Chapter 187: The Origin of the Ultimate Treasure

Chapter 187: The Origin of the Ultimate Treasure

How could Supreme Sage Ta Yi not be furious?

What merits or abilities did he possess to be squatted upon by a Great Venerable?

The terrifying Thunder Serpents, each one capable of slaying a True Deity who had taken a single step in Heaven Treading.

Facing such a formidable opponent, he had absolutely no means to resist.

At that moment, Thunder God Venerable stood in the sky, a fierce gale blowing, his thick and short hair whipping in the wind.

Qi Yuan's voice reached his ears, and he was somewhat perplexed.

A large hand quickly grabbed him.

There, the immensely powerful Supreme Sage Ta Yi, had only a small piece of flesh remaining on his body.

Thunder God Venerable held that piece of flesh and appeared before Qi Yuan, "Disciple, you were too slow in telling me, but fortunately, he still has some breath left."

Thunder God Venerable opened his large palm, revealing a small piece of charred black flesh.

This flesh was even more well-done than the meat in a barbecue shop.

Yet, it was still alive.

Qi Yuan looked at the piece of flesh, his eyes gleaming, "Can you give this to me, big brother?"

He could sense that the powerful being before him was a Great Venerable.

Although he wasn't as strong as Moon Gazing Grandmaster, he was still a Great Venerable, not someone Qi Yuan could deal with at the moment.

As a man, he must be able to endure humiliation and assert himself when necessary.

"I mentioned that I would give you a gift, so I will give it to you," Thunder God Venerable handed the charred lump of flesh to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan looked at the lump of flesh, and the sword on his back appeared, emitting a brilliant flash of light.

He was about to slaughter a god to gain experience points.

"Take my sword, old man!"

Qi Yuan had long coveted this 'white moonlight'.

He had plotted and planned meticulously to deceive him.

Experience and Evil Deity Essence couldn't be wasted.

Bang!

The sword clashed with the shredded meat, and an embarrassing situation occurred.

Qi Yuan almost stumbled.

That piece of shredded meat was too fierce; he couldn't cleave it with his sword.

Thunder God Venerable witnessed this and burst into laughter, "You need to eat more meat to replenish yourself. Look at your skinny arms and legs; I doubt you could even handle three thousand women in a night."

He naturally knew that Qi Yuan hadn't reached the True Deity Realm.

Not having attained the True Deity Realm, how could he possibly fight against a True Deity?

This lump of flesh, placed before Qi Yuan, was something Qi Yuan couldn't even cut.

Thunder God Venerable had come to witness Qi Yuan's embarrassment.

As for the people in his fief, they all wanted to laugh but dared not.

After all, they had to maintain the dignity of the divine being.

At this moment, Wang Wenqi, standing beside Qi Yuan, extended her hand and plucked the lute.

Instantly, a piercing sound of the lute echoed, and the lump of flesh instantly turned to ashes.

In that instant, countless experience points surged into Qi Yuan's body.

Qi Yuan, who had just reached level 70 not long ago, rapidly ascended in levels, instantly reaching level 80 and getting stuck before level 90.

The powerful Evil Deity Essence also fell into Qi Yuan's hands.

He suddenly felt invigorated.

Only then did he turn to the short-haired, burly old man, his eyes gleaming, "Big brother's strength is impressive."

"Your talent is also remarkable," Thunder God Venerable said, looking at Qi Yuan, "In ancient times, which faction did you belong to?"

Qi Yuan looked at Thunder God Venerable and whispered, "My identity is a bit special. I'll tell you, but please don't reveal it to others."

Upon hearing this, Thunder God Venerable's heart understood.

Indeed, he was someone on a special mission; otherwise, how could he know about so many True Deities that he had never heard of?

"I belong to... the Huaxia Dragon Team!" Qi Yuan said lightly.

Who didn't know about the Huaxia Dragon Team?

It was a team filled with talented individuals; the appearance of the Four Great Kings was quite normal, wasn't it?

"Huaxia Dragon Team?" Thunder God Venerable silently repeated the four words, "I've never heard of it, but upon hearing these four words, I feel... it seems extraordinary."

"Big brother, are you interested in joining the Dragon Team?

If you join now, I can appoint you as the captain of a special operations team," Qi Yuan tried to persuade him.

The strength of a Great Venerable was indeed formidable.

Upon hearing this, Thunder God Venerable's eyes narrowed with a hint of ridicule and laughter, "I came to take you as my disciple, not to join some 'Huaxia Dragon Team'.

