Chapter 518 - Bronze Square Tripod
Chapter 518: Bronze Square Tripod
Su Zimo went silent.
At the mention of Dragon Burial Valley, even he felt a chill, let alone Li Ziyue.
It was as though a pair of eyes was watching them from the darkness, causing their hairs to stand on end!
Su Zimo shrugged his head to compose himself.
The blood of emperors and the death of patriarchs buried the divine dragon.
There must be countless dangers lurking in that unlucky place. If it was somewhere a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure could not make it out alive from, he would naturally not take the risk as a Golden Core.”
However, the Rain Frost Flower, Purple Cloud Lingzhi, Thousand Year Blood Ginseng and Qian Essence Grass were extremely rare spirit herbs – where should he look for them?
The Tribulation Tiding Elixir was way too crucial for the disheveled old man.
Without that elixir, the disheveled old man would have to endure a tremendous risk to attempt at a breakthrough. Otherwise, he could only wait till his lifespan was eaten up and die of a weakened blood qi.
Su Zimo strode in deep thoughts.
Before long, he felt a dull pain as though he stepped on something.
He did not think much about it and continued walking. After a while, he started wondering.
Even without circulating his Inner Core or invoking his blood qi, his body was tough enough to defend against weapons.
What could it be that could cause him to feel pain?
A treasure?
10,000 years ago, a capital was destroyed overnight alongside two great monasteries. Countless treasures were buried in the ruins.
However, Su Zimo did not find anything along the way.
The forbidden grounds in the palace that he was in was extremely unusual and there was quite a high chance that a great treasure might be buried within!
Turning back, Su Zimo took more than ten steps before he came to a stop, glaring at the ground beneath his feet with a deep gaze.
Under the stone slabs and dust, a piece of metal protruded with a dull green gleam.
Frowning slightly, Su Zimo waved his sleeves and cleared the slabs in the surroundings. More of the metal was revealed, looking like the handle of an object.
Grabbing the handle, Su Zimo pulled it outside.
“Hmm?”
Su Zimo’s expression changed slightly.
That unknown object that was buried in the ruins merely budged slightly!
Freeing both hands, Su Zimo’s eyes lit up as he grabbed the piece of metal. His bloodline surged and he exerted his entire body’s strength, yanking upwards with a deep grunt!
Bang! Boom! Boom!
The ground shook violently and almost sank in!
Coming forth from the ground, a gigantic object gradually came into view.
It was a bronze tripod.
Tripods were the most mysterious objects in Tianhuang Mainland.
In the cultivation world, tripods, cauldrons, pagodas and bells were the most difficult weapons to control and they were not sharp – any cultivator that could use those four types of weapons were not to be trifled.
All four types of weapons had a common feature.
All of them had empty space within.
They could restrain and lock up living beings or other weapons.
The four types of weapons possessed different Dharmas and Daos. To begin with, each of them had different mysterious powers that were frightening!
For example, the bell possessed the power of sound.
In the monasteries of the cultivation world, most of them possessed the gigantic bells of Buddhism.
Each time the gigantic bells rang, the sounds of Sanskrit would reverberate and evil demons, ghosts and monsters would not dare to approach.
As for cauldrons, they possessed the power of incineration right after they were refined.
Among them, the tripods were symbols of dignity and power.
Tripods were pillars of nations and Daos – a single suppression from them could stabilize the four seas and the eight desolates!
They possessed supreme powers and had an absolute position!
In the cultivation world, most of the tripods referred to three-legged round tripods.
Three legs, two handles and one base. Innately, they fit the cosmic rules and the obscurities of the Dao.
The tripod before him was a four-legged square tripod.
Unlike the three-legged round tripod that symbolized harmony with its roundness, the four-legged square tripod was defined and did not fit in with the world as it stood upright.
However, the defined shape of the tripod gave it a domineering look and a mighty aura!
If the heavens do not tolerate me, I’ll break the heavens!
If the earth does not tolerate me, I’ll trample on it!
