One of the most valuable resources in the Ancient Desolate Galaxy was the Spiritual Heavenly Star Pearl. Each pearl needed thousands of years to form. A cultivator could carry the star pearl with him. If the cultivator managed to cultivate it into a magic treasure, he could turn his magic item from the gestation level to the metaplasia level. The star pearl was able to gather more nourishing spiritual energy and was an extremely useful choice for one's cultivation. One hundred of them were given as part of the betrothal gift.

Another valuable resource in the Ancient Desolate Galaxy, the Starry Sea Heavenly Gravel. Each gravel was very difficult to obtain. The gravel was also another good item for cultivating magic items, especially in the production of cauldrons. The gravel aided in increasing the quality of the magic items. Ten cups of gravel were given as part of the betrothal gift. Although they seemed very little, adding them up could allow one to form a castle.

In the process of cultivating medicinal herbs, adding the gravel could also increase the success rate of cultivation.

Even in the past, such a quantity of Starry Sea Heavenly Gravel was worth an astronomical figure.

With the number of Starry Sea Heavenly Gravel given this time, it's enough to be split among the Gu Empire's successors. Everyone would have a share and there would even be leftovers.

Besides the Spiritual Heavenly Star Pearl and Starry Sea Heavenly Gravel, there was something even more valuable. It was the most valuable resource in the Ancient Desolate Galaxy - star skulls that were produced from the star tomb. Ten pieces of star skulls were included in the betrothal gift.

Although star skulls were more useful for demons, they were still very handy for humans.

Although the Divine Lands and Barren Expanses were at odds, there were still exchanges between both worlds. Even if the Gu Empire had no use for these star skulls, they could still exchange them for other beneficial items with the Barren Expanses.

While the other sects, including the Gu Empire, could enter the Starry Sea with the Celestial Sect of Wonders' permission, how could they compare to the Celestial Sect of Wonders in terms of gathering resources, since the Celestial Sect of Wonders controlled four gates to the Starry Sea?

These were only the items from the Starry Sea. Besides treasures from the Starry Sea, there were also gifts from the Ying Sea, such as the Curled Condensed Crystal and the Purplish Condensed Dew.

There was the Pearl of Scenery, which was extremely valuable. Even Shi Zongtang, Ji Wenrui, the Heavenly Master Swordmaster and the rest were moved by it.

It was a rare treasure that originated from the Ying Sea. In the entire history of the Grand Celestial World, it had never appeared more than ten times. Its effects included enabling an Immortal Soul Third Level cultivator to challenge the Five Decays of Heaven and Man!

Everyone, regardless whether they were Immortal Soul Third Level or Vipralopa Stage cultivators, knew that the most difficult and risky part of trying to breakthrough to a new level was always the first tribulation.

Only by surviving the first level of tribulation could one enter the Cardinal Tribulations Beginning Stage or the Second Tribulation of Destiny. The failure to survive would signify death and no one would be able to save the cultivator.

No one was truly confident as he took the first step.

Everyone had to take a certain amount of risk, which required great courage and determination.

At that stage, it was important to increase one's confidence and rate of success. All forms of preparation had to be done properly. Otherwise, everything would be wasted in a moment of imprudence and complacency.

Although there were not many Immortal Soul Third Level cultivators in the Divine Lands now, there were still many of them whose masteries were very great and had been at this level for many years. However, there were very few of them who took the next step.

For Immortal Soul Third Level cultivators who had challenged the Cardinal Tribulations, there had been cases where the cultivator perished under the hands of the tribulations.

As for Vipralopa Stage cultivators, challenging the Second Tribulation of Destiny was even more difficult and dangerous.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, Earth Dragon King, and Phoenix Grand Sage were all Vipralopa Stage demons.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man, Qing Yi Holy Woman, Tiangang Swordmaster had been in the Vipralopa Stage for years, but they had yet to take the next step.

After the Gu Family retreated into the Ancient Longevity World, there was an old grandmaster in the Vipralopa Stage who challenged the Second Tribulation of Destiny but perished under it.

The Pearl of scenery might not be very useful for Vipralopa Stage cultivators challenging the Second Tribulation of Destiny, but it was very effective for Immortal Soul Third Level cultivators.

While the key laid in one's self, it never hurt to be more careful about something as important as challenging the tribulations.

The eyes of all the Immortal Soul Third Level cultivators present flashed as they saw the Pearl of Scenery. This included Gu Yuankai, Gu Cheng, the Heavenly Master Swordmaster, Royal House Lord, Lightning Swordmaster and the Vast Sea Swordmaster.

It's never early to start preparing.

Some of them had their own thoughts, "Though everyone knows that controlling the Ying Sea will increase the powers of the Celestial Sect of Wonders' greatly, it's only at this point that we have a more direct understanding of how deep their powers could possibly be."

