Chapter 2855: I Really Want This Box
Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he heard the Chaos Divine Flame’s voice. He instinctively replied, “Senior, I’ve checked with my Divine Consciousness. There’s nothing in the box..”
The Chaos Divine Flame scoffed. “There are several Formations on the box. Only a Celestial Lord or someone stronger would be able to neutralize the three small Formations. What your Divine Consciousness detected is just a false image constructed by the small Formations. There are three items in the box that can save your life. You must obtain it!”
Then, the Chaos Divine Flame’s voice turned softer and softer as it spoke, “I’ll have to sleep for now. In a month, when I wake up, I’ll wake the Profound Divine Metal up as well. At that time, the Profound Divine Metal should have enough energy to wake up. Then, we’ll join forces and help you open this box. Of course, that’s only if you’re able to obtain the box…”
After the Chaos Divine Flame’s voice trailed off, it no longer responded no matter how many times Duan Ling Tian called out to it.
‘The Chaos Divine Flame said only a Celestial Lord or someone stronger can see through the Formations on the box and open it… This must be why everyone, including the Old Ancestor, can’t sense anything from the box! It must be due to the three Formations!’ Although the Chaos Divine Flame’s words sounded crazy, Duan Ling Tian did not doubt its words. After all, the Chaos Divine Flame existed in his body now, it was part of his strength. It was all thanks to the Chaos Divine Flame that had entered the third form and was equivalent to a prominent Celestial Fire that he could skillfully refine pills. Naturally, it was more extraordinary than prominent Celestial Fire. It was only natural that he believed the Chaos Divine Flame’s words over the people in the surroundings.
“I can’t open it!” He Shan said.
Upon hearing this, the crowd began to whisper among themselves.
“It seems like the box has some really complex Formations… Even the Old Ancestor who’s an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke can’t open it.”
Duan Ling Tian heard an onlooker’s words just as he regained his senses. He turned to look at He Shan and saw He Shan sending his Celestial Origin Energy into the box to open it but to no avail.
He Shan’s face flushed red from the exertion. No matter how much Celestial Origin Energy he sent into the box, it refused to open. Based on this, it was clear an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke was not strong enough to open the box. In fact, based on how He Shan had struggled to open the box, perhaps, even a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke or a Ten Directions Celestial Duke might not be able to open it.
“I can’t open it.” He Shan freely admitted he could not open the box. Then, he turned to look at the owner of the box and said, “This box is really complex… It’s quite useful to store precious things. Thus, it can also be considered as a treasure. However, there’s nothing in the box. And since the box can’t be opened, the box itself is of no value.”
“Senior He Shan, believe it or not… My grandmaster really did obtain this box in Little World left behind by a strong Celestial Lord. My grandmaster wouldn’t lie to me!” the old man said solemnly.
“I didn’t say you lied.” He Shan shook his head and handed the box over to the old man. “I merely said the box is of little value. If I’m not mistaken, those weaker than Celestial Kings won’t be able to open it at all. If it can’t be opened, there’s no way you can exchange it for a Duke Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability.”
Upon hearing He Shan’s words, the sturdy middle-aged man scoffed. “Did you hear that? Senior He Shan said no one would exchange their Duke Grade Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities for your stupid box!”
The old man remained silent. He was inwardly shaken. His master would not lie to him. Then, was it possible that his grandmaster lied to his master? After all, he was not familiar with his grandmaster. In fact, he had never even met his grandmaster before. He had only heard about his grandmaster from his master. Moreover, his master was only a nominal disciple of his grandmaster; his master had only learned from his grandmaster for half a month. For this reason, his master did not know much about his grandmaster as well. This old box was the only thing his grandmaster left to his master. Naturally, his master also determined there was nothing in the box. His master had always treated the box as a keepsake from his grandmaster even if there was no value to it. Since his master was killed, he decided to exchange this box for a Duke Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability to improve his strength so he could avenge his master.
The old man began to doubt himself. ‘Did grandmaster really obtain this box in a Little World left behind by a strong Celestial Lord?’ After all, it was possible that his grandmaster had lied to his master to make the box seem important.
Meanwhile, after listening to He Shan’s words, the crowd began to discuss among themselves with voices that were dripping with contempt.
“This old man actually wants to use such a useless thing to exchange for a Duke Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability… Is he trying to scam people?”
“There are so many dishonest people in this world… Does he really think he can deceive us? Does he think we’re three-year-olds?”
“Only a fool will exchange a Duke Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability for his box.”
“That’s right!”
When the old man heard the discussions in the surroundings, his face flushed red in embarrassment.
“Let’s leave… There’s no need for us to waste our time on a liar.”
“Yes, let’s go.”
The crowd was about to leave when Duan Ling Tian stepped forward and asked the old man who was about to leave as well, “What kind of Duke Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability do you want in exchange for the box?”
The crowd who was about to leave came to halt immediately. All of them looked at Duan Ling Tian incredulously. They, naturally, decided to stay and watch the excitement.
“The Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect… Is he going to exchange a Duke Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability for the old man’s useless old box?”
“He can’t be that stupid, right?”
“I don’t think he’s that stupid. He’s probably trying to test the old man to see how greedy he is.”
“That’s right! Who knows if the old man is audacious enough to ask for a double trait offensive-defensive Duke Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability?”
At this moment, the crowd finally noticed something they had previously overlooked. The crowd finally say Huan’er who was holding onto Duan Ling Tian’s hand and looking at him affectionately.
“Huh? Isn’t that woman next to Master Duan the famous peerless beauty?”
“Yes! That’s her! The Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect had a conflict with the Tai Yi Celestial Sect because of her.”
Someone said with a sigh, “She’s beauty that brings disaster.”
“In any case, her beauty is truly unrivaled.”
“Master Duan.” Due to the conversation in the surroundings, the old man knew Duan Ling Tian was the young Chief Celestial Alchemist of Tai Yi Celestial Sect! Moreover, he was a prominent Celestial Alchemist who could refine the Overarching Heaven Pill! He looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “I only want to exchange for a single-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability… Anything is fine except for assistive Duke Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability.” Similar to the crowd, he did not think Duan Ling Tian was interested in exchanging anything with him. However, due to Duan Ling Tian’s status, he did not dare to be rude and honestly answered Duan Ling Tian’s question.
Under everyone’s baffled and horrified gaze, Duan Ling Tian turned to look at He Shan and said, “Old Ancestor, I really want this box… Can I exchange our Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s Duke Grade Celestial Method or one of the two Divine Abilities for the box?”
Everyone’s minds were bogled when they heard Duan Ling Tian said he wanted the box.
Even He Shan was baffled. When he regained his senses, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Master Duan, I just said that this box…”
Duan Ling Tian interjected, “Old Ancestor, I really want this box.” He looked at He Shan seriously as he waited for He Shan’s answer.
This was He Shan’s first time seeing Duan Ling Tian so serious. His expression changed slightly as he took a few deep breaths. Then, he finally said, “Master Duan, since you insist, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and I will naturally support your decision…”