Isn't my strength sufficient? Come, be my disciple, and I'll treat you well."

Qi Yuan was surprised, "You want to take me as your disciple?"

"Of course."

"But your strength is insufficient."

Thunder God Venerable's smile froze upon hearing this.

"I cultivate with the Five Elements, refine Qi with the Heaven Treading Dao, and condense the Stellar Core. Your strength is passable, and you can become a member of my team, specifically as a special effects artist," Qi Yuan continued.

The music and background music were in place, but Qi Yuan still lacked a special effects artist for his expeditions.

Thunder God Venerable's endless sea of thunder and terrifying thunder god would undoubtedly be sufficient for special effects.

"Do you have a Master?" Thunder God Venerable asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Yes," Qi Yuan replied, looking at Thunder God Venerable, "I don't know how strong my Master is, but... she is definitely much stronger than you.

Even if I've condensed a Stellar Core, I wouldn't dare to provoke her."

Qi Yuan spoke earnestly.

His Master, Ruan Yixi, was always shrouded in mystery in his eyes.

"Your Master seems interesting. Where is she?" Thunder God Venerable inquired.

He pondered, thinking that Qi Yuan's Master must be incredibly powerful, perhaps even the leader of the so-called Huaxia Dragon Team.

Could she be the big shot who had taken six or even seven steps in Heaven Treading?

If so, he indeed couldn't provoke her.

"My Master is introverted," Qi Yuan said earnestly, "Because I call her 'wife' every day, she feels shy and ran away."

"..." Thunder God Venerable's expression turned peculiar, "You call your Master 'wife'?"

"She is my wife, so what's wrong with calling her that?" Qi Yuan explained matter-of-factly.

"Cough... I still won't take you as my disciple. I don't want to be called 'wife' by someone," Thunder God Venerable said, not wanting to be in that situation.

The scene would be absolutely ridiculous.

In the future, when he visited old friends, he didn't want to face that.

As the disciple kept calling out "wife, wife", he felt extremely embarrassed.

A thought occurred to him, and he asked, "Did your Master ever take you to meet her close friend?"

Qiyuan shook his head.

Shenlei Dazun understood and realized why she wouldn't dare bring him along.

Just imagining that scene made it seem exaggerated.

Qiyuan looked at Shenlei Dazun, feeling perplexed, "I think you might have misunderstood. I don't have a habit of calling men 'wife'."

Shenlei Dazun chuckled, "No misunderstanding."

"Boss, do you want to join my special effects team? If you join now... you can still be the leader." Qiyuan added.

"Once the members of the Huaxia Dragon Team and the Heavenly Court's Divine Lineage arrive here, you'll only be an extra." Qiyuan explained.

For him, it was worth trying to win Shenlei Dazun over.

Seeing this, Shenlei Dazun laughed and said, "I'm quite interested in your Huaxia Dragon Team. Let me see, which deities are there... could it be that I don't recognize any of them?"

"You can stay in Qing Shui Village, but let me be clear, don't take my kill." Qiyuan was very averse to others taking his kill.

After all, each kill was a massive experience.

"Interesting." Shenlei Dazun looked at Qiyuan, "I won't act rashly, otherwise, if I attract other powerful beings, I'll die here too."

His actions today were indeed restrained.

Otherwise, if he drew the attention of other new deities, it would be difficult for him to escape.

"That's good." Qiyuan heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

At the same time, in Flying Desert City.

In the City Lord's Mansion, everyone was filled with astonishment.

"The aura of Taiyi Venerable... has disappeared!"

"Gone?"

"Did you see the terrifying thunder and lightning just now?"

"It's definitely a True Deity! Origin Heavenly Venerable actually has external aid!"

"We've misunderstood him..."

Huang Mengying's heart sank as she spoke, feeling a bit regretful.

Initially, they had been extremely wary of Origin Heavenly Venerable.

Now that the truth was revealed, she felt immense remorse.

The others, upon hearing this, also felt ashamed.

Weak Feather also felt the same.

Out of fear of Origin Heavenly Venerable, he had directly left Stone Sand Town and arrived in Flying Desert City.

His sense of shame deepened.

At this moment, Nan Gong Wuji's expression turned solemn, "Taiyi Venerable's fall... the greatest crisis for Flying Desert City has just begun!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces in the room grew heavy.

Previously, due to Taiyi Venerable's interest in Flying Desert City, other Evil Deities had not targeted the city.

Now, with Taiyi Venerable's fall, those Evil Deities might not be able to resist invading Flying Desert City.