"This Pearl of Scenery was only recently obtained. There's likely to be one or two more of it. There's an Honorary Elder in the Celestial Sect of Wonders who's in the Immortal Soul Third Level - Zhuge Zhan. There's also Lu Yuan, who has cultivated the syncretic star soul…"

The Celestial Sect of Wonders' generosity left everyone dazzled. Even at this stage, there were still many other treasures included in the betrothal gift, such as magic treasure embryos.

At the end, everyone's attention was caught when Duan Muhong, a disciple of Xiao Yan, carried a few gourds.

They were medicinal gourds. Undoubtedly, they contained medicinal pills within them.

The Gu Empire was famous for its pill cultivation. Since the Celestial Sect of Wonders gave them pills as part of the betrothal gift, the pills must be of the best quality. Otherwise, it would be a laughing stock.

In fact, Xiao Yan had proved many years ago that he was much superior to the Qing Ning Holy Man and Gu Yuankai in terms of pill cultivation.

It was rumored that Lin Feng was even better than Xiao Yan in this aspect too. It's just that Lin Feng never revealed his skills. That's why this only stayed as rumors.

Besides Xiao Yan, his juniors Zhu Yi and Yang Qing were also one of the best in terms of pill cultivation in the Divine Lands right now.

Even his disciples like Tang Jun, Duan Muhong, Yang Tie, Ye Xinhui and Ye Xinxuan were all brilliant in the aspect of pill cultivation too.

This was why everyone was very interested in the pills that the Celestial Sect of Wonders was offering.

Duan Muhong was tall and charming. He had grown up.

As compared to Tang Jun, Duan Muhong was a gentler person. He was very respectful towards others. Although he wasn't a competitive person, he also became reputable in the Divine Lands as the Yuan Mi Master, the third-generation First Disciple of the Inferno Precipice. He was one of the best pill cultivators along with Ye Xinhui, third-generation First Disciple of the Heavenly Temple, as well as Lu Yilin, third-generation First Disciple of the Nirvana World.

Duan Muhong presented the first gourd. After someone from the Gu Empire received it, his expression changed, "Spiritual Replenishment Elixir?!"

As the Celestial Sect of Wonders' reputation grew more and more prominent, their authority also grew. Whether it was the Divine Lands or the Barren Expanses, everyone turned their attention towards the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Everyone observed even the slightest of changes in the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Every single piece of news that came from the Celestial Sect of Wonders attracted a lot of attention, even if they might be nonsense.

At this stage, Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders were unbothered if unimportant pieces of information were leaked to the outside world.

The effects of the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir, Trayastrimsa Elixir of Creation and Celestial Heavenlymystic Golden Pill of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were slowly made known to the others.

Everyone around had heard of the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir before and they knew that it could increase the Innate Ability of a cultivator.

Everyone naturally craved to receive such a powerful and valuable elixir.

Wang Lin's story in the past had become a legend in the Divine Lands. It motivated many people with lacking Innate Abilities to become cultivators.

The various sects and powers also reviewed their standards when they accepted disciples. They wondered whether these standards were too strict, which made them lose out on many potential talents.

Apart from Innate Ability, the rest of the talent statistics were difficult to test. However, the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir could avoid such a problem to a certain extent. At the same time, disciples who had potential in terms of their Intelligence and Determination could make up for their shortfall in Innate Ability with the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir.

The Gu Empire also looked into how they were nurturing their disciples. Now that the Celestial Sect of Wonders offered them the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir, it was a blessing for many of their disciples who had potential but lacked Innate Ability. Many more talents would also choose to go to the Gu empire now.

There were thirty-six elixirs, which was a huge figure.

But this was only the start. After the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir, there were another thirty-six pills. There were three types of pills, twelve pills of each type. Everyone was stunned as they saw these pills.

There were twelve Life Substitution Heavenly Pills, that could be taken by twelve different people since it's only effective once in a person's life. This meant that twelve people would have another life with these twelve pills.

This pill was originally from the Great Void Sect, but the pill formula went missing. However, many guessed that the Celestial Sect of Wonders had obtained the pill formula since there were many of this pill right now!

Twelve of them appeared at one go, which was undoubtedly a shock for everyone.

There were twelve Celestial Heavenlymystic Golden Pills and twelve Trayastrimsa Elixirs of Creation!

These two types of pills left the cultivator who received them over even more shocked.

Whether it was the Celestial Heavenlymystic Golden Pill or the Trayastrimsa Elixir of Creation, they were only passed down in the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Only the Celestial Sect of Wonders possessed the pill formula. Their unbelievable effects were also known by everyone in the Divine Lands.

The Celestial Heavenlymystic Golden Pill helped a cultivator to comprehend the Dao. A 'Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator that consumed it could increase his spiritual altar's grade!

The Trayastrimsa Elixir of Creation carried the concepts of the Great Dao and was very useful in helping a cultivator to comprehend various concepts of the Dao. An Advanced Nascent Soul Stage cultivator that consumed it could increase his mastery by a level, meaning that he could reach the Immortal Soul Stage!

Both types of pills were so valuable that their appearances shook the Divine Lands!
