World Treasure Box
The bronze piece wasn’t large and was covered in green rust. It was right in the mist and was definitely from the same piece as the bronze piece in Shi Hao’s pocket. They could be pieced together.
Without the dual-pupils, it would be difficult to see it at all. The mist was extremely strange and difficult to see clearly with the naked eye. This once again proved how terrifying the dual-pupiled individual was.
“When can I have Heavenly Eyes? At the very least, I can see through these illusions.” Shi Hao said to himself.
Of course, now wasn’t the time to be distracted. He felt a bit of a headache. That bronze piece was no longer in a safe area. If he wanted to obtain it, he had to break through the formation and enter.
“You really found it?” The big red bird was astonished. They only came here to take a chance, yet they actually found something.
This was something that had disappeared since the ancient era, yet they were still able to see it again. It really was a bit unexpected.
Even Lin Kun was stupefied. He already visited this place the day before. After carefully searching around, he still didn’t obtain anything.
He never expected this savage teenager to have such great luck. He saw it as soon as he arrived. That was unbelievable. He was no longer conflicted before this, but now, he was envious again.
Was the legendary divine butterfly going to reappear in this world? Lin Kun was momentarily stupefied. Even though he was already old, he was still as excited as a young man.
“I might have a chance to see the legendary thing…” He said to himself with a trembling voice.
Shi Hao and the others naturally couldn’t calm down either. They were all excited, and all of them tried to think of a way to bring that piece of bronze out. However, no one dared to act rashly.
Even divine-level experts fell here, yet only two and a half formations were broken.
“It’s not that far. Perhaps we can use precious techniques to move it over,” the Rainbow Luan said, eager to give it a try.
“Be careful. We’ll protect you.” The big red bird’s eyes flickered.
“Watch carefully.” After the Rainbow Luan arrived in the Medicine Capital, it had always been in its human form. Otherwise, their appearances would immediately be recognized.
He sat at the edge of the formation, five bright feathers rising from his back, their colors all different. Then, with a whoosh, five streaks of divine light swept out, entering the formation.
Boom!
At that moment, the third formation erupted, surging with a wave of terrifying aura. It was as if a wave struck the heavens, engulfing all directions.
Even the safe region was shaking intensely. It was filled with a wave of tyrannical fluctuations that was about to crush one to pieces.
The Rainbow Luan spat out a mouthful of blood. Its face turned pale, and it looked terrified. The five-colored divine light it swept out was devoured, and it suffered a rebound.
“How terrifying. The Rainbow Luan didn’t fall into the formation but just gave it a slight try, yet it’s attacked by such power.” Shi Hao frowned. He knew that he had encountered great trouble.
“Who is taking reckless action? Are you trying to kill everyone?!” In the distance, the great figures of the Medicine Capital berated angrily.
Lin Kun hurriedly walked up and chatted with them for a bit. Only then did he appease everyone’s anger. He also learned about the situation from them. These people had also taken action before, and as a result, quite a few people were injured.
One of them was extremely bold and wished to separate the mist to enter the formation. However, he exploded and was annihilated.
“How can the Heavenly Deity Formation be something mortals can touch? Once they step into it, it’ll definitely be a great calamity,” said Yun Xi.
“What should we do?” The big red bird was extremely reluctant. They were clearly not far from there, yet it was difficult for them to obtain it.
Shi Hao wandered around this place and wouldn’t back off just like that. He saw all types of magical artifact fragments, all of them left behind by the Medicine Deity’s son when he died.
“There’s a formation diagram, but it’s in tatters, and only a corner is left.” Lin Kun understood this situation, but it was completely useless. Not even a complete formation diagram could break through this formation. Otherwise, why would the Medicine Deity’s son die here?
“Don’t act recklessly. Heavenly deities are high and mighty. Their methods are unimaginable. The formations they left behind are enough to kill gods and saints,” Yun Xi warned them.
In fact, after truly understanding the situation, Shi Hao and the others all felt a bit of a headache. Even if they reached out with their divine will, they would still be devoured by this formation.
The big red bird was the most unlucky. A strand of its spiritual force was severed by the mist, forcibly dissolving within.
They definitely couldn’t do it by force. It would be too dangerous.
“That bronze piece fell into the formation, yet it wasn’t destroyed. Just how sturdy is it?” Shi Hao’s expression changed because he discovered that after other magical artifacts fell in, they were all shattered.
“It’s good stuff after all because it’s not destroyed by the great formation.” The Nine-Headed Lion nodded.
“Wait, let me take a closer look. What exactly is this?” Huo Ling’er spoke, asking Shi Hao for the bronze piece in his pocket.
“What did you discover?” Flame Crow asked.
“It looks a bit familiar. I think I’ve seen it before in some ancient texts. It seems to be a type of precious box,” Huo Ling’er said.
“That’s right. It’s exactly as you say.” Yun Xi was shocked. She took it and carefully looked at it. Then, she nodded seriously and said, “I’ve overlooked it. This is indeed an archaic precious box.”
The two of them had extraordinary backgrounds and knew a lot about ancient matters, especially Yun Xi, who came from the Archaic Divine Mountain, so they naturally knew more.
Archaic precious box was what later generations called it. The great figures of the archaic era used it to store precious treasures. Under normal circumstances, what they hid were all precious treasures.
In fact, its true name was World Treasure Box.
The precious box was extremely special. Unless it was the owner himself, other people couldn’t destroy or open it.
The big red bird’s face immediately fell. Even the precious box was split in half, so the things inside must have been gone. This was just too much of a blow.
