He knew that face. He couldn’t be more familiar with it.

“This… This is my body…” Yun Shu murmured to himself.

The longer he stared at that body, the more terrified he was.

The dead man looked so much like Yun Shu.

Yun Shu stared at that face, his head buzzing. Suddenly, he noticed something: between the man’s eyebrows, there was a small, red mole. Yun Shu didn’t have it.

That guy wasn’t Yun Shu. However, he still felt very insecure. After all, a corpse looking so much like him was found in a world that had been existing in his dreams for ten years. So by no means should this be a coincidence.

At this time, the dead body suddenly opened his eyes!

The dead body’s eyes stared into Yun Shu’s, and somehow, he couldn’t look away from it!

A beam of golden light shot out from the dead body’s eyes and went into Yun Shu’s. He burst out a bitter cry and rolled back and forth on the stairs. However, after a while, Yun Shu realized that, in fact, nothing had happened. His eyes felt a bit sore, but that was it.

Feeling confused, Yun Shu slowly sat up, but to his surprise, he saw that the body in front of him turn into a skeleton, leaving an old pouch beside it.

Yun Shu felt the whole ordeal surreal and suspicious. With great hesitation, he reached his hand out. At the same time, he imagined that the man must have been a great and outstanding master before his death, so there should be something unusual about the pouch left behind by him.

He carefully reached his hand into the pouch, and for the umpteenth time, Yun Shu was shocked again.

Despite its appearance, it was not an old, common pouch at all! Instead, it was a cosmic bag that a cultivator could use to store lots of precious items!

The cosmic bag had an amazing capacity. Yun Shu had never seen anything so extraordinary before. Under his rough estimate, it had space no smaller than that of the warehouse of the sect where all the precious items were kept.

Yun Shu suddenly felt excited, betting that there must be lots of treasures and resources in the bag. However, what he found inside was quite disappointing.

He only found few things in it:

He only found a few things in it: an old book, two bronze pieces with rust, a rough, oval stone, a tablet that could be attached to a belt, and three ancient collars.

First was that tablet; on its front, it said: I’m born with wealth. On the other side, there was a dragon flying above the highest of heavens. Oddly enough, its fifth dragon claw was not gripping a dragon ball, but rather, a big gold ingot called yuanbao.

“What a money-grubber…” Yun Shu sighed. Then he picked up the three collars.

The collars were carved with characters: Dragon Shackle. Yun Shu instantly realized what they were.

He turned to look at the three collars again. This time he checked the collars really carefully.

According to the legends, a dragon shackle was priceless as it could capture the most powerful of the beasts! His heart started beating fast with anticipation.

Many cultivators would have one or more pets since a good one could greatly help its master during a fight. However, finding such a good companion was never an easy thing; it was challenging to capture a powerful pet and make it tame. A majority of cultivators were even killed because of this.

But a dragon shackle changed the whole scenario.

It was said that a dragon shackle could even make a legendary beast docile as soon as it was put on its neck. Hence, they were very scarce!

Yun Shu knew that the shackles would be of great help to him in the future, filling him with expectations. After putting them aside, he picked up the bronze pieces and instantly felt the power residing inside.

Maybe Yun Shu would figure it out in the future, so he put the bronze pieces back into the bag and turned to check out the old book.

“The Book of Three Thousand Fiends contains the most ancient fiend power! It reverses heaven and earth, regulates Yin and Yang, and molds the universe!”
