Chapter 3105

Dong Xueli and the other four were filled with anticipation, eager to see what they would receive.

Wang Qingshan smiled faintly. With a flip of his right hand, a green storage ring appeared. He gently shook it, and a large swathe of green light swept out, revealing a pile of items on the ground.

The items included Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures, crafting materials, puppet beasts, ores, and more. Among them were two severely damaged sixth-tier puppet beasts, but no seventh-tier ones.

"A mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure!"

Wang Qingfeng's gaze landed on a small green bell. Engraved with patterns of birds, beasts, fish, and insects, the bell shimmered with spiritual light, clearly a mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.

Three small characters, "Myriad Beast Bell," were conspicuously carved onto the bell.

"The Heavenly Void Jade Scroll!"

Wang Tun Tian's eyes fixed on a page of a shimmering scroll. Runes flickered on its surface, exuding astonishing spiritual energy.

It was an unexpected delight that True Monarch Bai Kui's reclusive cave had a page of the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll.

After counting, they tallied their acquired treasures.

They found six mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures: four offensive, one auxiliary, and the Myriad Beast Bell, which was used to control demon beasts.

There were over two thousand top-grade spirit stones, fifteen sets of Dharma Idol materials, including one set each of the relatively rare Golden Adamant Crystal and Ice Soul Crystal. The remaining thirteen sets of Dharma Idol materials were all Five Elements materials.

They also found thousands of puppet beasts, mostly fourth-tier, along with fifteen fifth-tier puppet beasts, two damaged sixth-tier ones, and a batch of seventh-tier crafting materials, including a 50,000-year-old Seven-Orifice Bloodwood.

There were over a hundred jade slips and an inheritance orb.

They carefully examined the contents of each jade slip, finding a wide range of information, mostly related to artifact crafting.

True Monarch Bai Kui had visited the Qian Yuan Continent and even entered the Qian Yuan Grotto-Heaven.

Wang Qingfeng channeled his spiritual power into the inheritance orb. The orb glowed with dazzling spiritual light, emitting a golden beam that transformed into the ethereal image of a handsome young man in a golden robe.

"I am True Monarch Bai Kui, the second disciple of Divine Monarch Wanbao," the young man's phantom introduced himself. "If someone has obtained this inheritance orb, it likely means I am no longer among the living. The greatest fortune of my life was being accepted as a disciple by my master..."

The young phantom briefly introduced himself and recounted his life story.

He began as a rogue cultivator, earning a living by hunting demon beasts. He endured countless hardships before finally advancing to the Spirit Transformation stage.

Divine Monarch Wanbao, an Integration stage cultivator, fought with a Transmission Elder of the Witch Tribe. Severely wounded with extensive physical damage, he had to possess a Core Formation cultivator. Extremely weak at the time, he unfortunately encountered a fifth-tier demon beast. Fortunately, True Monarch Bai Kui intervened and helped him. True Monarch Bai Kui did not know he had saved Divine Monarch Wanbao, merely thinking he was assisting a Core Formation cultivator.

After Divine Monarch Wanbao recovered his cultivation, he sought out True Monarch Bai Kui, took him as a disciple, and taught him artifact crafting techniques. Later, when Divine Monarch Wanbao advanced to the Mahayana stage, True Monarch Bai Kui's status as his second disciple also rose significantly.

To further his cultivation, Divine Monarch Wanbao embarked on travels and never returned. After True Monarch Bai Kui advanced to the Integration stage, he also traveled to the Xuanling Continent and the Qian Yuan Continent.

He entered the Qian Yuan Grotto-Heaven to search for treasures. During a fierce battle with an alien Integration stage cultivator, his physical body was destroyed, but he also slew his enemy. He obtained a page of the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll. After breaking its seals, he discovered that the scroll contained puppet crafting techniques, along with the methods for refining over a dozen top-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures, including the Cross-Spirit Treasure Ship.

True Monarch Bai Kui underwent soul possession and re-cultivation. Relying on the contents of the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll, his artifact crafting skills improved greatly, even allowing him to refine two seventh-tier puppet beasts. He once single-handedly fought against three Integration stage Barbarians.

