Chapter 374: Continuing to Misappropriate

Boom—!

In the next moment, Qingxia Daoist Sovereign seemed to hear the sound of vast thunder, as if ten million bolts of lightning surged forward.

Upon hearing this majestic figure, Qingxia Daoist Sovereign's expression froze, her face changing in an instant.

She had no time to worry; a beam of pure golden light appeared in her hand, the incense palace lamp flew out from above her head, and strands of spiritual power condensed in her palm, pouring into the Two Worlds Pool.

With her spiritual power supporting it, this Two Worlds Pool finally calmed down.

"It seems the efficacy of this oldest Two Worlds Pool is still somewhat weak; a portion of the divine materials inside has been struck too many times, the sealing formation has loosened, and it needs to be repaired again..."

This thought flashed through Qingxia Daoist Sovereign's mind.

In an instant, golden light surged in the nine-colored pool water, followed immediately by a majestic incense golden body flying out from within.

The incense was intense, the golden light dazzling.

Qingxia Daoist Sovereign was somewhat dazed!

In Qingxia Daoist Sovereign's former eyes, this was nothing less than a fortune falling from the sky.

Now it had become pure 'bricks', so numerous that even the Daoist Sovereign was pressed 'to death'!

In her slightly helpless gaze, one after another golden light continued to fly out, collected by the incense palace lamp in her hand.

The nine-colored pool water churning inside the Two Worlds Pool seemed never to cease.

In the blink of an eye, twelve incense golden bodies had flown out.

And it still had not stopped!

The thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth... Qingxia Daoist Sovereign's eyes changed.

Who knows what that person below did, but they actually managed to produce such terrifyingly flawless incense.

After a moment, Qingxia Daoist Sovereign drew a deep breath; as the final strand of golden light flew into the incense golden lamp, she saw that within the lamp, a hundred and ninety-odd golden rings of light had begun to spread.

That was one hundred and ninety million flawless incense.

This time, it was fully half more than last time!

Qingxia Daoist Sovereign gazed at the dazzling golden light, as if the incense palace lamp were about to ascend to the rank of a postnatal spiritual treasure, and she sucked in a breath of cold air.

How could she possibly repay this?

At the same time, her eyes remained fixed on the Two Worlds Pool.

The omen within the Two Worlds Pool had not yet been quelled.

Roar!

Then, from within the Two Worlds Pool came the sound of a majestic dragon's roar, followed shortly by the clear cry of a phoenix emerging from within.

The illusory forms of dragon and phoenix intertwined and took shape, wandering in the depths of the void.

Boom—!

In an instant, deep in the azure heavens, in the unseen depths, multiple layers of heavenly and earthly great Dao rules descended from the void.

"Life and death, reincarnation, space, fortune, the earth..."

Just a glance, and Qingxia Daoist Sovereign's scalp went numb; she could be certain that the treasure about to be born would have a value beyond compare.

At this moment, Qingxia Daoist Sovereign deeply knew that she was utterly doomed.

The value of such a treasure was certainly not low.

Repaying it would not be so easy.

Sure enough, not long after, in the depths of the void, a strand of innate divine rhythm was born from within the Two Worlds Pool.

A special innate merit spiritual treasure emerged.

Dragon and phoenix intertwined, a purple dragon and azure phoenix.

In the core, amid the swirling purple qi, a treasure book of interwoven purple and azure hues appeared.

Upon the treasure book appeared four heavenly Dao divine seal scripts.

Divine light radiated, the authority weighty.

Even Qingxia Daoist Sovereign could not help but be moved.

The value of this treasure alone might well surpass that of the previous Five Dragon Halberd.

Qingxia Daoist Sovereign could not help but feel curiosity; reaching out, she took it into her hand, slightly refined it, and in an instant, the profound mystery of this treasure entered her heart.

Her expression grew solemn, and in her eyes, a hint of joy could not help but appear.

