Chapter 1605: 太初囚天葫

Xu Youran released Jiang Fan, saying, "I guess I'm the one who delayed you. Go quickly; I'll wait for your return."

Jiang Fan dared not hesitate; his return for his God Transformation breakthrough had already taken too long. It was unknown how the battle in the Far East had developed.

"Senior Red Demon Grand Venerable, Rebellious Bone!"

Rebellious Bone recoiled reluctantly, but then, thinking of the delicious, sweet shoes it could chew again, its eyes lit up, and it immediately leaped onto his shoulder. The Red Demon Grand Venerable also hurried over, dragging his injured body.

Jiang Fan immediately teleported with them towards the teleportation array.

After placing the array core, Jiang Fan checked and found that the array at the Fire Worship Sect had not been damaged and could be used for direct transmission.

He immediately stepped onto it, tossing a top-grade spirit stone and a drop of Heavenly Robe Divine Water to the Red Demon Grand Venerable. "Senior, please activate the array. I have something I need to take care of."

He then immediately delved deep into his soul.

His vision gradually darkened, and when it cleared again, a towering ancient tree reaching the clouds appeared before his eyes. Compared to when he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, the Primordial Void Ancient Tree had grown even larger. Its lush green leaves provided ample shade.

Looking up, a fruit hung high, sealing a tri-colored gourd within. It was precisely the Primal Sky-Imprisoning Gourd, a Realm Artifact!

Jiang Fan's eyes gleamed with fervor as he leaped forward. This time, there were no obstacles; he easily reached the fruit and plucked it.

Jiang Fan held the fruit, examining it closely. It was a palm-sized gourd, with three colors—orange, yellow, and blue—evenly distributed in a flowing pattern across its body. The yellow and blue areas were dim, while only the orange area was vibrant.

He placed the fruit against his forehead, and a message immediately surged into his mind: "Primal Sky-Imprisoning Gourd, a mid-grade Realm Artifact. When activated, it can remotely pull enemies into the gourd. Shake it three times to refine them into Primal Seeds."

Jiang Fan raised his eyebrows. Remotely drawing enemies into the gourd was within his expectations; the name "Primal Sky-Imprisoning Gourd" clearly indicated it was a treasure for trapping enemies.

However, what were these "Primal Seeds" that were refined from trapped enemies? Were they some kind of heavenly spiritual fruit? Jiang Fan felt a slight aversion. After all, it was something refined from living beings. What was the difference between directly consuming it and ancient giants eating living people?

"The Primal Sky-Imprisoning Gourd is divided into three gourds. The Orange Gourd can capture all enemies at the God Transformation stage."

Upon receiving this information, Jiang Fan was greatly astonished. All God Transformation enemies? Including Grand Venerables experiencing the Five Decays of Heaven and Man? This was truly unbelievable! In comparison, the Decree Pen, also a Realm Artifact, didn't seem to possess such immense power.

"The Yellow Gourd can capture most Sages." Jiang Fan couldn't help but shiver. Even Sages couldn't withstand it? Once this gourd was activated, it would be almost invincible against anyone below the Saint realm!

"When the Blue Gourd appears, Saints retreat."

Jiang Fan was somewhat dumbfounded, looking at the Primal Sky-Imprisoning Gourd in his hand, feeling numb. Even Saints feared this thing? His first thought was of the Ancient Saint of the continent who had kicked his butt! In the future, when he took out this gourd, he wondered if that 'stinky woman' would still dare to be arrogant! The day he could pin her down and rub her face in the dirt was getting closer!

"To activate this gourd, one must accumulate sufficient Law Power. Only when there is enough Law Power will the three colors successively unlock."

Jiang Fan looked at the gourd, with its vibrant orange and dim yellow and blue, and understood. Based on their power, the orange was clearly the easiest to activate, followed by the yellow and then the blue, which became progressively harder. Moreover, the bright orange indicated that the Orange Gourd could be used once!

"Method of Capture: After activation, loudly proclaim the target's origin and name in their presence to successfully lock onto them."

