Chapter 1898: Seeing Fragments Again

"True treasures! Brother Golden's tone is not small. I do have a few items from the Chaos Myriad Spirit List in my hands, and their value is even higher than ordinary Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasures, but do you think I would take them out to exchange for Nether River Milk!" The old man sneered and refused without hesitation.

"Hehe, I was just saying. If Brother Xu Ling doesn't want to, then forget it. However, I heard that you obtained an extraordinary treasure before going into seclusion, which seems to be related to a Heaven-Piercing Treasure. I originally wanted to take this opportunity to see it," Marquis Golden Flame revealed a look of regret.

"Heaven-Piercing Treasure!" Qing Tian Yuanzi was also moved upon hearing this.

"Hmph, you are well-informed. However, it is only a fragment of a Heaven-Piercing Treasure, not a true Heaven-Piercing Treasure. Since Brother Golden has already named this treasure, if I were to hide it again, it would seem somewhat petty. I will take it out for the two brothers to see," the old man turned his eyes toward Qing Tian Yuanzi and Marquis Golden Flame, and suddenly agreed with a smile.

"If that's true, then Brother Jiang and I will be able to open our eyes. Although I have cultivated until now, this is truly the first time I have been able to see a Heaven-Piercing Treasure with my own eyes," Marquis Golden Flame said with joy.

"I once saw the power of a Heaven-Piercing Treasure being unleashed back in the day, but my magic power was low at the time, and I was far away. I have never been able to see the true body of this Heaven-Piercing Treasure. But having said that, the Mayfly Clan is one of the great clans of the Wind Origin Continent, so you should have a true Heaven-Piercing Treasure as a clan-protecting treasure, right!" Qing Tian Yuanzi's eyes also flashed with excitement.

As for Han Li, upon hearing the words "Heaven-Piercing Treasure," his heart tightened, and he moved his gaze away from the colorful treasures in the air and looked toward the old man.

"Our clan does indeed have a Heaven-Piercing Treasure. But this treasure was offered to our clan's Holy Spirit long ago, and even I can only see the image of this treasure in the classics. There are only a dozen or so true Heaven-Piercing Treasures in the entire Spirit Realm. These are already the limit of Heaven-Piercing objects that this realm can evolve," the old man said indifferently, and suddenly rubbed his hands together. Immediately, with a muffled sound, a ball of red light appeared between his hands.

In the red light, there was an object like an incense burner, its surface pitted and bumpy, with several unknown golden runes faintly appearing. At the same time, on the top, there were several beast patterns that he had never seen before, either eagle-headed and horse-bodied, or pig-headed and dragon-bodied, but all of them were missing limbs, looking extremely broken.

Han Li and the other three naturally cast their gazes on this object, their expressions different.

"This is a fragment of a Heaven-Piercing Treasure!" Marquis Golden Flame looked at the object in the red light with some suspicion.

Qing Tian Yuanzi also frowned slightly.

"Hehe, two brothers, people who have reached your level of cultivation, how can you still be confused by mere appearances." The old man saw that the two were still skeptical, but didn't get angry, instead laughing, and suddenly flicked his finger toward the incense burner in front of him.

With a crisp "Dang" sound, the incense burner trembled, and the golden runes on its surface shone brightly. At the same time, the beast patterns on the top of the incense burner also flashed with red light, and the missing parts were instantly filled in by the red light.

And at this moment, as the old man's finger moved, he flicked a second time.

With a "Bang," those golden runes that had emerged suddenly collapsed on the surface of the incense burner, transforming into countless golden stars that enveloped the entire burner. Those few beast patterns also twisted and began to move within the red light, as if they could break directly out of the incense burner at any moment.

At the same time, a vast force of heaven and earth energy surged out from the incense burner, turning into a formless giant force that shrouded the entire hall.

Han Li, who had just stood up, felt his body sway under this terrifying pressure, and his face changed slightly.

Qing Tian Yuanzi and Marquis Golden Flame, although sitting steadily, couldn't help but exclaim in wonder as they looked at the strange phenomenon presented by the incense burner.

"A fragment of a Heaven-Piercing Treasure can have such power, I really don't know how terrifying those true Heaven-Piercing Treasures are. Brother Xu Ling, you are truly fortunate! With this treasure on you, I imagine you will have more confidence when facing the tribulation," Qing Tian Yuanzi exclaimed.

