Chapter 163: You Chase, I Flee — Treasures Obtained

Just as Lu Qingshan activated the Dao-Comprehension Boost function within the chat group…

On the 3333rd inheritance staircase, inside another inheritance divine hall not far from the one where Lu Qingshan was located.

This was the final staircase of the first stage of the Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance!

On this staircase stood a grand hall roughly a thousand meters tall, its outer walls covered in all manner of exquisite secret patterns, and before this magnificent hall stood two enormous golden doors.

At this moment, the figure of a werewolf race powerhouse had already appeared before the doors of this magnificent hall.

"A hall!"

This werewolf race powerhouse gazed at the golden doors before him, which radiated a tremendous pressure, and felt as though he were an ant facing a divine dragon.

"The reward for a primary selectee is inside this hall?"

Thinking this, the figure of the werewolf race powerhouse quickly stepped forward and entered the golden doors ahead.

Inside the magnificent hall, clouds and mist filled the air, and suspended above the mist was a stone stele.

After this werewolf race powerhouse entered, mysterious characters quickly appeared one by one upon the stone stele.

And the content formed when these mysterious characters were strung together was…

"You are the 6987th inheritor to arrive here. You are qualified to receive the title of 'Primary Selectee,' and you may also obtain the reward belonging to a primary selectee."

Upon seeing these characters, the werewolf race powerhouse could not help but look around in all directions, hoping to find the so-called treasure reward.

And just then, two streams of airflow quickly suspended themselves out of the endless clouds and mist.

One stream of cyan airflow, one stream of white airflow.

"What is this?"

The gaze of the werewolf race powerhouse quickly fell upon those two streams of airflow.

Boom!

The white airflow exploded apart, and a glistening white jade-like crystal was quickly revealed within.

This jade-like crystal was only seven or eight centimeters in diameter, yet its interior was filled with strange law secret patterns, while continuously radiating waves of pressure!

Boom!

The cyan airflow exploded apart, and a crystalline cyan fruit was quickly revealed within.

This cyan fruit looked like a large jujube, yet within it flowed streak after streak of cyan law secret patterns, while on its surface circled streak after streak of miniature whirlwinds.

One glistening white jade-like crystal, one mysterious cyan fruit.

"So it's only an Illusion Bing Fengzhu!"

Upon seeing that glistening white crystal, a hint of disappointment inevitably flashed across the face of the werewolf race powerhouse.

The Illusion Bing Fengzhu was a treasure that assisted in unleashing soul attacks, and its value was quite precious—even purchasing it from the human race's treasury would cost around two million Primordial Yuan units.

But for a sealed-king immortal like him, this Illusion Bing Fengzhu was nothing more than an ordinary treasure; once in hand, it had no use whatsoever apart from being sold for money!

"As for this fruit, it does seem rather special!"

The werewolf race powerhouse gazed at that mysterious cyan fruit and could not help thinking inwardly: "Whether in my human race's treasury or in the many shops within Hong Alliance City, I have never seen a fruit like this!"

And at this moment, numerous characters once again began to appear upon the mysterious stone stele suspended within the clouds and mist…

"These two rewards for a primary selectee:

The first is the Illusion Bing Fengzhu, an auxiliary attack treasure for illusionists—with it, any illusionist's strength can be greatly enhanced;

As for the second, it is the Wind Spirit Fruit, a miraculous fruit that only bears fruit once every three thousand epochs. It possesses the special effect of altering the soul, making your soul better suited to receive this Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance;

In both the first and second stages, after completing the trial one can obtain precious treasures that alter the soul, yet to this day no inheritor has ever accepted the complete Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance!"

"So it's a treasure that assists in receiving the inheritance!"

After reading the introduction on the stone stele, the werewolf race powerhouse nodded slightly.

Then he stretched out his hand and quickly collected the two treasures into his grasp.

"This Illusion Bing Fengzhu is of no help to me at all!"

After casually storing the Illusion Bing Fengzhu into his portable space ring, the werewolf race powerhouse quickly turned his gaze to the remaining Wind Spirit Fruit: "As for this Wind Spirit Fruit, it doesn't seem to be of much help to me either!"

"Didn't my teacher and senior brothers say this Divine General inheritance is extremely difficult to receive?"

