Chapter 612: Eight Tribulation Era Secret Treasure

Qianshan Star, Eternal Tower, Ninth Floor.

Meng Chuan stood here, gazing at the numerous illusory images of treasures floating before him.

"Among the treasures listed within the Eternal Tower, there is no Nine Tribulations Lightning Sand." Meng Chuan searched repeatedly. He understood that ultimate techniques like the *Void Atlas*, once learned by powerful beings who had comprehended the Dao of Space, could be re-created and thus openly sold. Some rare treasures occasionally appeared in the outer void. However, Nine Tribulations Lightning Sand was only produced historically when a body-cultivation Eight Tribulations Realm expert underwent their tribulation. It required a unique environment, a specific method for an Eight Tribulations body-cultivator to resist the lightning punishment, and numerous other factors combined to create it.

Its creation was extremely difficult to replicate; each grain used meant one less available. Even Eight Tribulations Realm mighty figures valued it highly because every 'Nine Tribulations Lightning Sand' contained the power of the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation lightning punishment.

"There's no other way to acquire it quickly."

Meng Chuan looked up. As the manager of this Eternal Tower branch, he activated the tower's formation, causing a massive eye to appear above him. This eye possessed some characteristics of the Eye of Eternity.

"I am willing to offer the Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure 'Heart of Immeasurable' as a reward for one grain of Nine Tribulations Lightning Sand," Meng Chuan announced. As he spoke, he waved his hand, and an image of the 'Heart of Immeasurable' materialized beside him.

Meng Chuan's record was merely of its appearance as he had once seen it.

"Confirm bounty release?" the massive eye continued.

"Confirm," Meng Chuan replied, a complex feeling in his heart. It was the first time he had exchanged a secret treasure from Ancestor Cang Yuan's treasury, only to sell it.

If he successfully passed his tribulation, he would certainly repay the Cang Yuan Realm well, which was also the only way to repay Ancestor Cang Yuan.

After just a few breaths, the massive single eye above stated, "Bounty has been released."

Meng Chuan left the Eternal Tower branch and landed on a mountain peak on Qianshan Star, looking towards the many cultivators within Dongning City in the distance.

"If I fail my tribulation, Dongning City will also disperse, and the Three Bays Galaxy will revert to its former chaos." Meng Chuan sighed with emotion.

The outer void was like this: a mighty figure determined the order! When a mighty figure passed away, order would collapse.

With order, the weak could still rely on it. Without order, the most tragic fate befell the weak, who would be exploited, forced to sell valuables at cheap prices, or even hunted and massacred.

"Selling the Heart of Immeasurable this time..." Meng Chuan still felt some pressure, as it was an Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure. "The Heart of Immeasurable was the least expensive Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure in Ancestor Cang Yuan's treasury. Ancestor Cang Yuan set its price for his descendants from the homeland at 180,000 units of value. Trading it for a grain of Nine Tribulations Lightning Sand cannot be considered a loss."

Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasures could only be refined by at least Eight Tribulations Realm mighty figures.

Historically, very few Eight Tribulations Realm experts had emerged in the entire outer void, and the existence of Eternal Beings was an even more ethereal legend. Thus, the quantity of Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasures was limited. Most Six Tribulations Realm mighty figures coveted them but could not obtain them; they typically started at a minimum of '150,000 units of value', and it was normal for superior ones to cost several times more.

Most importantly, there were very few transactions for them in the outside world.

The 'Heart of Immeasurable' that Meng Chuan presented this time was an entry-level treasure of the Immeasurable lineage, containing complete spatial and temporal laws!

Containing complete spatial and temporal laws was a prerequisite for any Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure, which was one reason for their high value. On the other hand, Seven Tribulations Realm mighty figures desperately sought them; for them, different Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasures allowed them to comprehend time and space from various perspectives.

Because Seven Tribulations Realm experts collected them frantically with no outflow, the price of Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasures naturally remained high.

Although Nine Tribulations Lightning Sand was more unique and rarer, it was ultimately just a material. According to the common understanding in the outer void, Nine Tribulations Lightning Sand's appeal was still slightly lower than that of an Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure.

The bounty spread, making it known to mighty figures throughout the River of Spacetime.

Within a secret realm, a slumbering crimson dragon in endless flames opened its eyes: "The Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure, Heart of Immeasurable?"

As a Six Tribulations Realm mighty figure, he had long been monitoring information regarding 'Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasures' through his Eternal Tower token, receiving any news about them immediately.

He was willing to exhaust all his treasures to exchange for an Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure suitable for himself.

"A bounty for Nine Tribulations Lightning Sand?" The crimson dragon frowned slightly, a hint of reluctance in its expression. "Another exchange of goods!"

The more precious and rare an item, the more often transactions involved bartering.