If the world does not tolerate me, I’ll create my own world!
The four-legged square tripod was extremely similar to Su Zimo’s character.
The bronze square tripod was a meter tall. Placed upright before Su Zimo, it gave off an ancient aura – a single look was enough to tell that this was no ordinary object.
Unfortunately, the bronze square tripod was filled with cracks all over and was dim without luster. It seemed to have gone through something that caused it to be destroyed.
“What a pity.”
Xuan Yi shook his head and sighed. “I’m sure this bronze tripod must have been an incredible weapon back then. Even if it’s a connate spirit weapon, it’s now useless in this state.”
There were a couple of damaged connate spirit weapons in Su Zimo’s storage bag.
For example, although the Mystic Gold Silk Armor was destroyed with its spirit patterns dispersed, the armor itself was fine and there was even a broken connate spirit pattern that was left behind.
As for the bronze square tripod before them, the tripod itself was almost completely destroyed and there was no chance of repairing it.
Even a slight knock would be able to break this bronze square tripod before them into useless metal shards.
Su Zimo gave a self-deprecating smile and lamented, “I must have thought too much. Now that 10,000 years have passed, even if there were any great treasures, others must have taken it away. How could there be anything left for me?”
Just as he was about to turn away, he frowned and looked at the bronze square tripod before him. His gaze shimmered, seemingly in deep thought.
A moment later, he narrowed his eyes that suddenly shot out two divine lights. Taking a deep breath, he channeled his bloodline and punched the bronze square tripod heavily!
Clang!
The fist and tripod collided.
There wasn’t the dull sound of flesh being struck. Instead, a metallic sound reverberated non-stop!
The bronze square tripod did not budge at all.
Su Zimo did not hold back with that attack at all.
Even if it was a perfect superior-grade spirit weapon, it would have been broken into pieces!
Expressionlessly, Su Zimo slapped his storage bag and took out his Coiling Dragon Seal.
His intent was clear.
He was going to test out the bronze square tripod!
Furthermore, he was testing it with a connate spirit weapon!
In any case, the bronze square tripod was already extremely battered and useless. There was nothing to feel sad about even if it was destroyed by the Coiling Dragon Seal.
However, if the Coiling Dragon Seal could not destroy it…
Tossing the Coiling Dragon Seal out, Su Zimo channeled his Golden Core and shot out a stream of spirit energy from his fingertip that entered the Coiling Dragon Seal.
The Coiling Dragon Seal shone brightly!
Six spirit patterns shimmered repeatedly before letting out a dazzling golden burst of light that resembled a blazing sun!
At Foundation Establishment realm, Su Zimo could not release the full might of the connate spirit weapon.
But now, a change happened when his power of Golden Core was injected into the Coiling Dragon Seal!
The divine dragon etched on the surface came to life in that endless golden light, roaring wildly into the skies!
It happened at almost the same time.
The Stellar Luna Sect, Shadowless Sect and Blaze Columbus Valley cultivators who had just entered the palace felt the shockwave of spirit energy bursting forth from the depths of the palace.
Looking over, they caught sight of a golden light shining vaguely in the night!
Qian Xinyu soared into the air and gazed at the direction of the golden light deeply. His eyes lit up as he chuckled. “Indeed, a great treasure has appeared. I’ll definitely be able to get into the top hundred of the Phenomenon Ranking in the ancient battlefield 20 years later!”
“It’s a connate spirit weapon!”
In the darkness, Mo Xiaofeng of Shadowless Sect came to a halt and his gaze burned.
Blaze Columbus Valley’s Wang Yan reared his head and roared into laughter. No longer hiding himself, he rose into the air and glared in the direction of Stellar Luna Sect and Shadowless Sect in an unbridled manner, shouting, “I’m going to get my hands on that connate spirit weapon!”
“Only the strongest can get their hands on that great treasure!”
Qian Xinyu sneered and sped towards the depths of the palace in a flash.
The many cultivators of Shadowless Sect and Blaze Columbus Valley made their move as well.
