This commotion drew Ink Qilin's attention back once more.
A trace of astonishment flashed through his eyes.
There was no mistake!
It was definitely the commotion caused by that spiritual treasure at the mountaintop!
He was not unfamiliar with that spiritual treasure, so there was absolutely no way his senses could be wrong.
With a spiritual treasure so close at hand, it was impossible for the Qilin Clan not to be tempted.
Clan Chief Shi Qilin had long coveted this special spiritual treasure. He had even tried several times to climb to Buzhou Mountain's summit and claim it for himself.
Unfortunately, Pangu's Pressure was simply not something he could withstand.
Even after several attempts, he had ultimately returned empty-handed.
Thus, he could only give up.
"If this special spiritual treasure falls into Tongtian's hands..."
"Then our Qilin Clan must not be as foolish as the Dragon Clan and offend him."
"We must befriend him!"
As Ink Qilin thought this, a sharp light flickered in his eyes.
If they could draw such an expert into the Qilin Clan's camp,
he would surely be of great help to the Qilin Clan.
At the summit of Buzhou Mountain.
Under the relentless bombardment of thunder filling the skies, even with the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, Tongtian was beginning to struggle.
He was now covered in wounds, and his aura had weakened considerably.
The Nine Revolutions Profound Skill circulated madly within his body, showing signs of restoring his injuries.
But compared with the thunder filling the skies, its recovery speed was painfully slow.
"Hiss!"
After gritting his teeth and taking several steps forward, Tongtian could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
With a glance, he saw that stark white bones were exposed in many places across his body.
No wonder even walking felt as though his body were being torn apart.
With injuries like these, it would be extremely difficult to heal through his own strength.
And he had not even caught sight of that special treasure yet.
Without hesitation, Tongtian took out a drop of Three Lights Divine Water and swallowed it directly.
Buzz!
An invisible spiritual essence immediately coursed wildly through his body, causing his injuries to recover at a visible rate.
In an instant, Tongtian's injuries had completely healed.
This gave him the confidence to continue enduring.
Mere thunder thought it could stop him from obtaining a treasure?
As he continued forward, Tongtian could feel that his fleshly body's toughness had greatly improved.
He was only one step away from a breakthrough in his fleshly body!
He needed more thunder.
"Come!"
With a loud shout, Tongtian pushed the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill to its limit.
At once, all the thunder around him was drawn toward his body.
His body trembled continuously as numbness flowed through every inch of him, yet Tongtian had no intention of stopping.
A breakthrough of the fleshly body had always been more difficult than a breakthrough in cultivation.
Because every breakthrough required shattering the fleshly body's current limits!
Only by breaking could one be rebuilt.
After a quarter-hour of self-torment, the bottleneck in Tongtian's fleshly body finally shattered. Vast amounts of blood and vital energy surged through him.
At that moment, his fleshly body had successfully reached the level of an Acquired Treasure!
In other words, relying solely on his fleshly body, he could contend with an Acquired Treasure.
Spiritual treasures of this grade could no longer inflict overly severe injuries on him.
"If I had the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill, my fleshly body could definitely go even further!"
Tongtian was exhilarated. He resolved that, if he ever had the chance, he would find a way to obtain the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill from the Witch Race.
Only when these two cultivation techniques were combined could they be called the complete inheritance of Pangu!
His powerful fleshly body reduced the effects of the thunder filling the skies to almost nothing.
The numbness remained, but it could no longer affect his normal movements at all.
Thus, he strode directly into the center of the thunder.
The thunder here was the most violent. At the very center of countless bolts of lightning, a great seal floated in the void.
Halos flowed across the great seal, resisting the erosion of the thunder filling the skies.
No matter how violent the thunder became, it remained utterly unmoved.
Tongtian circulated his mana and immediately saw more clearly that the two characters "Reincarnation" were engraved upon the seal.
Clearly, this spiritual treasure had to be the Reincarnation Seal!
Tongtian's heart shook. He had never expected such a powerful spiritual treasure to be hidden within Buzhou Mountain.
This was an even more powerful spiritual treasure than the Northern Mysterious Control Water Flag, one of the Innate Five Element Flags.
The Reincarnation Seal! It contained the power of the Law of Reincarnation. Whoever wielded this seal could control the rebirth of living beings.
It could determine where souls would go, interfere with karmic threads, and even reverse time for a brief moment.
It could be said that this was a powerful spiritual treasure focused on the soul, karma, and fate.
It was special and powerful, a spiritual treasure tied to providence.
Although its grade was still that of a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, it far surpassed other spiritual treasures of the same grade.
Tongtian naturally would not let a treasure like this slip away.
So he stood where he was and waited silently.
He waited for this special spiritual treasure to pass through its tribulation lightning.
Before long, the thunder filling the skies seemed to realize that it could not destroy the spiritual treasure, and the surging power in the heavens rapidly weakened.
A moment later, the entire sky returned to calm.
The vast thunderclouds had come in a rush and departed just as quickly.
The heavens and earth became blue and pristine once again.
A sharp light flashed through Tongtian's eyes. Now was the time to strike!
Otherwise, the Reincarnation Seal might continue hiding within Buzhou Mountain.
A spiritual treasure of this grade had already developed its own spirituality.
Either he forcibly subdued it, or he could only wait for it to acknowledge a master on its own.
With Tongtian's cultivation, he would naturally choose the former.
"Still!"
As his vast mana surged forth, Tongtian directly unleashed a divine ability. Pangu's Pressure burst out in full force.
It directly suppressed the Reincarnation Seal within the void.
He swiftly brought out the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda. Dense merit power and mysterious yellow qi poured forth from within it.
Before an Innate Merit Treasure, even a special spiritual treasure like the Reincarnation Seal could not escape smoothly.
It transformed into a streak of light and was immediately drawn into the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda.
"Good!"
Seeing the Reincarnation Seal successfully taken away, Tongtian was overjoyed.
This trip up Buzhou Mountain had been an absolute windfall.
Not only had he successfully broken through with his fleshly body to a level comparable to an Acquired Treasure,
he had also obtained a special Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure like the Reincarnation Seal!
His strength had now increased enormously.
Though his cultivation was only at the Mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, his powerful fleshly body alone allowed him to look down upon every cultivator below the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.
After all, not every Grand Luo Golden Immortal in the Primordial World possessed an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
And without an Innate Spiritual Treasure, they could not even break through his fleshly body's defenses.
It could be said that Tongtian could suppress vast numbers of Grand Luo Golden Immortal experts with only his fists.
"This breakthrough of my fleshly body was entirely thanks to the tempering of heavenly lightning."
"And the boost provided by the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill."
"The next time I want my fleshly body to break through, it will not be so simple."
Tongtian sighed inwardly at the thought.
When it came to fleshly bodies, the Witch Race was truly blessed by the heavens!
They had no primordial spirits, so they devoted all their effort to cultivating laws and their fleshly bodies.
Each of the Twelve Ancestral Witches was born with mastery over a law and possessed terrifying potential in their fleshly bodies.
They had originally been formed from Pangu's heart's blood.
They could be said to be extraordinarily special beings within the Primordial World.
Tongtian also had some thoughts regarding this.
The best option would be to find a way to obtain the Twelve Ancestral Witches' essence blood...
