Indeed, just as expected.

As long as he drew from the Blue Prize Pool, he could always find something related to Black Emperor. This time, however, it wasn't fur.

Could this tooth be used to forge a weapon?

Black Emperor's strength was obvious, so his tooth was bound to be extraordinarily hard. It should make excellent material for refining artifacts.

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a purple reward: one piece of Divine Source.]

"Just a Source Stone. It's not much use to me. Wait!? Divine Source!?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Su Yang's eyes as he gazed at the piece of Divine Source, his expression gradually turning solemn.

"You can even draw this from the Blue Prize Pool?"

Source Stones were mysterious objects in the Shrouding the Heavens World!

No one could predict what was hidden inside them. They were filled with unknown possibilities.

Divine Source, however, was completely different!

Almost nothing hidden within Divine Source was simple!

After all, Ye Fan, the protagonist of Shrouding the Heavens, had cut open quite a few incredible things from Divine Source.

For example, Monkey, Divine Silkworm, and the King of an Ancient Race.

Divine Silkworm had left with that King. The only one who ultimately followed Ye Fan was Monkey—that was, the son of the Fighting Saint Emperor.

Putting the Divine Source aside, Su Yang continued checking the other rewards.

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a blue reward: Thank you for your patronage.]

He was speechless.

"'Thank you for your patronage' counts as a blue reward too?"

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a blue reward: Ji Ziyue's undergarments.]

Su Yang:

He had originally thought that the system had finally shown mercy, with several decent items dropping in succession from the Blue Prize Pool. But in the end, it was still the same as ever.

Its infuriating nature hadn't changed at all.

Su Yang shook his head lightly and stored away most of the rewards. As for Ji Ziyue's undergarments, he didn't even take a second look before tossing them aside.

What would a proper man want those things for?

"Forget it. The Purple Prize Pool is more reliable after all. At least it won't produce strange things like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yang walked over to the Purple Prize Pool and clicked to begin the draw.

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a purple reward: Ruthless Great Emperor's Bronze Mask.]

"Ruthless Great Emperor's Bronze Mask? This counts as a purple reward too?"

Su Yang looked at the mask in his hand, his face full of confusion.

But then he thought of how, although the mask might not have been special at first, it had been worn by Ruthless Great Emperor for a long time.

It might have absorbed a trace of the Great Emperor's aura and become a rather extraordinary item.

Thus, he didn't think about it further and directly stored the mask away.

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a purple reward: Void Mirror Fragment 1/50.] [The Host can collect fifty fragments to obtain the gold reward, Void Mirror.]

Su Yang couldn't help sucking in a cold breath. Fifty fragments? Wouldn't that mean waiting until the end of time?

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a purple reward: Source Heaven Book.]

"Source Heaven Book?"

The moment he heard the name, Su Yang knitted his brows.

The Source Heaven Book was the crucial item needed to become a legendary Source Heaven Master.

But it also came with an enormous price.

Anyone who cultivated the Source Heaven Book would be haunted by an ominous aura.

The higher a Source Heaven Master's cultivation, the stronger that aura would become. In the end, it could even transform them into a half-human, half-demon red-haired monster.

A terrifying memory surfaced in Su Yang's mind, and he couldn't help feeling a chill.

Earlier, he had obtained a red hair from a Source Heaven Master in the Blue Prize Pool. Now that he had obtained the Source Heaven Book as well, he couldn't help feeling a trace of worry.

After thinking for a while, he set the Source Heaven Book aside, intending to decide how to deal with it later.

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a purple reward: Ruthless Great Emperor Fragment 1/100.]

Su Yang was stunned. If he really gathered one hundred fragments, wouldn't he be able to summon that peerless Ruthless Empress to the Primordial World?

Then the personal items he had taken from her before... Ahem, she wouldn't hold a grudge against him, would she?

At that thought, Su Yang shuddered. He then carefully stored the fragment away.

At that moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared. Su Yang's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

"Damn! Another gold reward!?"

Night gradually descended, and Su Yang slowly opened his eyes while sitting cross-legged inside the inn.

After letting out a deep breath, he still found it difficult to calm down.

He hadn't expected this draw to yield so much.

At the thought of this, excitement flickered in his eyes.

In the Heavenly Court, on Lunar Star.

After returning, Jade Rabbit did not report to the Jade Emperor immediately. Instead, she first went to Lunar Star.

"Sister, I'm back!"

At Jade Rabbit's soft call, an incomparably beautiful woman walked out of Lunar Palace. Her skin was as white as snow, and her bearing was graceful and magnificent. She truly deserved to be called a Fairy Maiden from Above the Nine Heavens.

"Jade Rabbit? Why have you returned so quickly?"

The woman was slightly taken aback before asking, "The Great Heavenly Venerate ordered you to go to the Earthly Immortal Realm and search for the Seventh Princess. Did you find him?"

This woman was Chang'e, a palace maiden of Lunar Star.

"Of course I did."

Jade Rabbit nodded with a smile. She then took a bag from her bosom and handed it to Chang'e before saying:

"Sister, these are some interesting things I encountered in the Earthly Immortal Realm. If you're interested, take a look."

After saying that, Jade Rabbit prepared to leave Lunar Star and head to Lingxiao Treasure Hall to report the Seventh Princess's whereabouts to the Jade Emperor.

Chang'e accepted the bag and watched Jade Rabbit's departing figure, curiosity rising in her heart.

"What could have happened to make her so happy?"

She murmured softly, then turned and walked into Lunar Divine Hall, intending to see what the jade inside the bag had recorded.

As a palace maiden of Lunar Star, Chang'e was the most esteemed person there aside from the two Lunar Goddesses.

She didn't need to dance for the immortals every day like the other palace maidens. She only appeared during the Peach Banquet.

Thus, Chang'e had no duties weighing on her at the moment. She casually took out the jade and began watching the scenes recorded within.

At the beginning of the scene, a young man sat in his seat, holding a folding fan and giving it a light wave.

Immediately afterward, the man's indifferent voice rang out:

"In the depths of Deep Chaos, where coldness and darkness intertwined, nine enormous dragon corpses pulled an ancient Bronze Coffin, standing there for all eternity..."

As soon as she heard this, Chang'e felt a chill in her heart, as if she had personally entered that chaos and witnessed the shocking scene with her own eyes.

As the voice continued, Chang'e witnessed countless wondrous sights.

The murals inside the Bronze Coffin, and another coffin within the coffin.

The Five-Colored Altar above Mars, the crimson earth, and the mysterious Tai Chi Diagram atop the altar.

Suddenly, the sound of a striking block rang out, pulling Chang'e back from the illusion into reality.

Her eyes trembled as she heard Su Yang say:

"To find out what happens next, tune in next time."

Chang'e immediately couldn't sit still. She quickly took out the jade from the bag, infused it with Immortal Power, and started watching again.

The scene reappeared. Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin set off once more. This time, its destination was Yinghuo!