He could not buy an Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure.

He also did not possess Nine Tribulations Lightning Sand.

"Nine Tribulations Lightning Sand, it's rumored that historically, all Eight Tribulations Realm mighty figures have collected it, with the vast majority ending up in various high-level worlds," the crimson dragon sighed. "I knew it wouldn't be easy to obtain an Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure."

He closed his eyes again and resumed his slumber, understanding that for him, an Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure was too distant.

"An Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure, offered as a bounty through the Eternal Tower? I wonder who the owner of the Heart of Immeasurable is." In a mysterious place in the chaotic void, endless gray mist spread, within which a gray-robed figure materialized. The gray robe had blood-colored patterns, and his three eyes were completely dim. "If I knew the owner, I could simply seize it directly."

The benefit of trading through the Eternal Tower was its confidentiality. The manager of that particular Eternal Tower branch was Meng Chuan himself, so there was no need to worry about leaks.

"I am willing to offer 250,000 units of value to purchase the Heart of Immeasurable." In a river-region level branch of the Eternal Tower, its manager, a short, stout old man with messy hair and blood-red eyes, anxiously said, "Eye of Eternity, send a message to the bounty issuer. I will buy the Heart of Immeasurable for 250,000 units of value."

Within the Eternal Tower's trading network, an Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure attracted the attention of numerous mighty figures, with several Seven Tribulations Realm experts even taking notice.

However, for Seven Tribulations Realm mighty figures, the power of the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation lightning punishment contained within Nine Tribulations Lightning Sand was also very important, and the Heart of Immeasurable was merely a lower-tier Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure. They generally possessed several Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasures and saw no need to exchange Nine Tribulations Lightning Sand for it.

As for Six Tribulations Realm mighty figures? They fervently desired the 'Heart of Immeasurable', but most did not possess Nine Tribulations Lightning Sand, as both items belonged to the same tier of treasures.

In a high-level living world, the Starry Sky Realm.

The body-cultivation methods of the Starry Sky lineage were among the best in the entire outer void.

"Everyone, the recent bounty posted by the Eternal Tower is offering the Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure 'Heart of Immeasurable' for one grain of Nine Tribulations Lightning Sand." In a grand hall, a silver-haired man seated in a secondary position said, "Immeasurable laws are the core of our Starry Sky lineage's body cultivation methods! An Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure guided by the Immeasurable lineage — I believe we must acquire it."

"Haha, we in the Starry Sky Realm possess more than just one Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure guided by the Immeasurable lineage," an elder in the grand hall chuckled.

"Different mighty figures use different methods to refine secret treasures. This 'Heart of Immeasurable' might bring us different insights," the silver-haired man said.

"We only have fifteen grains of Nine Tribulations Lightning Sand in our Starry Sky Realm; I think we should be cautious."

"Let's be cautious."

"Teng Jiuyu, you already possess an Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure; there's no need for this Heart of Immeasurable," most of the powerful figures in the hall opposed.

The silver-haired man sat there and stated coldly, "All you seniors have already transcended the cycle of reincarnation, becoming immortal and indestructible. I am the only Six Tribulations Realm expert in the contemporary Starry Sky Realm, and I still hope to advance further... to completely master the Immeasurable laws and step into the Seven Tribulations Realm. I can feel that this 'Heart of Immeasurable' is completely different from the 'Immeasurable Divine Spear' I possess. I am determined to obtain this Heart of Immeasurable."

The surrounding mighty figures hesitated.

Teng Jiuyu was the strongest expert in the contemporary Starry Sky Realm, naturally making him special.

"I will use the 120,000 merit points I've accumulated, and incur a debt of another 30,000 merit points to our home realm. Can I exchange this for the Nine Tribulations Lightning Sand?" Teng Jiuyu's gaze swept across the mighty figures.

"Debt? Merit points can be borrowed?" the elder asked.

"Enough,"

the tall man, the only one seated in the highest position in the hall, looked down and smiled, "I will add the 30,000 merit points for Jiuyu. With 150,000 merit points for one grain of Nine Tribulations Lightning Sand, do any of you have objections?"

"Since Your Majesty has spoken, we naturally have no objections," everyone present respectfully saluted.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," the silver-haired man also said with extreme reverence.

The tall man seated above the hall smiled as he looked down, nodding, "It has been a long time since our Starry Sky Realm produced a Seven Tribulations Realm expert, Jiuyu. We're counting on you."

"I will naturally do my utmost," the silver-haired man respectfully replied.

Five hours after Meng Chuan issued the bounty.

"The bounty succeeded?" Meng Chuan was filled with joy on the ninth floor of the Eternal Tower. Offering an Eight Tribulations Realm secret treasure as a bounty truly expedited the process!
