Xu Fan's consciousness instantly sank into the jade pendant.
Contained within the jade pendant was an astonishingly wondrous Sumeru space, where a vast desert lay spread out. In the midst of this desert was an empty palace, exuding an air of ruin everywhere you looked.
Upon entering this broken palace, Xu Fan discovered in the center of the grand hall an altar made of huge stones that still seemed to emit faint energy fluctuations. However, these fluctuations were exceedingly weak, almost imperceptible unless one paid close attention.
Xu Fan had already realized that this jade pendant was not ordinary but a spiritual treasure with an artifact spirit within.
In the Cultivation World, some exceptionally powerful magical treasures, after being nurtured naturally over many years, could develop consciousness. At that point, the magical treasure would no longer be ordinary; it would become a naturally grown spiritual treasure.