The werewolf race powerhouse thought inwardly: "But I've only been cultivating for less than two months, and I've already completely accepted the first stage of this Divine General inheritance—this speed should count as quite fast, right!"

"Could it be that I, 'Jiufeng,' have exceptionally high talent for receiving this Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance?"

Thinking this, the werewolf race powerhouse King Jiufeng quickly recalled some words his teacher had said to him in jest long ago.

"I remember my teacher once said that if someone could accept a complete Divine General inheritance, their strength would immediately surpass his!"

Thinking this, a flash of excitement inevitably crossed the face of the werewolf race powerhouse King Jiufeng: "My teacher is already an outstanding figure among six-star powerhouses. To surpass him in strength—would that not be something only a seven-star hegemon could accomplish?"

"I, Jiufeng—could I truly have the chance to become a seven-star hegemon?"

At this thought, the werewolf race powerhouse King Jiufeng quickly swallowed the Wind Spirit Fruit in his hand in one gulp, then stepped onto the 3334th staircase!

……

The fact that the werewolf race powerhouse King Jiufeng had cleared the first stage of the Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance in less than two months was naturally unknown to Lu Qingshan.

Now, after Lu Qingshan activated the Dao-Comprehension Boost function within the chat group, the speed at which he cultivated the Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance had indeed increased greatly.

Previously, he had spent over two months just to reach the two-thousandth staircase. If he continued cultivating at his previous pace, even spending two whole years might not have been enough for him to completely accept the first stage of the Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance!

But after activating the Dao-Comprehension Boost function, he had spent only two months to reach the 3333rd inheritance staircase.

After receiving the same reward here as the werewolf race powerhouse King Jiufeng, Lu Qingshan quickly swallowed that mysterious cyan Wind Spirit Fruit into his mouth.

The moment the Wind Spirit Fruit entered Lu Qingshan's mouth, it instantly transformed into streak after streak of cyan whirlwinds that swiftly surged into his body.

Lu Qingshan felt only streak after streak of cool whirlwinds sweep through every fraction of the divine power within his body, quickly penetrating into the soul of every fraction of divine power, causing an enormous mutation in Lu Qingshan's soul.

"A very comfortable feeling!"

Lu Qingshan sensed the changes within himself, and a hint of joy inevitably flashed across his face: "The fatigue from receiving the inheritance earlier has completely vanished—in fact, I feel far more energized than when I had just received the inheritance!"

"With the help of this Wind Spirit Fruit, I may be able to rely on the remaining ten months to accept the second stage of this Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance in one go!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly stepped up onto the 3334th inheritance staircase.

And so, time continued to flow by.

More than ten months later, Lu Qingshan finally charged up to the 6666th staircase of the Spirit Wind Divine General's inheritance just before the sustained effect of the Dao Comprehension Enhancement function was about to disappear!

This was the final staircase of the second stage of the Spirit Wind Divine General's inheritance!

So on this staircase, there was likewise a grand hall about a thousand meters tall, its outer walls covered with all manner of mysterious law secret patterns, and before this grand hall there were likewise two tall golden doors.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan, clad in a suit of purple-gold battle armor, had already appeared before the doors of this grand hall.

"Reward Hall!"

Lu Qingshan looked at the golden doors ahead exuding a terrifying pressure and could not help secretly thinking: "The reward for the second stage of the Spirit Wind Divine General's inheritance should be within this divine hall, I wonder what the reward will be this time, I hope it's not another ordinary treasure like the Phantom Bing Fengzhu!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly stepped through the golden doors ahead.

He saw that this grand hall was likewise filled with a stretch of cloud and mist, and above the cloud and mist there was likewise a stone stele suspended.

After Lu Qingshan appeared before this stone stele, mysterious characters instantly emerged on its surface.

These mysterious characters, strung together, read…

"You are the 543rd inheritor to arrive here. You are qualified to obtain the title of 'Candidate,' and at the same time you may receive the reward belonging to a Candidate."

After seeing these characters, Lu Qingshan quickly raised his head to look ahead, expecting new reward treasures to appear.

Before long, two new streams of airflow quickly flew out from the endless cloud and mist before Lu Qingshan.

