How had Chu Xinghe lost to Chu Tian?

  Actually this was very simple!

  Chu Xinghe had been too confident, thinking that he could calculate Chu Tian’s moves, but he did not know that Chu Tian already had control over everything in the palm of his hands.

  In the purple chest of the craftsmen palace, Chu Tian had found a Substitution Talisman. This symbol could replace him in taking a fatal wound once.

  Chu Tian had already hidden the talisman behind a mirror from the beginning and then intentionally revealed that dead angle. Chu Xinghe had thought his attacks had deceived Chu Tian and released his strongest attack, trying to kill Chu Tian in a single slash.

  In the end, the moment Chu Tian was injured, the Substitution Talisman took his place and he appeared behind Chu Xinghe, taking that opportunity to stab him.

  Chu Xinghe was very strong.

  There was no doubt about that.

  Although Chu Xinghe was only at the peak 4th Awakened Soul Layer, not to mention a normal 4th Awakened Soul Cultivator, even a 5th or 6th Awakened Soul Cultivator would not have 100% confidence in blocking his Heaven Cutting Art while he was in his sword and man as one state.

  But this person’s personality was too flawed. He was too arrogant, proud, and blind.

  This person that seemed strong was actually very fragile. He believed he was the strongest and would not allow himself to lose. This kind of faith allowed him to grow quickly, but if it were ever shaken, it would be hard to recover from.

  Not only had Chu Tian’s attack caused damage that he could not heal from, he had also dealt a blow that completely destroyed his frail pride and vanity.

  So if nothing unexpected happened, he would be unable to recover in a short period of time.

  Chu Tian entered the glowing giant door. When he entered, the door closed behind him. Chu Tian was afraid that he could not return to the giant’s labyrinth and that he was now trapped in this strange space.

  There was a resplendent palace of jade and gold in front of him!

  When Chu Tian walked forward, he heard the sound of gold coming from beneath him. When he looked down, he found that he was stepping on gold, silver, and jewels piled into a tiny hill, shining so brightly that he almost could not open his eyes. As far as the eye could see, the hill of gold covered everything!

  This magnificent scene even surpassed his expectations!

  Soul Contracting items, Sacred Medicines that could shock nations, all kinds of rare materials and precious treasures, as well as inherited cultivation techniques with infinite might. The things here all surpassed a person’s imagination.

  A treasure stash!

  This was a true treasure stash!

  Anything here could be traded for an astonishing amount of wealth.

  The little fox’s eyes went crossed looking at this. All this gold and silver, all these heaven and earth treasures, and all these wonderful Sacred Medicines. If it took everything from here out with it, it could fill its stomach for a hundred years.

  The little fox could eat for a hundred years!

  This helped illustrate just how precious this treasure stash was!

  “Congratulations young human.” A deep and solemn voice rang throughout the hall, “You have passed the final trial and will now obtain the ultimate treasure of this tower.”


  The little fox looked all around, but it could not find the person speaking.

  Chu Tian knit his brows, “The so called treasure stash are these common items?”


  “No, you have two choices!”


  “First, you can take as much as you want from this treasure stash. For an Awakened Soul Cultivator, it is an amazing amount of treasure. You can live the life of a king, never worrying about anything.”


  This voice did not even get to finish.

  “No need!” Chu Tian interrupted it, “I choose the second option!”


  “Oh?” The voice of the main hall revealed a little surprise, “You don’t even know what the second option is yet! You’ve already decided to let go of this rare opportunity to obtain easy treasure to chase this dangerous and illusory opportunity? This doesn’t seem like a sane thing to do!”


  Precious treasures?

  You think I’m lacking money?

  The little fox scratched its head, clearly showing its disapproval to its master.

  Chu Tian firmly said, “I want to pick the second option!”


  The voice of the main hall was silent for a few seconds before slowly saying in a low and deep voice, “The second choice, you will only have a single opportunity. It is the dream of many strong people throughout the ages, but if you choose to accept it, you will face many dangers……You might even die from this. Your wisdom, ambitions, and dreams will all turn to nothing! Your family, your friends, and your loved ones will all go far away. Have you clearly thought this through?”


  A kind of frenzy flashed in Chu Tian’s eyes, “Stop talking nonsense. If I can’t even take this kind of tiny risk, what use do wisdom and ambitions have?”


  The palace of gold and jade disappeared. The little fox quickly stretched out its claw, but it reached nothing, touching the thin air.

  The golden mountain of treasures disappeared.

  The precious divine equipment also disappeared.

  The Sacred Medicines all disappeared.

  The light in the main hall fell into chaos and finally an ancient plain and decrepit bronze palace appeared. Although it was very big, it did not seem like it could handle the rust as it was filled with various changes.

  “Arriving here is enough to prove your strength!”


