Chapter 771: East Sea Divine Pearl

Inside the Daoist temple, divine energy was immeasurable; the divine pearl radiated boundless divine power, dazzling to the extreme, and every wisp of chaotic qi made one tremble with fear.

This divine pearl was extremely formidable, floating and sinking in the void; within the pearl, it seemed there was a heaven and earth, sealing a chaotic divine sea.

Crack, crack, crack! Patches of the void split open, spreading rapidly in all directions; the Daoist temple shook, but surprisingly did not collapse.

Yang Tian's fists clenched tightly. He gazed at the divine pearl, a trace of fervor flashing in his eyes. This was truly a supreme treasure!

With a hum, the golden qi sea roared, surging out a mass of golden blood qi that poured into the golden divine pearl. The power of this artifact grew increasingly terrifying, as if a deity within had awakened!

Waves of destruction emanated from within. As Yang Tian urged the divine pearl, the chaotic sea it unleashed also became more fearsome.

Divine energy was immeasurable. Although this divine pearl was slightly inferior to the golden divine staff, its power was still extremely terrifying, capable of annihilating all things.

"What a terrifying artifact. It feels somewhat similar to the divine might emanating from the golden divine staff. Could it be a treasure from the same era?" At this moment, an incredible thought surged in Yang Tian's mind.

If that were the case, then the golden divine staff was not a treasure born from gestation. This divine pearl required blood qi to activate, while the staff could unleash boundless divine power just by swinging it, shaking the heavens.

After urging it for only a moment, Yang Tian's face turned somewhat pale. His face was full of joy, but as his eyes fell on the divine pearl, which had returned to its original state, his gaze became hesitant.

"This treasure is the supreme treasure of the Daoist temple. If I take it, would that be improper?" He glanced at the stone tablet and muttered.

If this treasure were discovered by the outside world, it would surely cause a huge uproar. At this moment, Yang Tian looked at the stone tablet, uncertain.

"Forget it. That you discovered the East Sea Divine Pearl is also your destiny." The voice sounded again.

"Senior!" A hint of joy appeared on Yang Tian's face. He quickly said, "Thank you for the gift, Senior. If there is ever a need for my help in the future, I will certainly do my utmost."

"This object is a transformation of a supreme treasure from the dawn of heaven and earth. There are thirty-three East Sea Divine Pearls. Whether you can gather them all depends on your fortune!" The stone tablet spoke again.

"Thirty-three!" Upon hearing this, Yang Tian's heart trembled. There were actually thirty-three of these things? This was too incredible.

This divine pearl possessed endless divine power. With his current cultivation, he naturally could not fully awaken it, but thirty-three was astonishing. Yang Tian was momentarily speechless.

"Senior, may I ask where the thirty-three East Sea Divine Pearls are?" Yang Tian couldn't help asking. He felt that this item should be a set of treasures, and the combined power would be terrifying!

The Daoist temple was silent for a long time, and the stone tablet did not speak, leaving Yang Tian feeling awkward. Was he being too greedy?

This item was definitely a treasure from before the Great Destruction. To obtain one was already a tremendous stroke of luck.

"East Sea Divine Pearl—why is it called that? And I haven't even refined it, yet I can activate it." Looking at the divine pearl, Yang Tian muttered to himself.

"Although this item is terrifying, activating it consumes a great deal of essence." Yang Tian put away the divine pearl and walked toward the door.

As soon as he came out, the scene before him startled Yang Tian. Near the treasure tree sat thousands of human cultivators, most of them shrouded in a hazy yellow divine radiance, clearly comprehending the power of the rules.

Scratching his head, Yang Tian's eyes fell on the treasure tree. Twenty-three ginseng fruits had been distributed, and eight remained.

"You're back..." Seeing Yang Tian emerge, Yuan Xia walked over gracefully, a sweet smile on her face.

Seeing the woman in white before him, Yang Tian recalled his experience in the stone tablet, and his hand couldn't help but grasp Yuan Xia's jade hand.

"Ah... you're hurting me..." The force came suddenly, and Yuan Xia's brows furrowed slightly. She pouted her red lips, somewhat dissatisfied.

"Uh, I forgot..." Scratching his head, Yang Tian grinned. "How is it? Did you eat the ginseng fruit?"

"Not yet." Five clusters of immortal light appeared in her hand. Yuan Xia gritted her teeth and said sweetly, "Here, half for each of you. You need the foundation to step into the Emperor level."

