Chapter 404

Leylin stood in the corner with Neelam's group, not caring about what was going on. He looked like he was thinking and wondering by himself.

No one dared to disturb him.

Everyone looked at him from a distance. Even if he seemed to be in a trance, no one dared to take this opportunity to ambush him.

They were all shocked by his performance so far. Although some people held some dark desire and even thought that he must have snatched some treasures coming here so fast and foremost everyone tactfully decided to ignore it.

Leylin wasn't actively participating against them and there were plenty of secret treasures for the top warriors, there was basically no one group that was willing to go against him because of the risk involved. And as far as joining hands is concerned, all of them were each other's competitors and even enemies hence, very few would be willing to join hands together.

It's a simple matter of fact, that fighting against someone like Leylin with a numerical advantage would be very advantageous but in turn of such an event, a lot of warriors needs to be sacrificed.

No one is willing to be the first guy followed by many other killed in a selfless confrontation just so that their deaths would benefit their own enemies.

Because of such a problem, a chance of grouping between the warriors was highly unlikely.

Many people who had plans against him stopped, moving away from his general location. They continued to fight yet also looked at Leylin from afar with cautious faces, as they were afraid that even a tiny move could arouse the fierceness inside him.

Anyone who was his target ended up with a miserable fate. This was proved by the deaths of multiple warriors.

No one dared to make any move.

Leylin raised his head to look at the floating corpses. To everyone else it looked like he was choosing one ancient corpse for himself but he was just staying in that posture without any movement.

Suddenly his eyes flashed up, he immediately closed his eyes and perceived the new information.

[Beep! The secret plane scan complete! The eye of formation found!]

'Finally.' Leylin opened his eyes with a triumphant smile on his face, previously he assigned the A. I. Chip to scan through the whole formation and localized the eye of the formation, or the core. Leylin has some knowledge about formation and he can guess that in such a deliberate formation, the most useful treasure is usually either the core itself, or somewhere near the core.

"You guys stay here, I need to check something real quick." Leylin said to Neelam and others in an authoritative voice.

After informing them he immediately flew down to the bottom of the bridge and disappeared, not even waiting for the other two to utter a word.

At this time, everyone was fighting for the secret treasures on the ancient corpses. It was strenuous for everyone coming here with the target of finding secret treasures. However, right at the time of harvesting, Leylin suddenly went back down.

Not only did he not understand, all the warriors who realized this unusual thing also showed suspicious faces.

Seeing that Leylin had gone, the warriors here let out a sigh of relief as they thought that they could relax a little bit.

In their eyes, Leylin's threat was greater than anyone else's.

Having such a dangerous competitor as him absent obviously made them happy, and they didn't care why he went back down.

...

At the small silver lake, four kinds of disasters were covering the whole area. Leylin had his entire body shrouded with starlight while his face was solemn. He could feel the power of the Star Shield. He took a deep breath and walked over the silver lake.

Previously back in Endless Sea Leylin finally unlocked the true potential of his Star Marital Spirit and along the way he had perceived the various skills as well as the profound intent of Star Martial Spirit.

So far he has been able to master various skills involving the use of this Martial spirit and Star Shield is one of them.

'All of my Martial spirit has updated after I ascended to Sky Realm. The Petrification Martial spirit seems to have entered into another realm of perfection, slowly but surely getting stronger with my increase in realm. The Spirit Martial Spirit has finally been unlocked and it's potential is limitless and powers extremely versatile and potent. Not to mention my Immortal Martial Spirit.. "

Thinking of the Immortal Martial spirit, Leylin clenched his fist. His white skinned knuckles suddenly started to shine with a crimson glow.

There were drops of blood like rubies, crystal clear and very beautiful. The skin and flesh of his hands didn't seem to be able to cover the dazzling light radiating from these drops of blood. There are the infamous Immortal blood!

The few drops of blood in his palm had violent power fluctuations; they were totally different from the blood in his body. The power of these blood drops even contained his mental fluctuations, as if his soul was lodged in these drops of blood, giving him a feeling that these blood drops had an incredible vitality.

Leylin has yet to study much in regards to these immortal blood, but it's not as if he hasn't made any progress. From the Ice Cold Flame Leylin got to know that his Immortal Blood is also called God Blood and it has many miraculous abilities that are unfathomable.

God Blood is said to have the ability to replenish, recover and reinforce the powers of a secret treasure. It can even strengthen the grade of some selected treasures forged with heavenly items.