Jiang Fan nodded in thought. There were countless people with the same name throughout the world. But if someone's origin was also known and they were present, they would naturally be unique. Unless they were identical twins with the same name, he would be able to lock onto them instantly.

"King of the Black Sun, King of the Underworld! Which of you will be the first to test my Realm Artifact?" Jiang Fan's heart surged with excitement. The Primordial Void Ancient Tree had never disappointed him!

With the Primal Sky-Imprisoning Gourd in hand, Jiang Fan did not leave. Because, following past traditions, picking a fruit would cause something else to drop. Last time, when he plucked the 'Great Evolution Sword Array' fruit, the Void Fishing Rod fell. This time, having plucked the Primal Sky-Imprisoning Gourd fruit, he wondered what would drop.

Seeing no reaction from above, Jiang Fan skillfully walked up and kicked the Primordial Void Ancient Tree, muttering, "Be sensible, don't make me rush you."

*Rustle, rustle—* The ancient tree's branches rustled loudly from the kick. A dark mass crashed through layers of branches and leaves, thudding down towards Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan quickly dodged, and a small pit appeared where he had just stood. A vein throbbed on his forehead. "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

He looked at the falling dark object and found it was a small, dented, black iron basin. It was about the size of a dog bowl and couldn't hold much. Slightly surprised, he said, "Last time, you gave me a Void Fishing Rod. This time, a dog bowl?"

However, anything produced by the Primordial Void Ancient Tree was bound to be a treasure. One couldn't judge it by its appearance alone.

He quickly picked up the basin, and a message flowed into his mind: "Treasure-Gathering Basin, a low-grade Realm Artifact. Place one item inside, and you will receive two copies. Can only be used once per day. Any item can only be placed inside once. Restrictions: Ineffective on living beings; ineffective on unique items; ineffective on items of a higher grade than the Treasure-Gathering Basin; ineffective on items produced by the Primordial Void Ancient Tree."

Jiang Fan was stunned, staring blankly at the dog bowl. "Another... another Realm Artifact?"

All his painstaking efforts and countless hardships to reach the God Transformation stage had not been in vain. The Primordial Void Ancient Tree had bestowed two Realm Artifacts at once!

And if he wasn't mistaken, wasn't this Treasure-Gathering Basin the legendary item that, when a silver coin was thrown in, it would become two, or a golden mountain would become two – the ultimate treasure for a wealthy landlord?

Of course, this Treasure-Gathering Basin was very small, unable to hold large objects, and it had many restrictions. People or pets couldn't be placed inside; items of too high a grade were also ineffective, as were unique items in the world. Even trying to replicate the Void Fishing Rod was restricted.

Yet, even with these limitations, it was still incredibly powerful! If he obtained a top-grade grand pill or an ultimate resource, wouldn't he be able to duplicate it? It truly lived up to its name as a Realm Artifact. At this level, it was utterly miraculous, far beyond what even top-grade spirit artifacts could compare to.

Jiang Fan was incredibly excited. With two Realm Artifacts, his path in the God Transformation stage would be much smoother than for ordinary people.

Holding the two items, he looked up at the Primordial Void Ancient Tree. After a brief thought, he jumped up. Based on past experience, a fruit that could only be picked by a Sage should appear. Indeed, after leaping several dozen feet, he did see a fruit.

Strangely, inside was a shimmering infant, sitting cross-legged with closed eyes, seemingly condensed from some kind of power. A wisp of information flowed into his mind: "Saint Infant. When nurtured to maturity, consuming it allows one to break through to the Saint realm. Can be plucked at the Sage realm."

Jiang Fan was dumbfounded. This fruit could actually allow one to break through to the Saint realm after consumption?

Since ancient times, no one in the Central Plains had been known to achieve a new Saint realm. The only ones known were the nine Ancient Saints. The Nine-Sun Giant Emperor in the Heavenly Realm was likely the strongest being below the Giant Emperor, yet even after a thousand years, he remained the Nine-Sun Giant Emperor. This showed that there must be an insurmountable chasm between Sages and Saints.

However, the Primordial Void Ancient Tree had turned the impossible into reality! As long as Jiang Fan broke through to the Sage realm, he would be guaranteed to enter the Saint realm!