To overcome his fifth grand heavenly tribulation, True Monarch Bai Kui, now at the late Integration stage, entered the Myriad Spirit Ruins to seek treasures. There, he encountered four Integration stage cultivators from the Witch Tribe, led by Shang Shen, a Guardian Elder of the Witch Tribe. A bloody battle ensued.

His two seventh-tier puppets were destroyed, and four mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures were rendered useless. True Monarch Bai Kui killed three Integration stage cultivators and severely wounded Shang Shen. Before dying, one of the Integration stage cultivators used his own soul as a medium to cast a malicious curse, the Seven-Star Soul Severing Arrow, targeting True Monarch Bai Kui. This curse specifically targeted the soul; once afflicted, the soul would continuously dissipate, rendering even the departure of the Nascent Soul useless.

True Monarch Bai Kui frantically searched for a place to heal, but it was in vain. His soul continued to dissipate, ultimately leading to his demise. His dying wish was for the fated person who inherited his legacy to eliminate Shang Shen, if conditions allowed.

Dong Xueli remarked, "Shang Shen! He sounds like one of the previous Guardian Elders of the Witch Tribe. He's already dead."

Cui Yao's collected intelligence was very detailed, documenting all well-known experts of the Witch Tribe.

"The 'Myriad Puppets Codex'! Flesh and Blood Spiritual Puppets! Cross-Spirit Treasure Ship!"

Wang Qingfeng gasped, his expression filled with excitement.

The Heavenly Void Jade Scroll contained puppet techniques, specifically named the "Myriad Puppets Codex," which detailed the refining methods for various puppet beasts, including Flesh and Blood Spiritual Puppets.

The Myriad Puppets Codex even recorded refining methods for several eighth-tier puppet beasts, as well as the Cross-Spirit Treasure Ship and over a dozen top-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures.

Among these was a top-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure called the Myriad Spirit Bell, rumored to be able to control eighth-tier demon beasts. However, its crafting materials were too rare. True Monarch Bai Kui could not gather all the necessary ingredients, so he found many substitute materials to refine the Myriad Beast Bell, a mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. He claimed it was left to him by Divine Monarch Wanbao and could control demon beasts below the seventh tier.

This page of the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll greatly strengthened the Wang family's foundation. Once brought back to Qinglian Island and given sufficient time, Wang Changsheng's artifact crafting skills would achieve a qualitative leap.

"We can't refine eighth-tier Flesh and Blood Spiritual Puppets, but even if we could refine seventh-tier ones, it would be significant," Duan Tongtian said solemnly. "It would at least add an Integration stage combatant."

"We must leave the Myriad Spirit Ruins immediately," Wang Qingshan stated gravely, his heart pounding with excitement. "We absolutely must send this page of the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll back to Qinglian Island. With it, our family's artifact crafters' puppet-making skills will undergo a qualitative leap."

Among the hundreds of jade slips, there was a cultivation technique called "Nine Flames True Scripture," which could be cultivated to the late Mahayana stage. Divine Monarch Wanbao had obtained this from the reclusive cave of a Mahayana cultivator.

Their gains were substantial enough; there was no need to remain in the Myriad Spirit Ruins.

They divided the treasures. Wang Qingshan took the Myriad Beast Bell and the Seven-Star Soul-Stabilizing Lock, both mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures. The Seven-Star Soul-Stabilizing Lock was an auxiliary treasure that, when worn, had the effect of calming the spirit, stabilizing the soul, and nourishing divine sense.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Qingfeng could also refine treasures with similar effects to the Seven-Star Soul-Stabilizing Lock, but due to material limitations, they were only low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures.

Crafting materials for special treasures like those that counter divine sense attacks, soul treasures, and spatial treasures were still quite difficult to find.

At least 100,000-year-old Soul-Nourishing Wood was required to refine a mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.

Duan Tongtian received two mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures, and the remaining two were given to Wang Xiangrong.

Wang Xiangrong dismantled the formation, and the group departed from the underground cave.

On a towering mountain peak, Han Yiqing and Han Xuemei stood at the summit, their faces filled with anger.

Shang Li had snatched the seventh-tier Nine-Colored Worm. They had used curses, aided by two seventh-tier spirit insects, to kill three human cultivators, but three of their own Integration stage cultivators also died in battle.

All their Void Refinement juniors were killed, with none spared.
