After Lin Heng passed through Ten Thousand Swords Bridge, Chen Yulin became the third person to enter Ten Thousand Swords Bridge.
Compared to Liuyun Lan and Lin Heng, Chen Yulin was noticeably slower.
It's unclear whether Chen Yulin listened to Gonggong's words beforehand, but every time he woke up from the dark world, he would deliberately linger there, and it's unknown what he actually realized.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the Ten Thousand Swords Bridge, Lin Heng, who had just passed through customs, looked at the towering tree in front of him.
The length of the tree roots submerged in the water is unknown, but judging from the water surface, this tree must be at least 450 meters tall.
But what surprised Lin Heng was not this, but the fact that there were magical treasures hanging on the branches of the big tree in front of him. A quick glance revealed that there were at least a hundred of them.
Judging from the Power of Origin emanating from them, it's not hard to tell that these weapons are all at the level of Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure.
"Hundreds of Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure?"
The scene before him made Lin Heng's heart skip a beat.
"Even the top sects of the Third Heaven probably couldn't afford such a feat."
Liuyun Lan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Heng suddenly turned his head to look at him, and asked in confusion, "Are there any restrictions here too?"
Without restrictions, Lin Heng didn't believe that Liuyun Lan, the first person to arrive here, would have allowed so many Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure to be displayed on the tree branches.
This isn't judging others by one's own petty standards; it's simply the truth.
Even Heavenly Venerable expert would probably find it hard to resist the temptation before them.
Liuyun Lan smiled noncommittally. Clearly, just as Lin Heng had thought, if there were no restrictions, he would have already fleeced everyone in front of him.
Liuyun Lan raised her hand and pointed to a stone tablet ten meters away, which was covered with densely packed small characters.
Lin Heng walked over and took a look. There was a description of the big tree in front of him, as well as some rules.
The large tree is called the Green Fir Ironwood and has been alive for hundreds of millions of years.
According to the stone tablet, the Green Fir Ironwood takes 100,000 years to sprout, 10 million years to take shape, and 100 million years to mature. Any piece of bark taken from it can be comparable to Low-Grade Chaos Spirit Treasure Spiritual Treasure. If it were to be forged by a master craftsman, High-Grade Chaos Spirit Treasure could be easily created.
As for the more precious parts of the ironwood, they are excellent materials for refining Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure.
As everyone knows, the Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure can only be refined when a cultivator breaks through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm. However, it still requires finding the materials oneself, but one does not need to know the art of weapon refining.
Breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm will generate a unique Power of Origin belonging to the cultivator. At this time, simply integrating the prepared refining materials into the Power of Origin will automatically refine the Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure.
The quality of the materials used will have a certain impact on the power and grade of the Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure.
Of course, the most crucial point is what kind of Power of Origin arises when a cultivator breaks through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm.
After all, it's only a lower-grade item, such as the Certain-Kill Origin. No matter how good your materials are, he can't possibly refine a high-grade Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure.
Of course, it's not to say that the quality of the materials doesn't matter. Take the Power of Origin of the Origin of Thunder, for example. If you refine a broken tree branch picked up by the roadside and the ironwood in front of you separately, will they be the same?
Getting back to the main topic, after reading the introduction of Green Fir Ironwood, Lin Heng immediately moved on to the main subject.
The magical artifact on the Green Fir Ironwood is a reward left by the Master of Heavenly Estate for those who pass the Ten Thousand Swords Bridge challenge.
According to the inscription on the stone tablet, one can choose any of the five hundred magical treasures, but each person can only choose three, and once selected, they cannot change them.
But when Lin Heng looked at the items, he estimated that there were less than two hundred left.
Doesn't that mean that at least a hundred people had visited Peach Garden Heavenly Abode before my arrival, then passed through the Ten Thousand Swords Bridge Pass and took away the Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure?
"It seems that the two Celestial Venerables, Green Mountains and Clear Waters, were not the original owners of this Heavenly Palace."
Liuyun Lan offered a bold conjecture.
To possess so many Celestial Treasures, and with Zhu Rong and Gong Gong being so powerful before, all of this exceeds the range of Celestial Venerable realm strength. Even a Ninth-Rank Celestial Venerable would have no chance. At most, the Celestial Venerables Qingshan and Lushui are merely heirs of the Heavenly Palace.
Lin Heng also became interested. "Brother Liuyun, what do you think is the true purpose of this Heavenly Estate Mansion Master?"
Liu Yunlan shook her head. "The thoughts of such important figures are beyond our comprehension, but if one could obtain the qualification to inherit the Heavenly Palace, just like the Celestial Venerable of Green Mountains and Clear Waters, it would be equivalent to obtaining a passport to becoming a powerful figure in the future."
Liuyun Lan said he dared not speculate, but in reality he was afraid of being overheard by the other gatekeepers in the Heavenly Estate. However, he and Lin Heng both understood that the Heavenly Estate Master was doing all this simply to find a successor.
The resources left behind by such a powerful figure who could casually throw out so many Chaos Spirit Treasure and Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure are unimaginable.
If one could truly inherit the mantle of this great figure, even a pig could become a powerful overlord in the Nine Heavens.
The only pity was that the stone tablet mentioned that there was a restriction around the Green Fir Ironwood, and all the challengers needed to pass through the Ten Thousand Swords Bridge together before they could pass. This meant that Lin Heng and Liuyun Lan could only wait patiently.
During their subsequent casual conversation, Lin Heng learned a great deal of important information about the Nine Heavens from Liuyun Lan.
Even the question that Lin Heng had always wondered about—why build a power base in the Nine Heavens —was now somewhat answered.
It is said that above the Heavenly Venerable Realm, what is needed is no longer the Source Power of heaven and earth. To break through that realm, another mysterious thing is required. Liuyun Lan was also vague about what it was. He had only heard about it from people in the Firmament Hall.
But one thing is certain: to acquire that mysterious thing more quickly, building a faction or relying on other factions is essential.
The only explanation Liuyun Lan could offer was that it was a contribution, a contribution to the Heavenly Dao.
This was the first time Lin Heng had ever heard that the path of cultivation required contributions.
However, Liuyun Lan was unclear about the specifics of his contributions.
The reason he was willing to tell Lin Heng so much information today was twofold: firstly, it was at Ao Zhantian's behest, and secondly, it was because he recognized Lin Heng's potential.
The first time Liuyun Lan heard Lin Heng's name in the Firmament Hall, Lin Heng was only at the Nirvana Realm.
The reason why this name was remembered by a Peak Ninth Revolution Samsara Realm expert was mainly because the Palace Master personally went to the Third Heaven to find the patriarch of the Great Sun Race, and his purpose was to protect a Nirvana Realm person named Lin Heng.
At the time, Liuyun Lan did not pay much attention to Lin Heng, but after Lin Heng reached the Ninefold Heaven, his rapid rise and crazy increase in strength made Liuyun Lan take Lin Heng seriously.
Now in Heavenly Estate, Lin Heng's breakthrough in soul cultivation has completely won over Liuyun Lan.
With such extraordinary talent, it's no wonder he's favored by the Palace Master!
Liuyun Lan had also made up her mind that she had to befriend Lin Heng no matter what, as he might be a powerful ally she could rely on in the future.
