Seventh Tier Imperial Equipment
The ‘Hexagonal Origin Mt. Tai Core Stone’ was an extremely sturdy precious stone, it was said that majority of spirit cultivators would use it to increase the sturdiness of their treasures, or use it to refine their weapons. The Chiselling Body Mountain was said to be the place that produced the most ‘Hexagonal Origin Mt. Tai Core Stone’, thus its popular name. Many people would climb the mountain in search of the ‘Hexagonal Origin Mt. Tai Core Stone’, but the last time the mountain had produced the stone had been a decade ago. To not have another one of these Hexagonal Mt. Tai Core Stone for so many years, many people had thus given up the search.
At the moment, there were no clues and Su Yun could only test his luck out. In any case, the missions to look for materials at the auctions did not have any insurance fees, so failing would not incur any losses and even if other people were to submit in the mission requirements, the materials that he obtained could directly be sold to the auction.
The Chiselling Body Mountain was a barren mountain covered with rocks all over, the mountain was similar to the shape of a body and it was said that an almighty being knew that he was going to die, so he used an earth technique to create a large mountain chiselling it into the shape of his own body with the intent of transferring his spirit and soul into the stone body after death in order to use it to reincarnate, but he fell before completing it.
Su Yun obtained all these information from the people discussing at the auction. Although he wanted to enquire more, but after thinking about the pitiful numbers written on his proof of qualifications, he just kept silent and listened.
With the Heavenly Crystal effects dissipating, his fighting strength had recovered back to normal, rising back to the fifth stage, his fighting strength had swelled up to 700, which looked to be much better, as majority of the people had the same numerical value.
Su Yun stepped on his flying sword and flew to the waist of the Chiselling Body Mountain before landing, he then followed a mountain path and walked up.
The Chiselling Body Mountain was huge, trying find a stone was extremely difficult. The ‘Hexagonal Origin Mt. Tai Core Stone’ was blood red and was rather outstanding compared to the brown rocks. Furthermore, the Hexagonal Mt. Tai Core Stone would emit a lavender scent, so if one was extremely careful, he would be able to reap some benefits.
Su Yun looked around carefully, he avoided all the paths with footsteps and entered places where no one ventured into.
Suddenly, a dense stench of blood came out from ahead of him.
Su Yun’s heart tensed up, he immediately unsheathed the Immortal Mystical Scarlet Blood Sword and carefully headed towards the direction of the blood stench. It was extremely quiet and no sounds were heard. After walking for about an incense stick’s worth of time, scattered corpses entered his vision.
All of the bodies were in bits and pieces scattered all over, with traces of a fight everywhere, even the air still had the scent of destruction.
Su Yun walked over and placed his hands over the forehead of a middle aged woman.
The body was still warm and the blood had not dried, it was definitely a battle that ended not long ago, but he was unable to differentiate the opponent’s strength.
Bang!!!
Suddenly, a loud sound came out from the distance.
Su Yun stood up and looked over, a cloud of dust had risen at the top of the Chiselling Body Mountain, causing boulders to roll down, the walls of the mountain had crevices as well, and the entire mountain seemed to be trembling.
Inside the cloud of dust, it seemed that there were mystical techniques flowing.
~Could there be people fighting there now? Are they linked to these people?~
~Forget it, I won’t bother about this.~
Su Yun looked down and started to plunder the bodies.
He was currently lacking in Cultivation Coins. To come across such easy money, he definitely had to take them.
Everyone had a spatial bag, none of them were weak, with fighting strength all around 1000 written on their proof of qualifications which meant they were between the fifth and sixth stage.
After searching all of them, Su Yun retrieved 11 of the spatial bags, he threw all of them into his storage ring, and then looked for a place to hide and observe the battle from afar.
Bang bang bang!!!
A series of explosions came out, the entire mountain top was completely exploded into a flat state. The air around trembled and boulders flew all over in every direction.
Su Yun immediately used the Imperial Sword Technique to retreat. He dodged the ripple, which lasted for a few breaths before dissipating.
