Chapter 296: 296 Extreme Sun Nail
Spiritual Treasure?
Gu Yang understood. Cao Kunpeng had exerted so much effort naturally because he was scheming something significant.
Either he wanted to further improve his cultivation level, or he was after a powerful Magic Treasure.
A piece of Spiritual Treasure is enough to tempt figures like Cao Kunpeng.
He casually said, “I’m not interested in Spiritual Treasures.”
This was the truth. He had two ancient spiritual treasures in his possession, the Nine God Cauldrons. However, they were useless. He couldn’t use them to ward off enemies at all.
Not to mention Spiritual Treasures, he had a bunch of Magic Treasures, which he hadn’t had the time to refine. They were of no use to him for the time being.
Although Spiritual Treasures were attractive, they were not of significant use to him now, and wouldn’t worth his risking to fight for it.
Cao Yiyi thought that he would be surprised and interested after she revealed this blockbuster news. However, he didn’t seem to be interested at all.
He is not interested in Spiritual Treasures?
Her smile stiffened.
Aren’t men supposed to be most interested in powerful techniques, elixirs, and powerful divine weapons?
It’s a Spiritual Treasure!
For that Spiritual Treasure, Cao Kunpeng painstakingly got close to her mother, tried to deceive his intentions but when he failed, he arranged to have her killed, to get the Void Fairy Vine.
Later, he discovered that he could not refine the Void Fairy Vine, so he targeted her instead.
To this end, he plotted for more than a decade, managed to get that Spirit Pool and the Black Pearl, and spent so much effort.
Just so she could break through to the realm of Divine Power as soon as possible and control the Void Fairy Vine.
For that Spiritual Treasure, Cao Kunpeng had devoted himself utterly; he basically put half of his family wealth on stake.
Gu Yang just casually said that he was not interested, and he even disdained the Spiritual Treasure.
His reaction stunned her.
Cao Yiyi thought he didn’t understand the value of Spiritual Treasures, so she hastily added, “That’s an ancient Spiritual Treasure passed down from prehistoric times, named the Extreme Sun Nail. As the apex of Yang and solidity, it specifically banishes all sorts of Yin and demonic evils…”
Extreme Sun Nail?
Upon hearing her description, Gu Yang suddenly realised.
This thing is clearly designed to deal with the Red Sun.
It looks like not only the Wu Family, but even the Cao family, have begun to have second thoughts about the Red Sun, and wanted to break away from its control.
That was a good thing.
If the Cao family was to revolt, it would greatly weaken the power of the Red Sun.
The Red Sun currently controlled three forces: the Cao family, the Gao family, and the Red Venerate Sect.
The Red Venerate Sect was undoubtedly the most loyal, but Gu Yang had already killed their leader, the Red Sun. In the short term, they should find it hard to produce another Unleaking Realm cultivator.
If the Cao family had a shift in allegiance, what about the Gao family?
Gu Yang remembered Gao Fan, who had given up his cultivation and disguised himself. This man most likely was also trying to break away from the Red Sun’s control.
To completely eliminate the Red Sun wouldn’t be easy.
The mysterious old man he had met in the Yellow Springs Cave had mentioned that it had integrated with the Red Sun. To kill it, he would have to destroy the entire Red Sun world.
That was a difficult proposition.
To obliterate an entire world, what kind of power would someone need?
However, if he could sever all of its tendrils reaching into this world, it wouldn’t pose a threat to him any longer.
These tendrils included the Cao family, the Gao family, and the Red Venerate Sect, among others.
While pondering, Gu Yang started to develop some interest in the Extreme Sun Nail.
If this Spiritual Treasure was as Cao Yiyi described it, if it was truly effective against the demonic being. It could be used not only against the Red Sun but also against the strange beings of the Yellow Springs Cave.
He asked, “Do you know where this Spiritual Treasure is?”
Cao Yiyi paused, her gaze slightly shifty, “Um… can’t we just inquire about it?”
Gu Yang had purposely asked. Neither Cao Kunpeng nor Cao Yiyi had been to the Wanxiang Cave; how could they know where the Extreme Sun Nail is?
“You can leave now.”
