Chapter 324: The Cave Mansion
Xiao Tian picked up a Demon Extermination Order at the Grand Thousand Building in Shengyuan City before departing.
As he delved deeper into the Sacred Abyss Continent, various anomalies began to appear in the sky and earth. These anomalies were remnants of powerful beings who had perished in ancient times, each possessing formidable power capable of instantly obliterating any ordinary Earthly Supreme who came across them.
Moving forward, Xiao Tian felt the fluctuations in the air becoming increasingly dense. Looking into the distance, he saw the space ahead riddled with cracks, emanating an extremely oppressive aura.
Boom!
Silver-white storms raged across the land, seemingly endless, with no material existence within them, creating an eerie void. Only a Celestial Supreme's power could tear through the storm to reach the depths of the Sacred Abyss Continent.
"It's remarkable how even the Divine Realm could be destroyed by a space-time storm, requiring all the deities to barely withstand it!" Xiao Tian shook his head, noting that even a lower plane like the Sacred Abyss Continent couldn't be destroyed by such a storm. He could traverse it unscathed.
Whoosh!
With a flash, Xiao Tian entered the storm. His mastery of spatial power, combined with his Celestial Supreme strength, rendered the space-time storm almost negligible to him.
Beyond the storm lay a shattered world, filled with desolate air. In the distant sky, a fragmented sun cast weak light, while the ground was torn by a seemingly bottomless chasm, dark and terrifying.
This realm looked as though a monstrous hand had crushed it. The world's rules were shattered, causing spatial inversions. Xiao Tian also sensed a lingering oppressive aura, a remnant of a Celestial Supreme's presence. Ordinary beings needed to constantly expend energy to resist this pressure, but as a Celestial Supreme, Xiao Tian was unaffected.
He traversed the landscape, entering a series of cracked mountains. Each mountain stood ten thousand feet tall, sharp as blades, exuding a menacing aura.
Xiao Tian headed towards the heart of the mountain range. As someone who had read "The Great Ruler," he knew of a Celestial Supreme's relic hidden here. This Celestial Supreme, named Ling Die Dan Xian, was from ancient times and was known for her unparalleled alchemy skills.
Ling Die Dan Xian, though only a Spirit Grade Celestial Supreme, had alchemical skills that reached the level of a Holy Grade Grandmaster, allowing her to create pills even useful to Holy Grade Celestial Supremes. Xiao Tian's goal was to acquire her alchemical knowledge and recipes. Moreover, her relic contained numerous divine pills, all essential to Xiao Tian.
Deep in the mountains, Xiao Tian encountered green miasma, filled with lethal poison potent enough to seriously harm even a peak Earthly Supreme.
"This could be useful for Xiao Yi Xian," he thought, summoning the miasma with a wave of his hand and compressing it into a ball. With the poison mist cleared, he saw a swarm of black mosquitoes in the distance, darkening the sky with their terrifying numbers.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The mosquitoes swarmed towards Xiao Tian upon sighting him.
"I hate mosquitoes the most. Die!" Xiao Tian swept his hand, unleashing a sea of fire that consumed the swarm.
With the mosquitoes gone, Xiao Tian finally saw a massive cave mansion formed by merging several mountain peaks. The mansion, shaped like a dancing butterfly, emitted radiant spiritual energy in various colors. If it weren't located in the ancient Sacred Abyss, it would have been an ideal place to establish a sect.
Outside the mansion, a spatial barrier emanated the aura of a Celestial Supreme. Though weathered by countless years, it remained intact. Xiao Tian, enveloped in spatial power, stepped through the barrier and entered the mansion.
Inside, the mansion was even brighter than outside. Wide corridors stretched into the depths of the mansion. Xiao Tian followed one corridor to its end, where a stone hall awaited.
At the entrance of the hall lay ten stone beasts. Though devoid of any spiritual power, Xiao Tian knew they held significant strength.
Swish!
As Xiao Tian approached, the beasts' eyes opened, revealing a startling spiritual glow, indicating that their eyes were made of divine pills.
A divine pill, by Dou Qi Continent standards, was an emperor-grade pill. The largest stone beast, a dragon, had the most intense and formidable glow in its eyes.
"This must be the Holy Spirit Pill," Xiao Tian thought. The Holy Spirit Pill could elevate someone at the peak of Earthly Supreme to the pinnacle level and was valued at eighty million supreme spirit liquid. Its worth was considerable, as Xiao Meng's annual revenue from its Northern Territory industries was only fifteen billion supreme spirit liquid.
Buzz!
Without waiting for the stone beasts to fully awaken, Xiao Tian unleashed his aura. With a wave of his sleeve, twenty energy-infused divine pills flew into his grasp. Pocketing the pills, Xiao Tian continued deeper into the mansion. Every so often, he encountered another stone hall guarded by more pill beasts, their numbers increasing each time.
"There must be pill beasts guarding every corridor," Xiao Tian thought, sending out an avatar to scour the entire mansion for pill beasts.
Xiao Tian pressed forward, passing through ten stone halls. The tenth hall alone housed over a hundred pill beasts, each with at least two eyes, providing hundreds of divine pills, with eight matching the Holy Spirit Pill in quality.
Beyond the tenth hall lay a vast cavern. The ceiling sparkled like a starry sky, illuminated by radiant spiritual energy.
Peering closely, Xiao Tian realized the stars were actually divine pills.
Soon, his avatar returned from another corridor, confirming this was the ultimate pill repository. The quantity of pills here exceeded the total of all other corridors combined.
Excited, Xiao Tian exclaimed, "If I can obtain these pills, both Xiao Meng and Tian Ting's strength will significantly increase!"
