Shocking News

The next day a piece of news spread that shook up the entire Eastern region spread.

The Sect Master of the Dragon Tiger Sect " Qi Yaunkui" was dead , no one knew how he died , only that a withered corpse was left behind.

The entire Eastern region was thrown into turmoil, Qi Yaunkui was the Sect Master of the Dragon Tiger Sect and one of the most powerful expert in the Eastern region , yet he died with no clue of his death .

The war hadn't even started yet things were looking glim.

Zhan Shenwei had a look of contemplation on his face.

The blood demon clan had the ability to demonize wild beasts or human that had weak mental strength, whoever killed Qi Yaunkui could only be an expert , with the Demon king sealed, who had the ability to demonize an human expert , all experts had strong mental fortitude, then it could only mean there was a traitor.

Recalling the Emperor being poisoned and members of the imperial family who died mysteriously, Zhan Shenwei sucked a cold breath, it probably wasn't as simple as that , it could even be a group of people that had betrayed the humans.

A group of traitors.

Clenching his fist, Zhan Shenwei was angry , every expert was a core strength of the war against the blood demon clan, yet before the war a top expert was already dead , who knew how many more were already on the side of the Demon king.

Zhan Shenwei felt as if dark ominous cloud loomed over the entire Eastern region.

This war involved everybody he knew , his Family , his Clansmen, Yunzi , even the Emperor had saved his life before , more than fear for himself, he felt anxious about the lives of his loved ones.

He was scared!

Dispelling the gloomy and negative emotions from his heart, he stood up, he couldn't just sit doing nothing.

And the only worthwile thing he could do now was to increase his strength as much as possible.

Although his meridians were healed, they were still fragile, it would require nurturing before they were strong enough, although some cultivation resources could hasten the process, he couldn't increase his battle strength much in a short period of time cultivating Spirit qi.

Ever since his tribulation and he formed his Primordial Chaos God Heart, his strength has been increasing rapidly.

The next aspect of the Primordial Chaos God Scripture was the Nine Divine Transformations.

One of the reasons why Primordial Gods could dominate the myriad races under the Heavens was the ability to devour the innate abilities of other races, turning it into theirs.

The devoured ability would be similar to that of the being it came from yet it was also different, even from the same ability, the innate ability that manifested in each Primordial God was different.

The Primal law of every Primordial God was different and unique to itself.

For example there could only be one Primordial God whose primal law was fire , and any ability he devoured would be similar in aspect to this Primal law.

Primordial Gods could awaken innate abilities at every transformation realm but they could also take the innate abilities of other races and make their own innate abilities from that source.

The most terrifying part was the devouring ability of Primordial gods could go beyond the level of the source and choose the highest purity of such ability from the origin of that source.

The amount of innate abilities that could be devoured was relative to the strength of the strength of the Primordial God's primal law.

Although he didn't know the differences in number, Zhan Shenwei felt he could devour nine, he just knew.

Yet the Heavens is not without checks and balances and would restrict them, after every divine transformation, Primordial Gods had to deal with life threatening tribulations .

Tribulations were test from the heavens for cultivators but for Primordial Gods tribulations were opportunities for the heavenly Dao to vanquish them , Primordial Gods went against the heavenly Dao, they seized the essence of the heavens and made it theirs.

From birth and with every step, Primordial gods faced tribulations.

Looking into his storage , Zhan Shenwei counted all the spirit stone in his storage ring, although he had some gold it could only by normal things , cultivation resources were bought using spirit stones.

This time around he planned to spend all his spirit stones, the war was close by , he had to increase his strength as much as possible, he planned to begin his first divine Transformations.

It wasn't always certain for Primordial gods to awaken their own innate talents for divine transformation, most time they plundered, having not awakened one, Zhan Shenwei also planned to do so.

if he was lucky and found a suitable ability, he planned to create his first divine ability.

.....

After telling Yunzi of his plans , they left the Palace and went together with second elder and few imperial experts Zhan Shenwei could not recognize but were clearly there to ensure their safety.

If possible he wouldn't want to go to the treasure pavilion again after the he caused the last time, but it had the best cultivation resources in the entire Eastern region.

If he was looking to create a good divine ability, he could only check from the best of sources.

And he couldn't be bothered about with keeping a low profile with the war almost at hand.

Looking through the window of the carriage, he could see the streets of the Imperial Capital, apart from soilders and Cultivators going up and down, he hardly saw any citizens walking about.

The usual vibrant imperial city had a very sober atmosphere, most people that went about were looking to buy anything to increase their chances of survival, food, weapons, cultivation resources were been frantically accumulated.

Beneath the quite atmosphere, he could feel a lot of panic , according to Xia Yunzi some Nobel's and merchant were selling their properties to be able to bid for tickets by the Treasure Pavilion to leave the Eastern region.