God blood can also be used to release unbelievable amounts of strength retracing the glory of the God Kings, although obviously the power is no where near such an existence it's still very potent and overwhelming against similarly ranked warriors.

God blood can be used to even strengthen and aid the evolution of a demon beast, it's regarded as a super tonic to them. Not to mention, there are also various uncanny abilities including divination!

Usually only Spirit Realm Warriors are capable of forming Immortal Blood, in the whole Alaister Family only Abaddon Alaister has the Immortal Blood. In the past he was able to burn his immortal blood to divinate a prophecy regarding Leylin and even foretold his future location.

'I think at a higher realms the immortal blood is even able to identify the situation and condition of the possessor of the same bloodline. Even since I have formed the Immortal blood I always had a gut feeling that Alaister Abaddon isn't as helpless and miserable in the Fourth Demon Area as it may seem. It can even be part of a bigger plot ...' Leylin pondered as he continued forward.

Frost, lightning, flames, and storms, the four kinds of disaster raged in the ancient city and enclosed everything.

Looking ahead, he realized that under the influence of these four kinds of disaster, the ancient city's walls had collapsed.

Many one-hundred-meter-high stone fortresses had fallen, turning into piles of stones.

Hundreds of thousands of different beasts gathered outside the silver lake. All of them opened their mouths which looked like basins of blood, shooting icy lights from their eyes, looking at the weaving points of light in the sky.

As soon as Leylin appeared, those beasts immediately wanted to jump over and rip him off.

"A.I.Chip navigate the direction to formation eye."

"Beep! Sending coordinates... ]

Soon after out of the Blood Vein Ring, a snowflake was released out of Leylin's body. The cold air that it released could freeze the whole ancient city.

With Leylin as the center, an extremely cold air spread out. When it released the chill, even the beasts had to be scared. When the chill diffused, those gathering beasts immediately moved backward.

Leylin didn't say any word and urged his power to move towards his destination.

The cold air spread out wherever he passed by. Although the beasts wanted to attack him, they couldn't bear the invasion of the icy power and thus had to retreat immediately.

Moving towards the direction that the A. I. Chip indicated, he went all the way back to the collapsed ancient city. Inside an old temple in the southwest of the city, he saw the dead body of a huge beast.

That beast had only one eye. Inside the eyes, lights interweaved, and the four kinds of disasters were condensing and accumulating, vaguely forming a mysterious Heavenly Gate that led to another mysterious place.

Standing under the enormous beast, Leylin quietly observed the beast's massive pupil.

After sensing for a while, he realized that the energy fluctuations there were intimidating.

Without using the external force, it would be very strenuous to enter that Heaven Gate.

"It's good that I have you." Leylin smiled and took out the Sky-breaking Shuttle, pouring his divine sense into it to connect with the soul inside. "Can I enter that Heaven Gate?"

The Sky-breaking Shuttle suddenly emitted an intense light. The edge of the Sky-breaking Shuttle faintly pointed to the Heaven Gate, shooting out a ray of fine silver light, shining on the Heaven Gate.

A few moments later, a response was sent to him. "You can go inside, but I need fifth of your Profound Qi to break the barrier."

Leylin slightly nodded and poured the Profound Qi from his body into the Sky-breaking Shuttle.

Under the massive Profound Qi infusion, the Sky-breaking Shuttle suddenly discharged bright silver light hitting that Heaven Gate.

Bang.

A shocking quiver came from the Heaven Gate as a bunch of bright silver lights emerged from there.

Leylin didn't think too much, immediately followed along that bright silver light to directly penetrate the Heaven Gate and disappeared instantly.

In a vast expanse of space, there was only a decayed mummy.

This mummy wore a blue gown, and it was sitting cross-legged. His left hand held a very thick, old book and seemed like it was carefully reading the contents of the book.

It should be a God Realm warrior who had condensed his great power to build this strange space.

This space here should also be built by a God Realm warrior. This one was not the same type of Heaven Gate that had been created over so many years like the Chasm battlefield. Instead, it had been created by a God Realm warrior out of sheer boredom.

This Heaven Gate didn't seem to be too mysterious nor dangerous. The territory area was also limited.

Standing in this strange space, Leylin looked around and saw only misty white fog all over the place. He couldn't see farther anyway.

"A.I.Chip scan the area."

[Beep! Task established! Scanning....]

Leylin didn't rush to check that mummy yet. Instead, he walked around but got nothing.

In this spacious area, there was nothing else except this mummy.

All the mysteries were perhaps in that ancient corpse. Leylin slowly walked to the mummy while the rest of his Profound Qi was quietly gathering.