Shaking his head, Yang Tian said, "Take it yourself. You need a lot of energy to reach the Undying realm. I obtained a divine pill in the alchemy chamber, so I'll have enough energy to advance."

"Hmph, you've never tried this before. Have a taste." Hearing this, Yuan Xia snorted lightly and rolled her eyes at Yang Tian.

"Miss, who is he?" A pair of gloomy eyes watched Yuan Xia's coquettish demeanor and her giving away a ginseng fruit. The old woman was immediately angered and shouted.

Yang Tian turned his head slightly and looked at an old woman. Her aura was overwhelming, clearly a patriarch-level figure.

Seeing the old woman scold her, Yuan Xia was very displeased, but this was still an elder of her clan. She said flatly, "My friend."

"Miss, this item is of great origin; you must not give it away!" The old woman glanced sidelong at Yang Tian and bellowed, "I've never even seen this boy before. I don't know which clan's disciple he is."

She herself coveted this item greatly. If Yuan Xia weren't the saintess of their clan, she would have snatched it long ago.

"An insignificant nobody, not worth mentioning." Yang Tian snorted lightly, looking at the covetous old woman with a smile.

The old woman's face darkened. This boy dared to speak to her like that—utterly presumptuous. Her blood qi began to churn.

"This thing smells good. I'll have a bite." Why would Yang Tian fear her? He grabbed a cluster of immortal light and stuffed it into his mouth.

"You..." The old woman was furious and was about to make a move, but then she remembered the terrifying power of the treasure tree and suppressed her anger.

"Miss, you are the saintess of our Yuan family. You must act with propriety. How can you be so close to a nobody? I will definitely report this to the clan head!"

The surrounding human cultivators couldn't help but glance at the old woman. This old crone really didn't know anything. This young man possessed a primordial divine object. If he announced he wanted to marry a saintess, those outer-domain great sects would probably come eagerly to propose.

"This old woman is always going against me." Yuan Xia angrily twisted the cloth in her hands. She gritted her teeth and said, "When I reach the Cave Heaven realm and return, let's see what you can do to me."

She knew very well what the old woman was up to. Yuan Xia had extraordinary talent, possessed a Splendid Mountains and Rivers divine object, and was the number one beauty of the eight great families. The old woman's son had always wanted to propose marriage.

Seeing Yuan Xia close her eyes, the old woman was furious. After all, she was an elder of the family. Although Yuan Xia was the saintess, she still had to obey discipline.

Inside the Ancestral Dragon Ring, Yang Tian's body was filled with soaring treasure qi, and a blazing fire burned within him. He had eaten a cluster of immortal light, but he hadn't expected the effect to be so astonishing.

This cluster of immortal light not only contained vast life essence but also a kind of rule—the wood-element rule power, extremely formidable.

"No wonder all clans want to obtain the ginseng fruit. It turns out it contains the wood-element rule. If one eats a whole fruit, they would surely comprehend it; even a bite would allow one to get started."

Sitting before the Enlightenment Divine Flower, Yang Tian's entire aura was ethereal and elusive. With this cluster of immortal light, he had enough to step into the Great Emperor level, and his combat power would skyrocket.

A hazy Dao sound came from within his body. Yang Tian's entire body was wrapped in a layer of immortal light. His flesh absorbed the wood essence within, and his whole body was silently transforming.

The ginseng fruit was an extremely rare treasure, one could say a divine fruit. His Life Wheel Eye trembled. The wood essence was the source of all things, bringing unimaginable benefits to the Life Wheel Sea of the human body.

Dong, dong, dong! His inner source expanded, and the Dao sounds he emitted gradually strengthened. His entire body was like a divine king, extremely powerful.

He sat there for three full days. When the last trace of wood essence was absorbed, Yang Tian's body shook, and a powerful fluctuation was born from within.

Rumble! The heaven and earth essence around him began to tremble. Stepping into the Great Emperor level, Yang Tian's mastery of the world's divine might increased nearly twofold.

At this moment, his palm slightly raised. The heaven and earth essence in the void instantly converged, draining the essence within ten thousand zhang in an instant, forming a terrifying giant hand that radiated fearsome divine might.

The moment his palm fell, the giant hand dissipated. Yang Tian opened his eyes and said, "Having stepped into the Great Emperor level, I can now mobilize the power of heaven and earth when facing enemies."

Just as he opened his eyes, Yang Tian's brow furrowed. Outside, a tremendous change was taking place in the world. A force of death enveloped the entire small world!