One stream of black airflow, and one stream of cyan airflow.

"This is?"

Lu Qingshan's gaze quickly settled on the two streams of airflow before him.

Boom!

The black airflow burst open, and a pair of black wings, dark as ink throughout, were quickly revealed within.

He saw that once this pair of wings spread out, their width was only a little over one meter, their surface covered with incomparably complex law secret patterns, while also emanating a terrifying pressure.

Boom!

The cyan airflow burst open, and a cyan fruit emanating a hazy cyan light was quickly revealed within.

This cyan fruit looked only the size of an ordinary person's fist, but its surface emanated a hazy cyan halo, with strange and wondrous cyan secret patterns flowing across it.

A pair of wings, dark as ink, emanating a powerful pressure. A cyan fruit emanating a hazy halo.

"It's actually the Obsidian Flowing Light Wings!"

Upon seeing that pair of wings dark as ink, a trace of excitement could not help but appear on Lu Qingshan's face.

These Obsidian Flowing Light Wings were an auxiliary flight-type treasure extremely well-suited for a strong cultivator comprehending the laws of time's origin, and were of extremely precious value. Lu Qingshan had once seen information about these Obsidian Flowing Light Wings in the human race's treasury, and their price was as high as eighty billion points!

Such astonishing wealth would even be enough to rival the entire fortune of some of the poorer Hei Fengwang limit-level strong experts!

In fact, all the wealth Lu Qingshan had accumulated since beginning his cultivation, through that frenzied slaughter on the extraterritorial battlefield, added together, amounted to only about this much!

"This time I've really made out like a bandit!"

Looking at the Obsidian Flowing Light Wings before him, Lu Qingshan could not help sighing in his heart: "I never expected that the Spirit Wind Divine General's inheritance, exchanged for over thirty billion Primordial units, besides being able to rapidly raise my soul amplitude in a short time, would also allow me to obtain such a precious treasure!"

Of course, any living being accepting the Spirit Wind Divine General's inheritance who wished to obtain these Obsidian Flowing Light Wings had to completely accept the second stage of the Spirit Wind Divine General's inheritance.

And now, the number of strong experts who had come here to accept the Spirit Wind Divine General's inheritance had already exceeded seventeen thousand, yet those who could now charge through to this stage and obtain the Candidate reward numbered only a little over five hundred.

"As for this fruit, it does look much better than the previous Wind Spirit Fruit!"

Lu Qingshan, whose emotions were gradually calming down, quickly looked at the cyan fruit emanating a hazy halo before him, and then could not help secretly thinking: "Judging from the reward obtained last time, this fruit should also be of great help in accepting the Spirit Wind Divine General's inheritance!"

And at this moment, numerous characters also began to emerge on the mysterious stone stele suspended in the cloud and mist…

"The two rewards for a Candidate:

The first is the Obsidian Flowing Light Wings, an auxiliary flight-type treasure bestowed upon the inheritor. With it, your probability of survival in the dangerous universe can be greatly increased;

As for the second treasure, it is the incomparably precious Wind Soul Fruit. This is a mysterious fruit of which only a few can be borne every thirty thousand eons, possessing the special effect of transforming the soul, able to make your soul more suited to accepting this Spirit Wind Divine General's inheritance. Its effect is ten to a hundred times greater than the Wind Spirit Fruit;

Candidate, the road ahead will be even harder to walk. I hope you can keep up the effort, and under the help of the Wind Soul Fruit, reach the end of this inheritance staircase!

When that time comes, you will obtain an even more precious treasure, and at the same time become a supreme existence whose name will shake the myriad races of the universe!"

"Wind Soul Fruit?"

After reading the numerous messages displayed on the stone stele, Lu Qingshan waved his hand and quickly collected the Obsidian Flowing Light Wings and the Wind Soul Fruit into his hands.

After strapping the Obsidian Flowing Light Wings to his back, Lu Qingshan quickly separated a wisp of divine power to seep into them and complete the master-acknowledgment.

Afterwards, Lu Qingshan even directly took a bite of the Wind Soul Fruit emanating a hazy halo in his hand.

