The leather scroll was bound shut with a thread made of golden dao runes, and it was impossible to open.

However, it emitted a splendorous azure divine light and dao sounds drifted out from it. It resembled sages chanting the dao and was so loud that even the deaf could hear it.

It was truly quite miraculous!

Lin Xun’s spirit force was quite powerful, and he had long stepped into the spirit flower convergence stage. Despite that, he was still unable to peek within the scroll to see its mysteries.

Lin Xun muttered to himself, “Does this leather scroll contain mysteries that are too paramount and far exceed my current comprehension level?”

He had noticed that the key to opening the scroll lay in the strand of runes that resembled a golden thread.

After analyzing it carefully, he was quite surprised. This was because the golden strand of runes gave off the shocking scent of a Saint.

“Azure divine light, echoing dao sound, bound by a golden rune strand…this leather scroll must hide a mystery that is extremely profound!”

After examining it for a long time, Lin Xun finally stored it away carefully in the Nameless Pagoda. Then, he looked at the King-level forbidden array set.

This array had a hundred and eight flag poles made of white jade and three formation discs. It was called the Four Divisions King Array and was personally created by the ancestor of the Blue Luan Clan.

Once it was used, it could link with the power of heaven and earth and use the power of the four cardinal directions to create a restriction. It could even trap and kill king-level experts!

From this it was easy to tell that this was a giant killing machine with power beyond imagination.

However, only true rune founders and king level experts could exert the full power of this mysterious array.

Earlier, when Qing Lian’er and the others arranged this array, even though they worked together to operate it, they were only able to use about thirty percent of its destructive power!

After analyzing the secrets of the King-level forbidden array, Lin Xun felt a bit scared. He was certain that if a rune founder had been the one to activate it earlier, then he would have been slaughtered within moments.

“It’s too bad though. This array not only consumes a lot of energy continuously, but it also requires over ten thousand pieces of high grade aeth essence. The consumption is way too high…” Lin Xun sighed inwardly.

He was quite aware that this kind of King-level forbidden array needed to be placed onto a divine and wondrous essence vein in order to work properly. Otherwise, there was no way for someone to just take it out and use it on the go.

After all, using over ten thousand pieces of high grade aeth essences in one instance was a bit too much. This was true not only for regular cultivators, but also experts who were from ancient orthodoxies.

In fact, this many aeth essences could actually be used to buy a king-level weapon instead!

“However, if it can trap and kill an old freak in the king level, then the price may be worth it…” Lin Xun silently made a decision to make this a trump card of his and not reveal it unless it was completely necessary.

What made him rejoice was that he had obtained thirty thousand pieces of high grade aeth essence from the jade storage bracelet that Qing Lian’er left behind.

It was evident that she had known the consumption that the formation required was quite high, so she had prepared in advance.

Unfortunately, she was not at the king stage nor was she a rune founder. Even if she prepared as much as could, it was impossible for her to reveal the true might of this killing array.

Buzz!

The previously quiet Ancient Dao Lantern Tree suddenly acted as if it was awakened. It emitted an undulation that no one could understand.

Within moments, a bright and resplendent purple divine splendor spread out from the bronze trunk, astonishing everyone with the glow.

Lin Xun wasn’t the only one affected. The other experts who were within the vicinity were all alarmed. Everyone wondered if another blessing was about to descend.

……

Outside Cangwu Mountain, many cultivators were waiting in worry. The Ancient Dao Lantern Tree had stayed silent for too long. Almost twelve hours had passed yet there was still no sign of the tree stirring.

An expert frowned. “Did something bad happen?”

At that moment came a rumble, and everyone could see a divine purple luster had appeared halfway up Cangwu Mountain. The light shot up to the heavens and broke apart the clouds in the sky.

Before long, the heavens, earth, mountains, rivers, and all living things had been dyed with a divine purple light that was brilliant and elegant.

“This…”

Many experts were awed by this scene and opened their eyes wide. Following that, chaos broke out.

“A big blessing must be descending!”

Even Granny Jin He felt her heart pounding with excitement. They had already waited for a long time, but the divine scene in front of them all made them realize that an unprecedented blessing was coming down, unlike any that had descended before!

……

“A great blessing is truly about to be born…” Underneath the Ancient Dao Lantern Tree were many experts. To keep themselves safe, they had long gone below to retire and were no longer willing to fight.

However, once they witnessed this new phenomenon, many of them felt their hearts stir and a desire to compete began to come up again.

A few experts clenched their jaws and began to move up the Ancient Dao Lantern Tree. They were no longer satisfied with just watching and didn’t want to miss this once a lifetime opportunity.

There was a risk of dying, but as long as they were able to snatch some luck, then all of it would be worth it!

Halfway up the tree, they were stunned silly by something. The remaining flower buds that had not yet opened were all withering!

“What’s going on?”

Everyone was astonished and could not believe their own eyes.

As the flowers withered and peeled off of the branches, they resembled opportunities being lost. Once the shed petals hit the air, they dissolved into ashes and disappeared without a trace.

