Treasures and Primordial Secrets

Just like before, there are nine dragon-carved pillars and a sacred platform.

The group walked towards the altar, where a craftsman wielding a hammer was carved on the stone wall behind it.

Within the light screen, a completely black shield stood silently, its surface carved with nine coiled Mystic Ice dragons, each with two ancient jade stones embedded in its eyes, radiating a chilling aura.

Li Yunjing touched the sacred platform and obtained information about this Law Treasure.

This is the Nine Dragons Mystic Ice Shield, crafted by Artifact Sage. It is made with the core of a ten-thousand-year-old Mystic Ice mother ore from the far north, and infused with the dragon souls of nine ancient ice dragons.

The power released by this shield varies depending on the user's cultivation level.

If used by Bandit Cultivator, it can become the strongest Spirit Treasure in the world.

However, if used by a Qi Refining cultivator, it would only be an ordinary shield-like magical Law Artifact.

Beside the shield lay a Spirit-Breaking Dragon Sinew Bow, its bowstring forged from the back tendons of an ancient Yinglong dragon, and its arrows crafted from a mixture of Star Iron iron.

The arrows can penetrate any spiritual energy barrier, have a tracking effect, and can reach a maximum range of a thousand miles.

The bow is also engraved with the Artifact Sage of Weapons, "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature," which details the complete crafting methods for three High Antiquity Spirit Treasure.

Li Yunjing and the others praised the two treasures highly.

Li Yunjing picked up the Spirit-Breaking Dragon Sinew Bow, wanting to try to draw the bowstring, but found that he was not strong enough.

Li Yunjing reluctantly put down the Dragon Sinew Bow.

He possessed the Tiger-Shooting Bow, which, though inferior to the Dragon Sinew Bow, was still a top-tier weapon.

After putting away the two treasures, the group left immediately.

Next are the treasures left behind by the third sage.

The third sage was the Formation Sage. After entering the cave...

Li Yunjing then saw a palm-sized bronze disc rotating silently. The disc was engraved with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and countless tiny points of light flowing on the disc, forming a miniature starry sky.

Upon touching the sacred altar, Li Yunjing learned the origin of this treasure.

This is the Myriad Spirits Formation Disk left behind by the Formation Sage. It can simulate all arrays in the world. As long as you input your Law Power, you can instantly set up trapping arrays, killing arrays, and defensive arrays.

The most terrifying thing is that it can absorb the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth and the soul power of living beings to enhance the power of the formation.

This treasure can be described as both righteous and evil, depending on how the user uses it.

Beside the array plate lay a scroll titled "True Explanation of the Formation Dao," which recorded numerous array formations, including the complete setup method of the "Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Locking Formation" used by the Nine Sages to seal the Lord of the Ruins of Return.

Li Yunjing only glanced at it briefly before discovering that the few top-tier formations currently circulating within Tianyuan were merely entry-level formations in this book.

"This array plate is much stronger than the Ten Thousand Formations Celestial Pivot Banner, but unfortunately its grade is too high, so I can't use it yet," Li Yunjing muttered to himself, holding the array plate.

Like the Myriad Spirits Formation Disk Ten Thousand Formations Celestial Pivot Banner can be used to set up many arrays, but it is not as powerful as the Myriad Spirits Formation Disk.

Li Yunjing was thinking of upgrading his Law Treasure, replacing the Myriad Spirits Formation Disk with the Ten Thousand Formations Celestial Pivot Banner.

Unfortunately, the Myriad Spirits Formation Disk has very high requirements for the user, so Li Yunjing can only dream about it.

After leaving this place, Li Yunjing and the others continued on to the next location.

This process was repeated, and soon all the treasures left behind by the Nine Sages were taken away.

Besides the initial Pill Sage, Artifact Sage, and Formation Sage,

The treasures left behind by the subsequent six sages are also extremely valuable.

For example, the Ten Thousand Talismans Box left behind by the Talisman Sage contains ten thousand talismans drawn by the Talisman Sage Master throughout his life.