He then heard an enraged roar.
“Chi Ren Wang! You killed all 13 of my family members, I have trained bitterly for one thousand two hundred years just to kill you. This day, and right at this time, will be your death day!”
The roar came from atop the mountain.
“Hehehehehe, for me to fall to you, Hui Piao Miao. I, Chi Ren Wang, can only consider it as my bad luck, but I never thought that you will be able to reach the fifth stage of the Spirit Star Realm in cultivation, this is truly shifting the pendulum back! Who cares! Make your move!”
Another rugged and old voice sounded out.
Su Yun listened on, he roughly knew what it was about, revenge.
“Humph, you want to die? Not so easy, I heard that you have a Seventh Tier Imperial Equipment with unfathomable power, it can defend against all treasures under the skies. Now, I want you to obediently hand over the Seventh Tier Imperial Equipment, and maybe I will let you die nicely.”
“Hahahaha, what’s this about taking revenge for your family, ain’t it just an excuse? Clearly, you have your eyes set on this Old man’s Seventh Tier Imperial Equipment! But this old one will have to disappoint you, I know that I am not your opponent and have long since moved the Seventh Tier Imperial Equipment! Hui Piao Miao, you think you can get this old man’s treasure? You’re dreaming! Hahahaha”
“You! Crafty old fox! I will abstract your spirit and soul and torture you for all eternity!” The voice seemed to be filled with guilt and anger, and was about to make his move.
But just at this time, a destructive Qi surfaced again and the astonishing power was dissipated.
“Hui Piao Miao, do you think this old man will let you do as you please? Dream on! Today, I cannot escape, but you will be nowhere as good, If you want me to die, let us die together! Aaaah!!!” The old man bellowed.
Hearing that, Su Yun’s face changed, he immediately threw out the Immortal Mystical Scarlet Blood Sword and stepped on it, flying away frantically.
Self detonation!
He had never thought that Chi Ren Wang would choose to self detonate to end himself. Spirit cultivators who self detonated would die completely, even with their spirit and soul vanishing. If the fleshly body dies, a person can rely on his spirit and soul to revive, but it seemed that Chi Ren Wang was determined to die along with Hui Piao Miao.
Boom!!!
A frightening loud explosion appeared with a gigantic mushroom cloud blossoming out on Chiselling Body Mountain, which then engulfed the entire Chiselling Body Mountain, the sky full of dust and a ripple swept so far that it even hit Sky Central City. Everywhere within a thousand mile radius trembled greatly, as though a large scale earthquake had occurred.
Su Yun who was on the Immortal Mystical Scarlet Blood Sword escaping from the Chiselling Body Mountain could not escape fast enough, he was struck by the ripple and dropped from the sword, falling down to a river at the forest nearby.
Whoosh.
He crawled out from the river and gasped for breath, before finding a place to sit down and recuperate.
At that moment, the entire Chiselling Body Mountain was completely blown apart, the entire mountain had disappeared with the dust, and the forest all around it were covered with sand and dust, all the spirit cultivators nearby were struck with the shock and were trying to escape.
Su Yun who was around a thousand miles away looked at the place where the Chiselling Body Mountain once stood.
The earth shattering scene would forever be an unforgettable thing to many.
“Looks like this mission will never be completed.”
Su Yun laughed bitterly, feeling extremely helpless.
~But the treasures obtained from the corpses should be worth quite a bit of cultivation coins, I should appreciate what I have.~
Su Yun then took out the spatial bags from his storage ring and started to take out the treasures from within.
What made Su Yun disappointed was that all the treasures inside were things that he had seen at the auction before, and the most expensive was only worth a hundred odd Cultivation Coins, there were nothing extremely valuable. ~Maybe that Hui Piao Miao or Chi Ren Wang’s spatial bags will have more valuable things.
~But returning to their location to look for their spatial bags is impossible, firstly who knows if their spatial bags are still intact, and even if it is, it’s impossible to get them, most likely there are many almighty beings heading towards Chiseling Body Mountain now.~
“Huh? What’s this?”
