Best novel online free at LatestNovel.Net or NovelTeam.Net

Inside the bottle was a true mountain soul! A soul was a miraculous aspect of existence, often containing memories, emotions, and instincts of an individual, but mostly this related to living and breathing individuals. A mountain, sword, and other objects can develop a soul, but it wasn't truly a 'soul' but moreso a spirit like Pinaka.

It wasn't artificial, however. These spirits could only be born naturally by chance and oftentimes they could even cultivate and grow as independent individuals. Unfortunately, the chances of that being possible was abysmal.

This true mountain soul wasn't conscious, but it was a spirit of a literal mountain. Yan Zaizen recalled the laws of this location and couldn't help but grow excited.

A mountain spirit could be used as material to produce an absolutely heaven-toppling treasure or as a source of comprehension into the heavenly law of mountain. The Xiao's City Lord in Xiantu Realm had refined an actual mountain as his treasure, attempting to tap into a trace of potential of that mountain.

However, that spirit was artificial using the Spirit Form Path as its foundation and not born from the heavens.

As for the pill in the second bottle, Yan Zaizen briefly glanced at it but swiftly ignored it. A mountain soul, an authentic one, was as rare as a phoenix feather! The greed in his heart was rather strong, but he didn't immediately reach out to grab the soul.

The fluctuations on this mountain soul was odd yet mighty. The two bottles weren't simple either. After experiencing his earlier minor setback, his heart grew cautious towards the unknown.

Witnessing the flash of greed in Yan Zaizen's eyes, the three women had their own individual thoughts and emotional upheavals, but as he didn't reach for it, their emotions became even more turbulent. They each had their own reasons, but they only remained quiet.

For quite sometime, the four simply stood there in silence. Yan Zaizen's eyes bore a hole into the two items, Eshe remained with a calm expression and sweet smile, Iceborn and her fiery companion grew anxious.

This lasted for quite some time before Iceborn spoke, her delicately soft lips and pleasant voice drew everyone's attention, ”Daoist Ascension, these two inheritance treasures weren't the only treasures we obtained. There was another, however…” Her eyes displayed a faint trace of reluctance and her expression left him feeling pity for the beauty. If anyone saw her expression, they would think Yan Zaizen was viciously eyeing her maiden's chastity.

When Eshe witnessed her actions, she grew inwardly nervous, but her eyes flashed mysteriously.

Yan Zaizen felt like he was playing a game of 'catch the cues' and it felt nauseating. He wasn't sure of what to do at this moment. His instincts told him that danger and fortune of immensity was nearby and these three women would lead him to it.

No, to be accurate, one of them will. The other two was danger of the highest. Yan Zaizen couldn't deduce which, but this feeling caused him to urge his mental prowess to its fullest.

”Another item?” He calmly inquired, his gaze moving away from Eshe and on Iceborn, a hint of lust, interest, and desire within.

”Mhm. May I move to show you?” Iceborn cautiously asked.

Yan Zaizen didn't respond verbally but with his actions. The chains that restrained her movements were loosened. It was like her shackles had been unlocked and her body experienced a long-awaited freedom. However, she could feel a spatial force lingering invisibly around, warning her.

With a soft sigh, Iceborn touched her forehead. A soft light flickered within and a hexagon emblem appeared. The hexagon object was flat and had six clearly divided portions. Two of these six portions were brightly lit in a red and green glow.

The hexagon emblem seemed mundane at first glance, but Yan Zaizen felt an odd sensation from it. There was no aura emitting from the glows. This was what caused the oddity in his mind. In all things, of all things, there existed an inherent aura. Regardless of what it was or who it was, they all had an aura. However, the emblem's materials nor the light that was lit had an aura.

This was where sensation stemmed from.

Yan Zaizen used his spatial force to wrap around the hexagonal object, but his eyes widened soon after. ”Does this thing even exist?” He couldn't help but think as his spatial force exuded no force on the object as if it didn't exist. If it wasn't for his control over the surrounding space, he would've thought this entire event was an illusion.

Iceborn warily smiled. ”Daoist Ascension, this object has fused with my existence and thus it is only a projection of my mind. It does not exist in this realm outside of visual representation, that is my limit.” Explaining this to Yan Zaizen, she couldn't help but feel a little bitter, but also more secure.

She continued, ”This item contains two parts of a full legacy. I obtained one of the parts here and the other elsewhere. If I can obtain all six parts, it will become a key to open a domain. Unfortunately…” Iceborn turned to Eshe, her eyes flickering with murderous intentions.