"Hehe, I hope so. However, the ascension tribulation is not easy to pass. There have been people in our Spirit Realm who have faced the ascension tribulation, and every one of them was trembling with fear, only facing the tribulation when they felt they had sufficient confidence. But those who could pass it were few and far between. If I didn't feel that I truly couldn't pass the next Great Heavenly Tribulation, I would never want to risk ascending. However, if I could have a true Heaven-Piercing Treasure in my hand, I might truly have a few points of confidence. Unfortunately, the one in the hands of Holy Insect Lord has long been refined into one with itself, and it's impossible to borrow," the old man fell silent for a moment, feeling great regret.

"However, I seem to have heard that our Spirit Realm added another Heaven-Piercing Treasure a few hundred years ago," Qing Tian Yuanzi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said something that made Han Li's heart jump.

"Is that true? I have never heard anyone say that! But this is unlikely, right? Did you make a mistake, Brother Jiang!" Marquis Golden Flame was startled upon hearing this, looking extremely skeptical.

"Brother Jiang must have heard the news from Elder Hua of your clan. This is indeed true. I heard from the clan elders as soon as I came out of seclusion that a Heaven-Piercing Treasure suddenly appeared on the Chaos Myriad Spirit List a few years ago. This is indeed a strange thing. I heard that this treasure appeared on our Wind Origin Continent, and even the Horned Chi Clan and the Sea Clan crossed continents to look for this treasure, even using blood sacrifice methods, but they didn't seem to succeed. Later, there was no news of this object, I don't know if it has already gained intelligence and hidden itself, or if it was obtained by some other powerful being who used divine abilities to cover it up, making it impossible to determine its whereabouts," the old man replied gloomily.

"There is such a thing! But how could a Heaven-Piercing Treasure cover up even the power of calculation? Could it be that this treasure fell into the hands of some True Spirit existence?" Marquis Golden Flame shook his head repeatedly, extremely shocked.

"Falling directly into the hands of a True Spirit is unlikely. Although True Spirits are mostly born in various realms, once they reach adulthood, they will leave their original realm, or go to a higher Immortal Realm, or wander in the void between realms to open up their own residences. Basically, they have no chance to come into contact with Heaven-Piercing Treasures first. Otherwise, how could we clans offer these True Spirits as the foundation of our clans? I think this matter might be related to the fact that this Heaven-Piercing Treasure might not be a Heaven-Piercing object born in this realm. It is not a Heaven-Piercing Treasure born in this realm, so it is possible to calculate it once or twice. Once this treasure gains intelligence and becomes alert, it has ways to resist the calculation of the heaven and earth power of other realms, which is not too strange," the old man's eyes narrowed, and he slowly said something that was close to the truth.

"Hmm, hearing Brother Xu Ling say this, it is indeed reasonable. It might really be so. Otherwise, the clans wouldn't have given up so easily. After all, no one would waste their effort on a fool's errand. Brother's breadth of experience is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people!" Marquis Golden Flame thought for a moment and said with admiration.

Qing Tian Yuanzi nodded on the side, his face also showing agreement.

"Haha, this conclusion was reached by a group of elders in the clan, not something I thought of myself. Alright, Little Brother Han, you have listened for a long time, have you chosen the treasure you want?" Xu Ling old man laughed, and suddenly asked Han Li, not forgetting the matter that had almost been left behind by them.

Han Li listened to the conversation of the three, and the heart that had been lifted finally returned to his stomach, but upon hearing the old man's question, a strange expression appeared on his face again, and after a long while, he could only bite the bullet and reply:

"Senior, although these treasures are miraculous, there is nothing this junior wants. This junior still wants to keep the Nether River Spirit Milk for my own use."

"Nothing you want? Don't tell me you really have a Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure from the Myriad Spirit List? Good, if you really have such a treasure, I naturally won't force you to exchange for these treasures. But if you don't, I can only take it as you being disrespectful to me, and I'll have to give you some trouble," the old man didn't get furious as expected, but his face sank, and he said gloomily.

Han Li didn't say any useless words, flipped his hand, and with a flash of silver light, a silver, shiny short ruler appeared.

After waving it slightly with five fingers, an astonishing aura was emitted, and at the same time, with a flash of spirit light, countless silver ruler shadows appeared, looking mysterious.

"Eh, it really is a Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure on the Myriad Spirit List. Although it should be the kind at the bottom of the ranking, it seems Little Brother Han is really not lacking in ordinary treasures," Marquis Golden Flame was startled, then smiled lightly, clearly gloating over the old man's predicament.

Qing Tian Yuanzi touched his chin and smiled bitterly.

The old man saw that he had failed to exchange for the second time, and his face turned ugly. After staring at Han Li for a long time, he sneered and said:

"You don't have a low realm, but your wealth is not small. Since you are not lacking in pills or magic treasures, I will exchange for the spirit milk with something you cannot refuse."
