“Based on his attack and strength, his strength should be on par with He Run. However, the sword he wields is indeed extraordinary. It should be the Celestial Sword he obtained from this heaven-rank treasure vault!” Many Bodiless Celestials took notice of the sword that Zhang Yi wielded.
Although both Zhang Yi and He Run’s strength was the same, Zhang Yi had easily killed He Run. The Bodiless Celestials could easily see it was due to the sword that Zhang Yi wielded. It was obvious that the sword was a Celestial Sword. When a cultivator at Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage wielded a Celestial Sword, he or she would have strength comparable to an Eminent Celestial!
“Celestial Sword!” The Bodiless Celestials were staring at the sword in Zhang Yi’s hand greedily.
“Celestial Masters Sect of Yan Huang Realm?” A hint of fear could be seen in the eyes of the old man who came from the same sect as He Run when he heard someone say the person who killed He Run was from the Celestial Masters Sect. His fear was only natural since the Celestial Masters Sect was one of the top forces in Yan Huang Realm. Even among the top forces, the Celestial Masters Sect was quite extraordinary.
Although the sect the old man was from was not one of the top forces in his realm, he was not from Yan Huang Realm. For this reason, the fear in his eyes disappeared quickly as he thought to himself, ‘So what if he’s from the Celestial Masters Sect? It shouldn’t matter if I don’t kill him, I can still snatch his Celestial Sword away!’ In his opinion, he would not offend the Celestial Masters Sect as long as he did not kill Zhang Yi. After all, Zhang Yi could only blame himself for being incompetent and could not protect the Celestial Sword from being taken away.
Whoosh!
It did not take long before the Mirror Image disappeared with a soft noise.
At this moment, all the Bodiless Celestials were filled with greed after watching the scene transmitted by the Mirror Image. Before the Mirror Image, all of them were unaware of what happened in the heaven-rank treasure vault, and they were not certain if anyone had obtained the Celestial Supreme Treasure in the treasure vault. They feel assured now that they knew the Celestial Supreme Treasure had been obtained, it was just that the person had not come out. Although they knew all of the more than 100 people that entered the heaven-rank treasure vault had died, they were not afraid. After all, those people who entered the heaven-rank treasure vault were not Bodiless Celestials. Most of their strength was not comparable to Bodiless Celestials at all.
“I can’t wait for them to come out!”
“Be patient! They’ll have to come out eventually!”
Initially, some Bodiless Celestials had already gotten impatient and were prepared to leave. However, after watching the Mirror Image, all of them had discarded the idea of leaving. All of them were eagerly staring at the entrance of the underground palace, waiting for the people inside to come out.
…
In the northern region of the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
In a misty valley surrounded by ice mountains, Gan Ru Yan bade farewell to Qing Huo and the Old Prophet. At this moment, she was prepared to enter the black hole in the void.
“Master, Senior Prophet… I’m going in now.”
Now that Gan Ru Yan had broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, she was ready to enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone. Naturally, she was unaware that she was about to enter the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, not the Sword Saint Secret Zone.
“Since Si Ling is cultivating, I won’t kiss her goodbye. Please take good care of her,” Gan Ru Yan said before she left. Before Qing Huo or the Old Prophet could respond, she had already disappeared into the black hole.
Qing Huo sighed when he saw this. In the end, he could not stop his direct disciple from entering the Sword Saint Secret Zone. Although he wanted to accompany her, he was prohibited from entering due to being a non-Bodiless Celestial who was more than 100 years old.
…
Somewhere in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone.
A lady who had just exited a human-rank treasure vault muttered to herself, “This… Eldest sister has come in as well?” The woman was holding a Feng Shui compass at this time. Her beautiful eyes looked at the Feng Shui compass for a moment before she flew away.
This lady’s hair fell on her back like a waterfall. Her figure was graceful, and her appearance was stunning. More importantly, her appearance was identical to Gan Ru Yan. This lady was none other than Duan Ling Tian’s wife, Ke’er.
