The Supreme Lord Donghuang

After separating from the two disciples of the Sky Sword Sect, Zhou Donghuang began patiently scouring through the beast mountain to find the place of burial of the Dharma Peak adept, although it was somewhat like finding a needle in a haystack.

One day passed to no avail.

Two more days passed to no avail as well.

…

Zhou Donghuang used a grand total of five days to find the suspected place of burial of the Dharma Peak adept. Of course, before he confirmed it, it could only be said to be the suspected place.

That was because it was hidden too well.

“It’s hidden too deep in… If not for the two beasts killing each other and knocking over the thorns here, loosening the ground, I would not have found it at all.”

Zhou Donghuang glanced at the cracks in the ground formed by the broken thorns, broke through these cracks and saw that there was a dark cave passage hidden below.

Beside Zhou Donghuang, two giant creatures were lying on the ground without making any sounds. These were the two Connate beasts that had been fighting and killing each other.

Once Zhou Donghuang had appeared, they had stopped fighting and turned to attack Zhou Donghuang instead. They then ended up dying in his hands.

“These few days… I’ve visited this place at least three times and never discovered it till now.”

With a shake of his head and a sigh, Zhou Donghuang raised his palms, and a silver glass palm rushed out, cracking apart the passage with a giant “boom!”

The crack could fit a middle-aged man passing through and was suitable in size for Zhou Donghuang.

“I must be right, it has to be here!”

Zhou Donghuang walked into the cave passage and there were no obstructions to be found. Finally, he entered a dark cave house. With Zhou Donghuang’s inner Yuan forming into Samadhi fire, the entire cave house suddenly lit up.

The cave house was not extremely spacious and was rather simplistic in design.

On the floor, in the middle of the ground, a man was sitting cross-legged. He was now a bag of bones, and his entire body’s clothes were torn and tattered. On the middle finger of his left hand, he wore a space ring.

Other than that, there was nothing else left in this room.

“Thank you.”

Zhou Donghuang bowed towards the skeleton-like figure before removing the space ring that was on his hand. Afterwards, he checked the room to ensure that there were no other valuable items before retreating out.

“No one else will ever disturb your valuable peace again.”

After leaving the cave house, Zhou Donghuang waved his hands, causing the entire cave passage to shake and collapse. He then settled the thorns at the entrance of the cave house such that it looked ordinary enough before going on his way.

“I can’t believe this space ring is actually a galaxy space ring!”

Zhou Donghuang had wanted to explore whatever was in the space ring. However, it did not respond at first until he pinched his fingers and dripped a drop of blood from the torn flesh onto it.

Only a galaxy space ring required the owner’s drop of blood as a recognition and activation method.

Furthermore, for a galaxy space ring, its inner capacity was at least three square feet and above. The biggest galaxy space ring could even be ten square feet… If ten feet were translated to Earth’s current measurements, it would be about over thirty meters.

Now, Zhou Donghuang’s galaxy space ring in his hand had an inner capacity of a perfect square that had a length of more than twenty Earth meters.

This was considered a better than average galaxy space ring.

Furthermore, a galaxy space ring had the following advantage: Even if it was stolen by someone else, as long as the owner was alive and it did not abandon its owner, no one else could retrieve the items within it.

“Let’s see what there is inside…”

Zhou Donghuang began to explore what the Dharma peak adept had left behind in his galaxy space ring. Firstly, he found a letter.

While items were stored in the galaxy space ring, time was suspended within. This letter thus looked crisp and brand new. On the letter, it stated, “To the lucky inheritor, from Mo Gan.”

It was obvious that the name of the Dharma Peak adept who had left the inheritance behind was Mo Gan.

“I hope it’s just some random garbage.”

While Zhou Donghuang removed the letter from the envelope, his brows furrowed slightly. If it were possible, he would much rather not open the letter at all.

Normally, for chance encounters, he preferred those who left behind challenges as it meant that he had earned the rewards fair and square.

Furthermore, for those who left behind chance encounters, after one passed the countless challenges set in place to win the rewards, they would not leave you with any other problems.

Even if they did, you could choose to ignore them entirely.

“I already passed the test you left behind to gain this inheritance… Now, after passing the exam, there’s yet another task… This is a little unorthodox.”

However, if the owner had not left behind any tasks and gave away chance encounters for free, the inheritor would be at the beck and call of this owner as whatever the former wanted, the inheritor would have to follow and try his best to help fulfill it.

This was the other consequence.

As for Zhou Donghuang, he was someone who was very respectful of human relationships.

“As expected.”

After opening the letter and reading its contents, Zhou Donghuang shook his head and sighed.

“These old people are really quite evil.

“I’d better see what he has left behind first… If it is not enough for me to desire it, or not worth the price, I’ll return it at the very least.”

Even if he was unwilling to waste his time, that could be the most viable solution for items that were not valuable enough.

If this person was an ingrate, even after seeing the words on the letter, Zhou Donghuang could choose to ignore it and there would not be any impact on him.

