Chapter 301

The so-called Mountain Treasure was a secret treasure that four powerful creatures—the Zhu Yan, Vermilion Bird, Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow, and Qiong Qi—fought over together shortly after the beginning of the Perfect World.

In legend, it contained the inheritance of a supreme being from the higher realm; if one could crack its mysteries, one might reach the peak level of humanity in the future and become a true supreme being.

In fact, this was indeed the case; this Mountain Treasure contained many astonishing inheritances.

Not to mention the powerful precious techniques from various ancient pure-blooded creatures, just the Grass Sword Art, one of the ten fierce beast techniques, and the strongest heavenly art, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art, were enough to arouse the covetousness and greed of powerhouses in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and even the Immortal Realm.

Not to mention that the six-sided bone die, which served as the carrier of the Mountain Treasure, could also be fused with the ancient tripod of Stone Village to restore the "Original True Interpretation" Transcendence Chapter—this was a great opportunity that even an Immortal King would go crazy for, and it was also the key to Shi Hao founding the Shrouding the Heavens Law in the future.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as one obtained the Mountain Treasure, it was equivalent to obtaining a key to the path of the Immortal King; if one was lucky, even the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm was not impossible to hope for...

Back to the main topic.

Several years ago, the result of that fight for the Mountain Treasure ended in the victory of the Zhu Yan.

But this fellow was also unlucky; not long after obtaining the Mountain Treasure, it fell into a lake due to being seriously injured and falling into a coma, and after waking up, it lost many memories, turned into the form of a fur ball, and had been following by Shi Hao's side.

As for the Mountain Treasure, which hid countless secrets, it was buried by him in the silt of that lake before he fell into a coma, but it was discovered and taken away by the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow, who had been observing in secret.

As for later... if following the timeline of the original work, after the Eight Regions suffered a great catastrophe, the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow's master, the Saint Hong Hu, killed the severely injured Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow and obtained the Mountain Treasure from it again, and it wasn't until Shi Hao returned from the higher realm that it was handed back to him.

As a transmigrator, Wu Xian had a very deep impression of this plot, and he also knew that the Mountain Treasure of this period should still be in the hands of the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow.

With such an opportunity right before his eyes, he didn't want to waste decades of time waiting, so he simply set up this trap, helping the Gourd Vine recover and then directly break through, in order to lure the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow to his door so he could capture it.

Otherwise, with its Venerable Realm cultivation, plus the ability of birds to be good at escaping, he really might not be able to catch the other party in the vast wilderness.

Of course, there was also the reason of catching it off guard.

After all, the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow wouldn't have thought that Wu Xian would go to such a great length, helping the Gourd Vine recover and helping it break through, only for the real goal to be him—who could he reason with about this?

"Mountain Treasure..."

After hearing Wu Xian's words, the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow's pupils suddenly contracted, its eyes struggling incomparably, having both reluctance and anger, but in the end, it was replaced by fear and the desire to survive, and it said with a trembling voice:

"I can hand over the Mountain Treasure, but you must guarantee to spare my life and let me leave here."

"Guarantee?"

Wu Xian sneered, cold light flashing in his eyes, "I gave you face, didn't I? What kind of status do you have to be worthy of me making a promise?"

After saying that, his palm, which was radiating a blue halo, slammed onto the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow's forehead.

In an instant, a powerful spiritual force fluctuation spread out, as if it had transformed into an invisible blue palm, forcibly tearing through the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow's mental defenses, ravaging and reading its memories amidst its screams, and branding his own primordial spirit mark, enslaving it completely.

Dual-Handed Skill—Rune-Reinforced Version!

The Eight Strange Skills mastered by Wu Xian originally came from the Main God Space; their essence was similar to the original version but also completely different, having many traces of orthodox cultivation, so they could also be disassembled and analyzed using the rune analysis method, thereby being reinforced.