If this was a month ago, Ke’er would not have been able to sense Gan Ru Yan’s presence even though they were twins. The reason Ke’er could sense Gan Ru Yan’s presence now was due to the increase in her strength.
Since her cultivation base had improved when she regained some of her memories from her past life, not only did her strength increase, but she discovered her senses to her surroundings were also getting more acute. For this reason, she easily sensed Gan Ru Yan when Gan Ru Yan entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. Naturally, this was also largely due to the blood connection between them.
…
Meanwhile, Gan Ru Yan discovered she was in a stone forest after she entered the black hole. At this moment, she could hear the sounds of explosions as though people were fighting. She heard people roaring as well.
“The Celestial Supreme Treasure is mine!”
“I want this Celestial Supreme Treasure as well!”
Gan Ru Yan moved closer to the commotion and saw a few people fighting. Apart from that, she saw many onlookers standing at the side. She looked around her surroundings before her eyes finally fell on the area below where the people were fighting. She thought to herself, ‘Celestial Supreme Treasure? There’s a Celestial Supreme Treasure here?’
Gan Ru Yan had seen a crescent knife floating above a towering boulder. She could tell the knife was extraordinary with just a glance. She felt her heart beating wildly in her chest as she thought to herself, ‘That must be the Celestial Supreme Treasure!’ She did not expect she would encounter a Celestial Supreme Treasure as soon as she entered the black hole.
Gan Ru Yan suddenly jolted, realizing something was amiss. ‘No! Isn’t this the Sword Saint Secret Zone?’ Only the members from the Seven Absolutes Sect and the people she knew had entered the Sword Saint Secret Zone. Nobody else had come in. Was this place not the Sword Saint Secret Zone? She continued thinking to herself, ‘I remember Senior Prophet saying the key he has to the Sword Saint Secret Zone is not the only key around… Other people might have the key as well! These people probably entered using the other keys.’
Gan Ru Yan continued to study the people in the distance. ‘It seems like these people who are fighting are Bodiless Celestials…’ She discovered that the people who were fighting were much stronger than her. She continued observing the situation before her and eavesdropped on the conversation of the onlookers.
“Who do you think will obtain the Celestial Supreme Treasure in the end?”
“I think one of the two Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestials will obtain the Celestial Supreme Treasure. After all, they are the strongest among the people vying for the Celestial Supreme Treasure. The others don’t stand a chance at all,” a middle-aged man said.
Hearing this, Gan Ru Yan instinctively turned to look at two people who were fighting fiercely. It seems like other people were avoiding them as they fought.
‘It seems like those two must be the Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestials!’ Gan Ru Yan was amazed. She could hardly capture the movements of the two people. It was not difficult for her to tell those two people were the Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestials.
Gan Ru Yan continued thinking to herself, ‘However, their strength seems inferior to Di Chen from the dragon clan. I guess that’s to be expected since Di Chen was on the cusp of becoming a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.’ Prior to this, she had met Di Chen, the Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, when she was still the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect. At that time, Di Chen was forced to apologize and kowtow to Duan Ling Tian, her brother-in-law. This incident had increased her brother-in-law’s notoriety in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
Gan Ru Yan had also, naturally, heard that Di Chen had failed his sixth Bodiless Celestial Tribulation and died. She was aware that he had failed his tribulation due to his obsession with her brother-in-law. For this reason, Di Huan, the Supreme Elder of the dragon clan and a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, was seeking her brother-in-law in the Upper Province to avenge Di Chen!
After a moment, Gan Ru Yan turned her attention back to the other Bodiless Celestials present on the scene. ‘It seems like all these Bodiless Celestials are quite strong as well…’
‘Hmm?’ Suddenly, Gan Ru Yan discovered an onlooker was slowly approaching the Celestial Supreme Treasure, taking advantage of the fact that the two Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestials were distracted and engaged in a fierce battle. ‘He plans to steal the Celestial Supreme Treasure?’
