The moment Lin Langtian entered the stone doors, an intense light shot straight at him, making him narrow his eyes reflexively.
Only after a moment did his eyes gradually adjust. He raised his head and swept his gaze around.
Before Lin Langtian lay an enormous stone cavern, filled with layer upon layer of light screens.
The cavern ceiling, hundreds of feet high, was dotted with openings through which shafts of sunlight poured down, making the interior even brighter.
This stone cavern was incomparably vast and deep. Lin Langtian looked into the distance, yet could not see its end.
"So this is the Lin Clan's treasury?"
Lin Langtian murmured to himself. He lightly grasped at the air before him, and surprise flashed through his eyes. He could sense that the Heaven and Earth Primal Energy here was remarkably abundant, far beyond what it was outside.
"Could these be the treasures within the clan treasury?"
Lin Langtian looked toward the surrounding light screens. Within them, clusters of light could be seen.
Each cluster enveloped a spirit treasure. However, even the best among them were merely high-grade.
To the current Lin Langtian, only Earth-grade Spirit Treasures could catch his eye.
"The truly valuable treasures should be deeper inside." Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in a low voice.
After forming a Bloodline Link with the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow, he could feel that his perception had risen considerably. It likely no longer fell short of Creation Realm experts.
With that thought, Lin Langtian no longer hesitated and strode deeper into the stone cavern.
Within the massive cavern, dazzling treasure light poured in from every direction, creating a spectacular sight.
An ordinary person who entered this place would likely linger here for who knew how long. Any item here, if taken outside, would count as quite valuable.
Yet Lin Langtian merely gave these treasure lights a cursory glance before losing interest. His path led straight toward the depths of the clan treasury, without another pause.
The clan treasury covered a considerable area. Lin Langtian wandered through it for nearly half an hour before gradually reaching its depths.
The deepest part of the clan treasury presented an entirely different scene from outside. Here, countless lights formed paths of light, and at the end of each path stood a stone platform shrouded in radiance.
Various powerful spirit treasures, medicinal herbs, martial arts manuals, and more floated above those stone platforms.
However, Lin Langtian lost interest after merely glancing at the medicinal herbs and martial arts.
At present, he was only interested in Earth-grade Spirit Treasures. As for the Lin Clan's martial arts, even Creation Martial Arts held little appeal for him for the time being.
Turning around, Lin Langtian fixed an eager gaze upon the five clusters of light within the light screens. These were the Lin Clan's five Earth-grade Spirit Treasures.
The first spirit treasure on the left was a flexible sword. Its entire body was blood-red, and as it coiled there, it resembled a blood python exuding a sinister aura. A sharp, cutting presence radiated from it.
Lin Langtian shook his head at the first spirit treasure. It was not to his taste.
He immediately shifted his gaze onward. The next spirit treasure was a yellowed tortoise shell, no larger than a palm. It was covered in strange patterns and seemed to possess a solid, earthlike heaviness.
"Looks like a defensive spirit treasure. It would be good for preserving one's life—a possible backup choice." Lin Langtian muttered.
Thinking this, Lin Langtian continued looking onward.
The third spirit treasure was a black spear, seemingly forged from the bones of some ancient Demonic Beast. It was exceptionally sharp; even with Lin Langtian's Shaping Realm strength, it made his heart tremble.
The fourth Earth-grade Spirit Treasure was a suit of gray treasure armor. Flowing light moved across it, and the faint image of an ancient giant bear emerged from time to time. It was clearly an Earth-grade Spirit Treasure whose defensive power was no less than that tortoise shell's.
As for the final item, it was a massive hexagonal black mirror. Mystic light flowed across its surface, while an extraordinarily unique and powerful fluctuation swept outward.
Seeing this mirror, Lin Langtian raised a brow. If he remembered correctly, the Earth-grade Spirit Treasure used by Lin Langtian in the Original Timeline should have been this very Spirit Wheel Mirror.
Compared to the other four spirit treasures, the Spirit Wheel Mirror could both attack and defend. It truly was a fine choice.
