Following the rugged stone path that winds around the inner wall of the valley, they descended another mile.
Just at that mont, an extrely fierce sword light burst forth from below, slashing towards everyone like a divine rainbow, dazzlingly brilliant.
This sword light definitely possessed the power of a strike from a Quasi-Immortal King.
Having experienced the sword light, Cheng Pin and the other two were no longer as startled as before, yet even standing close to Yang Ji, their expressions were still solemn.
Because this was the oppression from a strike of a Quasi-Immortal King, their Primordial Spirits were already trembling.
But Yang Ji was unafraid, and with a shake of the Wings of Ti-Space, the sword light was instantly restrained.
The group looked and discovered that it was a fragnt of a silver blade, a piece of a Quasi-Immortal King Artifact.
Yang Ji's face lit up with joy as he also gathered it into the Wings of Ti-Space, suppressing it.
In the subsequent miles they delved deeper, they consecutively acquired eight fragnts of Quasi-Immortal King Artifacts while Cheng Pin and the others also obtained many fragnts of Great Luo Immortal Sage Magical Treasures.
Yet as they continued downward, a fierce killing intent emanated from the depths of the valley, causing even Yang Ji to feel a bit chilled.
He couldn't help but stop in his tracks to calculate, but the result still indicated a great fortune amidst danger!
After pondering for a while, Yang Ji decided to continue venturing deeper.
In the darkness, it seed as if endless murderous intent could rise to the heavens at any given mont, ready to strangle them; the atmosphere was exceedingly oppressive.
"Murderous intent, it seems as if two forces of murderous intent are clashing!" Cheng Pin said gravely.
"Indeed, there are two forces of murderous intent!" Yang Ji's face was heavy with concern as everyone followed his gaze downward and were imdiately shocked.
At the valley's bottom, a mile deep, two old n were sitting in ditation, with palms facing each other, motionless as if competing in an internal force contest, maintaining a perfect balance in their stand-off.
That endless murderous intent was emanating from these two old n whose gazes were extrely cold and detached; they seed to wish nothing more than to kill each other, their killing intent soaring to the skies.
In between them, there was a glowing sphere, which internally hinted at the Sword Dao's essence without revealing it, rich with Dao; upon closer inspection, that was unmistakably—the character for 'sword'!
"That is... the character for 'sword'!" Everyone's hearts trembled violently, their pupils sharply constricting.
"The Origin Sword Character, it truly exists! To obtain it would an achieving the status of a Quasi-Immortal King." Fang Ye trembled with excitent.
"I'm afraid it's not sothing we can covet. Those two old n, could they be... Immortal Kings?" Cheng Pin's body was shaking; he could feel the endless aura of the Great Dao coming from them, the invincible presence of Immortal Kings.
"That's not an Immortal King, but a damaged Immortal King Artifact! The Immortal King Artifact has been shattered; it seems that those two Immortal Kings really did want to kill each other in their fight over this sword character." Yang Ji's gaze lifted slightly as he discerned information from the two old n and knew their identities.
"A damaged Immortal King Artifact? And not Immortal Kings?" Liu Hua said in amazent.
Swish, swish!
Two piercing gazes suddenly swept over; they were from the two old n who had transford from the damaged Immortal King Artifacts, now aware of their presence and fixating their gazes on them.
Being stared at with such cold, murderous intent made everyone feel a chill down their spine, their bodies cold, and even swallowing saliva felt as uncomfortable as having thousands of swords thrust through their throats.
They were terrified; what kind of strength, what kind of oppression was this?
Cheng Pin, Liu Hua, and Fang Ye's faces were unspeakably rigid and ugly as they quietly stepped back, avoiding those two terrifying gazes.
They knew in their hearts that the sword character was definitely not sothing they could touch, as the causality involved was too great, entangling two Immortal Kings, and now they didn't even have the courage to look in their direction.
Only Yang Ji remained standing there, frowning.
"Sword Character! This is the Origin Sword Character, a great treasure, I must obtain it, must!" The Rail Wooden Box roared, "Yang Ji, see if that sword character contains the pure 'Sword Essence' or is nurturing an 'Innate Supre Treasure', or perhaps a 'top-tier Immortal Technique'?"
"What's inside is not a top-tier Sword Dao Immortal Technique, nor an Innate Supre Treasure, but the pure Sword Essence!" Yang Ji's eyes flickered.
"Sword Essence is the best of all; absorbing it will not only help you make great strides in cultivation but also open the gates of the Great Dao, enter the Depths of the Origin, embrace the Three Thousand Grand Daos, and comprehend your own Ultimate Path," the Rail Wooden Box laughed, "Yang Ji, if you get it, you must not absorb it before facing the Immortal King, or it will all be in vain."
