The mysterious gauntlet, awarded by the towering Heavenly Pagoda of the ancient Pure Yang Martial Sect that emerged in Yan State, was a reward given to Gu Chen after he achieved the highest accomplishment in the first trial.
Initially, Gu Chen knew nothing about the mysterious gauntlet, thinking it was merely a superior divine weapon that could fuse with his flesh and blood. It wasn't until later that he realized the gauntlet was extraordinary, containing unimaginable power, or perhaps, it was an evil weapon.
For the gauntlet could absorb the martial artist's vital essence and soul, and even devour divine weapons.
When Gu Chen was weak, he indeed relied on the mysterious gauntlet to overcome many difficulties, but later, he sensed something was wrong with it. After obtaining the Heavenly Seed, the gauntlet was suppressed by the seed until now.