The moment Lu Qingshan bit through the outer skin of that Wind Soul Fruit, the flesh inside instantly transformed into streams of miniature whirlwinds, which then directly surged into Lu Qingshan's body as if they were airflow.

Even the fruit skin all transformed into miniature whirlwinds that burrowed into every fraction of the divine power within Lu Qingshan's body.

As the miniature whirlwinds continuously poured into Lu Qingshan's body, constantly improving Lu Qingshan's soul, they directly filled Lu Qingshan's soul with streaks of cyan threads.

"Hahaha!"

Feeling his own transformation, a smile quickly appeared on Lu Qingshan's face: "The effect of this Wind Soul Fruit is indeed ten to a hundred times greater than that Wind Spirit Fruit!"

"After swallowing this Wind Soul Fruit, the strain of accepting the inheritance before has instantly vanished!"

"But now that a year has passed, the sustained duration of the Dao Comprehension Enhancement function has also ended!"

Lu Qingshan secretly thought: "If I want to continue accepting the inheritance, I'm afraid I'll have to activate the Dao Comprehension Enhancement function at least one more time!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly turned his gaze to the points balance within the chat group.

Points balance: 87,641!

"Good thing!"

Looking at his remaining points, Lu Qingshan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Recently I've exchanged quite a few points with Pang Bo and the others, and I've finally gathered enough points to activate the Dao Comprehension Enhancement function a second time!"

"I hope that after activating the Dao Comprehension Enhancement function this time, it can let me raise my soul amplitude to over ninety times!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly activated the Dao Comprehension Enhancement function within the chat group once more, and then once again set the sustained duration of the Dao Comprehension Enhancement function to one year!

……

And just as Lu Qingshan activated the second Dao-Comprehension Blessing function…

On the 9,000th inheritance staircase, inside another inheritance divine hall not far from Lu Qingshan.

On this staircase, a werewolf figure clad in purple battle armor was quietly receiving the Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance.

If the other Hei Fengwang Undying in the other inheritance divine halls were to witness this scene, it would make everyone doubt their life!

One must understand that these inheritance staircases become increasingly difficult the further one goes!

Lu Qingshan was already quite compatible with this Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance, and even used the heaven-defying Dao-Comprehension Blessing function from the chat group, yet until now he had only made it through the 6,666th inheritance staircase.

As for the other Hei Fengwang Undying receiving the Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance, the fastest among them had only just made it past the 2,500th-something inheritance staircase, and many of them hadn't even passed the 2,000th inheritance staircase yet!

And this purple-armored werewolf powerhouse was precisely the Hei Fengwang Undying of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, Lord Qianwu!

At this moment, Lord Qianwu's heart was undoubtedly extremely stirred.

After all, being able to reach the 9,000th inheritance staircase in just over a year—even a fool could sense how special he was, let alone a Hei Fengwang Undying like Lord Qianwu.

"It seems I must be extremely compatible with this Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance!"

After fully receiving the Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance on the 9,000th staircase, Lord Qianwu couldn't help sighing in his heart: "I never thought that I, Qianwu, could have this day!"

"Not letting my teacher help me apply for a Magic Sound Divine General inheritance slot earlier was absolutely the wisest decision of my life!"

One must understand that as a peak Hei Fengwang powerhouse, Lord Qianwu had long since accumulated the wealth needed to receive a Divine General inheritance.

And as a member of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, applying to receive a Divine General inheritance was naturally a relatively simple matter for him.

It's just that the Divine General inheritances within the human race were quite limited, and those suitable for enhancing soul amplitude were only the Magic Sound Divine General inheritance and the Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance!

Before the Magic Sound Divine General inheritance opened, Lord Qianwu's teacher had once considered helping him apply.

It's just that after much deliberation, Lord Qianwu felt the Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance might suit him better, and so he gave up the chance to receive the Magic Sound Divine General inheritance.

And now it seemed this Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance wasn't merely suitable for him—it was extremely suitable for him!

"Just one thousand more inheritance staircases!"

Lord Qianwu gazed into the distance at the towering palace at the very top of the inheritance staircase, his eyes full of excitement: "As long as I can make it there and receive the complete Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance, I'll be able to become a Seven-Star Overlord!"

Thinking of this, Lord Qianwu quickly stepped onto the 9,001st staircase!
