The newly opened Grand Hall of the Heavenly Extremes Sun Moon Pagoda, with its entrance completely blasted apart by Jiang Li’s Heavenly Extremes Nine Revolutions, thrummed with an intense, violent energy, accompanied by faint tearing sounds.
From the gaping maw of the hall, surges of spiritual power poured forth, carrying with them an incredibly rich and pure fragrance.
Not far away, the Nightmare Beast had arrived beside Jiang Li.
Jiang Li retracted the Heavenly Extremes Sun Moon Pagoda and, with the Nightmare Beast, stepped into the hall.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Upon entering, Jiang Li felt an even more potent surge of spiritual energy flooding towards him.
The Samsara Immortal Scripture automatically began to operate, and the power of the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Body also exerted its influence, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
As Jiang Li absorbed the fierce primal spiritual energy of the surroundings, he slowly continued his journey deeper into the hall.
It was a cavernous hall, with intricate formations etched onto its walls, emanating a terrifying aura.
Besides the terrifying spiritual aura, there was also an intense heat that made the surrounding air churn restlessly.
Powerful spirit-gathering formations were arranged throughout the hall.
These formations fed power to the numerous runes on the walls, and a relentless pressure emanated from them, as if suppressing something.
In the center of the hall stood a massive black furnace. The formations from the surrounding walls seemed to crawl out and encircle it, forming an incredibly profound seal.
The wisps of searing heat seemed to originate from this furnace.
“What is that!” Jiang Li’s gaze fell upon the furnace, the heat emanating from within causing him a slight tremor and a subtle, imperceptible quivering.
Jiang Li’s Fire Fusion Scripture seemed to stir with a long-forgotten excitement.
Could it be a spiritual fire within? Jiang Li’s heart pounded, the more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
Besides a spiritual fire, nothing else could evoke such a reaction from his Fire Fusion Scripture.
Moreover, judging by this excitement, the spiritual fire was of no low caliber, at least of divine rank.
However, how was this furnace to be opened? Jiang Li felt a wave of confusion.
His Heavenly Extremes Sun Moon Pagoda had no reaction whatsoever!
“Master, look, there’s an herb garden here!” Just then, a hurried cry sounded in Jiang Li’s ear.
The Nightmare Beast had discovered a trove of treasures in another side hall.
Jiang Li’s eyes lit up. He decided to investigate there first; dealing with the spiritual fire could wait.
Following this, Jiang Li quickly sped towards the Nightmare Beast’s location.
Upon reaching the area, he indeed found a vast herb garden in another side hall, filled with all sorts of rare, top-tier spiritual herbs.
Spiritual herbs tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years old, were abundant, numbering in the thousands. The dense spiritual energy was almost palpable.
Gazing at the numerous spiritual herbs before him, Jiang Li’s eyes burned with fervor. Such a wealth of spiritual herbs would sustain his cultivation for a considerable time, enough to even reach the mid-stage of the Supreme realm.
Truly, the hidden treasury of a Quasi-Emperor was exceptional, especially that of a top-tier artifact refining master like Heavenly Extremes Quasi-Emperor; one treasury was worth many fortuitous encounters.
Jiang Li then examined other side halls and found a multitude of weapons, seemingly crafted by Heavenly Extremes Quasi-Emperor. These were all powerful Saint Weapons and various Divine Weapons, along with an array of artifact refining materials, all treasures of incalculable value.
Among them were top-grade materials capable of forging Divine Weapons, and Jiang Li even discovered materials suitable for refining Emperor Weapons.
In the last side hall were many of Heavenly Extremes Quasi-Emperor’s artifact refining insights, along with numerous secret techniques and divine abilities, though none were suitable for Jiang Li.
Jiang Li didn't mind; he was already immensely satisfied with the treasures he had acquired.
“Hmm, this…” Among the many scrolls and texts in a side hall, Jiang Li discovered three bottles emitting a potent medicinal fragrance.
“Emperor Spirit Pills, three-revolution Emperor Spirit Pills!” Jiang Li’s heart surged with excitement as he beheld these pills imbued with boundless spiritual energy.
These were indeed three-revolution Emperor Spirit Pills, marked with three profound Dao patterns, containing an incredibly mysterious power.
Emperor Spirit Pills were top-tier spiritual pills, exquisite elixirs suitable for Quasi-Emperor cultivation, capable of boosting spiritual energy and breaking through bottlenecks, making them extremely precious Emperor-grade pills.
Besides these, there were other assorted pills, but perhaps due to the immense passage of time, many had completely lost their spiritual energy.
Only a few bottles of Emperor Spirit Pills retained their efficacy.
A massive profit! Jiang Li then collected all the treasures he had found – spiritual herbs, divine weapons, various refining materials, ancient texts, and spiritual pills, not letting any slip away.
Next, he would investigate the spiritual fire in the furnace, hoping it wouldn’t disappoint him.
After stowing away the various treasures, Jiang Li returned to the main hall.
In the center of the hall, the surrounding formations still exuded a terrifying sealing power, suppressing the furnace.
Jiang Li extended his spiritual sense, examining the seal before him, attempting to find a way to break it from the formations.
However, Jiang Li’s spiritual sense seemed too weak; it had no effect on this top-tier sealing formation.
“It seems I must resort to brute force to break this seal!”
Jiang Li took a deep breath, making up his mind to use the power of the Heavenly Extremes Sun Moon Pagoda and Heavenly Extremes Nine Revolutions to forcibly shatter the sealing formations.
He then summoned his Heavenly Extremes Sun Moon Pagoda.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
However, as soon as Jiang Li summoned the Heavenly Extremes Sun Moon Pagoda, the central furnace unleashed a fierce burst of energy.
The entire hall began to shake violently, as if a terrifying power was rippling outwards. The surrounding formations suddenly flickered with mystical power.
The Heavenly Extremes Sun Moon Pagoda beside Jiang Li also emitted waves of energy, pulsing outward.
Jiang Li’s eyes narrowed. What was happening? Could the Heavenly Extremes Sun Moon Pagoda itself be capable of breaking this formation seal?
“Swish!”
A moment later, a brilliant stream of light flashed from within the furnace.
A spectral image of a True Spirit, imbued with terrifying energy, appeared above the hall.
The spectral image of the True Spirit resembled a middle-aged man, his facial features only vaguely discernible, his aura majestic, like that of an supreme emperor.
“Old friend, you have finally arrived? To complete that unfinished transformation?” the spectral image of the True Spirit asked, its voice hoarse and ancient, looking at the Heavenly Extremes Sun Moon Pagoda in the center of the hall.
