Chapter 734: Ning Tian Continent

The land where the Heavenly Tomb fell lies at the border of Xin Region in the Western Realm of Ning Tian Continent.

Not long after the Heavenly Tomb fell, many cultivators from this region who were training here or seeking resources rushed over.

"Such terrifying power," said a Ning Tian Continent cultivator, staring at the horrific scene and swallowing hard.

"That's obvious—such a massive piece of land crashing down, if it hit within the region, it could destroy an entire major city."

Standing on this charred ground, a wave of infernal heat rushed toward them; cultivators with weak cultivation realms dared not approach—standing on this land made one feel their feet burning, as if walking on hot coals.

Although Ning Tian Continent is not a super-continent of the Great Thousand World, its area is still extremely vast, with countless strong experts and myriad races scattered across it.

Ning Tian Continent stretches boundlessly, immense and endless; to put it mildly, its expanse is certainly no lesser than that of the Dou Qi Continent.

"Huh? These black crystals…"

At this moment, some bold cultivators entered the meteor crater and picked up a piece of the Heavenly Tomb's outer shell crystal, examining it closely.

"This looks like a Forge God Stone!" Suddenly, a young man beside them remembered something and exclaimed.

"Forge God Stone? What's that?"

"This stone is a rare marvel—it possesses a miraculous ability: to forge and temper Spiritual Artifacts. No matter what kind of Spiritual Artifact you have, if you hammer and refine it with this stone, absorbing its unique power, your artifact's quality will inevitably rise a level!"

Hearing this, the young man looked at the object in his hand—a black, dull stone, its surface smooth, somewhat like obsidian, with no Shen Mi Zhi Yi visible at all.

So when someone mentioned "Forge God Stone," many gathered around, but most stared at him as if he were a fool, deeming it unbelievable, since there were plenty of such stones scattered everywhere in the crater.

How could a treasure capable of enhancing Spiritual Energy quality be found everywhere? It was probably just a piece of broken rock—how dare he treat it as a treasure? Did they think they were idiots?

"Even if you're lying, pick a better excuse—if this were an Upper-Class Spirit Artifact, wouldn't one hammer strike turn it into an Ultimate Spiritual Artifact?" someone sneered, drawing laughter from others who found it impossible.

If this were truly such a treasure, and it was everywhere here, that would be absurd!

Hearing the doubts, the young man who claimed it was a Forge God Stone smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course it's not that simple—the Forge God Stone does allow Spiritual Artifacts a chance to be re-forged, but… forging inevitably carries failure rates. If it fails, it might cause slight damage to the artifact, possibly downgrading it."

"Go to hell!"

"You scammer—I almost used this to forge my Spiritual Artifact!"

Instantly, countless voices booed and cursed—failure rates? Slight damage? Downgrading? Who knew the success rate? All enhancements are scams!

You're just cheating people!

"Let's go quickly—if we're slow and Xin Region and Lu Region people arrive, we won't even get a sip of the broth."

"Right! Let's go—to that shattered continent. If there's a Supreme's secret treasury, we'll strike it rich!"

Instantly, those cultivators closest to the crater sprinted toward its center, eager to seek opportunities.

The young cultivator mocked by the crowd blushed deeply—he'd merely repeated what he'd read in books.

"Hmph, if you don't want it, I'll pick it up myself." The young man snorted. With his low strength, it was better to scavenge broken rocks than venture into the crater's center or onto that shattered continent for opportunities.

Besides, if these really were Forge God Stones, he could still trade them for some Spiritual Energy points.

Of course, if they knew this wasn't merely a fragment of a shattered continent, but an object from the Lower Plane, one still inhabited by living beings, they might not be so bold.

At this moment, in the first layer of the Heavenly Tomb, Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan both frowned. Even though Dou Qi was being eroded and they couldn't leave, their Soul Force Perception still existed—though its range had shrunk drastically, as if suppressed by heaven and earth.

"Many people are approaching."

As the Ning Tian Continent cultivators drew nearer, all within the first layer sensed them.

On the Dou Qi Continent, they had been the strongest, supreme beings of the entire land—but after that strange event, they now felt uneasy and dared not venture out carelessly.

"Never thought we'd encounter this right after arriving in the Great Thousand World," Gu Yuan sighed helplessly. The drop in status was hard to accept—he couldn't even leave now, as if trapped, rejected by the Great Thousand World.

Faced with this unknown threat, everyone was at a loss.

"Has Xiao Yan not awakened yet?" After a silence, Zhu Kun spoke first.

After all, Xiao Yan was the core of them all—Hun Tian Di had vanished, his whereabouts unknown. They didn't know if the Dou Emperor had also suffered that peculiar erosion.

"Brother Xiao Yan has probably sensed we've arrived in the Great Thousand World," Xun Er said.

