Chapter 813: 722 Xuantian Object

The girl in the golden dress’s jade-like complexion went through a drastic change, as she was about to attack Chu Buyu.

Chu Buyu spoke, "Do you still not realize your own situation? Do you really think you can escape from a middle-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure with just a sixth-rank Talisman?"

"You better give up resisting! There’s no mercy for those who oppose the master," Shen Die said.

A fifth-rank, middle-stage Shen Die utilized its voice to cast an Illusion Technique. Even late-stage Soul Transformation Cultivators would struggle to escape, let alone a golden-dressed girl in the early stages of Soul Transformation.

The girl’s gaze once again became vacant, her expression bewildered.

By the time she regained her senses, she noticed a silver Talisman gleaming on her body and realized with horror that she couldn’t muster even a trace of Mana, making self-destruction difficult.

A sixth-rank Sealing Spirit Talisman! Capable of temporarily binding the Mana of a Void Refinement Cultivator.

Shen Long had traded for it with a certain Void Refinement Cultivator using three top-grade Six-Petal Gold Soul Pills.

The cultivation resources on the Thunder Continent were abundant, and powerful cultivators abounded; Shen Long and Chu Buyu had obtained many valuable items through exchanges.

"A Sealing Spirit Talisman! Who on earth are you?"

The girl in the golden dress turned ashen.

From beginning to end, she had been suppressed by her opponent, unable to use any of her treasures.

If it had been a head-on confrontation, she wouldn’t have been captured so easily. She had planned to flee while her opponent was preoccupied with her doppelganger, but she hadn’t accounted for an opponent accompanied by a middle-stage fifth-rank Shen Die, leading to her quick capture.

Chu Buyu didn’t bother to reply. Her right hand glowed red as she placed it on the golden-dressed girl’s forehead and cast the Soul Searching Technique.

"Xuantian Object!"

Chu Buyu’s voice trembled, and her gaze grew solemn.

When a realm first emerges, the earliest spirit plants to appear are known as the Xuantian Trees. The fruit of the Xuantian Tree possesses properties that defy the laws of a realm and is also called Xuantian Object, pivotal in refining Xuantian Treasures.

The growth cycle of a Xuantian Tree is exceedingly long: hundreds of thousands if not millions of years, a prospect that deters most.

No wonder the Five Lights Clan placed such importance on Fairy Yulian; it turned out she had a Xuantian Object on her.

If a Xuantian Object appeared on the Thunder Continent, even Mahayana Cultivators would fight tooth and nail for it.

If other powers discovered that Shen Long and Chu Buyu possessed a Xuantian Object, high-rank cultivators would attack them the moment they emerged.

Chu Buyu searched the golden-dressed girl and took out a golden Storage Bracelet. With a flick of her wrist, a swath of golden light swept across, and a large pile of items appeared on the ground.

Her eyes settled on an exquisitely made Golden Jade Box with a silver Talisman stuck to it.

Chu Buyu peeled off the Silver Talisman and opened the lid, revealing a flat, stick-shaped object.

"Is this the Xuantian Object?"

Chu Buyu murmured to herself as she picked up the stick-shaped object for a closer look. It seemed like an ordinary piece of wood with nothing special about it.

"If you want to kill me, then kill me!"

The golden-dressed girl said with a cold face.

"I didn’t plan to kill you; we’re both from the Human Clan, and the Five Lights Clan is our enemy," Chu Buyu responded.

The girl in the golden dress was slightly startled and asked, "Then how do you intend to deal with me?"

"Let’s wait for my husband to arrive before deciding! How should I address you?" Chu Buyu inquired.

"Your husband! Just call me Lin Lian," said the golden-dressed girl, taken aback.

At this moment, she was like fish on the chopping block, completely at the mercy of others. Chu Buyu could easily take her life if she wished.

"I advise you not to play any tricks, or don’t blame me for being unkind," Chu Buyu warned.

Lin Lian’s Mana had been bound; she had no means to attempt any deceit, but Chu Buyu gave a preemptive reminder nonetheless.

Being from the same clan, Chu Buyu had no intention of killing Lin Lian but neither could she let her leave. If word got out, Shen Long and Chu Buyu would face grave danger.