For example, the Dual-Handed Skill that Wu Xian was currently displaying would originally have been difficult to break through the mental defense line of a Venerable-level cultivator, but after more than a year of his research and verification with the Original True Interpretation, it could now easily toy with the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow's mental will.

Its power and effect could not be mentioned in the same breath as before, and in some aspects, it could even stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the inheritances of some top-tier major sects.

"So that's how it is, you carry it with you?"

After finishing reading the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow's memories, Wu Xian raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "That's right, such an important thing, you certainly wouldn't feel at ease putting it anywhere else; if someone were to raid your nest, that would really be funny."

The Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow did not answer; its eyes, which were originally like blood moons, had already been replaced by deep, dark blue. Upon hearing Wu Xian's words, it opened its mouth, activated its innate divine ability, and took out a six-sided bone die that was hidden in its internal space.

Wu Xian looked at it with disdain, raised his hand to wave out a ball of Phoenix flames, cleaning the non-existent dirt on it, and only then did he collect it into his own inner universe Cave Heaven.

At this time, a tremor came from the dark pit in the distance, and a figure bathed in golden light flew out from it, its aura slightly withered; clearly, the strike from the thunder just now had caused it not-insignificant injuries.

In Cave Heaven City, the various factions who were peeping through secret techniques were terrified, as if they had seen their own future, secretly praying that the Blood-Hand Demon Child would not come to their territory to go crazy. Otherwise, with this terrifying combat power, who could bear it.

"This child's combat power is stronger than imagined, and even the power of a god cannot shake him in the slightest. How far has he gone in the Cave Heaven Realm."

Someone sighed, looking at Wu Xian through the secret technique with extremely complicated eyes.

"This combat power is absolutely abnormal. Even the peerless evildoer of the Nine Cave Heavens is not so exaggerated!"

An old man from an ancient sacred mountain said so. He was very sure, because their clan had a genius who opened nine Cave Heavens. This was a realm that only existed in ancient books, but compared to the Demon Child, it was a world of difference.

"Could it be Ten Cave Heavens?"

A powerhouse of a major faction murmured, feeling it was very possible.

"The legendary taboo? It is said that it is a realm that should not exist. Even the Ten Fiends of the ancient times might not be able to reach it. Only the strongest True Dragon cubs have absolute certainty."

"If it's true, wouldn't this Demon Child be able to compare with the Ten Fiends of the same age!"

"Too terrifying, what is his origin? Could he really be a transformation of the Ten Fiends?!"

At this moment, the Void God Realm and even the people in the outside world who learned the news were discussing, guessing Wu Xian's identity and origin and whether he really opened ten Cave Heavens, gradually forming a craze.

Just at this time, a strange object flickered in the sky of the Yu Clan's blessed land. The heavens seemed to have heard their discussion, and a light group descended, appearing in front of Wu Xian.

At the same time, a stone stele floated up, with crystal characters on it, flashing rosy light. This was the record stele of the Void God Realm.

【Subduing the divine decree, combat power is unparalleled, rewarding two bronze fragments.】

Seeing this scene, everyone was first surprised, and then felt it was a matter of course. After all, having defeated the divine decree, it would be strange if the Void God Realm did not reward him!

"Wait! Those two bronze fragments!"

A powerhouse of a major faction suddenly reacted, staring at the two bronze pieces through the treasure tool, his breathing becoming a bit heavy.

"The supreme reward of the Void God Realm in legend. It is said that as long as you collect ten bronze fragments, you can obtain a peerless precious technique from them. Some people guess that it is likely a complete Ten Fiends precious technique!"

"The Void God Realm actually took out such a reward. Is this the gold content of defeating a god?"

"A complete Ten Fiends precious technique, what a huge opportunity..."

"But they are now in the hands of the Demon Child. His combat power is too terrifying. We cannot snatch these two fragments from his hands."

"What are you afraid of? He is only invincible in the Cave Heaven Realm. In the future, when he enters a higher realm, he may not be so strong. At that time, we will make full preparations and attack together. Maybe we can succeed!"

"Well said!"
