Chapter 782: The Heavenly Martial Treasury, Supreme Emperor!

A primordial tower pierced the void, heading toward a place called Chaos Corner.

Fang Yu wished to refine the Ninefold Soul-Returning Elixir, but it was not enough to simply possess the Soul-Devouring Sacred Beast—he must also purchase various spiritual herbs and rare treasures, such as Seven-Union Flower, Forget-Sorrow Grass, Great Joy Fruit, and Water-Essence Lotus; these auxiliary materials were equally vital.

Only when all the herbs were gathered could he light the furnace and begin refining.

Chaos Corner was a continent relatively near the Infinite Great World, a vast market teeming with chaos, where all manner of beings mingled—masters of every kind could be found, many sects conducted business here, cultivators who had acquired fine magic treasures sold their wares here, and numerous Sanxiumen Sects lived here, even branches of the Infinite Star Palace were stationed here.

Here, with sufficient elixirs, one could buy anything.

The several auxiliary herbs needed to refine the Ninefold Soul-Returning Elixir were exceedingly rare, but with enough Yang-Essence Elixirs, they could all be purchased here.

This was why Fang Yu had come here.

The Primordial Tower trembled, traversing space and time, arriving directly before a floating continent.

The continent before him was immense, comparable to countless stars crushed into a single landmass, evoking the feeling of the Xuan Huang Great World's oceans.

The Xuan Huang Great World was vast, equivalent to the combined mass of a hundred billion stars, and its oceans were equally immense, formed by the crushing of countless stars.

In ancient times, supreme warriors of the Xuan Huang Great World battled and gambled by capturing stars from the heavens to fill their oceans, yet even after relocating dozens of stars, they could not fill even a corner of the sea.

Plucking stars and swapping moons was a testament to how ancient warriors of the Xuan Huang Great World competed in strength and magic power.

The Chaos Corner before him lay upon a continent named Chaos Continent, boundless in size.

Such a continent, floating in the void, emitted a powerful allure, compelling cultivators to investigate.

From Chunan Young Master's memories, Fang Yu had also learned some secrets of Chaos Continent, but he would need to explore them gradually later.

Inside the Primordial Tower, Fang Yu reached out and seized from the Soul-Devouring Sacred Beast's body a Dragon-Transformation Gourd.

The gourd was purple-yellow, with dragons seemingly slithering across its surface—it was another Dao Artifact.

Indeed, a lower-grade Dao Artifact.

Lower-grade Dao Artifact: Dragon-Transformation Gourd—a gourd capable of dissolving beings with Heavenly Dragon bloodline, capable of subduing dragon clans and converting their flesh and blood into Dragon Power.

If one stored one's elixirs within the Dragon-Transformation Gourd, the elixirs' spiritual essence would increase.

He did not know where the Soul-Devouring Sacred Beast had obtained the Dragon-Transformation Gourd, but now it belonged to Fang Yu.

After extracting the Dragon-Transformation Gourd, Fang Yu did not immediately retrieve its elixirs; instead, he pointed a finger, and a great sealing technique seeped into the gourd, sealing a divine thunder within, then he gestured.

Nine black, egg-sized pellets and one sphere the size of a human head flew out.

Nine small, one large—endlessly self-renewing.

"Damn, Brother Yu, he actually refined the Mother-Child Daitian Secret Demon Thunderbolts! These are the most powerful thunderbolts in demonic cultivation—each thunderbolt requires the souls of a hundred million living beings to refine, and must be infused with all manner of poisonous energies; if one detonates up close, even a Longevity Secret Realm Wan Shou giant will be obliterated!"

Fang Han's face showed astonishment—he had not expected the Soul-Devouring Sacred Beast to have refined such an abominable yet immensely powerful thunderbolt.

Mother-Child Daitian Secret Demon Thunderbolts—he had heard of them from Yan, and refining even one was an atrocity requiring the slaughter of a hundred million living beings and the harvesting of their souls; only the most cruel Grand Elders of the Huangquanmo Sect could possibly refine such things, and ordinary Huangquanmo Sect cultivators would never dare.

But Fang Han had never imagined he would see Mother-Child Daitian Secret Demon Thunderbolts here.

The nine small and one large indicated the Soul-Devouring Sacred Beast had slain one billion ordinary living beings.

Truly deserving of death.

"This Soul-Devouring Sacred Beast truly deserves to die for refining such thunderbolts. Brother Han, if you don't mind, I'll give you this—handle it properly."

Fang Yu shook his head; he would not keep such thunderbolts, and directly gifted the Mother-Child Daitian Secret Demon Thunderbolts to Fang Han.

"This… alright."

Fang Han grunted and accepted the Mother-Child Daitian Secret Demon Thunderbolts.

"Let me see how many Yang-Essence Elixirs are inside this Dragon-Transformation Gourd."

Fang Yu gestured, and the elixirs within the Dragon-Transformation Gourd poured forth like a severed celestial river, each Yang-Essence Elixir shooting out in a stream.

Pile upon pile—thirty thousand piles in total, each pile containing ten thousand elixirs: thirty million Yang-Essence Elixirs.

Moreover, these Yang-Essence Elixirs were coated with a powerful dragon breath; within each elixir, a phantom golden dragon seemed to coil and glide.

Thirty million Yang-Essence Elixirs!