However, to Zhou Donghuang, this was a cause that he could not just ignore.

That was unless he chose to ignore it. If he took it on, he had to see it through. If not, when he entered the Divine Realm through the Deity’s Tribulation in the future, he would become a scary Tribulation of Demon-in-the-Heart.

“Two ultimate Dharma heavenly spirit weapons, tens of thousands of mid-quality spirit stones, many core drugs…

“Wait… is that Core King Fruit!?”

If Zhou Donghuang had been rather calm before, once he saw the giant golden spirit fruit the size of a giant core drug, he lost a bit of his composure.

A Core King Fruit could only be consumed by a Primal Core adept to activate its abilities.

For a Primal Core adept who had just entered the late Primal Core stage, within a short few days, one could become an ultimate Primal Core adept!

Of course, for a spirit fruit like this, any Primal Core adept could only experience its effects once.

“What a beauty!”

“If I eat this medicine, for my remaining two Silver Essence… one of them will surely become Golden Essence after a few days!”

Of course, he was now a little swayed.

At this point, Zhou Donghuang had basically finished exploring all the items within the space ring. Just as he was preparing to calm himself down, he realized that at the corner of the space ring lay an item that was akin to a dried-up tree branch. It looked extremely boring and it was no wonder that he had missed it at first.

However, once Zhou Donghuang discovered it, his eyes widened yet again, and he excitedly whipped it out.

This dried-up tree branch was about four-feet long and the prints on it were extremely strange. It looked like it had many scales stuck on it and was completely covered in grey.

“This is it!”

In an instant, Zhou Donghuang’s breathing became rapid due to his excitement. His chest heaved up and down like a ship’s sail in the wind.

“Soul Shaper! This is a Soul Shaper! A complete one at that!

“My goodness!

“This is something that everyone in the universe agrees is an infinite treasure!

“If a Soul Shaper is present, big planets, stars and cities would send their best sects and disciples forward to fight for it… Even in my past life, if there was a chance to find a Soul Shaper, I would have risked my life!

“If I had gotten this Soul Shaper in my previous life, I would not have had to care about the Tribulation of Demon-in-the-Heart in the Deity’s Tribulation! If I had this Soul Shaper, I would long have entered the Deity’s Tribulation stage, defeated the Deity’s Tribulation and entered the Divine Realm!”

A Soul Shaper could be refined by those who were in the Dharma stage and above.

For Dharma adepts, as long as they refined the Soul Shaper, they could agglomerate their Divine Will. Once they had mastered that, they would be able to defeat all Primordial Soul adepts and below!

If anyone had refined a complete Soul Shaper and entered the Primordial Soul stage, the cohesive Primordial Soul’s Divine Will would be at the same level as a Primordial Soul adept, but its power would be greatly enhanced and go beyond that of the normal Divine Will attacks of a Primordial Soul adept.

After one entered the Divine Transformation stage, they could also go beyond and disregard the Divine Will attacks of a Divine Transformation adept.

Those were the possibilities of this fruit.

Once one entered the highest stage in the universe, the Deity’s Tribulation stage, the Primordial Soul stage would be even more frightening and one could even disregard the Tribulation of Demon-in-the-Heart in the Deity’s Tribulation!”

“A complete Soul Shaper…

“In this entire universe, if anyone took out a Soul Shaper for auction… when I was at the peak of my past life, even all my wealth would not have been able to pay for 10% of the value of it…”

Zhou Donghuang sighed to himself. At the same time, he carefully placed the Soul Shaper back into the inner capacity of the galaxy space ring for safekeeping. “That Dharma adept probably did not know that this was a Soul Shaper.

“Perhaps… he did not even realize such an object existed.”

Due to the unbelievable power of the Soul Shaper, many used to dub it as “Divine Soul Shaper” as well!

“I guess I will have to take on the burden of the Dharma adept if I wish to keep these items.”

Zhou Donghuang glanced at the letter once more and sighed again.

In the letter, the Dharma adept named Mo Gan, the person who had left the inheritance behind, had wanted him to seek revenge.

The person he wanted to exact revenge on before his life had ended was a Primal Core adept, and he was the sort of adept who stole other peoples’ bodies.

This person was Mo Gan’s only kin, his step-son.

He and his step-son had severed ties due to this, and they had murderous intentions towards one another.

“Hengliu galaxy, the Great Star (a nickname for the Soul Shaper), Fireism, Gong Sunling… Alright, I’ve memorized it all.

“He even listed all the evil deeds that Gong Sunling had done… Mo Gan was probably worried that the person who collected this inheritance would only kill those who were evil and not those who were innocent.

“What foresight indeed.”

A Primal Core adept only had one chance in his life to fight for rebirth. Normally, one could use it at any time or just before they died if they chose to.

However, once they were successful, they would be stuck at the Primal Core stage forever, and it would be impossible for them to cross over into the next stage.

This was why no one would easily try to steal others’ bodies unless it was absolutely necessary.
