Chapter 699: Treasure Splitting

Bohan Island.

“My avatar was actually killed? Although my strength has yet to break through, my realm has long reached the Primordial realm. Even so, I was killed by them?” A white-haired man sat cross-legged, eyes filled not with anger but surprise. “I have always believed that the ones who can truly threaten me in the spatial tide were only limited to those old fellows who have also reached the Primordial realm.”

To have one’s realm reached without a strength breakthrough, Bohan Island Lord was not the only one to deliberately do so in the spatial tide.

It was just that the spatial tide was just too vast… All Bohan Island Lord interacted with were a mere handful. In their eyes, they were true rivals! Only they could threaten each other’s lives.

But he never expected that a team of four cultivators who had yet to reach the Primordial realm would be able to make him suffer such a terrible defeat.

Loss of his avatar could be neglected since it could be cultivated again! But some of his favorite treasures and weapons for combat were gone. This pained his heart.

“Treasures I’ve accumulated over all these years are now in their hands,” thought the white-haired man.

“However, to be able to fight beyond his level, that archer definitely possesses some unique Dharmic formulations. The cultivation system in their world must be very unique.” The white-haired man’s eyes were filled with anticipation. “I wonder if there’s a method to revive Lan Sheng in that world’s cultivation system.”

Although he had many thoughts, Bohan Island Lord did not plan to pursue them.

Firstly, the treasures he used to kill enemies had been snatched! His strength even suffered a precipitous drop; therefore, staying in his lair was safest.

Secondly, he had no confidence in dealing with Hou Yi’s nine Essence Soul-burning arrows.

Thirdly, his flying boat which he had spent so much effort refining was now in the hands of Qin Yun and company. Since they were bent on fleeing, there was no way Bohan Island Lord could intercept them successfully.

“How should I defend against his ninth arrow?” The white-haired man began thinking.

“Sou!”

Qin Yun and company sat on the flying boat and shuttled through the spatial tide.

“This is really fast, 30% faster than the flying boat the Third Supremacy used.” Qin Yun and company were astonished as well.

“It might even be possible that Bohan Island Lord doesn’t have any faster flying boats,” said Kong Xuan with a laugh. “As long as we are careful, that Bohan Island Lord has no way of catching up to us.”

“We must not be careless.”

The pale Hou Yi, who was sitting cross-legged, said, “The Bohan Island’s experts can intercept us on the way. If they succeed in intercepting us, we would be in danger.”

By the side, Palatial Lord Myriad Flower immediately said, “Yes, Bohan Island has unique tracking means. They are able to catch up to enemies every time. This flying boat is Bohan Island Lord’s, so it should be the fastest one he has! Fortunately, your return course cannot be guessed by them.”

“Yes, our course has to be changed frequently,” said Kong Xuan with a smile. “Just a slight change would result in billions of kilometers of difference. There’s no way they can lay an ambush. But to do it this way, there’s no way for us to take the fastest possible route back. We will probably take an additional year or two by doing so.”

With the flying boat’s speed, an additional year or two would imply a very great distance.

“I’d rather make a safe detour lasting a year or two,” said Qin Yun. “By the way, the treasures on Bohan Island Lord are probably extraordinary. Let’s check through them carefully. There might be something useful that can instantly raise our strength.”

“Right.” Goumang, Kong Xuan, and Hou Yi nodded. “Let’s split the treasures now.”

Palatial Lord Myriad Flower sat in the corner of the flying boat, with his head turned over.

Hua!

The first thing that appeared was Bohan Island Lord’s corpse. The corpse was still wearing the black armor.

“This armor is very strange.” Hou Yi pointed at Bohan Island’s wound. “It’s like it’s a part of his body.”

“Yeah.”

Qin Yun was also looking carefully.

He also noticed that the armor on Bohan Island was not a Connate Numinous Treasure. Just like a demon could produce scaled armor, Bohan Island Lord’s body had grown such scales. Even his helm was naturally formed.

“This is a unique cultivation Dharmic formulation,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower. “Cultivating one’s body is very difficult as the innards are the weakest. Rumor had it that this unique cultivation Dharmic formulation involves infusing the strength of various treasures into one’s skin layer, cultivating the skin into something like armor that can be cultivated to a profound level, just like Bohan Island Lord did. Unfortunately, I’ve only heard of it and have never obtained such a cultivation Dharmic formulation.”

“Take it back and let the Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor have a look. Perhaps, this cultivation Dharmic formulation can be understood from a dissection,” said Hou Yi.

What followed were all sorts of treasures.

Item after item was placed inside the flying boat. Of course, the most treasured collections Bohan Island Lord had were hidden in his homeworld or in Bohan Island! What he carried on him for battle were only combat items.

The black disc, three sabers, eighteen shields, and a silver thread, together with the flying boat they were on were the most important treasures Bohan Island Lord had carried with him. The other items were of much inferior quality.

“This disc is a cardinal array formation treasure.” Kong Xuan studied it. “It’s good at sealing the void and can form a suppressive domain. It’s much stronger than my domain. Back then, my Five-colored Divine Light was dispelled by it. Thankfully, we were inside the Myriad Flower Palace which helped us fend off this domain.”

Palatial Lord Myriad Flower said helplessly, “My Myriad Flower Palace can only protect those inside of it. It’s not like a cardinal array formation that can be brought out and used anywhere.”