  “Opening the large array is enough to prove your wisdom!”


  “Resisting the temptation of the treasure is enough to proves your character!”


  “Meeting the requirements, you are eligible to receive the inheritance!”


  The little fox sat on Chu Tian’s shoulder as it began to grumble, seeming like it was angry. Was this fellow acting like this fox did not exist?

  Even if his master did not want the treasure, this fox wanted it!

  The little fox looked all around them, but it could not find where the voice was coming from at all. Perhaps there was no speaker at all. Perhaps there was a consciousness and it had fused into the bronze palace itself.

  “After all these years!” The consciousness seemed relieved, “You are the first person to arrive here!”


  Chu Tian couldn’t help criticizing it.

  Isn’t this nonsense?

  The limitations of this trial were very high, restricting a participant’s age and cultivation base. Even if it was the era that Chu Tian was born in, there would be very few people who could pass this trial.

  The voice of the bronze palace continued to say, “I’ll remind you one last time, you might have obtained the qualification to receive this inheritance, but that does not mean you’ll be able to accept it. If it does not fuse with you, your body will disappear!”


  Chu Tian slightly knit his brows and then revealed a relaxed smile, “Yi? Then I want to see what kind of inheritance this is if it can make my body disappear!”


  The bronze hall’s voice did not say anything and a mysterious strength filled the main hall.

  A large sound rang out and the ground in front of him split apart. A pool of liquid appeared in front of him which looked like the Water of Life. It was clear, bright, and gently glowing, but it contained a powerful might. It seemed like it far surpassed the quality of normal Water of Life.

  From this pool, Chu Tian could feel an aura from the great ancient era!

  Was this something left behind from the great ancient era?

  Not to mention what kind of water this was, just with a trace of great ancient aura power, this water’s value was already hard to estimate. The little fox’s eyes lit up as it looked at it and it began to drool. Chu Tian did not have time to stop it before it jumped out, preparing to drink it.

  At this moment!

  The little fox suddenly felt a pressure fall on it!

  It was scared and quickly jumped back.

  Chu Tian felt a little surprised because there weren’t many things that could scare this little fox. When he walked forward, he saw a vortex come from the center of the pool. After it formed a ten meter tall pillar, it slowly rose up and appeared in front of Chu Tian.

  Hong!

  Chu Tian couldn’t help taking a half step back. The hairs on the little fox’s body stood up as it revealed a strong hostile intent.

  When the pillar appeared, an ancient aura like a spiritual god’s aura instantly filled the entire main hall, making Chu Tian’s soul tremble. His main source spirit also went into a frenzy as if it had just received some kind of provocation.

  “This is……” Chu Tian revealed a bit of surprise, “An Ancient God’s remains?”


  Inside of the ten meter tall pillar, there was a giant head sealed. It seemed very bold and courageous with long horns on its head, being around the size of a house. However, it seemed like it had suffered a terrifying attack and a third of it was missing!

  An Ancient God’s head that died millions of years ago was still releasing this kind of power and pressure that made it hard for Chu Tian to move. It was as if his legs were sealed.

  Ever since the great ancient continent broke and the great ancient era ended, this world no longer had any demon gods.

  One could however find remains of demons gods in various planes and the values of these remains were impossible to imagine.

  Chu Tian had wanted to study an ancient god’s remains in the past, but after running around half the continent, he did not find a single one. The other remains had all been uncovered and hidden by the major powers, with no one being willing to lend one to him.

  He never would have thought.

  That there would be the head of an ancient god here!

  There was only two thirds of this head left, but it was still rare beyond compare!

  The demon gods were existences that could live forever and if he could get a sample, it would be a lot of help to Chu Tian’s research……The Central State Tower’s ultimate hidden treasure was an ancient god’s head like this? This would give clues to the secret of life and death and did match the Central State Tower’s rumours.

  “Not turning away in the face of this divine might.” The bronze palace’s voice sounded again, “Young human, your quality is even better than I thought.”


  Chu Tian gave a snort, “It’s only a dead head! This is considered my prize? Fine, I’ll grudgingly accept it. Help me wrap it up!”


  “What I want to give you isn’t just my head!”


  “What? Your head!”


  Chu Tian was completely frightened. Perhaps inside the ancient bronze palace, the one talking to him was the soul of an ancient god! Was there really a living demon god left in this world?

  When Chu Tian thought of this.

  He was suddenly filled with excitement!

  Spiritual god! This was a spiritual god!

  Wasn’t that the realm he dreamed of reaching?

  As a scholar, Chu Tian had many questions he wanted to ask! There were too many unsolved mysteries left from the great ancient era! If this kind of existence appeared in front of him, what else could make him even more excited!

  Even if he obtained nothing from this trial, just being able to talk to a spiritual god meant that this trip was not wasted!