This was a decent haul—enough to violently empower a high-grade Dao Artifact.

The thirty million Yang-Essence Elixirs settled into the Primordial Tower; neither Fang Qingxue nor Fang Han had any thought of dividing them—Fang Han had already received the Mother-Child Daitian Secret Demon Thunderbolts, capable of killing ancient giants, and Fang Qingxue was still absorbing the Eight-Bu True Dragon Qi beneath the Eight-Story Pagoda, so she naturally would not take these Yang-Essence Elixirs.

The thirty million Yang-Essence Elixirs belonged to Fang Yu—a considerable fortune; moreover, the Soul-Devouring Sacred Beast possessed no other wealth.

Of course, for a demonic beast, possessing thirty million Yang-Essence Elixirs was already immense wealth; this Soul-Devouring Sacred Beast had intended to use these thirty million to instantly ascend to the Immortal Body realm, but it met Fang Yu, and all became his.

Fang Yu's gains this time were substantial: one lower-grade Dao Artifact, thirty million Yang-Essence Elixirs—and, of course, the memories within the Soul-Devouring Sacred Beast's mind.

This Soul-Devouring Sacred Beast had devoured the memories of over a billion living beings, and thus knew countless secrets; yet Fang Yu had no need to question it—he simply searched its memories and immediately learned the secrets of several treasuries.

Indeed, several treasury secrets.

One of them was the Heavenly Martial Treasury, established by the Pan Wu Xianzun of the Xuan Huang Great World.

The Xuan Huang Great World held countless treasures and ruins, but the most renowned were the Seven Palaces, Three Treasuries, and One Secret Vault.

The Secret Vault was the secret vault of Hong Meng Daoist.

Among the Three Treasuries, one was called the Heavenly Martial Treasury, established by Pan Wu Xianzun, containing boundless benefits.

In the Yuhua Sect, Hua Tiandu was highly valued because he had obtained Pan Wu Xianzun's high-grade Dao Artifact, the Great Desert Ancient Furnace; this artifact contained secrets to the Heavenly Martial Treasury, hence Hua Tiandu's high status.

Otherwise, given his ambiguous ties to Daotaiyi Sect, he would have been expelled long ago.

Last time, Fang Yu slew Ruyi Zi and intended to seize the high-grade Dao Artifact, the Great Desert Ancient Furnace, to utterly destroy Hua Tiandu's standing in the Yuhua Sect, but unexpectedly, Chi Chi Rongtian of Daotaiyi Sect directly took Hua Tiandu away from the Yuhua Sect, rendering Fang Yu's plan a failure.

Now, from this Soul-Devouring Sacred Beast, Fang Yu had obtained many secrets of the Heavenly Martial Treasury, and thus he too could go there to claim his share.

The Heavenly Martial Treasury contained countless treasures: immortal elixirs, magic treasures, Yang-Essence Elixirs, ancient Dao scriptures—acquire even a fraction, and one's strength would surge forward.

Currently, Fang Yu possessed nearly one billion Yang-Essence Elixirs, a vast fortune within the Yuhua Sect; but if he obtained the treasures of the Heavenly Martial Treasury, his Yang-Essence Elixirs would number in the tens of billions, hundreds of billions, even trillions.

A trillion Yang-Essence Elixirs existed within the Heavenly Martial Treasury.

Yet Fang Yu also learned from the Soul-Devouring Sacred Beast's memories that this treasury would not appear immediately—it must wait several years until the tidal forces between the Xuan Huang Great World and the Immortal Realm shifted before entry was possible.

No one could enter the Heavenly Martial Treasury and seize its treasures now.

Aside from the secrets of the Heavenly Martial Treasury, the Soul-Devouring Sacred Beast also knew of other treasure locations, such as a treasure left behind by a Great Emperor somewhere in the Infinite Great World.

That Great Emperor was called the Extreme Dao Great Emperor, a supreme being who had previously ruled over the Boundless Great World before the Boundless Star Palace.

In the Primeval Era, the Boundless Great World was not ruled by the Boundless Star Palace, but by this Extreme Dao Great Emperor. The history of this Extreme Dao Great Emperor was extremely ancient, traceable even back to the time when the Three Sovereigns of the Mysterious Yellow Great World still existed.

At that time, the Mysterious Yellow Great World had the Three Sovereigns of Antiquity — the Heavenly Sovereign, the Earth Sovereign, and the Human Sovereign — each of whom possessed the cultivation base of an unparalleled immortal. The Extreme Dao Great Emperor was also a standout among immortals, ruling over the Boundless Great World.

Later, the Extreme Dao Great Emperor ascended to the Immortal Realm. After countless years, the Boundless Star Palace rose to power and took over rule of the Boundless Great World.

Yet the legends of the Extreme Dao Great Emperor, and the treasures of the Extreme Dao Great Emperor, still circulated throughout the Boundless Great World. Some who obtained even a sliver of benefit immediately cultivated to an extremely high realm, while other treasures seemed to still lie hidden within the void deep in the Boundless Great World, awaiting discovery.

Of course, Fang Yu was very interested in obtaining such treasures, but for now he still had to wait. He had to raise his cultivation base further — ideally reaching the Longevity Third Layer Grotto-Heaven Realm — before he would even qualify to explore these treasures.

Otherwise, going with only an Undying Body would still make it very easy to fall.