"Purple Azure Treasure Book, or rather, called the Merit and Fortune Treasure Book!"

This is also an innate spiritual treasure of merit endowed with an innate divine prohibition.

The function of this treasure is very simple: one need only inscribe one's name in the book to receive the blessing of the Merit and Fortune Great Dao.

Ordinarily it may not be of much use, but if one adds one's name at a critical moment, it might turn misfortune into fortune and allow escape from death.

Without a doubt, this is a great treasure.

Moreover, it is a rare merit spiritual treasure.

Its value exceeds that of the Five Dragon Halberd by more than double.

Merit spiritual treasures are scarce even among high-ranking immortals, for this is a life-saving object.

Possessing merit, one's chance to escape calamity is always higher than others'.

No one would sell such a treasure; rather, after refining it, they keep it close at hand.

But the problem has also come.

For such a precious object, what should be used to 'exchange equally'?

On Qingxia Daoist Sovereign's beautiful face appeared a wry smile; the few treasures on her person were certainly not enough.

"It seems I can only choose again from the public treasury; anyway, I've already misused it once, so one more time doesn't matter!"

Qingxia Daoist Sovereign furrowed her brows, only to discover that there were almost no treasures in the 'public treasury' that could compare with it.

If it really doesn't work, I might as well go to the Jade Pool Treasure Vault to look for something...

The expression of 'Qingxia Daoist' changed; his true identity as Qingxia Daoist was no ordinary one, especially his relationship with the Jade Pool Holy Mother, which was extremely special, and he enjoyed her utmost trust, while also being in charge of the Jade Pool Treasure Vault.

In the Jade Pool Holy Mother's treasure vault, there must be some high-grade rare treasures...

But in an instant, 'Qingxia Daoist' suppressed this dangerous thought, for using the items inside the Jade Pool Treasure Vault—if discovered...

"Forget it, I'll just choose something from the public treasury..."

Having come up with a more 'dangerous' plan, 'Qingxia Daoist' could now calmly select from the 'public treasury'.

In the 'public treasury', there were hardly any treasures comparable to the 'Purple-Green Treasure Scroll', but some were slightly inferior, half a level lower, and could still be used in a pinch.

As 'Qingxia Daoist' focused his mind, his form vanished into the depths of the void, and after a moment he returned, gazing at the object in his hand, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her eyes.

The treasure in her hand was quite special—it was an old item once held by the 'Hundred Flowers Fairy', originally meant to be returned to her after she resumed her position.

But borrowing it temporarily for 'use' should cause no harm.

At worst, after selling the 'Five Dragon Halberd' in her hand, she could repay it with an equivalent treasure.

'Qingxia Daoist' had this thought flash through her mind, and with a raise of her hand she flung the treasure out, where it instantly fell into the Two Worlds Pool.

However, as this treasure pierced the Two Worlds Pool, countless thunderclouds condensed in its depths.

Boom—boom—boom!

In the depths of the void beneath heaven and earth, it seemed as if boundless thunderbolts coiled and surged, as if some terrifying extraordinary treasure had been born, drawing the gaze of countless terrifying existences between heaven and earth.

"Over the limit?"

Gazing at this scene, 'Qingxia Daoist's' expression shifted slightly, a talisman appearing in her hand; she pinched it to shatter, and in an instant it transformed into a hazy radiance that enveloped the surroundings of the Two Worlds Pool, suppressing this terrible omen.

In the Ancestral Temple, Zhang Jian had been cultivating here all along, while waiting for feedback from the 'Ancestors'.

At this moment, his expression stirred, he opened his eyes, and gazing into the void he saw that before the majestic 'Ancestral Golden Body', a spatial passage suddenly opened, and in an instant a streak of spiritual light flew out, landing in his hand.

"What is this..."

Zhang Jian gazed at the nine-colored treasure light in his hand, while a message entered his mind.

"Essence of the Earth, Nine-Color Sacred Soil??"