"Wait a little longer—if they dare enter the Heavenly Tomb, we'll strike," Cai Lin's beautiful eyes flashed with sharpness, her pupils contracting into inverted triangular snake pupils.

During these five years, Cai Lin had not fought much—this did not mean the Queen had grown gentle.

At this moment, the first group of cultivators had already reached the crater's center and saw a massive landmass, like an island, radiating peculiar energy. The extreme heat from the impact had heated the Heavenly Tomb's outer black crystals, causing wisps of white vapor to rise, wrapping the Heavenly Tomb in a layer of mist.

"Is this an island?"

"It seems so."

The Heavenly Tomb resembled a small island; its Dou Qi-maintained array had shattered, causing Dou Qi to leak out. The Dou Qi, eroded by the Great Thousand World's Spiritual Energy, formed a strange phenomenon.

"Look at this island—those black stones we saw earlier were just pieces of this island's rock, transformed by the high heat during impact."

"I told you—it's not some Forge God Stone, just rotten rocks."

The entire Heavenly Tomb was glossy black, appearing as if forged from cold iron; now, due to the Dou Qi array, it emitted a stream of energy vapor.

"Let's go up," said a powerful cultivator who had observed for a while, addressing his companion.

"Hehehe, let's go take a look too." Seeing no incident occur after others entered the island, some cultivators, emboldened, decided to follow and search for treasures.

"Hope we find a Supreme's legacy—that'd be a fortune!"

"Don't daydream—if there is a Supreme's legacy, it won't choose you," someone glanced at him and laughed.

"Even without a legacy, these shattered continents usually hold ancient Secret Treasures," said a bald monk, smiling.

With one entering, another followed—gradually, many cultivators flew into the Heavenly Tomb, hoping to loot treasures.

When the cultivators landed, they looked around the island and realized it held nothing—just a flat plain.

A few scattered mounds of earth remained, formed by soil that fell during impact; no grass, no trees, no life—just a dead, silent island.

"What the hell? There aren't even any buildings!"

"Yeah, this is such a scam!"

"No, no—you've got to dig into those black stones—beneath them is a Space Seal!" Due to the impact, the black crystals had cracked and fallen away, revealing a large section of the Heavenly Tomb's Barrier.

!!!!

As soon as the words were spoken, each cultivator drew their weapons, unleashed their techniques, and shattered the Heavenly Tomb's Black Shell into pieces, exposing the Space Seal of the Heavenly Tomb's first layer.

"Damn, this seal is incredibly hard!"

"Even my Upper-Class Spirit Artifact can't budge it."

For a moment, many exchanged glances—such a powerful seal was no ordinary thing; even a Three Heavens Realm or Soul Spirit Trial expert could not have forged it.

"Supreme Secret Treasury!"

All of them thought of those four characters at once—this must be the legacy left behind by a Supreme!

The cultivation system of the Great Thousand World differs from that of the Dou Qi Continent; the first realm one enters in cultivation is the Sensory Realm, meaning one can sense Heavenly Earth Spirit Qi. The second realm is Spirit Movement Realm, where one draws Spiritual Energy into the body. The third realm is Spirit Wheel Realm, where Spiritual Energy condenses into wheels within the body.

After that comes Soul Spirit Realm, a pivotal realm, where experts refine Spirit Beast Essence.

After Soul Spirit Realm come the Three Heavens Realm, Fusion Heaven Realm, Transformation Heaven Realm, and Penetration Heaven Realm.

After Penetration Heaven Realm, one endures three trials: Body Trial, Spirit Power Trial, and Soul Spirit Trial; passing all three allows one to transcend mortality and reach the so-called Supreme Realm.

The Supreme Realm is the hallmark of Great Thousand World experts; there is a saying that all beneath the Supreme are but ants.

And the Supreme Secret Treasury is naturally the treasure legacy left behind by a Supreme.

As the words "Supreme Secret Treasury" appeared, countless people gasped for breath, nearly losing their sanity, desperate to rush inside right now.

"Damn! How do we open this Supreme Secret Treasury?" A Soul Spirit Trial expert launched furious attacks, but no matter how hard he strained, he could not tear open the space.

In the Great Thousand World, only Supremes of Four Grade Bloodline or higher have the authority to control Space Power.

"Don't worry—this Supreme Secret Treasury's Space Seal is rapidly fading. I think it won't take long before it vanishes completely and reveals what's inside."

The Heavenly Tomb was originally a creation of the Dou Qi Continent; the space distortion sustaining it naturally used Dou Qi. But since the Heavenly Tomb was built by a Dou Emperor, it was far more resilient—even the Great Thousand World needed time to assimilate this space.

Yet these people had no idea that everything they said and did was heard.

Seeing the outer shell of her own Heavenly Tomb being carelessly dismantled, exposing the first-layer space protection, even Xiao Yixian and Xun Er's eyes darkened with displeasure—not to mention Cai Lin and the others.
