The Sovereign Spirit Treasury Opens, the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar!

"Lord Thunder Emperor, you were right. I was wrong."

After a long while, Black Dragon Supreme hung his head and said weakly,

"I shouldn't have deceived White Dragon. I should have apologized."

Even if that was merely White Dragon Supreme's lingering spiritual incarnation.

Luo Li glanced at Zhao Chen. He really was capable.

With just a few simple words, he had made Black Dragon Supreme accept reformation.

And the results of that reformation seemed fairly decent.

"You still have this realization, so there's hope for you yet."

Zhao Chen had thought Black Dragon Supreme was beyond saving.

If he had stubbornly persisted in his ways, there would have been no need for further words.

They could have simply tossed him into some forgotten corner and left him to fend for himself.

After all, they were Earthly Sovereigns. Why would they need a mere Fifth-grade Supreme?

"Since White Dragon Supreme's lingering spiritual incarnation still exists, there is a chance for him to be revived."

As soon as he said this, Black Dragon Supreme's eyes widened in utter disbelief.

Really!?

He had dealt White Dragon Supreme a fatal blow, causing him to perish not long afterward.

Could someone who had died actually be brought back to life?

Was that even possible?

He had never heard of such a thing!

If that was the case, could the four fallen Supremes also be resurrected?

"Other than White Dragon Supreme, no one else has that chance."

However, Zhao Chen's words immediately poured cold water over Black Dragon Supreme.

There truly was a way to resurrect someone, but it could not be done casually.

At the very least, White Dragon Supreme could be revived, while the Dragon Demon Palace's four Supremes could not.

"That's enough. If White Dragon can be revived, that's already wonderful!"

Black Dragon Supreme took a deep breath, then actually knelt before the black-robed Thunder Emperor.

Zhao Chen raised his brows slightly. He was truly repentant.

Back before the Dragon Demon Palace's headquarters, even when Zhao Chen had been about to kill him, he had refused to lower his head.

It was only when Luo Li arrived and gave him a glimmer of hope that he had submitted.

Yet now, upon learning that White Dragon Supreme could be resurrected, Black Dragon Supreme had actually knelt before him!

Come to think of it, he should have hated Zhao Chen.

After all, Zhao Chen had personally exterminated the Dragon Demon Palace's four Supremes.

With such a grudge between them, this scene should have been even more impossible.

"Reviving White Dragon Supreme will require a price beyond your imagination."

Zhao Chen was not lying. With White Dragon Supreme's remaining spiritual incarnation, revival was indeed possible.

But he did not possess that ability right now.

Even if Black Dragon Supreme begged on his knees, it was impossible.

"We've reached the Spirit Treasury's location."

Just as Black Dragon Supreme was about to say something else, Zhao Chen looked into the distance.

Five towering mountain peaks stood there, each draped with cascading waterfalls. A vast lake lay between them like a mirror, reflecting the white clouds in the sky.

"White Dragon really guarded against me..."

When Black Dragon Supreme saw the entrance to the Sovereign Spirit Treasury and its ingenious arrangement, he finally understood why he had never discovered the Spirit Treasury White Dragon Supreme had left behind all these years.

He sighed. Precisely because he knew White Dragon Supreme so well, he had been guarded against.

Had any other unfamiliar Supreme Realm expert come personally, the Sovereign Spirit Treasury would likely have revealed traces long ago and been claimed.

Of course, that was not absolute.

White Dragon Supreme's strength had been extraordinary. Ordinary people would likewise have been helpless against it.

For the Sovereign Spirit Treasury to appear, they could only wait until the right moment arrived.

Zhao Chen glanced at Black Dragon Supreme. He certainly talked a lot.

Who else would White Dragon be guarding against if not you?

With a lift of his hand, a bolt of Black God Lightning descended from the heavens, forcibly splitting open a spatial rift.

A small world could vaguely be seen within.

It seemed to be an expansive lake of magma, with one fiery lotus after another growing across its surface.

"This small world was formed from White Dragon's Sovereign Sea."

Zhao Chen's heart stirred. The reason Black Dragon Supreme and the many people wandering White Dragon Hill had failed to find any trace of the Spirit Treasury was because it was inherently unique.

He had only managed to break open the entrance so easily by aiming at a target drawn in advance.