Su Yun who was rummaging through the treasures eyed on something strange.
It was a small blue flag, with a large word “Imperial” drawn on the flag, the pole was lined with gold, and upon holding it in his hand, he could feel that the flag was emitting an astonishing amount of power.
He had never seen it before at the auction, he immediately held it tighter, and used Profound Spirit Qi to inspect the treasure.
When he imbued his Profound Spirit Qi into the flag, Su Yun was immediately alarmed, his entire body immediately perspiring in cold sweat!
“True Divine Spirit Qi! What powerful True Divine Spirit Qi!”
He swore that in his life, he had never seen such powerful True Divine Spirit Qi before! In the past, whichever enemies he had met, including the fifth stage Spirit Star Realm cultivator… They would all be unable to compare to this flag, not only were they incapable of comparing with it, even if 100 of the fifth stage Spirit Star Realm cultivators were to exist, they would still be unable to fight against the power inside the flag.
“Imperial?”
~This treasure belongs to one of the dead person? I remember that all of them were roughly in the fifth stage of the Spirit Star Realm, how can the master of this flag be so weak?”
Su Yun became suspicious, thinking about the conversation between Chi Ren Wang and Hui Piao Miao, he remembered that they talked about some treasure which was the Seventh Tier Imperial Equipment.
~Chi Ren Wang said that he had moved the Treasure away, could it be that he moved it onto one of these people?~
~Probably.~
~Hui Piao Miao was powerful, and would definitely not search random people’s items. If they had not died, they could have taken the treasure away.~
“I never thought that the treasure that two experts were risking their lives for would actually land in my hands!”
Su Yun was ecstatic! After thinking for a moment, he used Profound Spirit Qi to cut his finger and drip some blood onto the flag.
In the next moment, a special connection surged from the flag into Su Yun’s hand and flowed into his heart.
It was the connection between him and the flag.
He raised the flag and quietly imbued Profound Spirit Qi to activate the flag, in that moment, a large amount of True Divine Spirit Qi blossomed out with him at the center, forming a gigantic halo, which resembled a wall as it surrounded him.
Su Yun stared at the flag for a moment, he took out the Immortal Mystical Scarlet Blood Sword and controlled it to fly out of the halo, and then used the sword tip and aimed at his own heart, and fiercely thrusted it forth.
Clang!
Just as Immortal Mystical Scarlet Blood Sword was nearing the halo, it seemed to have collided with an immovable object, it was instantly flung out and a ripple of Profound Qi dissipated from the place of collision.
“A perfect all round defense!”
Su Yun stood up, he looked around him with a twinkle in his eyes.
~Seventh Tier Imperial Equipment? It should be extremely high grade, then what would be an Eighth grade Imperial Equipment? Or a Sixth grade? Are these the treasures in this world? I guess I need to acquire more knowledge about this world.~
~But, if Chi Ren Wang has such a treasure, why didn’t he use it to fight Hui Piao Miao? It has such absolute defense, and he will definitely hold the advantage fighting him.
~Could Hui Piao Miao have even more terrifying treasures?~
Su Yun thought.
Without a question, this treasure was definitely a priceless treasure, or maybe it could be valued at a hundred thousand Cultivation Coins! However, Su Yun did not dare exchange it for Cultivation Coins, his strength was already too low, only powerful almighty beings could take out a hundred thousand Cultivation Coins, and to any almighty beings, killing him to obtain the treasure was definitely better than exchanging a hundred thousand Cultivation Coins.
Su Yun kept the Seventh Tier Imperial Equipment and removed the all round defense. He heaved a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
What surprised him was that such a treasure was only able to increase fighting strength by a bit, and that itself was a puzzling issue.
~could this be worse than an ordinary treasure?~
“Now that Chiselling Body Mountain is gone, the Hexagonal Origin Mt. Tai Core Stone will no longer be obtainable, I should change my mission. With this treasure, maybe I can obtain an even higher grade mission with better rewards.”
Su Yun thought, he took out his flying sword and flew back towards the city.