There are Five Thunder Talismans that can summon heavenly thunder, Invisibility Talismans that can make one invisible, Shrinking Earth Talismans that can teleport, and Vajra Talismans that can enhance defense, and so on.

In addition, there is a bottle of the Fountain of Life left by the Medicine Sage, which is the purest life essence in the world that he collected from his travels.

A single drop can heal any external injury, even a severed limb can regenerate instantly.

Not only can it heal wounds, but taking just one drop can also extend one's lifespan by at least five hundred years.

Of the nine sages, Li Yunjing was most concerned about the legacy left by the Wisdom Sage.

Wisdom Sage was the wisest among the nine sages, and also the eldest.

The other eight sages all listened to the Wisdom Sage's words.

The Wisdom Sage left behind a golden silk scroll, on which was drawn a complex star map in High Antiquity script.

This star map actually records the coordinates of 137 Dao Realm.

This was recorded by the Wisdom Sage after he personally traversed the star field in his physical body.

This broadened Li Yunjing's horizons.

He never imagined that, besides using teleportation arrays, there was actually a way to travel to other Dao Realm by physically crossing them.

However, this requires extremely high cultivation levels and the assistance of specific treasures.

The Tianyuan Dao Realm was recorded on this star map.

Around Tianyuan, there are five adjacent Dao Realm.

Wisdom Sage had been to Tianyuan and had recorded his route into Tianyuan.

Following this route, one can leave Tianyuan and then travel to other Dao Realm.

Li Yunjing currently has no plans to physically travel to other Dao Realm, but this star map will definitely come in handy later.

On the last page of the star map, there was a black Jade Slip slip, its material completely different from the other Jade Slip. It was cold to the touch and exuded an aura even more ancient than that of the Nine Sages.

Li Yunjing held the Jade Slip in his hand and probed it with his Divine Sense. An ancient secret, sealed for countless years, slowly unfolded before his eyes.

This secret has nothing to do with the Black-Yellow Realm or the Nine Sages, but it is actually related to the human race in the Tianyuan Realm.

In ancient times, the human race was divided into two branches: the Innate Human Race and the Postnatal Human Race.

The Innate Human Race possesses a pure primordial bloodline and is born with the ability to communicate with the Great Dao, yet they face difficulties in reproduction. The Postnatal Human Race has a mixed bloodline and slow cultivation, yet their population is large.

The high-ranking Innate Human Race believed that the Postnatal Human Race had defiled the human bloodline, and launched the "War of Purifying the Origin," which resulted in a massacre of the Postnatal Human Race that lasted for 100,000 years.

Ultimately, the Postnatal Human Race defeated the Innate Human Race with their indomitable will and numerical superiority.

The so-called Innate Human Race and Postnatal Human Race races are actually different races such as the Great Qiu People and the Biyuan People.

Li Yunjing noticed the words "Great Qiu" and "Biyuan" frequently in this secret.

Therefore, Li Yunjing deduced that the Great Qiu People were Postnatal Human Race.

As for the Biyuan People, they might be the Innate Human Race.

Aside from the Biyuan People, other human races originating from other places may also have followed this pattern.

This also explains why internal turmoil within the human race led to the near extinction of races like the Biyuan People.

At the end of the Jade Slip, a few lines of text had been deliberately erased, but Li Yunjing could sense that there was an even more astonishing secret behind them.

Fang Hexuan and the others also read the contents of the Jade Slip.

All three found this secret both puzzling and intriguing.

However, with so little information, they couldn't deduce anything.

After putting away the Jade Slip, Li Yunjing planned to leave Myriad Spirits Ruins of Return.

He hadn't forgotten the Five Spirits Lord's warning: he shouldn't linger here.

After taking out the Black-Yellow Origin Mark, Li Yunjing, Fang Hexuan, and the others were enveloped in a burst of light and instantly left the Myriad Spirits Ruins of Return.

However, the Black-Yellow Origin Mark did not leave with Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing vanished from his spot, Black-Yellow Origin Mark seemed to be intercepted by an invisible force, falling directly to the ground from the sky...
