Eternal Blue Gold! (1/5)

News traveled through this cultivation world no slower than in the modern age. Ji Hao had barely cut out the Dragon-Pattern Black Gold Sword when Tianyu Park was immediately packed solid with people.

The place was bustling with people who wanted to buy the Dragon-Pattern Black Gold Sword.

Disciples from various sacred lands and prodigies from ancient aristocratic families had all arrived.

"The prince of Great Xia, the immortal imperial dynasty of Central Province!" Someone immediately recognized the valiant Great Xia prince among the crowd.

"Jin Chixiao, heir of the Golden Family of the Northern Plains, is here too!"

"The Holy Son of the Ten Thousand Beginning Sacred Land and Xiang Yifei of the Great Evolution Sacred Land have arrived as well!"

The Yaoguang Saint Son, surrounded by one hundred and eight divine halos, had also arrived. The Yaoguang Saintess was with him.

Yao Xi drifted over gracefully, carrying a fragrance like orchids and musk. Her eyes shimmered like water, and she smiled sweetly as she studied Ji Hao with curiosity.

Ignoring the onlookers, Ji Hao merely said, "Not for sale," then continued preparing to cut open the Humanoid Immortality Elixir.

Crack!

The stone skin slowly fell away. This was unlike cutting out the Dragon-Pattern Black Gold Sword. Ji Hao carved with great care, every stroke cautious, afraid of damaging something.

Crack!

Crack!

Suddenly, Ji Hao made another light cut. The stone naturally split open, shooting out a dazzling, brilliant radiance. Then a streak of light rose into the air and flew toward the sky.

"Heavens, what is that? How did it fly away?!" Many people cried out.

"It looks like a human figure!"

"That's right, did a person just fly out?!"

Outside the Heaven-Grade Stone Garden, the spectators instantly erupted into a frenzy.

"Flying Immortal from the Stone!"

"It really does look like a human figure!"

A dazzling divine glow illuminated the air, making it crystal-clear and radiant like transparent crystal.

The old Daoist nun swept her hand through the air, raising a curtain of light that enveloped the Heaven-Grade Stone Garden and sealed off the space, preventing any divine treasure from escaping.

Though the cutting was not yet complete, the Dragon-Pattern Black Gold Sword had set a precedent. Combined with this phenomenon, it had to be an incomparably rare treasure. Many people's eyes turned green as they stared over like wolves, wishing they could pounce forward and seize it.

"Unbelievable. How long has it been since the phenomenon of Flying Immortal from the Stone last appeared?"

"Young friend, stop cutting. This old man is willing to offer one hundred thousand source."

"Tch, the old man sure dreams big. Once Flying Immortal from the Stone appears, the treasure inside must be worth at least one hundred and fifty thousand jin of source."

"Young friend, sell it to me. I'll offer one hundred and fifty thousand jin of source."

Ji Hao ignored them and continued cutting. A crystalline glow emerged, and an icy chill rushed toward him.

"So cold!"

Frost spread across the grass, the temperature plummeted, and wisps of cold air drifted in every direction.

"It is a rare source—Ice-Snow Source!" the Great Xia prince said.

After part of the stone was peeled away, a fist-sized piece of snowy jade appeared. It was embedded in the stone like a chunk of ice, about as large as a fist.

Seeing this, Ji Hao decisively removed all the remaining stone skin in one go. Even though he damaged some of the Ice-Snow Source, he did not care, leaving the crowd looking pained.

Even if Ice-Snow Source was inferior to Divine Source, it was still worth a thousand jin of pure source.

Dazzling light burst in every direction as a human figure rushed out, circling and dancing through the area.

A fragrant aroma filled the air. The light and shadow swirled around, dreamlike and fantastical.

"Heavens, what is that? An unparalleled treasure really was cut out!"

"What heaven-defying luck! It must be a priceless treasure!"

"This is too heaven-defying. Both stones produced treasures. Could an Origin Saint Master be about to appear again?!"

In an instant, brilliant light burst forth, and a human figure rushed out, circling and dancing through the area.

A fragrant aroma filled the air. The light and shadow swirled around, dreamlike and fantastical.

Within the Ice-Snow Source was a pale blue rhizome, translucent and sparkling like sapphire. There were no leaves above the root.

"What a pity. How could this happen?!"

Ji Hao ignored their wails. His gaze was fixed only on the pair of tubers shaped like little feet. They were not large, merely an inch long.

The Great Xia prince, Xia Yiming, stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist, I have already prepared a banquet."

"Another day, another day!" Ji Hao replied with a smile. Free food would have been nice, but leaving first was better. He preferred peace and quiet.

Yao Xi was about to speak when Ji Hao cut her off. "No date, thanks!"

Ji Hao strode toward the exit, feeling delighted. Suddenly, he stopped as though he had sensed something.

He began wandering through this section of the garden.

Seeing this, everyone hurried after him.

Yao Xi froze for a moment, then her smile became even brighter as she followed.

As he searched through the stones one by one, the bloodline within Ji Hao that belonged to the Void Emperor began to boil, as if it had sensed something.

"Not this one. Not this one either." Ji Hao searched the stones throughout the area.

At last, his gaze settled on an "enormous" stone. It was far larger than the surrounding stones, nearly the size of a cubic zhang.

"I'll take this one!" Ji Hao tossed down one hundred thousand source and said excitedly.

Unlike the Dragon-Pattern Black Gold Sword and the Humanoid Immortality Elixir, this might be an opportunity that truly belonged to him.

"Another one? Could he really be an Origin Saint Master? He found three immortal treasures in such a short time!"

"Hurry, hurry! Someone cut out a Primordial Divine Medicine!" At that moment, a group of old men, nearly bald, rushed inside.

"Young friend, I'll offer two hundred thousand jin of source. You must sell that divine medicine to me."

"Don't listen to him. Sell it to me. I'll offer two hundred and fifty thousand jin of source."

"I already said it's not for sale. Why won't you listen?!" Ji Hao said impatiently.

"This old man is an elder of the Ten Thousand Beginning Sacred Land. Boy, you cannot protect such a supreme treasure." An ancient elder from the Ten Thousand Beginning Sacred Land, so old he seemed nearly out of breath, spoke meaningfully.

Ji Hao glanced at him and immediately lost interest. He was merely in the Dragon Transformation Realm. Who knew where he got the courage?

"What a waste of time!"

"You brat!" Seeing how lightly Ji Hao regarded him, the elder was instantly enraged and nearly failed to catch his breath.

This time, Ji Hao moved very slowly, cutting open the massive stone stroke by stroke.

A streak of divine light bloomed from the crack in the stone. It was an incredibly dreamlike blue radiance, seemingly carrying an aura of indestructibility through countless tribulations.

Suddenly, an immense sense of danger rose in Ji Hao's heart. A hair-raising aura enveloped his entire body, and he retreated at lightning speed.

Bone-piercing killing intent surged from the stone, chilling everyone from head to toe and making them tremble uncontrollably.

The ultimate killing intent poured out like a tsunami, making heaven and earth wail as though they could not bear its power!

Its form had long since decayed, yet its endless, chilling killing intent had never faded, containing an aura that made heaven and earth tremble.

Great Emperor killing intent!

Before that killing intent, the outer stone skin was reduced entirely to powder, revealing the divine object sealed within.

Brilliant blue light shone forth. It was a broken sword, stained with blood and forged from Eternal Blue Gold. It was hard to imagine that a divine weapon made from such immortal gold had been snapped apart.
