose its strength, turning into dust. It would snatch the terra element spiritual energy. This was why during the cloud desolate era humans saw it as inauspicious beasts, the sign of bad luck. Every time one appeared, disaster would fall.

This black qilin beast had the bloodline of that black qilin.

For some reason, it had lost its body and transformed into a grade 7 beast soul. Who knows when it had entered. It was guarding here to borrow the power of the lotus to form its body once more.

Unfortunately, although the golden lotus was already matured, looking at it, many lotus seeds have already formed. But this black qilin seemed to be intelligent and wouldn’t easily trigger the spiritual restrictions here.

Zong Shou’s expression was dark and uncertain. If it was just one ganli purple gold lotus then forget it. Although the lotus was precious, he cared about his life more.

However, he had to care about this black qilin beast. If he missed this one who knows when would he be able to meet another beast that had the bloodline of the black qilin.

Unfortunately, although Zong Shou was confident in beating it, and that this beast was not related to the shihuang tomb, he didn’t dare to fight here.

As he came from the future, he was clear about the dangers of the tomb. If there was slight movement and the restrictions were activated, the 4 of them would die here!

His gaze fluctuated for a moment before he left without hesitation. In just 8 minutes they returned to where that cave was at.

The 4 of them all rose into the air. When they were about to leave from the top they shockingly realized that the hole they dug was a little smaller. Even the spiritual formation that was being broken open was slowly repairing.

Zong Shou didn’t bother at all. After flying out of that 20 thousand feet deep hole, he threw huge amounts of mind stones down. It seemed like it was without any pattern. But an hour later a spiritual formation that used up a lot of resources had appeared on this dune. He waved his sleeves and Hanxi charged out.

However, when Zong Shou tied a small heaven and earth bag to its body and sent his intent in, he couldn’t make it move.

His ant queen was resisting the spiritual contract, forcefully stopping itself on the ground.

Zong Shou was startled and then he smiled, “If you can take that thing out, the 12 ganli purple gold lotus leaves are all yours. Along with 3 seeds…”

Only then did Hanxi’s eyes light up, it turned into a white light and charged into the hole.

A short moment later, just as Zong Shou was trying his best to maintain the formation, the entire dune started to shake, like the heaven and earth were turning on its head.

Following which Hanxi turned into a white light and charged out of the hole. Following which was a black shadow that was in a haggard state, its body was incomplete. Behind these 2 chased several green and blue short dagger axes.

In just a moment these dagger axes crashed into the spiritual formation that Zong Shou had set up. Instantly, the area shook once more, dust and sand flying.

All the flying dust fell downwards and those green and blue short dagger axes disappeared.

Hanxi had flown to a safe position, whereas that black qilin beast’s body was not complete, it couldn’t even maintain its shape.

Zong Shou cast out several spells to bind it, slowly binding it into a pure grade 7 soul stone. His eyes filled with joy. Out of the 5 spirits, this was the rarest qilin bloodline and he had already found one with it. That black qilin could also be strengthened a step further by this. What was left was the green dragon spirit…
