Chapter 1172 Peak Of Treasures
??1172 Peak of Treasures
"That's why I told you that despite having previous lives, you are all different people in one way or another. Do not be afraid to love because of the commitments you made in your previous lives. You will regret it like I did." Tian Xin spoke with a sorrowful smile on his handsome face.
Yuan was speechless, as he didn't know how to respond to such words.
Even though he had a commitment with Meixiu in their past life, he met her and fell in love with her in this life before he even knew about his relationship with her in their past life. As for Chu Liuxiang, while he still has no idea what kind of relationship he had with her in their past life, it was the same story as Meixiu.
Of course, this could be said about Li Jinxi as well, whom he met before learning about Jin Xi. Though, they are not in a romantic relationship and were more like training buddies. One could even say that they have a disciple and master relationship but at a more informal level.
"Don't worry, I will take care of Jin Xi even if you didn't ask, since I am already acquainted with her." Yuan said.
"Is that so? Then I have another request. When she eventually remembers about you, apologize to her for me. Tell her that I am sorry for not loving her properly."
Tian Xin approached Yuan before handing over the key to him.
"I will leave this place in your hands." Tian Xin's body disappeared a moment later.
"..."
After standing there for some time, Yuan approached the building with two massive doors.
The doors reminded him of the Stairway to Heaven in aesthetics, and there were nine keyholes right in the center of it, each with a word engraved on the bottom of each hole.
"Dominance, talent, beast, anger, endurance, fate, love, reminiscence, and inheritance." Yuan read these words out loud, but he still wasn't sure which key belonged in which keyhole.
Right as he was prepared to try every keyhole one key at a time, Feng Yuxiang's voice resounded, "For the keyhole 'Love', it's probably referring to Jin Xi's love for the Young Master, right?"
"That sounds reasonable." Yuan nodded, and he inserted the white key he received from Jin Xi into the 'Love' keyhole.
*Click*
It was the correct key.
"Then 'Beast' must be referring to the Purple Lightning Qilin." Lan Yingying then said.
Yuan inserted the purple key he received from the Purple Lightning Qilin into the 'Beast' keyhole.
*Click*
"The Sword Pagoda represents talent." Xiao Hua said.
He inserted the golden key from the Sword Pagoda into the 'Talent' keyhole.
*Click*
"Fate is definitely the black key from the Fateful Garden." Yuan mumbled as he inserted the key.
*Click*
"As for 'Reminiscence', the blue key from the Sword Graveyard."
*Click*
"Demons represent uncontrollable 'Anger', so the crimson key."
*Click*
"The Sword Pond definitely tested my endurance."
*Click*
Now there were just two more unoccupied keyholes.
"Dominance and Inheritance, huh."
Tian Xin handing him the final key to the building would definitely qualify as inheritance, and the Nine Swords Trial definitely dominated against its challengers.
*Click*
*Click*
Yuan inserted the Master Key last, and when he twisted it, the door immediately began to open.
The interior of the building lacked any sort of decorations, almost as though it was a brand new house with no prior occupants.
However, there were several items neatly displayed at the center of the room.
Yuan walked over to the closest one, where an ancient-looking manual rested.
When he focused on it, its information appeared on a screen.
[Sword God's Apex Sword Art]
Yuan swallowed nervously upon reading its domineering name.
After staring at the manual for a moment, he walked to the next display case.
"This is… a mask?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.
The mask looked exactly like the one Tian Xin always wore. It had an ordinary appearance, but when Yuan saw its information, his eyes nearly popped out of its sockets.
"Immune to spiritual attacks? This mask is more overpowered than I expected!" He exclaimed.
"Y-Young Master… T-This mask is a C-Celestial-grade treasure…" Feng Yuxiang muttered in a stuttering voice when she realized what was before her eyes.
"I noticed. How much stronger is it compared to a Mythic-grade treasure?" He asked.
"They are two entire grades above Mythic-grade. In fact, Celestial-grade treasures are considered to be the most powerful treasures in the Nine Heavens."
Yuan swallowed nervously and asked, "So there is nothing above Celestial-
grade?"
"Actually, there is one more, but I don't think they even exist anymore in our current era. Above Celestial-grade treasures are Primordial-grade, but less than 10 of them have existed since ancient times."
"Is that so…"
Yuan walked to the next display case, where a beautiful black and golden sword resided.
"T-This is an Empyrean-grade treasure! Although it's one grade below Celestial-grade, they are still considered the best of the best by most people due to how rare Celestial-grade treasures are!" Feng Yuxiang was essentially drooling right now.
Even during her time in the upper heavens, she has never owned an Empyrean-grade treasure, nor has she ever got to see a Celestial-grade treasure with her bare eyes.
Yuan walked to the last display case, where it was showcasing a small bottle that contained a single drop of gold liquid.
"Feng Feng, what's this?" Yuan immediately asked her.
"I have no idea…" She immediately responded.
"But knowing the Young Master, it's probably something that exceeds our imaginations. Why else would you put it here, besides the other treasures?"
"That makes sense. Now all that's left is— whether I am allowed to take these treasures or not, and if I can, how many can I take with me?" He looked at the four display cases with a perplexed expression.