"Let's go to Qing Shui Village and meet Origin Heavenly Venerable." Huang Mengying made her decision.

However, about an hour passed.

A crisp voice echoed throughout Flying Desert City.

"By the order of Origin Heavenly Venerable!"

"Taiyi Venerable has fallen!"

"Flying Desert City shall host a grand feast for three days!"

Those who were originally planning to go to Qing Shui Village all stopped in their tracks.

Nan Gong Wuji shook his head, "This Origin Heavenly Venerable is truly a remarkable person, what a pity, such a pity."

"What's the pity?" someone asked Nan Gong Wuji.

"It's a pity I worship Gluttony Saintess. Otherwise, I would have feasted for three days." Nan Gong Wuji spoke with a sense of wonder, "Since Origin Heavenly Venerable wants to host a three-day feast in Flying Desert City, it means he's taking over the city.

As for the invasion of Evil Deities, with him handling it, we don't need to worry."

As soon as Taiyi Venerable descended, he was slain by Origin Heavenly Venerable, a village-level deity from Qing Shui Village.

This news spread like wind to the nearby cities and regions.

Many True Deities took notice of Qiyuan, their eyes filled with curiosity, while some Evil Deities looked at him with disdain, not considering him a threat.

Some Ancient Deities also showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

In the Northern Sea Dragon Eye.

A woman in a luxurious robe held some invitations in her fair hands.

Her eyes carried a trace of surprise and a smile, "The Origin Heavenly Venerable from Qing Shui Village... actually killed Taiyi Venerable, how intriguing."

This was the second time she had heard of Origin Heavenly Venerable's name.

A few days ago, the Palace Lord of the Northern Sea Dragon Eye wanted to hold the Hundred Flowers Festival and sent out invitations to some Ancient Deities.

She was in charge of this matter.

A few days ago, a close friend of hers had asked for an additional spot.

She took a look; the person was only a village-level guardian deity, not even a True Deity, and might not even have a Purple Mansion.

She had no choice but to politely refuse her friend.

Otherwise, the Hundred Flowers Festival would be open to anyone and their cat or dog.

But now, since the other party had True Deity-level combat power, she decided to do her friend a favor.

"Bring Ma Po over here." The woman in the flowery robe ordered.

Soon after, an old woman entered the palace.

Ma Po's expression was slightly dazed, her eyes cloudy, and she didn't look well.

"Ma Po, the Qing Shui Village guardian deity you mentioned last time should have True Deity Realm combat power."

"Originally, he wouldn't have qualified for the Hundred Flowers Festival, but since we've been friends for many years, I'll give him this invitation." The woman in the flowery robe took out an invitation and tossed it to Ma Po.

Ma Po received the invitation, and her cloudy eyes cleared for a moment, "Thank you."

The woman in the flowery robe smiled, "Why mention it between us? You should remind that Ancient Deity that the guests at the Northern Sea Dragon Eye this time are all of noble status. He should act low-key.

Otherwise, if he offends the other Ancient Deities, I won't be able to smooth things over."

"Okay." Ma Po nodded.

The woman in the flowery robe looked at Ma Po with a sigh, "Our two clans used to be close in ancient times, and we were both great clans back then. What a pity..."

The Northern Sea Dragon Eye was inhabited by the Northern Sea Clan.

Without the consent of the Water Clan, even a True Deity cannot enter the Northern Sea Dragon Eye.

Moreover, with the advantage of its geographical location, no Evil Deity has currently set their sights on the Northern Sea Dragon Eye.

Within the Northern Lands, the safest place is the Northern Sea Dragon Eye.

Every year, numerous True Deities seek refuge within the Northern Sea Dragon Eye.

At this moment, Old Woman Ma's eyes shone with sharpness, "The Phoenix Clan will surely rise from the ashes!"

As long as the young miss returns to the ancestral lands, she will undoubtedly have the chance to obtain the Phoenix Clan's inheritance and restore the clan's glory.

In ancient times, the Phoenix Clan produced several Heaven Treading Sixth Step Great Beings.

They were all considered giants in ancient times.

...

Green Water Village.

Qi Yuan held five treasures in his hands, looking perplexed.

"These five treasures... can't even help me break through to the True Deity Realm?"

After reaching the 89th level, Qi Yuan had been preparing to ascend to the True Deity Realm.

However, despite having prepared these five treasures, Qi Yuan had a premonition that he wouldn't be able to break through.

He glanced at the five treasures.

[Mystic Armor, with a peculiar origin, can assist one in breaking through to the True Deity Realm.]



...

