Since even Primal Chaos realm giants would thirst for such an item, Xue Ying being an Inner Hall Elder of Great Void Heaven Temple could feel his heart racing, much less the other four cultivators.

‘It is worth 3,000 Origin World Rocks! 3,000 Origin World Rocks!’ Sky Sword Sect Master felt his eyes turning red. Even though he knew Xue Ying had saved him once before, he still felt an intense impulse to kill the other party and snatch the treasure since the value had turned him slightly mad. Nevertheless, firstly, he still has a bottom line that prevented him from acting against his savior; he could suppress the impulse. Secondly, even if he acted, he was not confident of succeeding–he understood his limits.

A treasure worth 3,000 Origin World Rocks had caused the hearts of the other four cultivators to tremble.

What did this mean?

A protective treasure like the Black Gourd was worth 500 Origin World Rocks at most! A treasure worth 3,000 Origin World Rocks could be exchanged for even better protective treasures than the Black Gourd. No matter what, one could improve his power or survival capabilities significantly. To Sky Sword Sect Master and the others, if they could afford to buy a treasure stronger than the Black Gourd, they would be practically unparalleled underneath the Primal Chaos realm.

Even if they were extravagant to purchase some puppet lifeform, 3,000 Origin World Rocks could allow them to buy a puppet lifeform which had the combat strength at the fifth level Star Pagoda. Furthermore, the puppet lifeform had an overwhelming advantage as compared to cultivators–it had a practically undying body and would remain eternally loyal. It would not complain about working hard, and the cultivator could also select different kinds of puppet lifeforms. Some specialized in escaping, some were good at attacking…

The muscular male, black-fogged figure and gray-gowned girl were all staring at Xue Ying as if he were prey.

‘Hmph hmph hmph… he is fortunate to get such a marvelous treasure on the first level.’ The eyes of the muscular male dilated. They were flashing with a faint cold light, ‘I am instead at a fork road. I did not care about the first level since the more valuable treasures would only appear at the second level. Who would have thought that I would miss out on such a treasure? Now, I just have to snatch it from his hands.’

The gray-gowned girl was not in a rush to act as she watched.

Instead, that black-fogged figure had abruptly rushed down along the void stairs. Because he had broken through the void barriers, that black-fogged figure could reach the ground level and move up the void stairs where Xue Ying was in a few blinks of an eye.

“He is about to act.”

The atmosphere across the entire first level of the treasure cove had become heavier. Sky Sword Sect Master, the muscular male and the gray-gowned girl were watching this scene silently. This had happened according to their expectations. The treasure within the Treasure Cove God Palace wasn’t that easy for one to get his hands on. Under normal circumstances, most could not enter the third floor, and only Primal Chaos realm giants could enter.

For one to acquire a treasure worth 3,000 Origin World Rocks just at the first two level of the treasure cove was something miraculous.

Even if he took this Golden Whisker Sky Thunder Wood and leave, it was worth coming to the Monarch Nine CLoud treasure cove already.

…

As Xue Ying kept the Golden Whisker Sky Thunder Wood, he felt the gazes coming from other cultivators. It was only the gaze coming from Sky Sword Sect Master that wasn’t filled with great enmity, though the other party could hardly conceal the envy and jealousy in his eyes.

‘Hmph, this time coming to the Treasure Cove God Pagoda, I aim to acquire treasures worth more than 10,000 Origin World Rocks so that I can buy two sets of Scarlet Cloud Pomegranate Core.’ Xue Ying thought, ‘Previously, I might not be confident. But now that I have gotten such a precious ‘Golden Whisker Sky Thunder Wood’ just moments after entering, I might just be able to earn more than 10,000 Origin World Rocks with my strength and some good luck after reaching the second floor.’

‘Thinking of snatching my treasure away?’

Xue Ying looked at the bottom part of the void stair he was on as a black-fogged figure came rushing up along it.

“Hand over the Golden Whisker Sky Thunder Wood, and I might spare your life!” The black-fogged figure rushed over. His high pitch voice reverberated across the entire first level space. His voice was so ear-screeching that it caused space to fluctuate.

“This is my void stairs. I think you have gone up the wrong one. “Xue Ying said, “You might survive if you retreat now. Otherwise, if you foolishly act against me, you will only die!”

The black-fogged figure suddenly stopped.

His body turned illusory as many other bodies began dividing out from his main one.

Xue Ying could only see as 19 bodies were formed from the black-fogged figure within an instant. All their auras were the same as if they were the true body.

“Undying City Master?” Sky Sword Sect Master, the muscular male and the gray-gowned girl were all shocked as they watched this.

“It’s him? Undying City Master?” Xue Ying was able to guess the origin of the other party too.

In the entire Nine Cloud Great Land, few Unity realm experts had attained the fifth level Star Pagoda combat strength. And ‘Undying City Master’ was one of them. He was an ancient cultivator, and his talent was called ‘Crowd Lives’, which gave him the ability to replicate his true body! This Undying City Master could actually replicate 18 other true bodies of his, and adding up his original one, there were 19 bodies in total.