All of those bronze flower buds represented different blessings!

Unfortunately, now all of the remaining buds were withering and wilting. This was like seeing all of the blessings being destroyed before their own eyes. All of their hearts trembled, and they found this hard to accept.

How could things come to this?

“Look! The blessings that those bronze buds held are all going into the canopy of the tree!” someone howled.

This roused the shocked experts. The other cultivators on the tree also noticed the oddities going on. They soon realized that the flower buds were withering because the opportunities they held within were drifting elsewhere.

It was as if an unseen force was devouring and hoarding the power, sending it towards the canopy of the tree!

There was a phenomenon going on in the tree canopy area, and it looked as if a purple sun was glowing. The light was resplendent and illuminated the skies and clouds. It was extremely dazzling and wondrous.

In fact, even those at the bottom of the tree and surrounding Cangwu Mountain could clearly see this.

“Heavens, that is…”

A sound echoed from a different area, and all of the cultivators looked surprised. This was because they realized it was not a sun but instead a bronze bud that was in the process of blooming.

It was because the light that it was giving off was too bright and resplendent, which made it resemble a giant sun illuminating the heavens and the earth.

“The Number One Fortune. This has to be the Number One Fortune. It’s unprecedented and has rarely been seen, so it’s destined to be different from the others,” muttered an old freak as he trembled with excitement.

All of the other old experts reacted in the same way. They all saw that the Number One Fortune was too distinct, which made it very obvious that the previous Dao Lantern Festivals were nothing like this one.

In the past, nothing like this had ever happened before. In fact, the other bronze buds had their fortune sucked away and sent to a single flower bud in the top. It was too magical.

They resembled a bunch of advisors going to pay their respects to the king!

……

“It’s here!”

Yu Lingkong quickly got up as his eyes beamed out a ray of rainbow light. He flashed and disappeared quickly.

“I’m not sure what the Number One Fortune is. Is it an inheritance? Or remnant of a Saint? Or is it some kind of divine material?”

Ji Xingyao was also thinking hard at the side as she paced around. She soon floated up and headed towards the distance.

“The battle of the great age is imminent, so unprecedented blessings will appear. This time, whoever has the ability will snatch it within their hands…”

Luo Jia looked pensive. Her entire slender body sparkled and was as dazzling as a holy phoenix.

“Old Rogue, what did you say?”

Just as Lin Xun was about to head out, he suddenly sensed something in the Nameless Pagoda. The old ginseng had muttered, “Do you think whelps like you can touch this blessing? Don’t even think about it.”

The ginseng then leisurely said, “Do you want to learn more? Heh heh, then let me go first!”

It was simply a supreme-king-grade herb, but it was acting like an old gangster.

Bang!

Lin Xun didn’t tarry. He immediately activated the wonder-gold dao light to suppress the old ginseng, tormenting him until he screamed all sorts of profanities that dirtied the ear.

In the end, the old ginseng surrendered with an indignant expression, looking as if he wanted to die. “That’s the foundation of Cangwu Mountain and is the crystallization of Saint’s heart blood. I can promise that you so-called geniuses are not worthy of it. In fact, it’s more likely to be a calamity for you guys instead!”

Lin Xun’s heart chilled. This old rogue clearly knew something important.

“Be more clear!” Lin Xun insisted with an angry tone. He sent another strand of wonder-gold dao light to suppress the old herb after waiting for it to become more energized.

In order to deal with this old gangster, it was necessary to use force, otherwise it’d be impossible to get any cooperation out of him.

“How the heck would I know any of the details?” howled the old gangster angrily.

Lin Xun continued to torment the old ginseng, ignoring its shrieks. Unfortunately, the old rascal didn’t say anything of note.

Finally, the old ginseng couldn’t take it anymore and screamed, “You brat, if you have the guts then just kill me now. Otherwise, I’m going to kill you the day I get out of this!”

He had emphasized the word kill, sounding like a complete gangster.

No one would have ever imagined that a wise supreme-king-grade herb could actually act like a low life gangster.

In the end, Lin Xun no longer tried to torture answers from him. After pondering a bit, he turned around and headed towards the canopy.

Although the old rogue didn’t give any real details, it was still enough for him to understand that the bronze flower bud contained a blessing that a true Saint had used their heart’s blood to make. It was truly worthy of being called the foundation of Cangwu Mountain!

This would no doubt astonish many people since it was related to a true Saint. The blessing in question had to be extraordinary!

Purple divine light emitted from the canopy of the Ancient Dao Lantern Tree. At the very top, there was a bronze flower bud in the midst of blooming, gushing out rays of divine dao light.

Rumble~~

Bursts of dao sound came out one after another from the bronze bud. It resembled a giant clock that was shaking up the heavens and earth.

Once Lin Xun arrived there, he could see that all of the peak level experts, such as Yu Lingkong, Ji Xingyao, and Luo Jia, had also arrived.

Everyone was staring at the bronze bud that was beginning to bloom with different expressions on their faces.