At that thought, Lin Langtian suddenly recalled something. With a sweep of his hand, he scattered the Yuan Qi Mist before him.
As the mist dispersed, a massive stone platform appeared before him.
Lin Langtian's gaze swept over the enormous stone platform, then paused and finally settled on its center. There lay a palm-sized black object.
Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes and examined it closely. Only then did he realize that the black object was a small mountain peak carving, placed on the stone platform as though it were an ornament.
"So it really is the Heavy Prison Peak." Taking two steps forward, Lin Langtian stared intently at the black mountain peak, which seemed utterly devoid of spirituality, and murmured.
After Lin Dong defeated Lin Langtian at the clan tournament in the Original Timeline, he obtained an opportunity to enter the clan treasury. The treasure he took was this Heavy Prison Peak.
Though the Heavy Prison Peak appeared no different from an ordinary decoration, the truth was precisely the opposite. This was the most precious Earth-grade Spirit Treasure in the Lin Clan's treasury!
At this thought, a fiery gleam appeared in Lin Langtian's eyes. After a brief moment of contemplation, he slowly reached out and gripped the little black mountain peak.
However, just as Lin Langtian tried to lift it, astonishment flashed through his eyes the next instant. He discovered that despite his pull, the small mountain peak did not move in the slightest!
"Damn it, I forgot that subduing this thing requires Essence Energy!"
Remembering something, Lin Langtian slapped his forehead and said in frustration.
Essence Energy was the power produced by Yuan Power Fusion with Spiritual Power, far more powerful than either individual type of energy. Lin Dong had mastered this ability in the Original Timeline and used it to subdue the Heavy Prison Peak.
Meanwhile, Lin Langtian's Original Body had not even been a Talisman Master, and his Spiritual Power was extremely weak. How could he possibly possess Essence Energy?
Lin Langtian's eyes flickered as he stared at the Heavy Prison Peak. In the end, he could only let out a regretful sigh.
Without Essence Energy, he could not subdue the Heavy Prison Peak with his current cultivation alone.
For now, he could only choose another Earth-grade Spirit Treasure.
"Forget it. Since this item is fated for Lin Dong, I'll choose something else." After consoling himself, Lin Langtian shook his head.
A moment later, Lin Langtian had composed himself and walked over to the five spiritual treasures.
Although Heavy Prison Peak was quite good, Lin Langtian was fated to encounter it but not to possess it. Nor was it indispensable to him. With that thought, he shifted his gaze to the black hexagonal mirror.
Compared to the other spiritual treasures, the Spirit Wheel Mirror indeed possessed more well-rounded attributes. The Original Body had likely chosen it because of this.
With that in mind, Lin Langtian beckoned with his hand and drew the black hexagonal mirror over.
Compared to Heavy Prison Peak's stubbornness, the Spirit Wheel Mirror was clearly far more obedient. Lin Langtian barely had to exert any effort before holding it in his hand.
Having decided to take the Spirit Wheel Mirror, Lin Langtian no longer hesitated. With a thought, he forced out a drop of blood essence and sent it into the Spirit Wheel Mirror, beginning the process of acknowledging it as his master.
The process went extremely smoothly. The Spirit Wheel Mirror allowed his blood essence to enter its deepest depths, where it formed a blood seal condensed from blood essence.
However, the instant the blood seal took shape, an abrupt change occurred!
A dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from within Lin Langtian's body. It was like a blazing sun, too brilliant to look at directly.
Within that golden light seemed to be countless ancient, mysterious, and powerful runes.
Under Lin Langtian's astonished gaze, the golden runes surged toward the Spirit Wheel Mirror like a tidal wave in the next moment.
"Buzz, buzz!"
In an instant, the Spirit Wheel Mirror hummed, and mysterious golden light radiated from its surface.
At the same time, those obscure and mysterious runes imprinted themselves upon it, transforming the originally black hexagonal mirror into a golden treasure mirror covered in enigmatic runes...