[Beep! Scan complete! No anomaly found!]

Leylin came close to that corpse, he didn't encounter any dangers nor felt any barriers.

When he was close to the corpse, he could see four words on the old book that the ancient corpse was holding in his hand – 'Blacksmith's Secrets of Success.'

Leylin's heart slightly bounced while his eyes were brightening, he couldn't help but smile involuntarily.

"Although I guessed there should be something related to blacksmiths but this... " Leylin looked around the whole space previously and found there were many furnaces, forging materials, which were no longer useful, and also some secret treasures that had been refined.

Apparently, there existed many powerful blacksmiths in this strange space.

In the ancient time, blacksmiths and alchemists were both crucial parts of the warrior's world.

Whether it was in ancient times or modern times, blacksmiths and alchemists both enjoyed a distinguished position. Every blacksmith or alchemist was an extraordinary warrior. Secret treasures refined by blacksmiths and pellets refined by alchemists were the important factors in enhancing warriors' strength. If a warrior held a powerful weapon as well as all kinds of pellets, then whether in practice or battle, he would surely have the upper hand over one who didn't possess these items.

A blacksmith with a profound realm could create Sacred level secret treasures. Such a blacksmith would have the respect from all other warriors.

The reason that the Spirit Treasure Sect could dominate the Divine Great Land for so many years was thanks to having many blacksmiths and alchemists. If it didn't have a big number of blacksmiths and alchemists with high levels like that, perhaps it might not be able to become one of the seven ancient factions of the Divine Great Land.

In short, blacksmiths in this world were absolutely precious, and they received respect from all warriors. The more powerful a blacksmith was, the better privilege he could have.

Although this blacksmith had been weathered for so many years, he still maintained his reading posture. It was hard to guess at which level this blacksmith was, but if he could build the Heaven Gate, he was at least a God Realm warrior. A blacksmith would consider being a powerful blacksmith as their important pursuit. Levels were only a necessary condition to fulfill in their pursuit.

In general, a blacksmith with God Realm cultivation base might also be a Sacred level blacksmith and could refine Sacred level secret treasures.

In the entire Divine Great Land, God-level blacksmiths seemed to have disappeared a long time ago; the most powerful blacksmith now was only at the Sacred level, who could refine sacred level secret treasures.

Even the Spirit Treasure Sect only had two Sacred level blacksmiths, who were the most powerful protectors for the Spirit Treasure Sect's domination in the Divine Great Land.

Leylin stared at the old book 'Blacksmith's Secrets of Success' in the mummy's hands. His usually calm heart pounded slightly with anticipation for finding new research materials as he couldn't stop the desire to possess that book.

He didn't know if it were dangerous.

Leylin stretched his hands out to catch the 'Blacksmith's Secrets of Success.' His skin turned reddish while many spots of crimson pearls were twinkling on the back of his hand on his knuckles.

He was very cautious.

When one of his fingers touched that 'Blacksmith's Secrets of Success,' a brutal surging spirit suddenly burst out from the old book.

Instantly, Leylin's Sea of Consciousness slightly swayed. His spirit seemed to be hindered by a mysterious soul barrier.

He knew that the terrifying spiritual surging was definitely from the old book. Maybe it came from its pages.

Every page might also have a strong spiritual fluctuation. As long as one touched it, they would suffer from the impact of that energy.

Leylin had a deep understanding of various types of Upanishads, and his perception of souls was much more profound than that of a typical warrior.

Leylin believed that if other Sky Realm warriors were in his situation it would be difficult to feel safe under the impact of those fluctuations.

Leylin didn't think much, he pointed the Storage Ring towards the old book and it disappeared into the ring.

Boom.

A loud noise suddenly came up from that ancient corpse. It then turned into a strange plume of smoke and disappeared into thin air in this strange space.

The old book and this weathered ancient corpse seemed to have a close connection. Since the book disappeared from the corpse's hand, it seemed not to feel the need to exist anymore, and then disappeared just like that.

Not only that, when the ancient corpse turned into ashes, this space also began to crack, as some splits appeared.

A bunch of silver lights flashed up, and Leylin quickly drilled into it. That bunch of light brought Leylin flying outside, following the channel that the Sky-breaking Shuttle had broken through earlier.

In the cold space, Leylin turned into a column of starlight and returned to the ancient city from that strange space.

"What an unexpected gain...And this is just one of the two treasures hotspot this time in Dark Field Noxious Mist, I can't wait to dig into this book but there is still that another treasure waiting for me. Let's see how special that rumoured God Soul is."