[Three Joy Jade, with a peculiar origin, can assist one in breaking through to the True Deity Realm.]



"It clearly states that it can help, so why can't I do it?

Am I not human?"

Qi Yuan looked at these treasures, feeling perplexed and a bit curious.

He seemed to have thought of something and walked out of the temple.

Immediately, he saw his goddaughter Qi Qi and Thunder God Venerable.

After arriving at Green Water Village, Thunder God Venerable had intended to take Qi Qi as his disciple.

However, upon meeting Qi Qi, he changed his mind and wanted to take her as his disciple instead.

Unfortunately, Qi Qi did not agree.

How could her efforts compare to her godfather's? "Qi Qi, your talent is no less than your godfather's. It would be a waste if you didn't cultivate it." Thunder God Venerable earnestly advised.

Qi Qi shook her head, "Don't say more, I refuse."

At this moment, Qi Yuan's light laughter echoed, "Qi Qi is right. If you accept him as your master, wouldn't he be of the same generation as me? I'd feel wronged."

Thunder God Venerable's eyes widened upon hearing this, "Am I not good enough for you?"

"Just a little bit," Qi Yuan replied honestly.

If looks could kill, Thunder God Venerable would have slain Qi Yuan dozens of times, "You brat, your mouth is even more foul than mine. Be careful, or you'll bring disaster upon yourself!"

Although he said this, Thunder God Venerable felt that Qi Yuan was very much to his liking.

Otherwise, someone who wasn't even a True Deity wouldn't dare to act so boldly before him.

"I brush my teeth every day, so my mouth isn't foul." Qi Yuan looked at Thunder God Venerable, "Do you want me to recommend a toothpaste...

Yeah, Yi Nai Si Ya Ya Le, it's perfect for you."

Thunder God Venerable gave Qi Yuan a sidelong glance, "You were supposed to be preparing to break through to the True Deity Realm inside, why did you come out?"

Qi Yuan took out the five Ultimate Treasures, his gaze turning desolate, "Sigh, I don't know why, but these Ultimate Treasures can't help me break through."

Upon hearing this, Thunder God Venerable's eyes flashed with surprise, "You can't break through?"

"Yeah," Qi Yuan nodded vigorously.

Thunder God Venerable's eyes widened, his gaze intense, "These Ultimate Treasures can indeed help one break through to the True Deity Realm.

But... some true Heavenly Talents have immense potential, and one treasure is insufficient for them to break through.

You need... more."

Are you one of those Heavenly Talents? I can't tell."

Thunder God Venerable was perplexed.

Such Heavenly Talents were rare.

Qi Yuan's face fell upon hearing this, "Is it that exaggerated?"

He knew that treasures like the Yinsheng Stone were limited in number in this world.

Or rather, there were only so many of them.

If there were restrictions on breaking through, wouldn't summoning a deity like Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun require even more treasures to break through?

"Speaking of this, we have to go back to ancient times," Thunder God Venerable began, his gaze fixed on the treasures in Qi Yuan's hands, "Do you know what these treasures are?"

"Huh?" Qi Yuan held the treasures, looking perplexed.

"These Ultimate Treasures are actually... the final transformation of the Gluttony Goddess before her death." Thunder God Venerable's voice carried a desolate tone, "During the Hong Tang War, the Gluttony Goddess was the strongest Ancient Deity in the Mundane Heart World.

She was just one step away from the True Deity Realm.

But in the face of the Evil Deity, she eventually fell.

With the invasion of the Evil Deity, the pillar of the Mundane Heart World was shattered, and from then on... no one from the Mundane Heart World could break through to the True Deity Realm.

Unable to bear this, the Gluttony Goddess, before her death, transformed herself into these Ultimate Treasures, leaving an alternative path for the people of the Mundane Heart World."

Qi Yuan was slightly moved by this.

The Gluttony Goddess's action was like a falling whale giving birth to countless beings.

"Precisely because of this, if someone's talent is too high, surpassing the Gluttony Goddess, a single Ultimate Treasure may not be enough for them to break through to the True Deity Realm.

Even some with exceptional talent may not break through, despite having numerous treasures," Thunder God Venerable explained slowly.

Although the Gluttony Goddess was once suspected to be the strongest in the Mundane Heart World, her talent wasn't the absolute pinnacle.

PS: There's about one more chapter and two and a half hours left. During this time, I'd like to recommend a book, "Shocked: The Empress Has Carded Me!"

Actually, I've always wanted to write this kind of story, where ancient deities get stuck in walls, but due to time constraints, I recommended it to some author friends, and it's really interesting!