Qin Yun and company nodded slightly.

A cardinal array formation domain treasure? It was stronger than Kong Xuan’s domain and was a true treasure.

“I’ve not seen any weapon more baneful than these three sabers in the Three Realms before,” added Kong Xuan. “If they were in the hands of the Fiend Ancestor, it would probably bring out even greater might.”

“The eighteen shields are a treasure used to fend against area-of-attack strikes,” said Goumang. “It’s peerlessly mystical and can split space-time. It can throw a huge group of enemies into different space-time pockets to be dealt with one by one. However, it’s useless against Hou Yi’s arrows.”

The pale Hou Yi shook his head and said, “His protective mystic art was very powerful. Together with his protective armor, I could only kill him with my ninth arrow by burning my Essence Soul.”

The first arrow he delivered when burning his Essence Soul had already reached the might of the Heavenly Dao realm…

For Bohan Island Lord’s body to be able to withstand the first eight arrows, it showed how terrifying he was. However, the qualitative change in the ninth arrow was something even Bohan Island Lord could not resist.

“These eighteen shields are very mystical. They can split space-time, and if not for my burning of my Essence Soul, my arrow would not have been able to break through their defenses,” said Hou Yi again. “If it was blocked by this shield… weakening my ninth arrow’s might, perhaps the ninth arrow might not have killed Bohan Island Lord’s avatar.”

“This silver thread is extraordinary as well.” Qin Yun looked at the thread which was akin to a worldly rope. It seemed capable of capturing every item in the world. “It’s likely best at capturing enemies. Since we were hiding in Myriad Flower Palace, Bohan Island Lord had no chance to use this treasure.”

“Everyone, take a look,” said Hou Yi. “What do you want?”

“Hou Yi, you and Qin Yun should have first dibs,” said Kong Xuan immediately. “Goumang and I didn’t do anything just now. It was both of you who were giving your best. You even consumed a Soul Heart Fruit.”

“Let Brother Hou Yi choose first then,” said Qin Yun with a smile. “For us to kill the enemy, it was all thanks to Brother Hou Yi’s abilities.”

“Without you defending us… I wouldn’t be able to use my full strength,” said Hou Yi. “Let’s do it this way, I’ll take these three sabers. They were the strongest and most precious weapon of Bohan Island Lord.”

Qin Yun and company agreed to that.

The three sabers were a Connate Cardinal treasure and were extremely baneful as a set. Their value was naturally the highest. If split apart, any one saber’s price was no lesser than the black disc or silver thread.

“I’ll take these eighteen shields and this flying boat,” said Qin Yun. The both added up was close to the three sabers in value.

“Brother Goumang, you go first,” said Kong Xuan with a smile.

“I’m good at capturing enemies, so I have no need for another treasure that does the same. I want this array formation disc,” said Goumang.

Kong Xuan nodded as well. It was within his expectations. “Then, this silver thread is mine.” He was good in domains in the first place. With a cardinal treasure good at capturing enemies, his strength would increase greatly.

“By the way, Brother Goumang, on the way back, let me study the array disc. I’ll return it to you when we return to the Three Realms. I want to see how is it stronger than my Five-colored Divine Light,” said Kong Xuan.

“Lend me your silver thread for studying on the way back as well,” Goumang said with a smile. “I want to see the difference between its capturing methods and mine.”

After the important treasures were split, the remaining treasures were simply split. Qin Yun and Hou Yi each received one portion while Kong Xuan and Goumang shared one portion.

In fact, the victory against Bohan Island Lord was mainly thanks to Hou Yi and Qin Yun who paid the price of eating a Soul Heart Fruit. The price of a Soul Heart Fruit was about the same as a Connate Cardinal treasure, so Kong Xuan and Goumang were very modest when picking treasures.

It was very difficult to obtain a single Connate Cardinal treasure in the Three Realms. But on this trip, Hou Yi and company had received several pieces. Furthermore, they obtained divine fruits which did not exist in the Three Realms. Qin Yun also obtained even more treasures divine fruits… This was also the reason why the ancient existences in the Three Realms both feared and looked forward to the spatial tide.

Entering the spatial tide was indeed dangerous, but there were opportunities.

For instance, Qin Yun and company had been in peril when facing Bohan Island Lord. Without the divine fruit, they would probably be doomed and become subordinates of Bohan Island Lord. Qin Yun’s transcending of the tribulations would then have to happen in the spatial tide. But now, they had succeeded and returned with a large number of treasures.

On the way back, they let Palatial Lord Myriad Flower leave.

Furthermore, Qin Yun and company kept tweaking their course, making impossible for Bohan Island to lay an ambush. After 83 years, Qin Yun and company finally arrived at the Chaos spatial rift.

“We’re back.” Qin Yun looked at the Chaos spatial rift of the Three Realms and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Sou!”

The flying boat flew straight into the Chaos spatial rift as they returned to the area under the Three Realms’ control.

Inside the spatial tide, by the corner of the Chaos spatial rift, three spatial worms appeared. One of them formed the silver-robed man’s projection.

“This Chaos spatial rift leads to their homeworld?” the silver-robed projection whispered. Following that he disappeared and the three spatial worms hid within the spatial tide, becoming one with it, making it impossible to detect them.
