54: Chapter 54: The Final Treasure Appears!

"Fifth-grade Spirit Medicine, Azure Emperor Longevity Fruit..." A hint of satisfaction flashed in Chu Xiao's eyes.

This kind of spiritual fruit could not only completely stabilize his Realm, which had just broken through to the Peak of Golden Core Fifth Level, making his Foundation unprecedentedly solid, but also greatly enhance his Physical Body's vitality and recovery ability.

Although it wasn't enough to allow him to Break through again, its value was in no way inferior to a small Realm advancement.

He nodded in satisfaction, placing the spiritual fruit into his Storage Ring without immediately consuming it.

Over the next two days, Chu Xiao transformed into the most terrifying "cleaner" in this area.

His figure appeared in a hidden cave.

He intercepted one hundred Golden Yuan Pills that a Jiuyou Sect Disciple was about to obtain.

These were fourth-grade Medicinal Pills that could greatly purify the spiritual power of Golden Core Cultivators, and under the System's Opportunity return, they transformed into five hundred fifth-grade Top-Grade Medicinal Pills that even Nascent Soul Old Ancestors would covet—

"Purple Extreme Golden Pills!"

Next, his figure appeared in a treacherous mountain valley filled with lightning, where he easily slayed a Golden Core Seventh Level Yao Beast guarding a Spirit Medicine, taking a fourth-grade lightning-attribute Ganoderma lucidum into his possession.

Meanwhile, the original owners of this Ganoderma lucidum, two fellow Disciples of the Tianyan Sect,

were still cautiously planning their hunting strategy dozens of miles away.

During one interception, he even unexpectedly encountered the original owner of the Opportunity—a Golden Core Sixth Level Demonic Path Loose Cultivator.

Seeing Chu Xiao alone and noticing his Tianyan Sect attire, the Demonic Cultivator immediately summoned his Magic Treasure without a word, intending to kill him and seize his treasures.

However, Chu Xiao didn't even draw his god-slaying sword.

He simply took a step forward and threw a punch.

There was no spiritual power leakage, no Sword Qi crisscrossing, only an ultimate, brutal, and overbearing Fist Intent!

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the sinister smile on the Demonic Cultivator's face instantly froze. His proud High Grade Spiritual Artifact-level armor shattered inch by inch like paper.

His entire being, along with his Golden Core and Divine Soul, was blasted into a mist of blood by that unparalleled punch!

One punch, instant kill!

This was just the tip of the iceberg of Chu Xiao's Physical Body strength after comprehending the True Meaning of Hegemonic Body.

And the item he intercepted was an unremarkable Ore, yet it contained a trace of spatial power.

When Chu Xiao's finger touched the Ore, an unprecedented System notification boomed in his mind!

[Ding! Interception of Opportunity: Void Gazer Stone successful!]

[Detected that the host intercepted a rare Luck Opportunity, triggering the Opportunity return reward!]

[Reward: One million Top-Grade Spirit Stones!]

Buzz—!

Chu Xiao felt his Storage Ring in his hand suddenly sink. When his Divine Sense probed inside, he was stunned.

Within the vast space of the Storage Ring, a dazzling mountain Peak made of Top-Grade Spirit Stones stood quietly, emitting a heart-palpitating Spiritual Qi fluctuation.

One million Top-Grade Spirit Stones!

Even with Chu Xiao's current Heart-Nature, upon seeing this terrifying wealth,

his breathing couldn't help but quicken a few beats.

One Top-Grade Spirit Stone was worth one hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones, ten thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and one million Low-Grade Spirit Stones!

One million Top-Grade Spirit Stones, that was... one billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones!

What an exaggerated number!

Even if the entire Tianyan Sect's treasury were emptied, it might not be able to gather such an enormous sum!

"I'm rich..."

These three words subconsciously appeared in Chu Xiao's mind.

His first thought was to buy a top-tier flying ship after leaving the Secret Realm.

With such a huge sum, let alone an ordinary flying ship, he could probably even buy a war behemoth comparable to a mobile fortress that could traverse the Void Realm.

But this thought was quickly suppressed by him.

"Don't show off your wealth. Although I am now at the Peak of Golden Core Fifth Level and my combat power is comparable to Golden Core Great Perfection, if I am targeted by a Nascent Soul Old Monster, there is still a risk of falling."

Chu Xiao's eyes quickly regained their calm.

This wealth was his trump card for breaking through to higher Realms in the future and must not be used lightly.

Unless he could Break through to the Nascent Soul Realm himself and possess the true strength to roam the world unhindered.

Just as his thoughts flowed, planning the use of this massive sum,

Rumble—!!!

The entire earth began to tremble violently without warning!

An indescribably vast aura soared into the sky from the distant horizon.

Stirring up the winds and clouds of the entire Feixiao Secret Realm!

Chu Xiao suddenly looked up. He could clearly feel that within a hundred-mile radius.

No, within a thousand-mile radius, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

All seemed to be summoned by some supreme existence, transforming into visible Spiritual Qi tides, madly converging towards a mountain range in the southeast direction.

Such a momentum was earth-shattering!

It was incomparable to the emergence of ordinary Spirit Medicine or ruins!

"This is... a major treasure appearing!"

Chu Xiao's eyes instantly burst with brilliance.

He could feel that the source of that aura was the place of the ultimate Opportunity.

This kind of celestial phenomenon would undoubtedly alarm all the Cultivators in the Secret Realm.

A struggle far more tragic and bloody than any before was inevitable.

"Perfect. Before the decisive battle begins, I'll use these guys who rush over at the news to further hone my sword."

Chu Xiao's lips curled slightly.

He no longer hesitated. His figure flickered, transforming into a golden Sword Rainbow that tore through the sky, carrying an unparalleled domineering and sharpness, and swiftly flew towards the center of the Spiritual Qi convergence—the Zixiao Divine Temple in Fallen Dragon Ridge!

...

Fallen Dragon Ridge.

This was the deepest and most central ancient mountain range in the Feixiao Secret Realm.

Legend has it that in ancient times, a true Dragon once fell here, its Dragon blood staining the entire mountain range, making its terrain treacherous, with Spiritual Qi and Evil Qi intertwined, never dissipating for tens of thousands of years. Ordinary Cultivators who entered it would, if not careful, have their Divine Souls corroded by the invisible Dragon Might and Evil Qi, turning into madmen.

At this moment, this dangerous place, which had been rarely visited since ancient times,

was bustling with unprecedented activity.

Streaks of light, some bright, some dim, converged from all directions of the Secret Realm towards the very center of the mountain range.

The golden Sword Rainbow formed by Chu Xiao was the most dazzling and fastest among them.

He stood on his sword high in the sky, his gaze cast downwards.

He saw a magnificent, ruined palace complex nestled amidst the encircling mountains. Although it was already broken walls and crumbling ruins, no longer retaining its past glory,

one could still glimpse its former splendor and dominance from the huge beams and vast Foundations.

Zixiao Divine Temple!

This was where the ultimate Opportunity of this Secret Realm had appeared.

And at this moment, above a colossal arena in the very center of the Divine Temple,

a terrifying Spiritual Qi vortex, over a thousand zhang in diameter, was slowly rotating.

Massive amounts of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi were swallowed by it, transformed, and turned into visible Spiritual Qi rain, like sweet dew, falling in a scattered manner.

Wherever the Spiritual Qi rain passed, withered trees revived, and moss grew on shattered stones.