“Wrong. The things inside the precious box might not have been destroyed, so they should still be there. It’s an extraordinary thing. Otherwise, how could it be used by experts from the archaic era to store treasures?” Yun Xi said.
Huo Ling’er also mentioned an anecdote. Someone had once obtained the World Treasure Box. After accidentally opening it, a divine treasury fell out.
This rumor immediately made everyone burn with eagerness.
“Since we know that it is an ancient precious box, we might be able to get the other half out.” Yun Xi said with a smile.
Shi Hao seemed to have thought of something. He held the bronze piece in his hands, silently sensing it and activating divine force. It immediately released brilliant light, and over a hundred symbols rose.
“Hey, it’s lit up! It’s so resplendent!” Several people cried out in alarm.
The bronze piece in Shi Hao’s hands lit up, and the other half in the formation did the same. The bronze rust fell off, and over a hundred symbols shone brilliantly as if they were being summoned. There was a reaction between them.
The situation startled the others, and all of them looked over.
“It’s moving!” The bronze piece in the formation was actually slowly moving and heading in this direction.
Boom!
Suddenly, thick lightning radiance hacked down from within the great formation, striking that bronze piece. If it was an ordinary magical artifact, it would have definitely been blasted to pieces, but this one wasn’t destroyed.
Outside the formation, Shi Hao trembled. The palm that held the bronze piece was contorting, and he was about to let go.
The bronze piece in his hands and the piece in the formation were summoning each other. He almost couldn’t hold onto it.
“This thing really is strange and mysterious. Not even the killing light from the heavenly deity formation could destroy it, and it was almost impossible for Shi Hao to hold on.” The big red bird sighed in admiration.
The others were all envious and moved in his direction.
“Come out!” Shi Hao shouted. With a rumbling sound, the radiance in his hands flourished as if he were holding a small sun. That bronze piece was surrounded by over a hundred symbols and was incomparably resplendent.
The bronze piece in the formation finally flew toward Shi Hao
Rumble!
It was as if heaven and earth were turned upside down. The fluctuations within the third formation were terrifying. The void distorted as if it was going to explode. The others who had been envious were horrified. They all stopped and turned pale.
All types of divine light rushed out, wreaking havoc within the formation. They struck down on that bronze piece. However, there was no way of shattering it.
Dang!
The final vibrating sound rang out. The two pieces of bronze collided and were seamlessly pieced together. After releasing an expanse of dazzling light, it quickly dimmed, becoming a fist sized bronze piece that was squarish.
“It doesn’t look like a box, but rather a solid one,” said the Nine-Headed Lion.
“After activating it, a small world will be constructed to store rare treasures,” said Yun Xi.
“What?” The big red bird drooled. The precious box contained a small world, so it was naturally a rare divine object. No wonder archaic experts used such a thing to store treasures.
“My friends, it seems like you obtained some kind of treasure. Can you let us take a look?” The people in the back had personally seen the precious box shine. After this place calmed down, some people became envious and greedy.
“Let’s go. We should leave this place first,” Shi Hao said. He didn’t mind fighting a fierce battle with these people and defeating them all, but right now, he wasn’t in the mood. He wanted to open the precious box.
An expanse of golden light surged. He operated the Kun Peng technique. Symbols danced about, surrounding everyone. They turned into golden lightning and quickly left this place.
After leaving the great formation and arriving outside the valley, they immediately began to study this precious box.
“It would be extremely difficult for others to open it, unless by accident,” Huo Ling’er said with a sigh.
They did not encounter any “accidents”. The World Treasure Box was passed around in everyone’s hands, but none of them could open it. Lin Kun’s eyes were burning with desire, and he also went to take action. He tried again and again, but in the end, he had no choice but to give up.
“Could the Emperor Butterfly be in this precious box? Are there other divine treasuries?” The big red bird couldn’t do anything.
Shi Hao clenched his teeth. With the precious box in hand, he secretly talked to the little pagoda, “Let’s make a deal.”
The little pagoda replied, “Well, it’s the same old rule. Last time, you gave me a sun stone. I was going to help you once, but now, I’m going to use it up.”
Shi Hao couldn’t believe his ears. How precious was the sun stone? It was a rare treasure in this world, yet the pagoda had to use it up to do a little favor. That was just too extravagant.
“No, this time, I want you to help me break open this valley and bring out that stalk of precious medicine. Also, open this precious box,” Shi Hao said.
Even though he knew that the little pagoda would most likely offer an astronomical price because there were over a hundred formations here, he never expected it to be such a ridiculous price.
“Unless you bring over a hundred true heavenly treasures, that’s impossible,” The little pagoda was extremely direct.
“You are so greedy!” Shi Hao was indignant. Of course, the conversation all happened in secret.
“Do you know what kind of formation this is? Even if a deity came, they would all die, especially with that spiritual root in the valley. Don’t even think about it. Someone planted it in this realm for the time being, and whoever touches it will be in trouble. It’ll definitely provoke the owner!” The little pagoda warned with an extremely serious tone.
Shi Hao was horrified. This place was so formidable!
“Be content with what one has. If you really obtain the Emperor Butterfly, then that would be an astonishing opportunity,” said the little pagoda. It had such a high evaluation of the golden butterfly!
Shi Hao gave this valley a final look, feeling a wave of shock. No wonder that gray-clothed woman warned him to leave the Medicine Capital, saying that this place would become a land of war.
“Alright, help me open this precious box first!” Shi Hao said.