Back then, Black Dragon Supreme must have investigated this place more than once without finding anything. That was why Bai Xuan and the others had later been sent to White Dragon Hill to hold the fort and investigate in secret.

"Let's go in."

Luo Li spoke at once. With a flap of the divine beast Nine Netherworld Dark Bird's wings, she carried them into the spatial rift.

Black Dragon Supreme could only follow behind. After all, he was not qualified to ride a divine beast.

"So many Flame Spirit Lotuses."

Luo Li looked at the crimson lotus flowers floating atop the scorching magma lake and was somewhat surprised.

The lotus seeds produced by Flame Spirit Lotuses were condensed from exceptionally pure fire spiritual energy.

They had remarkable effects in tempering one's sinews, bones, and physique.

They were of little use to those in the Supreme Realm.

But below the Supreme Realm, they were somewhat useful to people like Luo Li.

"Not just those. There's also a Flame Immortal Lotus beneath the lake."

Zhao Chen glanced over, then reached out and grabbed.

The magma lake surged into towering waves, exposing its bottom.

Below, a multicolored lotus nearly ten feet wide stood out brilliantly.

A spiritual beast, the Devouring Flame Python King, was coiled around the Flame Immortal Lotus's stem. Its body was covered in scarlet scales, and dark golden flaming horns grew from its head.

Sensing the danger of his arrival, it frantically flicked its tongue and hissed warnings.

"A mere mid-stage Transforming Heaven Realm. Stay to the side."

Zhao Chen did not kill it. It could be used later to temper Luo God City's talented disciples.

That was right. This Sovereign Spirit Treasury could be completely transformed into a secret realm for Luo God City.

What top-tier force did not possess a few special cultivation grounds?

On the Northern Heavens Continent, not many cultivation grounds could surpass this Sovereign Spirit Treasury.

The finest cultivation ground was the place where a Heavenly Sovereign had once passed away.

Sacred Spirit Mountain was recognized throughout the Northern Heavens Continent as a supreme cultivation ground.

It did not remain open for long each time, and the available slots were even more limited.

Among the younger generation, only a handful of the very best were qualified to enjoy the fortune left behind by a Heavenly Sovereign.

Even the slightest benefit was enough to establish an excellent cultivation foundation and break through one's limits.

Zhao Chen only remotely drew over the lotus seeds from that Flame Immortal Lotus.

Since this was their own secret realm, they could not kill the goose that laid the golden eggs.

Whether Flame Spirit Lotuses or the Flame Immortal Lotus, their most important part was the lotus seeds they nurtured.

Only the lotus seeds contained pure fire-attributed spiritual energy, allowing those who cultivated fire-attributed spiritual arts to obtain better results.

And the Flame Immortal Lotus's seeds could allow Luo Li to challenge the Physical Body Difficulty of the Sovereign Three Difficulties.

"Nine-leaf Sword Grass, don't waste time on these little things."

Seeing this, Little Nine Netherbird immediately transmitted her voice.

They could return to this Sovereign Spirit Treasury whenever they wanted.

The key was the Primordial Fiendish Weapon within it—the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar.

"After purifying the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar, I'm taking it for my own use!"

Luo God City had already dominated the Northern Heavens Continent, and she had reached the Sixth-grade Supreme Realm.

If she wished to grow stronger and reach higher realms, she would inevitably have to leave the Northern Heavens Continent.

Once she obtained the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar, she could return.

After all, she had been away from the Nine Nether Palace for a long time.

There had originally been many who refused to accept her, along with rivals who suppressed her.

She did not know how the Nine Nether Palace had fared over the years.

As the master of a palace, Little Nine Netherbird was deeply worried.

Therefore, she hoped to settle matters on the Northern Heavens Continent as quickly as possible.

Then she would return to the Great Thousand Domain in grand fashion, with the cultivation of the Sixth-grade Supreme Realm!

Hearing this, Zhao Chen shrugged.

"Alright."

He understood Jiuyou's thoughts. The Nine Nether Palace's situation truly was not very good.

The sooner they returned to the Great Thousand Domain, the sooner they could support her.

"We'll go with you. We can take a look at what a supercontinent is like."

In a flash, they arrived in the depths of the Spirit Treasury.

A shattered black demonic pillar, wrapped in countless chains of purple light patterns, stood between heaven and earth.

Even through the power of the seal, its ferocious aura remained terrifying!

The Primordial Fiendish Weapon, the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar!