The Eastern region separated by large expanse of water was far away from other regions, only the Treasure Pavilion a large force that had connections and branches across so many regions had the ability and resources to transport large amounts people to other regions.

Compared to the rest of the Imperial city the atmosphere of the Treasure Pavilion was unusual, the customers were clearly rushing about to buy things they could find , in another floor an auction was being carried out with all sorts of people bidding aggressively for tickets on a large spirit boat that was leaving for the main Canglan continent yet the staff of the Treasure Pavilion were fairly relaxed.

Although it would be shame to remove the branch from the Eastern region, they could always set up else where.

Xia Yunzi was trembling seeing all this , this was her people yet she couldn't do anything to help , she didn't blame anyone even the one's clearly running away, wasn't it normal for one to try to preserve their lives.

Seeing this Zhan Shenwei took her hand into his palm and held it.

Looking at the hand holding hers , Xia Yunzi looked up .

" It'll be ok " , he said, and looking at the resolve of his eyes she calmed down.

Nodding her head in response, they went around the treasure pavilion.

As they checked through, Zhan Shenwei bought anything he felt was useful , he bought some spirit herbs and beast meat.

After forming his Primordial Chaos Heart , Zhan Shenwei found out he could devour anything to refine primal lightening essence.

Although the rate of conversion was low compared to specific body cultivation resources, he could still make use of spirit herbs and beast meat.

he also bought a black spirit amour and large broad Sword.

For Yunzi, she didn't really buy much after she was from the Imperial Family, she had most things she need , her main purpose of tagging along was to see outside the imperial palace.

Xiaomei also bought things she felt could be useful to her.

Looking around Zhan Shenwei didn't forget his main purpose for coming to the Treasure Pavilion, apart from cultivation resources he planned to find a source to absorb his first divine ability.

After a while , they came to rare treasure section, compared to other sections like the spirit herbs section or weapon section that was specific , the rare treasure section contained cultivation resources of all kinds and all kinds of rare objects were placed there.

Checking through a bit he still hadn't yet found anything suitable, he only had the opportunity for nine divine abilities and he had to make sure it was something that suited him moreover it had to be something that could help in the upcoming war.

After while he came across an interesting silver piece of bone, according to the description beneath it the bone belonged to an herculean might ape, the might ape was known for its massive strength, Zhan Shenwei felt if he could obtain a divine ability from it , it could help him.

He was about to choose it , when his sight came across a strange floating drop of blood, sealed in a glass jade compartment .

This drop of blood of blood was very big about the size of baby fist and contained dense black blood red demonic markings, looking at the description beneath, it was the Blood Essence of a Blood demon King.

Was this same blood demon king from centuries ago?

After hearing about the Great war from Xia Yunzi, he had gone to the imperial library to read about the blood demon clan.

Out of curiosity, Zhan Shenwei left the bone and walked towards the blood essence, although the herculean might ape was very strong, he necessarily didn't need it, could it physical prowess compare to that of a Primordial God.

The innate ability of the blood demon clan could be very useful in battle.

After checking through the description beneath, he was quite satisfied with it but although he wanted it, he couldn't afford it again, he had only few thousands spirit stones left after all the things he had previously bought, spending quite a large sum to buy the armour and broadsword

Yet not one to be foolishly shy when things were important and he really needed it, he looked towards Xia Yunzi for spirit stones , as the princess of Great Xia empire, he was sure she had enough spirit to buy that drop of blood essence.

Knowing he wouldn't ask if it wasn't important , Xia Yunzi payed for him.

Grasping a bottle containing the blood essence, Zhan Shenwei cupsed his fist and bowed lightly to his fiance with a smile on his face.

Seeing his antics, Xia Yunzi chuckled and just smiled back.

.....

After they had gone, a maid walked to towards a secluded chamber in the top most floor Treasure Pavilion.

She knocked and on after getting a response she entered.

In the room, the young maid knelt down towards a hazy figure behind a dark curtain and said " Master, the boy you asked to look out for, came today ".

" Oh, what for ", an hazy androgynous voice replied for behind the curtain.

" He spent most of his time buying some spirit herbs, a amount of beast meat and an armor and a weapon, he also bought the blood essence of the blood demon king ".

" You can leave ", answered, from behind the dark curtain.

The maid bowed in response and left.

" Why did he buy it ?" , The figure mumbled to itself, back then the Treasure pavilion had spent a huge sum to obtain the demon king blood essence after the Great war and that was the only drop left.

the rest had been used for various purposes by either the Treasure pavilion or other experts who procured it from them.

Though just a drop left, it still cost a huge sum , he didn't think Zhan Shenwei would buy it for no reason.
