Although this Xie Zhi mechanism beast had spirituality and could communicate, it was limited to the Heavenly Craft Hall; it did not know that the Da Li dynasty had already perished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dawn is approaching, your soul is too weak, leave now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Zhi blew gently, and Zhao Xing immediately exited the Heavenly Craft Hall, retreating in one breath to outside the Great Dream Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening his eyes, the familiar mosquito net came into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing felt his chest; there was a pair of pendants and three pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were two Fourth-Rank pills, the Five Viscera Sha-Cleansing Pill and the Giant Whale Pill, and one Third-Rank pill, the Earth Sha Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Sixth-Rank treasure, the Soul Armor, it had merged into his body, directly guarding his sea of consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Sixth-Rank treasure was still a worldly treasure; although peculiar, it could not be called a divine weapon and did not have such a magical effect of merging into the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because it was a sub-body of the peerless treasure \"Sunlight Over the Sky,\" it possessed the same efficacy as a Seventh-Rank \"divine weapon,\" stored directly within the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sunlight Over the Sky... I wonder if this divine weapon is in the Great Dream Academy.\" Zhao Xing thought silently. In the era of the destiny dynasty, there were several peerless wonders that transcended the era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were passed down from ancient times, and due to the dormancy of spiritual energy, they had lost most of their power, only shining again in the era of recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was a chance, Zhao Xing naturally wanted to get his hands on the mother body of the Soul Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xie Zhi said the end of the Heavenly Craft Hall's stages is a rare wonder; it shouldn't be the mother body of the Soul Armor.
