Chapter 1135: Purple Mansion Rare Treasure — Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda (First Update)

This was an ice-blue precious pearl, slowly radiating a dense, cold aura, increasing the might of the Kill Break Wolf Forbidden Array.

Just by taking a single glance, Li Zhangsheng felt it looked familiar, because this was precisely one of the pearls missing from the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda.

At the same time, the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda within his Consciousness Sea began to tremble violently.

Li Zhangsheng was exceptionally overjoyed; unable to wait, he broke through the array eye and grabbed the ice-blue pearl in one hand.

An icy cold aura surged into his body along his skin; Li Zhangsheng shivered intensely, then immediately summoned the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda.

The next moment, the ice-blue pearl turned into a streak of light, embedding itself into the seventh-level groove of the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda.

After another pearl was integrated, the momentum of the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda became increasingly astonishing.

From the feedback of his Mental Power, the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda had directly reached the peak of a Mid-grade World Wonder; Li Zhangsheng believed that as long as he collected one more pearl, it would definitely reach the Zifu Qizhen level.

After the array eye was broken, the Kill Break Wolf Forbidden Array shook violently, shattered, and vanished from sight.

The scene before his eyes changed abruptly, and Li Zhangsheng discovered that he was currently standing on the first step.

"If my expectations are correct, the ancient Star Emperor set up a forbidden array on every step as a test for the inheritor, and at the eye of every forbidden array, there would be a treasure as a sweet reward for breaking the array."

Looking at the remaining eight steps, Li Zhangsheng had his own guesses.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng stepped onto the second step.

Just as he expected, the scene before his eyes changed again, and he was once more amidst the stars in the sky.

This time it was another star-type forbidden array, but this time there were only two nodes: one transformed into a Great Sun Golden Crow, and the other transformed into a Taiyin Jade Rabbit, forming a Yin Yang Fish pattern that slowly rotated in the air, while countless golden or blue rays shot toward Li Zhangsheng from all directions.

Li Zhangsheng sat cross-legged on the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform, turning a blind eye to the incoming attacks, still silently observing the operation of the forbidden array.

These rays landed on the Starlight Barrier, only able to stir up wisps of ripples; although the attack intensity was not much different from the Kill Break Wolf Forbidden Array, it had the advantage of being endless.

Even so, it was still within the defensive range of the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng figured out the principle of the forbidden array and began to maneuver the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform to roam within the array, soon arriving at the array eye.

Like the Kill Break Wolf Forbidden Array, the Yin Yang Forbidden Array also had a treasure suppressing the array eye.

This was another precious pearl, only this time it was earthy yellow.

Without a doubt, this was another one of the pearls lost by the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda.

Li Zhangsheng revealed a joyful expression and couldn't wait to break the array eye to seize the pearl.

The next moment, the earthy yellow pearl turned into a streak of brilliance and instantly fell into the fifth-level groove of the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda.

The moment the two became one, the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda began to tremble violently, and dense buzzing sounds echoed in the void, reverberating endlessly in all directions.

Judging from the feedback of his Mental Power, the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda successfully crossed the threshold and reached the Zifu Qizhen level, its might rising by more than just a notch compared to before.

The only pity was that even after reaching the Zifu Qizhen level, the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda still had not developed any other abilities, nor did it have any output.

Judging from this situation, either the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda was man-made, or it was temporarily unable to produce anything due to being incomplete.

The further one went, the smaller the improvement; after embedding four pearls, the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda was still at the early stage of the Zifu Qizhen level.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, for the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda to reach the Langhuan Supreme Treasure level, it would likely take another three or four pearls.

Thinking of this, Li Zhangsheng couldn't help but gaze at the remaining seven steps with anticipation; if things went smoothly enough, the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda would become his first Langhuan Supreme Treasure.

After breaking the Yin Yang Forbidden Array, Li Zhangsheng stepped up another step.

The scene before his eyes changed again; this time the forbidden array had four nodes, located exactly at the four cardinal directions of east, south, west, and north.

Intense Star Power surged: in the east, ancient trees towered; in the south, fierce fires blazed; in the west, Geng Metal stood like a forest; in the north, water flooded the Golden Mountain.

In the blink of an eye, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise were condensed into existence.

"Four Symbols Star Forbidden Array!"

Li Zhangsheng recognized this forbidden array; it was an ancient forbidden array, its mode of operation quite complex, and it was known for its ever-changing nature.

Unfortunately, the first-generation Principal had studied this forbidden array in depth, which also made Li Zhangsheng quite familiar with it, allowing him to easily find the location of the array eye.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng maneuvered the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform to fly toward the northwest.

The White Tiger located in the west let out a roar, and countless golden lights transformed into blades, spears, swords, and halberds, swarming toward Li Zhangsheng.

The Black Tortoise located in the north billowed out a monstrous wave, sweeping down like a Tsunami.

This time, the Starlight Barrier of the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform trembled violently.

Judging purely from the attack intensity, the power of the Four Symbols Star Forbidden Array was clearly much stronger.

Li Zhangsheng hurriedly channeled Star Power into the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform, and the violently fluctuating Starlight Barrier became significantly more stable.

As a price, the Star Power stored in Li Zhangsheng's various Star Apertures was also flowing away rapidly.

Braving the powerful offensive, Li Zhangsheng continued to charge toward the northwest, slightly changing his orientation a few times during the process.

After confirming the location of the array eye, the Huangquan Sword transformed into a sword beam and instantly pierced a certain position.

Crack!

A sound like shattering glass rang out, and the space before him was forcibly torn open, revealing a small array eye space.

Just like before, there was still a precious pearl suppressing the array eye here, only this time it was a silver pearl flickering with Thunder.

After the array eye was broken, the Four Symbols Star Forbidden Array was forced to stop operating and vanished in the blink of an eye.

The silver pearl turned into a streak of light and embedded itself into the eighth-level groove of the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda, and wisps of silver electric sparks crackled and appeared, making the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda look awe-inspiring.

After embedding the fifth pearl, the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda only rose from the early stage of the Zifu Qizhen level to the mid-stage, and both its defensive power and its ability to nurture treasures had gained significant improvement.

"I hope the next step is still a pearl!"

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself and stepped onto the fourth step.

It was another star-type forbidden array, but this time there were seven nodes in total; it was the Big Dipper Seven Stars Forbidden Array.

Compared to the Four Symbols Star Forbidden Array, the Big Dipper Seven Stars Forbidden Array had even greater might, and when the seven stars combined, its power increased greatly, almost breaking through the defense of the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform.

Even so, it was still in a precarious situation; the key was that the Big Dipper Seven Stars Forbidden Array was quite complex, and it would take a lot of time to find the location of the array eye.

During this period, Li Zhangsheng had to use the Nine Apertures Dingyuan Pearl and borrow the power of several Saint Grade Spirit Pets to barely lock onto the location of the array eye.

Unfortunately, this time it was no longer a pearl.