"I'm afraid... it can't be obtained!" Yang Ji frowned; the two old n below were the manifestation of damaged Immortal King Artifacts carrying the will and path of Immortal Kings. rely their gaze made his spine chill, their imnse power virtually insurmountable, even if he used the Wheel of Destiny, it would likely be difficult to deal with them.
Immortal Kings!
Just the inclusion of these two words signifies an insurmountable gulf.
Neither Immortal King artifacts nor Quasi-Imperial Monarchs were opponents a Great Luo Immortal Sage could defeat. Even soone as astonishing as Yang Ji, who had comprehended twenty-seven of the Great Daos, could not possibly battle above his rank and win.
The strength of those who had fused with the Dao represented a chasm between heaven and earth, undergoing an imnse leap in power.
If the Great Luo Immortal Sage wished to challenge soone of this caliber, his only chance was to rely on Magical Treasures such as complete Supre World-Stabilizing Treasures, Innate Supre Treasures, Origin Supre Treasures, and so on.
Otherwise, there was not the slightest chance of victory.
"Yang Ji, you have an opportunity! These two Magical Treasures never anticipated that soone would venture this deep. In their effort to obliterate each other, they are currently in a delicate state. Whichever one lets go and turns to attack you will undoubtedly be destroyed by the other," the Rail Wooden Box said with a leisurely chuckle. "This is your opportunity, a trendous opportunity indeed!"
"Indeed..." Yang Ji had already glimpsed so information through the Golden Finger, but he still frowned, as his prior calculations had all indicated danger mixed with a great fortune.
The fortune surely referred to this "Sword" character.
But what about the danger?
His gaze swept back and forth across the valley's underground, not missing a single corner. Apart from the two damaged Immortal King artifacts, there was no other danger in sight.
Yang Ji steeled himself, and with his eyes shrewed in calculation, he too jumped down.
His action caused the murderous intent of the two old n in a standoff to surge wildly. Their gazes beca so lethal they could kill, as the substantive killing intent pressed alarmingly close to Yang Ji.
However, a gentle quiver of the Wings of Ti-Space behind Yang Ji froze everything in place.
Finally, under the furious and anxious stares of the two old n, wide-eyed with rage, Yang Ji took away the Sword character.
It was truly a situation where they could only watch helplessly as Yang Ji claid the treasure they had battled over for millions of years. Their hearts bled with distress, their eyes turned red with rage and hatred, and though they desperately wanted to tear Yang Ji to pieces, neither dared to make a move.
As Yang Ji walked away with the Sword character, he exhaled a deep sigh of relief, took a few steps, then his eyes road about before he suddenly turned back to look at the two furiously enraged old n.
"These are two damaged Immortal King artifacts, which could surely fetch a good price. Should I go for it?" Yang Ji suddenly propped his chin, his eyes reflecting thoughtful contemplation.
?
A chill ran down the spines of the two old n internally shocked.
In their current state of stalemate, if either of them were attacked by Yang Ji, they would inevitably fall into a passive situation and be overwheld by the other.
Contemplating this possibility, they couldn't help but feel a chill spill down their backs as the atmosphere quickly grew tense.
Almost in unison, both old n sheathed their murderous intent and put on a forced, cordial smile for Yang Ji.
Their brimming desire to survive and gauge the situation forced Yang Ji to admire their cunning.
"Should I hit you first, or him?"
"Maybe I should hit him first, then you."
Yang Ji glanced between the two, indecisive.
"Actually, I'll hit you first, then him."
Eh?
The faces of the two old n stiffened as they smiled awkwardly, trying desperately to display goodwill, hoping Yang Ji wouldn't hit them first.
"Forget it, let's not fight anymore." Originally, Yang Ji intended to attack both n, but for safety's sake, he decided to abandon that idea.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, suddenly, the sound of breaking wind ca from above.
"Boy, drop the Supre Treasure, or I will make sure you have no grave to be buried in!" A thunderous voice bood like rolling thunder, resonating with a domineering aura that swept over with the Power of the Great Dao directly bearing down on him.
On the stone platform a mile above, a figure had appeared. Clad in a Holy Robe, he stood as if he were a living saintly emperor, towering between heaven and earth, laughing in disdain at the world. Any who caught sight of his gaze trembled in fear, with their hearts pounding and their livers quivering in terror.
Cheng Pin and the other two recognized the aura and were stunned with shock: "Cang Huang, you've broken through to beco a Quasi-Immortal King?"
"The Sect Master of Cangsheng Sect? I didn't expect this 'great calamity' to be him! A Quasi-Immortal King indeed!" Yang Ji's expression changed.
(Thank you to Handi for the reward, love you)