"Don’t worry, I won’t play any tricks, and I can’t," Lin Lian said.

Lin Lian sighed.

Chu Buyu nodded, picked up the items on the ground, and flew out of the Qianhuo Tower with Shen Die.

At this time, the disciples of the Qingyang Sect were still trapped in an illusion technique.

With a single gesture from Chu Buyu, the golden colossal tower quickly shrank and flew into her sleeve.

Chu Buyu put away the Shen Die and left the Qingyang Sect.

...

Zihao Realm, Pegasus Prairie.

Mo Xin, Zhu Qing, and more than thirty Soul Transformation Cultivators stood in an open area, each holding a Law Disk that shimmered with spiritual light.

"After using the Heart Inquiry Disc to interrogate, we all told the truth. The problem lies with Zhu Yue," Mo Xin said in a grave voice.

Cultivators from the Five Lights Clan and the Yaksha Clan of The Lower Realm had gathered here, using the Heart Inquiry Disc to question each other. It was confirmed that Mo Xin hadn’t ordered an attack on Zhu Yang and others and was also unaware of it.

Zhu Yue insisted that the Cultivators from the Five Lights Clan had attacked them and then reported it to their kin in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot. Before Zhu Qing and others descended to The Lower Realm, Zhu Yue had rushed to the front lines where he publicly perished in battle, which was very suspicious.

"That is to say, someone schemed against us. Do you mean it was an avatar of Fairy Yulian?" Zhu Qing asked with a frown.

"Fairy Yulian is a Unity Cultivator, and it wouldn’t be strange for her avatar to possess an extraordinary treasure. Let’s make a bold assumption: Fairy Yulian’s avatar attacked Zhu Yang and others, stole your Yaksha Clan’s items, then controlled Zhu Yue with a treasure, orchestrating all subsequent events," Mo Xin analyzed.

"It doesn’t necessarily have to be Fairy Yulian’s avatar. It could be another High Rank Cultivator trying to stir discord between our two clans," Zhu Qing added.

Their speculations were very close to the truth, but without evidence, everything remained conjecture.

"Since it’s all a misunderstanding, there’s no need to keep fighting. Let’s shake hands and make peace. We should join forces to find the culprit. No matter how strong their divine skills, they can be at most at the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation," Mo Xin said solemnly.

He planned to partner with the Yaksha Clan to hunt down the culprit together.

"Let’s talk about this later. I need to report to our clan," said Zhu Qing. If the higher-ups had no objections, he would not oppose the idea.

Mo Xin nodded and said, "Alright. I’ll also need to report to my clan. I hope we can find the instigator who provoked the war between our two clans soon."

After some idle chatter, they left the area.

...

Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, Red Scale Mountain Range.

A vast expanse of yellow mist sea, within an underground cave.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu sat cross-legged on blue mats, Shen Long holding a stick-like object, his gaze burning with excitement.

"The Xuantian Object, this is a heaven-defying opportunity!" Shen Long murmured to himself.

His original goal was a seventh-order Absorbing Thunder Pearl, but he had unexpectedly acquired a Xuantian Object. In terms of value, the Xuantian Object was only second to the Myriad Beasts Tower.

"Yes, we thought the Five Lights Clan was after the seventh-order Absorbing Thunder Pearl, but it turned out to be a Xuantian Object. My lord, what do you plan to do with Lin Lian?" Chu Buyu asked.

"My lady said not to kill her, so we won’t kill her. Let her stay and cultivate in the Myriad Beasts Tower. We’ll provide the resources. Whether she can cultivate back to the Unity Realm is up to her, but we certainly can’t let her leave," Shen Long replied.

If it weren’t for Fairy Yulian, Shen Long wouldn’t have been able to acquire a Xuantian Object, so he didn’t intend to kill Lin Lian and instead let her stay in the Myriad Beasts Tower to cultivate.

Chu Buyu nodded and said, "That’s best. It’s a pity she didn’t have a Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure on her."

"It’s likely that Fairy Yulian didn’t have many Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures to begin with, and they were destroyed during the fight with the Unity Cultivators from the Five Lights Clan. Let’s leave this place first," Shen Long reasoned.

They packed up the Formation and left the area.
